873: Chapter 866: I’m Not Worthy of Him 873: Chapter 866: I’m Not Worthy of Him The warm sun spilled down from the sky, and those who had just mocked and ridiculed Ye Chenfeng were standing in place, instantly petrified by what happened next.
They couldn’t fathom how Ye Chenfeng had managed to make people like Cheng Wansong bow and scrape.
To put it bluntly, even if the top-tier elders from Capital City came, it was doubtful that Nangang’s number one, Cheng Wansong, and number two, Xu Dongchun, would lower their stance so much, even to the point of opening the car door personally for Ye Chenfeng.
There were also medical authorities like Duan Nan from Huaxia Country.
These old men were top figures in Huaxia’s medical field.
People like Zhang Manshan, Luo Zhongshu, and Wang Beijiang had had contact with medical authorities like Duan Nan before.
They knew these old men were full of pride and wouldn’t casually address a young man as “Master”, unless Ye Chenfeng had genuine skills that had thoroughly impressed them.
Descending from the Mercedes, Ye Chenfeng looked at the crowd that stood still like petrified chickens and nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, saying, “The birthday feast hasn’t started yet, and it seems that people here don’t welcome me to stay any longer.
I guess I’m being kicked out, right?”
Ye Chenfeng had intended to save Zhang Manshan some face.
Unfortunately, he could see that Zhang Manshan didn’t hold any real affection for him.
Ye Chenfeng was not someone who liked to debase himself, especially since what he said was true—he had indeed been driven out of today’s feast.
As soon as Ye Chenfeng spoke, Cheng Wansong and the others came to their senses and immediately put on stern faces.
To Cheng Wanson and Xu Dongchun, Ye Chenfeng was a celestial figure who should be respected absolutely.
To Duan Nan, Lu Shengrong, and Duan Tianrui, their master, their grandmaster ancestor, was not someone others could offend.
Their master, their grandmaster ancestor, should be met with cheers and jubilation for attending today’s birthday feast.
And yet, what happened?
These idiots didn’t welcome Ye Chenfeng?
As Nangang’s leader, Cheng Wansong immediately showed the aura of a superior.
Frowning, he swept his gaze across the crowd and quickly focused on Luo Zhiyuan and Wang Kejun.
Seeing their attitudes change after witnessing Cheng Wansong’s and others’ respect for Ye Chenfeng, and recalling how they had just offended Ye Chenfeng, their faces instantly lost all color and their bodies shivered uncontrollably—a fact Cheng Wansong couldn’t miss if he tried.
“You two, step out,” Cheng Wansong ordered, pointing at Luo Zhiyuan and Wang Kejun.
As Nangang’s number one, Cheng Wansong was very observant, instantly realizing that they must be involved with Ye Chenfeng.
Of course, Luo Zhiyuan and Wang Kejun didn’t dare to defy Cheng Wansong’s command.
The two of them scurried out from the crowd, while Zhang Qingqing, who had been standing next to them, also continuously changed color, biting her lips tightly.
She couldn’t understand why Nangang’s number one and number two held such respect for Ye Chenfeng.
Cheng Wansong, seeing Wang Kejun trembling even more, glared at him and commanded, “Tell me exactly what happened here earlier.
If you hide a single detail, I guarantee that you and your family will no longer be able to flourish in Nangang.”
Zhang Manshan, Luo Zhongshu, and Wang Beijiang, seeing Cheng Wansong actually become angry, were panicking internally, especially Luo Zhongshu and Wang Beijiang.
They hadn’t expected Ye Chenfeng’s influence to be so enormous that even Nangang’s number one and number two had to bow before him.
Wang Kejun, reprimanded sharply by Cheng Wansong, felt his legs grow even softer—he had completely forgotten how he had just been confronting Ye Chenfeng, his mind a blank slate, seemingly losing the ability to think.
He detailed every aspect of how Zhang Qingqing had asked him and Luo Zhiyuan to provoke Ye Chenfeng, how Ye Chenfeng had been forcibly driven out of the birthday feast, and the offer Ye Chenfeng made to prescribe medicine for Zhang Manshan.
After Wang Kejun had spilled everything, Cheng Wansong and the others grew even angrier.
The young masters and mistresses of Nangang’s big families, who had been saved by Ye Chenfeng the night before, were filled with shame.
They felt ashamed on behalf of their families.
“Forget it, if I’m not welcome here, then I should just leave,” Ye Chenfeng relented somewhat, given that the Zhang family and the Yes did have some history after all.
“Mr.
Ye, how could I let you suffer this disrespect for nothing?
To me, these people are ungrateful.
You gracing today’s birthday feast with your presence is their honor, but how have they treated you?” Cheng Wansong said, furious.
Unable to hold back any longer, Nangang’s number two, Xu Dongchun, also shouted, “Do you know why your families’ young ones were able to come back alive yesterday?
You should really ask them.”
After Xu Dongchun’s outburst, the young masters and ladies from Nangang who had been on the Fan’s No.1 vessel last evening came one by one to their elders’ side and briefly related last night’s events in a low voice.
They simply stated that it was Ye Chenfeng who had saved their lives.
Zhang Manshan, Luo Zhongshu, Wang Beijiang, and others showed expressions of guilt on their faces after learning that it was because of Ye Chenfeng that their grandchildren had survived, especially Zhang Manshan whose wrinkled face turned a flushed red.
When fear and unrest stirred in the hearts of those from the great families, Duan Nan also spoke up.
Looking at Zhang Manshan, he said, “Just now, my master offered to prescribe you a medicinal formula, and you rejected it?
You are utterly foolish.
The epidemic in Nangang was cured single-handedly by my master.
He simply didn’t want to hog the limelight, so he let us, his disciples, take the credit.
I can tell you very clearly that my master is the number one in the Huaxia medical community.
The fact that he was willing to prescribe you a formula is a blessing you accumulated in your past life, but it’s a pity you didn’t cherish it.”
“Old Duan, why waste your breath with such people?
The formulas our master writes can prolong life, and such a prescription is worth its weight in gold, impossible to find even for a king’s ransom.
There are too many people in this world who can’t recognize true value,” Lu Shengrong joined in discontentedly.
These old doctors were known for their eccentric temperaments; they wouldn’t hesitate to speak their minds outright.
And now that their master had been slighted, how could they, as his disciples, not speak up for him?
After Duan Nan revealed that it was Ye Chenfeng who had cured Nangang’s epidemic, Zhang Manshan and the others present were even more shocked, swallowing hard.
They finally understood why Duan Nan and the others addressed Ye Chenfeng as master and why Cheng Wansong and others held Ye Chenfeng in such high regard.
Following Cheng Wansong and Duan Nan’s partial disclosure of Ye Chenfeng’s deeds, the people present looked at Ye Chenfeng with renewed perspective, especially those who had mocked him earlier.
Their heads hung low, fearing retribution from Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng walked up to Zhang Manshan with a smile and said, “Grandpa Zhang, please continue with the birthday banquet.
I was planning to prescribe you a body-strengthening formula that, with long-term use, would extend your life by at least five years.
However, since Grandpa Zhang doesn’t need it, I won’t insist.”
Then, Ye Chenfeng turned to Zhang Yiming and Zhu Yuhua beside Zhang Manshan and said, “Uncle, Aunt, I actually overheard your conversation just now.
I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, it’s just that my hearing is much better than the average person’s.
You two can rest assured.
Just as you said, I’m not worthy of your eldest daughter, so I am very aware of my place.
I will definitely stay far away from the Zhang family in the future, so you won’t need to be wary of me.”
“Smack!
Smack!
Smack!
Smack!”
Without a doubt, Ye Chenfeng’s words were sharp and biting slaps to the face, silent yet painful, leaving Zhang Manshan, Zhang Yiming, and Zhu Yuhua filled with regret.
A drug that could extend life by five years?
That was something money couldn’t buy, but Zhang Manshan had let it slip through his fingers.
Zhang Yiming and Zhu Yuhua had always believed Ye Chenfeng to be nothing but a useless dandy, yet this very ‘useless’ man had saved their eldest daughter last night and resolved the crisis of Nangang’s epidemic.
Could such a person be useless?
If he were, then everyone else in the world would have to be considered utter trash.
“You all may continue to stay for the birthday banquet.
I’ll be off first,” said Ye Chenfeng to Cheng Wansong and the others before getting into his Mercedes, starting the engine, and driving out of the Zhang family estate without hesitation.
After Ye Chenfeng left, Cheng Wansong, Xu Dongchun, Duan Nan, and the others left without hesitation as well.
Zhang Manshan, Luo Zhongshu, and Wang Beijiang watched the departing cars with a flood of mixed emotions.
Among the crowd, standing next to Zhang Qingqing, Zhang Xiaoyun realized something was amiss with her sister.
She had just learned from her sister about the disdainful things she’d said regarding Ye Chenfeng.
This realization left Zhang Xiaoyun feeling a bitter sting in her heart.
Recalling Ye Chenfeng’s silhouette on the Fan’s No.1 vessel last night, she murmured quietly to herself, “It’s me who isn’t worthy of him.”
Upon hearing her sister’s soft muttering, Zhang Qingqing finally recognized her mistake, and it was a colossal one.
Ye Chenfeng wasn’t a toad aspiring to dine on swan meat but a rare Prince Charming.
Her eyes began to redden as she now understood that, in front of Ye Chenfeng, she was the clown, a true clown.
