Supreme Divine Physician in the City-Chapter 670: You Look Shameless

Ye Xuan remained calm, a slight smile hooking the corners of his mouth as if he were completely oblivious to the tense situation in front of him, appearing collected and at ease.

Du Yunfeng’s slightly narrowed eyes brimmed with a chilling light, threatening to burst with danger!

He glared intensely at Ye Xuan, as if ready to lash out and tear him to pieces at any wrong word.

Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two, Liu Ying knew she couldn’t just watch idly anymore. She had to speak up, mediate the relationship between them, or things would surely spiral out of control.

She definitely did not want a conflict between these two to mar her birthday celebration. That was not a sight she wished to see.

However, just as she was about to step in and say something, Du Yunfeng, who had been wearing a stern expression, suddenly burst out laughing!

This unexpected turn of events stunned everyone, including Liu Ying.

The sternness on Du Yunfeng’s face melted away like ice and snow, replaced by a beaming smile.

Then, he strode forward and extended a hand to Ye Xuan, his voice resonant and hearty as he said, "You’ve got personality, kid—much better than many young folks I’ve met. I appreciate you! Let’s formally introduce ourselves. My name is Du Yunfeng, Liu Ying’s uncle."

Ye Xuan’s indifferent expression transformed instantly into a flattering smile. He briskly walked up, took Du Yunfeng’s hand with both of his, and said eagerly with a sheepish grin, "Hello, Uncle! My name is Ye Xuan, ’Ye’ as in leaf and ’Xuan’ as in Xuan Yuan! Honestly, I’m really thankful that you’ve given me a way out. You might think I was calm just now, but that was all just an act. Inside, my heart was pounding with nerves. But with your open-mindedness, not taking offense to my behavior, I feel a deep respect for you as someone young and ignorant, otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to face your anger!"

Right off the bat, Ye Xuan laid on the flattery thickly, then didn’t forget to add a compliment, "Before I met you, Uncle, I’ve always considered myself the most handsome man under heaven! But after seeing you, I realize I was wrong. There indeed is someone more handsome than me, and that person is you, Uncle! Compared to you, I’m nothing more than a lump of clay from the mud pit."

Everyone: "..."

Liu Ying: "..."

"..." Du Yunfeng’s mouth twitched involuntarily as he gave Ye Xuan a serious once-over: "You certainly have a shameless appearance!"

After a pause, he added, "You’ve got the same flair as I did when I was young."

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment, Uncle!"

Ye Xuan scratched his head and chuckled.

Not a hint of disdain could be found, rather, he seemed absolutely proud as he stood up straight!

Good grief!

What just happened here?

Seeing this scene unfold, everyone around was dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, these two were on the verge of clashing swords. Now they were laughing and complimenting each other—it was a completely rapid reversal!

It was utterly incomprehensible!

Liu Ying was also bewildered. Weren’t these two puffing up in anger as if they were sworn enemies just moments ago? How did they suddenly make peace? Even the words she had prepared no longer seemed fitting to say.

Her mind was at a loss for words. Damn it! Can someone please tell me who’s writing this script? Are you sure we’re not filming a TV drama?

Hua Tian, who had been gloating over the situation, also showed an alternating expression of sunshine and clouds, turning quite unsightly!

The plot hadn’t unfolded as he had imagined; not only did Ye Xuan avoid offending Du Yunfeng, but he also won his appreciation.

Such melodramatic events could also happen? Was this all too fake? Or maybe the script was being followed incorrectly?

Meanwhile, standing by Du Yunfeng’s side, Shangguan Qili sighed and said, "This young man indeed has the same flair as Old Du back in his youth."

After saying that, she turned to her son, Du Mingcheng, "When your father was still the young master of the family, he was a shameless fellow! He would do any brazen and thick-skinned thing, with a face so thick that bullets couldn’t pierce it."

Err...

Upon hearing this, Du Mingcheng was speechless. It was the first time he had heard his mom mention such things, and his interest in gossip immediately flared up.

"Mum, did Dad woo you by playing dirty tricks back in the day?"

With a sly look on his face, he asked.

"That’s right, your father’s shamelessness back then was even worse than this young man’s! He used so many unsavory and gangster-like tactics on me that I’m too embarrassed to even speak of them." Shangguan Qili covered her face with one hand, appearing too shy to say more.

"Haha! It seems then, Brother Ye and my dad are indeed cut from the same cloth; perhaps they were just pretending all along, and even I was fooled."

Du Mingcheng clapped his hands and laughed, no wonder these two had turned hostility into friendship—they were birds of a feather after all.

Liu Ying, standing by, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this conversation. It was good that the two men didn’t come into conflict, otherwise she wouldn’t know how to resolve the situation!

"You mother and son are talking behind my back—not a good habit."

Du Yunfeng turned his head and glanced at Shangguan Qili and Du Mingcheng as he spoke.

"Oh? So now I can’t talk about you? The ridiculous things you’ve done in the past—if not a thousand, certainly eight hundred! Before you criticize others, you should think about your own past misdeeds. I must educate my son properly to not pick up your bad habits!"

Shangguan Qili snorted coldly, speaking without any politeness.

"Let’s leave it at that! Past is like the wind, better not mentioned. Back then, I was just a green young lad—what’s so strange about doing those things?"

Du Yunfeng was truly thick-skinned, unfazed even with his own wife exposing him.

Then, he turned his gaze to Liu Ying and smiled, "Xiao Ying, I’ve looked over this lad for you; he’s a good man! He also has a personality that very much suits my taste, upright and sincere—a man of true character. I like such young people."

"Uncle, as if someone I have chosen could be anything less than excellent?" Liu Ying said proudly.

"However, that’s just my first impression. I still need to assess him thoroughly. If even one item is unsatisfactory, don’t even think about the two of you being together."

Du Yunfeng abruptly changed the tone of the conversation.

"Whatever you say—it doesn’t matter. My judgment is far better than yours. If someone I’ve picked out gets rejected by you, wouldn’t that mean there’s a problem with my taste?" Liu Ying said dismissively, curling her lip.

"Even so, I still need to vet him for you; it’s my responsibility to do so," Du Yunfeng stated, not open to discussion.

"What vetting? You didn’t even care this much about your own son!"

Shangguan Qili interjected.

"Is a man the same as a woman? My sister died early, and as her uncle, don’t I have to vet for her?" Du Yunfeng said.

Liu Ying helplessly said, "Uncle, it’s fine for you to vet him, but let me make it clear, you’re not allowed to deliberately set obstacles or make it hard for him! Otherwise, I’ll be upset."

"Alright, I promise you! Today is your birthday, so whatever you say goes."

Du Yunfeng smiled and nodded readily.

He knew his niece well—her temperament, inherited from her mother, was just like their Du Family’s: absolutely unafraid to turn a face!

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Liu Ying giggled, then went over to Ye Xuan’s side, looping her arm through his, and said to Du Yunfeng and Shangguan Qili,

"Uncle and Aunt, you two enjoy your stroll. Ye Xuan and I won’t keep you company."

With that, she took Ye Xuan by the arm and turned to leave.
