Chapter 469: Chapter 456: Explosive Combat Power

“If we’re talking about being selfish, shameless, and bold-faced, we, the younger generation, really can’t compare to esteemed elders like Doctor Qin.”

Fang Hou responded indifferently, only a trace of sarcasm visible at the corners of his lips. “Does Doctor Qin have anything else to say? If not, you may leave.”

His attitude towards Doctor Qin had gone from originally polite persuasion to bluntness and dismissal.

Weary of being driven away so rudely, and by a servant no less, Doctor Qin’s face grew even more sour. “Fine, fine Cheng family,” he roared, “Such blatant disrespect to others. Once I return, I will definitely need to give others a piece of my mind.”

“Please, feel free to do so, Doctor Qin,” Fang Hou replied nonchalantly, even giving a cold snort, “Farewell.”

Now, Doctor Qin was absolutely seething. He angrily threw a flounce towards the door and stormed into the guestroom where he had stayed the previous night and snatched up his medicine box, marching through the door.

But within a few moments, he charged back towards Fang Hou, shouting, “You promised to provide me with transportation back. Is the Cheng family so petty that you don’t even wish to arrange a carriage?”

“If Doctor Qin can’t manage to find a carriage to return home and doesn’t want to spend more money on one, we certainly can arrange for your return.”

Fang Hou waved his hand to beckon a servant who was already waiting to escort Doctor Qin, took the whip from his hand, and said, “Doctor Qin, please.”

Doctor Qin hmphed, took his medicine box and departed.

Once the man had travelled some distance away, Fang Hou spit forcefully, “What a piece of work. Thinks his possessions are treasures and unwilling to part with them, yet always ready to exploit others. What’s all this about?”

“Please forgive me, Manager Zhuang.” After swearing, Fang Hou hurriedly apologized to Zhuang Qingning, “I apologize for making a spectacle.”

“While Doctor Qin’s medical skills are indeed impressive and he has gained some fame in the city, his personal character has been criticized. We didn’t really want Doctor Qin to come to treat the young master, but we couldn’t find a better doctor, so we let Doctor Qin try. We didn’t expect to encounter such an event.”

“We apologize for any disrespect you, Manager Zhuang, might have experienced.”

“It’s not a big deal,” Zhuang Qingning said with a laugh. “Besides, you really gave Doctor Qin a good tongue-lashing. That was a great help to me. I wouldn’t have known what to do.”

If she had been in Fang Hou’s position earlier, she might have said similar things, but she might not have been as eloquent and witty as him.

The way Fang Hou stood up to people left Zhuang Qingning truly impressed.

She had believed Fang Hou was capable and diligent with a mild temperament. She didn’t realize his strong fighting spirit when provoked.

It seemed that a gentle disposition and a robust fighting spirit could co-exist.

And this held true for Zhang Xiangrong before, didn’t it?

Fang Hou chucked and scratched his ear. “Since I was a child, I’ve lived a hard life. If I were soft-hearted, I don’t know how I would have ended up. I’ve developed a character that dislikes when others take advantage of me.”

“There are advantages to your character. You can be of assistance to Manager Cheng,” Zhuang Qingning chuckled. “By the way, there is one more thing I need your help with.”

“I am at Manager Zhuang’s service.”

The one who saved the young master’s life, he would not only be willing to help once, but a hundred times if necessary.
