69: Chapter 68 Max’s Provocation!
Seeing that Grandpa had spoken, Moo Xi, although still discontented, obediently went to fetch the silver needles.
Just as Li Chen was preparing to perform acupuncture on Elder Moo Hee, a deep and resonant male voice came from outside the door.
“Hold on, wait a moment!”
The newcomer walked briskly, with a full chest, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, bearing some resemblance to Elder Moo Hee.
Following him was a foreign doctor in a white coat, sporting a curled beard and a high-bridged nose.
Moo Hee, seeing the solemn expression on Li Chen’s face, hurriedly pointed to the newcomer and introduced him, “Li Chen, young friend, this is my son, Moo Cheng!”
Moo Xi stepped forward and asked, “Uncle, weren’t you in Newport?
Why have you suddenly come home?”
“I heard that Grandfather was unwell, so I brought Dr.
Max, the cardiovascular specialist from Holy Mother Mary Hospital, back with me!”
Moo Cheng replied offhandedly.
Although he wore a smile on his face, his eyes were filled with indifference and even an unnoticeable hint of hostility.
He concealed it well, but it did not escape Li Chen’s eyes.
It seems that little Moo Xi does not get along well with her uncle!
Moo Cheng pointed to Li Chen and arrogantly asked, “Moo Xi, who is he?
He looks very unfamiliar.”
Moo Xi answered, “His name is Li Chen, he’s here to treat Grandpa’s illness!”
Before Moo Xi could finish her sentence, Moo Cheng’s eyes widened in anger and he scolded her.
Moo Xi, treating illness is a grave matter of life and death; how can you be so foolish as to ask a green, unweaned brat to treat Grandfather’s illness?”
Moo Xi, scolded for no reason, felt extremely wronged but didn’t know how to defend herself in the moment, her eyes involuntarily beginning to moisten.
Seeing his granddaughter wronged, Elder Moo Hee vigorously slapped the table and scolded his son, “What are you yelling for?
I asked Li Chen, my young friend, to treat me; Moo Xi is not to blame!”
Seeing his father calm down, Moo Cheng quickly apologized, “Father, please, calm down.
I was only thinking of your health.”
“By the way, Dad, let me introduce you.
Max, a cardiovascular specialist I especially invited for you from the United States.
With him treating you, I’m sure your illness will be cured!”
Hearing that his son had invited a specialist from abroad, Elder Moo Hee quickly got up and bowed his hands in greeting.
Max, I’ve long admired your fame!”
Max just gave a perfunctory nod, as if returning the greeting, his attitude extremely arrogant.
He was a renowned medical giant known globally, and he had even been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine several times.
The people he usually served were either presidents, prime ministers, and other international political figures, or were magnates like Gates, the stock gurus.
An old leader who had stepped back from the frontline, he truly didn’t take seriously.
Max looked at Li Chen arrogantly and with rough Chinese, exaggeratedly said to Moo Cheng.
“Cheng, is the medicine in Huaxia so backward, that you need an unweaned boy to treat your father?”
After speaking, he pointed to the silver needles in Li Chen’s hand, his expression extremely exaggerated.
A few embroidery needles – this is not healing but plotting to rob and harm lives!”
Moo Cheng said with a smile, “Dr.
Max, my grandfather has encountered a worldly society trickster; you don’t need to mind him.”
“Cheng, you’re right.
The traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Huaxia are all charlatans, experts at fooling and swindling people out of their money.
They will definitely descend into hell after their deaths.”
Max cast a provocative glance towards Li Chen.
