Chapter 288 - Self-righteousness
Chapter 288 of "The Strongest Dandy in the City" opens with suspenseful action: âLinlin, itâs been so long since Iâve seen you, and youâve become even more dazzling!Do... Keep going!
âLinlin, itâs been so long since Iâve seen you, and youâve become even more dazzling!Do you have a partner yet?
Would you like Grandpa Ji to introduce you to someone?
I guarantee youâll be satisfied,â Ji Weiguo said, completely ignoring Ye Chenfeng and instead joking with Zou Linlin.
Zou Zedong detected a hint of displeasure in Ji Weiguoâs smile.
He immediately realized what was bothering his friendâit had to be that Ji Weiguo saw Ye Chenfengâs youthfulness as a basis for prejudice.
He had forgotten about that until now.
After inviting Ye Chenfeng into the living room, Zou Zedong hurriedly introduced him, âChenfeng, this is my old friend Ji Weiguo, a renowned medical authority internationally.
Weiguo, this is the medical expert I mentioned before, Ye Chenfeng.
Donât be fooled by his youth; he is genuinely skilled.
When it comes to medical skills, if Chenfeng claims to be second, I doubt anyone would dare say they are first.â
When introducing him, Zou Zedong specifically emphasized Ye Chenfengâs exceptional medical expertise.
He wasnât keen on seeing Ji Weiguo offend Ye Chenfengânot only because of Chenfengâs miraculous methods but also because, as a legitimate heir of the Ye family from Capital City, Chenfeng was not someone to take lightly.
He feared Ji Weiguo might judge people superficially.
Ji Weiguo indeed felt like blowing up then and there, but he maintained a strained smile on his face for the sake of his old friend Zou Zedong.
He said unnaturally, âZedong just mentioned he was introducing me to a medical expert!
I didnât expect such a young fellowâit really is the newer waves that push the old ones forward!â
Though Ji Weiguoâs words were polite, the cool detachment and scorn in his tone made clear his attitude towards Ye Chenfeng.
Initially, Ye Chenfeng had accepted the dinner invitation at the Zou home out of courtesy to Zou Zedong, but now it was clear this elder named Ji Weiguo was looking down on him!
Yet, there was no need for Chenfeng to stoop to Ji Weiguoâs level.
With equal indifference, he replied, âMr.
Ji overpraises me, I am merely a medical novice just starting out.â
Seeing the humility in Ye Chenfengâs response, Ji Weiguoâs expression softened somewhat, and he asked with a smile, âIf I may be so bold, which hospital in Tianhai do you work for?
Which medical university did you graduate from?
Having someone of your talent is a boon for the citizens of Huaxia Country!â
On the surface, Ji Weiguo engaged in courteous conversation with Ye Chenfeng, but in reality, he was fishing for details on Chenfengâs background to unmask him.
The idea that this young man before him was a medical expert was as absurd to Ji Weiguo as the existence of ghosts!
âI didnât graduate from a medical university, and I havenât even finished collegeâIâm currently unemployed,â Ye Chenfeng said nonchalantly.
This was, indeed, the truth; Ye Chenfeng had not graduated from any medical university and didnât have a proper job at the moment.
Ye Chenfengâs candid confession took Ji Weiguo aback.
In such a setting, if someone else hadnât graduated from a medical university, they likely wouldâve spun some lie.
Yet here was Chenfeng, speaking so boldly and proudly, as if not having completed college and being unemployed was something to be proud of.
Seeing Ji Weiguo targeting Ye Chenfeng, Zou Zedong couldnât help but smile wryly inwardly.
Had he known it would come to this, he wouldnât have introduced Ji Weiguo to Chenfeng at all.
Who knew what further excesses Ji might say or do?
Zou Zedong quickly tried to smooth things over with a laugh, âWeiguo, Chenfeng likes to joke around, you shouldnât take him literally.
His medical skills are truly remarkable.
He can even treat cancer easily without surgery or chemotherapy.â
Ji Weiguo, hearing Zou Zedongâs increasingly outrageous claims, was incredulous.
No surgery?
No chemotherapy?
And still cure cancer?
It seemed like utter nonsense to him.
He wondered what enchantment Ye Chenfeng had cast on Zou Zedong to make him believe so firmly.
âOh?
There are magical medical skills like that in the world?
I definitely must witness that someday,â Ji Weiguo said dismissively, which caused Zou Zedong to constantly cast apologetic glances at Ye Chenfeng. Follow current novels on Nová´lFÉŞre.ná´t
Ye Chenfeng took a few good looks at Ji Weiguo, sensing something off about the older manâs complexion.
Driven by curiosity, he released his Eighth Level Soul Force, directing it into Jiâs body for a brief investigation.
Ye Chenfeng quickly realized that this so-called medical authority was actually suffering from advanced stomach cancer, and the man probably didnât even know about his own condition!
âYouâve got cancer, itâs best that you go to the hospital to get checked out, otherwise you donât have many days left to live.â
Since it was fate that they met amidst the sea of people, Ye Chenfeng felt obliged to warn Ji Weiguo.
As for whether Ji Weiguo was willing to believe him, that was none of Ye Chenfengâs concern.
Whoosh!
Ji Weiguoâs face changed in an instant.
He had taken very good care of his body, not having had even a cold or a fever for three or four years.
Because he hadnât fallen ill for several years, Ji Weiguo hadnât undergone any health check-ups.
This led to the paradox that such a renowned medical authority in the international community had no clue he had developed malignant gastric cancer!
âYoung man, arenât you going too far?
Donât I know my own body?
Donât think just because Zedong said you can cure cancer that you really are some kind of cancer specialist.
I see you as nothing but a thorough scam artist.
I truly donât understand how youâve managed to convince Zedong so completely?â Ji Weiguo spoke with an ugly expression.
Being a good person and speaking a few truths is damned hard these days!
Ye Chenfeng remained indifferent to Ji Weiguoâs words and casually said, âIf you donât believe it, then pretend I never said anything.â
âStop your charlatanry here.
People like you are the scum of the medical community.
You have no real abilities, just talk big.
Even if youâre going to bluff, you should wait until youâre older!
Itâs strange to think such a young man could be a medical expert!â Ji Weiguo said, his face reddening with anger.
âWeiguo, youâve gone too far.
Chenfeng is a guest at the Zouâs today.
Arenât you making it impossible for me to save face?â Zou Zedongâs face instantly hardened upon seeing Ji Weiguoâs aggressive approach, convinced that someone of Ye Chenfengâs stature could not be insulted by others.
âZedong, come to your senses!
I think youâve been hoodwinked by this kid.â Seeing his old friend standing on the opposite side, Ji Weiguoâs facial expression was as ugly as it could get.
Seeing Ji Weiguo insult Ye Chenfeng infuriated Zou Linlin, who was standing by.
She had witnessed Ye Chenfengâs medical skills firsthand.
Ji Weiguo, on the other hand, had simply seen Ye Chenfeng as too young and thus negated everything about him.
Wasnât such a person too focused on appearances?
Must a master of medical skills always be a gray-haired old man?
âGrandpa Ji, I think youâd better go to the hospital for a check-up.
Chenfeng probably isnât speaking nonsense,â Zou Linlin said sharply.
âIt seems you and your grandfather have both been poisoned.
Donât I know my own body?
Me, get cancer?
If I had cancer, Iâd jump into the Huangpu River immediately.â Ji Weiguo became even more agitated upon seeing Zou Linlin also believing what Ye Chenfeng had said.
It was only after Zou Linlinâs reminder that Zou Zedong came to his senses, his admiration for Ye Chenfengâs unmatched medical skills rekindled.
When Ye Chenfeng first visited the Zou family, he had only glanced at his son Zou Wenhai to diagnose his ailment.
From this, it seems that Ji Weiguo might really have cancer after all!
âWeiguo, Linlin is absolutely right.
You should take the time to get a health check-up at the hospital.
Or should I arrange it for you right now?â Zou Zedong, after all, was an old friend of Ji Weiguo for many years, and naturally, he didnât want to see anything bad happen to him.
âZedong, this young fellow hasnât even checked me out, and he knows Iâve got cancer?
He hasnât even touched my body; is he some kind of deity from the movies?â Ji Weiguo glared furiously at Ye Chenfeng.
âI will pursue this matter to the end.
I will not allow such scammers to exist in Huaxia Country,â said Ji Weiguo, no longer concerned about sparing Zou Zedongâs feelings.
He believed that when the truth comes out, Zou Zedong will thank him.
