CHAPTER 613: CHAPTER 602: THE DIVINE DOCTOR FATHER-IN-LAW OF THE PRESTIGIOUS FAMILY’S DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

As soon as Ye Chan spoke, Li Chengyu was immediately surrounded by looks of either mockery, disdain, or amusement, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over.

If before he had indeed harbored a hint of affection for Ye Chan, now because of his embarrassment, it had all turned into resentment.

"Ye Chan, don’t slander me, I never said it was for your father’s medical prescription." Li Chengyu defended himself, but no one here believed him.

"Fine, now that you’ve climbed up the social ladder, you look down upon our Li family. I’m leaving, but Ye Chan, you will get your retribution sooner or later. Do you think the Gu Family would want a woman who can’t bear children and has already been divorced?" Li Chengyu said viciously, and after uttering those words, he laughed vindictively.

Ye Chan frowned, her gaze sharpening, but Gu Mingting spoke before she could react: "Li Chengyu, I’ve been giving you face because you are Li Pengcheng’s son. Who gave you the right to insult my fiancée? You say the Gu Family looks down on Ye Chan, but she’s someone I chased after for a long time to win over. The person I acknowledge, my family will naturally acknowledge as well. Rest assured, on the day we get married, I will send an invitation to Pengcheng Group."

Ye Chan looked at him, moved. Though their relationship was merely a transaction, he still defended her so staunchly.

Li Chengyu misunderstood her gaze, thinking she had truly fallen for Gu Mingting and spoke even more maliciously: "It doesn’t matter if she can’t bear children? Doesn’t the Gu Family need an heir?"

"Don’t talk about Ye Chan’s previous condition; she just had difficulty conceiving because of her cold constitution. Even if she truly couldn’t get pregnant, as long as I like her, what does it matter if we don’t have children? Li Chengyu, you claim to love Ye Chan, yet you cheated on her right away because she didn’t get pregnant immediately. I see that your love is also false. Moreover, Ye Chan’s health has been well taken care of now, who said she can never get pregnant?" After saying this, Gu Mingting took Ye Chan’s hand and looked at Li Chengyu with the eyes of a victor.

Li Chengyu seemed as if he had been struck, asking incredulously, "She can get pregnant now?"

"Of course, it’s not an incurable disease. Uncle Ye’s medical skills are so good; he has already treated Ye Chan well."

Ye Chan looked at him in astonishment; how did he know about this?

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Gu Mingting whispered in her ear: "Mingmei."

Ye Chan suddenly understood, looking at Gu Mingting with even greater emotion, knowing that he was a man of few words and hated trouble. She never expected him to do so much for her today.

What to do, she seemed to be a bit moved!

But a contract is a contract, she must remember this point and must not overstep. Gu Mingting had done so much for her; she should restrain herself and not bring him any trouble.

"Cured?" The jealousy on Li Chengyu’s face faded, replaced by deep regret.

Why, why wasn’t he informed earlier that it could be cured? If Ye Chan could be treated, he would not have cheated in the first place.

But Li Chengyu didn’t even think about whether he and his family had given people the time to treat her.

"Let’s go, no need to talk more with him. More words are useless, right and wrong will be judged in the end." Ye Chan pulled Gu Mingting past Li Chengyu to the car.

Li Chengyu, perhaps too shocked to move, stood still.

With the boss gone, the employees began to scatter, each returning to their own affairs, but today’s gossip was too juicy to let go, and they chattered incessantly, still occasionally looking at Li Chengyu with a peculiar gaze.

"Who would have thought, I assumed the rumors were false, but turns out they were true."

"Exactly, nowadays many people can’t have children; wouldn’t it be better to seek treatment? Ninety percent of infertility is treatable, where’s the sense in having an affair as soon as it’s diagnosed?"

"Still the son of Pengcheng Group, and yet so ignorant."

"That’s not ignorance, that’s just finding an excuse for infidelity."

The employees’ comments were not discreet and went straight into Li Chengyu’s ears.

"Enough, it’s none of your business!" His face turned red as he bellowed.

"That was terrifying!"

"He got mad out of embarrassment."

At this moment, the building’s security staff came over, their face cold and detached: "Sir, please leave immediately. You have posed a threat to our building, or else I will call the police."

Li Chengyu’s face turned even uglier, but he had no choice but to drive away.

"Thank you for just now," Ye Chan expressed her gratitude to Gu Mingting, then rubbed her temples in frustration.

"As your fiancé, it’s my duty to do so," Gu Mingting stated matter-of-factly.

For some reason, Ye Chan felt an urge to laugh, yet was also deeply touched; forget it, they were about to get married, and even if it was a contract marriage, there was no need for excessive politeness.

"Then let me take you out for some delicious food; I know a place where the fish is exceptionally good."

Gu Mingting turned to look at her: "Mingmei and Xiao Hao said Uncle Ye’s cooking is even more delicious than what you find at restaurants."

Ye Chan swore she could hear a trace of grumbling in that tone.

But invite President Gu to come home for a meal? Would Dad be shocked?

Ye Chan coughed lightly: "Let’s wait for the right opportunity. If we go back now, my dad will be suspicious."

Gu Mingting nodded, neither showing disappointment nor delight: "That’s true. After all, Uncle Ye is a very smart man. But there is another matter I’d like to ask for Uncle Ye’s help with."

"What’s that?"

"The doctor said my grandfather has at most six months left. I’d like to ask Uncle Ye if he could take a look," Gu Mingting said earnestly.

"Then I’ll talk to my dad when I get back. He’ll definitely be willing to help, but I can’t guarantee a cure."

"Thank you. It’s enough just to take a look. We are all aware of my grandfather’s condition. It’s just old age; the consequences of his hard living when he was younger are catching up with him. I just hope Uncle Ye can alleviate some of Grandpa’s pain," Gu Mingting added.

"Alright, I’ll talk to him tonight when I return."

Thinking about Gu Mingting, Ye Qiu agreed to the request readily, yet he always felt something was off about his daughter today. Could it be because she moved out these past few days?

"Dad, I bought a villa. Get ready and decide when you want to move there," Ye Chan said while cleaning.

"A villa? Where is it?"

"Beiyuan."

"I’m not going, it’s too far away," Ye Qiu rejected the idea bluntly.

"But the environment there is good. If you don’t move, why did I even buy it?" Ye Chan replied somewhat anxiously.

"Isn’t it the same if you live there alone? I’ve been living here for so many years and I’m used to it. Besides, the neighbors here are all long-time acquaintances. If I move away, who will I find to drink tea and play chess with? And what about my clinic?" Ye Qiu was adamant about not moving.

"Can’t you just start a new clinic in Beiyuan?" Ye Chan kept persuading, yet knew she lacked persuasive power.

It was all her fault for only thinking about her own convenience for work when she bought the house, only considering the environment and security, but overlooking her father’s needs.
