Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 793 - 767: Fury Overcomes the Heart
Chapter 793: Chapter 767: Fury Overcomes the Heart
"Damn, my good mood got ruined again." Tang Guo muttered irritably, her current feelings toward Li Xiaogang were nothing but negative, and even—a bit of disgust.
She had been feeling pretty good after setting her sights on a nice car, but that voice instantly brought her mood down a notch.
Li Xiaogang also glared at Tangyu with a venomous look, as if seeing an arch-enemy, with conspicuous jealousy. That guy had caused him tremendous loss in the morning, and later he got a severe scolding from the old man. Li Xiaogang naturally kept this grudge in mind, hoping to find a chance for revenge.
Ironically, enemies often cross each other’s paths; they had run into each other again so soon.
And seeing Tangyu and Tang Guo there looking at cars, he couldn’t help feeling annoyed, What’s a poor guy like you doing here looking at cars? You think you can afford it?
What pained Li Xiaogang the most was that, damn, the sports car he had had for only a month was totaled, and he came to the sales center to deal with the insurance claim. Of course, he was also planning to switch to a new car. He no longer desired a Ferrari, but switching to a cheaper Porsche was still an option.
The compensation should be enough to buy one.
"Mr. Tang is also here, how come you are accompanying Tang Guo to look at cars?" Li Xiaogang squinted at Tangyu.
Tangyu nodded, "Yes, came to look at the cars. Oh right, we didn’t wait for Mr. Li at noon, so we left after eating without saying goodbye to you. Hmm, thanks for the hospitality at noon, the dishes were quite good."
Li Xiaogang’s mouth twitched, Thanks my ass, who the hell hosted you warmly, can you not be so shameless?
However, Li Xiaogang still said, "It’s fine, it’s fine, I’m glad it suited your taste, come again next time."
Tangyu immediately nodded, "Then I won’t be polite, Tang Guo Xinyue, how about we go again tonight?"
"..." Li Xiaogang almost vomited blood, wanting to curse. Damn, can’t you understand human speech? I give you a courtesy remark and you take it this literally?
Tang Guo clearly understood that Tangyu was toying with Li Xiaogang, naturally, she was more than happy to play along, immediately exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, yes, I also thought the dishes at noon were quite good, and the wine was nice too. Li Xiaogang, how about another round like afternoon tonight?"
"..." Li Xiaogang really wanted to vomit blood, wishing he could slap himself hard, watch your mouth, why’d you speak carelessly? Another round like that, and wouldn’t his dad kill him?
Li Xiaogang could only suffocate with a red face, "I’m afraid tonight really won’t work, I already have plans with some friends to discuss some important matters tonight, maybe next time."
"Tsk, stingy, afraid we’ll bankrupt you, huh? Cheapo, if you won’t invite, then don’t, madam here is not even interested." Tang Guo sarcastically said, seizing the good opportunity and not letting it slide.
Li Xiaogang was left speechless, glaring fiercely at Tangyu; he was no fool and could see Tangyu was making fun of him intentionally, damn it.
He had already suffered a heavy loss at noon. If he were to be trampled underfoot now, how could he have the face to pursue Tang Guo in the future?
Li Xiaogang bit hard and said to Tang Guo, "Tang Guo, if you have your eye on any car, let me gift you one. I think the Porsche 911 is not bad, if you like it, I can give you one." After he said that, Li Xiaogang felt like he suddenly became grand, and shot Tangyu a smug look.
As if to say, see how awesome I am? Bet you poor guys can’t do this, huh? Hmph, try to compete with me, you’re still too green.
But before Li Xiaogang could gloat for long, he was soon met with a resounding slap on his face.
Tang Guo, with a hint of mischievous smile, looked at Li Xiaogang and said, "Oh really, you really want to give me a sports car, huh? Heh, then buy this one and give it to me, I’ve taken a liking to this one."
Li Xiaogang was initially a bit joyful, thinking, if you accept my gift, how could you have the audacity to refuse to be my girlfriend? If he could secure Tang Guo with a sports car, Li Xiaogang would naturally be willing.
But—
When he saw that Tang Guo had eyes on a Maybach worth twelve million, he was completely dumbfounded, his face turning all shades between pale and blue, his throat seemed half-choked, unable to speak for a long time.
On his face, it burned painfully.
This was undoubtedly another resounding slap.
Seeing Li Xiaogang’s distressed face, Tang Guo felt quite vindicated. That’s what you get for always trying to show off, got struck by lightning, didn’t you?
Tang Guo didn’t let it go, adding insult to injury: "Li Xiaogang, why aren’t you speaking? Weren’t you going to buy and give it to me? If you bought it for me, maybe I’d consider your pursuit."
"..." Li Xiaogang’s face twitched, twelve million, how could he afford that? Although the Li family was quite wealthy, they weren’t the type to casually spend twelve million just like that. Plus, just for a car, let alone anything else, his father would definitely not agree.
"I—don’t have that much money," Li Xiaogang could only say with a red face.
Tang Guo disdainfully waved him off, "Tsk, knew you couldn’t afford it, acting all high and mighty in front of me, I despise people like you who love to show off. Can’t afford it, then don’t make such an offer, is it fun to tease madam like this?"
Li Xiaogang felt like killing someone, also wishing he could slap himself several times more, that’s for running your mouth, now how’re you gonna save face?
At this time, Xinyue appropriately stepped forward to mediate, "Alright Tang Guo, stop it, Li Xiaogang don’t mind her, Tang Guo is just joking with you."
With this chance given, Li Xiaogang’s face relaxed slightly.
Tangyu waved at the saleswoman: "Go swipe the card, clean the car a bit more, and hurry; we are short on time."
The saleswoman’s smile blossomed like a chrysanthemum: "Alright, sir, just a moment, we will have the car ready as quickly as possible, it should be driveable within an hour, and all the paperwork will be expedited."
"Hmm, okay." Tangyu nodded.
Tang Guo looked triumphantly at Li Xiaogang, "See what being bold and extravagant looks like? This is it. It’s just a car; if you won’t gift it to me, naturally there are others who will. I was about to give you a chance to show yourself, but sadly you didn’t cherish it."
Li Xiaogang was dumbfounded as he looked at Tangyu, his heart filled with mixed feelings, extremely uncomfortable.
He still couldn’t believe that Tangyu could afford a car worth twelve million to gift to Tang Guo. Even if he could afford it, how could he bring himself to do it?
Twelve million is not an amount just anyone could easily come up with.
Moreover, this guy looked like a penniless loser, it just didn’t add up.
Thus, Li Xiaogang was also somewhat out of his senses, wondering what this guy’s background really was?
Embarrassed and angry, Li Xiaogang couldn’t stay here any longer. He said, "I’ve got something else to attend to, I have to go." After that, he scurried away.
Seeing Li Xiaogang leave in a huff made Tang Guo feel immensely vindicated as she burst out laughing: "Haha, that was so satisfying. It’s exactly what he deserved for getting his face smacked. Let’s see if he has the nerve to bother me again. With his wimpy attitude, I wouldn’t spare him a second glance."
Xinyue shook her head, "Let’s not make it too awkward, we still have to face each other in the future."
"Humph, what’s there to fear? I don’t care much about it; he brought it upon himself by acting all high and mighty. It serves him right," Tang Guo declared.
After finishing her sentence, she threw Tangyu a flirtatious smile: "You really are the best, Tangyu. If I’m still a woman in my next life, I’d choose no one but you."
"..."
Xinyue’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from her dad. Xinyue quickly stepped aside to answer, "What? Okay, I’ll be right there."
After hanging up, Xinyue walked back anxiously. Tang Guo asked with concern, "What’s wrong, Xinyue? Did something happen?"
Xinyue replied, "My grandfather suddenly fell ill. I need to go check on him right away."
"Oh, then go with Tangyu. I’ll wait here for the car. It’s at the First Hospital, right? Once I get the car, I’ll rush over immediately," Tang Guo said.
Xinyue nodded then looked towards Tangyu. He stood up and said to Xinyue, "Give me the car keys, I’ll drive."
Xinyue nodded. She was indeed too anxious to drive. They quickly left the sales center.
In Liucheng’s First Hospital, twenty minutes later, Tangyu and Xinyue arrived. They went straight to the intensive care area and upon entering the ward, saw an old man lying on the bed, wearing an oxygen mask—Xinyue’s grandfather.
There were more than ten people in the room, likely all from the Xin Family.
"Grandfather——" Xinyue’s eyes reddened as she quickly approached.
A man in his early forties told Xinyue, "Xinyue, don’t be agitated; your grandfather is relatively stable for now. Let’s not disturb him."
Xinyue anxiously inquired, "Dad, what exactly happened to Grandpa? Hasn’t he always been healthy?"
Xinyue’s father sighed and shook his head, "It’s the company. Recently someone has been specifically targeting our business, causing significant losses. Today, they even stole important secrets from our company, potentially causing us to lose billions overnight. Grandpa fell ill from his outrage."
Although Xinyue knew some about the company, she wasn’t very familiar with the details.
"What did the doctors say?" Xinyue pressed on.
Her father shook his head, "It’s hard to say; the doctors haven’t reached any conclusions yet."
Upon hearing this, Xinyue felt as if she had been struck hard. Given the situation, it seemed to be very dangerous. She had always been very close to her grandfather and naturally didn’t want anything bad to happen to him.
The Xin Family members also fell silent.
Suddenly hopeful, Xinyue turned to Tangyu and pleaded, "Tangyu, aren’t you a Divine Doctor? You can cure my grandfather, right?"
Everyone’s eyes then turned to Tangyu, one after another, clearly unfamiliar with this young man.
Tangyu nodded and replied, "Yes, your grandfather’s condition isn’t a major issue, so don’t worry."
