Chapter 1060: Chapter 1061: Refusal
Karen Huarte rolled her eyes and said, "Angelo, this is my home, whether you welcome me or not is irrelevant. You donât like me, and I donât like you either."
Angelo donned a well-tailored suit, his demeanor quite gentlemanly, but his words to Karen Huarte were quite harsh as he said, "Does it matter whether you like me or not? Do you even have the right not to like me?"
Karen scoffed disdainfully and said, "So what? Are you looking for a fight?"
"A fight? Karen, as a member of the Walter Family, what can you do besides fight? Donât you think youâre embarrassing the Walter Family? I suggest you leave quickly; grandmother is very ill, and everyoneâs in a bad mood. Someone like you showing up will only make everyone more unhappy."
Karen Huarte lifted her chin immediately and said, "Iâm here precisely because of grandmotherâs illness. I invited a very skilled Chinese doctor who will cure grandmother."
Angelo glanced at Song Xiaodong, Feng Kexin, and Sun Yiyi, his eyes lighting up momentarily but then he frowned and said, "The Chinese doctor you invited? Donât tell me itâs these three people?"
Karen Huarte pointed at Song Xiaodong and said, "Thatâs right, this is Dr. Song Xiaodong, an extraordinary practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
"Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Angeloâs frown deepened, "Karen, even if you want everyoneâs approval, you canât use this method, can you? Traditional Chinese Medicine, where you boil various weeds into a black concoction? Are you joking? Even if you didnât attend a good university, at least you graduated, right? Donât you have any scientific knowledge? Can this method really cure illnesses?"
Not waiting for Karen to speak, Angelo continued, "Even if Chinese Traditional Medicine has its wonders, donât forget it requires someone with considerable experience. How old is he? Is your IQ really that low? I suggest you take them away quickly, donât let others see them, otherwise youâll definitely get a thorough scolding."
Karen impatiently said, "Thatâs because you havenât seen the wonders of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Iâve seen it with my own eyes. I wonât waste words with you, Iâm taking Mr. Song in to treat my beloved grandmother."
Angelo glared his eyes wide and said, "Absolutely not. Our Walter Family will never allow you to do something like this. Youâre not trying to save grandmother, youâre trying to harm her."
Song Xiaodong had long anticipated that entering the Walter Family wouldnât be easy, but he didnât expect Karenâs status in the family to be so low. His face sank as he said, "Karen, it seems I canât treat your grandmother. Weâre leaving."
Karen hurriedly grabbed Song Xiaodong and said anxiously, "Dear Song, I apologize for such treatment. Please wait a moment, I will definitely persuade my family to let you treat grandmother."
Song Xiaodong said in a deep voice, "Iâm treating your grandmother not because I want something, nor do I seek anything from your family. Receiving such treatment makes me very unhappy."
"Yes, yes, Iâll definitely make it up to you in the future. Five minutes, please give me five minutes to get rid of this annoying guy."
Song Xiaodong snorted and said no more.
Karen was now angry too and said to Angelo, "Angelo, you can insult me elsewhere, but I canât permit you to insult my heart in wanting to save grandmother, something we share. Iâve gone to great lengths to invite such an extraordinary Chinese doctor. If we miss the chance to treat grandmother, are you ready to bear that responsibility?"
"If it were another doctor, of course, I wouldnât dare stop. But the Chinese Traditional Medicine, huh..." Angelo said disdainfully, "I can definitely bear that responsibility. He can only deceive someone as intellectually challenged as you. I guarantee that no one else in our Walter Family would believe it."
Karen yelled angrily, "Angelo, I wonât let you talk about Mr. Song like that. Do you know, just the other day someone broke my bone..."
"Hmph, didnât I already tell you not to mess around outside, and now look at the cost?" Angelo interrupted Karen without a hint of sympathy.
"You...you idiot, Iâm saying the bone that was broken just two days ago was healed by this very Mr. Song using his miraculous Traditional Chinese Medicine. Itâs my personal experience; Iâve seen the magic of Traditional Chinese Medicine firsthand, and thatâs why I dare bring him to treat grandmother."
Angelo scoffed even more, "Really? What a legendary story. Healing a broken bone in two days, even with the most miraculous medical skills, thatâs impossible. Do you think Iâll believe it?"
Karen raged, "Youâre a true idiot!"
Angelo ignored Karen at this point and looked towards Song Xiaodong and said firmly, "This is the Walter Family, not just any fool like Karen. If you want to deceive us, thereâs no chance. I suggest you leave quickly; we may be gentlemen, but when it comes to cheats, we wonât be lenient."
Song Xiaodong glanced at Angelo and said flatly, "Since thatâs the case, weâre leaving. If your Walter Family wants to find me again, I definitely wonât come."
With that, Song Xiaodong turned around and left with Sun Yiyi and Feng Kexin.
"Mr. Song! Mr. Song!" Karen quickly grabbed Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodongâs arm shook slightly, freeing his hand from Karenâs grip and said sternly, "Iâm sorry, Karen, as a doctor, to be insulted like this, I will never treat anyone from your Walter Family again."
Karen saw how firm Song Xiaodong was and became extremely frustrated, glared fiercely at Angelo, and said, "Angelo, one day, Iâll make you realize what a huge mistake youâve made."
After seeing Song Xiaodong onto the car, Karen said, "Mr. Song, Iâll go persuade my family."
"No need." Song Xiaodong shook his head, said coldly, "Drive."
Feng Kexin then softly asked in Chinese, "Are we just leaving like this?"
Song Xiaodong nodded, "Yes."
Sun Yiyi chuckled lightly, "If only Karen wasnât such an idiot, he should think of a way to persuade them."
Feng Kexin was skeptical; she really didnât believe Karen Huarte had that ability.
