43 -43: Do It All at Once
Jiang Mingquan nodded slightly with reservation.
He sincerely respected Xiao Yifei because such a young man with exceptional medical skills was something Jiang Ming had never seen before.
Being on good terms with a highly skilled doctor meant having a guarantee for one’s health.
Xiao Yi, you keep addressing me as Mr.
Jiang, so you must know who I am!” Jiang Mingquan said to Xiao Yifei gently.
Xiao Yifei chuckled lightly and said nonchalantly to Dog King, “I know, you are Dog King Jiang Mingquan.”
The Dog King wasn’t surprised at how calmly Xiao Yifei responded to knowing his name because, in his view, Xiao Yifei was qualified to do so.
He sighed deeply, his tone filled with all sorts of ups and downs: “My name is Jiang Mingquan.
When I first came to Yanjing, I was often mocked because of my name, but when I was a child, my family was poor.
They hoped this name would bring us completeness.
However, it was just a formality.” Thɪs chapter is updated by novel-fire.net
Jiang Mingquan shook his head with a hint of sorrow and, like any ordinary old man, started to chat about family affairs with Xiao Yifei while Scorpion listened quietly on the side.
It was the first time she had heard the old man talk about his own story.
“I couldn’t stand the poverty at home and, having no choice, I took my mountain dog, Wangcai, and left the mountains for Yanjing.
My dog’s name was Wangcai, and my name, Mingquan, means ‘famous dog,’ which felt like fate.
Unfortunately, I was uneducated and unskilled.
What could I do after arriving?
I could only engage in jobs that didn’t require intelligence, and eventually, Wangcai died protecting me in a skirmish.
That led to the formation of ‘Canine Society,’ and slowly I made a name as the Dog King.
Everyone said I was reckless like a mad dog, but what could I do!
Eventually, when I made some money, I wanted to go home for a visit, but when I returned, I found that nobody was there anymore.”
Jiang Mingquan sighed deeply with immense sadness: “Only now, when I was on the brink of death, did I realize that what matters most isn’t wealth or reputation, but life!”
“Doctor Xiao Yi, thank you!
“Xiao Ying, go and get me a card, the black card from the very bottom of my safe.”
After expressing his emotions, Jiang Mingquan ordered Scorpion and then turned to Xiao Yifei, saying, “Doctor Xiao, I know your realm is high and your abilities are great, and you already see money as something trivial, but still, I hope you will accept this card.
It doesn’t hold much money, but no matter how high your realm may be, Doctor Xiao, you still need to live.
This money will help you improve your quality of life.”
It didn’t take long for Scorpion to hand an exquisitely crafted black bank card to Jiang Mingquan, who then handed it to Xiao Yifei.
Xiao Yifei stared blankly at the card Jiang Mingquan placed in his hand.
Growing up poor himself, he was far from viewing money as trivial and secretly wondered how much money might be inside the card.
Just then, Jiang Mingquan spoke again, addressing Scorpion, “I remember we have a piece of property near Shangjing Hospital, right?”
Upon hearing this, Scorpion nodded, her expression troubled, as she said, “But Elder, it seems that property was prepared for yourself, wasn’t it?
It took quite a lot of effort to sort out that place.”
Jiang Mingquan waved his hand dismissively, “What effort!
Go and get the keys to the house and bring them to Doctor Xiao.
And, I remember there is a car in the underground garage of that complex; get the car keys too and give them to Doctor Xiao.”
Scorpion opened her mouth to speak but made no move.
Seeing this, Jiang Mingquan urged, “What are you waiting for?
Hurry up and get them!”
Scorpion bowed her head and left to retrieve the keys that Jiang Mingquan had mentioned for Xiao Yifei.
Jiang Mingquan saw the venomous scorpion leave and turned his head to look at Xiao Yifei with a smile, “Doctor Xiao, just accept this modest gift.
I’m not aware of where you reside, so I’ll give you that house near Shangjing Hospital.
If you feel like living there, move in; if not, just leave it be.
It’s yours now to do with as you please.
The car isn’t anything special; just make do with it.”
The venomous scorpion returned holding a bag and handed it to Xiao Yifei, saying coldly, “Everything is inside, take it.”
Xiao Yifei looked up at the venomous scorpion, puzzled by the sudden change in attitude, but he calmly accepted the items.
To Jiang Mingquan, these were but trivial, whereas for Xiao Yifei, the future treatment he would provide for Jiang would also require much effort.
Moreover, since Xiao Yifei had saved Jiang’s life, he accepted the gifts without feeling embarrassed.
Furthermore, the items given by Jiang were precisely what he needed, as his cramped rented room had become barely livable, and the greedy landlord had quite a problem with Xiao Yifei!
Seeing Xiao Yifei accept the items, Jiang Mingquan showed a relieved expression on his face, fearing that Xiao Yifei might reject his gift!
Downstairs, a bunch of doctors, upon confirming they could indeed leave the villa, also left with mixed feelings.
As some left, others sped toward Jiang Mingquan’s villa, arriving at the gates of “Mu Yuan Mountain Villa” in a van driven by Wu Shancong.
“What are you here for?”
The heavily guarded gatekeeper of ‘Mu Yuan Mountain Villa’ asked as he looked at the van driven by the white-haired Wu Shancong.
we are headed to ‘Mu Yuan Mountain Villa’ No.
9, Emperor Garden!” Li Entang, looking at an address written by the deputy director of the Ninth People’s Hospital, leaned on the window and told the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper frowned at the peculiar combination in the vehicle, two white-haired old men with an icy beauty sitting silently between them.
He felt uneasy about it but knowing that not many are aware that No.
9 of ‘Mu Yuan Mountain Villa’ is Emperor Garden and with the security also aware that there had been frequent activity at Emperor Garden lately, he didn’t make it difficult for Wu Shancong.
The gatekeeper waved his hand, signaling them to pass.
Li Entang smiled ingratiatingly at the gatekeeper, and with a step on the accelerator by Wu Shancong, the van started moving.
Driving the van through the vast ‘Mu Yuan Mountain Villa’, Wu Shancong and Li Entang admired the luxurious and high-end setup of the residential area, marveling to themselves, Wu Shancong saying to Li Entang, “Wonder when we two could live in a place !”
Li Entang smacked his lips and nodded, “Yeah!
It would be great if we had a chance to move into a place !
Although our salaries are not low and the treatment isn’t bad either, still—”
Li Entang abruptly realized that Nangong Yun was still sitting beside them and hurriedly swallowed the words he was about to say next.
Nangong Yun had been quiet throughout the trip, and Li Entang almost forgot there was another person in the van.
