The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 550: Chapter 550: At Master Cheng’s Command

He Zhirou snorted with laughter.

”Hahaha, that’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard. What did that ex-convict just say? An engagement gift for He Zhixuan? This is obviously my engagement gift!”

The rest of the He Family joined in her laughter.

”Cheng, did prison rot your brain? Even Pei Yuanbin is disgusted by a woman touched by an ex-convict like you. Why would President Zheng ever be interested in such a filthy woman? Why would he send He Zhixuan an engagement gift?”

”You stinking ex-con, it’s broad daylight, so stop daydreaming! If you’re still not awake, crawl back to your prison and sleep it off!”

”I’ve had enough of this! How can someone be so shameless? Does he think Special Assistant Hua is his personal slave? That she has to do whatever he says?”

...

Just as the He Family’s jeers reached their peak, Hua Qianyu suddenly stood up, strode over to Cheng Yuan, and bowed deeply. ”As you command, Master Cheng!”

Huh?

The He Family’s mocking laughter came to a screeching halt.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly from Hua Qianyu to Cheng Yuan, completely unable to process what was happening.

Special Assistant Hua was the special assistant to the President of the Duan Conglomerate—a woman second to only one and in authority over thousands!

Could someone please explain this to them!

Why was Special Assistant Hua treating an ex-convict with such respect?

And why did she keep calling him ’Master Cheng’?

Unfortunately for them, Hua Qianyu had no intention of kindly explaining anything to the He Family.

’Since Miss He Zhixuan has already been expelled from the He Family, from now on, the He Family will find it impossible to get by in Qian Province!’

”Elders, take the gifts away,” she ordered.

”Yes, ma’am!”

The two Elders acknowledged the order, snapped the briefcases shut, and turned to leave.

This sent He Zhirou into a panic.

He Zhirou scrambled forward to block the two Elders. ”What do you think you’re doing? Put down my engagement gifts!”

The two Elders shot He Zhirou a disdainful look, not even bothering to reply.

Hua Qianyu scoffed. ”He Zhirou, you really think too highly of yourself. Why would President Zheng ever be interested in an ugly hag like you?”

’Ugly hag??’

He Zhirou’s face instantly flushed red with anger.

’She was a little less stunning than He Zhixuan, sure, but she was at least as pretty as any campus belle. How could she possibly be an ugly hag?’

But no matter how furious she was, He Zhirou didn’t dare lash out at Hua Qianyu.

He Zhirou forced a smile. ”Special Assistant Hua, has this kid been fooling you? How could he possibly be some ’Master Cheng’? He’s just an ex-convict who was recently released!”

He Guosheng quickly added, ”Special Assistant Hua, I’ve looked into this kid. His father is a taxi driver, and his mother is just a temporary street worker. How could he possibly be ’Master Cheng’? You’ve definitely been tricked!”

Hua Qianyu’s tone was icy. ”I don’t need you to tell me about him. I know who Master Cheng is better than any of you! You people will probably never realize what the He Family has just lost.”

The members of the He Family looked at each other. ’Could Cheng Yuan have some hidden identity they don’t know about?’

’Otherwise, why would Special Assistant Hua hold him in such high regard?’

Xi Minglan gave Cheng Yuan a long, searching look. Her first impression of him hadn’t been bad; she simply couldn’t accept his status as an ex-convict.

’Could it be... she had truly misjudged him this time?’

Xi Minglan asked in a placating tone, ”Special Assistant Hua, could you please tell me, what is Mr. Cheng’s true identity? Why do you show him such respect?”

Hua Qianyu had a better impression of Xi Minglan, but she didn’t dare reveal Cheng Yuan’s identity without his permission.

Hua Qianyu glanced at Cheng Yuan, asking for permission with her eyes. When Cheng Yuan gave a slight nod, she finally breathed a small sigh of relief.

”Ma’am, since you’ve asked, I will tell you. Master Cheng is our Prince’s sworn brother! He is also President Zheng’s third uncle!”

BOOM!!

The news hit them like a bombshell.

The revelation was too shocking to comprehend.

Everyone in the He Family was completely stunned.

He Zhirou, in particular, refused to believe it was true.

”Impossible! Special Assistant Hua, you must be mistaken! Cheng Yuan is just an ex-convict! How could he possibly be Prince Duan’s sworn brother?”

Hua Qianyu answered truthfully, ”Because Mr. Cheng is a Divine Doctor. He cured our Young Princess.”

The He Family members stared at one another in shock.

’Cheng Yuan is a Divine Doctor?’

’Does that mean everything He Zhixuan said earlier was true?’

’That it was Cheng Yuan who defeated the Acupuncture Saint, Park Hao?’

But He Zhirou still refused to believe it. ”Special Assistant Hua, even if Cheng Yuan really is a Divine Doctor, that doesn’t make him qualified to be Prince Duan’s sworn brother!”

Hua Qianyu smiled faintly. ”Miss He has a point. But what if Mr. Cheng is also a supreme genius of the Martial Dao? Prince Duan said it himself: within ten years, Mr. Cheng will successfully attain his Dao and become the Martial Arts Venerable!”

’A supreme genius of the Martial Dao?’

’Attain his Dao?’

’Martial Arts Venerable?’

The minds of the He Family members went completely blank.

If the He Family had a Martial Arts Venerable as a son-in-law, they would become an unparalleled power in the Dragon Country!

They might even have had the chance to become a Hundred-Year-Old Gate Valve or a Thousand-Year-Old Family!

But alas, they had thrown it all away.

’What have we done?’

’We actually drove a True Dragon out of the He Family!’

Everyone in the He Family suddenly recalled Hua Qianyu’s earlier words: ’You people will probably never realize what you have just lost.’

Regret.

Endless, bottomless regret.

The members of the He Family were sick with regret.

Pei Yuanbin nearly had a heart attack when he heard the news.

’Oh, god, I tried to steal a woman from the future Martial Arts Venerable?’

’I was actually counting on Prince Duan to eliminate Cheng Yuan?’

’How did I end up offending such a terrifying figure!’

’Somebody, please, save me!’

He Zhixuan shot Cheng Yuan a playfully reproachful look. ’So that’s why you were so confident. You’re Prince Duan’s sworn brother!’

”Junior, you really kept me in the dark!”

Cheng Yuan put on an aggrieved expression. ”Senior, I never hid anything from you. I told you all this before, but you didn’t believe me. What could I do? Every single thing I’ve told you since we met again has been the absolute truth.”

He Zhixuan froze.

’It’s true.’

’He did say all those things. But at the time, she just thought her junior was spouting nonsense. She never imagined that everything he’d said was actually true!’

Suddenly, He Zhixuan felt that she wasn’t good enough for such an outstanding man.

”Junior, you’ve suddenly become so amazing... I’m feeling a lot of pressure,” she murmured.

Cheng Yuan grinned. ”Senior, don’t sell yourself short. I’m sure that if you’re given the right platform, you’ll soar.”

He Zhixuan nodded emphatically. ”Don’t worry, Junior. I’ll work as hard as I can to be a worthy partner and not hold you back.”

While the He Family was still reeling in shock and Cheng Yuan and He Zhixuan were lost in their own world, Pei Yuanbin began to quietly shrink back toward the living room window. He didn’t dare try the door.

’If I can get out of here with my life, I’ll count it as a blessing from the ancestors!’

Unfortunately for him, Cheng Yuan had no intention of letting Pei Yuanbin escape so easily.

Cheng Yuan slowly turned his head and asked faintly, ”President Pei, where do you think you’re going?”
