Chapter 122 Seeking Medical Treatment at Home
A row of Bentleys were parked neatly in front of the Ji family villa.
Even the license plate numbers are all the same, from one to nine, a unique feature in the entire Wucheng.
As the Ji family members walked to the door, they couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement at the neatly arranged Bentleys and the Leopard.
Tang Long, accompanied by Hua Jinfang, stepped out of the Bentley numbered one.
Ye Chen looked Tang Long up and down. He was sturdy and stood there like a tall, straight bamboo.
He had a resolute face and piercing eyes. He wore a simple Zhongshan suit with a Party emblem pinned to his left breast.
At first glance, he gives the impression of a leader who has long held a high position, exuding an invisible aura of authority.
Ji Xiaoren was shocked when he saw Tang Long.
The Ji family members were all shocked by the scene before them.
Although they were unwilling to believe it, Tang Long, the head of the Tang family, would condescend to come to their Ji family just to see their son-in-law, Ye Chen.
But the facts were undeniable, leaving him no choice but to believe them. The shock in Ji Xiaojun and Mei Ruofang's hearts was even stronger.
The son-in-law they had always looked down upon was now receiving a visit from such an important figure, and they felt a sense of pride in him.
Ji Xiaoren's eyes darted around, and he quickly strode towards Tang Long with a big smile on his face.
"Master Tang, I have long admired your name. It is my great honor to meet you today."
"It is an honor for our Ji family that the Tang family head has condescended to come here."
As he spoke, Ji Xiaoren reached out to shake hands with Tang Long, his smile as obsequious as a madam meeting a customer.
Tang Long frowned as he looked at the obsequious Ji Xiaoren and asked, "Who are you?"
Although Ji Xiaoren is now the person in charge of Ji's Beauty Technology, he is still just a nobody to Tang Long.
Although I had seen them in public before, I hadn't paid much attention and naturally couldn't remember them.
Upon seeing this, Hua Jinfang said, "This is the head of the eldest branch of the Ji family, and also the current person in charge of Ji's Beauty Technology, Ji Xiaoren, President Ji."
Upon hearing this, Tang Long immediately lost interest and didn't even bother to extend his hand. He directly asked Hua Jinfang, "Which one of you is Doctor Ye?"
Hua Jinfang pointed at Ye Chen, and Tang Long immediately smiled, bypassing Ji Xiaoren who was bowing and reaching out his hand to shake hands, and walked straight towards Ye Chen.
Ji Xiaoren stood there awkwardly, his face turning pale and then red, but since the other party was Tang Long, he could only suppress his anger.
"You must be the renowned Physician Ye of Anguo Medical Clinic. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Tang Long. Please forgive my unauthorized visit, Physician Ye."
The Ji family members standing nearby were somewhat bewildered upon hearing this. Then Ji Ruoyun spoke up, "Patriarch Tang, are you sure you've come to the right place? We don't have any Dr. Ye from Anguo Medical Clinic here."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen said calmly, "I forgot to mention, the clinic I run is called Anguo Clinic."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyun froze, her face filled with embarrassment.
The Ji family members looked at Ye Chen in disbelief; clearly, the Tang family head had sought out Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's clinic had only been open for a few days, and it had been less than half a month since the last time the topic was brought up.
As a result, even a big shot like the head of the Tang family has come here because of his reputation.
The facts are undeniable, and they have no choice but to believe them, even if they don't want to.
However, Tang Long was slightly surprised when he saw Ye Chen's excessively young face.
Turning to Hua Jinfang, he asked, "Dr. Hua, are you sure the Dr. Ye you're talking about is this person?"
Tang Long originally thought the other party was a highly respected divine doctor, but he did not expect him to be a greenhorn.
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyun said directly, "I think there must be some mistake here. He is just a son-in-law of my Ji family, a country bumpkin from the mountains. He only knows a little bit of medical skills. How could he be a miracle doctor?"
"Sister-in-law?"
Tang Long frowned even more. The Ji family was just a small family. How could a divine doctor go to such a family to become a live-in son-in-law? Thinking of this, Tang Long looked at Hua Jinfang with a questioning look.
Hua Jinfang, however, said calmly, "Patriarch Tang, do not judge a book by its cover. Although he is young, he is my senior in the medical field."
"If we're talking about who else in Wucheng can cure your illness, there's no one else but him."
Hearing this, Tang Long was somewhat shocked. He knew that Hua Jinfang's medical skills were among the best in the country.
Even Hua Jinfang had to address Ye Chen as a senior, which speaks volumes about Ye Chen's medical skills. However, given Ye Chen's young age, he doesn't seem like someone with exceptional medical expertise.
But since Hua Jinfang had said that, and considering his own illness...
Tang Long suppressed his doubts and said arrogantly, "Since Doctor Hua highly recommends me, I will give you a chance to treat me."
Ye Chen frowned slightly upon hearing this, glanced at Tang Long, and said indifferently, "No need. Your illness is not physical but life-threatening. While you still have time, eat and drink as you please."
After saying that, Ye Chen turned and left. Tang Long was stunned for a moment, and the Ji family members were also shocked by Ye Chen's words.
What does it mean to "eat and drink as much as you want while you still have time"?
Isn't that cursing someone to die?
Realizing what was happening, Tang Long angrily retorted, "Kid, what do you mean?!"
Upon seeing Tang Long's outburst, the Ji family members panicked, and Ji Xiaojun immediately called out to Ye Chen, who was about to leave.
"Ye Chen, what nonsense are you spouting? Apologize to Patriarch Tang right now."
"It is an honor for you that the head of the Tang family has personally come to see you for treatment. How can you be so perfunctory?"
Although Ji Xiaojun didn't believe in Ye Chen's medical skills, he thought it would be good to have the friendship of having treated him even if he couldn't cure the illness.
At the very least, you can't offend people, right? Ye Chen's words were practically cursing someone to die; no one would be happy about that.
Ji Xiaojun had originally planned to take this opportunity to build a relationship with Tang Long, just by showing his face a little.
This will also increase the prestige of the second branch of the family within the Ji family, and if word gets back to the company, it will likely attract some people as well.
Mei Ruofang also realized what was happening and said, "That's right, Xiao Chen, you should show Patriarch Tang a proper look."
"Even if it doesn't turn out well in the end, the Tang family head will still remember your kindness."
These words were already quite blunt, and Ji Ruoyu also spoke up, "Husband, even if you can't see the problem, you should at least make it clear. It's not right for you to just say one sentence and leave."
Ji Xiaoren and Ji Ruoyun were more than happy for Ye Chen to offend Tang Long to death, so they could reap the benefits.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen turned around and, out of consideration for Ji Ruoyu, looked at Tang Long and said, "Although you look energetic and healthy, your face is filled with a deathly aura, which means you don't have long to live."
"If I'm not mistaken, no one in your family, starting from your ancestors, has lived past sixty."
“You can’t even find the cause of death, and there are no physical problems, but you just can’t get over that hurdle.”
Tang Long, who was originally furious, instantly lost his anger upon hearing Ye Chen's words, and his face was replaced by shock and disbelief.
This was a family secret; to prevent outsiders from discovering it, both his grandfather and great-grandfather had altered their ages.
Only the family members truly knew the cursed short lifespans they had suffered. How could Ye Chen, an outsider, possibly know this?
"Bullshit, Patriarch Tang, these words were said by this kid alone, and have nothing to do with our Ji family."
"If you want to cause trouble, just find him. You can kill or torture him as you please, as long as it doesn't involve my Ji family."
It was Ji Xiaoren who spoke. His expression was one of fear and trepidation, but his eyes were filled with coldness. He was already planning how to use this news to suppress the second branch of the family after the Tang family head was furious.
However, the next moment, Ji Xiaoren's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as Tang Long suddenly knelt down in front of Ye Chen.
"Dr. Ye's medical skills are indeed divine. He was able to see my problem at a glance. I am now fifty-nine years old. Please, Dr. Ye, save me."
