Chapter 604: Chapter 604
District Chief Li respectfully opened the car door for Lin Fan, waiting to usher him out.
"Divine Doctor Lin, this is my humble abode. We are very grateful for your visit. My father is inside, please follow me." District Chief Li spoke with great respect.
Having witnessed Lin Fan saving Secretary Ma firsthand, District Chief Li was thoroughly impressed by Lin Fan's medical skill. It's very possible that Lin Fan is the family's only hope—not possible, but fundamentally, he is indeed the only hope.
Could he not regard Lin Fan highly? He was afraid that any minor offense might upset Lin Fan, leading him to refuse making a house call, which would be disastrous.
Lin Fan was not too concerned about District Chief Li's attempts to ingratiate himself. He agreed to treat Elder Li out of respect for Secretary Ma, who mentioned that Elder Li was a soldier with meritorious war service, which Lin Fan respected.
Lin Fan got out of the car and said, "Alright."
This scene was witnessed by Li Xiaosi and her best friend.
The friend realized, "Xiaosi, is he the country doctor you mentioned?"
Li Xiaosi was so angry she couldn't bear it. Her bad premonition had come true; the visitor was indeed Lin Fan!
The friend didn't notice Li Xiaosi's anger and gazed at Lin Fan with starry eyes, "He's really handsome. Even those plain clothes can't hide it. If he changed into something else, is there anyone more handsome in this world?"
Li Xiaosi glared at her friend, "What's so handsome about him? I'm so pissed off!"
The friend stuck out her tongue and said, "Xiaosi, didn't you say Uncle would deal with this country doctor? It doesn't look like it!"
This was precisely what made Li Xiaosi angriest. She thought her father would deal with Lin Fan. Her father always doted on her and listened to her every word. This time, it seemed he hadn't done as she wished!
Li Xiaosi couldn't take it. Moreover, she had just told her friend that her father would handle Lin Fan, but now, it looked like a slap in the face, making her lose face.
Li Xiaosi angrily ran out and stood in front of Lin Fan and District Chief Li.
"What's he doing here?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
Li Xiaosi pointed at Lin Fan and spoke angrily.
District Chief Li did not expect Li Xiaosi to rush out and was a bit surprised, "Xiaosi... I invited Divine Doctor Lin to help your grandfather with his illness."
Li Xiaosi said angrily, "Dad, didn't I tell you yesterday that this guy bullied me? You have to stand up for me!"
District Chief Li felt a bit embarrassed. He had indeed planned to confront Lin Fan yesterday, but upon arriving at the country clinic, he saw Secretary Ma there seeking treatment from Lin Fan. How could he dare cause trouble for Lin Fan then?
Moreover, now that he knew Lin Fan's exceptional medical skill, he needed Lin Fan's help even more, so there was no way he could bother Lin Fan.
"Xiaosi, Divine Doctor Lin is here to help your grandfather. Please step aside," District Chief Li said awkwardly, unwilling to provoke Lin Fan yet also unable to scold his daughter, so he could only use a persuasive tone.
Li Xiaosi, however, didn't buy it and angrily said, "I don't care. He treated me like that yesterday. I have to make him pay. You bum, what right do you have to come to my home? Our family is so noble, can someone like you, a country bumpkin, even step in?"
With her bossy temper flaring, Li Xiaosi began to insult Lin Fan.
Lin Fan chuckled, "What's so noble here?"
Li Xiaosi sneered, "You're just a country bumpkin living in that kind of place. We live in a city villa, aren't we more noble than you? Yesterday you threw me out of the clinic, today it's my turn to throw you out of my house. Get out!"
Lin Fan smiled, "Do you really want me to leave? District Chief Li, your daughter seems unwelcome to me, so it seems I shouldn't stay here."
District Chief Li was shocked. Lin Fan intending to leave was a serious matter. Who would treat his father then? He finally managed to invite Lin Fan to the house and couldn't let him leave .
District Chief Li struggled internally but finally put on a stern face and shouted at Li Xiaosi, "Xiaosi, don't be rude. Step back!"
Li Xiaosi was dumbfounded.
She couldn't believe her father was siding with Lin Fan, asking her to step back. From childhood to now, he had always been obedient to her, when had he ever spoken harshly to her!
"Dad, what are you saying? You're asking me to step back?" Li Xiaosi said incredulously, then angrily, "He nearly hit me yesterday. I'm your daughter. How can you not help me teach him a lesson!"
District Chief Li felt uneasy, with sweat appearing on his forehead; he was in a tough position.
Lin Fan watched and smiled, "District Chief Li, since your daughter is so upset, I should leave first, so as not to damage your father-daughter relationship, which wouldn't be good. As for your father's illness, it seems there's nothing I can do."
With that, Lin Fan planned to take his leave.
District Chief Li panicked, "Divine Doctor Lin, please stay. My little girl's temperament is . Please don't take it seriously! Xiaosi, don't be presumptuous here; quickly step back!"
Li Xiaosi couldn't believe that her father was still trying to please Lin Fan, completely disregarding her feelings.
Li Xiaosi angrily said, "Dad, how can you do this? This country bumpkin..."
District Chief Li rushed over and gave Li Xiaosi a resounding slap.
District Chief Li was also anxious. Li Xiaosi jumped out to curse Lin Fan, already making Lin Fan unhappy. If this continued, Lin Fan would definitely leave. He painstakingly invited Lin Fan, desperate to flatter, and couldn't let Li Xiaosi ruin it.
In his urgency, he had no choice but to lay hands on Li Xiaosi, knowing he could coax her later. Right now, he absolutely couldn't offend Lin Fan.
The clear slap left Li Xiaosi stunned.
Li Xiaosi's friend was also stunned.
The Li Family members around, witnessing this, were also stunned.
Master Li actually slapped the young lady!
This wasn't something you see every day. In fact, before this actually happened, no one would have believed that District Chief Li would hit his daughter.
District Chief Li spoiled Li Xiaosi immensely, afraid she'd melt if held in his mouth and break if held in his palm. He dared not give her a star, let alone a moon. Because of this, it led to the young lady being so spoiled and domineering.
No one dared imagine District Chief Li would scold his daughter, let alone hit her.
But this crisp slap ended everything.
"You hit me, you actually hit me!" Li Xiaosi covered her face, looking utterly shocked.
District Chief Li angrily said, "Get down, and don't be disrespectful to Divine Doctor Lin again, or else I..."
Li Xiaosi shouted, "Or else what? Or else you'll hit me again? I'll keep cursing him, you country bumpkin..."
District Chief Li swung his hand again, delivering another loud slap.
"I've never hit you since you were little, perhaps that's why you're so unreasonable. Today, I'll teach you how to behave!" District Chief Li shouted.
Li Xiaosi's cheeks got slapped on both sides, her face swelling red. It not only hurt but made her heart pain more. For Lin Fan, her father actually hit her this hard; she never imagined it in her dreams.
