Master Xiao rushed to Ye Chen and extended his calloused old hand to him: "Young friend Ye, welcome, welcome to the Xiao family!"

Ye Chen was both amused and exasperated: "Master Xiao, I came to your Xiao family for medical treatment, you didn't know that, did you?"

Ye Chen felt a little strange being treated so warmly when he came to see the doctor, but he still reached out and shook hands with the old man. For no other reason than the fact that the Cloud Top Villa in Jinxiu Pavilion had already sealed his friendship with the Xiao family.

"Uh...yes, yes, I know!"

Master Xiao also seemed a little embarrassed. It was because he had been too excited! After all, if it weren't for this young friend Ye, he would have already found a bed in the underworld. Just as he was about to explain to young friend Ye, a voice suddenly came from inside the hall: "Grandpa Xiao, is this the miracle doctor you were talking about?"

The voice was clear and sharp, belonging to a woman. Ye Chen immediately glanced over and saw a cold and aloof woman in her thirties, quite striking in appearance—a classic example of beauty and arrogance that would make any man want to conquer her. Besides her, Ye Chen also noticed an old man nearby, with white hair at the temples, exuding an air of authority, clearly someone who had long held a position of power. His gaze towards Ye Chen seemed somewhat unfriendly.

Even the proud and beautiful woman, with just a question, had already fully revealed her hostility.

"Oh right, right, he is my young friend Ye, the divine doctor Ye!"

Master Xiao realized what was happening and quickly introduced Ye Chen to the two of them. Xiao Hongyan composed herself and followed him.

"Grandpa Xiao, are you kidding me? Could he be a miracle doctor?"

The proud and beautiful woman glanced coldly at Ye Chen, her disdain unwavering. To dream of becoming a divine doctor at such a young age was definitely the work of some kind of charlatan. And a very high level at that, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fool the Xiao family! But she still thought the Xiao family was incredibly foolish to be deceived by such a charlatan! The Xiao family had truly declined in recent years; not only was their business failing, but their judgment of character had also deteriorated to this extent!

The proud and beautiful woman was certain that Ye Chen was a charlatan, and she was also furious at the Xiao family's incompetence. Even the elderly patient next to her gave the Xiao family a disgruntled look. After waiting so long, this was the kind of person they brought? He had expected at least a renowned doctor from one of Pengcheng's top pharmacies, but he truly hadn't expected a mere kid who hadn't even grown up yet. What a waste of his time! He immediately said to the proud and beautiful woman beside him, "Mingyue, let's just call Doctor Leng directly!"

He looked very unwell.

"It's Grandpa!"

Shangguan Mingyue immediately took out her phone and made a call, giving the Xiao family a cold glance before doing so. The faces of Master Xiao and Xiao Hongyan instantly turned ugly. They were even more surprised that the other party could distrust Ye Chen so much, rejecting him before even exchanging a few words with him.

Ye Chen almost laughed when he saw this. What if his senior sister couldn't cure him and then asked him for help? Whose face would be slapped in the end? It didn't matter if they were slapped in the face, but Ye Chen didn't want to slap his senior sister in the face. So, without waiting for the Xiao family grandfather and grandson to speak, he immediately reached out to stop them: "Hey, beautiful lady, don't make the call yet."

"Get your dirty hands off me!"

When Shangguan Mingyue saw Ye Chen's hand touch her, she immediately flung it away, glaring at him with disgust, and even uttered insults: "Hands like yours, those of a swindler, are only fit to beg for food with a broken bowl!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongyan was displeased. Ye Chen's hand had just touched her; was she some kind of broken bowl? She immediately spoke up to defend Ye Chen: "Sister Mingyue, please don't speak of Doctor Ye like that!"

Shangguan Mingyue looked at her with some surprise, seemingly not expecting the Xiao family to be so stubborn. While making a phone call, she slowly coaxed Xiao Hongyan: "Sister Hongyan, don't be fooled. It's good that my grandfather and I are here today. We can help your Xiao family get rid of such swindlers and prevent any further loss of property... Hey, hello Dr. Leng, this is Shangguan Mingyue. Yes, yes, my grandfather is in poor health. Could you please come and take a look? We are currently in Pengcheng, at the Xiao family's residence. Thank you for your help!"

Just as she was about to give him a pep talk, the call connected. Shangguan Mingyue quickly explained the situation, then hung up and put away her phone, glaring sharply at Ye Chen: "You brat, are you going to leave on your own, or do you want us to use some tricks?"

Ye Chen sighed inwardly. It seemed he was about to embarrass his senior sister. He glanced at the old man; the patient was very evil and definitely not someone his senior sister could cure.

"What are you standing there for? I'm asking you a question. Do you think you're invincible just because the Xiao family is backing you up? Do you want to find out what kind of status our Shangguan family has?"

"What do you mean by 'high-class'? Is your Shangguan family in the coffee business? You own a coffee shop?"

Ye Chen felt a bit resentful because the other party had called his senior sister over, so he immediately started arguing with the woman.

"What did you say? How dare you humiliate our Shangguan family like this... Let me tell you, our Shangguan family is the richest family in Guangdong Province!"

Unable to contain herself any longer, Shangguan Mingyue spoke out. Her family, the Shangguan clan, had always been respected wherever they went. As the richest family in Guangdong Province, they ranked high among the richest families in the entire country and were frequently received with great courtesy by high-ranking officials. She never imagined that they would be humiliated by a mere street urchin! Shangguan Mingyue's anger flared fiercely…

Her grandfather, Shangguan Haokun, the head of the entire Shangguan family and the founder of the number one conglomerate in Guangdong Province, was furious! This was the first time the Shangguan family had been humiliated! And the one who humiliated them was a petty swindler! But he didn't dare to get too angry, because he was already seriously ill, and he was afraid that if he got any angrier, he would die!

Shangguan Mingyue immediately noticed that her grandfather was acting strangely, his body was trembling, and she quickly patted his chest gently: "Grandpa, don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll handle this person, please don't get angry again!" After saying that, she glared fiercely at Ye Chen: "Boy, did you see that? If you make my grandfather sick, you won't see the sun tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, if you really die from anger, I promise I'll save you."

Ye Chen said casually.

"What! What are you saying?!"

Shangguan Mingyue was furious, and at that moment, Shangguan Haokun seemed to be really angry. His body twitched, his eyes widened, and he closed them and passed out!

"grandfather!"

Shangguan Mingyue exclaimed excitedly and helped the unconscious old man up. Both Master Xiao and Xiao Hongyan stared wide-eyed at Ye Chen, thinking to themselves, "His 'qigong' is amazing!"

Ye Chen was completely dumbfounded. He never imagined the old man had such a weak heart, actually dying from anger! And all he'd said was just one sentence! But then he thought back to what he'd just said... well, it was pretty infuriating...

Especially considering that the old man was already in critical condition with a very unstable heartbeat, it's normal that my words could make him glare at me so angrily.
