Chapter 170 Grandpa from Hong Kong is here!
When Su Yue walked in with Gu Beichen's help, dozens of eyes were immediately drawn to her, a mixture of scrutiny, curiosity, jealousy, and disdain.
A sprightly old man in a Zhongshan suit, with gray hair but surprisingly bright eyes, strode down from his seat before the host could introduce him and grabbed Su Yue's hand.
"You're Su Yue?!" Zhang Shengshou's voice trembled with excitement. "That letter, you wrote it?!"
Su Yue nodded.
"Great! Excellent!" Old Zhang slapped his thigh, looked around the room, and announced in a booming voice.
"From today onwards, Comrade Su Yue will be my last disciple, Zhang Qingyuan's last disciple!"
"Anyone who dares to disrespect her is going against me, Zhang Qingyuan!"
His words shocked everyone present!
Closed-door disciple!
In Beijing's medical community, these four words carry more weight than any title!
This means that Su Yue has risen to the top in one step, becoming a figure at the pinnacle of the medical community in Beijing!
Countless people gasped, and their gazes toward Su Yue completely changed.
This isn't some country bumpkin; she's clearly a celestial being who descended from the heavens on a rocket!
Ignoring everyone's shock, Old Zhang took out a bunch of brass keys from his pocket and solemnly placed them in Su Yue's hand.
"Girl, this is the key to our most advanced independent laboratory at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. From today onwards, it's yours! Use it however you want. If you need any people or equipment, just say the word, and I'll approve it!"
This isn't just favoritism, it's spoiling!
Holding the heavy bunch of keys, Su Yue knew in her heart that this was not just a laboratory, but also a powerful tool given to her by Elder Zhang, and her greatest source of confidence in establishing herself in Beijing.
The news spread like wildfire, reaching all of Beijing's high society circles within half a day.
The second daughter-in-law of the Gu family, who had just returned from Hainan Island, was taken in as the last disciple by Zhang Qingyuan, a renowned physician, and was even given a top-notch laboratory!
This news is more explosive than any gossip!
...
Meanwhile, another passenger plane flying from the south landed at the Capital Airport.
Surrounded by his children and bodyguards, Old Master Huo descended the gangway. Although he was advanced in years, he stood ramrod straight and his eyes were sharp as an eagle's.
"Have you found her? Where is my granddaughter now?"
Huo Shouxin strode forward and reported in a low voice.
"Dad, I've found out. My niece's husband is Gu Beichen, the second young master of the Gu family, and they live in the military compound! I've inquired, and they just arrived in Beijing from Hainan Island today!"
Old Master Huo slammed his cane heavily on the ground.
"Get the car ready! Let's go to the Gu family's!"
"Dad!" Huo Shouxin quickly dissuaded him, "Going now? We haven't even told them yet, isn't that too abrupt? What if...we scare our niece?"
Old Master Huo paused.
yes.
We've waited twenty years already, what's a little longer?
What would happen if his beloved granddaughter were frightened by this old man who suddenly appeared?
The old man's tense lips relaxed slightly, and his sharp eyes softened, revealing a hint of trepidation as he approached home.
He cleared his throat and waved his hand, trying to appear calm.
"Then let's make the call first! Tell that old man from the Gu family that I, Huo, am going to pay a visit and take my own granddaughter home!"
...
The military compound, the Gu family.
Su Yue had just finished a bowl of calming soup that Gu Beichen had personally prepared and was being helped to rest on the sofa when the phone rang.
The old master of the Gu family answered the phone himself. At first, he said "hello" in a strong voice, but as he listened, the expression on his face became strange.
Surprise, bewilderment, and then a mixture of amusement and disbelief.
"Old Huo?! What did you say? You're back?"
"You're taking your granddaughter away?"
After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Gu looked at Su Yue, then at his son, his expression indescribable.
"Beichen, you're quite something, kid." Old Master Gu clicked his tongue in amazement. "You brought me back a double granddaughter-in-law without making a sound."
First, he was publicly accepted as Zhang Shengshou's last disciple. Now, even that old fellow from the Huo family, who rarely leaves Hong Kong, has personally called to acknowledge his kinship.
How many more surprises is this girl hiding?
Gu Beichen was also taken aback, then looked at Su Yue with a look of inquiry and understanding in his eyes.
No wonder.
No wonder I felt she had a unique temperament the first time I met her.
Su Yue was puzzled by his gaze. "Dad, what happened?"
"Nothing to worry about, this is fantastic news!" Old Master Gu slapped his thigh, beaming from ear to ear. "Your grandpa is coming to see you!"
grandfather?
Su Yue was completely stunned. She hadn't expected that someone would come knocking on her door before she even started looking for her family.
Just as the entire Gu family was preparing to launch a new round of deployments around this new breakthrough, the butler, Old Zhang, suddenly rushed in from outside in a hurry.
He ran to Gu Zhengfeng's side and reported breathlessly.
"Sir! Madam! There are...several cars have arrived at the gate!"
Zhang Huilan frowned and said, "What car? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Butler Zhang swallowed hard, his face showing a mixture of shock and confusion.
"That car... I've never seen that car before! It's black, gleaming, and even more impressive than the capitalists' cars in the movies! The license plate is strange too, it's not from around here, it seems to be... from Hong Kong!"
Luxury cars with Hong Kong license plates?
The Gu family members were all stunned.
The butler continued, his voice trembling slightly.
"A lot of people got off the car, all dressed like they were in a magazine. The one in the lead was an old gentleman with white hair, but he was very energetic and had an imposing presence... even more imposing than yours! He... he specifically asked to see you and... and the young mistress!"
They specifically requested to see Gu Zhengfeng and Su Yue.
Su Yue's heart skipped a beat.
A thought clearly surfaced in her mind.
It's them!
The Huo family has arrived!
She just didn't expect that they would attack in such a grand and imposing manner!
Gu Zhengfeng and Zhang Huilan exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Gu Zhengfeng said in a deep voice and stood up first.
The entire Gu family mobilized and quickly walked towards the gate of the compound.
Before even reaching the gate, several black Lincoln sedans, which would have looked like aliens in 1970s Beijing, were parked imposingly outside the compound.
A row of bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses stood by the car door, their posture upright and their aura powerful, attracting the attention of the neighbors who were passing by, who craned their necks to watch the spectacle.
At the very front of the crowd stood an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a dark Tang suit.
Although he was old, he stood up straight, and although his eyes were cloudy with age, they exuded an air of authority and sharpness from someone who had long held a high position.
