Chapter 366: Chapter 369: Shocking

Qian Fuchen looked at Xiao Yi standing at the door and his face also showed a trace of embarrassment.

Although he had already been prepared in his heart and knew that Xiao Yi today was ninety-nine percent likely the same Xiao Yi whom he had rejected last time, the actual face-to-face encounter felt different.

After all, at Elder An’s request, Xiao Yi had specifically taken time to offer him medical treatment, yet he had refused him. Not only had he refused, but he had also resolutely labeled him a fraud at that time.

Now, however, he was going through another layer of connections, seeking Xiao Yi to come and treat him, how could this not make him, a person of considerable status, feel embarrassed and ashamed?

"Doctor Xiao, you’ve come? Why didn’t you tell me in advance so I could come down to greet you, or alternatively, have our driver pick you up?"

Mr. Ma’s expression also slightly paused, but his pause wasn’t due to anything in particular, rather he was just a bit surprised. When he heard the doorbell earlier, he thought it might be the nurse or someone else, but he hadn’t expected Xiao Yi to come so quickly.

After only a brief pause, his face immediately filled with an incredibly warm smile as he greeted Xiao Yi inside.

"Little Xiao, you’ve come, come in, please take a seat!"

Elder Mr. Ma, who had just finished lunch and was about to go back to bed to rest for a while, also turned back at his son’s words, showing a warmly enthusiastic smile towards Xiao Yi at the door.

Watching the attitude of Elder Mr. Ma and Mr. Ma towards Xiao Yi, the hearts of Qian Fuchen and Qian Fuyu were once again tumultuous like raging waves, their expressions also suddenly changed.

Especially Qian Fuchen, who was truly shaken.

That morning, he had felt that the father and son seemed to hold Xiao Yi in high esteem, but he still thought, how much could they value a doctor? Especially since he had also met Xiao Yi, who was just a young lad.

Later, when Mr. Ma personally called Xiao Yi and spoke very politely, pleading with him in a manner of seeking help and yet being refused by Xiao Yi, it had indeed affected him somewhat. However, he still somewhat dismissed it, thinking perhaps Mr. Ma was simply angry because of his previous attitude and what he had said, intentionally behaving this way in front of him.

Not until this moment did he truly understand that the two were not pretending, but genuinely respected Xiao Yi.

"...Before I leave, I want to say something heartfelt to Mr. Qian, telling the young master not to provoke that young man named Xiao Yi anymore. That person is not someone he, or the Qian Family, can afford to provoke!"

The words of Li Wenqiu as he left once again echoed in Qian Fuchen’s mind.

Could it be that Wenqiu had previously detected the relationship between Xiao Yi and the Ma Family?

Yes, that must be it, it must have been that bastard Li Wenqiu who went to Xiao Yi seeking revenge, and then was targeted by one of Mr. Ma’s people. His previous condition clearly showed he had been hurt, and only a powerful and grand family like the Ma Family would have such powerful masters who could target Wenqiu and hurt him like that.

The more Qian Fuchen thought about it, the more he believed his suspicion was correct. Cold sweat began to secretly bead in his palms.

That damned boy had dared to ignore his heartfelt pleas, ignore his words, and secretly sent Wen Qiu to trouble Xiao Yi, the Ma Family’s Imperial Physician, nearly causing a huge problem. Fortunately, given Wen Qiu’s character and what he had said, it seemed he hadn’t exposed his identity. The Ma Family did not know that his people had once attempted to assassinate Xiao Yi.

Otherwise, instead of standing up for him, they would probably have been the ones to exterminate the Qian Family!

Qian Fuchen secretly rejoiced in his heart, gently wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead.

"Elder Mr. Ma, you are really too polite. Seeing how healthy you look today relieves me a bit. Oh, by the way, Elder Mr. Ma, did you have any adverse reactions after taking yesterday’s medication?"

Hearing the words of the two Mr. Mas, Xiao Yi finally snapped back to reality, walked into the living room, and showed Elder Mr. Ma a slight smile as he did so.

"No, no, it was very comforting. After taking your medication, I slept wonderfully last night. I haven’t had such a good sleep in a long time,"

Elder Mr. Ma quickly laughed heartily, his eyes filled with appreciation as he looked at Xiao Yi, "Your medicine is practically comparable to a Miraculous Elixir. My confidence in you is growing, and so is my anticipation."

"You flatter me, Elder. It’s mainly because you had a good physical foundation, strong immunity, and excellent recovery capabilities, which absorbed the medication well."

Xiao Yi modestly smiled.

"Ah, young man, it’s good to be modest, but too much modesty can seem rather deceitful. I am very aware of my own condition. My physical state used to be passable, but these illness-ridden years have depleted that. Besides, if it was really due to my physical foundation, why didn’t I see any improvement after seeing so many doctors, taking countless medications, and even undergoing numerous injections over the years? This shows that your medical skills are truly superior!"

Elder Mr. Ma dismissively waved his hand at Xiao Yi’s modest words.

Xiao Yi, not expecting Elder Mr. Ma to be so forthright, felt slightly embarrassed, rubbed his head, and smiled, choosing not to say more. As Elder Mr. Ma said, excessive modesty could appear deceitful. In fact, after saying those words, he even felt a bit hypocritical himself. Deep down, he did not think poorly of his medical skills at all.

"Indeed, Dr. Xiao, though you are young, I have absolute respect for your medical skills. I can unreservedly say that you are much better than those so-called national experts,"

Mr. Ma also added with a smile.

"Mr. Ma, please don’t make fun of me. Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive, and I only grasp the surface of it. I really don’t deserve your words."

Xiao Yi shook his head. Although he was extremely confident about his skills and did not really think those renowned national experts were necessarily better than him, such statements were, after all, meaningless. It was null what others thought of him; he needn’t acknowledge it, lest he appeared arrogant.
