Qin Chuan’s remark, "I thought he was your dad," left Yang Liu and Uncle Xieding frozen in place.
Su Nanzhi’s rosy lips parted slightly, a look of disbelief on her face as if she had not expected Qin Chuan, usually so aloof, to utter such words.
"Pfft!"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Su Nanzhi could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.
Her laughter set Yang Liu and Uncle Xieding ablaze with fury.
Uncle Xieding bellowed angrily, "Kid, are you courting death?"
Shaking all over with rage, Yang Liu pointed at Qin Chuan’s nose and berated, "You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting? He’s my boyfriend Wei Xiang!"
"Sorry, my mistake," Qin Chuan apologized, feigning embarrassment before smiling again and saying, "Considering Nanzhi, I’d advise you to take your dad for a prostate exam."
Yang Liu clenched her fists in anger and snapped, "Jerk, he’s my boyfriend! My boyfriend!"
"I know he’s your dad; there’s no need to explain so earnestly."
Having said that, Qin Chuan then turned to Wei Xiang and seriously added, "Uncle, I’m really not joking with you, you’ve got prostate cancer, fortunately in its early stages."
"But if it isn’t treated in time, it’ll quickly progress to the late stages, and by then, you’ll be done for."
Yang Liu and Wei Xiang were even more infuriated, feeling as if Qin Chuan was deliberately insulting them.
Grinding his teeth, Wei Xiang asked, "Kid, do you have any idea who I am? How dare you insult me like this?"
Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly, lamenting how truth seemed so hard to believe in this world.
But true to the spirit of a healer, he pressed on, "Recently, have you been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, slow stream, and difficulty in urinating?"
"Not just that, you often have urinary incontinence and sometimes leak urine when you laugh or cough, am I right?"
About to explode with rage, Wei Xiang’s expression froze upon hearing Qin Chuan’s words, as every symptom mentioned was spot on.
How could this be possible?
He merely glanced at me, how did he know all this about me?
Shocked and fearful, Wei Xiang was now dealing with cancer, how could he not be afraid?
Turning to the earnest-looking Qin Chuan beside her, Su Nanzhi asked in surprise, "Qin Chuan, are you serious?"
Qin Chuan nodded.
Though he wasn’t fond of the couple, his knowledge of medicine was genuine. While he wouldn’t actively treat them, he didn’t mind offering a word of caution.
Whether they believed him or not was not his concern.
Yang Liu, still oblivious to the grim change in Wei Xiang’s complexion, glared at Qin Chuan and demanded, "Are you a doctor? Do you have a medical license? Which medical college’s top graduate are you?"
She had an aggressive demeanor.
Qin Chuan shook his head, "None of the above!"
"Then what gives you the right to talk nonsense?"
Yang Liu was furious and turned to mock Su Nanzhi, "Back in the day, you were considered a beauty on the same level as me. How did you end up with such a tasteless man?"
"Choosing a man, you really have to open your eyes wide. Take my boyfriend Wei Xiang for instance — he might not be the best looking, but he has real talent!"
Su Nanzhi was so angry that she wanted to explain, but the other party didn’t give her a chance to speak.
"My husband is now the head of the East Sea Premium Auction House, controlling a vast amount of resources for martial artists to cultivate. One could say, with just a word from him, the fate of whether a martial artist can access cultivation resources is decided."
Their commotion had already drawn the attention of many customers dining in the restaurant.
Upon hearing Yang Liu’s words, everyone’s faces were filled with surprise.
"This Uncle Xieding actually is the head of the East Sea Premium Auction House and indeed has an impressive background. That young man who offended him is probably doomed."
"The Premium Auction House is backed by the Murong Family, one of the Nine Gates of Yandu, and has branches throughout Shen Zhou. Even though Uncle Xieding is only in charge of the East Sea branch, his power is really significant."
"Because the Premium Auction House controls a huge number of cultivation resources for martial artists, even the head of a branch is highly respected, and the top local powers wouldn’t dare to offend the Premium Auction House lightly."
...
Clearly, the Premium Auction House had a well-known reputation in East Sea, and people everywhere were aware of it.
Hearing the crowd’s comments, Wei Xiang’s dejected expression from being pointed out earlier vanished, and with an arrogant look, he said to Qin Chuan, "Kid, considering your girlfriend and my girlfriend are old classmates, I can give you an opportunity to work at the Premium Auction House."
As these words came out, the onlookers all looked surprised.
Working at the Premium Auction House, a top power in East Sea Province, was a coveted position; even a mere sales manager there would be eagerly wooed by major affluent families.
Qin Chuan suddenly asked, "If I remember correctly, isn’t the head of the East Sea Premium Auction House supposed to be Manager Liu?"
Before Wei Xiang could explain, Yang Liu said very proudly, "You really are a poor sod, not even knowing such big news."
"Just a few days ago, at an auction held by the Premium Auction House, Manager Liu offended a big shot and disappeared right after the auction ended."
"After Manager Liu disappeared, my boyfriend became the head of the East Sea Premium Auction House, and moreover, he was personally appointed by Miss Murong!"
Wei Xiang, with his hands behind his back and pride written all over his face, said, "Being the head of the East Sea Premium Auction House with an annual salary of ten million is only average. Miss Murong has already promised me that in a few months, she’ll transfer me to preside over the main business of the Murong Family in Yandu."
Yang Liu said with unabashed pride, "Husband, you are my idol, just amazing!"
Wei Xiang chuckled and replied, "It’s not bad! But compared to that big shot who made Miss Murong remove Manager Liu for his sake, I am still quite ordinary."
"It is said that the big shot is very young, not only on good terms with Zhu Yeqing, the president of the East Sea Black Dragon Business Association, but also has a deep connection with Miss Murong."
"No matter, I’m still young, only forty-five this year. Give me five more years, before I turn fifty, I will surely become like that big shot — able to befriend dignitaries like Miss Murong."
Qin Chuan touched his nose, the young big shot mentioned by the other party was none other than himself, right?
Su Nanzhi was also somewhat surprised. A young man who could befriend the young miss from the Nine Gates of Yandu must be no simple character.
She started to wonder if even Qin Chuan would be overshadowed in the presence of that young man.
Watching Wei Xiang and Yang Liu’s faces full of pride, Qin Chuan suddenly asked with a playful look, "You want to introduce me to work at the Premium Auction House?"
Wei Xiang adjusted his glasses, smilingly said, "As long as you kneel down and apologize for the insults you directed at me just now, I will arrange a position for you at the Premium Auction House."
Yang Liu’s eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Su Nanzhi mockingly, "Nanzhi, for the sake of old classmates, I’d advise you to have your boyfriend kneel and apologize."
"My husband has a bad temper. If he gets angry, not just your boyfriend, but even your Su Family will have to pay a heavy price!"
