Chapter 488 - Changes
Chapter 488 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God" begins with suspense: The men and women walked over, all brimming with enthusiasm.Yang Ruoxi responded with equal warmth.âHello,... Donât stop reading!
The men and women walked over, all brimming with enthusiasm.
Yang Ruoxi responded with equal warmth.
âHello, classmates!
I didnât expect you all to arrive so early; I thought I was early!â Yang Ruoxi said.
âHaha, this is actually quite early!
Itâs only a little past eleven, and weâre still more than half an hour away from the agreed time!â
Someone answered with a laugh.
When old classmates meet, naturally, thereâs a lot to catch up on.
After several rounds of exchanging warm greetings, those who had gathered to chat with Yang Ruoxi finally took notice of Chen Yang by her side.
âRuoxi, who is this by your side?
Your boyfriend?â
A female classmate looked at Yang Ruoxi with a meaningful gaze.
At the mention of this, Yang Ruoxi blushed slightly but still nodded: âYes, this is my boyfriend, Chen Yang!â
âHello!â
As soon as Yang Ruoxi introduced him, Chen Yang immediately greeted with a smile, adhering to the most basic of manners.
When those female classmates heard that he indeed was the boyfriend, they all smiled a bit and, after greeting Chen Yang, started gossiping.
Asking Yang Ruoxi about Chen Yangâs background.
âRuoxi, what does your boyfriend do for a living?
Heâs so tall; you really have good taste.â
âHow about his family background?
Does his family run a business or are they in politics?â
Upon hearing these female classmates inquiring about Chen Yangâs occupation, Yang Ruoxi felt a tinge of pride.
Just as she was about to say that Chen Yang was a doctor with a high level of medical expertise, the main door at the back suddenly opened, and someone else came in.
At the same time the door opened, a very disharmonious voice carried through the room.
âHahaha, what does this Chen Yang do?
Heâs nothing but a farmer!
His profession is that of an Itinerant Doctor who survives by swindling and deceiving!â
This disruptive voice was very loud and instantly captured the attention of everyone in the room; all heads turned in unison toward the door, curious to see who was speaking.
Yang Ruoxi and Chen Yang turned to look back as well.
When Yang Ruoxi and Chen Yang saw the person who had walked in, they couldnât help but frown.
âZhou Qianzheng!
What is he doing here?â
Chen Yang muttered in confusion, then lowered his head to look at Yang Ruoxi: âIsnât this your class reunion?
How come heâs here?â
Seeing Zhou Qianzheng there puzzled Yang Ruoxi even more than Chen Yang, as she was unclear about why he had come.
âI donât know either; this is indeed a class reunion, Iâm not sure how he got here,â Yang Ruoxi replied softly, frowning.
At that moment, a few men saw Zhou Qianzheng arrive and immediately greeted him with laughter and apparent delight.
They seemed to be very familiar with Zhou Qianzheng.
From the words they exchanged, it was clear to hear that Zhou Qianzheng was their invited guest.
âYour classmates are quite interesting, inviting someone unrelated to a class reunion,â Chen Yang remarked quietly with a laugh.
Yang Ruoxiâs expression soured and, without responding to Chen Yang, kept her gaze fixed on Zhou Qianzheng.
After Zhou Qianzheng exchanged a few pleasantries with those men, he turned to look over at Chen Yang.
The cheery expression on his face instantly turned into one of disdain; however, when he looked at Yang Ruoxi, his expression was much softer.
But Yang Ruoxi felt no warmth towards this softness, and even found it distasteful.
Zhou Qianzheng, however, seemed totally unconcerned and continued to approach with a beaming smile.
âHehe, I just heard everyone asking what Chen Yang does, didnât I?
This Chen Yang is nothing but an Itinerant Doctor, and moreover, a country bumpkin from the countryside,â Zhou Qianzheng said as he approached the area near Chen Yang, speaking to those curious female classmates.
âAh?
Really?
That canât be possibleâŚâ
âYeah, thatâs impossible, Young Master Zhou, you canât just spout nonsense.â
Many of the female students present knew Zhou Qianzheng and were aware of his powerful background.
They understood that someone like Zhou Qianzheng wouldnât slander someone in front of everyone without cause.
So what he said was most likely true, and instantly all faces showed incredulity.
Zhou Qianzheng was exceptionally proud as he looked at everyoneâs disbelief.
âOf course itâs true.
Would I slander someone over something like this?
If you donât believe me, ask him yourselves if heâs not a rural Itinerant Doctor,â Zhou Qianzheng said with a playful smile on his face.
âHahaha, we trust Young Master Zhouâs character; it looks like there canât be a mistake.â
No sooner had Zhou Qianzheng finished speaking than the few male students who had previously flattered him spoke out in agreement, indicating their belief in Zhou Qianzhengâs words.
At the same time, they glanced at Chen Yang with disdain.
As if they couldnât think less of Chen Yang.
To Chen Yang, Zhou Qianzhengâs behavior was quite normal.
But the behavior of these male students immediately made Chen Yang smell a hint of conspiracy.
Chen Yang had just met these few male students, and without exchanging a single word, they treated him with such an attitudeâit was blatantly obvious.
They had undoubtedly conspired with Zhou Qianzheng to deal with him.
Chen Yangâs eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Yang Ruoxi was fuming.
She immediately retorted fiercely!
âZhou Qianzheng!
What nonsense are you spouting?
Keep talking nonsense, and believe it or not, Iâll rip your mouth apart!â Yang Ruoxi said angrily.
Yang Ruoxi usually seemed mischievous and unpredictable, not appearing to be someone with a temper.
But when she did lose her temper, she was like a little tigress, very domineering.
This took Chen Yang by surprise.
âRuoxi, Iâm just telling the truth; how can that be nonsense?
This Chen Yang is indeed from the countryside and he is a doctor, isnât that right?â Zhou Qianzheng put on an expression of helplessness,
acting as though he had been greatly wronged.
âYou!â
Yang Ruoxi trembled with rage, but she didnât know how to counter Zhou Qianzhengâs words, since Chen Yang was indeed from the countryside and was a doctor as well.
âRuoxi, donât be so agitated,â Chen Yang said.
Seeing Yang Ruoxi almost beside herself with anger, Chen Yang gently patted her back a few times to soothe her.
He also stepped forward two paces, fixing his gaze on Zhou Qianzheng.
âHeh, itâs you again?
Last time you still owed me three rounds of imitating pig squeals, remember?â Chen Yang said calmly, with his eyes intently on Zhou Qianzheng.
Zhou Qianzheng, who had been full of self-satisfaction, thinking that he had insulted Chen Yang and caused others to have a bad impression of him, had been feeling very pleased with himself.
But when he heard what Chen Yang said, his face instantly darkened.
The incident at Li Hanâs place was a complete disgrace!
It was something he had been brooding over for a long time.
Now, Chen Yang was bringing it up in public, which made Zhou Qianzheng hate him to the bone even more.
However, at this moment, he also knew he had come to taunt Chen Yang and couldnât let Chen Yang turn the tables on him.
So, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and, with a cold laugh, steered the conversation elsewhere, âForgive my bluntness, but todayâs student gathering is ostensibly a social gathering.
In reality, itâs just an event to expand oneâs networks.
Everyone gathered here today is a person of substance.â
âAnd you, Chen Yang, a stinking country doctor, have the nerve to attend?
I think youâd better know your place and get out now, so you donât tarnish such a high-end venue,â Zhou Qianzheng said with very harsh words, barely concealing his hostility towards Chen Yang.
Yet all this was within Chen Yangâs expectations.
What Chen Yang didnât expect, though, was that those students who had just approached him with smiles on their faces immediately changed their expressions after hearing Zhou Qianzhengâs remarks.
They frowned and stepped back several paces with looks of disgust on their faces.
As if Chen Yang was emitting a foul stench and they couldnât avoid him fast enough.
