The Divine Urban Physician

The store attendant of Armani extended a hand to retrieve the bank card in Sun Yi’s hand. Before she could do that, Sun Yi drew her hand back abruptly. Her sudden movements shocked the attendant.

“Miss, you’re…”

Sun Yi pretended to look at the clothes once more. Her eyebrows mashed together to form a frown and said, “I’ve decided that the colors on this attire don’t look good on him at all. We’ll browse for another.”

Without waiting for anyone’s response, Sun Yi grabbed ahold of Ye Chen’s hand and headed toward the exit.

If anyone found out she did not have enough money on her card, she would end up embarrassing herself for real.

Before they could leave the Armani store, He Qian appeared—no one knew when—and blocked the entrance. Her amused grin was affixed on Sun Yi’s face.

“Sun Yi, oh, Sun Yi. Don’t tell me you don’t have enough money to make the purchase? If that’s true, why bother coming to a place that only the upper-class can afford?”

He Qian raised her fair chin up high. Her eyes were full of disdain and contempt as she looked at Sun Yi.

Anger burned in Sun Yi’s heart, yet she replied politely, “It’s my right to decide what I want to buy. It doesn’t concern you. I think the colors don’t suit him at all. What’s the problem with that?”

He Qian sneered, “Oh, I know the truth. You don’t have enough money in your card, do you? There’s only so much you can earn from selling beauty medicine. Oh, that’s right. You still have a boyfriend, right? Don’t tell me he’s broke too? Two broke asses in Armani. Haha! What a joke.”

He Qian was getting ahead of herself. She took a few steps forward and teased, “Don’t expect me not to know how poor you were since senior high. You managed to gain more than six hundred marks in Gaokao that year, didn’t you? You should’ve been able to enroll in the Key University in the Capital City, but why didn’t you? That’s because you wanted to earn some quick money to foot your younger brother’s medical bills, right? Why is it so hard to admit that you’re broke?”

Redness bloomed on the rims of Sun Yi’s beautiful eyes. There was nothing she wanted more right now than to walk over and give He Qian a slap!

However, she knew very well that if the slap found its way to He Qian’s face, Sun Yi would lose her footing in River City.

He Qian had a good relationship with Chu Shuran. The Chu family had immense power and influence in River City. If Chu Shuran decided to target Sun Yi, Sun Yi would no doubt become unwelcome in River City.

It did not matter to Sun Yi if she was forced out of River City. However, she was concerned that they would target her brother too. She did not want that.

Therefore, she must swallow her grief and make sure the slap never happens, no matter what.

“Cat got your tongue? I’m right, no? It’s sad enough that you’re poor, but pretending to be rich? What a joke. Then again, you’re quite a looker. So, why don’t you marry a rich man and be done with it? You’d get whatever you want then, wouldn’t you?”

He Qian was getting carried away. She pointed to her boyfriend and said, “Oh, right. I forgot to introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Zhao Jun. Wanna know where he’s working at? I’m sure you’ve heard of North Name Corporation, haven’t you? North Name Corporation is worth so much more than your pathetic Magnificent Group. My Jun is none other than the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) in North Name Corporation, earning five million annually. Would you think about that!”

He Qian was about to continue when a lazy voice intercepted her.

“What CFO? I’ll give you a UFO.”

The voice belonged to no one else but Ye Chen.

He could not endure the conversation any longer. He Qian remained the same after so many years had passed. Give her the chance to speak, and she would bullshit her way to heaven, as though she was above everyone else in the world. He could never comprehend where people like her get their confidence from.

He Qian finally noticed Ye Chen’s presence after he had interrupted her speech. She scanned him from head to toe and said, “Oh, I forgot about you, you poor f*cker. I was just starting to wonder what your greatest achievement might be. Don’t tell me you’re a garbage collector? We have a bottle of mineral water in the car. Do you want it?”

He Qian and her boyfriend laughed.

Ye Chen shook his head. Sounding rather confident, he said, “I’m a miracle doctor. A miracle doctor with the power to decide life and death.”

Everyone lapsed into a deafening silence after he spoke. Then, they exploded in laughter.

“Haha! Sun Yi, oh, Sun Yi. You’ve got yourself an interesting boyfriend there. Miracle doctor? Deciding life and death? Hahaha… I can’t do this anymore… I’m going to laugh myself to death… Ow, my stomach hurts…”

Sun Yi rolled her eyes at Ye Chen too. She whispered, “Mentioning that job of yours in front of me is fine, just not with anyone else…”

The image of the ridiculous banners he made popped up in her head.

Ye Chen touched his nose with a helpless feeling forming in his heart. Why was it that no one believed the truth even when they were being told nowadays?

He was an authentic miracle doctor.

Was there not a fella named Shen Haihua who was tearing the world down to search for him? Must he drag that fella over to testify?

Oh, right. If Ye Chen recalled correctly, Shen Haihua from the Shen family called all the shots at North Name Corporation…

Thinking about that, Ye Chen suddenly shifted his gaze to He Qian’s boyfriend with a strange expression on his face.

Sun Yi could not bear to hear all the insults Ye Chen was receiving and tried to pull Ye Chen away.

“Let’s go. You should leave the clothes. We’re not taking them anymore…”

However, Ye Chen did not budge. He stared at Sun Yi intently and asked, “Do you really want to see me wearing this?”

Sun Yi froze. For reasons unknown to her, a sense of impending doom started to grow.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen approached the cashier, retrieved a card and said to the store attendant, “Wrap it up. Swipe the card.”

Sun Yi’s mouth was agape in horror. Had Ye Chen lost his mind?!

What in the world was he doing?!

There was no one clearer than Sun Yi when it came to how much money Ye Chen had.

He could not afford to pay his own rent!

As a matter of fact, he just borrowed three thousand bucks from her!

How could he afford something that cost several hundred thousand?!

Moreover, He Qian was watching them from the back. If the card failed, she would rain the cruelest insults on him!

‘Ye Chen, oh, Ye Chen. Why must you be so rash?’ Sun Yi lamented internally.

After observing what went on for a while, the store manager?1?realized that Ye Chen and Sun Yi had no money.

As the store manager was about to turn down Ye Chen’s request to swipe the card, she accidentally glimpsed the card in Ye Chen’s hand from the corner of her eye.

All of a sudden, her face paled.

That was the VIP Black Card issued by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China!

You could only apply for the VIP Black Card if you had more than ten million in savings!

After working at Armani for three years, it was not difficult for her to recognize the card for what it was.

She gave a hasty smile and said politely, “Glad to have you, sir. As you’re using the VIP Black Card, in collaboration with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, we shall give you another ten percent discount after the original discount for this…”

...

Hearing that, everyone’s face changed. Nobody expected that the card in Ye Chen’s hand to be a VIP Black Card!

He Qian stepped forward and spat in an accusatory tone, “Don’t think you’ll be able to get away with a fake card! If the transaction fails, you’ll go to jail for fraud!”

Sun Yi gave Ye Chen a tug, too. She said anxiously, “Take the card back. We’re leaving now! It’s fine. Better to be humiliated than being sent to the police station!”

Ye Chen turned his gaze on Sun Yi, who looked like she was about to pull her hair out. Ye Chen smiled. “Do you have so little faith in me? Do I look broke to you?”

Sun Yi almost fainted. It was not an issue of whether he looked broke or otherwise—he was definitely broke!

What came next was out of everyone’s expectation. Other than passing the card over to the store manager, Ye Chen announced proudly, “Swipe it! Just swipe it! Also, I don’t need any discounts! Charge me the original price! This man, I, am not short of money today!”

Parvenu much?

So be it!

‘I’ll be a parvenu for the day!’
