Chapter 433: Chapter 433: First Impressions

Xiao Yifei was extremely sincere when he spoke to Nangong, but as soon as he uttered those words, Nangong Yun forcefully slapped the sofa, her face showing a look of annoyance. She couldn’t understand why Xiao Yifei would say such a thing—it was clearly asking for trouble.

Indeed, just after Xiao Yifei spoke, not only did Nangong Tian start to frown, even Lin Huixi began to slightly furrow her brows at Xiao Yifei. She could accept that a young person might not have a great career, since they are still in their ascent, but she could never accept someone who was dishonest.

"Hmph! Putting on an act."

Nangong snorted disdainfully.

"But uncle, I never said I brought these gifts; these gifts were brought by Yunyun. I only carried them over."

Xiao Yifei said with a faint smile to Nangong, "But that doesn’t mean I’ve come empty-handed. I asked Yunyun, and she said that while material possessions do not particularly please you and your wife, you both have a distinct fondness for medicine. So this time, I have brought a medical research paper for you."

Xiao Yifei was genuinely earnest as he spoke to Nangong and Lin Huixi.

Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Lin Huixi’s initially furrowed brows relaxed slightly. She looked at Xiao Yifei with a trace of puzzlement.

"You? A medical research paper?"

Nangong seemed to look down on Xiao Yifei’s capabilities, pursing his lips dismissively.

"If I remember correctly, the last time Yunyun told us you are currently a teacher at Yanjing Medical University and that you went there directly after being fired from the Yanjing People’s Hospital. And if, according to Yunyun, although you are now a teacher at Yanjing Medical University, you have been a certified doctor for no more than three years, right?"

Nangong squinted his eyes at Xiao Yifei. His commanding presence, honed from long years in a high position, naturally exuded a fearsome aura as he intently looked at Xiao Yifei and continued, "A guy who became a full-time doctor not long ago and got fired miserably by the hospital, only to end up teaching at a college, tells me you’ve brought what medical research paper this time to meet us?"

"Dad! It’s not like that!"

Nangong Yun, upon hearing Nangong’s words, spoke hastily. In fact, some of the misunderstanding Nangong had about Xiao Yifei was related to her, because when she had briefly described Xiao Yifei’s career to her family, she had only discussed Xiao Yifei’s general job situation. Her intention had been to surprise her family with Xiao Yifei’s achievements later, but instead, it had turned into a misunderstanding.

Although Nangong was in such a position and had heard about some recent events in the medical community, he couldn’t piece together the specifics of what had happened. Therefore, aside from what Yunyun had described about Xiao Yifei, Nangong knew nothing else.

"Alright, Yunyun, don’t talk about anything else. With things how they are, do you think this slick, smooth-talking guy has any capability? Bringing me a medical research paper? Yunyun, you haven’t been in other relationships, it’s easy to be deceived. Are you truly sure he isn’t just getting close to you because of our family’s power?"

Nangong waved his hand dismissively at Nangong Yun and Lin Huixi, and after saying this, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Yifei with disdain.

"Initially, just hearing about the situation you described, I already had no good impression of this boy I’d never met. You said to bring him home for a look, so I agreed to have a look. But now, after seeing him, he’s just as I expected: slick and untrustworthy!"

Nangong glanced at Xiao Yifei, then addressed Nangong Yun.

"Child’s father, how can you say that? No matter what, today is this child’s first time visiting us. Don’t you trust me, or do you not trust Yunyun? Yunyun’s standards are so high; how could she possibly fancy someone with ulterior motives? Are you saying Yunyun is foolish?"

At that moment, Lin Huixi stepped forward trying to smooth things over, attempting to alleviate the awkwardness in the room.

Xiao Yifei was stunned by the situation that had unfolded before him. Who could have expected that on his first visit, Nangong would show him such an unwelcoming demeanor right from their first meeting?

"Dad, can’t you just listen to me?"

Nangong Yun stomped her feet anxiously, eager to speak, but the authoritative Nangong continuously denied her the chance.

"Yunyun isn’t foolish in other matters, but in this case, she might be. We all know, she’s been proud since she was young and has never been in love before. This time, I’m genuinely worried that she has been deceived by that slick young man!"

Nangong waved off Nangong Yun, "Yunyun, no use explaining. This young man has been a formal doctor for less than three years and dares to say that the gift he brought for his first visit is a medical paper—what qualifications does he have? He’s just trying to show off, hoping we’ll take him seriously. He really thinks I can’t see through his little schemes? Yunyun, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but you’re not someone who easily warms up to others. Once you do, you can mistreat them as your own, and that’s not a correct mindset!"

Nangong sighed and shook his head at Nangong Yun. Nangong’s substantial achievements could actually be linked to his personality. He was stubborn and inclined to overthink things, which while helpful in scientific research, wasn’t beneficial in this situation.

He was now utterly convinced that Xiao Yifei approached Nangong Yun with an ulterior motive.

This demeaning view of Xiao Yifei by Nangong made her eyes widen in anger. She knew her father’s temperament, but the words he had just spoken enraged her. Nangong had completely dismissed everything she said about Xiao Yifei, not even considering Xiao Yifei’s response before hastily judging him, which could not possibly make Nangong Yun happy.

Seeing Nangong’s reaction, Lin Huixi let out a deep sigh. Their family knew Nangong well; he was very domineering, and once he was fixated on an idea, it was extremely hard to change his mind. Now that he believed Xiao Yifei was after Yunyun’s background, it might be really hard to alter his point of view.

"Dad! When Xiao Yifei and I were together, he didn’t even know who you were. I never told him about you either. Today is the first time he’s meeting you!"

Nangong Yun spoke to Nangong, her voice filled with frustration.

"Hmph! He didn’t know?"

Nangong snorted coldly, "That sounds nice, but if he didn’t know who I was, how could he say he prepared a medical paper for our first meeting? Yunyun, you might not have told him, but how do you know he hasn’t researched our family?"

It was clear that Nangong had made up his mind, highly dissatisfied with Xiao Yifei.

He turned his head disdainfully after casting a glance at Xiao Yifei, and then turned back to Nangong Yun, "Yunyun, it just so happens that a son of an old friend of mine returned to the country today. He’s not only handsome but genuinely talented! I told him to come over. You haven’t had a comparison to know what excellence is. Once you meet a truly outstanding young man, you definitely won’t fancy the young man you brought home today."

After finishing his statement with a smug look, Nangong turned away, as if he was unwilling to spare another glance at Xiao Yifei.
