Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 651 - 631: Don’t Celebrate Too Early_2
Chapter 651: Chapter 631: Don’t Celebrate Too Early_2
Tangyu was somewhat embarrassed. If it had been a young girl who was so pure, that would have been one thing, but this was a fifty-something-year-old auntie. She couldn’t possibly be as pure as a sheet of white paper, could she?
"Ahem, I just haven’t been exercising enough lately," Huangfu Jing’s dad said quickly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Anyway, Tangyu is here, and he is a Divine Doctor, after all. It’s always good to have him take a look, better safe than sorry, right? Such an opportunity is something other people can’t even beg for," Huangfu Jing’s mom said, still oblivious to the ambiguity of her earlier words.
"Uncle Huangfu is very healthy, just with a bit of an excess in liver heat, which might be related to recent moods. It’s not a big issue, as long as he keeps his emotions in check and follows some treatments," Tangyu said.
"Oh, so that’s how it is, as long as there’s nothing serious then that’s good. Hehe, let’s eat, let’s eat," Huangfu Jing’s mom said.
The meal was indeed very casual, with a homely feeling, as the five of them laughed and talked, eating and chatting—there was a harmonious atmosphere.
"Huangfu Jing, it seems I’m quite popular in your family," Tangyu whispered to Huangfu Jing with a somewhat smug look.
Huangfu Jing glanced at Tangyu. The fact that he had received such a warm welcome from her family had slightly surprised her. It was very difficult for someone to be so appreciated by her grandfather and father, the most authoritative men in the Huangfu family of the Capital City. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that even their own sons and grandsons might not be as favored. Yet Tangyu had successfully won over her grandfather and father—if word got out, it would definitely cause quite a stir.
At least Huangfu Jing herself had never encountered such a situation before.
"Don’t get too pleased with yourself, you just happened to win my grandfather and father’s favor," Huangfu Jing said.
"Heh, with them, that’s enough. I should probably include your mother as well, they can represent your whole family. I don’t care about anyone else," Tangyu chuckled.
Huangfu Jing turned her head away, ignoring him.
"Wow, we’ve got guests over today, quite lively, isn’t it?" a resonant voice suddenly carried over, and a man in his early twenties approached. He had a confident air and looked quite impressive. His build wasn’t particularly tall and imposing, but it was well-proportioned, which seemed to suit a man well. His handsome appearance felt quite compelling—appearing dressed like a celebrity adds to one’s charm. It was clear that he had the manner of a privileged young master, exuding an air of superiority. His elongated face held a hint of defiance, revealing his arrogant nature. But that was to be expected from the young master of one of the six major families of Capital City, the Huangfu family. Where would he be without a shred of pride?
If he didn’t have it, that indeed would be strange.
"Status determines temperament," they say, and there is some truth in it.
The newcomer was the third young master of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Qingyu, known as the "Defiant Young Master." His defiance was well-known in the upper echelons of Capital City society. Though defiant, he wasn’t aimless like Yu Lingyi from the Yu family; in fact, he was a capable older brother with a certain status in the Crown Prince Hall and widespread connections in Capital City. Besides, he had his own business ventures outside. Even though he wasn’t the head brother of the Huangfu family, he was definitely not to be underestimated.
Huangfu Qingyu’s gaze quickly landed on Tangyu. Of course, he recognized Tangyu and paused for a moment before he began to mock, "Who did I think it was, I thought some important guest had arrived. It turns out to be a junior doctor. Tell me, Grandfather, Uncle, since when did the Huangfu family’s threshold become so low? Are we now dining with any sort of people in our family’s dining room?"
Tangyu couldn’t help but purse his lips, annoyed. Huangfu Jing had just finished speaking, and he didn’t expect someone who disliked him to make such a forceful entrance. Was this what they called a self-inflicted blow? But Tangyu didn’t believe in such nonsense.
"Qingyu, what are you talking about? Tangyu is my friend, and he saved my life. I invited him to our home as a guest. What are you implying by speaking that way?" Huangfu Jing said, clearly displeased.
"Oh, Princess, it turns out you brought him. I was wondering whose taste had sunk so low as to bring anyone into our home. If he saved you, he’s your benefactor, so you could have just treated him to a meal outside, no need to bring him home. If this gets out, I’m afraid there will be idle gossip about our Huangfu family, which you might tolerate, but I certainly can’t," Huangfu Qingyu said.
"Qingyun, you’ve gone too far. I won’t allow you to speak about my friend that way. If you don’t like it, don’t look," Huangfu Qingyun said.
But Huangfu Qingyun replied with a face full of scorn, "I’m just considering the dignity of our Huangfu family."
"Shut up, it’s my invitation," the old master finally spoke up, frowning and speaking sternly, his presence demanding respect from everyone.
Hearing Elder Huangfu speak, Huangfu Qingyun obediently shut his mouth, "Since it’s someone grandfather invited, then let it go."
"Tangyu, don’t mind him, he’s just like that, can’t get along with anyone, just ignore him and it’ll be fine," Huangfu Jing said.
"Yeah, Tangyu, don’t take it to heart, he didn’t mean any harm," Huangfu Jing’s father added.
Tangyu pursed her lips, what could she do if she did take it to heart, could she possibly create some kind of unpleasantness with the Huangfu family while being a guest? So, she could only be more generous.
"Grandfather, Mom and Dad, we should take our leave now," Huangfu Jing said.
Before Elder Huangfu had the chance to speak, Huangfu Qingyu said, "Princess Jing, don’t be in such a hurry to go, it’s rare to see you, are you free today, if you are, I can take you to the Prince’s Mansion to have some fun."
Huangfu Jing looked coldly at Huangfu Qingyu, this guy had just been sarcastically mocking Tangyu, so why had his attitude changed now?
"Why are you looking at me like that, I’m still your brother after all, is there something discordant about me inviting you out to play? You’re not suspecting my motives for this as well, are you? We are, after all, family," Huangfu Qingyu said.
"No, I just don’t want to go," Huangfu Jing said.
"Aren’t you trying to entertain your benefactor? You’re not planning to just keep him entertained at home all the time, are you? It’s his first time in the Capital City, don’t you think it’s necessary for you to show him around and let him appreciate our Capital City’s scenery?" Huangfu Qingyu suggested.
Elder Huangfu said, "Jing, since Qingyu wants to take you guys out, then go ahead. It’s Tangyu’s first time in the Capital City, you should indeed show him around."
Since grandfather had spoken, Huangfu Jing naturally could not refuse any longer, "Alright then, let’s go. But if you speak rudely to my friend again, I won’t be polite," she warned.
Huangfu Qingyu responded with a smirk, "You should know my temper by now."
"Let’s go," said Huangfu Jing coldly.
Going out to appreciate the scenery of the Capital City was indeed a good idea, and Tangyu was very willing.
"What place is the Prince’s Mansion?" Tangyu asked.
"It’s the place where they, the so-called Crown Prince Hall, gather for amusement," Huangfu Jing explained.
"Oh, then it seems worth a visit," Tangyu said with a smile, feeling that it was indeed necessary for her to visit the place, who knows, there might be unexpected gains.
Huangfu Qingyu drove a globally limited edition Aston Martin supercar, whose price in Huaxia Country had reached the astronomical sum of fifteen million, with only fifteen cars publicly sold in the entire Huaxia, and Huangfu Qingyu owned one. Of course, he did not use the Huangfu family’s money to indulge in such a luxury car but earned the money through his own business dealings outside, so the Huangfu family had nothing to say about his extravagance. Other playboys squandered their family’s fortune, while Huangfu Qingyu squandered the fortune he made himself, which was quite different in nature.
"Princess Jing, how about riding in my car? I’ll let you experience the thrill of ultimate speed," Huangfu Qingyu offered.
"No need, I don’t like it, my own car is more reliable," Huangfu Jing flatly refused.
Huangfu Qingyu sneered, "Your broken car, what’s so comfortable about it? It’s as slow as a snail when it moves. I find it slow even if you don’t. Forget it, I’ll go ahead. You know the way, I’ll wait for you at the entrance, don’t make me wait too long." After saying that, Huangfu Qingyu jumped into his car, and soon the roar of the wild engine resounded, and the car shot out like a rocket.
"This guy, really never changes," Huangfu Jing shook her head.
