Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Apologize to Doctor Fang!

When Fang Bai caught a glimpse of Lin Ruoxue and Dongfang Rushi for the first time, he felt that they bore some resemblance to Dongfang Ruhua, whom he had seen previously; he conjectured that even if they were not mother and daughter, they must share an extremely close relationship—and Lin Ruoxue’s words had confirmed his guess.

However, Dongfang Rushi, as the elder sister, was completely different from her younger sister, Dongfang Ruhua.

Dongfang Ruhua was innocent and endearing, with a charisma that made her approachable and easy for others to get along with.

Although Dongfang Rushi was stunningly beautiful, her expression was indifferent, as if everyone around her were strangers.

Fang Bai believed that such a woman must lead a friendless and lonely life.

Upon seeing Lin Ruoxue and her daughter arriving here, Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen not only refrained from seeking revenge but even struck up a conversation with Fang Bai. It was as if Fang Bai and the two ladies were the family, while they themselves seemed like outsiders. This made them feel both angry and anxious.

"Third Auntie, Rushi, my cousin..."

Dongfang Xing pointed at Fang Bai with a look of grievance and asked, "Do you know him?"

"Of course, we do!"

Lin Ruoxue smiled and said, "His name is Fang Bai, and he is the life-saving benefactor of your grandfather. Haven’t you heard your grandfather mention him before?"

"It’s over..."

Dongfang Xing let out a wail in his heart, collapsing to the ground like a deflated ball.

Recently, the name "Fang Bai" had been mentioned more than once in the Dongfang Family; the one who spoke of it the most was Dongfang Leiming.

Dongfang Leiming was a man who valued gratitude highly. Since Fang Bai saved his life, he declared Fang Bai the whole Dongfang Family’s benefactor, insisting on repaying the kindness with deep gratitude.

Therefore, after discovering Fang Bai’s identity, Dongfang Xing knew not only that he would be unable to seek revenge or settle his grudges but also that he would be severely scolded by his grandfather when he returned home.

"Apologize to Doctor Fang and ask for his forgiveness!"

Dongfang Rushi glanced indifferently at her two cousins with a tone that was neither cold nor warm.

Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen looked at each other, lips quivering as they thought of arguing but didn’t dare to.

Around the many juniors in the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen feared no one except for the stern and unsmiling Dongfang Rushi.

In fact, not just Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen; few among the younger generation of the Dongfang Family were not intimidated by Dongfang Rushi.

The reason for the fear was twofold: one was Dongfang Rushi’s favor in the eyes of Old Master Dongfang, making her a likely future helmswoman of the Dongfang Family in the business realm; the other was Dongfang Rushi’s natural aura that, in her presence, always invoked a pressure that made one feel utterly inferior.

After Dongfang Rushi had spoken, she fell silent, just gazing quietly at Dongfang Xing and Donggang Chen.

Her gaze wasn’t sharp but was filled with an authoritative presence that couldn’t be defied. Under her watchful eyes, Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen stood up from the ground, jostling each other to stand before Fang Bai, deeply bowing and apologizing with flushed faces, repeatedly saying "Sorry."

In this conflict, Fang Bai had the upper hand, and since the other party was apologizing, he chose no longer to make an issue of it. He just smiled warmly at Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen, saying, "The two girls who left just now are my friends. You won’t trouble them anymore, will you?"

Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen did indeed have such intentions, but with Fang Bai’s words, they knew better than to pursue those two girls any further. If their grandfather heard of it, they would have to face the consequences.

"No, not at all."

The cousins hurriedly waved their hands and shook their heads, swearing to heaven they would never cause trouble for Mingyue and her classmates.

"Doctor Fang, here is one million as compensation for your two friends, and we hope that this incident will not have caused them too much trouble. Additionally, please convey our apologies to them. Thank you."

Dongfang Rushi handed a signed check to Fang Bai.

"I will convey your apologies to my friends, but there’s no need for compensation; my friends have not suffered any losses. However, these four did sustain some minor injuries and will need some time to recover."

Fang Bai pointed to Dongfang Xing, Dongfang Chen, and the injured Wu Wensong and Wu Wenbo.

"I have a bit of medical knowledge. For minor injuries and illnesses, I should still be able to treat them."

Lin Ruoxue smiled at Fang Bai and said, "Doctor Fang’s miraculous skills saved our old master’s life, which I truly admire. If you have time in the future, please visit our home as a guest; I would also like to learn some medical skills from you."

"Ms. Lin, you flatter me. Let’s learn from each other!"

Fang Bai said with a smile.

When Fang Bai first saw Lin Ruoxue, he knew that this charming woman in her forties was not an ordinary person.

Not only did Lin Ruoxue possess the strength of a high-rank Yellow Level martial artist, but she also carried a faint scent of medicine, indicating her constant contact with medicinal materials; Fang Bai was sure that her medical skills were far beyond a mere "bit of knowledge."

Both being medically trained, they quickly steered their conversation towards medical topics after meeting.

Fang Bai had not expected a woman married into a wealthy family like Lin Ruoxue to be so proficient in medical knowledge, seemingly not far behind Qian Haoduo, one of the four great National Doctors he had encountered before.

What was even more unexpected for Lin Ruoxue was that, in their casual conversation, Fang Bai’s words contained profound and mysterious medical principles that enlightened her on one hand, yet also left her pondering and bewildered in some aspects.

Martial artists have realms, and so do medical practitioners. After just a few words with Fang Bai, Lin Ruoxue knew that her own realm in medicine was far behind Fang Bai’s.

If the earlier words of "deep admiration" from Lin Ruoxue had been mere polite remarks, now she truly admired and respected Fang Bai from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Ruoxue had some acquaintances among the top two doctors of Huaxia’s four great National Doctors, but she felt that even those eminent figures in Huaxia’s medical world might not possess the insights of Fang Bai.

"Mom, everything here has been settled, we should go back now," Dongfang Rushi said while revealing a touch of helplessness seeing her mother, who was usually indifferent to men, eagerly chatting with Fang Bai.

Urged by her daughter, Lin Ruoxue had to cut her conversation short with Fang Bai, saying with a touch of regret, "Doctor Fang, there were some things you mentioned that I still do not quite understand. Please do come to our house when you have time."

After a pause, she added, "Our old master has been thinking of you, too. He sent people to look for you everywhere some time ago, wanting to invite you to our home to express his thanks again."

She sincerely invited Fang Bai, thinking that by interacting more with him, she might make a breakthrough in her medical practice.

Fang Bai nodded with a smile and said, "There will be an opportunity in the future. I have some things to attend to when I get back, so I’ll take my leave now."

Watching Fang Bai stride away, Lin Ruoxue and her daughter Dongfang Rushi also returned to the black business car.

The Dongfang brothers, Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen, followed with their heads drooping and got into the car.

The Wu brothers, with broken hands and feet, supported each other and got into one of the bodyguard cars.
