chapter 13 Treatment or blind date?

"It didn't take long."
Alexander Xu smiled and glanced at the nearby security guard, whether intentionally or not.
This housekeeper, Nick Su, who managed all external affairs for the Su family, was also a discerning person. He quickly sensed that something was amiss.
"Jeff, what's going on?"
His face darkened, and all the security guards were instantly frightened.
"Uh, uh, Mr. Nick, there was a misunderstanding, and I..."
The head security guard, Jeff, stammered, unable to speak fluently.
He never imagined that what Alexander Xu had said would actually be true.
Moreover, the fact that Nick Su personally invited Alexander Xu meant that Alexander Xu's identity was definitely not ordinary.
Realizing this, he regretted his actions deeply, even wishing he could slap himself hard.
"You are a snob!" After understanding the whole situation, Nick Su's face darkened. "Mr. Xu is a guest of our Su family, and you actually dared to block him at the entrance?!"
"Oh, Mr. Nick, I really didn't know!" Jeff pleaded incessantly. "I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Please don't hold it against me."
"You're apologizing to the wrong person."
Nick Su was also a little angry.
Alexander Xu, who was the lifesaver for the Su family, had been mistreated by this group of people.
If Alexander Xu were unhappy and complained to the Su family's head, he, too, would face their master's reprimand.
"Mr. Xu, I'm truly sorry. I know I was wrong," Jeff quickly said, bowing and looking terrified.
"It's okay; you were just doing your job," Alexander Xu replied, not wanting to make a fuss about it.
"Mr. Xu, you're very generous. Let's consider this matter resolved. Go back now; don't make trouble here," Nick Su impatiently waved his hand and invited Alexander Xu into the car, his face filled with apologies.
"Mr. Xu, I'm truly sorry. Miss Su was in a bad mood, and Mr. Su is handling it. He specially sent me to greet you, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
"It's alright," Alexander Xu replied calmly with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, please."
Nick Su glanced at him for a moment and, seeing that Alexander Xu showed no sign of anger, he relaxed slightly.
After Alexander Xu got into the car, Nick Su drove the sightseeing car towards the Su family's villa.
"Mr. Xu, this location in Golden Garden Villa is quite good, with fresh air and an elegant environment, and the stay is comfortable."
"If you're interested, I can help you find a suitable place."
Alexander Xu smiled and shook his head. "I can't afford it."
This villa area was extremely expensive, with prices reaching hundreds of millions. At the moment, he had only five million.
"You're thinking too much, Mr. Xu. What I meant was to give you one as a gift," Nick Su said with a smile. "This is Mr. Su's intention."
A single villa might not be much for the Su family's wealth, but it would be a great deal to bind Alexander Xu to the Su family.
"No need for that," Alexander Xu replied. "I haven't done anything to deserve it."
"Don't be too modest, Mr. Xu," Nick Su said with a smile, changing the subject. He didn't insist further.
Before long, the two arrived at the entrance of Villa No. 8.
This three-story villa covered at least 500 square meters. It was elegantly decorated, with a touch of grace.
Abundant flowers adorned the surroundings, and finely carved woodwork decorated the wooden fences. The attention to detail was impressive.
With pavilions, rockeries, and a luxurious swimming pool, it was undoubtedly a wealthy neighborhood.
Alexander Xu, who was somewhat inexperienced in such matters, looked around as he walked.
Nick Su exchanged pleasantries, but he continued to secretly observe Alexander Xu.
The Su family had extensive connections, and Gary Su entertained many business owners daily.
But to find someone as composed, unruffled, and steady as this young man, both in demeanor and footwork, was indeed a rare sight.
"Mr. Su is waiting in the living room!"
Nick Su extended his hand and made a welcoming gesture.
Alexander Xu followed the cobblestone path to the living room and saw Gary Su, who was on the phone.
"Mr. Xu has arrived!" Gary Su noticed and hung up the phone, then approached Alexander Xu.
"Please have a seat. Nick, bring some tea!"
Alexander Xu didn't feel out of place and sat on the expensive Western European-imported sofa, glancing around.
"I heard you had some trouble at the entrance," Gary Su said. "It's my fault. I'll use tea as a substitute for wine to offer you a drink."
With that, Gary Su raised his teacup and took a sip, displaying sincerity.
"No worries," Alexander Xu waved his hand and asked, "How is your father doing?"
"Thanks to Mr. Xu, after returning from the hospital, my father's condition has been stable."
As they spoke, they moved to Hale Su's bedroom.
Hale Su was lying in bed, his complexion still somewhat pale but his spirits high.
"Mr. Xu, I've heard from Gary about what happened yesterday. If it weren't for you, I might have lost my life," Hale Su held Alexander Xu's hand and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
"A good doctor heals with both skill and sincerity. I just did my duty," Alexander Xu smiled and placed his hand on the old man's pulse.
After confirming that the toxins had been eliminated, Alexander Xu took out a silver needle and began acupuncture.
Half an hour later, Hale Su stood up, feeling full of energy. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Why do I feel like I've become ten years younger!"
"Mr. Su, you're in excellent health," Alexander Xu said with a smile.
"Hahaha, young man, you have a way with words!" Hale Su was in a great mood, praising Alexander Xu, "You're so young, yet you have such excellent medical skills. You're truly remarkable!"
He held Alexander Xu's hand and, the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He suddenly asked a question out of the blue.
"By the way, Mr. Xu, are you married?"
"Well, I haven't gotten married yet," Alexander Xu smiled, thinking of the result he had been waiting for for several years.
Gary Su quickly winked at him, and Hale Su realized there was more to the story. He continued, "It’s a good news! Mr. Xu, I have a granddaughter who is about your age. She's impeccable in terms of looks and figure. Many young men are pursuing her, from the Economic and Trade Building to the Golden Garden Villa."
"If you're interested, I can introduce you two to get to know each other. Young people like you should communicate more."
Although it was somewhat impulsive to mention matchmaking on their first meeting, Hale Su was extremely fond of Alexander Xu.
This young man not only had abilities but was also mature and humble, displaying a sense of responsibility and a personal bottom line in his actions.
Such young people were rare in today's society.
"Mr. Su, I... I..."
Alexander Xu was at a loss for words.
What was happening?
Was this a medical treatment or a matchmaking session?
"Dad, why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Gary Su was also somewhat amused and puzzled. "Considering Aurora's personality, would she agree?"
After saying this, Gary Su suddenly changed the topic and said to Alexander Xu, "But, Mr. Xu, my daughter is indeed outstanding. She's capable and ambitious. You should consider it!"
Gary Su's smiling appearance was like that of a sly old fox.
Alexander Xu's mouth twitched unconsciously, and he was about to speak when suddenly a somewhat cold female voice came from the entrance, a voice that sounded somewhat familiar.
"Once again, you're arranging a blind date for me without my knowledge! You two are immature!"
"I, Aurora Su, have no worries about getting married!"
