NOVEL NEXT Chapter 45: Is the Champion Not Easy to Capture?
"Feifei, you don't need to be modest in front of Grandpa. I'm well aware of your capabilities,"
Upon hearing Fang Cunshan say this, Fang Feifei no longer made any show of modesty. Her abilities were indeed recognized by all in the Fang Family.
"Oh, that reminds me, I just remembered, I have an appointment with an old friend and have to leave early," Fang Cunshan suddenly stood up and announced.
"Then let me see you out, Grandpa," said Fang Feifei, without any attempt to persuade him to stay. It seemed she was even keener for Fang Cunshan to leave quickly.
"There's no need," Fang Cunshan waved his hand, then turned to Wang Ye, "Divine Doctor Wang Ye, there were some things I meant to tell you just now. I've written them all down on a note for you to read later."
Saying this, he took out a note that he had actually prepared before coming. If Wang Ye hadn't been so resolutely refusing him earlier, he might not have taken out the note at all.
Wang Ye took the note with some confusion, but didn't open it immediately, simply putting it in his pocket.
Fang Feifei watched from the side, sensing that Fang Cunshan's handing over the note at this time was intentionally done for her to see.
After seeing Fang Cunshan off, Fang Feifei and Wang Ye returned to the private room.
The banquet that was arranged to celebrate their success now had only the two of them left.
However, they didn't talk much more, just confirmed the matter of the chief appraiser and then left the restaurant.
...
Back at the Peerless Medical Hall, Wang Ye found that Divine Doctor Chen Li was not around.
So Wang Ye went back to his own room and took out the note given to him by Fang Cunshan.
On the note, only a few words were written.
"Wang Family disaster, related to the Yang Family of Yun City."
Seeing these words, Wang Ye's thoughts suddenly became complex.
Could it be that Fang Cunshan really knew the secret about the Wang Family's disaster?
Or was he just deliberately acting this way?
And that Yang Family, which one was he referring to? Could it be the Yang Family where Yang Junsheng belonged?
Countless questions surged in Wang Ye's mind. To answer these doubts, he could only seek out Fang Cunshan.
But now, Wang Ye didn't want to do that.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Ye eventually discarded the note.
Regarding the Wang Family's matters, he decided to investigate on his own slowly. As for the Su Family, that too would have to wait until after his marriage to Su Wanqing to inquire in detail.
"Junior brother, junior brother!"
Just then, Chen Li's voice sounded from outside the door.
Wang Ye hurriedly opened the door.
"Junior brother, I heard you won the championship today! You truly lived up to your senior sister's expectations."
Seeing Wang Ye, Chen Li excitedly embraced him.
"Senior sister, it wasn't the championship within easy reach?" Wang Ye said calmly, revealing just a faint smile.
"You're really not modest at all, are you?" Chen Li looked at Wang Ye indulgently, delighted to see her junior brother so confident.
"By the way, junior brother, how much money did you get for winning the championship? Is it enough for the bride price?" Chen Li went on to ask.
Wang Ye shook his head, "No, I ended up getting one hundred million."
"Just that much? Didn't I hear that in the final round of stone gambling, they could directly give the contestants half of the profit? You should have been able to get a lot more!" Chen Li expressed some doubt.
Yesterday she had seen the raw stone Li Mo picked out, which was worth four billion. So she figured that today's should not be too shabby.
"Well, that was an accident. Let's drop it, Senior Sister. We have the pharmacological conference tomorrow, and that's the real focus," Wang Ye said with a faint smile.
In fact, during today's final round of stone gambling, Wang Ye had deliberately not chosen very good raw stones. Because he felt that doing so would be taking advantage of the situation. Receiving several billions for simply identifying a stone felt like unrighteous wealth to him.
"That's true, there's still the pharmacological conference! As long as you perform well at the conference, you will be able to get the remaining two billion quickly. I believe in you, you definitely have the strength," Chen Li was very optimistic.
Chen Li knew Wang Ye's abilities better than anyone. And since he had already won the treasure appraisal conference, victory at the pharmacological conference didn't seem far off.
"Yes, I believe so too. I will definitely win glory for your medical hall at this pharmacological conference," Wang Ye said with a firm tone.
He believed the pharmacological conference was more important, also because he was competing on behalf of Chen Li's Peerless Medical Hall.
As long as he could stand out and eventually become the champion, Peerless Medical Hall would rise to fame.
At that time, there wouldn't be as many people who dared to easily target Peerless Medical Hall anymore.
"Good, then you rest early, Junior Brother."
...
Meanwhile, at the Su family's home.
Su Wanqing didn't win the championship and only brought home fifteen million.
When Su Yuanqiao learned of the result, he wasn't angry.
Because he knew that Wang Ye was the final champion, and that was already good enough.
However, this matter became a hurdle in Su Wanqing's heart that she couldn't get over.
"Wanqing, the results of this time were already very good; you don't have to be downcast," Su Yuanqiao consoled her upon seeing her persistently unhappy expression.
"Grandfather, if it weren't for that Wang Ye, I would definitely have won the championship. In that case, I could have completely changed the Su family's situation," Su Wanqing stated.
"Grandfather knows you've done your best for the Su family. But what's done is done, there's no need for you to blame yourself. The Su family can still hold on for now. And when Wang Ye gets the three billion dowry, can't the Su family just as well turn the situation around?"
"But... Grandfather, wouldn't that really mean I have to marry Wang Ye?" Su Wanqing complained indignantly.
"Isn't that great? Wang Ye is talented. Having him join the Su family could help with many things," Su Yuanqiao originally knew about Wang Ye's exceptional medical skills, and now that he knew Wang Ye also had top-notch treasure appraisal skills, he naturally became even more pleased.
"But... Grandfather, do you know? Wang Ye and Fang Family's eldest miss, Fang Feifei, are very close," Su Wanqing pointed out.
This was the point that currently upset Su Wanqing the most. Every time she thought about the intimacy between Wang Ye and Fang Feifei, an inexplicable anger flared up within her.
Yet she felt that she truly detested Wang Ye.
Upon hearing Su Wanqing's words, Su Yuanqiao chuckled, "Wanqing, what is there to worry about! It's normal for a man to be surrounded by a few women, especially when he's a talented young man like Wang Ye."
"Grandfather, how can you say that?" Frustrated, Su Wanqing turned around and walked away.
Watching Su Wanqing's retreating figure, Su Yuanqiao was somewhat puzzled.
There had been no affection between Su Wanqing and Wang Ye. Even if she saw Wang Ye getting close to other women, she shouldn't be so agitated, should she?
Could it be that she had really fallen for Wang Ye?
