During the meal, Gu Qingqing had praised Chu Bei many times, saying that she had a deep relationship with her daughter and had known her for a long time.
In any case, he had flipped through the history of Chu Bei and Ouyang Jing together.
Chu Bei listened and did not say anything. He did not have any thoughts towards Ouyang Jing in the first place.
There were also people who asked when they would get married, causing Chu Bei to have no choice but to use the excuse of developing his career to confuse these people's concerns towards his private life.
Other than Gu Qingqing, who was the happiest person at the table, there was also Dean Zhang from Hiulong County.
It had to be known that Chu Bei was now his subordinate. This report was made in the name of the Hiulong County Doctor, representing Hiulong County.
Subconsciously, Chu Bei's report on the topic of surgery brought honor to Hulong County Hospital, and also brought honor to him, as its Principal.
Therefore, when they were drinking at the table, Dean Zhang was especially enthusiastic and kept praising Chu Bei.
After a few cups of wine, he described all of Chu Bei's results at Hiulong County once.
Of course, while depicting Chu Bei contributing to Hulong County Hospital, he also didn't forget to flatter his own leadership, saying what kind of medical advice he had given Chu Bei.
These words told everyone that the reason Chu Bei could achieve such a thing was greatly related to him, the Principal.
Every single one of them had a different mindset, and they all showed it on their faces.
Chu Bei observed the expressions of the people around him. All the praise and flattery from the officials were fully displayed by them.
Under Gu Qingqing's guidance, Chu Bei also drank a lot of wine, and practically everyone present, Chu Bei, went to toast with them.
He was a doctor, but at this dinner, it was like he was in a government office.
Chu Bei preferred to be in the academic field of medicine and use his true abilities to treat patients, not fawning on others at the table. He himself knew how to play tricks and schemes, but he felt that as a doctor, the most important thing was to cure the patient's illness.
It took almost two hours to finish the meal.
Chu Bei thought, these were all so-called experts and famous doctors, if he was to use these two hours to treat the patients, how many patients would he have to help?
After dinner, Chu Bei called for him and told him to take him back home.
Once they were at home, Chu Bei asked Ouyang Jing.
”Sister Jing, what do you think of what Master's wife said on stage?”
”What do you mean?”
”You didn't take it to heart if you said you were going to set our engagement, right? I've never thought about it.”
Chu Bei expressed his attitude once again.
When Ouyang Jing heard this, she felt a little sad.
She could feel that she didn't have much of a position in Chu Bei's heart, and that Chu Bei didn't have any feelings for her.
But she was a very conceited woman, especially in front of Chu Bei, she would not show weakness.
Hearing that Chu Bei rejected the notion that he didn't love her, Ouyang Jing also didn't want to curry favor with his.
”You're already a bit stingy and famous, but you're already amazing. There are many men who want to woo me. Do you really think that I have to marry you?”
”I know that you have high expectations for men. For a small figure like me, you definitely do not put me in your eyes. It was just that … Mistress has forced us to do this time and time again, so it's not good for me to offend Mistress. If you really don't have that intention towards me, you'd better explain it to your mother. ”
Ouyang Jing was a little angry, and when she thought about how she was starting to get a little emotional towards Chu Bei, yet was ignored by him like this, she felt a lot of unhappiness in her heart.
”If I, Ouyang Jing, wanted to marry someone, there would be others who would want to marry me. However, as long as it is something that I, Ouyang Jing, wants, I will not easily give it up.”
”I shouldn't be the person you want, because in your eyes, I'm just a small child with no future.”
”Of course. The men that I, Ouyang Jing, have set my eyes on, are all very capable and mature men.”
Ouyang Jing stared blankly at Chu Bei, her mood extremely bad.
When he sent Chu Bei home with good intentions, he had thought that Chu Bei would say a few pleasant words and say a few ambiguous words. Yet, this fellow always wanted to put aside the question of relationship between him and her.
