Chapter 15 Embark On Your Performance

Wu Minghe furrowed his brow slightly, anticipating Wang Youtian's next words. As expected, Wang Youtian pointed triumphantly at Chen Song and declared, "This individual is completely ignorant when it comes to medicine." He assumed Chen Song would immediately retreat, but instead, Chen Song appeared unfazed and puzzled. Upon hearing Wu Minghe's remark, "Is that so? Then it appears I am truly unable to assist you with your ailment." With that, Wu Minghe gave a subtle nod to Chen Song, signaling that they should depart together. "Wait!" Wang Youtian never anticipated that Wu Minghe would decline to treat him directly. He grew anxious, "Doctor Wu, I am well acquainted with Chen Song. He is my student and cannot possibly comprehend medicine. Why would you trust him?" Seeing Wang Youtian's distressed expression, Wu Minghe could only offer a gentle smile and reply, "Whether Chen Song understands medicine is not for you to determine. It is up to the patient. Furthermore, his medical expertise surpasses mine by leaps and bounds. How could I doubt him?" When Wu Minghe mentioned that Chen Song's medical skills far exceeded his own, everyone present was taken aback. Wasn't it Chen Song's needle that had the potential to harm Wang Youtian just moments ago? Although this notion crossed their minds, they found it difficult to believe. Chen Song was so young, yet his medical abilities were purportedly superior to the esteemed Wu Minghe. How could this be possible? Liu Mingyang interjected immediately, "What does he know about medicine? Impossible, he will never grasp medicine! I refuse to believe it!" Finally, Wu Minghe voiced a sentiment that had been lingering in his heart for quite some time, "Chen Song, if you are willing, I would like to request that you become my mentor and teach me acupuncture." His tone was earnest, his silvery-white hair trembling slightly, as he respectfully bowed before Chen Song. The onlookers were dumbfounded. If they hadn't witnessed it firsthand, who would believe that Wu Minghe, a revered figure in the traditional Chinese medicine realm, worshipped by the people of Jiangcheng as a deity, would actually bow down to an individual who had been dependent on others for years and was deemed a failure. To ask him to be his instructor was simply inconceivable. Observing the scene unfold, Yuan Ke'er's heart was thrown into disarray, her mind in turmoil, and she felt extremely agitated. How could she have been so blind as to divorce someone like Chen Song? Was there still a chance for reconciliation? "Hus...husband," she suddenly called out, then approached, tugging at Chen Song's sleeve, "Husband, I was mistaken in the past, it was my fault, I wrongly accused you, can you forgive me?" She batted her eyelashes, displaying an incredibly endearing expression, and pleaded, "Can you grant me another opportunity?" Sun Mei witnessed Yuan Ke'er's swift reaction and felt her own heart race. She cleared her throat and remarked, "Yuan Ke'er, have some shame. We are divorced, it's over. Do you truly wish to reconcile? Do you believe you are still deserving of Chen Song? How could a man like Chen Song possibly desire someone like you?" She then turned to Chen Song and confessed, "Chen Song, truthfully, I held you in high regard in the past. I penned numerous love letters to you. Over the years, my feelings have not wavered. I know I have been waiting for you." As expected of an actress, Sun Mei's performance was impeccable. If not for her true colors being revealed earlier, one might genuinely believe that she harbored genuine sentiments for Chen Song. Unable to bear the spectacle any longer, Wu Tao interjected, "You both are masters of deception. I have seen enough." At that moment, a tall, strikingly beautiful woman approached. Her large, captivating eyes resembled the radiant moon in the sky, unforgettable at first glance. Every man was left speechless. The stunning woman walked directly to Chen Song and smiled warmly, "Chen Song, I have arranged the abalone feast over yonder, awaiting your presence." "Xue'er, I had no idea you were here as well," Chen Song said with a smile. The presence of Jiang Xue'er immediately overshadowed Sun Mei and Yuan Ke'er, making them seem like insignificant wildflowers on the roadside, unable to compete. The two women glared at Jiang Xue'er with hostility. Sun Mei boldly approached her and said, "Can't you see that Chen Song is with us? Who do you think you are, waiting for him?" In the next moment, a hot slap landed on her cheek. "How dare you disrespect Miss Jiang! What kind of person are you!" Ding Baosan shouted in anger. Seeing the red mark on Sun Mei's face, Yuan Ke'er paled. Who was this woman? Could she be the daughter of the Jiang family? If she was vying for Chen Song's attention, then Yuan Ke'er stood no chance. The onlookers, mostly boys, felt a sense of amusement seeing the elegant school flower being slapped by Ding Baosan, finding it hard to resist laughing at her misfortune. Sun Mei reacted quickly, realizing the identity of Miss Jiang, and knelt down with trembling legs. "Miss Jiang, please forgive me. I was ignorant and failed to recognize your importance." Having heard of the esteemed granddaughter of Mr. Jiang from the Jiang Group, known for her beauty and status, Sun Mei feared her days were numbered after offending such a prominent figure. Upon hearing the name Jiang Xue'er, Liu Mingyang was also taken aback. The shock made him forget the pain in his injured hand, lamenting his luck that day. Did they not check the calendar before leaving the house? Welcoming the daughter of the Jiang Group in such a small private room seemed unbelievable! One slower to react whispered, "Could it be Jiang Xue'er, the daughter of the Jiang Group? What luck to see such a divine figure today, she truly looks like a fairy." "Yes, so beautiful and ethereal." "Is she the daughter of the Jiang Group who is collaborating with Brother Yang's family company? Is she here to help Brother Yang?" someone speculated, their imagination running wild. "Yes, Brother Yang, someone is here to assist you." The group still held hope for Liu Mingyang, wishing to benefit from his connections. Upon hearing their whispers, Jiang Xueer frowned. "Who has collaborated with our Jiang Group?" "It's him! Didn't his father's company work with the Jiang Group on a real estate project?" someone explained, prompting Liu Mingyang to speak. "Brother Yang, tell her quickly, the name of your family business." Liu Mingyang took a deep breath and said, "Miss Jiang, our Liu Lanshan Riverside Development Company didn't collaborate with your Jiang Group on a project? We, we..." His voice trailed off as he spoke. Jiang Xueer sneered. "Riverside development? Our Jiang Group has never been involved in any riverside development projects." "It's not riverside development, it's the land near the river, worth billions."
