Chapter 58 -58: The Two Faces of Li Muchen
Lu Sheng hung up the phone, looked up, and saw several people around her watching.
Li Muchen heard the call was from Lu Jingyan and mentioned Old Mr. Fu, and asked Lu Sheng with a slight frown, “What happened?”
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, a stark contrast from her relaxed and smiling demeanor during dinner. Now, she looked solemn and detached as she repeated what Lu Jingyan had told her on the phone.
“You mean, when you visited the Fu Mansion the other day you prescribed a medicine for Old Mr. Fu?” Lu Siyan’s eyes flashed with surprise, “You understand traditional Chinese medicine?”
“My legs were cured by Shengsheng.” Before Lu Sheng could answer, Li Muchen had already spoken firmly.
“And, she only gave me acupuncture twice, and I was able to stand up and walk.”
“What?”
Everyone present was shocked and their eyes widened.
It was well-known that Li Muchen had been disabled and in a wheelchair for over a decade.
With the wealth and power of the Li Family, they naturally could find the best doctors in the world and use the most advanced treatments. If curing his legs was an easy task, Li Muchen would have been standing long ago.
Yet now, Li Muchen was saying that it was Lu Sheng who cured his legs.
Merely two sessions of acupuncture allowed a man who had been wheelchair-bound for over a decade to stand and walk again. This was not just understanding traditional Chinese medicine—this was a Divine Doctor.
One might even say that across the entire country, aside from the renowned Chief Traditional Medicine Practitioner Feng Guolin, who had long stopped seeing patients, it would be difficult to find a second person with such skill.
And this incredible Divine Doctor, was none other than the underage girl standing before them right now. How could this not be shocking?
Lu Youye thought that Lu Sheng’s piano performance at the banquet and her full marks on the Shengjing exam in just forty minutes were already impressive.
He hadn’t expected her to have this kind of skill.
“Oh my god,” Lu Youye hugged Lu Sheng in one swift motion, pride written all over his face, “Truly befitting of my precious little sister! How many more surprises do you have that your brother doesn’t know about?”
If this could be considered a surprise—
Lu Sheng thought, there were still too many to count.
“But since you, Shengsheng, are so skilled in medicine, how come Old Mr. Fu’s condition didn’t improve and he even coughed up blood and fainted?” asked Fang Hong.
“I don’t know,” Lu Sheng furrowed her brows slightly, “what exactly is going on until I see for myself.”
“I’ll go with you,” said Li Muchen, “Old Mr. Fu is also my elder, so naturally, I should visit him if he’s unwell.”
“Okay.” Lu Sheng nodded in agreement.
After all, this was a matter for the Fu Family, and as an outsider, it was not appropriate for Fang Hong to intrude, so she and Lin Yi and Lin Yan took their leave.
Lu Sheng, Lu Siyan, and Lu Youye got into Li Muchen’s car, with Chen An driving in front, heading towards the Fu Mansion.
[Fu Mansion]
When Lu Sheng and the others stepped out of the car, they were already met by Fu Family’s servants waiting to guide them; Lu Jingyan probably had not arrived yet.
Crossing a classic Chinese garden blooming with colorful flowers and shrubs and a path paved with pebbles, they arrived at the separate courtyard where Old Mr. Fu resided in the old Fu Mansion.
Just as Lu Sheng had seen on her last visit, the exterior ornamentations exuded an ancient charm. The servants led them through the door and then went to the inner bedroom to inform the people inside that Lu Sheng had arrived.
When the servant came out and asked her to go in, Lu Sheng walked ahead.
However, just as she pushed open the door and stepped into the bedroom, a teacup was suddenly hurled in her direction—
“You heartless, lowly peasant girl, you still have the nerve to show your face?!”
—came the scolding voice of Mrs. Fu.

Lu Sheng’s expression turned stern, and she frowned and ducked to the side, but the expected sound of shattering did not occur.
The teacup hadn’t even reached her when Li Muchen, who stood in front of her, caught it with swift hands.
Lu Sheng looked up and saw that Old Mr. Fu’s originally spacious bedroom was now crowded with people.
Besides Grandpa Fu, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and the imposing Mrs. Fu, she didn’t recognize anyone else.
“You…”
Mrs. Fu, Chen Ruyun, was originally furious. Seeing that the teacup she threw didn’t hit Lu Sheng and was about to scold her, but upon closer inspection of the man who caught the cup, her eyes widened on the spot.
Not just her, everyone in the room was stunned.
“…Mrs. Fu, is this how the Fu Family treats their guests?” Li Muchen stood in front of Lu Sheng, lifting his gaze to speak coldly.
As tender as his expression was towards Lu Sheng before, it was now just as gloomy.
His broad palm tightly clenched the teacup, and his extremely handsome face was shrouded in a cold and fearsome aura, intimidating to anyone who saw it.
The bedroom, which had been somewhat noisy, instantly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, with everyone looking on in shock.
“…Muchen?”
Chen Ruyun was stunned, her expression revealing panic for a second, and then immediately softened her tone in embarrassment, “Why are you here? And without a servant announcing your arrival.”
Chen Ruyun did not expect Li Muchen to come.
She thought that only Lu Sheng was coming, so she threw the teacup without looking. But to her surprise, not only did Li Muchen come, but Lu Chengye’s other two sons were also there.
“…Muchen?” The girl next to Chen Ruyun, who was wearing a Chanel suit and had exquisite makeup, also looked towards Li Muchen, her mouth opening in shock, “Your leg—”
Li Muchen came, and he was actually standing?
Could it be that his leg was healed???
This girl, named Fu Siya, was twenty-three years old. She was the beloved only daughter of Old Mr. Fu, and also Fu Chen’s cousin.
Fu Siya was the current president of the Fu Group and often appeared on the internet and television. Among these wealthy heirs, she was considered exceptionally capable.
A year ago, after returning from studying abroad, she saw Li Muchen at a business banquet and was wildly attracted to this man who had an incomparable combination of looks, physique, family background, and status.
However, such a man, who was out of reach for common people, was unfortunately confined to a wheelchair.
Even if Li Muchen was exceptional, and even if she was drawn to his face, as Miss Fu, she could never marry a man with a disability, so Fu Siya immediately put away those thoughts.
But now, Li Muchen was standing in front of everyone, his handsome face and powerful aura making her heart tremble in an instant.
So tall, so handsome.
More handsome than any man she had ever seen in her life.
But Li Muchen didn’t spare her a glance, nor did he respond to her words. He just coldly watched Chen Ruyun, waiting for an explanation.
On the other side, Lu Youye, who was younger and more hot-tempered, was not as patient as Li Muchen.
Seeing that this woman from the Fu Family dared to throw a teacup at their precious little sister right upon entering the door, he was instantly furious: “You crazy…”
Lu Youye was cursing and about to confront her when he was suddenly held back by Lu Sheng.
“I’m fine, brother. Don’t be impulsive,” Lu Sheng said, while glancing at Chen Ruyun.
After all, she was a wife from a powerful family. Regardless of whether her heart was filthy or not, she always presented herself with dignity and grace.
This Chen Ruyun actually just threw a teacup directly at her, an outsider. This was not only a disregard for her, but also an audacious act.
“Mrs. Fu,” Lu Sheng stood upright, raising her eyes to speak, “As a junior, the moment I entered the door, you threw a teacup at me and cursed me, calling me a black-hearted, cheap person, saying I had no shame to come here.”
The girl’s beautiful eyes were calm and unruffled, making her appear much more cultured than Chen Ruyun, “I would like to ask what I have done to make you act and speak in this way?”
