Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 329: Chapter 319: Counterattack
 

Jhiang Cuifeng knitted her brows then arrogantly raised her chin to speak in a condescending tone.

“I think you’re just jealous, jealous that Mengtong is Mrs. Zhan of the Zhan Family, while you are just a bumpkin from the countryside. You even thought about going to Wonderful Hall just now, not even considering if you’re worthy!”

Qiao Licheng looked toward the entrance of Wonderful Hall, then glanced at Qiao Jing, and burst into laughter.

“You want to enter Wonderful Hall? Haha, don’t tell me you came here to seek treatment from Master Zhou, you won’t get an appointment. Give it up, Master Zhou is the close disciple of Divine Doctor Jing, it requires an appointment to see him.

And do you think you can just easily get an appointment like it’s a hospital? Let me tell you, without connections, you can’t even get on the list. Mengtong has contacts in the entertainment industry, she got us an appointment right away. By any chance, do you have connections?”

Qiao Jing looked at them both with a gaze as if watching a ludicrous clown, remaining silent.

Seeing Qiao Jing still silent, Qiao Licheng believed that the other party felt inferior and continued proudly.

“Do you still think you have the ability to treat Grandma? Before, it was just your good luck that accidentally improved Grandma’s condition. Now that we have Master Zhou’s appointment, we don’t need your terribly poor medical skills anymore.”

Qiao Jing looked expressionlessly at the two of them and dropped a remark.

“I don’t need connections, and I won’t help her with treatment.”

She left abruptly without hesitation.

Seeing Qiao Jing’s indifferent demeanor, Qiao Licheng felt infuriated but began to doubt whether his words really affected her.

Since Qiao Jing said nothing, he felt like punching cotton, utterly unsatisfying.

“Where are you going? You really want to enter Wonderful Hall? Do you even qualify?”

Qiao Mengtong watched the two continuously belittling Qiao Jing and couldn’t help but feel delighted, looking at her with scorn.

Bystanders stopped to watch what was happening around them.

Displeased by Qiao Licheng’s harsh words, a passerby commented.

“How could these two speak so harshly? What did the young girl ever do to them?”

With one person speaking out, other passersby joined in.

“Yeah, the young girl looks quite pitiful all by herself, being spoken to so harshly by these two must feel awful.”

“I really don’t understand how they could say such things.”

“…”

Qiao Licheng, seeing everyone criticizing him, immediately began to defend himself.

“It’s not that we are speaking harshly, but I have raised an ingrate at home. Our family had financial problems, Grandma has a heart condition, and once she flew to the higher branch like a phoenix, she refused to help us.

Not only did she never support her parents, she was even reluctant to pay for Grandma’s medical bills, nearly leading to Grandma’s death.”

Jhiang Cuifeng clutched her chest, supporting Qiao Licheng’s words.

“Yes, you don’t understand, she’s just a rebellious and unfilial daughter. She won’t provide living expenses, let alone our medical bills …”

At this point, she put on a pitiful face.

“If it wasn’t for my granddaughter earning some money, I might have died due to a lack of medical funds.”

The passersby who had been defending Qiao Jing suddenly looked at her with weird, disgusted expressions.

“So that’s what it was, I regret speaking up for her. How could there be such unfilial children in the world?!”

“If I had such children, I would have strangled them to death long ago, what a waste raising her.”

“Humph, such people don’t deserve to live in this world! Can’t even spare money for medical expenses.”

“…”

All the harsh words swiftly shifted onto Qiao Jing.

Qiao Licheng revealed a smug smile, satisfied with the insults hurled at Qiao Jing from the passersby.

“Letting you oppose us, now everyone is cursing you, you must feel terrible inside, right?”

“You deserve it!”

“Who asked you to be so defiant and unfilial!”

Qiao Jing hardly paid them any attention, considering talking with such people a waste of breath. She was just about to walk into Wonderful Hall when Zhou Fu, furious, came out from inside.

Upon seeing Zhou Fu, Qiao Licheng immediately switched to a flattering demeanor, walking to the entrance with Jhiang Cuifeng in tow.

“Master Zhou! We’ve long heard of your exquisite medical skills and went through connections to get an appointment, we are the ones scheduled for a visit today, no need for you to come out and greet us.”

Upon seeing Zhou Fu, Jhiang Cuifeng’s eyes brightened and she started speaking obsequiously.

“Yes, Master Zhou, no need to trouble yourself to come out—”

She hadn’t finished her sentence when she saw that Zhou Fu didn’t spare them an extra glance, walked past them, and headed towards Qiao Jing.

She watched Zhou Fu, astonished, thinking he had mistaken someone else for her.

“Master Zhou, we are the ones with the appointment, you’ve got the wrong—”

Jhiang Cuifeng’s remarks were cut off again.

Zhou Fu approached Qiao Jing with utmost respect, even bowing slightly.

“Miss Qiao, you’ve arrived, why didn’t you notify me in advance? If I had known you were coming, I definitely would have prepared some tea for you to drink and come out to greet you.”

His words shocked everyone indescribably, especially the three members of Qiao Licheng’s party; their mouths agape, almost able to fit an egg.

Why is Master Zhou so polite to Qiao Jing?

Qiao Jing is just a villager, how could she receive such respectful treatment from Master Zhou, even having tea prepared and personally greeted?

The bystanders were also astonished as they looked at Qiao Jing, and suddenly, someone raised a doubt.

“Why would Master Zhou be so courteous to this unfilial person who does not support her parents?”

This utterance ignited Zhou Fu’s fury. While inside Wonderful Hall, he had heard some noise.

He originally wanted to go out to check the situation, only to discover that the focus was on Qiao Jing, everyone accusing his master.

Especially the words spoken by Qiao Licheng’s family, which made his fury sky-rocket.

How dare these people utter such shameless words?

Moreover, his master’s medical skills are unparalleled, and Qiao Licheng dares to say Qiao Jing’s medical skills are terrible?!

And what right do the people on the streets have to casually judge his master?!

Zhou Fu’s temperament flared out of control, his respectful smile disappearing as he could no longer hold back his profanity.

“You know nothing! Right after Miss Qiao was born, she was abandoned by these people, no, they’re not people, they’re beasts!

The moment Miss Qiao was born, they threw her into the snow, almost dead, and now they still have the audacity to accuse and bite back?”

His words left the bystanders sighing incessantly, turning their glances towards Qiao Licheng’s trio upon learning the truth.

They hadn’t anticipated the truth to be like this, having just accused Qiao Jing.

Zhou Fu initially intended to take Qiao Jing inside but then, suddenly remembering something, he turned around and yelled at Qiao Licheng.

“Your appointment is canceled; I will not treat you. From today onwards, you are not allowed even half a step into any of the Wonderful Hall’s branches, and furthermore, Wonderful Hall has no ‘threshold’ for Miss Qiao!”

He deliberately emphasized the word ‘threshold’.

Qiao Licheng’s eyes widened, disbelievingly staring at Zhou Fu.

This statement was just said by him about Qiao Jing, and now Zhou Fu had singled it out, unmistakably slapping him in the face!

He hadn’t expected Zhou Fu to know Qiao Jing and be aware of these issues, much less that he would unreservedly speak out in public.
