NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23: I Have Ulterior Motives
After Fang Feifei finished speaking, everyone followed her instructions. No one cared about Fang Junxiang's current situation.
In the Fang family, Fang Feifei's status seemed much higher than Fang Junxiang's.
Wang Ye had no interest in troubling Fang Junxiang, so he released Fang Junxiang's hand.
However, Fang Junxiang was clearly not convinced and raised his hand, attempting to strike Wang Ye.
"Uncle, stop!" Fang Feifei said coldly.
Fang Junxiang had no choice but to stop, grinding his teeth as he looked at Fang Qiu and said, "Kid, if the old man is alright, I will let you off for now, otherwise, you are dead!"
Wang Ye paid no attention and simply turned to find a place to sit down.
He had expended a lot during the treatment of Patriarch Fang. If not for the Fang Family knowing some past affairs of the Wang family, Wang Ye would definitely not have made such an effort to save Patriarch Fang.
"Water is here!"
Steward Liu hurried over, carrying hot water.
"Go and wipe grandfather," commanded Fang Feifei before walking towards Wang Ye.
Seeing the sweat on Wang Ye's forehead, Fang Feifei took out a silk scarf from her pocket and handed it to Wang Ye.
"Wipe your sweat, thank you for your hard work!"
Wang Ye looked up at Fang Feifei and paused for a moment.
He hadn't expected this aloof young lady to actually show concern for someone.
However, Wang Ye shook his head and replied, "No need, that wouldn't be appropriate."
If Fang Feifei had handed him a paper towel, Wang Ye wouldn't have refused. But it was her personal silk scarf, and that seemed inappropriate to Wang Ye.
Fang Feifei didn't say much but instead bent down and personally wiped the sweat off Wang Ye's face.
In that moment, the distance between them became very close.
Fang Feifei's face was almost next to Wang Ye's face.
Wang Ye could clearly feel the breeze-like sensation that Fang Feifei brought.
When Fang Feifei's hand touched Wang Ye's face, he felt a warm and delicate sensation.
Wang Ye had to admit, in that moment, his heart was moved. This gentle and delicate feeling was something he couldn't refuse.
But aside from wiping the sweat, Fang Feifei did nothing else. After she finished, she stood up straight, ready to leave.
After a pause, Wang Ye then said to Fang Feifei, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Fang Feifei replied indifferently.
"The old master has awakened!"
Suddenly, Steward Liu's excited voice echoed from a small room.
Upon hearing this, Fang Feifei didn't hesitate and immediately rushed into the room.
The Fang family members also rushed in following her.
Upon hearing this, Tan Long patted his chest and took a long breath of relief.
"That was close, but thank God he woke up!" Tan Long muttered to himself.
Then, walking over to Wang Ye with a smile on his face, he said, "Doctor Wang, your medical skills are truly extraordinary! Even in such a state, you were able to revive Patriarch Fang."
Wang Ye stood up, offering a faint smile, "Just luck."
"Doctor Wang is too modest! Such superb medical skills are rare in the world! This time, we've made a fortune. Let's go and take a look inside." Tan Long said as he patted Wang Ye's shoulder and walked towards the small room.
In the room, Patriarch Fang had already changed his clothes and was sitting up.
His complexion looked not too bad. Although he was still very weak, it was clear that he had returned to normal.
"Grandfather, how are you feeling now?" Fang Feifei approached the old gentleman and asked with concern.
Patriarch Fang was surprised to see Fang Feifei, "Feifei, when did you come back?"
"Grandfather, didn't you just see me earlier? How could you forget?" Fang Feifei was somewhat puzzled.
"Earlier? Ever since I fell ill, I have been delirious and can't remember anything."
Old Mr. Fang, it was Miss who specifically asked the doctor to come back to treat you." Steward Liu helped to explain.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Fang's face lit up with joy, "So that's it! My thoughtful granddaughter knows to look after this old man. There are so many people in the Fang Family, yet none could find a good doctor for me, except for Feifei, who is capable."
The Fang family members looked somewhat displeased upon hearing this. Patriarch Fang's words clearly implied that besides Fang Feifei, the others in the Fang family were incompetent.
Fang Junxiang, naturally, was very unhappy.
He spoke in a nonchalant tone, "Old Fang, the doctor that Feifei brought almost killed you, and yet you still praise her?"
"Shut up! Fang Junxiang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Patriarch Fang immediately glared at Fang Junxiang.
"Dad, I'm speaking the truth. Everyone knows, the foreign doctor that Feifei brought gave you an injection of a 'miracle' drug, and you nearly died. In the end, it was that young Divine Doctor who cured you."
Fang Junxiang, now bent on suppressing Fang Feifei, didn't care much about the details. Although Wang Ye wasn't someone he had brought in, at least the credit wouldn't go to Fang Feifei.
"Feifei, is that true?" Patriarch Fang asked.
Fang Feifei nodded, "Yes, Grandfather, Doctor Max indeed failed to cure you. It was Doctor Wang who saved you."
Patriarch Fang's gaze immediately shifted to Wang Ye.
After sizing him up, he said, "Divine Doctor, it's extraordinary that such a young man possesses remarkable medical skills. I owe you for saving this old frame. Rest assured, I, Fang Cunshan, am someone who knows gratitude and returns favors. I will definitely repay this debt."
Upon hearing Patriarch Fang's words, Wang Ye simply smiled faintly, "Old Mr. Fang, there's no need for formalities, 'doctors possess benevolence'; saving lives and healing the wounded is my duty."
"Not only are your medical skills excellent, but you are also so humble. Hard to come by, indeed! May I ask for your esteemed name, young Divine Doctor?" Fang Cunshan asked politely.
"Esteemed name is too grand a title, I am simply known as Wang Ye."
"Wang Ye?" Upon hearing the name, Fang Cunshan's expression instantly turned serious, as if he recalled something.
But in a moment, he resumed his smile.
"Grandfather, what's wrong?" Fang Feifei, very observant, immediately noticed something was off with Fang Cunshan.
Fang Cunshan shook his head, "It's nothing! Feifei, this Doctor Wang has done us a great favor, and we must thank him generously. Go prepare a generous gift; I want to thank Doctor Wang personally."
"Yes, Grandfather, I will go right away," Fang Feifei replied.
However, at that moment, Wang Ye spoke up, "Old Mr. Fang, please don't trouble yourself, I treated Patriarch Fang not for gratitude or rewards."
"Doctor Wang, you need not refuse, I am aware that you are fulfilling your duty as a physician. But this gift of thanks is necessary."
"No, Old Mr. Fang. What I mean is, treating you was my duty as a physician, but I also had ulterior motives," Wang Ye knew this was the perfect opportunity to inquire about the Wang family and Xiao Family.
Hearing Wang Ye say this, Fang Cunshan was quite puzzled, "Ulterior motives? What do you mean by that, Divine Doctor?"
