Capítulo 1341: Chapter 1340: Lower Your Noble Head
Cao Ling’s uncle was not at home, but her aunt was, and when she saw Ye Qiu coming over, she appeared very enthusiastic.
Cao Ling’s aunt poured tea and prepared some fruits.
“Thank you, Auntie.”
Ye Qiu said.
Cao Ling’s aunt left with a smile on her face. After a short while, Ye Qiu once again saw the middle-aged couple from last night and recognized them as Han Xiaofeng’s parents.
“Doctor Ye, please help Xiaofeng take a look.”
This morning, when they discovered that when Han Xiaofeng walked, that hunchback symptom became more apparent. Although it hadn’t yet become a full-fledged hump, the way his waist was bent like that made Han Xiaofeng really afraid to go outside.
“Didn’t I say last night that I don’t treat hunchbacks?”
Ye Qiu said directly.
Cao Ling was not convinced. She thought Ye Qiu definitely could cure it, but because Han Xiaofeng had previously provoked Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu simply couldn’t be bothered to deal with him.
Cao Ling sat down beside Ye Qiu and said, “Why not take a look at him?”
“Why should I look at him?”
Ye Qiu said directly.
Cao Ling didn’t know what to say. She owed Ye Qiu a favor, and she wasn’t really anyone special to Ye Qiu, so Ye Qiu had no reason to listen to her for things he didn’t want to do.
“Actually, Han Xiaofeng isn’t a bad person at heart, he’s just too competitive.”
Cao Ling said.
“They pursued you before, didn’t they!”
Ye Qiu could see it at a glance. Among men, a lot of times, they compete for power, money, women, but it’s often more about dignity.
When Han Xiaofeng and the others saw Ye Qiu and Cao Ling together, they naturally felt uncomfortable, thinking Ye Qiu was no match for Cao Ling in any aspect and acted out of that feeling.
But once they truly understood how formidable Ye Qiu was, they probably wouldn’t dare to act as they did before.
Han Xiaofeng’s parents stood aside, and being all from the same Military District Compound, everyone knew these things. Previously, they thought it would be great if Han Xiaofeng could pursue Cao Ling, but the problem was Cao Ling never liked their son.
“They’ve purposely troubled me several times, and it’s already good that I haven’t troubled them back. Now they’re asking me to treat him. Do I not have any temper?”
“Ye Qiu, I didn’t mean that.”
Cao Ling said.
Thinking back to when they were on the plane, Cao Ling didn’t say anything.
Anyway, she already brought Ye Qiu over. Whether Ye Qiu is willing to treat Han Xiaofeng or not is no longer her concern.
Han Xiaofeng’s parents stood by, not knowing what to say, since it was their son who first offended Ye Qiu, and not just once.
Ye Qiu drank that cup of tea, ate a few fruits, and looking at Han Xiaofeng’s parents, he said, “Then you can go call him over.”
The two were very pleased to hear this, and Han Xiaofeng’s mother hurried home to call out Han Xiaofeng, who had been hiding in his room.
Now, when Han Xiaofeng walked, he always felt a hunch between his back and neck, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stand upright.
When Han Xiaofeng came over and saw so many people inside looking at him, he felt even more stripped of dignity, especially with Ye Qiu’s gaze on him, which really made Han Xiaofeng want to just walk away.
However, if he didn’t get this hunch fixed, he feared he might live the rest of his life like a useless person.
“Auntie, arrange a room. I will treat this young master Han alone.”
As Cao Ling’s aunt led Ye Qiu and Han Xiaofeng to the study room and they went inside, it was just the two of them.
Previously, when Han Xiaofeng looked at Ye Qiu, he had always been overbearing, feeling the closer Ye Qiu got to Cao Ling, the more uncomfortable he was.
Unexpectedly, now, even if he wanted to stand up straight and look at Ye Qiu with the same arrogance, he couldn’t do it.
In front of Ye Qiu, now he could only lower his head.
“Let me tell you, curing your condition is very easy, but why should I treat you?”
“I!”
For Han Xiaofeng, his future was crucially tied to curing his illness, but for Ye Qiu, what did his life or death matter to him?
“I don’t treat people for free.”
“I’ll give you money.”
Han Xiaofeng said.
“Do you think I’m short of money?”
“Then what do you want?”
Han Xiaofeng asked.
He was angry inside, but he had no choice but to seek Ye Qiu’s help.
“Tell me why you deliberately troubled me those few times.”
“I thought you were unworthy of Cao Ling, so I wanted to make you retreat.”
“And now?”
When Ye Qiu asked again, Han Xiaofeng didn’t say anything. If Ye Qiu was really connected to the Ye Family in Capital City, then Ye Qiu’s background and status would surely not be simple. As for everything else, when Han Xiaofeng found himself lacking compared to Ye Qiu, he realized that if Ye Qiu was unworthy of Cao Ling, then they were even less worthy.
“You’re just a pampered scion with this aura, your whole life might just be like this. If it weren’t for relying on your family, you’d barely compare to an ordinary soldier, yet you still dare to act arrogant in front of me!”
Upon hearing this, Han Xiaofeng clenched his fists, feeling even more uncomfortable.
He was very uncomfortable because no one had ever dared to speak to him that way, even though many people saw him as having his current position only because of his connection to the Han Family. Otherwise, he would be nothing.
However, no one dared to voice it, but now Ye Qiu pointed it out.
“Still not convinced? I can still knock you flat on the ground with one hand like that night.”
Recalling that night, the shred of noble dignity Han Xiaofeng had seemed to quickly dissipate.
“You say it!”
“I can help you get cured, but you have to listen to me from now on.”
Ye Qiu said coldly.
When Han Xiaofeng heard this, his entire body trembled. Didn’t that mean he had to be subject to Ye Qiu? How could he allow that? Moreover, if he really had to listen to him, wouldn’t he have no freedom in the future?
If that were the case, he’d rather not have such a future. Even if he had to hunch for a lifetime, he couldn’t give up his freedom and dignity.
Han Xiaofeng was about to head out, and Ye Qiu stood there, but when Han Xiaofeng opened the door and saw those people’s eyes looking at him from outside, he had no choice but to come back.
Not to mention walking out of this door, even stepping outside, if people looked at him with those eyes, he wouldn’t be able to stand it. Was he supposed to hide in his room for the rest of his life, not daring to see anyone or interact with others?
“My time is precious, I’m not going to waste it waiting for you to hesitate.”
As Ye Qiu was about to leave, Han Xiaofeng quickly said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Ye Qiu sneered inwardly, knowing this kid would yield. Of course, the other party probably wasn’t convinced yet, which would take time.
“Close your eyes and wait for fifteen minutes. When you hear me open the door, you can open your eyes.”
