Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Kick Out!
"The traditional medical arts of Yang Country are just superficial," Chen Xiao sneered. "You arenât qualified to show them off on the Land of Shenzhou. Soon, Iâll make you run back to your tiny little country in disgrace!
"I suggest you little dwarves stick to making your special little films to earn some cash. A sissy like you would probably be very popular in those gay porn flicks. Iâm sure youâd have plenty of admirers, right?"
Watanabe Ichiba clenched his jaw. The thing he hated most in his life was being called a sissy. "You wonât be arrogant for much longer! When the time comes, Iâll show you the meaning of despair!"
Seething with anger, the two of them left.
Jiang Tianquan also hated Chen Xiao with a passion. After his family failed to secure the new port project, they were abandoned by Xing Zhanlong. Now, without Xing Zhanlongâs support, the Jiang Family was on the verge of collapse. His brother, Jiang Tianyi, had first been crippled by Chen Xiao and then eliminated by Xing Zhanlong, and Jiang Tianquan directed all his hatred for this onto Chen Xiao.
ăAt the entrance.ă
Luo Qingli and Bai Yutang walked in from outside. Staring at the sea of people in the venue, Bai Yutang said, "Qingli, tickets for this Chinese Medicine Conference are hard to come by. I had to go to great lengths to get these two. Once Mr. William appears, we can speak with him face-to-face."
Luo Qingli nodded slightly, her eyes scanning the room until she spotted Chen Xiao in the crowd. She immediately walked over.
"Qingli! Where are you going?" Bai Yutang called, trailing behind her.
Luo Qingli ignored him and quickly approached Chen Xiaoâs group. Her face was as cold as ice, her gaze fixed intently on Zhang Yaqing, who stood beside Chen Xiao. Her red lips parted. "Miss Zhang, I didnât expect to see you here. It seems youâre also here for Mr. William?"
Zhang Yaqing laughed seductively. "Thatâs right. It seems Miss Luo and I really are on the same wavelength. However, Miss Luo, with that murderous look of yours, could it be that you want to demand an explanation from Chen Xiao?!
"Too bad youâre no longer married. Chen Xiao and I, on the other hand, are a couple. Surely you canât be thinking of managing my boyfriend, can you?"
"Youâre overthinking it," Luo Qingli said indifferently. "I have no interest in calling him to account."
Bai Yutangâs expression soured as he stared at the charming Zhang Yaqing beside Chen Xiao. His eyes darted around before he spoke to Chen Xiao coldly, "You must be Qingliâs ex-husband, right?"
"And who are you supposed to be?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"Iâm a friend of Qingliâs," Bai Yutang snorted. "Youâre a disgrace to all men. How many days has it been since you and Qingli divorced? Youâve already found a replacement? It seems you were cheating on her during the marriage. Thank goodness Qingli didnât stay with a man like you. Scum like you donât deserveâ"
"Senior," Luo Qingli interrupted him sharply, "you neednât concern yourself with our affairs."
"What? Qingli, Iâm speaking up for you!" Bai Yutang felt aggrieved.
"Youâre an outsider," Luo Qingli said. "You donât understand whatâs between him and me."
The word âoutsiderâ stung Bai Yutang.
Then, Luo Qingli smiled again. "Chen Xiao, since youâre here, you must be planning to help Miss Zhang with her Zongheng Chamber of Commerce problem. Why donât you help me with mine at the same time? Thatâs not too much to ask of an ex-husband, is it?"
"Fine," Chen Xiao agreed readily. That was his plan all along.
Hearing Chen Xiao agree so quickly, Luo Qingli couldnât help but purse her lips in a smile. "Being so nice to your ex-wife... arenât you afraid your girlfriend will get jealous?"
When she had been the official wife, Zhang Yaqing was constantly provoking her. Now, the tables had turned. Seeing the subtle change in Zhang Yaqingâs expression, she felt a secret thrill of satisfaction.
Zhang Yaqing smiled. "Itâs perfectly normal for an ex-husband to help his ex-wife with a problem she canât solve on her own. I, Zhang Yaqing, am not as petty as some women. Baby, you agree, right?" As she spoke, she provocatively pressed her soft figure against Chen Xiaoâs arm.
"Thatâs enough, both of you," Chen Xiao said, a headache building. "Or you can handle this yourselves."
Whenever these two women met, they always clashed. Being stuck in the middle was getting to be a real pain.
Luo Qingli smiled faintly. "Alright then. After you help me with this, we can go for a walk, just the two of us. Like last night. Miss Zhang is so magnanimous, she surely... wonât mind our normal social interactions, right?"
The mention of last night clearly annoyed Zhang Yaqing, but she maintained her seductive smile. "Of course not. After all, Iâm his girlfriend now, and youâre just his ex-wife. No matter what, I trust Chen Xiao will always put me first. My position is unshakable."
Both Zhang Yaqing and Luo Qingli possessed outstanding poise and beauty, yet Chen Xiao had managed to get two such top-quality women to fight over him. The other men in the room were green with envy.
"Qingli, what ability does he have to help you?" Bai Yutang scoffed, unable to hide his discontent. "What connections does he have? Heâs a nobody! A man like Mr. William wouldnât even give him the time of day, right?"
Chen Xiao glanced at Luo Qingli, his tone helpless. "You should make fewer friends like this. Thereâs something wrong with his brain. You donât want to catch his stupidity."
"You son of a bitchâ" Bai Yutang was so enraged he looked ready to throw a punch. He caught himself and sneered, "Believe it or not, with a single word, I can have you thrown out of here."
Li Zhengming frowned. With Chen Xiaoâs medical skills, even he had to show some respect. What gave this brash young fool the right to run Chen Xiao off?
"Youâd better be polite to Mr. Chen," he warned Bai Yutang coldly. "Otherwise, I will have you removed immediately."
Bai Yutang didnât recognize Li Zhengming and had no idea he was one of the organizers of the conference. He scoffed, "I paid to be here. What authority do you have to throw me out? Besides, could you even manage it?"
Li Zhengmingâs face turned ashen. He immediately made a phone call.
In less than thirty seconds, a group of security guards came rushing over. They stopped and bowed respectfully.
"Divine Doctor Li! Doctor Hua! Elder Bai... do you gentlemen have any instructions?"
Hearing the security guardsâ address, Bai Yutangâs eyelids twitched violently.
Could it be that these unremarkable-looking old men are the organizers of this conference? These men are titans of the Chinese Medicine Community; I canât possibly afford to offend them!
And Chen Xiao actually knows these big shots?
Li Zhengming waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing a fly. "Get him out of here!"
"Sir," one of the guards said as they surrounded Bai Yutang, "are you going to walk out on your own, or do we have to throw you out?"
