NOVEL WEB Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Fang Feifei
"I am merely a village doctor and dare not claim the title of Divine Doctor," Wang Ye said humbly.
Upon hearing this, Steward Liu snorted disdainfully through his nose, "Since you know you're just a village doctor, don't embarrass yourself here! Go back to where you came from!"
"I thought he was some kind of Divine Doctor, but it turns out he's just a green kid!"
Seeing that Steward Liu did not take him seriously, Wang Ye was not angry. He came to the Fang Family to investigate his own origins, and he was willing to tolerate some disrespect for this cause.
"Steward Liu, Steward Liu, don't go! This man is truly a Divine Doctor. I vouch for him with my own integrity; his medical skills are absolutely trustworthy."
Tan Long hurried forward as he saw Steward Liu about to leave, trying to stop him.
Steward Liu stopped, glanced at Tan Long, and still scoffed, "Integrity? Tan Long, your integrity is not worth much. This is the Fang Family, not somewhere else."
If it were somewhere else, others might give Tan Long some face for his assurance. But here at the Fang Family, it just did not earn any respect.
But then, Wang Ye spoke up, "Steward Liu, please wait. Though my medical skills are not perfect, I can treat some difficult and complex diseases. I've heard that Patriarch Fang's illness has been seen by many skilled doctors who could not cure it. Thus, I think I might be able to help Patriarch Fang."
According to his senior sister, Chen Li, Wang Ye knew that Patriarch Fang's illness was not an incurable one. It was just that, due to family power struggles, people were afraid to treat it. With Wang Ye's medical skills, he was definitely capable of curing it.
This time, Wang Ye would not care about any power struggles. As long as he tried his best to treat the illness, that would be enough.
"Kid, don't overestimate yourself! You're not qualified," Steward Liu still did not show any respect.
"I can assure you that I will definitely cure Patriarch Fang's illness."
Wang Ye had no choice but to say this.
Upon hearing this, Steward Liu was taken aback. He had not expected Wang Ye to say such a thing.
Tan Long was also shocked. He knew Wang Ye was highly skilled in medicine, but such a statement was too absolute. What if he failed to cure him in the end?
Although Chen Li had said earlier that Patriarch Fang's illness was not severe, so much time had passed, and there could definitely be complications.
If they could not cure him, Tan Long himself could end up being implicated as well.
"Doctor Wang, you shouldn't speak so carelessly!" Tan Long whispered in Wang Ye's ear.
He was here to gain some advantages, not to risk his own neck. If Wang Ye could cure Patriarch Fang, that would be great. But if not, the best plan was to just leave.
But now that Wang Ye had made such a statement, even escaping would not be an option if he failed.
"Mr. Tan, if you're afraid, I can go in by myself," Wang Ye said calmly.
"Afraid?" Tan Long was provoked by these words and immediately patted his chest, "When has Tan Long ever been afraid? Since I brought you here, I will see this through with you."
Since it was Wang Ye who would be treating Patriarch Fang, he bore the main responsibility. Even if the treatment failed, the responsibility on Tan Long would not be significant, and he really had nothing to fear.
"You really don't give up until you're at your last breath! Fine, I'll give you this chance. If you fail to cure him, I might not let you off easily," Steward Liu finally decided to give Wang Ye the opportunity.
If he really could cure the old master, then Steward Liu could also gain some benefits for himself in the Fang Family.
"Then thank you, Steward Liu!"
Tan Long was overjoyed to see Steward Liu agree.
"Don't celebrate too soon, let's see after you've had a look," Steward Liu said and walked ahead.
Wang Ye and Tan Long followed him into the Fang Family.
The Fang Family's villa was very large.
Inside, there was not only a backyard and a swimming pool but even a piece of forest and a rockery.
Moreover, several buildings were inside the villa. It seemed that all the Fang Family members lived here.
Wang Ye and Tan Long followed Steward Liu towards the main building.
After they entered the house, they found themselves in a huge living room.
In the living room, there were seven or eight people, each with a rather pained expression.
"Steward Liu, who are these people you've brought in?"
Seeing Steward Liu leading people in, a man in his fifties asked with a cold face.
Steward Liu immediately bent over and responded, "Patriarch, these two are doctors here to treat Old Patriarch's illness."
The 'Patriarch' Steward Liu referred to was Patriarch Fang's eldest son, Fang Junxiang.
Fang Junxiang glanced at Wang Ye and Tan Long and said disdainfully, "Do these two look like doctors? Hurry up and throw them out. Don't disturb the Old Patriarch's peace."
"Patriarch, don't be hasty, let me explain. This man claims to be the Divine Doctor, saying he can treat complicated and rare diseases. Moreover, he has guaranteed that he can cure the Old Patriarch's illness," explained Steward Liu.
"Nonsense, what Divine Doctor? He's a fraudster! Kick him out," Fang Junxiang refused to give any opportunity.
Faced with Fang Junxiang's attitude, Steward Liu was helpless.
The Old Patriarch was seriously ill, and Fang Junxiang was essentially in charge of the household. No one dared to contradict him.
Tan Long, who was listening from behind, also knew that if Fang Junxiang didn't agree, there would definitely be no chance.
Just then, a loud voice came from the yard.
"The Young Miss is back!"
"The Young Miss?"
Everyone from the Fang Family was startled upon hearing this.
Steward Liu shuddered as if something significant had occurred.
From their reactions, it seemed the Young Miss held a very high status in the family.
Not long after the words had fallen, the sound of high heels clacking on the ground came from outside the door.
Wang Ye and Tan Long turned around to look; it was a twenty-something-year-old girl.
She was dressed in a long purple gown, wearing sunglasses, with long hair cascading over her shoulders, walking with great presence, and she looked quite haughty.
"She is beautiful!" Tan Long muttered under his breath.
Wang Ye, however, was not concerned with her appearance but noticed the forty-something-year-old foreigner following beside her.
"Miss, you're back!"
After a moment of distraction, Steward Liu hurried out to greet the Young Miss.
He also pushed Wang Ye and Tan Long aside to clear the way for the Young Miss.
The other members of the Fang Family also came out to welcome her.
"Feifei, you're back! Why didn't you tell your uncle in advance, so I could have picked you up?"
Even Fang Junxiang went forward to greet her.
"Fang Feifei? Could she be the Fang Family's alleged prodigy?" Tan Long whispered.
"Mr. Tan, what are you talking about?" Wang Ye asked.
"Doctor Wang, don't you know? The most favored granddaughter of the Fang Family is Fang Feifei. She is a prodigy, already a Doctor of Economics and has an MBA at such a young age. She's quite impressive. In the Fang Family, aside from Old Patriarch Fang, everyone has to give her face."
