Chapter 920: Chapter 920
Tian Kun viciously slapped Tian Ci across the face. "It's all because of you, you scoundrel! You brought that fraud, and now Lin, the Divine Doctor, has been driven away. No matter what it takes, you must bring Lin back. If you can't, you can forget about stepping into the Tian family again."
Covering his red, swollen cheek, Tian Ci looked utterly dejected. He couldn't believe that Lin Chen was truly such a peerless Divine Doctor. Now, he had thoroughly offended him—how could he possibly convince Lin to return?
Tian Ci pulled a long face and said, "Uncle, by now, Lin Chen must hate me to the core. If I go plead with him, do you really think he'll come back?"
"That's your problem. If you can't convince Lin Chen to come back and treat Xiao Li, don't ever expect another penny from me in the future," Tian Kun said coldly.
At this moment, Tian Ci felt like dying. His parents weren't capable of much, and the only reason he could still hold his own in the playboy circles was entirely thanks to this uncle. If Tian Kun stopped supporting him, he was nothing.
"Fine, I'll go beg Mr. Lin right away," Tian Ci replied, his face full of despair.
He glared fiercely at Master Tianlun, then turned to the security guards at the door and barked, "What are you all standing around for? Throw this fraud out already!"
Poor Master Tianlun. Just moments ago, he had been treated like an honored guest. Now, in the blink of an eye, he was cast out like a stray dog.
The car sped down the highway as Wang Yushan sat in the passenger seat, her face full of guilt. "Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect them to treat you like that."
Lin Chen smiled faintly. "It's nothing. Some people are just blind to others' worth."
Wang Yushan chuckled. "Still, I never thought you were so amazing. You should've seen their faces when you demonstrated your skills just now."
Lin Chen looked smug. "Of course. I'm the most sought-after Divine Doctor in all of China. So, how was it? Was your big brother handsome just now? Have you fallen for me yet?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Wang Yushan's heart began to race, and her cheeks turned bright red.
"You pervert! Who's fallen for you?"
Lin Chen, still full of himself, replied, "Come on, Yushan. Your expression has already given you away. I know how you girls work—when you say you don't like someone, it means you do. When you say it's no big deal, it means it is. When you say you're not interested, it means you're head over heels for me, right?"
"You—!" Wang Yushan's blush deepened as Lin Chen hit the nail on the head. Her heart thumped like a restless deer, jumping wildly.
As it turned out, Lin Chen was right. Wang Yushan had indeed fallen for him.
Although she knew Lin Chen was a notorious flirt, and there was a time when his shameless teasing made her want to tear him into pieces...
But after everything they had been through, Wang Yushan suddenly found herself unable to resist the boy in front of her.
She was still lost in her thoughts when a BMW sports car overtook them at high speed.
"Watch out!" Lin Chen quickly turned the steering wheel, narrowly avoiding a collision between the two cars.
Wang Yushan broke into a cold sweat, then froze when she saw the BMW ahead.
"What's he doing here?" Wang Yushan quickly hit the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road.
At that moment, the BMW also stopped. Tian Ci jumped out in a fluster and ran toward Lin Chen's car.
Seeing Tian Ci, Lin Chen's lips curved into a cold smile.
"Are you insane? You almost caused a crash just now!" Wang Yushan said angrily.
"Sister Yushan, it's all my fault. Please don't be mad," Tian Ci said apologetically, smiling even as he was scolded.
"What do you want?" Wang Yushan asked impatiently.
Tian Ci's gaze shifted to Lin Chen, who sat expressionless beside her. "Mr. Lin, I was blind and foolish! I was wrong. Please, I beg you, come back and save my cousin."
Lin Chen glanced at Tian Ci. "Don't you already have Master Tianlun, the Divine Doctor? Let him handle it."
At the mention of Master Tianlun, Tian Ci's face filled with rage. "I was stupid to fall for that fraud's lies. I even let him manipulate me into offending you, Mr. Lin."
As he spoke, Tian Ci slapped himself hard twice across the face.
Lin Chen smirked coldly. "Go tell Tian Kun that his mansion is far too grand for me, a humble farmer. I wouldn't dare step foot there. He'd better find someone else to help."
With that, Lin Chen turned to Wang Yushan and said, "Drive!"
Though she felt a twinge of sympathy for Tian Ci, Wang Yushan stepped on the gas as Lin Chen instructed, leaving the almost-crying Tian Ci behind in their dust.
At that moment, Wang Yushan's phone suddenly rang. The screen showed that the call was from Tian Kun.
"It's my uncle calling. Looks like he's ready to apologize," she said.
Just as she was about to answer, Lin Chen snatched the phone from her and powered it off.
"Don't answer. I don't have time for his calls," Lin Chen said coldly.
"Lin Chen, I know what my uncle did was wrong, but Xiao Li is innocent..."
Lin Chen sneered. "Tian Kun is truly a rich man's rich man. He can't even apologize in person. He sends lackeys to plead on his behalf, thinking I'll come running at his beck and call? Does he think I'm some kind of pushover?"
Earlier, Lin Chen had rushed over with Wang Yushan to treat Tian Li's illness right after a competition. But when they arrived, the Tian family treated him with scorn, mocking and ridiculing him.
As the host, Tian Kun had not only failed to stop this behavior but had also watched the spectacle with amusement, allowing both Tian Ci and Master Tianlun to provoke him relentlessly.
Now that Lin Chen's extraordinary medical skills had been revealed and Tianlun's fraud exposed, they wanted to curry favor with him. But it was too late. Since they couldn't show even basic respect, Lin Chen saw no reason to spare them any face.
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Wang Yushan couldn't help but feel at a loss. It was true that her uncle had been in the wrong, but she still worried about Tian Li's condition.
Lin Chen seemed to guess her thoughts and smiled faintly. "Don't worry about your sister. I've already sealed her cold poison with Spiritual Energy. But her body is too weak for detoxification right now."
"So you're not abandoning her after all?" Wang Yushan's face lit up with joy.
"Though I have no fondness for her father, Tian Li is still your sister. Consider it me doing you a favor. After all, you're my future wife," Lin Chen teased with a grin.
The car stopped in front of a lavishly decorated club.
Wang Yushan looked astonished. "Lin Chen, looks like your teammates really plan to milk you dry. They brought you to Ronghua Club to celebrate?"
"Is the food here expensive?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.
"Of course! This is the most luxurious club in Zhonghai. Only people with status and wealth dine here. The minimum spending is 100,000 yuan," Wang Yushan remarked, still a bit stunned.
"What?! Those girls are out for blood. They're really determined to empty my wallet," Lin Chen groaned in pain.
Wang Yushan looked Lin Chen up and down. "Just a heads-up—dressed like that, you might not even get through the door."
Lin Chen chuckled confidently. "Who says so? With my good looks, there's no high-end club I haven't been able to enter."
"Yushan, won't you come in and join us for a bite?" Lin Chen joked.
"No way. This is your team celebrating; what would I be doing there? Once you cure my sister, I'll treat you," Wang Yushan replied shyly.
"Alright, it's a deal." Lin Chen waved goodbye to Wang Yushan and strolled confidently toward the club entrance.
"Hey, you looking to recycle trash? You'll have to wait until after midnight if you want to collect scrap here," one of the security guards said, blocking Lin Chen's path.
