Medical and Martial God

Chapter 373: Chapter 373: The Astounding Secret

”Huh?”

Lu Zewei was completely baffled, unsure how to respond to Ye Xiu’s question.

According to standard social etiquette, after I said I was happy to meet him, shouldn’t he have offered some pleasantries in return?

However, he quickly recovered and said, ”Divine Doctor Ye, you are the Medicine King of Xuanse, the most sought-after person in all of Xuanse right now. To be able to meet you is a true joy and an immense honor for me.”

Ye Xiu stared at Lu Zewei for three seconds before saying, ”Since you’re so happy, sing a song to express your feelings.”

”Huh?”

Lu Zewei was baffled once again. This Divine Doctor’s train of thought is so strange. But he still asked, ”It would be my honor to sing for you, Divine Doctor Ye. What would you like to hear?”

Ye Xiu thought for a moment. ”Do you know ’Little Conch Shell’?”

Lu Zewei was at a loss for words. Is the Divine Doctor really this childish?

He hastily replied, ”Yes, yes, I do!”

”Then get to it,” Ye Xiu said.

”Oh, okay...” Lu Zewei nodded repeatedly.

Meanwhile, the expressions on the Qin family members’ faces turned incredibly sour, especially those of Qin Qing’s grandparents, uncle, and aunt.

By making Lu Zewei sing such a song in public, Ye Xiu was clearly humiliating him.

It’s over, it’s all over! This is the end of whatever was starting between Qin Anruo and Lu Zewei!

”Ye Xiu, Lu Zewei is my future brother-in-law! What do you mean by humiliating him in public? Are you trying to disgrace the Qin family?” Qin Anruo’s brother, Qin Junyi, slammed his hands on the table and shot to his feet, shouting angrily.

Just as Qin Fugui and Qin Anruo’s family were about to join in, they saw Ye Xiu wave his hand. To their astonishment, Qin Junyi was lifted into the air and flew toward Ye Xiu.

SLAP!

Ye Xiu struck Qin Junyi across the face. ”Is that how you speak to your brother-in-law?”

”You—you dare hit me?” Qin Junyi raged. ”Who the hell said you’re my brother-in-law? The Qin family would never—”

CRACK!

Ye Xiu grabbed Qin Junyi’s left hand and snapped his wrist.

”AHH—”

Qin Junyi let out a pig-slaughtering scream, his body convulsing in agony as cold sweat drenched him.

Lu Zewei stared dumbfounded at the unfolding tragedy, completely unable to comprehend what had made the Divine Doctor so furious.

Seeing how brutally Ye Xiu had broken Qin Junyi’s wrist, the members of the Qin family who had been about to speak fell silent, the words dying in their throats.

No one dared to utter a word.

They had previously assumed Ye Xiu would show consideration for Qin Qing and wouldn’t dare harm or kill any of them.

Now they realized they were wrong.

Terribly wrong.

Ye Xiu was completely lawless.

”Let out one more peep, and I’ll break your other arm,” Ye Xiu snapped.

Qin Junyi choked, instantly clamping his mouth shut. He didn’t dare cry out again, even as the veins on his forehead bulged and his body trembled violently in pain, sweat streaming down his face.

”Kneel and call me brother-in-law,” Ye Xiu ordered coldly.

Qin Junyi crashed to his knees before Ye Xiu. ”Brother-in-law.”

”If you ever dare call me by my name again, I’ll bash your damn head in,” Ye Xiu scolded. ”Now, hurry up and get to a hospital.”

”I’ll take him!” Qin Zhongwu said, rising to his feet.

”I’ll go too...”

”Me too...”

The Qin family members all stood, ready to escort Qin Junyi to the hospital.

”All of you, sit down. He can go by himself,” Ye Xiu said coldly.

The family members immediately sat back down, trembling.

As for Qin Junyi, he fled the private room as if escaping for his life.

Ye Xiu walked over to Qin Qing’s father, Qin Zhongwen, and took his left hand to check his pulse.

Qin Zhongwen let out a terrified yelp, thinking Ye Xiu was about to break his hand. He was about to struggle, but Ye Xiu had already let go.

Ye Xiu then took the right hand of Qin Qing’s mother, Wu Meiyu, and checked her pulse for a moment.

The scene left everyone present bewildered but deeply impressed.

Qin Qing, in particular, noticed that after Ye Xiu checked her parents’ pulses, his expression became incredibly grim.

She couldn’t help but ask, ”What’s wrong? Are my parents sick?”

”They’re in perfect health!” Ye Xiu said with a smile, but inside, a storm raged within him.

In truth, I arrived at the same time as Qin Qing and was listening from outside. When the Qin family was pressuring her, a thought suddenly struck me... Is Qin Qing really the biological daughter of Qin Zhongwen and Wu Meiyu? I couldn’t help but wonder. The Qin family dotes on Qin Anruo and Qin Junyi, but their attitude toward Qin Qing is nothing short of deplorable. It’s been that way for the ten years I’ve known her. In the entire Qin family, only Wu Meiyu has ever shown Qin Qing genuine care. So, to confirm my suspicion, I checked Qin Zhongwen and Wu Meiyu’s pulses. The result? Damn it. Qin Zhongwen was congenitally infertile. This means Qin Qing isn’t Qin Zhongwen’s biological daughter. Could she be the daughter of Wu Meiyu and some guy named Wang? This secret... If I were to reveal it, a divorce between Qin Zhongwen and Wu Meiyu would be certain, and Qin Qing might not be able to handle the truth.

”Young Master, please sit,” Chloe said, standing to offer Ye Xiu her seat.

”You go sit where Qin Junyi was,” Ye Xiu said as he sat down.

”Yes!” Chloe walked over to Qin Junyi’s former seat and sat down.

”So, the Qin family is gathered today. Is it for a happy occasion?”

Ye Xiu smiled as he scanned the room, his gaze finally landing on Qin Fugui.

Qin Fugui tensed up and said, bracing himself, ”Well, Anruo found a boyfriend, this young man here, Lu Zewei, the young master of the Lu Family from Chunhua City. I organized this family dinner so everyone could meet him.”

”It’s just a family dinner, nothing more,” Qin Anruo added with a nervous laugh.

”I got here at the same time as Qin Qing. I was outside and heard every word you said,” Ye Xiu stated calmly.

A stunned silence fell over the Qin family members, their faces burning with collective embarrassment.

Ye Xiu looked at Lu Zewei. ”You’re Lu Zewei? Lu Runtao’s son?”

”Yes!” Lu Zewei nodded, looking extremely tense.

”What brings you to Jin Ye City?” Ye Xiu asked.

”The news of your partnership with the Qingfeng Road Bao Family to enter the global medical field is known everywhere. My father sent me to Jin Ye City to try my luck and see if there was any possibility of cooperating with you,” Lu Zewei said frankly.

At least he’s honest.

”So you confessed to Qin Anruo, hoping to get to me through her?” Ye Xiu asked.

”No, please don’t misunderstand!” Lu Zewei said, becoming agitated. ”It’s true that I hoped to meet you through Qin Anruo, but I am not using her. I genuinely like her.”

Qin Anruo beamed, her heart fluttering at his words.

”You’ve only met her once before, and this is the second time. You already like her?” Ye Xiu inquired.

Lu Zewei’s face flushed. ”Actually,” he said shyly, ”I liked her from the first moment I saw her, but she had a boyfriend back then. When I came to Jin Ye City this time, I heard she was single. I decided to take a chance and confess, and I never expected her to accept.”

Ye Xiu squinted at Lu Zewei. He doesn’t seem to be lying. Could he really like Qin Anruo? He must be blind as a bat.

”Do you truly know Qin Anruo? Are you certain she accepted you because she likes you, and not because she’s interested in your status as the young master of the Lu Family?” Ye Xiu questioned.
