Chapter 99 Beating Lin Dasha's Fiancée's Bottom
work, especially when delivering flowers, it was best to dress formally.Adhering to the principle of not relying on others financially, Summer insisted on paying by himself; as a result, he spent half...Chapter 98 Who Threatens Whom
Summer didn't give Liu Qi a chance to speak and looked at Hanhan before continuing, "Actually, I'm not very interested in your wife. It's just that the brat is too troublesome, so to be able to scold her without guilt, I had to snatch your wife away. Of course, if she doesn't bother me anymore in the future, I won't have any interest in snatching your wife."
"Waaah..." Hanhan suddenly burst into tears and said, "Mommy, I don't want Bad Egg Divine Doctor Brother to be my dad! And I also don't want to be his wife. I don't want him to hit my bottom every day! Waaaaah..."
"Now you're afraid, huh" Summer looked at Hanhan with a hint of satisfaction; it turned out that even little girls could be dealt with.
However, Liu Qi was furious. "You brat, you flirted with my wife and frightened my daughter! If I don't teach you a lesson, I'm not a man!"
Summer casually retorted, "You're本來就不是男人,是太監。
"Mr. Xia, don't think that knowing some medicine makes you great!" Liu Qi glared at Summer in anger, his teeth clenched with hatred. "I'll tell you now, I'll make sure you can never practice medicine again!"
After saying that, Liu Qi turned to the chubby man beside him: "Director Zheng, he's the one I told you about!"
"Oh" The chubby man had been staring at Mei Ruoting all along. Hearing what Liu Qi said, his gaze finally shifted towards Xia Tian, asking in a casual tone, "So you're that quack doctor who practices medicine illegally and deceives people"
"Who are you" Xia Tian glared at the man irritably. Indeed, standing next to Liu Qi, this fellow was an excellent match; one thin as a stick, the other fat like a pig.
"Mr. Xie, this is Director Zheng Tiancheng of Jianghai City's Health Bureau. You've ended up in his hands for practicing medicine illegally—you'd better hope for your own good fortune!" Liu Qi sneered from the side with an air of satisfaction.
Director Zheng then spoke: "I heard that you're called Xia Tian Young man, even if you have some real skills, you can't be too greedy now, right Charging a few hundred thousand or even millions for curing someone's illness is not unreasonable. But demanding several tens of millions or half of one’s fortune—what's the difference between that and extortion"
"Without spending money on treatment, there's no cure for terminal illnesses. If people die, what use are all those extra funds" Xia Tian rolled his eyes. Seeing this fat man was trying to reason with him, he decided to do the same.
"That may be true, but your fees are a bit too high, aren't they" Director Zheng squinted his eyes. "Young man, judging by your appearance, you don’t seem to have much money right now and must urgently need it. But even so, you can't make money this way—can you expect one patient alone to turn you into a millionaire Actually, if you lower your prices, Mr. Liu will introduce other patients to you in the future, increasing your income further. Isn’t that better"
"Oh, you're more pleasant to talk to than that dead monkey," Summer casually remarked. "Unfortunately, I'm really unhappy with this dead monkey. I wish he would die from his illness. Therefore, either he gives me half of his assets or he can just wait for death. Who let him call me a liar when I was originally offering to treat him for free!"
"Young man, even though President Liu might have been wrong, give me some face and allow me to offer you one million yuan in exchange for curing him. What do you think" Zheng Tiancheng said with a pleasant expression, his eyes fixed on Mei Ruting's figure, which was quite alluring.
Summer firmly declined: "No way. I charge one million for saving lives and five hundred thousand for saving deaths. This is my rule."
Zheng Tiancheng finally became unhappy. As a bureau chief, he had already been very magnanimous in discussing this matter with such a young man for so long.
"Young man, are you really unwilling to give me some face" Zheng Tiancheng's expression darkened.
"I don't know you. Why should I give you face" Summer retorted. He had talked so much with this guy not out of respect but because the other party was willing to reason things out. If the other party did not want to play fair, he would be more justified in acting unfairly.
"Ungrateful!" Zheng Tiancheng finally erupted, "Very well, Summer! I warn you as the Director of Municipal Health Bureau: since you don't have a medical license and continue practicing medicine illegally, for every one thousand yuan you charge, I'll fine you ten thousand yuan. For every million you take, I will impose a penalty of one million!"
Summer was not pleased either; he glared at Zheng Tiancheng and said, "Are you threatening me"
"So what if I am" Zheng Tiancheng sneered. "If you know what's good for you, cure General Liu right away or else you won't be able to practice this profession anymore. Go back to being a construction worker!"
"Who said my husband should become a construction worker" A beautiful voice rang out as a stunningly attractive girl appeared beside Summer. She was also dressed in casual wear like him, but the quality of her clothes was clearly superior; although one couldn't tell what brand they were from, it was evident that the workmanship was exquisite.
"It's me… What…" Zheng Tiancheng blurted out absentmindedly before his expression changed drastically. He had just realized who the girl was and turned ashen-faced as he stuttered, "Miss Qiao… Miss Qiao…"
The girl naturally was Xiaoqiao Qiao. She had just parked her car and spent a moment fixing herself up inside it, which is why she was late. As soon as she got out of the car, however, she saw someone threatening to make Summer become a construction worker, so she felt very indignant.
"So you're Director Zheng." A trace of coldness flickered across Xiaoqiao Qiao's pretty face. "Director Zheng, was it just now that you said my husband should be a construction worker"
"Miss Qiao, there must have been a misunderstanding! I didn't know he actually belonged to you…" Zheng Tiancheng finally understood the situation and hurriedly explained himself, his forehead sweating profusely without him even realizing it. He never would've thought that this fellow who looked like a construction worker was actually Xiaoqiao Qiao's husband; if he had known, even if one hundred of his lives were at stake, he wouldn't have dared to make trouble for Summer.
Qiao Xiaoqiao wasn't in the mood to listen to his explanation. She interrupted Zheng Tiancheng: "Director Zheng, do you believe I can make you work as a porter right now"
"I believe it, I believe it." Zheng Tiancheng bent over almost crying, naturally understanding the power of the Qiao family.
"We have other matters to attend to tonight and won't be dealing with this. But let me tell you, if you dare fine my husband, I will replace you as the Health Bureau Director. If anyone else dares, the new director will also be replaced until no one dares to fine my husband!" Qiao Xiaoqiao said coldly.
"Miss Qiao, I assure this won't happen again. Actually, I believe it's just a misunderstanding. Doctor Xia’s medical license was accidentally lost and we will arrange for its replacement as soon as possible so such misunderstandings won’t occur in the future!" Zheng Tiancheng hurriedly said.
"Very well. If you handle this matter properly, I’ll consider tonight's incident never happened." Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled faintly and linked her arm through Xia Tian’s: "Husband, shall we go inside"
The couple walked closely into the villa this time without anyone blocking their way. Even if these servants hadn’t seen Xia Tian before, they knew who Qiao Xiaoqiao was. Lin Dashaosan had repeatedly instructed everyone to memorize Qiao Xiaoqiao's photo and nobody would dare obstruct her path.
This scene left Liu Qi and Mei Ruoting speechless. Although they hadn't directly interacted with Qiao Xiaoqiao, they were aware of her identity. They never imagined that Xia Tian would have such close ties with Qiao Xiaoqiao. Hanhan, who had stopped crying, stared blankly at the backs of Xia Tian and Qiao Xiaoqiao.
Zheng Tiancheng was completely soaked, and only after seeing Qiao Xiaoqiao disappear from his sight did he finally take a deep breath of relief. While feeling lucky that Qiao Xiaoqiao had been in a good mood today, he also felt somewhat proud of his quick thinking to offer help with Xia Tian's medical license issue, which might even allow him to establish ties with the Qiaos, turning misfortune into blessing.
However, Zheng Tiancheng quickly recalled how close he had come to being brought down by this scoundrel, Liu Qi. Anger immediately surged within him; he suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at Liu Qi, gritting his teeth as he asked, "President Liu, I always treated you well—I never thought you'd go so far as to harm me!"
"Director Zheng, there must be some misunderstanding…" Liu Qi's expression changed, hastily trying to explain.
But Zheng Tiancheng didn't want to give him the chance. He waved his hand impatiently: "A misunderstanding Do you know what happened I almost ended up as a porter! Are your eyes blind Who in their right mind would con someone for such petty money when they have her status Didn’t you see that Miss Qiao didn’t even acknowledge you It’s because you don’t deserve any attention from her. If she had scolded you, it wouldn't be about losing face—it'd be about maintaining her dignity!"
"Director Zheng, I really didn't know the kid was connected to Qiao Xiaoqiao…" Liu Qi couldn't help but try explaining.
“What kind of attitude is this What do you mean by 'the kid' That's Doctor Xia!” Zheng Tiancheng shouted at him. "Now I understand why Doctor Xia wouldn’t treat you—anyone with that sort of attitude deserves to die!"
Liu Qi wanted to say something, but Mei Ruoting spoke first: “Director Zheng, sorry for involving you in this.”y walked towards Xia Tian, his gaze sharp. "I didn't expect you to know martial arts as well; that explains your arrogance. But I must tell you, I hate those who bully the weak under the guise of thei...
