179: Chapter 179: The Spoiled Young Lady 179: Chapter 179: The Spoiled Young Lady After hanging up the phone, Qian Nengde touched the corner of his eye and squeezed out some tears, boasting with a proud smile, “God Doctor Ning has agreed to come to the banquet.
Xiaorou, go greet him.”
He handed the phone to a subordinate and spoke to his daughter who was sitting opposite him.
Qian Xiaorou rolled her eyes with disdain and said, “He’s just a quack from Jianghu, is he really worth all this fuss?
I don’t see you getting this enthusiastic over the directors of provincial and municipal hospitals!”
Qian Nengde looked displeasedly at his daughter and angrily said, “What do you know?
Can God Doctor Ning be compared to those mediocre doctors?
If you don’t take good care of God Doctor Ning this time, don’t blame me if I fall out with you!”
“Alright, alright, enough nagging, I’ll go, okay?”
Qian Xiaorou stood up, and although she still looked unhappy, her father had spoken, and she didn’t have the courage to defy him completely.
After getting ready, Qian Xiaorou drove to the arranged place.
Seeing Ning Fan’s unsophisticated attire, her mood plummeted even further, and she muttered, “I really don’t know what kind of Soul Confusing drug my father has taken.
He’s just a wet-behind-the-ears kid.
Is he worth all this attention…”
“Miss, what did you say?”
Ning Fan asked with a smile.
“Ah, nothing, nothing, please, God Doctor Ning, come in.”
Qian Xiaorou put on a professional smile and perfunctorily said to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan nodded his head.
Although he had just heard Qian Xiaorou’s mutterings, since she wasn’t admitting it, he saw no need to press the issue.
However, just as he was about to sit in the passenger seat, Qian Xiaorou coldly said, “Who told you to sit here?
Sit in the back!”
Ning Fan frowned slightly, steadied himself on the car, and said somewhat displeased, “What’s the matter, weren’t you sent to pick me up?
Is this how Qian Nengde instructed you to greet me?”
“What, thinking of using my father to pressure me, are you?
Don’t think that just because the Qian family invited you for a meal, you’re important.
Sit in the back nicely, or you can get out of the car!”
“Get out of the car then.”
Ning Fan shrugged indifferently, as he wasn’t particularly keen on attending the meal.
Now, encountering an unreasonable girl, he saw even less reason to waste time with them.
“Hey, you stop right there, where are you going!”
Ning Fan’s straightforward departure caught Qian Xiaorou off guard.
She knew this invitation was critically important to her father, who had instructed her repeatedly.
If she messed it up, she would definitely be blamed by both her father and grandfather.
Thinking about this, Qian Xiaorou forcibly suppressed her irritation and showed Ning Fan a smile, asking in a gentle voice.
“Where I am going, what does it have to do with you?
I’m clearly not important in your eyes.”
Ning Fan spread his hands and said carefreely.
“God Doctor Ning, why are you in such a hurry?
I was just joking with you earlier.
Please get in the car, we’ll be late otherwise.
I was wrong earlier, I apologize to you!”
Qian Xiaorou explained, trying to be patient.
The change from aloofness to deference amused Ning Fan, kindling a desire to tease her.
“So you want me to get in the car just because you say so?
Well, I refuse.
Sorry, but I’m in a terrible mood right now and feel like taking a walk, I don’t want to ride,” he said nonchalantly.
“What would it take for you to get in the car, I’m begging you, all right?”
Checking the time on her wristwatch, Qian Xiaorou became a bit anxious.
If she didn’t bring Ning Fan over in time, her father would definitely be furious.
“It’s not much.
I’m always lenient towards beauties.
Just call me ‘dear hubby’, and I will let bygones be bygones and go with you in the car.”
A playful smile curled the corners of Ning Fan’s mouth as he spoke lightly.
“In your dreams!”
Qian Xiaorou couldn’t help but blush and rejected Ning Fan without a second thought.
“That’s a pity then, you can go back alone.
I’ll take a walk along the road, perhaps when I’m in a better mood, I’ll consider joining your banquet,”
Ning Fan said indifferently.
His rascally demeanor in Qian Xiaorou’s eyes naturally made her grind her teeth in frustration, but her father’s words were still ringing in her ears, compelling her to relent.
“Darling …
please get in the car quickly, we’re running out of time,”
Suppressing the urge to kill Ning Fan, Qian Xiaorou put on a smile and spoke to Ning Fan in a soft and gentle voice.
“That’s more like it, good girl.”
Ning Fan nodded in satisfaction, sat in the passenger seat, and even pinched Qian Xiaorou’s cheek, saying with a smile, “If only you were this obedient earlier, there wouldn’t have been any trouble.”
“I…”
Qian Xiaorou felt a surge of anger welling up in her chest and was about to explode, but she forcefully held back her rage, driving extremely fast as if venting her dissatisfaction with Ning Fan.
Upon reaching Tang Cultural Tea House where the banquet was held, Qian Xiaorou gave Ning Fan a cold look and, without minding him, walked in by herself.
Ning Fan knew that Qian Xiaorou had quite a bit of discontent with him, but he didn’t care, and he went straight in.
Inside the private room, the long-awaiting Qian Nengde immediately welcomed Ning Fan with eagerness.
“God Doctor Ning, you’ve finally arrived, please take your seat!”
Qian Nengde’s actions immediately drew the attention of many in the private room.
After all, the people here were no ordinary figures, such as Zhonghai City’s real estate tycoon Wang Jingye, chain supermarket king Bailian, and tea magnate Du Dewei—all renowned figures in Zhonghai’s commercial world!
“Heh, Old Qian, you’re not joking with us, right?
Is this really the Divine Doctor who cured your son?
Just a brash young kid, what real skills could he have?
He isn’t some swindler masquerading as a miracle worker, is he?”
Wang Jingye, never one to mince words, spoke bluntly, causing Qian Nengde’s enthusiastic smile to falter momentarily.
“You’ll see in a bit, this God Doctor Ning, he has real skills!”
Qian Nengde, displeased with Wang Jingye’s skepticism, quickly came to Ning Fan’s defense.
As for Ning Fan, he was indifferent to their attitudes and casually took a seat.
“Hey, since ancient times heroes have been young, being young and promising isn’t necessarily impossible!”
The smooth-talking Du Dewei immediately stepped in to smooth things over.
Sure enough, the atmosphere quickly livened up again.
Although everyone wasn’t enthusiastic about Ning Fan’s medical technique, out of respect for Qian Nengde, they all greeted him with feigned politeness and forced smiles.
However, once everyone had taken their seats, these business magnates naturally started whispering among themselves.
“I’m telling you, Old Qian must have been mistaken this time.
How could such a green kid, whose hair hasn’t even fully grown, be a Divine Doctor?”
The previously doubtful Wang Jingye said with disdain, sitting next to him was the supermarket king Bailian.
“I know, right?
I thought we were really going to meet a Divine Doctor this time.
Didn’t expect such a letdown.
Old Qian’s judgment is really poor this time!”
