Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: You Still Dare to Be So Arrogant Here?

Wang Chenning narrowed his eyes at Yang Xiaodong’s pretty-boy face. "You love helping outsiders screw over your own brother-in-law so much, I’m starting to suspect you and Li Mingchao have a thing for each other. I’ll ask your sister about it in a bit. If it’s an illness, it needs to be treated!"

Yang Xiaodong flushed with shame and anger. "Wang Chenning, if you dare say another word, I’ll..."

Wang Chenning grabbed Yang Xiaodong by the collar. "If your sister saw you piss your pants in her villa, what do you think she’d think?"

"You..." Yang Xiaodong’s handsome face turned deathly pale. "Don’t you dare!"

Just then, Yang Xiaofei peeked out from upstairs. Wang Chenning casually let go of Yang Xiaodong and, with a wide smile, said to the stunningly beautiful Yang Xiaofei, "Your little brother bought us a huge breakfast. Let’s eat together!"

Yang Xiaofei glanced at Wang Chenning, whose expression was normal, then at the somewhat disheveled Yang Xiaodong. She didn’t say anything, just nodded lightly.

After having breakfast with Yang Xiaofei and her brother, Yang Xiaodong, Wang Chenning left.

"I’ll have someone drive you!" Yang Xiaofei called over Lv Qinglan and had her drive Wang Chenning back to the university.

Wang Chenning didn’t refuse.

On the way, he received a text from Yang Xiaofei: "Thank you for the treatment. I feel much better. When I get back from Europe, I’ll treat you to a great meal!"

"Forget the great meal. It’ll be enough if you and your brother can just manage a smile when you see me."

Yang Xiaofei didn’t reply, but Wang Chenning didn’t mind.

After returning to the university, Wang Chenning got ready to teach his class.

After just a few lectures, Wang Chenning’s reputation had already taken off.

It wasn’t just the students in his own class who loved his lectures; many students from other classes came, drawn by his fame. The female students, in particular, came in droves.

’A teacher this handsome and young, who could totally be their boyfriend? Wang Chenning had to be the only one like that in the entire university.’

Lu Yuanshan had once sat in on one of Wang Chenning’s lectures, and he too was astonished by how brilliant they were and how popular he was with the students.

Lu Yuanshan felt extremely fortunate that he’d managed to lure Wang Chenning into teaching at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

He was a true talent. Among the tens of thousands of staff at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and its several affiliated hospitals, not a single one could compare to Wang Chenning.

However, Wang Chenning was rather lazy. Although he had been appointed as the director of the TCM Acupuncture Department at the First Affiliated Hospital, he never did rounds. He told Lu Yuanshan not to call him unless there was a difficult and complicated case that no one else could solve.

He did, however, give regular lectures to the doctors at the affiliated hospitals, passing on a portion of what he had learned.

Lu Yuanshan was at a loss when faced with Wang Chenning’s arrogance. He didn’t dare force the issue, hoping only that after some time, this young protégé of his would have a change of heart.

Luo Yuqing hadn’t contacted Wang Chenning all day, but Zhao Xiao’an had sent him a few texts.

She had been out today interviewing several important organizations about the state of resuming work and production after the New Year.

"The forecast says there’ll be heavy snow in two days. I’m so excited!"

Wang Chenning replied, "I’m looking forward to it too!"

In the afternoon, Wang Chenning received a call from an unknown number.

"This is Li Mingchao." The person on the other end introduced himself as soon as the call connected. "I’d like to invite Dr. Wang for tea tonight. I hope you’ll do me the honor."

"And who do you think you are? Why should I do you the honor?" Wang Chenning gave him no face. "I only drink tea with my friends!"

Li Mingchao hadn’t expected Wang Chenning to shut him down so rudely and was momentarily speechless.

But then Wang Chenning added, "However, if this is about the humiliation you suffered the other night and you’re looking for a chance to get revenge, then I might just come over and see what you’ve got."

Suppressing his rage, Li Mingchao said, "I imagine Dr. Wang is interested in matters concerning Yang Xiaofei, as well as Luo Yuqing and Zhao Xiao’an. We could sit down and discuss them. If you don’t come, you will definitely regret it."

Wang Chenning let out a cold laugh. "Heh. Is that a threat?"

"If you want to see it as a threat, I won’t deny it." Li Mingchao’s voice was laced with ice. "If you’re scared, then forget it!"

"At least you’re acting like a man now, not like the pathetic worm you were the other night." Wang Chenning ignored the passive-aggressive tone in his voice. "Fine. Send me the address. I’ll be there."

"Yangjiang Clubhouse, the Copper Sparrow Pavilion private room." After giving the location, Li Mingchao hung up.

"Brother Chao, that guy’s way too arrogant! We have to teach him a serious lesson!" Yang Xiaodong, who was standing beside Li Mingchao, had clearly heard Wang Chenning’s words and was even more furious. "Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he’s hooked up with Luo Yuqing and Zhao Xiao’an?"

Li Mingchao ignored Yang Xiaodong’s goading and simply asked coolly, "Did he really go to your sister’s villa?"

"My sister probably wanted to talk to him about the engagement, so she let him come to her villa. Her goal was to make him realize it was hopeless and back off." In the end, Yang Xiaodong didn’t tell Li Mingchao that Wang Chenning had stayed at Yang Xiaofei’s place the previous night, nor did he mention being ordered by Wang Chenning to go buy breakfast.

’Both Wang Chenning staying at Yang Xiaofei’s place and him being ordered to buy breakfast were extremely humiliating. No one could ever find out.’

"Don’t show your face tonight, and don’t let your sister find out," Li Mingchao said with a cold sneer.

"There should be security cameras in the private room. I’ll just watch the show on the monitors!" Yang Xiaodong patted Li Mingchao on the shoulder. "Brother Chao, you’re the best. I’m sure you’ll whip that bastard into submission."

===========

At five o’clock in the afternoon, Wang Chenning took a taxi to the Yangjiang Clubhouse.

"Please present your membership card." A sharp-looking manager stopped Wang Chenning.

"I don’t have a membership card. I’m here for a meeting." Wang Chenning gave Li Mingchao’s full name, along with the room number for Copper Sparrow Pavilion.

He had assumed that after giving Li Mingchao’s name and the room number, the manager would lead him right in.

Instead, the manager told him to wait to the side with a deadpan expression. "Please wait a moment while I contact him for you."

Wang Chenning’s expression immediately turned cold. Li Mingchao had invited him here but hadn’t even bothered to give the staff a heads-up.

’Trying to put me in my place right from the start?’

’Heh.’

Wang Chenning sneered inwardly.

Wang Chenning waited for about five minutes before the manager finally came over and told him he could go in.

Figuring out what was going on, Wang Chenning didn’t get angry. He simply followed the hostess into the clubhouse.

After passing through two corridors and several keycard-activated doors, the hostess stopped at the entrance of a small, secluded courtyard.

Wang Chenning glanced at the "Copper Sparrow Pavilion" sign at the entrance, then at the exquisitely decorated courtyard, and couldn’t help but think, ’It sure is nice to be rich.’

’An ordinary person could never get into a place like this. You could do all sorts of shady things in here without causing a big stir.’

’This must be one of the reasons Li Mingchao chose this place to meet for tea.’

’Of course, that suited him just fine.’

The hostess stepped forward and knocked lightly. A man’s resonant voice came from inside: "Bring him in!"

The hostess pushed the door open, made a respectful gesture toward Wang Chenning, and then quietly retreated.

Wang Chenning strode inside and saw Li Mingchao sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor, leisurely sipping tea.

He saw him enter but didn’t even turn his head, remaining preoccupied with his tea.

The contempt and humiliation in his every gesture were self-evident.

Wang Chenning paid him no mind and sat down across from him.

"No wonder Yang Xiaofei looks down on you." Wang Chenning poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said with a smile, "You have none of the grace of a young master. You embarrass yourself thinking you’re being clever, and you’re not even that good-looking. It’d be a miracle if a proud woman like her ever gave you the time of day."

"What did you say?" Li Mingchao’s expression changed dramatically. "We’re on my turf, and you still dare to be so arrogant?"

"I said you’re trash." A smile remained on Wang Chenning’s face. "Why would Yang Xiaofei ever be interested in a piece of trash?"

"Wang Chenning, believe it or not, I can make sure you’re carried out of here horizontally." Li Mingchao’s expression flickered through several emotions before he finally sneered, "Don’t you know? For a man, running your mouth is the ultimate sign of incompetence."

"I don’t see it that way." Wang Chenning wagged his index finger, then suddenly spat a curse, "Fuck your mother!"
