"Zhiyan?" Upon seeing Chen Zhiyan appear, Chen Dexing was slightly surprised, but when he saw Hao Jian beside her, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "Hao Jian, what brings you here?" Chen Dexing naturally recognized Hao Jian, after all, Hao Jian often visited their home for homework sessions. Chen Dexing knew that because Chen Zhiyan was considered ugly in her childhood, not many people wanted to play with her, the only exception being Hao Jian, who didn't shun her. So, from the bottom of his heart, Chen Dexing liked Hao Jian and had encouraged Chen Zhiyan more than once to pursue Hao Jian, but Chen Zhiyan never dared. Eventually, Hao Jian joined the military, never to return, and Chen Zhiyan, defying her father's opposition, married a scoundrel and ended up living a life of misery. Chen Dexing felt regret for Chen Zhiyan more than once, saying if she had only taken that brave step, she might not have had to endure such a painful life. But every time he mentioned it, Chen Zhiyan would tearfully feel wronged, and as time passed, Chen Dexing dared not bring it up anymore. But this matter had always been a sore point for him, and now seeing Chen Zhiyan and Hao Jian together, Chen Dexing was suddenly excited. Could it be that these two were planning to rekindle their past relationship? Had Chen Zhiyan opened up? Had she taken the initiative to pursue Hao Jian? If that was indeed the case, then Chen Dexing felt he could breathe a sigh of relief, as Hao Jian was definitely a trustworthy person. "Old Master, it's been a while." Hao Jian also greeted Chen Dexing with a smile. Chen Dexing too nodded absently, noticing that Hao Jian had become much more mature and composed than he was in the past, giving off the impression of someone higher up in status. Having been in the business world for so many years, Chen Dexing had developed a keen insight, and he knew that Hao Jian must be no ordinary person now! Meanwhile, Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu both looked at Hao Jian with displeasure, as they both knew it was Hao Jian who had interjected earlier. Who was Hao Jian to them, and what right did he have to interject? "Made something of yourself?" Chen Dexing looked at Hao Jian and chuckled. Although it was a question, the smile in his eyes already conveyed his strong belief that Hao Jian had succeeded. "Not at all, I'm just a humble teacher," said Hao Jian modestly. Hearing this, Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu couldn't help but display a look of disdain on their faces. Oh, just a teacher, what's so great about that? A teacher, no matter how capable, could hardly compare to them, could they? "A teacher, huh? Being a teacher is good, too, imparting knowledge and educating people, one's influence extends far and wide," Chen Dexing said, a bit disappointed. However, upon reflection, being a teacher was fine, as what he valued was Hao Jian's character, not his capabilities. As long as Hao Jian was no worse than Sun Renyao, that was enough. Of course, if Hao Jian was a bit more capable, that would be even better; then Chen Dexing could entrust him with that piece of land to manage. But for now, he could only give Hao Jian and Chen Zhiyan a dry twenty billion. Hao Jian had only just arrived, yet Chen Zhiyan was already planning to give him her property, clearly showing how much she liked him. Because ever since Hao Jian was young, he got along well with him, being a teenager who was already proficient in business and had proposed several strategies for business management to Chen Dexing, allowing him to run the company even better. If it weren't for Sun Renyao squandering the family fortune, the Chen Family could have reached new heights. Chen Dexing really couldn't imagine how such a prodigy could become a teacher; it was a waste of talent, a waste of human resources, wasn't it? And upon hearing that Hao Jian was just a teacher, Chen Zifan was immediately displeased, shouting at Hao Jian, "Who the hell do you think you are? Did I speak to you? What right do you have to butt in? Get the hell out of here!" "Hao Jian is my friend, he's here with me, what right do you have to tell him to leave?" The moment Chen Zhiyan heard this, she was upset. Having never had a good impression of the father-son duo, Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu, she could not bear it when she saw Chen Zifan trying to send Hao Jian away. "Zhiyan, you're our Chen Family's princess, how can you be friends with a loser? Aren't you ashamed?" Chen Zifan sneered. "At least he helped me when I needed it, what about you? How did my cousins and my second uncle refuse to lend me money when my father was critically ill? How did you force me to leave your house?" Chen Zhiyan retorted with a bitter laugh, she could vaguely remember the contemptuous expressions on Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu's faces when they refused to lend her money, treating her as if she were a plague. At these words, Chen Dexiu and Chen Zifan both looked slightly embarrassed, obviously remembering how they had driven Chen Zhiyan away. But ultimately, it was Chen Dexiu, the crafty old fox with the thicker skin, who after a brief silence, laughed and shamelessly said, "Zhiyan, you must be mistaken, how could I possibly do such a thing, we are your family after all. Given our wealth, would we care about a little money? How could we possibly refuse to lend you a few tens of thousands?"

"Yes, yes, cousin, you must be mistaken, even if we were stingy, we couldn't possibly do such a thing," Chen Zifan quickly caught on to his father's drift and eagerly echoed. "You..." Chen Zhiyan was once again stunned by the shamelessness of the father-son duo, Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu. They had clearly done such a thing, but now they were outright denying it; just how thick could their skins be? "Enough talk, let's treat the Old Master first," commanded Hao Jian, urging Chen Zhiyan not to waste any more words on these two shameless rascals, as the priority was to cure her father's illness. "Cure the sick? You?" Chen Zifan sneered bizarrely, his voice sounding as if air was leaking from his mouth, which made it very strange. "Kid, I advise you to stop making a fool of yourself here. We've already invited a famous doctor to save my big brother's life. We don't need a quack doctor from some mountain village sticking his nose where it doesn't belong," Chen Dexiu said rudely. "Famous doctor? Who?" Hao Jian asked with great interest. He also wanted to know who exactly Chen Zifan and his son had invited that made them so arrogant. "Liang Xiaotang, ever heard of him? He's now the most prominent figure in Huaxia's medical field!" Chen Zifan said with animated eyebrows, bragging. To secure the services of Liang Xiaotang, the famous doctor, they had paid millions in consultation fees. But millions for billions—this deal was worth it! "Oh, so it's him," Hao Jian scoffed mockingly, yet he also felt surprised; it turned out it was his defeated opponent. "What, even a country doctor like you knows him?" Chen Zifan mocked. "My defeated opponent, how could I not recognize him?" Hao Jian said earnestly. "Defeated opponent?" Both Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu were stunned for a moment before bursting into exaggerated laughter, leaning forward and backward as if they'd heard the funniest joke in the world. Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire Chen Zhiyan and Chen Dexing felt embarrassed as well, thinking that Hao Jian might have gotten a bit carried away with his boasting. Liang Xiaotang was known as a Divine Doctor in Huaxia. For Hao Jian to call him his defeated opponent, wasn't that saying he was a Divine Doctor among Divine Doctors? "Why don't you say that Liang Wangsun, the North Star of the medical world, is your defeated opponent too? That would really show how awesome you are!" Chen Dexiu couldn't help but sneer, finding it too ridiculous. This kid actually claimed Liang Xiaotang was his defeated opponent. If it were true, he would be nationally famous by now, but they had never even heard of Hao Jian. "Liang Wangsun isn't my defeated opponent; he is my master," Hao Jian said with a smile. "Aiyo, I can't take it, let me wipe the tears from my eyes first." Chen Zifan was laughing so hard he couldn't straighten his back. He thought they, father and son, had thick skins, but Hao Jian's skin was even thicker than theirs. "Dad, did you hear that? He said he's Liang Wangsun's disciple. I'm laughing so hard I could pee." Chen Dexiu spoke with a sneer, "Kid, you probably don't know, but Liang Wangsun doesn't have any disciples at all. Please do your homework before you boast next time, so you don't end up embarrassing yourself." Chen Dexing also sighed with disappointment. In his memory, Hao Jian was a very steady person. Why was he boasting now? This frivolous behavior made Chen Dexing hesitate to entrust Chen Zhiyan to Hao Jian's care. "Kid, if you are Liang Wangsun's disciple, then I am Liang Wangsun's father!" Chen Zifan said disrespectfully, a triumphant smirk at the corner of his mouth: "Come on, quickly call me 'Ancestral Master'!" Hearing this, Hao Jian's expression suddenly turned icy: "Illness comes from the mouth as disaster comes from the tongue; there are some things that should not be said recklessly, do you understand?" Liang Wangsun was his master, and Chen Zifan was insulting Liang Wangsun right in front of him. How could Hao Jian tolerate that? This was a matter of principle! "What did I say? I am Liang Wangsun's father? You don't believe me? I almost believed you're Liang Wangsun's disciple, so why can't you believe I'm his father?" He laughed heartily, the words full of humiliation toward Hao Jian. Hao Jian also chuckled ominously, "Considering what you said, I think I have no choice but to break your leg!" If warnings were ineffective, then he had nothing more to say. "Break my leg? Based on what you can?" Chen Zifan looked disdainful, not taking Hao Jian's words seriously at all. "Is someone here looking for a doctor?" Just at that moment, Liang Xiaotang finally arrived, late as he was. "Divine Doctor Liang, you've finally come!" Chen Dexiu hurriedly went up to greet him, saying, "Divine Doctor Liang, there was a kid just now claiming to be a doctor, and he even had the audacity to say you are his defeated opponent!" "Who?" Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaotang's face turned cold instantly, as he had become extremely sensitive to the term "defeated opponent" after his defeat to Hao Jian. "It's this kid!" Chen Dexiu angrily pointed at Hao Jian. Liang Xiaotang looked in the direction Chen Dexiu was pointing, and his expression instantly froze. Hao Jian, smiling merrily, waved at him and greeted enthusiastically, "Hey, nice to see you again." ............
