Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Enemies on a Narrow Road
Jiang Tong was secretly delighted to hear Long Chen’s words, yet she couldn’t help but have too many thoughts.
Could it be that Long Chen is flirting with her?
Does he have other intentions towards her?
Or is it just a casual remark from Long Chen, with no hidden aning?
Jiang Tong’s thoughts ran wild, and the more she thought about it, the redder her cheeks beca.
Long Chen was unaware of Jiang Tong’s thoughts and laughed, “Jiang Tong, then you and Tang Ying stay here, I’ll head back first.”
“Okay… okay, Brother Long, you can rest assured.”
Jiang Tong said softly.
“Mm, call
if there’s anything. I think my number is over there on the counter.”
“Mm-hmm, I know.”
“I’m off.”
Long Chen waved his hand and left the Dragon dical Hall.
When he was about to reach Zhao Churan’s place, Long Chen looked at the sky and thought that Zhao Churan probably hadn’t co ho yet, so he took a turn and entered the vegetable market, buying lots of food.
For Long Chen, today was a day worth commorating, like a rebirth, and he thought it should be celebrated.
But after buying the groceries and returning to Zhao Churan’s doorstep, Long Chen realized he didn’t know the door code.
Long Chen thought for a while and called Zhao Churan.
“When will you be ho?”
Long Chen asked.
“It’ll be a while, why?”
“Nothing special, then I’ll just take a stroll around and wait until you get off work,” Long Chen said, smiling.
“The code is three ones and three eights,” Zhao Churan replied with a light laugh.
Long Chen paused for a mont, then said, “Today you don’t need to buy groceries, I’ll treat you to sothing delicious.”
“Alright, then I’ll get busy,” she replied.
After hanging up, Long Chen went inside with the groceries and started to get busy.
When Zhao Churan got ho from work, Long Chen had just served the last dish on the table.
Zhao Churan saw a table full of dishes and looked very surprised.
“Did… did you make all these?”
“Mm, I’m not sure about the taste, give it a try,” Long Chen said with a smile.
“Few n can do these things, you…”
“When I was with the Li Family, I was usually the one cooking,” Long Chen said.
“Then Li Yuechan is really wasting a talent; a man as good as you is hard to find even with a lantern.”
Zhao Churan picked up her chopsticks and started eating with Long Chen.
After tasting everything, Zhao Churan was surprised again.
The dishes Long Chen cooked were on par with those from big restaurants.
“How is it?” Long Chen asked.
“It’s delicious, you know so much, I feel sowhat ashad in front of you, a woman,” Zhao Churan said with a wry smile.
“What are you talking about?” said Long Chen. “As long as you like it, I’ll cook for you when I have ti.”
“You’re really nice.”
Zhao Churan smiled sweetly.
“By the way, Churan, we brought in about five million today; after dinner, I’ll transfer all the money to you for you to manage,” Long Chen said.
“How can that be?” Zhao Churan hurriedly replied. “I can’t manage that; I was thinking of letting you handle my money.”
“The dical hall was your investnt to start with; if…”
“If what? It’s just the beginning, what’s the rush? When you really start making big money later, then give
more. People like
are in for the long investnt, hmph, don’t think you can dismiss
with just a few million.”
Zhao Churan gave Long Chen a glare.
Long Chen smiled and didn’t insist on giving the money to Zhao Churan any longer.
After dinner, they cleaned up the dishes together and sat on the sofa to watch TV.
Zhao Churan sneaked a few glances at Long Chen and hesitated to speak.
“What’s the matter?”
Long Chen looked at Zhao Churan, “Just say what you want to say.”
“Long Chen, how does that saying go? After a full belly, one thinks of what? Don’t you have any thoughts?”
Zhao Churan blinked her beautiful eyes.
“Is it okay?”
“I’m your girlfriend, you tell
if it’s okay? Hehe, I’m going to take a shower.”
…
The night grew deeper, and everyone at the Li Family’s villa had yet to rest.
Li Yuechan sat on the sofa, watching her parents, Han Xiao and his wife, and Han Jieke laughing and talking. She felt ill at ease.
Without Long Chen, Li Yuechan felt as if sothing very important was missing, leaving her feeling empty and discontent with everything around her.
“Yuechan, what are you daydreaming about? Just now your aunt said that a dical hall that opened during the day had a Divine Doctor who was extrely skilled. He cured illnesses for several major figures in Seven Star City today, and she wants to go tomorrow to see if he can cure her underlying condition. You should accompany your aunt tomorrow,” Han Min tugged at Li Yuechan.
“I don’t have ti,” Li Yuechan replied imdiately. “I have important things to do tomorrow.”
“No problem, Yuechan, you go ahead and take care of your things. Tomorrow your uncle and Jack can accompany ,” Gao Jinlan said with a smile.
“That Divine Doctor I heard only treats a few people a day; we have to go early tomorrow in hopes he can truly eliminate this cancer,” Han Xiao sighed.
“As long as he can treat it, we’re not short on money,” Gao Jinlan said.
“That’s true,” Han Xiao said with a slight smile.
…
The next day, Long Chen got out of bed, had breakfast with Zhao Churan, and Zhao Churan drove Long Chen to Dragon dical Hall.
Long Chen turned around and subconsciously said thank you.
Zhao Churan was stunned for a mont, then glared at Long Chen fiercely, “Saying thank you to , do you not consider
your girlfriend?”
“Churan, I just haven’t adapted to this role yet,” Long Chen said with a wry smile.
Having just divorced Li Yuechan, Long Chen truly wasn’t used to it yet.
“You big dummy, I won’t drive you to work anymore. Find
at my company after work, I’ll take you to see cars, go on now.”
Zhao Churan waved her hand and drove off.
Long Chen entered the dical hall. After a night’s rest, his body’s mysterious energy had fully recovered.
Jiang Tong and Tang Ying saw Long Chen co in and both approached him.
“Long Ge, how many people are we treating today?”
Jiang Tong asked in a low voice.
“Let’s go with three, just call them over in the order they’re listed,” Long Chen replied.
“Okay,” Jiang Tong nodded.
“I’ll make the calls.”
Tang Ying imdiately went to find the list.
In less than half an hour, three elderly patients almost simultaneously arrived at Dragon dical Hall at a surprisingly fast pace.
Upon seeing Long Chen, the three elders, all of respectable standing in Seven Star City, hurriedly paid their respects.
“Please, there’s no need for formalities, all of you have a seat,” Long Chen said.
After that, Long Chen treated each of the three in turn.
The whole process was orderly and without incident; Long Chen managed to cure the ailnts of all three.
The three who were healed held Long Chen’s dical skills in the highest regard and all presented him with a hefty sum as a token of their gratitude.
Afterward, two of the old n left, but one stayed behind.
This elderly man was Wu Dongyuan, who owned over a dozen hotels and five bath centers.
He smiled at Long Chen and said, “Divine Doctor, I spoke of you with a friend yesterday, and he holds the utmost reverence for your dical skills. Is it possible for you to et her today?”
“Since it’s Mr. Wu’s referral, of course, I can,” Long Chen replied.
“Thank you for giving an old man face, they’re waiting outside, I’ll call them in,” Wu Dongyuan said.
Long Chen nodded, “All right.”
Wu Dongyuan imdiately made a call to have people co in.
Monts later, Long Chen saw several familiar faces walking in.
It was none other than Han Xiao, Gao Jinlan, and their son Han Jieke.
This family of three walked into the dical hall and upon seeing Long Chen, they all looked a bit astonished.
Then, Gao Jinlan said with a sarcastic tone, “Surely so people here haven’t contracted so bizarre disease and co seeking treatnt? I’ve heard the fees of this dical hall are not low—can you afford the treatnt?”
“Are you talking about ?”
Long Chen replied with a smile that was not quite a smile.
“Who else would I be talking about? Talk about a small world,” Gao Jinlan sneered.
Long Chen did not respond to Gao Jinlan any further. At this mont, he also understood that the friend Wu Dongyuan ntioned was the Gao family.
Hearing this brief exchange, Wu Dongyuan began to feel that things were turning sour.
“Divine Doctor, do… do you know them?” Wu Dongyuan asked cautiously.
“It’s more than just knowing. I might be the butt of your jokes, Mr. Wu, but I just divorced my wife the day before yesterday because of this family of three,” Long Chen said with a laugh.
Wu Dongyuan visibly shivered, his complexion changing.
“Mr. Wu, you call him ‘Divine Doctor’? The Divine Doctor you’re talking about is him?” Han Xiao urgently asked.
“Yes, it’s him,” Wu Dongyuan gritted his teeth, “Little Han, do you have so kind of grudge against him?”
“Mr. Wu, if it’s him, then sorry, but we really don’t believe he is so kind of Divine Doctor. He’s nothing but a waste in a failed marriage; what dical skills could he possibly have? Mr. Wu, I’d also advise you not to be deceived by him,” Gao Jinlan spoke gravely.
Slap.
Gao Jinlan had barely finished speaking when Wu Dongyuan’s hand slapped across her face, exclaiming firmly, “Insolence!”
Struck by the slap, Gao Jinlan was completely stunned.
Han Xiao and Han Jieke were also taken aback, but oddly neither of the pair dared to beco angry. Instead, they were filled with trepidation.
“Mr. Wu… What is the aning of this?”
Han Xiao asked cautiously.
Wu Dongyuan’s face was stern as he angrily said, “The Divine Doctor is my savior; he just cured a chronic illness I had. You dare insult him, do you believe I can make the Han Family disappear from Seven Star City?”
“Mr. Wu, was your illness really… really cured by him?” At this point, Gao Jinlan was coming to her senses from the slap.
“Nonsense, I, Wu Dongyuan, have lived for seventy years and seen all kinds of people, but Divine Doctor Long Chen’s skills are a once-in-a-lifeti sight for
to behold and admire. If you dare look down on the Divine Doctor, you are looking down on .”
“Mr. Wu, that wasn’t my intention, I’m truly sorry,” Gao Jinlan apologized while bowing her head.
“What’s the use in apologizing to ? You should be apologizing to the Divine Doctor. To think you ca here for treatnt—with that attitude, you might as well go ho and wait for death,” Wu Dongyuan said without any hint of politeness.
Gao Jinlan’s face paled, and she hurriedly turned to Long Chen, “Long Chen, I was wrong, I apologize, will it do if I kowtow to you? I’ll kowtow.”
As she spoke, Gao Jinlan got on her knees and knocked her head on the floor three tis.
Long Chen looked down at Gao Jinlan, speaking indifferently, “I rember when we first t, I told you that you had lymphoma. To most people, that might seem like a terminal disease, but to , it’s not incurable.”
Hearing this, Gao Jinlan burst with joy, “Long Chen, as long as you can cure , any amount of money is fine—whether it’s one million or five million, I can pay it.”
“When you ca in, didn’t you say we ran into each other unfortunately? Do you think I would save you?” Long Chen sneered with a cold laugh.
