Su Chen was pleased. He knew the time to pretend had come.

Finally, mastery of various miscellaneous skills can be put to good use.

He first lowered her mental guard by paying off her debts. In order for her not to feel indebted, he offered her a big job. At the same time, he arranged a proper living place for her family and not to forget letting her little sister live the good, happy life a child should live.

Due to all this, the gratitude, the admiration, the respect Lu Lann had for him was over the moon.

Now, the only thing left was to convert these feelings of gratitude, admiration and respect into infatuation, closeness, heartbeats, and someone she is willing to share her life with.

Thus, treating her mother was the final step in breaking through her last defence.

'Geez, now I remember that Chu Fang also has some healing abilities.'

'The crappy story goes like this, during his initial years as his mercenary king, one time he got seriously injured by the enemy. While escaping, he fell from a cliff, and what is even this damn luck? At the bottom of the valley, an ancient acupuncture expert rescued him. In his last years of life, he felt amazing when he saw such a sturdy and muscular man. He whole-heartedly treated his injuries and at the same time imparted all his medical knowledge to Chu Fang!'

'I guess this is how the original plot would have been….. Chu Fang has a lucky encounter with Lu Lann, then after treating her mother, her mother, because of being revived by him, to thank him for letting her see her daughters once again, instantly betroth her daughter. After that, he takes Lu Lann down in a one-full-sweep. Then, Lu Lann, with her overpowered business skills, helped Chu Fang build and expand his newly-found business empire.'

Su Chen thought with an emotion.

"Since you say you trust me, don't worry."

"I won't let you down."

Su Chen's words were domineering.

He went to the inner room where Lu Lann's mother, Lu Mina, was lying on the bed.

The woman was old, her white hair and calluses on her hands with dull skin compared to the smooth skin a woman should have clearly told that she was a hard worker.

Various things like a pulse reader, ventilator, urine bag, etc were connected to sustain her life.

Next to her were the two experienced nurses who would monitor her 24 hours.

"Good Morning!"

"Good Morning Young Master!"

Upon seeing Su Chen, both nurses hurriedly got up from their stools and politely greeted him.

"Hmm!"

Su Chen looked at Lu Mina for five minutes before moving closer to her.

He then held her pale hand and started taking her pulse.

Even if Su Chen had no idea what he was doing, he blindly trusted the medical information fed to his mind by the system.

If the protagonist can pretend, then why not him…who has now gained an even more sophisticated knowledge, can't?

Lu Lann and the two nurses looked at him, working so diligently.

Su Chen's pretending was over the charts. Even the most capable actors might feel shame witnessing such a moment.

To the spectators, his complicated working figure, combined with a 100% charm, was no different from a living handsome medicine God.

"I see!"

Su Chen then moved his fingers to pinch the patient's neck and face.

"So her nerves are blocked in the neck, affecting the brain's functioning altogether."

He murmured in a low voice.

All the people present were stunned upon hearing such words. You know, even the top doctors couldn't find what was wrong but Su Chen diagnosed the problem within 10 minutes?

If those amazing, overproud doctors heard this, I am afraid they may cry on the spot.

Compared to the two nurses, Lu Lann suddenly became excited when she heard these words.

'Is what he said real?'

'Can he really treat my mother?'

The glimmer of hope, which was almost extinguished, like a phoenix, reignited to the fullest.

Her eyes were instantaneously filled with expectations, and her fingers started trembling with excitement, but at the same time, there was tension.

Tension: What if he is lying? What if all this is an act by Su Chen to help her uplift her mood by giving false hope?

Even if she was a low earner, the name of Su Chen as the only heir of the behemoth, the Su Group, was well known among the common public.

She had heard that he was a licking dog before, but then he turned over and fiercely fought back against the Mei family and even kicked out his elder sister Su Yinger out of his family, saying she was a white-eyed-wolf, and according to today's newspaper's headline, that beauty named Mei Qing last night break away from her family, alienating her relationship with her father before following Su Chen arrogantly back home.

But in all this news, there was never a mention that Su Chen had some medical knowledge.

Lu Lann thought over and over again if she had missed out on some news about him, but the result was the same. That's why her mind was still wavering on whether to stop Su Chen lest he accidentally kill her mother.

Just when she was about to move forward to stop Su Chen, his bold declaration: Just trust me, I won't let you down renounced in her head. His intense gaze, his confident demeanour, all the goodwill brushed up till now, was used at this second.

"Bring me some sterilised silver acupuncture needles!"

"I can treat this condition easily."

-Su Chen brought everyone back to reality with his words.

Hearing such overconfident words, the nurses wanted to argue there and then, but his serious eyes made them forcefully close their mouths.

In a hurry, they left the room quickly to find the things Su Chen ordered them.

Lu Lann stood there in a daze.

In the end, even though the common sense was saying to hurriedly separate Su Chen from her mother and slap him tightly for playing with a life, she gritted her teeth and decided to trust him.
