Urban Invincible Overlord

"Heh heh, sure."

Yang Fei didn't want to make Qin Yanyang uncomfortable, so he laughed, replied, and said no more, but just lowered his head to drink his tea.

To the others, this behavior seemed like he was dimmed by Ning Xiaodong's excellence, overshadowed, unable to raise his head.

Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads internally.

They all thought it was such a pity that Qin Yanyang had married this man.

Some suspected that Yang Fei was a shield Qin Yanyang had hired, and they smirked to themselves, thinking the "actor" Qin had chosen was so poor that even if he bragged, he should have made himself look better.

Seeing Yang Fei not speaking, and lacking his previous courage to confront him publicly, Ning Xiaodong secretly disdained him.

Is that all?

In the end, Yang Fei was like dog meat that couldn't make it to the feast; in such high-end gatherings, his inferiority and timidity became apparent.

Be it personal capability, family background, or job, Ning Xiaodong thought he completely crushed this fellow.

Ning Xiaodong felt much better about himself.

He smiled and glanced at Qin Yanyang.

Qin Yanyang frowned and softly said, "My husband works at Li Xuantong Medical Hall."

At this declaration, some professors sitting nearby couldn't help but look up in surprise at Yang Fei.

Li Xuantong's name was well-known in Binhai, especially among the faculty of Binhai University.

Having occupied a guest professor post at Binhai University, many present were Li Xuantong's patients and had been treated by him before.

"To be an apprentice in such a prestigious medical figure's hall, Brother Yang is indeed impressive," Ning Xiaodong chuckled.

He was a bit shocked at first but then scoffed at the thought.

So what if he works by Li Xuantong's side?

He's just a medical apprentice!

However, some senior professors who were acquainted with Li Xuantong looked at Yang Fei with a bit more recognition.

Li Xuantong's professional competency was beyond doubt; if he had hired Yang Fei to work at his hall, and at such a young age, there must be some skills.

Moreover, even just out of respect for Li Xuantong, they could not trivialize this young man anymore.

"Oh dear, my colleagues, I apologize for the inconvenience, something came up last minute, and I am late."

Just then, a voice came from outside the box.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone stood up.

At the entrance of the box, today's birthday star Ning Yaodong and his wife Wang Ping, accompanied by a dignified middle-aged woman, walked in.

Ning Yaodong, with a radiant face, laughed, "Dinner was set for seven o'clock, and it's still a few minutes away, where am I late? I am actually early."

"Sister Luu."

"Principal Luu."

Some female professors greeted the newcomers warmly. Check for the latest updates on My Virtual Library Empire (M-VL-EMP-YR).

The rest of the male comrades also showed warm respect and admiration for the arrivals.

Beside Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang also stood up and walked over, calling out, "Principal."

Luu Nian was very fond of Qin Yanyang, and seeing her approach, she smiled and took Qin's hand, saying, "You're here too."

As she spoke, her eyes glanced at Ning Xiaodong, and she knew why Ning Yaodong had also invited Qin Yanyang.

This was to help his nephew build bridges.

Suddenly, Luu Nian's expression became stunned as she looked at a position behind Qin Yanyang.

Some noticed Luu Nian's expression and were also puzzled, following her gaze.

They saw in the entire box, Yang Fei the only one still sitting at the table, not having stood up to greet anyone, which was very conspicuous and very impolite.

Ning Yaodong coughed slightly, frowning slightly.

When he had heard Qin Yanyang had brought a male companion, he had felt uncomfortable; now seeing the man she brought displaying such a lack of manners, he was even more displeased.

Today was his birthday, and the guests were all close friends or prestigious faculty leaders from the school.

Qin Yanyang did not originally qualify to be invited; if it weren't for his grandnephew pursuing her, her status at Binhai University would not have been sufficient for an invitation.

Originally, as long as this young man was standing there and pretended not to see him, it would have passed.

But now, his disrespectful behavior has drawn the attention of the vice principal, which is too much.

Just as Ning Yaodong was about to say something with a gloomy face, he saw Principal Luu stride over to Yang Fei, his voice filled with excitement, "Mr. Yang, you are here too."

It became quiet!

Everyone widened their eyes, looking at Yang Fei in surprise.

Who is this young man that even the vice principal of Binhai University addresses him as Mr. Yang?

A flicker of curiosity passed through Qin Yanyang's eyes as she eyed her husband intently.

Hadn't he just returned to the country a few days ago? Since when did he know Principal Luu?

More importantly, why would Principal Luu be so courteous to him?

Yang Fei felt no sense of belonging at today's banquet.

Some of the people who had risen to greet him probably held high positions, but what did that have to do with him? As it was irrelevant to him, he remained seated.

Now, hearing someone call him— the voice slightly familiar, he couldn't help but look up and then be stunned.

"Professor Luu?" Yang Fei said with a smile, nodding at her, yet thinking to himself what a coincidence.

He knew beforehand that Luu Nian was a university professor, so her presence here was normal.

In contrast, his presence here was probably more of a surprise to Professor Luu.

Seeing Yang Fei address her as Professor Luu, she hurriedly said, "I wouldn't dare. Mr. Yang, you are an old friend of my father and Uncle Li, making me a generation younger than you, I..."

Yang Fei interrupted, "Then I'll call you Sister Luu, let's just keep to our own."

Luu Nian, seeing Yang Fei's carefree nature, felt gratitude towards him, and even more recognition.

This young man possessed extraordinary medical skills, yet he did not become arrogant because of his talents; instead, he was approachable, gentle in character, truly rare to find.

"That, Principal Luu, do you know him?" Ning Yaodong finally came back to his senses, looking at Luu Nian with a mixture of surprise and confusion.

The others were also curious, clearly surprised by Yang Fei and Luu Nian knowing each other.

Especially Ning Xiaodong who clenched his fists tightly in secret.

Luu Nian, seeing everyone looking surprised, couldn't help but feel puzzled.

What's so strange about her knowing Mr. Yang?

"Principal Luu, it turns out you know my husband," said Qin Yanyang with a smiling tone to Luu Nian at that moment.

Luu Nian was extremely surprised upon hearing this. Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei were both so young, yet they were married?

She then understood why, apart from Qin Yanyang, the others in this private room were so curious about her knowing Yang Fei.

It was because they felt that Yang Fei wasn't worthy of Qin Yanyang, thinking that Ning Xiaodong and Qin Yanyang were a perfect match.

Hmph, a bunch of short-sighted people.

Although Ning Xiaodong was outstanding, compared to Mr. Yang, one was a firefly, the other a star above the nine heavens.

With this thought, Luu Nian said with a smile, "Mr. Yang is a true master of traditional Chinese medicine, he managed to cure my father's chronic illness, allowing my father to stand up again."

"What?"

A cry of astonishment issued.

The old leader had been paralyzed for over three years, and although Li Xuantong had treated him devotedly, he could only rely on a wheelchair. Now, Luu Nian was saying Yang Fei managed to make the old leader stand again—how could that be possible?

Most of those present were promoted by Luu Shouwang, and upon hearing Luu Nian say this, they could not help but show a look of shocked excitement.

However, upon seeing how young Yang Fei was, their expressions changed to doubt and disbelief.

Especially Ning Xiaodong, his face filled with deep resentment and reluctance.

It must be fake.

How could this young man cure the old principal's paralysis?

If even Li Xuantong couldn't cure it, how could he?

He must have deceived Principal Luu by some means.

Yes, that must be it.

Luu Nian, always guilty about her previous disrespect towards Yang Fei, happened to meet him here and immediately sat next to him, thinking of getting closer to Yang Fei.
