Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Mocking and Derision_1
Ye Fei’s face changed when he heard this, but then he saw Ma Mingyang immediately stand up, raising his glass high.
"Don’t be mad, Ye Fei, we’re all family here, just joking around."
At the same time, everyone else also raised their glasses, chiming in constantly.
"Yeah, Ye Fei, Ma was just messing with you, don’t be so uptight."
"Ye Fei, Old Huang is coming soon, you wouldn’t want to make him feel awkward, would you?"
Ye Fei looked at the bunch of them, unable to muster any anger, just finding them boring.
Su Yueru tugged on Ye Fei’s sleeve, and the two sat down quietly, ignoring those people.
Then someone said, "Yo, the beautiful Su is still with Ye Fei? So many years and still not divorced, that’s rare these days!"
"Pah!" a girl said. "Who curses others to get divorced? Mind your own business if they’re loving and caring."
The man slapped his forehead and quickly added, "Alright, alright, my bad, I’ll punish myself with a drink!"
Saying so, the man actually downed a glass of wine.
However, despite such a big gesture, Ye Fei couldn’t for the life of him remember who the man was.
Then someone said, "Speaking of the name Yueru, there’s been a medical hall of the same name that’s been very successful recently in Tianhe City!"
A woman snorted coldly, "That Yueru Medical Hall you’re talking about? Just a Chinese medicine clinic; it might just be media hype, with no future."
The crowd buzzed with curiosity about the Yueru Medical Hall.
Seeing Ma Mingyang looking towards Su Yueru but not speaking, someone thought the big brother must feel awkward, and quickly drew him into a conversation.
"Ma, what do you think about the Yueru Medical Hall?"
Ma Mingyang came back to his senses and smiled, "I’m not too sure about the specifics, but I think you all know the founder of this medical hall."
"We all know? Must be a huge figure in the business world, then?"
The people present were either state-owned enterprise executives or had already started their own businesses, with quite a few wealthy individuals.
Ma Mingyang’s words immediately piqued their interest.
"Ma, who is it that even you hold in such regard?"
Ma Mingyang chuckled, "Gao Feng, that big shot from Canglang Province."
"Gao Feng?"
"Wow, it’s him! No wonder!"
Gao Feng’s name had long been known in the business world; he had a good reputation throughout the industry.
Someone laughed, "I heard that Gao Feng never makes a losing deal, so doesn’t that mean the Yueru Medical Hall is going to make a lot of money?"
Ma Mingyang smiled, "One hundred percent. Word is Gao Feng even managed to get Li Yuanjing and Wan Jing, two ’Divine Doctors,’ to stand by, set to make a fortune!"
Hiss...
Anyone who knew of these two masters of medicine was astounded by Gao Feng’s move.
"No wonder Gao Feng is good at making money!"
Ma Mingyang continued, "Not only that, but I’ve heard that the top echelons in Qingyun Province are very optimistic about the prospects of this medical hall and plan to give it substantial support in the future!"
"That impressive?" Everyone was suddenly restless.
Immediately, one person moved closer to Ma Mingyang, pouring wine and massaging his shoulders, ingratiatingly saying, "Ma, since you’re so well-informed, you must already have a way to invest, right?"
With such a good business at stake, who wouldn’t want a piece of the action?
Ma Mingyang, courted by everyone, was overjoyed, his proud gaze falling on Ye Fei and Su Yueru.
He laughed haughtily, deliberately raising his voice, "Naturally, I have connections. I can hitch a ride on Gao Feng’s express train."
"I may not have the ability for a large share of Yueru Medical Hall, but a few percentage points, that’s definitely not a problem!"
Boom!
As his words fell, everyone looked stunned, crowding around him immediately.
"Ma, bro! Can’t forget us brothers in something good like this!"
"Yeah, Ma, back in college, we were always there for you. Don’t forget old friends when you’re rich!"
Most people were eagerly trying to get a share through Ma Mingyang.
Just then, an uninformed girl said, "The news went crazy a few days ago, some ’Divine Doctor’ cured over a hundred patients in just a few minutes."
"What’s the name of that doctor? Seems like... Ye Fei?"
"Yes, yes, that Ye Fei is something else, even Li Yuanjing and Wan Jing assisted him! I just didn’t catch the news, so I don’t know what he looks like."
Ye Fei?
Wasn’t there a Ye Fei sitting right here in the room?
Someone laughed derisively, "Ye Fei, do you know that Ye Fei from Yueru Medical Hall?"
Ye Fei raised his head, feeling irritated.
Before he could reply, another person said, "Stop joking, what does he have to do with it?"
"Come on, the Su Family’s live-in son-in-law and Yueru Medical Hall’s doctor, those are worlds apart, aren’t they?"
"Don’t keep saying ’live-in son-in-law,’ it’s called ’son-in-law who enters the family.’ Listen to how ugly you make it sound!"
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The room erupted into laughter, showing no respect for Ye Fei.
Bang!
Su Yueru’s face changed dramatically as she slammed her hand on the table and stood up angrily.
"What do you mean by that? Having fun with snide remarks, are we?"
Her fierce shout instantly silenced the crowd, and even Ye Fei was startled.
Their voices dropped, faces turning sour. They chuckled awkwardly, each talking to one another, no longer making fun of Ye Fei.
