Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Hearing the woman's words, Liu Ergou's temper flared. He no longer cared that this was supposed to be a gathering. He whirled around and unleashed a torrent of abuse at her.

"Move it for you? Like hell I will! Are you insane? I don't even know you, so why should I move a stool for you?"

"You have hands and feet, can't you move it yourself? And what good is that mouth of yours? If you don't know how to talk properly, maybe you should just sew it shut! Stop running your mouth; it's disgusting!"

The moment he finished speaking, the area around him fell utterly silent. Every single person's gaze snapped towards him. This stillness spread like ripples in a pond, and within minutes, the entire venue was quiet.

No one spoke. They all just stared at Liu Ergou. Their expressions held more than just disdain; there was also a distinct glimmer of schadenfreude.

They watched Liu Ergou, a sneer forming in their minds.

They knew this was no ordinary woman he had just cursed. This was Bai Xiuxiu, the wife of the town secretary. And she was no simple figurehead; besides being the secretary's wife, she was also the head of the town's middle school—the principal. It was safe to say that not a single person in town didn't know who she was.

And Liu Ergou was the very first person to ever speak to her like that.

Everyone could already imagine Liu Ergou's fate, and some found they couldn't bear to watch what was about to unfold.

But Liu Ergou himself seemed to take no notice of the situation. He simply stood there, eating and drinking as if nothing had happened, completely oblivious to the atmosphere around him. In his eyes, these people were nothing but weathervanes who bent with the wind. What did their opinions matter to him?

Besides, he had made a rather interesting discovery earlier. When he had first arrived, he instinctively scanned the crowd and realized that, with the exception of the women, every single man in the room was suffering from kidney deficiency. Some cases were severe, others were milder. The thought had almost made him burst out laughing, but he had managed to restrain himself and remained silent.

As for Bai Xiuxiu, the target of his tirade, she stood frozen, her hand suspended in mid-air. She still clutched a small fork with a piece of cake on it. While she maintained her graceful and luxurious posture, her expression was a complex mixture of shock, anger, and utter disbelief.

Bai Xiuxiu found it inconceivable that a country bumpkin would dare to speak to her in such a way. It was a direct, public humiliation, the likes of which she had never experienced in her entire life. Staring at Liu Ergou, who continued to eat nonchalantly in front of her, she felt her chest heave with rage.

What Bai Xiuxiu didn't realize, however, was that Liu Ergou had stopped eating at some point and had begun to size her up. After a thorough head-to-toe examination, he came to a conclusion.

This woman takes pretty good care of herself. She must be over forty, but she's still quite a looker for her age, with no signs of sagging!

Just then, Bai Xiuxiu looked up, and Liu Ergou got a clear view of her. Her skin was fair and flawless, and her features were dignified and beautiful. But for all her attractiveness, her face bore the clear marks of expensive upkeep.

At that moment, Bai Xiuxiu spoke, her voice cold. "Were you cursing at me just now?"

Liu Ergou, however, was still fuming. He heard her question but had no intention of answering. From her earlier tone, he had already gathered that she looked down on country folk like him from the bottom of her heart. The thought made him snort coldly, but he refused to engage with her.

To Liu Ergou, it was simple: if a dog bites you, do you bite it back? Of course not. So, he ignored Bai Xiuxiu.

But it was this very act of ignoring her that truly infuriated Bai Xiuxiu. It was as infuriating as punching a wad of cotton. She watched as Liu Ergou focused solely on his food, not even sparing her a single glance. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and exploded.

"I'm talking to you! Are you deaf? Can't you hear what I'm saying?" she seethed. In all her years, he was the first person who had ever dared to defy her so openly in front of so many people.

Yet, despite her harsh words, Liu Ergou remained completely unresponsive, continuing to shovel food into his mouth.

Seeing him still so engrossed in his meal, Bai Xiuxiu gritted her teeth and shrieked, "Security! Where is security? Get over here and throw this country bumpkin out!"

Almost as soon as the words left her mouth, several security guards hurried into the banquet hall. The sight of them energized Bai Xiuxiu.

She pointed a finger at Liu Ergou and commanded, "Get this man out of here now!"

"All he does is eat, eat, eat, like he's a reincarnated starved ghost! I seriously suspect he snuck in here just to freeload! Get him out! I don't want to see his face for another second!"

As Bai Xiuxiu's tirade ended, Liu Ergou, who had been eating in silence, finally reacted.

"Who are you calling a reincarnated starved ghost? Who are you saying snuck in to freeload?"

Liu Ergou had held back for long enough. He had kept his mouth shut because it was a party, and he didn't want to embarrass Fu Yan, the man who brought him. But this woman was taking a mile when given an inch. His silence only seemed to encourage her, making her insults more vicious.

"You shameless slut!" Liu Ergou roared. "I gave you too much face, and you've clearly forgotten your place!"

"The only reason I ignored you was to avoid trouble, but you just had to push your luck and come looking for it!"

"Well, since it's come to this, there's no need for me to be polite anymore!"

"Just look at yourself! With dark circles that heavy, who knows what you get up to at night!"

"You're clearly lacking vitality, need I say more? I'd advise you to cut back on those... unhealthy activities. At your age, can't you show a little restraint?"

"Can't you take care of your own needs? Or are you just going to let it build up until you burst?" Liu Ergou shot back, his words fast and sharp.
