Chapter 207: 0205 mocks

"So, this Ye Qiu has real talents and skills, even conquering cancer. Why didn’t I notice such a young man before?"

After listening to Vice President Wang’s description, the elder gained a better understanding of Ye Qiu. Just now, Vice President Wang had recounted how Ye Qiu successfully treated Chu’s mother and Elder Shangguan’s cancer, which made the old Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners accompanying the elder widen their eyes in surprise.

Vice President Wang’s teacher, Wu Youmin, came from eight generations of doctors, with over a hundred years of medical heritage. By the time it reached Wu Youmin, he was the ninth generation. Wu Youmin learned TCM from his father and made a name for himself in Capital City when he was forty years old, becoming a well-known TCM scholar. Later, he devoted himself to diligent study, achieving profound knowledge in TCM and becoming a respected master, rightfully earning the title of Divine Doctor.

Vice President Wang was one of Wu Youmin’s many students, having studied TCM under him for several years. Their teacher-student bond was deep.

"Teacher, Ye Qiu may very well be a follower of the legendary Hua Tuo. His acupuncture is miraculous, capable of curing complex and various diseases," Vice President Wang shared his opinion.

Upon hearing his student’s high praise for Ye Qiu, Wu Youmin’s initial impression of Ye Qiu changed considerably. His student might not be as skilled in TCM as he was, but his judgement was sound; the fact that he was impressed by Ye Qiu showed that Ye Qiu must be quite skilled. This made Wu Youmin even more eager to meet Ye Qiu.

"Whether he’s a disciple of Hua Tuo’s or not can’t be determined just by his acupuncture, but what I’m most curious about is just how advanced his TCM skills are," Wu Youmin said slowly.

"I wonder where you heard about this Ye Qiu, Teacher? Why have you suddenly taken an interest in him?" Vice President Wang asked curiously.

"Haha, that’s none of your concern. I came to see for myself if a true talent in TCM has indeed emerged in our great Huaxia. If he truly can cure various complex diseases, it would be a blessing for our Huaxia," Wu Youmin replied.

Speaking of this, Vice President Wang sighed and said, "Ye Qiu is different from ordinary people. He doesn’t pursue wealth and fame much. I once invited him to be the head of the TCM department in our hospital, but unfortunately, he did not agree."

Hearing this, Wu Youmin was somewhat surprised, "You personally invited him and still failed?"

Vice President Wang nodded.

"In that case, I want to meet this person even more," Wu Youmin clicked his tongue and showed a glint of interest in his eyes. To possess great TCM knowledge and not be tempted by fame and fortune—has Huaxia truly seen the emergence of such a rare talent?

...

Shopping was something Ye Qiu liked the least. He didn’t understand why women were so enthusiastic about it, completely failing to grasp the idea.

Early this morning, Shangguan Mingyue dragged Ye Qiu to a shopping mall, looking as if he hadn’t even washed his face, dressed casually, following by Shangguan Mingyue’s side.

One advantage of shopping with a beauty was that there was never a shortage of admiring glances, especially for someone like Shangguan Mingyue, who was even more attractive than a celebrity and was a magnet for attention.

As passersby’s gazes fell upon Shangguan Mingyue, they looked as if they couldn’t get enough of her. Many men with girlfriends would get pinched hard by their women, whose souls seemed almost lured away, and then be dragged away by their jealous partners.

As for Ye Qiu, he was ignored by most. If it weren’t for Shangguan Mingyue occasionally turning back to say a few words to him, people’s eyes would hardly fall upon him, and some would even mutter under their breath that a fresh flower was stuck in cow dung.

Having experienced such gazes before, Ye Qiu was well aware of them. He too would secretly utter the same phrase when he saw a beautiful woman with an unattractive man. However, now that he was the one involved, Ye Qiu felt annoyed.

You people just can’t appreciate the grapes and call them sour! Besides, he, Ye Qiu, wasn’t ugly at all!

Ignoring the envious and jealous looks from other men, Ye Qiu actually started to enjoy it. Although following a beautiful woman around might attract resentment, the feeling could also be pleasant when looked at from another perspective, although it went against his intention to keep a low profile.

"Ye Qiu, do you think there’s a good gift we could choose?" Shangguan Mingyue was in a dilemma. Shangguan Hong’s birthday was coming up in a few days, and she wanted to give him a birthday present.

Ye Qiu knew even less about giving gifts to women and found it hard to offer Shangguan Mingyue any good advice.

They walked around the mall for a long while until they passed by a diamond ring store, where Shangguan Mingyue stopped.

Shangguan Mingyue didn’t even bother to discuss, she simply walked in, and Ye Qiu had no choice but to follow behind.

He realized that women are often incredibly fond of shiny things.

"Miss, hello, are you here to choose an engagement ring?" A female clerk standing at the counter couldn’t help but be a little starstruck by Shangguan Mingyue’s beautiful appearance, completely captivated by her beauty, especially her aura which clearly didn’t seem like that of an ordinary woman, so she was very polite in her approach.

Shangguan Mingyue’s gaze fell on the diamond rings displayed in the counter, and the clerk took out the latest model, placing it before Shangguan Mingyue.

"This ring is designed by the famous French master Jesfield, with pure color, top clarity, no angle left unconsidered, and uses the most advanced cutting method to highlight the nobility and elegance of its owner. It suits your temperament very well," the clerk explained carefully.

Shangguan Mingyue held it in her hand, saying nothing, and kept trying it on repeatedly.

Ye Qiu, who was at the entrance, hadn’t actually gone inside, and saw Shangguan Mingyue selecting rings, thinking to himself, "Could she be wanting to get married? Or is it for Shangguan Hong?"

Ye Qiu’s gaze rested on Shangguan Mingyue’s beautiful profile when, at that moment, two people approached him.

"Chu Yao, this person is your friend, isn’t he?"

Chu Yao, who had been looking elsewhere, turned her attention promptly upon hearing Wang Zifeng’s words.

Ye Qiu!

Chu Yao hadn’t expected to encounter Ye Qiu here.

"What, are you not going to go up and say hello?" Wang Zifeng spoke indifferently. He had long noticed Ye Qiu’s figure and recognized him immediately.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s attire, he revealed a trace of disdain. He had felt before that this young man had a special relationship with Chu Yao, and that made him jealous. Meeting him now, he was determined to size up this fellow. However, judging by Ye Qiu’s less than two hundred yuan appearance, Wang Zifeng couldn’t help but want to humiliate him, to tell Ye Qiu that only he was worthy of Chu Yao.

Ye Qiu naturally noticed their gazes, and seeing Chu Yao and Wang Zifeng together, he smiled faintly.

"You must be Chu Yao’s friend, right? Why don’t you come in and take a look?" Wang Zifeng took the initiative to greet him and wrapped his arm around Chu Yao’s waist, deliberately showing it to Ye Qiu. Chu Yao struggled a couple of times but couldn’t break free. She didn’t dare to look at Ye Qiu’s face, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

Wang Zifeng said, "Let’s go inside and take a look. This store’s rings are one of the best in Capital City. You can pick any one you like, how’s that?"

Chu Yao said, "Let’s go."

"Why leave? You’re going to marry me in the future. Is there anything wrong with me selecting a ring for you now?" Wang Zifeng’s words left no room for doubt.

"Money is for spending on women, don’t worry, I have plenty of it. It’s just a mere diamond ring. Surely, I can’t be like your friend here, who has the desire to buy but can’t bring out the money, can I? Can only stand pitifully at the door looking in." With that statement, Wang Zifeng appeared to be talking to Chu Yao, but in reality, he was mocking Ye Qiu.

Chu Yao knew that Ye Qiu was not as Wang Zifeng described, and still wanted to leave, but Wang Zifeng held her tightly.

"My friend, Chu Yao and I will go inside first," Wang Zifeng said while pulling Chu Yao towards the jewelry store, not forgetting to greet Ye Qiu.

Wang Zifeng’s gaze, full of smug contempt, seemed to linger in front of Ye Qiu, who smiled and remained unconcerned. He had been watching Chu Yao the whole time, not saying a word.

Looking at the triumphant back of the other party, Ye Qiu’s lips curled up in a smile, and then he too leisurely stepped inside.
