Zhao Qiqi certainly knew about martial arts masters; they were all elusive figures, practically like gods to ordinary people.
"No, impossible!" Zhao Qiqi thought for a moment and insisted, "Grandpa, you said before that a martial arts grandmaster needs sixty years of cultivation. How old is this kid? How could he possibly be a martial arts grandmaster! In my opinion, he's just making a fuss. Maybe he's after your precious yellow pearl!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xishun was also stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but touch the yellow pearl in his pocket.
Upon closer reflection, what my granddaughter said made sense.
This young man must be in his early twenties. A martial arts master at such a young age is simply unheard of.
Could it be that I really misread it?
"Alright, Grandpa, stop thinking about that liar, let's go!"
Zhao Qiqi helped Zhao Xishun up, and they were about to leave.
Zhao Xishun's eyes flickered for a moment, then he took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, squatted down, carefully picked up the pills, wrapped them in the handkerchief, and stuffed them into his pocket.
Zhao Qiqi was speechless. "Oh grandpa, why are you wrapping this piece of junk? It's a counterfeit product with no manufacturer, no production date, and no quality certification. Who knows what it's made of? Maybe it's full of high-tech gadgets and rudimentary materials. You should throw it away!"
Zhao Xishun shook his head.
I'm going to die sooner or later anyway, so I won't suffer any loss or be fooled.
Moreover, he felt that this young man did not seem to be the kind of unscrupulous person his granddaughter had described!
No matter what Zhao Qiqi said, Zhao Xishun still put the pills away.
Zhao Qiqi looked helpless. "Alright, Grandpa, let's go. Oh, I forgot to tell you, my eldest sister is bringing her boyfriend home today. He's really great; I heard he's a top student from Yandu Medical University! My eldest sister is quite satisfied with him!"
Zhao Qiqi said with a grin.
"Oh, really?"
Zhao Xishun's face immediately lit up with joy; his biggest concern was the marriage of his two granddaughters.
His second granddaughter, Zhao Qiqi, is still young, but his eldest granddaughter, Zhao Linlin, is already in her mid-twenties. Moreover, this eldest granddaughter has lived with him since she was a child, and he personally raised her, placing high hopes on her, hoping that she can find a good partner and share the Zhao family business in the future.
The Zhao family has no male heirs, and now that he is in poor health, his veterans are all eager to take over.
These were all old brothers who had prospered alongside him. Zhao Xishun knew them well; these old guys would never allow Zhao's pawnshop to fall into the hands of another family, so they all hoped to marry into his granddaughter's family.
In fact, he also hoped that his eldest granddaughter could choose one of the descendants of these shareholders and elders to marry.
But Zhao Linlin didn't like any of them and insisted on finding one herself.
He would naturally be very happy if he could find a son-in-law who would live with him, since the children would still bear the Zhao surname, and no one else could say anything about it.
Zhao Xishun couldn't wait to take Zhao Qiqi home.
Meanwhile, at this time, the Zhao family mansion, which had three entrances and three exits, was being renovated.
Zhao Linlin was sitting in the living room, entertaining a refined-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Zhao Linlin is 1.7 meters tall, with fair skin, a good figure, and a great temperament. She is a typical rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned woman, so her standards are naturally very high.
The boys who can catch her eye must be outstanding in every aspect.
For example, height, appearance, education, speech, knowledge, and so on!
After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family and the current head manager of Zhao's Pawnshop.
All eyes were on her.
The partner she chooses must be someone who can maintain a respectable image.
The other party doesn't have to be from a wealthy or noble family.
But one must be knowledgeable and cultured, at least presentable enough to be seen by others.
She had looked at several before, but she wasn't very satisfied with any of them.
She found this partner on Jiayuan.com, spending hundreds of thousands of yuan in membership fees, and finally met someone she liked.
This young man is named Wang Cong, a top student at Yandu Medical University, and he is currently pursuing his doctorate.
I've talked to him a few times and he seems quite nice. Although Wang Cong comes from a poor family, he's hardworking and ambitious. He went from a rural area in Northwest China to Yandu University, and eventually earned his doctorate—it's truly remarkable. For ordinary people, this is already considered defying fate.
Moreover, the other party is open-minded and can accept being a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family.
This made her extremely happy, and that's why she decided to bring Wang Cong home to show her grandfather.
"Wang Cong, when you meet Grandpa, relax and don't be shy. My grandpa is a very nice person, and he loves me very much. Just make yourself at home! Oh, by the way, he's not in good health. You're studying traditional Chinese medicine, so you can take a look at him later!" Zhao Linlin instructed from the side.
While eating grapes, Wang Cong said with a smile, "I know, Linlin. Don't worry, your grandfather is my grandfather. I certainly won't be careless when it comes to treating my own grandfather!"
Zhao Linlin also had a grape in her mouth, her pretty face flushed. This young man's mouth was as sweet as these Kyoho grapes.
She has a rather assertive personality and likes others to do whatever they want. Wang Cong is like a little puppy, which suits her just the way she likes him.
After a while, the sound of a car stopping could be heard outside.
It was Zhao Xishun and Zhao Qiqi who returned.
"Grandpa, you're back?"
Zhao Linlin quickly led Wang Cong to greet them.
As soon as Zhao Xishun entered the room, his eyes immediately fell on the fair-skinned boy standing to the side, and his eyes lit up slightly.
The person wearing glasses looks knowledgeable; not bad, not bad!
"Linlin, I heard from Qiqi that you brought a friend home..."
"Oh, Grandpa, let me introduce you. This is Wang Cong, a doctoral candidate in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Yandu Medical University!" Zhao Linlin quickly introduced.
"A doctor?" Zhao Xishun's eyes lit up.
Hello, Doctor!
Of all professions, only studying is noble. To be able to earn a doctorate means that one's intelligence and perseverance surpass 99% of people. It is no exaggeration to call one a dragon among men.
Not bad, not bad!
Wang Cong walked up with a smile and bowed ninety degrees to Zhao Xishun. "Grandpa, my name is Wang Cong. This is my first time visiting your home, and I don't know what to give you! Oh, by the way, these are walnuts from our hometown, which are good for replenishing qi and blood, and these raisins can soften blood vessels and help you stay away from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. Please don't find them too expensive!"
"Oh, what are you saying? This is good stuff, how could Grandpa possibly dislike it! Please, have a seat!" Zhao Xishun liked the young man more and more as he looked at him. He was surrounded by sycophants who would bring gifts of cigarettes or alcohol, so this young man was so honest and simple, it was truly rare to find someone like him.
It suits his taste perfectly!
"Hello Brother Wang, I'm Zhao Qiqi!"
Zhao Qiqi has a cheerful personality, and before Zhao Linlin could introduce her, she had already introduced herself.
Wang Cong nodded and smiled, "Hello, little sister. You look great, but you seem a bit irritable lately. Did you just lose your temper? Oh dear, girls should never lose their temper, it affects their endocrine system. I'll prescribe a medicine for you later, so you can take good care of yourself!"
The three generations of the family were stunned. They never expected that Wang Cong could diagnose illnesses just by looking at people's faces!
Zhao Qiqi was even more stunned, "Brother Wang, you're amazing! You could even tell I was just angry?"
