Chapter 19: Chapter 19: What Are Your Intentions?

"What a beautiful woman! Who is she?"

"Jiangcheng really is brimming with beauties, eh? One Song Yan is already stunning enough, and now here’s another who measures up to her. This doesn’t bode well!"

"She just now seems to have been rejecting Song Yan on behalf of Qin Chuan. Looks like their relationship is complicated!"

...

After a brief silence, the scene immediately became noisy.

Xiao Mengyi’s appearance had dazzled everyone.

When Qin Chuan saw Xiao Mengyi, he was stunned. The main reason he was considering how to reject Song Yan was largely because of Xiao Mengyi.

Next to him, Luo Changsheng rubbed his eyes hard, making sure he wasn’t mistaking the person, before he asked in surprise, "Yi Yi, why have you come?"

Xiao Mengyi gave Luo Changsheng a strained smile, "Grandfather, I’m sorry for causing you trouble."

Her words, like a boulder falling into the sea, stirred up a tempest.

"She’s actually the granddaughter of Luo Divine Doctor!"

"I’ve heard that Luo Divine Doctor and Song Qingshan are close friends. It looks like both of their granddaughters are involved with that young man!"

"Who exactly is this young man? Could it be that he has some heaven-defying background?"

...

The atmosphere at the scene was pushed to a climax.

The young men present all stared at Qin Chuan with faces filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. How did this kid manage to win the favor of two great beauties?

When Song Yan saw Xiao Mengyi, her face turned pale. If it were any other woman, she was confident that Qin Chuan wouldn’t reject her.

But the woman before her was Xiao Mengyi, an outstanding woman who was in no way inferior to herself.

Although it was the first time she had seen Xiao Mengyi, she had learned about her through conversations she had heard from Song Qingshan and Luo Changsheng.

Xiao Mengyi, the foremost beauty of the provincial city!

At fourteen, she was specially enrolled in the youth class at Yandu University.

At sixteen, she obtained a bachelor’s degree from Yandu University and began a straight path through a master’s and a doctoral program.

By the age of twenty, she had already obtained her doctorate.

Such an outstanding woman would have achieved remarkable things even coming from an ordinary family.

However, her family background in the provincial city was not ordinary. Although not as prominent as the top families of the provincial city, hers was a major clan second only to them.

And in that clan, instead of receiving the attention she deserved, she was suppressed at every turn simply because her father had married into the family.

At this moment, an untimely voice suddenly sounded, "He doesn’t have a damn background; he’s just trash that was picked up by some old geezer who collects scraps."

The speaker was Wang Song, and as everyone was already curious about Qin Chuan’s identity, they all turned to look at him following this remark.

Someone said, "Even if he has no background, he’s still a Divine Doctor. Didn’t he cure Patriarch Song’s leg?"

Wang Song snorted coldly, "You believe that?"

That person replied, "It’s what Patriarch Song himself said."

Wang Song continued, "If you ask me, Patriarch Song was also deceived by him, to be precise, by him and Luo Changsheng together."

At these words, the whole place was shocked!

Luo Changsheng immediately became furious, "Nonsense! Do you believe I’ll slap you again?"

Since Wang Song dared to come forward at this time, he obviously didn’t care about the consequences and sneered, "Divine Doctor Luo, why the hurry? Are you afraid I’ll reveal something?"

"You’re full of shit!"

Luo Changsheng swore furiously.

Song Qingshan’s face darkened to the extreme, whether because he believed Wang Song’s words, or because of Wang Song’s reckless speaking.

Wang Song continued, "In fact, the person who really cured Patriarch Song wasn’t Qin Chuan but Luo Changsheng!"

"Everyone can see that the relationship between Luo Changsheng’s granddaughter and Qin Chuan is no simple matter, they have actually been close for quite a while."

"Luo Changsheng could have cured Patriarch Song a long time ago. He waited until now just to create an opportunity for his son-in-law, Qin Chuan—an opportunity to become famous throughout Jiangcheng City!"

"And he succeeded. Patriarch Song mistakenly thought it was Qin Chuan who cured him, considered him an honored one, and even planned to betroth Miss Song to Qin Chuan."

"If I’m not mistaken, Qin Chuan will definitely refuse, because by doing so, his fame in Jiangcheng City will be solidified, and everyone will regard him as a divine doctor. With Luo Divine Doctor behind him, even if he knows nothing about medical skills, he could still manipulate Luo Divine Doctor’s influence to secure a bright future."

His words, as shocking as a thunderbolt, left the guests so astonished they became numb.

Everyone looked at Qin Chuan with surprise - what Wang Song said seemed quite plausible.

Pleased with the reaction of the crowd, Wang Song smugly added, "Not long ago, Luo Divine Doctor left Ren Kang Hospital to open his own clinic. Once his son-in-law gains recognition, his clinic will also become famous in Jiangcheng City."

At this point, he looked towards Luo Changsheng, who was shaking with rage, and said with a mocking tone, "Luo Divine Doctor sure has a clever strategy. By doing this, he not only gained reputation for his son-in-law but also profits for his own clinic."

"You, you..."

Luo Changsheng was shaking all over with anger, pointing at Wang Song but unable to utter a word.

Had it not been for his good friend’s seventieth birthday, he would have made Wang Song bleed.

Xiao Mengyi was stunned; she had not expected her appearance to lead Wang Song to so many conjectures.

She, too, went to Luo Changsheng’s place today and learned from her grandmother that the "Xiao Chuan" her grandparents wanted to set her up with was Qin Chuan.

Today was the deadline set by the Xiao Family for her to return home, so as soon as she found out that Qin Chuan was attending Song Qingshan’s birthday banquet, she rushed over immediately.

"I didn’t expect Luo Divine Doctor to be such a despicable and shameless person. If it weren’t for Wang Song exposing him, I would have continued to believe he was an upright and commanding divine doctor."

"To achieve his goals, he truly stops at nothing! Patriarch Song treats him as a good friend, yet he uses Patriarch Song for his own gain."

"Even if his medical skills are impressive, he does not deserve the title of Jiangcheng City’s number one divine doctor."

...

Watching the guests filled with righteous indignation, Wang Song was very satisfied. This was the effect he wanted - not only had he tainted Luo Divine Doctor’s reputation, but he had also stepped on Qin Chuan hard.

As he basked in his self-satisfaction, Qin Chuan suddenly looked towards him.

Wang Song was not the least bit afraid. This was Song Qingshan’s seventieth birthday celebration, and he didn’t believe Qin Chuan would dare to take action here.

Qin Chuan coldly asked Wang Song, "How do you know that the person who cured Elder Song wasn’t me, but Luo Divine Doctor? Did you personally witness the treatment process? Or did Elder Song personally tell you?"

Wang Song answered with a faint smile, "How could you, a layperson with no medical training, possibly cure Patriarch Song?"

Qin Chuan asked again, "So you’re saying, everything you just claimed was merely your own speculation?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Song’s face betrayed a trace of panic.

Not giving Wang Song a chance to speak, Qin Chuan continued, "Miss Xiao and I have only met for the second time today. Before this, I had no idea she was Elder Luo’s granddaughter, so how could I be Elder Luo’s son-in-law?"

"Furthermore, I hadn’t been informed beforehand about Elder Song’s intention to betroth Miss Song to me, yet you claim that Elder Luo wants to use this to promote me and profit his clinic - what sense does that make?"

"Elder Song and Elder Luo have been close friends for decades. Today is Elder Song’s seventieth birthday, and yet you maliciously speculate that Elder Luo has ulterior motives, sowing discord. What exactly is your intention?"

Qin Chuan fired a series of probing questions, his piercing gaze causing Wang Song to become immediately flustered.

In the silent banquet hall, everyone’s eyes fell on Wang Song.

Song Qingshan’s expression had also become thoroughly gloomy.
