My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 338: The Arrogant Young Lady

Yang Qi didn't enjoy driving very much anymore. Instead, he preferred walking. While walking, he could also circulate his Spiritual Power to practice controlling it. It was quite interesting.

At that moment, his phone rang. It was Chen Guo. "President, where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up. The venue for the Elixir Medicine Conference is at Bai Mountain Manor, and this place is huge. I'm afraid you might get lost if you come alone."

"I'll be there shortly. Just have someone meet me outside," Yang Qi replied.

He thought it over; he didn't want any trouble. He knew that encountering arrogant people who looked down on others always led to endless complications. Having an acquaintance come to meet him was naturally the best option.

"Alright, thanks for your trouble!" Yang Qi agreed.

Chen Guo was overjoyed. He hurriedly called his granddaughter, telling her to go outside and receive Yang Qi immediately.

Chen Guo's granddaughter was named Chen Baixiang. She had just turned twenty-two this year and had been admitted as a medical master's student at the university in Thunder City. Since her grandfather was the vice president of the National Medicine Association, and she herself was a beautiful, high-achieving student—not to mention the campus belle—she was somewhat conceited.

Today, Chen Baixiang's university had organized a trip for students to watch the Elixir Medicine Conference and admire the National Medicine Masters' Alchemy process. She was chatting with a few classmates when her grandfather's call suddenly came through.

"Dear granddaughter, you have an opportunity now, and you must seize it. Go outside and receive someone for Grandpa. His surname is Yang, given name Qi. Don't you dare treat him lightly!"

Chen Guo's voice was cautious over the phone, terrified that his granddaughter might offend Yang Qi. After all, he had ulterior motives. Yang Qi wasn't married, which meant he was still single. If his granddaughter could catch Yang Qi's fancy, it would undoubtedly be a wonderful thing. Yang Qi's Medical Skills were superb, and he was the president of the Jingnan Prefecture National Medicine Association. A man of his status was a rare find.

However, Chen Baixiang didn't see it that way. She wasn't done having fun yet. She saw herself as a successful, independent woman from a wealthy family, so she had high standards and looked down on almost everyone. Throughout Jingnan Prefecture, she barely bothered to glance at anyone aside from the descendants of the four clans and six families.

"Grandpa, our teacher is still here, and so are all my classmates. What would it look like if I just ran out by myself? I have to be a proper host!" Chen Baixiang said, clearly annoyed. She knew what her grandfather was up to, which made her feel even more repulsed by the idea.

The friends she made at school were all young masters and young ladies from prominent families. She couldn't be bothered to associate with ordinary people. Their teacher was even more impressive, having returned from studying abroad in Kappa Country. It was said he held an important position within the Hanfang Association there. Otherwise, why would she bother being so polite to him?

"Dear granddaughter, please listen to your grandpa. I'm tied up with something right now and can't go over. Just help me out. You're just receiving someone, and he might already be at the entrance."

Chen Guo doted on this granddaughter more than anyone and was unwilling to say a single harsh word to her. His tone was almost pleading.

Although Chen Baixiang was reluctant, she couldn't refuse her grandfather's earnest request. After all, he had always treated her exceptionally well. She couldn't be heartless. So, she said a few words to the young masters and ladies, informed her teacher, and prepared to leave.

"Who's so important that our campus belle, Chen Baixiang, has to go greet him personally? You're Chen Guo's granddaughter, the eldest young lady of the Chen Family!"

"Yeah, doesn't he have legs? Can't he walk in by himself?"

"Could it be a young master from one of the four clans and six families?" someone guessed.

"Impossible!" Chen Baixiang shook her head. "This guy's name is Yang Qi, and there's no Yang family among the four clans and six families."

"With my years of experience as a teacher," their teacher, Zhang Gong, laughed, "this Yang Qi is probably the son of one of your grandfather's old friends. Don't tell me your grandfather arranged a marriage for you from birth? Tsk, tsk, to think such things still happen these days. That's so archaic."

"Hahaha, I think Teacher Zhang is right. Baixiang, don't go. Just leave him hanging, and he'll know when to get lost!" said Tian Lili, a girl she was usually close with.

Chen Baixiang grew anxious. "If that's the case, I'd rather die! An arranged marriage? I hate that more than anything! I don't even know what backwater village he crawled out of. He has some nerve. Forget it, let's not talk about it. My grandfather is rushing me, so I have to go meet him."

"Baixiang, I advise you not to go!" Tian Lili said. "If you get tangled up with someone like that, it'll be nothing but trouble. You might not be able to shake him off."

"I also advise you not to go," Zhang Gong added. "How about this? Since I'm free anyway, I'll go for you. If he seems decent, I'll bring him in. If not, I'll just pretend I don't know him. Your grandfather loves you so much. He wouldn't make a fuss over such a small matter."

"That would be great! Teacher, thank you so much for helping me. You're our teacher, you have a sharp eye. Please give him a good look for me," Chen Baixiang said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Zhang Gong chuckled. "You all wait here for Young Master Chuyun Xiong. I'll introduce you to him in a moment. Compared to him, those so-called young masters from the four clans and six families are nothing!"

"Really?" Everyone grew excited, especially Chen Baixiang.

She had always felt that no man was worthy of her. This Chuyun Xiong was the Young Master of the Hanfang Association in Kappa Country, and the Hanfang Association was a multinational corporation. Compared to a man like that, Thunder City's four clans and six families were nothing special. Their power struggles were just petty infighting. Chuyun Xiong was a truly influential figure.

At the entrance of Bai Mountain Manor, Yang Qi stood chewing gum and peering inside. He waited for over twenty minutes before someone finally walked out.

The man appeared to be in his forties and looked Yang Qi up and down. "You're Yang Qi?"

"Correct," Yang Qi nodded. "And you are?"

Zhang Gong sneered faintly. Looks like I guessed right. Baixiang's grandfather must be going senile; how could he take a liking to a man like this? With his shabby appearance, how could he possibly be a match for Chen Baixiang?

He then looked at Yang Qi and said, "You don't have to wait. Baixiang is chatting with her friends. You can go back the way you came. She's not coming out to see you. A person needs to have some self-awareness. It's best to understand your own situation. Here, this is fifty yuan. Take it for a taxi."

Zhang Gong casually tossed fifty yuan, not into Yang Qi's hand, but directly onto the ground.

Yang Qi frowned. This man was incredibly rude.

He immediately picked up the money and, with a flick of his wrist, sent the bill flying straight into Zhang Gong's pocket. "She's not coming, but couldn't even be bothered to call and say so? I was left waiting for nearly half an hour. And you! If you're going to throw money at people, at least throw a little more. Fifty yuan? Are you trying to shoo away a beggar?"

"Heh, getting angry, are you?" Zhang Gong scoffed. "Fine, don't take it then, you idiot!"

He turned and walked back into Bai Mountain Manor, paying Yang Qi no more mind. In any case, he had already clarified the situation for Chen Baixiang. The rest had nothing to do with him.
