She clapped her hands and said, “I’m busy today, so I’ll let you off the hook.
But if I run into you again, I’ll stomp your junk.”
With that, she turned and got back in her car.
Wang Jiaxin, who had been standing foolishly to the side, finally snapped back to her senses as she watched the scene unfold.
Even an idiot could tell that the Zheng Yan of today was no longer a simple man.
Not only did the Bai Family treat Zheng Yan as an honored guest, but now there was also this gorgeous, rich girl.
At this thought, Wang Jiaxin rushed forward and blocked the red sports car’s path.
Lu Yan frowned and asked, “Who’s this?
Why is she blocking my car?”
“My ex-girlfriend.
I have no idea what she’s doing.”
“Your ex-girlfriend?” Lu Yan paused for a moment, then gave Zheng Yan a mischievous grin.
“Did you get her pregnant and are now trying to make a run for it?”
Zheng Yan shot Lu Yan a look.
“How is that possible?
She’s the one who dumped me.”
With that, Zheng Yan got out of the car, looked at Wang Jiaxin, and said, “Wang Jiaxin, what do you think you’re doing?”
Seeing Zheng Yan step out of the car, Wang Jiaxin hurried forward.
“Zheng Yan, how do you know so many people?
Have you struck it rich?”
“Does that have anything to do with you?”
Wang Jiaxin started crying, grabbing Zheng Yan’s arm with both hands.
“Zheng Yan, please forgive me, okay?
After you went to prison, I wanted to wait for you to get out.”
“But I’m just a girl from the countryside.
How could I possibly survive in this city all by myself?”
“Just forgive me this once.
Can we get back together?”
Zheng Yan looked at Wang Jiaxin’s tear-streaked face and felt a pang of pity.
This was the woman he had once promised to take care of for the rest of his life.
They had made so many memories together in this city.
Right up until he got out of prison, Zheng Yan had still been thinking about giving Wang Jiaxin a good life.
If it had been anything else, Zheng Yan might have forgiven her.
But the moment he thought about how his mother had suffered for three long years because of the persecution from her and his aunt’s family…
…it was impossible for Zheng Yan to forgive her.
“Wang Jiaxin, you and I are over.
There’s no future for us.”
“Are you really that heartless?
Even if I made a mistake, you can’t forgive me just once?
Are you even a man?” Wang Jiaxin was furious and flustered.
“It’s precisely because I’m a man that I stand by my principles.
You’ve crossed my line.
This is impossible.”
After saying his piece, Zheng Yan got back into Lu Yan’s sports car.
The red sports car sped away.
Wang Jiaxin was left standing by the curb, alone with her regrets. This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
‘If only I had stood by Zheng Yan back then,’ she thought, ‘I would be the one sitting next to him now.’
…
“I didn’t realize your girlfriend was so deeply in love with you,” Lu Yan said, half-joking as she drove.
Zheng Yan just smiled.
“That’s because you didn’t see what she was like before.”
“What was she like before?
Tell me.”
“Forget it.
It’s not worth mentioning.”
Lu Yan pleaded playfully, “Zheng Yan, come on, just tell me.
I’m so curious.”
Zheng Yan was speechless.
‘Is this kind of coquettishness an innate skill for women?
Even a proud beauty like Lu Yan can do it.’
Unable to stand Lu Yan’s cutesy act, Zheng Yan recounted the events of the past few days.
Lu Yan gasped at every turn of the story.
Finally, she said slowly, “In that case, you definitely can’t take her back.
I can’t believe she’s that awful.”
Zheng Yan nodded.
“Yeah.
I pretty much know why she wants to get back with me.
It’s because I know the Bai Family and you.
She thinks I’ve made it big.”
“I see.
Then you have even more reason not to get back with her.”
After saying that, Lu Yan felt a sense of relief wash over her, though she wasn’t sure why.
She lightly pressed the gas pedal, and the red Lamborghini’s engine roared to life.
Soon, the car arrived at the Crescent Villa District in the city center.
The residents of this district were all either rich or powerful.
Outside the district was a lake shaped like a crescent moon.
That was how the Crescent Villa District got its name.
The red Lamborghini finally stopped in front of a villa.
“Alright, we’re here.”
Zheng Yan got out of the car and looked at the villa before him.
It was three stories tall, with ceilings at least four meters high on each floor.
The exterior looked magnificent and grand.
‘So this is how the rich live.’
Lu Yan led Zheng Yan to the front door and knocked.
Someone quickly opened it from the inside.
“Miss Lu, you’ve arrived.” The butler who opened the door saw Lu Yan and Zheng Yan and made a welcoming gesture.
“Where is my master?”
“Master Fang is in the garden right now.”
Fang Guosheng had been relaxing in a rocking chair, comfortably sipping tea.
When he saw Zheng Yan approaching, he quickly stood up to greet him.
“Divine Doctor Zheng, thank you for making the trip.”
“You’re welcome.
Since I already agreed, it doesn’t matter when I came.”
“Mr.
Zheng, you truly are straightforward.
We’ve already gathered the medicinal herbs you asked me to collect.
They’re right here.”
With that, Fang Guosheng led Zheng Yan to where the herbs were kept.
Looking at the dozen or so precious medicinal herbs, Zheng Yan nodded.
“Yes, these are the ones.”
“The first herbal bath will require my assistance with acupuncture.
After that, you can do it on your own.”
Fang Guosheng clasped his hands together in a fist-and-palm salute.
“Thank you, Divine Doctor Zheng.
If I hadn’t met you, I’m afraid I would have carried this illness to my grave.”
Zheng Yan waved his hand dismissively.
“Alright, let’s get started.”
Fang Guosheng turned to Lu Yan, who was standing beside them.
“Xiaoyan, help me prepare a decoction with these herbs.”
“Yes, Master.”
Lu Yan gathered the herbs and went to prepare the medicine.
Fang Guosheng then continued, “Divine Doctor Zheng, this is a bit embarrassing to say.”
“A few of my friends heard that you could treat me, and they all expressed interest in coming over to watch and learn.
You don’t mind, do you?”
“It’s fine.
If they want to watch, then let them.”
Seeing that Zheng Yan wasn’t angry, Fang Guosheng was finally relieved.
He had bragged about it to his friends and felt too embarrassed to turn them down.
Thankfully, Zheng Yan didn’t mind.
Just as he was thinking this, the doorbell rang again.
Before long, several men arrived in the garden.
“Master Fang, long time no see,” a few of them said, stepping forward with clasped-hand salutes.
“Everyone, long time no see.” Fang Guosheng returned the salute, then introduced Zheng Yan.
“This is the Divine Doctor Zheng I mentioned.”
“Divine Doctor Zheng?” The crowd stared at Zheng Yan, clearly stunned.
‘He’s so young, yet he dares to call himself a Divine Doctor?
How is that possible?’
“Master Fang, you haven’t been scammed, have you?
I can’t see how he could possibly be a Divine Doctor,” said a middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache, eyeing Zheng Yan from head to toe.
“Master Fang, we all know about your condition, but you can’t just get desperate and turn to any quack you find.”
“If you find someone unreliable, you might just make things worse.”
“Yeah, did this kid recognize you, Master Fang, and deliberately get close to you?”
Fang Guosheng quickly waved his hands.
“You’ve all misunderstood.
This man really is Divine Doctor Zheng.
I personally witnessed him setting my apprentice’s broken bone, and he identified my internal problem with just a single glance.”
