Chapter 688: Cui Ruyun, Outsmarting Herself!

Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Cui Ruyun, Outsmarting Herself!

The brawny man’s words were frivolous, and his gaze towards Cui Ruyun obviously bore ill intentions.

Cui Ruyun had certainly noticed the man’s flippancy, but pretended not to see it.

"Hello, I’m looking for Captain Wong!" Cui Ruyun said with a smile.

"Looking for our Captain Wong, huh? What’s the matter, why don’t you tell me about it, maybe I can help you out too? Heh heh..."

The brawny man’s face was still full of jesting, clearly intent on teasing Cui Ruyun.

Just as Cui Ruyun was about to brush him off with a few words, she heard Chen Xuan speak in a cold voice, "We’ve come to treat Captain Wong, this, can you substitute for Captain Wong as well?!"

This remark left the brawny man speechless, his face struggling to save face.

"Kid, who are you, with such a big tone!"

Cui Ruyun honestly responded, "He is Doctor Chen, who has arranged to check Captain Wong’s health."

The brawny man immediately showed a look of scorn, "Shit, I thought he was some big shot; turns out he’s just a lousy doctor! So fierce in his talk, anyone who didn’t know would think he’s the city leader! Pshh!"

Chen Xuan’s expression darkened, and he was just about to say something when a voice came from inside the house.

"Da Chui, who is it?"

"Captain Wong, it’s me!" Cui Ruyun hurriedly responded.

"Oh, it’s Mr. Cui, come on in, come on in! Hahaha..."

A man in his early thirties with a face full of mirth came to meet them, it was Captain Wong Yong!

"Captain Wong, let me introduce you, this is the Doctor Chen I’ve mentioned to you!" Cui Ruyun introduced with a smile.

"Oh, come in," Wong Yong glanced at Chen Xuan and responded offhandedly.

"Captain Wong, Doctor Chen here has quite the temper, just now he was showing me a long face!"

Da Chui hummed dismissively with feigned amusement.

Wong Yong appeared slightly displeased.

He had already felt that someone like Chen Xuan, who needed him, wasn’t on his level, and that even meeting Chen Xuan was already a favor.

Yet, upon arrival, this person had the audacity to show face to his friend, clearly forgetting his own place.

Chen Xuan ignored Da Chui’s tattling, spoke calmly, "Captain Wong, thank you for your help with last time’s matter. Here’s a small token of appreciation, please don’t take it as too forward!"

With that, Chen Xuan passed over a paper bag, which contained the Jade Ruyi that Zhao Tianheng had given to Chen Xuan the day before!

Chen Xuan had no use for the item anyway and thought it wouldn’t be right to show up empty-handed to express his gratitude to Wong Yong today, so he brought this item with him.

"Oh, you’ve brought something with you? Da Chui, check what nice thing Doctor Chen has brought."

Without even looking, Wong Yong casually handed the paper bag to Da Chui.

It was clear what Wong Yong meant; Chen Xuan had just shown a long face to Da Chui, and now he wanted to give Da Chui a chance to regain face!

Da Chui certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity, and he casually accepted the paper bag.

"Alright, let me have a look!"

As he spoke, Da Chui carelessly tossed aside the outer paper bag and opened the brocade box.

Upon seeing the Jade Ruyi inside, Da Chui immediately made a fuss, "Wow, a Jade Ruyi, this is a big treasure!"

Wong Yong grew interested, "Really, what do you mean?"

Da Chui laughed, "Considering its quality, could it not be Hetian jade? If this is real, it’s worth at least twenty or thirty million!"

"Only, such a large piece of Hetian jade, honestly, might go straight to a museum. Where did you pick up this one, off some street stall? Hahahaha..."

The implication in Da Chui’s words was clear; the Jade Ruyi Chen Xuan had given was a fake and not worth money at all!

Obviously, Wong Yong didn’t believe that Chen Xuan would be willing to give him such an expensive gift, nor did he believe Chen Xuan had the means.

"Forget it, since it’s a gesture of goodwill, we might as well accept it."

Wong Yong said casually.

"Okay, Captain Wong, I’ll listen to you."

With that, Da Chui casually tossed the Jade Ruyi onto the table.

At this moment, another voice in the room spoke up, "Hey, since it’s fake, it’s not worth much. The leg of this table is a bit wobbly. Might as well use it to steady it."

Da Chui’s eyes lit up, "Great idea! That’s really making the best out of it, hahaha..."

As he spoke, Da Chui shoved the Jade Ruyi directly under the table leg.

Crack!

The moment the table pressed down, the Jade Ruyi instantly cracked into pieces.

"Perfect, now it’s steady! Hahaha..."

Da Chui and the others didn’t care at all and burst into raucous laughter.

Even a fool could see they were deliberately humiliating Chen Xuan!

Chen Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly. If it weren’t for Cui Ruyun’s sake, he would have lost his temper long ago.

Cui Ruyun also felt displeased, but on the surface, she could only pretend to be indifferent.

"Captain Wong, since Doctor Chen is already here, why not have him give you a health check now?" Cui Ruyun suggested.

Upon hearing Cui Ruyun’s suggestion, Wong Yong waved his hand dismissively, "There’s no rush to check my health. It’s not easy for Boss Cui to come all this way, let’s relax first."

As he spoke, Wong Yong pointed to a nearby mahjong table and smiled, "You know how to play mahjong, right Boss Cui? Come on, join us for a few rounds first!"

"Hahaha..."

Hearing the meaningful phrase "a few rounds," Da Chui and the others all smirked with ill intent.

Having the opportunity to play mahjong at the same table as a beauty like Cui Ruyun was a pleasure for them!

Cui Ruyun’s delicate brows knitted slightly, "This... isn’t a good idea, Doctor Chen is quite busy, let’s not..."

Before Cui Ruyun could finish, Wong Yong’s expression suddenly drooped.

"What’s the matter, Boss Cui? Not giving face?"

Wong Yong’s smile was strained, hinting at the potential of turning hostile.

Cui Ruyun had just arrived in Sijiu City and naturally did not dare to offend someone like Wong Yong.

To tell the truth, Cui Ruyun was now regretting bringing Chen Xuan here.

She felt like she had outsmarted herself. Had she known Wong Yong would treat Chen Xuan with this attitude, she wouldn’t have brought him here to suffer this humiliation.

But at this moment, Cui Ruyun had no other choice but to make concessions.

"Even if I wouldn’t give face to anyone, I wouldn’t dare not to give face to Captain Wong!"

"Since Captain Wong is in the mood, then I’ll join Captain Wong for a couple of rounds!"

Cui Ruyun forced a smile and could only follow Wong Yong’s lead.

Chen Xuan looked at Cui Ruyun’s demeanor and felt a sense of helplessness.

He now felt somewhat ashamed that his influence was too minor; otherwise, how could someone like Wong Yong dare to be so brazen and domineering over them!

Then, Wong Yong pointed at Chen Xuan and said, "Oh yeah, you, you were going to treat me, weren’t you?"

"I’ve heard that your traditional medicine talks about ’looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse.’ While we play mahjong, you just stand beside us and observe my complexion."

"After we’ve had our fun, I’ll test how well you did! Hahaha..."

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed. Was Wong Yong assigning him to stand in punishment?
