Chapter 72: The Heiress of the Bai Family

The Bai family had arrived. Jiang Hao and Su Qingli remained where they stood, unmoving, while the members of the Su family, along with Pan Yixuan and other guests, all went forward to greet them.

From the entrance, it was neither the patriarch of the Bai family nor Bai Qiming who entered, but rather a young girl, flamboyantly dressed. She was about eighteen years old, her emerald green dress accentuating her youthful energy, radiating an aura of vitality that made people feel joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Was she the one sent by the Bai family to attend the banquet?

“Hello, may I ask who you are…” Madam Su hesitated as she stepped forward, probing gently.

“You must be Madam Su, Grandma Su, hello. My name is Bai Tianyu, Bai Qiming is my father,” the girl replied with a bright smile.

Madam Su was suddenly enlightened, and hurriedly praised, “Hello, hello! I never imagined Bai Qiming would have such a beautiful and lively daughter… Tianyu, are you representing your family at the banquet today?”

“Of course. My grandfather’s legs aren’t good, and my father is very busy, so I came instead. Grandma Su, since neither my grandfather nor my father could come, I hope you won’t mind?” Bai Tianyu asked with a gentle smile.

“Of course not! Having you here already honors our Su family, how could we possibly mind?” Madam Su replied quickly.

The other members of the Su family chimed in with compliments, and even Pan Yixuan seized the opportunity to say a few kind words.

Bai Tianyu handed over a gift box to Madam Su, smiling as she said, “Grandma Su, this is a small gift I picked up on the way, just a token of my respect.”

“You shouldn’t have brought a gift, your presence is enough!” Madam Su’s smile nearly split her face.

Not only had the Bai family sent someone to attend the Su family’s banquet, but they had also prepared a gift—what face this gave the Su family!

She handed her cane to Su Tianming beside her, then accepted the gift box with both hands and carefully opened it. The Su family members and guests craned their necks to peer inside.

Within the box lay a jade Buddha, white tinged with green.

The jade Buddha stood about fifteen centimeters tall, plump and smiling like Maitreya.

“Grandma Su, it’s made of Hetian jade. It cost me over eight million. Do you like it?” Bai Tianyu asked with a playful smile.

At those words, the guests were instantly stunned.

The Bai family truly was wealthy and generous! The young lady of the Bai family casually purchased a gift worth over eight million, and gave it away without the slightest hesitation. Most people, even with that much money, would never be so extravagant.

Madam Su’s face flushed with excitement as she nodded repeatedly. “I love it! I absolutely love it! Thank you, Tianyu, you’ve honored me so greatly!”

“As long as you like it, Grandma Su,” Bai Tianyu replied with a gentle smile.

Next, Pan Yixuan stepped forward, respectfully bowing to Bai Tianyu. “Miss Tianyu, hello. My name is Pan Yixuan, of the Pan family…”

Bai Tianyu glanced at him, her brows furrowing as she replied bluntly, “Pan Yixuan? Who’s that? Never heard of you.”

Pan Yixuan’s face turned utterly sour.

Bai Tianyu paid him no further attention, instead scanning the room before loudly asking, “Jiang Hao? Who is Jiang Hao?”

After a moment, a voice finally responded.

“I am Jiang Hao, over here.”

Bai Tianyu immediately looked toward Jiang Hao, then, holding up her skirt, she ran lightly over to him. Standing before him, she pinched her skirt and bowed.

In that instant, everyone around was utterly shocked.

The young lady of the Bai family—so distinguished that even Madam Su had to greet her personally—was bowing to Jiang Hao? Jiang Hao was merely the Su family’s live-in son-in-law!

Yet Bai Tianyu was bowing to him. How could this not astonish everyone present!

“Mr. Jiang, my grandfather asked me to thank you. He also said he would come to see you in a few days,” Bai Tianyu said, her smile radiant after the bow.

Her words sent another wave of shock through the crowd.

The Bai family patriarch had sent his granddaughter to thank Jiang Hao and even said he would visit Jiang Hao personally? What was happening here!

With a thud, a female guest fainted and collapsed to the floor; perhaps the repeated shocks had finally overwhelmed her.

No one in the hall bothered with her; at this moment, everyone was staring at Jiang Hao in amazement.

Jiang Hao, however, was not at all flustered, but calm and composed. He asked mildly, “How is your grandfather’s health now?”

“Thanks to you, Mr. Jiang, my grandfather has completely recovered, and is full of energy! He said you truly are a doctor reborn, your medical skill is unparalleled!” Bai Tianyu replied playfully, giving Jiang Hao a thumbs-up.

Jiang Hao smiled and nodded. “I wouldn’t call myself a miracle doctor. Treating illness and saving lives is simply the duty of a physician.”

So even the Bai family patriarch’s illness had been cured by Jiang Hao!

Several more guests fainted with a thud.

At this moment, everyone present was stunned, staring blankly at Jiang Hao, unable to recover from the shock.

Even Su Qingli was gazing at Jiang Hao with awe.

After all, even she had not expected that Jiang Hao had not only cured the patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Shibo, but had also healed the Bai family patriarch of the provincial capital!

It was almost supernatural!

Jiang Hao did not forget his purpose. He looked playfully at Pan Yixuan and asked coolly, “Miss Bai, could you explain to everyone who was it that invited your father to intervene, who requested your Bai family to provide the hundred million in funds for the Su family?”

“Of course it was you, Mr. Jiang. Isn’t that obvious?” Bai Tianyu replied, puzzled.

With a thud, Pan Yixuan collapsed to the floor, his mouth agape.

The members of the Su family looked at Bai Tianyu in disbelief. Madam Su urgently asked, “Miss Bai, could you repeat, who asked your family to help?”

“It was Mr. Jiang, Grandma Su. Mr. Jiang called my father, and that’s why he agreed to provide financial assistance to your Su family. If it weren’t for Mr. Jiang, my father wouldn’t have been so agreeable—after all, my family isn’t a charity,” Bai Tianyu finished, adorably sticking out her tongue.

Madam Su slowly turned, gazing at Jiang Hao in disbelief, murmuring, “Why… why…”

Jiang Hao glanced at Su Qingli, then replied coldly, “Your Su family was in dire straits, and I originally had no intention of helping—frankly, I thought it would be better if your family disappeared. But Su Qingli came to my place, persistently begging me, and when I couldn’t stand her pestering any longer, I finally agreed.”
