Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 661: Chapter 660: What are the benefits of cucumbers?

However, soon after, Ye Haochuan felt a bit dissatisfied. Elder Kou really was something, knowing that he and his granddaughter had long formed a mutual attachment and even had a relationship, yet he still played this trick. It was clearly a slap in my face.

The meaning behind Elder Kou’s words was also picked up by many people in the hall, immediately causing a stir.

Especially the young doctors who also dedicated their lives to medical service, their interest was piqued. For them, Kou Jing, whether in terms of figure, appearance, or temperament, was a top choice. Securing this ice rose would definitely be a great achievement!

Kou Jing obviously knew her grandfather would propose this, and though she was prepared, she still blushed deeply, unable to help but coquettishly complain, ”Grandfather, you—”

Elder Kou stroked his beard and smiled, ”A man should marry and a woman should wed when it’s time. You’re not getting any younger. You can’t keep delaying. You’ve said you hope your future partner shares your ideals and has some proficiency in medicine. Well, with so many young talents present today, you can choose one outstanding person and fulfill your grandfather’s wish...”

Kou Jing reluctantly said, ”But Grandfather, isn’t this a bit hasty? Being skilled in medicine doesn’t mean everything. What if the person has a bad character? Then what?”

”Character, well, that can be discussed. With more interaction over time, if it turns out they have a bad character, you can simply break up,” Elder Kou said with a beaming smile, then glanced around the hall and loudly asked, ”What do you say? Any young person here brave enough to give it a try?”

With that statement, the hall became even livelier.

Though Elder Kou’s words were convoluted, their implication made people wonder and speculate.

Soon enough, young individuals willing to compete in medical skills took the stage, numbering about ten.

However, there were also some middle-aged men, wishing above their station, who shamelessly took the stage. This incited laughter from the crowd below and then they were emphatically booed off the stage.

With things having reached this point, Kou Jing had no choice but to comply. However, noticing that Ye Haochuan was not among those on the stage, her previously light mood instantly became tense. That deadbeat, failing at a crucial moment!

In her anxiety, she cast her gaze towards Ye Haochuan below the stage, but to her annoyance, he was nonchalantly eating pig’s feet, appearing completely unconcerned and hanging her out to dry, totally disregarding his grandfather’s words.

I’m so mad, I’m so mad!

Kou Jing gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could go down, grab his ears, and give him a good beating.

But how could she dare to do such a thing under the watchful eyes of all these people?

At that moment, Elder Kou glanced over the young men on the stage, nodded, then shook his head, and looked at the crowd below, his dim old eyes settling on Ye Haochuan, who was still eating pig’s feet. He couldn’t help but feel both amused and irritated. This rascal, do you really think this old man doesn’t know about the mess between you and my granddaughter? Today, without this drastic measure, how else would I get you to commit?

Indeed, with his decades of medical experience, how could he not notice that his granddaughter was no longer untouched? After privately inquiring and understanding the matter, he found out it was Ye Haochuan’s doing.

He greatly admired Ye Haochuan and valued his medical skills. Naturally, he was happy to have him as his granddaughter’s husband.

However, it was infuriating that this lad kept avoiding making it official. His granddaughter, Jingjing, also hadn’t brought him over to meet her, so he thought of using the birthday celebration as a way to force the young man to make his position clear.

Who would have thought that this lad would play dumb today, munching on pig’s feet down there!

Thinking this, he said loudly, ”Doctor Ye, your medical skills are pretty good, why don’t you come up and compete with everyone?”

Hearing Elder Kou speak like this, all eyes in the venue suddenly turned towards Ye Haochuan.

My, Old Master Kou is clearly doing this on purpose!

Ye Haochuan felt so annoyed. He had already made up his mind, what about a challenge? Did that mean Kou Jing, this little girl, would fly out of his palm? No way he’d fall for that!

”Heh heh, Old Master Kou, I’m just a humble school doctor, my medical skills, as you well know, are quite unsophisticated, quite unsophisticated. How can I compare to these young talents present here? Better to keep my tail between my legs and stay out of it, to avoid making a fool of myself,” he said.

Ye Haochuan put on an air of ”modesty.”

Upon hearing this, many in the hall couldn’t help but smile.

Especially the young talents on the stage, they all showed looks of disdain. A school doctor? And they call that a doctor? It’s hilariously absurd!

Only Tang Zhen on the stage looked very nervous. Others might not know Ye Haochuan’s true capabilities, but he did. If this guy really joined the competition, where would that leave him?

When Kou Jing heard this, she almost wanted to kick Ye Haochuan to death. This dead man, showing off again.

Elder Kou was also laughing and crying at the same time. This kid, as slippery as an eel. While everyone else was desperate to win my granddaughter’s favor, here you are, acting indifferent, truly frustrating. No way, I must drag you into this today, or my old man’s scheming would be wasted.

”No worries, no worries, I trust Doctor Ye’s medical skills. It won’t hurt; let Doctor Ye give it a try,” Old Master Kou said with a smile.

”Is that really okay? What if I end up winning by accident? That would be so embarrassing,” Ye Haochuan shamelessly said, smiling.

Upon hearing his words, all the young talents on the stage frowned. Damn, isn’t this guy too arrogant? Winning? As if it’s that easy? Do they think we don’t exist?

Immediately, a young man on the stage who couldn’t stay calm scoffed, ”Ye... a school doctor, right? At least you know your place. A mere school doctor, better not interfere and save yourself the embarrassment of losing later.”

He intentionally emphasized the words ”school doctor,” obviously trying to make Ye Haochuan uncomfortable.

On hearing this, except for a few calm individuals, everyone else shook their heads. Just a school doctor wanting to compete, completely clueless!

Seeing the reaction from those on stage, Ye Haochuan felt very upset. Damn, I originally didn’t plan to do much, but this idiot made it so that I have to go on stage.

”Hey, brother, what’s your name?” Ye Haochuan smiled at the young man.

The young man proudly said, ”Song Wei, graduated with a PhD in Medicine from XX University.”

The crowd burst into whispers. Good heavens, a PhD in Medicine, that’s impressive!

And amongst those on stage who were participating in the competition, some with lower educational achievements suddenly felt ashamed.

So, just because you are a PhD in Medicine you think you are incredible?

Seeing the amazed reactions from the crowd, Ye Haochuan, unconvinced, smiled: ”Brother Song Wei, you can’t say it like that. What’s wrong with being a school doctor? Is a school doctor not a doctor? Let me tell you, school doctors might know things this PhD in Medicine wouldn’t know. Let me ask you a simple question, what are the benefits of cucumbers?”

By the end, he couldn’t help but smirk cheekily.
