The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine-Chapter 743 - : Why Should I Prove It to You?

Chapter 743: Chapter 743: Why Should I Prove It to You?

Chu Tingting led Huang Xiaolong and Jing Xiaoxi back home.

They knocked on the door.

The door was opened by a pretty woman, who looked a bit like Chu Tingting but with a softer and more graceful presence.

No need to guess, she was Chu Tingting’s biological mother.

“Tingting! You’re back!” Mother Chu’s eyes instantly lit up with joy at the sight of Chu Tingting. She stepped aside quickly. “Come in, your dad’s here too.”

“What’s he here for?” Chu Tingting entered with a hint of displeasure.

...

Huang Xiaolong followed Chu Tingting with a cheerful expression on his face, while Jing Xiaoxi walked behind him, her head bowed.

“Oh?” Mother Chu glanced at Huang Xiaolong and seemed to ponder in thought. “Please come in, please come in.”

The house was rather spacious, with four bedrooms and two living rooms and two large balconies at front and back, covering about 300 square meters. Quite impressive indeed.

On the living room sofa, there sat a middle-aged man, drinking tea.

He had the look of a mature and handsome man without any sign of weight gain, exuding a sense of calmness. It was evident he was not a common man. In his youth, he seemed like a Casanova, very popular among women.

That must be Chu Tingting’s father. The man who her mother said had taken her mother away, a man of heartbreaking faithlessness.

Yet, judging from his appearance, he didn’t seem like a wicked man. Huang Xiaolong took a second glance and found that Chu Tingting’s father could be considered a good man.

Looking back at Mother Chu, there was a faint trace of resentment in her brows. But in contrast, there was no hatred towards Father Chu, but rather a sense of satisfaction and compliance.

It looked like they had feelings for each other. The past claims of Father Chu forcibly taking away Mother Chu might not be entirely true. However, that was none of Huang Xiaolong’s business.

“Tingting, you’re back? Since it’s your grandfather’s 80th birthday, you should have returned earlier.” Father Chu looked up at Chu Tingting with a glimpse of sternness in his gaze, but his deep affection for her was undeniable.

Chu Tingting responded indifferently. “I just got back, I’m a bit tired. If there’s nothing else, you can go. I need to rest.”

“Tingting, you’ve been teaching in Binhai alone, and neither your mother nor I feel at ease about it. Listen, your grandfather has agreed you can come back to Ma City and take up a deputy role in Chu Group. It’s an opportunity that your grandfather and I tried hard to secure.” Father Chu urged fervently.

“No, thanks. I’m happy teaching in Binhai. I can support myself.” Chu Tingting showed cold indifference.

“Tingting, are you still mad at me?” Father Chu sighed, “True, I haven’t been able to take care of you and your mother over the years. You both have suffered ridicule and humiliation from others in our family…I owe you an apology. I have my difficulties. Besides, now I’m doing all I can to make it up to you. Tingting, your grandfather and I have found you a boyfriend. Why don’t you meet him on your grandfather’s birthday? He’s from the Mi family…”

“Stop!” Chu Tingting cried out. But deep in her heart, she felt a sense of satisfaction. ‘I had the foresight to bring Little Long back. If not, I would have been annoyed…The young master from Mi family? I don’t fancy him at all!’

“Sorry for your kindness, grandpa, but I don’t need you guys to introduce a boyfriend to me. I…I…I already have a boyfriend.” Chu Tingting admitted, inevitably feeling a bit shy and nervous. This was her first time bringing a boyfriend home to meet her parents.

“Oh?” Only then did Father Chu finally turn his gaze to Huang Xiaolong. He noticed Jing Xiaoxi as well, but didn’t immediately recognize her, only feeling that she looked familiar.

Father Chu didn’t bother trying to remember where he might have seen Jing Xiaoxi before, as his attention was fully focused on Huang Xiaolong. He was very concerned about the boyfriend his daughter had chosen. “You’re Tingting’s boyfriend?”

“Yes, I am.” Huang Xiaolong replied with a grin.

“You seem a bit younger than Tingting. What do you do for a living?” Father Chu interrogated, scrutinizing Huang Xiaolong closely with sharp eyes.

“Me? I have many identities. Generally speaking, in city folks’ terms, I am a freelancer.” Huang Xiaolong replied with a smile.

“In other words…You don’t have a formal job?” Father Chu’s face immediately darkened.

“Oh…Don’t rush…Don’t talk so loudly, what if you frighten Tingting’s boyfriend?” Mother Chu intervened cautiously.

“What boyfriend? I, as her father, haven’t even agreed to it yet!” Father Chu looked extremely displeased.

“My relationship with Little Long is mutual, and moreover, it’s none of your business who I date,” Chu Tingting voiced aloud.

“This…” Father Chu’s face softened slightly, he then turned to Huang Xiaolong. “Young man, I must have seemed quite rude just now, but let me explain. Tingting is a good girl, who I’ve overlooked since childhood because of various reasons, I feel absolutely guilty about it. I owe her and her mother a lot and I’ve been trying to make it up to her. I hope that Tingting can live a good life. As a parent, I have vanity too. I hope Tingting can marry well, live a life free of worries about food and clothing, and lead a wealthy life. Yes, I’m that vulgar. I owe too much to Tingting in this life, and I can’t bear to see her marry a young man who is still fighting for his future. There are many people in Chu family who are waiting to laugh at Tingting, I can’t give them this opportunity!”

“Young man, once, you become a parent, you will understand how I feel right now. I am very sorry, but I can’t agree to let my daughter be with you.” Father Chu’s attitude was extremely sincere.

Chu Tingting was about to argue when Huang Xiaolong signaled her to remain silent.

Huang Xiaolong replied calmly, “First, Tingting marrying me doesn’t necessarily mean she has married poorly. Secondly, this time when Tingting returns to Ma City, she won’t be laughed at. On the contrary, I’ll help her regain the dignity she has lost over the years.”

“Humph! All words and no action!” Father Chu uttered, his eyes flickering. “Your words are too ostentatious! The more you talk like this, the less at ease I feel about entrusting Tingting to you!”

“You…you should not interfere in Tingting’s personal life. Introducing a man from the Mi family to her does not mean she’ll like him. Moreover, it’s said ‘once you’re in the wealthy world, it’s deep as the sea’… I…isn’t that what happened to me? I don’t want Tingting to follow in my footsteps.” As she spoke, Mother Chu began to choke up, wiping away her tears.

At her words, Father Chu relented and sighed. “Young man, it’s not that I look down on you, but unless you can provide some proof of your… abilities.”

After all, Father Chu was no ordinary person. On seeing Huang Xiaolong for the first time, he felt the young man before him was clear-eyed and probably not a bad person. But at the same time, Huang Xiaolong didn’t seem to present himself as someone with a strong background. According to Father Chu’s experience, he was probably just an ordinary young man.

If he lacked a strong background, then the next criterion by which to judge him would be his abilities.

“Why should I prove anything to you?” Huang Xiaolong retorted disdainfully.

“Exactly, Xiaolong is a very capable person. He doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone.” Chu Tingting added, her face filled with displeasure.

Just then, the sound of commotion and a woman’s shrill crying drifted up from downstairs.

“That’s…that’s Sister Zhang’s voice. Why is she crying? Has something happened?” Mother Chu exclaimed, then quickly turned and rushed out the door toward the stairs.

“Sister Zhang is a good neighbor. Xiaolong, let’s go downstairs and see if we can help.” Chu Tingting grabbed Huang Xiaolong and they ran out.

Jing Xiaoxi naturally followed Huang Xiaolong.

After thinking it over, Father Chu stood up and walked out as well.

Downstairs.

At this moment, a crowd was gathered around a young woman. In her arms, a boy about six or seven years old laid. On his right wrist, there were traces resembling bite marks. Around this spot, his skin had turned a faint purple, a shocking sight. Even more alarming was that the boy’s entire right arm had begun to swell.

“Quickly, dial 120 for an ambulance! The child seems to have been bitten by something, probably a snake. And likely a poisonous one.” An anxious bystander exclaimed.

“Sister Zhang, what happened?” Mother Chu quickly rushed over, squatting down and examining the boy’s right hand. “Oh dear, was Liangliang bitten by something? This looks terrifying, have you called an ambulance yet?”

“Auntie Chu…” The little boy spoke in a clear voice. However, his face was flushed. When Chu Tingting touched his forehead, it was already warm!

“This is bad, the child has a high fever! It appears he had been bitten some time ago. Why didn’t we notice it earlier?” Mother Chu was also very anxious.

“He was bitten by a centipede.” Huang Xiaolong casually strolled over. “Let me heal him.”

“Tingting!” Father Chu’s face turned stern, “quickly tell your boyfriend to step back! Don’t be reckless! This kind of thing should be left to a doctor. Look at the child’s swollen hand, if he messes up and the situation becomes worse, he might be held responsible! Tingting, look what kind of boyfriend you’ve chosen. He’s too impulsive! Why didn’t you choose someone more reliable? Someone who can take care of you!”

“Could you stop saying all these useless things, please?” Chu Tingting retorted impatiently.

“Can you heal him?” Both Mother Chu and Sister Zhang looked up at Huang Xiaolong, their faces pleading with him for help.

“This is quite simple.” Huang Xiaolong smiled, walked over to the flower garden, and picked up an insect from a leaf.

It was a slug, commonly known as a snot bug.

Huang Xiaolong held the slug in his hand, returned to the little boy’s side, and squatted down. “Here, let me treat this little buddy.”

“What… what are you going to treat Liangliang with?” Sister Zhang was completely perplexed.

“With this.” Huang Xiaolong held Liangliang’s hand, laughing as he placed the snot bug on the bite wound.

“This is a snot bug!” Sister Zhang was in a panic.

When Huang Xiaolong first approached, Sister Zhang thought he was a doctor capable of treating Liangliang. But she had never expected that he would bring over a snot bug!

Was he joking?

“Enough with the nonsense! Tingting, immediately, right away, tell him to stop making a fool of himself! This is not just embarrassing, but it also delays the best treatment time for this child. If anything happens, he’ll not escape responsibility! He may even be sued!” Father Chu exclaimed in panic.
