Liu Rui saw that the old man was staring at Ye Changqing and mentioned something about a divine doctor. He thought the old man had made a mistake because his eyesight had always been poor. Sometimes, he couldn't even tell the difference between men and women.
"Dad, this is a liar. Don't pay attention to him. In this world, there are all kinds of bad people, and they even dare to deceive our Liu family," Liu Rui said.
Liu Hengyu squinted his eyes and looked carefully. The more he looked, the more certain he was. "You... are the divine doctor, right?"
Ye Changqing said coldly, "What? You don't even recognize me now that you're cured?"
When Liu Hengyu heard the voice, he immediately went forward to greet Ye Changqing. "It really is you! You are a very important guest. You are the most distinguished guest in my Liu residence. Your presence truly honors our house!"
This scene made Liu Rui frown. Even if Ye Changqing was the doctor who cured his father's illness, there was no need to be so enthusiastic. Treating an illness and paying for it was just a transaction. With the status of the Liu family today, was it necessary to be so respectful to a doctor?
Ye Changqing snorted coldly. "Don't be so hypocritical. Your son just drove me out and called me a bad person. The threshold of your Liu family is too high for me to reach!"
Liu Hengyu was stunned for a moment. Then he turned around and scolded Liu Rui. "Apologize to Doctor Ye! You blind fool! How dare you disrespect Doctor Ye!"
Liu Rui frowned. Not only was Ye Changqing there, but three security guards were also watching. He was, after all, the head of the Liu family. His father didn't give him any face at all.
He couldn't help but retort, "Dad, even if he cured your disease, we paid him. Is there any need to be so grateful?"
Liu Hengyu was so angry that he trembled. "Do you know what kind of disease I had?"
Liu Rui didn't take it seriously. "It's just..."
Before he could finish, Liu Hengyu slapped him in the face. "You brat! What do you mean by 'it's just'? I went all over the country and couldn't get cured, and you don't even care?"
Liu Rui covered his face and looked at his father in disbelief. "You... you hit me?"
He, a dignified Mr. Liu, was slapped in the face in front of Ye Changqing and three security guards. How could he bear it?
Liu Hengyu said with a tone of hating that his son was hopeless. "You wretch! How dare you disrespect Doctor Ye? I would break your legs if I could! I'm so angry!"
Liu Rui was still a little unconvinced, covering his face. "Dad, the Liu family is powerful in the business world, and I am the head of the Liu family. You don't have to hit me for a doctor. How can I manage my subordinates in the future?"
Liu Hengyu snorted coldly. "You fool! I'm not worried about how you manage your subordinates. I'm worried about whether you can survive. My disease is hereditary. The reason I didn't tell you was that I was worried you couldn't bear the news. Your life in the future depends on Doctor Ye!"
Liu Rui's face turned pale. Hereditary disease? That was a terminal illness! It could be fatal!
If his father hadn't gone to Songjiang City...
Thinking of this, he suddenly came to his senses and looked at Ye Changqing. Now he understood his father's intentions.
Ignoring his pride, he quickly took a few steps forward and grasped Ye Changqing's hand.
"Doctor Ye, please save me! I can't die! I'm only forty years old..."
Ye Changqing shook off Liu Rui's hand. "Everyone will die. Why shouldn't you?"
Liu Hengyu watched and shook his head. His son really lost his composure. His character was too poor. Alas, if he had another son, he would never pass the Liu family to this one.
Thump.
Liu Rui was so frightened that his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground.
"Doctor Ye, I'm sorry. I was blind. I apologize to you. Please forgive me and save me."
Liu Hengyu couldn't stand it anymore. "Idiot! This disease doesn't start to appear until around fifty. You haven't got it yet. How can Doctor Ye save you?"
Ah...
Liu Rui was stunned. He wanted to stand up but felt it was inappropriate. He looked at Ye Changqing eagerly, hoping he would give him a way out.
Ye Changqing said with a dark face, "If it weren't for your father, even if you were kneeling, I wouldn't bother with you."
Liu Rui awkwardly stood up. "Thank you. I... I really didn't know who you were. It won't happen again."
Seeing that the matter was finally over, Liu Hengyu invited Ye Changqing into the Liu family again.
When they arrived at the living room, Liu Rui sent the nanny away and personally served tea, waiting on them.
Liu Hengyu and Ye Changqing chatted for a while, and then the topic came to the matter at hand.
"Doctor Ye, at the entrance, my unfilial son said you had something to ask. I don't know what it is, but I, Liu Hengyu, will make a statement first. As long as you command, my Liu family will do whatever it takes for you, even if it means going through fire and water."
Ye Changqing smiled and said, "It won't come to that. My girlfriend is Zhao Qiuyan. She is now in charge of the Zhao family, but several members of the Zhao family are not convinced. I just want you to support her and show your stance."
Liu Hengyu immediately stood up. "I, an old man, haven't shown up in the business world for a long time. Let's go. I'll go to the Zhao family in person."
With the status of the Liu family, just a word from them would be the greatest support for Zhao Qiuyan. If Liu Hengyu went in person, it would be a great honor for the Zhao family.
Ye Changqing saw this and went forward to shake hands. "Thank you for your support. There's no rush. The day after tomorrow is my girlfriend's mother's birthday. Let's go then."
Liu Hengyu nodded. "Then we'll go the day after tomorrow. By the way, I'll prepare a gift. Doctor Ye, with your status, marrying the girl from the Zhao family is like a great blessing for the Zhao family."
Ye Changqing smiled, chatted for a while more, and then stood up to leave.
Liu Hengyu also stood up and said, "Let Xiao Rui drive you. He has nothing to do these days. You will surely need a car in Kyoto. Let him be your driver."
Ye Changqing wanted to refuse, but Liu Rui quickly said, "Doctor Ye, it's not easy for you to come to Kyoto. I must do my best to be a good host."
He was very enthusiastic, which was completely different from when he first met Ye Changqing.
Ye Changqing nodded. "Okay. I do need a car. Take me to the Wang family first."
Liu Hengyu probably understood Ye Changqing's purpose. "The Wang family is a bit tricky. Their family has military influence. They are very arrogant and don't give anyone face."
Ye Changqing walked to the door and stopped. "Military?"
He knew nothing about the Wang family and wanted to know more.
Liu Hengyu took out a business card. "This is my business card. Try it. I'm not sure if it will work."
Ye Changqing took the business card. It was made of jade, as thin as a cicada's wing, with "Shoulder - pole Liu" written on it.
He put it in his pocket. "I'll give it a try."
Liu Rui was shocked. There were only five jade business cards in the Liu family. This not only represented the Liu family but also their commitment, which couldn't be measured by money. It seemed that his father was willing to do anything to help Ye Changqing.
A car left the Liu residence. Liu Rui drove slowly and steadily.
Ye Changqing sat in the back seat and called Zhao Qiuyan. "Hello. Have you seen Wang Zhongyue?"
In front of the Wang family's house, Zhao Qiuyan was pacing back and forth. "No. I'm waiting for news at the door."
Not only Zhao Qiuyan but also Zhao Mingfeng and Zhao Qiushan were waiting.
The guard said that Wang Zhongyue was having dinner with guests and wouldn't finish for a while.
Ye Changqing played with the jade business card in his hand and said, "Wait for me. I'll be there soon. I have a way to see him."
When Zhao Qiuyan heard Ye Changqing say he had a way, she frowned. She had already suffered at the Liu family. Ye Changqing said he could get Mr. Liu to come out to greet them, but later Liu Rui came out to drive them away.
This time, she didn't want Ye Changqing to get involved no matter what. "Don't come. Don't come at all. Go home and wait for my news."
After saying that, she hung up the phone directly.
Ye Changqing put the phone in his pocket and said to Liu Rui, "Go to the Wang family. Drive a little faster!"
