The Villain Who Slapped the Heroines Until They Begged to Marry Him - Chapter 24:

Chapter 24: Oh My, You’re the Genius Doctor of Medicine Valley!:

As soon as Zhang Feng returned home with Yang Lu and Ye Fan, he called for the key family members to join them, and the kitchen began preparing a meal.

“What? Brother Ye Fan, you’re from the legendary Medicine Valley? Do you know the genius doctor Gu Santong?” Zhang Xuehua asked, her excitement obvious as they gathered around the dining table. Not only was she eager, but everyone else was looking at Ye Fan with admiration. Yang Lu, who was quietly eating beside them, was completely ignored.

It wasn’t surprising. After all, the Medicine Valley was a place of legend, said to be home to unmatched medical experts. And Gu Santong, known as the Medicine Valley Genius Doctor, was a once-in-a-century prodigy, said to be able to bring people back from the brink of death with a single acupuncture session.

Zhang Feng’s illness had stumped countless doctors, and they had even considered seeking out the genius doctor of Medicine Valley, though they had no idea where to find him. But now, incredibly, someone from Medicine Valley had come to them! Even Zhang Feng, who was usually indifferent to such things, looked at Ye Fan with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Yang Lu, listening to all of this, felt a wave of secondhand embarrassment. ‘Seriously, does the author need to exaggerate so much? There should be limits to this level of self-promotion!’

Ye Fan, basking in the attention from Zhang Xuehua, puffed out his chest and replied with pride, “Gu Santong is my master, and I am the new-generation genius doctor of Medicine Valley!”

“What?!”

“Gu Santong is your master?”

“A new-generation Medicine Valley genius doctor!”

“Oh my, our Zhang family has truly brought a dragon into our midst!”

The moment Ye Fan made this declaration, the Zhang family members erupted in excitement. None of them could believe the identity of the young man before them. The legendary Gu Santong was his master, and he was now the new Guigu genius doctor!

Yang Lu, meanwhile, almost choked on his food. He coughed, catching everyone’s attention. They stared at him in bewilderment, thinking, ‘How could two young men be so different?’

They had no idea that Yang Lu was stifling laughter. ‘These people are putting on quite a show. They could win Oscars with this kind of performance!’

Based on typical plotlines, there should be a top Western doctor coming in soon, only to be humiliated and forced to bow to the protagonist. ‘Ah, the clichés of urban genius doctor novels. Maybe it’s time I spice things up a bit.’ He thought suppressing a sigh.

Ye Fan noticed Yang Lu’s reaction and felt an even greater sense of disdain. From their earlier conversation, he already knew Yang Lu was just a spoiled young master—not even worth his attention. To Ye Fan, Yang Lu wasn’t even qualified to polish his shoes.

Zhang Xuehua shot Yang Lu a cold look, now fully focused on Ye Fan. Her expression softened as she addressed him, “Brother Ye Fan, I have a request…”

For Zhang Xuehua, meeting Ye Fan was an incredible stroke of luck. She glanced nervously at her grandfather, then turned back to him, hoping he could cure her grandfather’s illness.

“Xuehua, you don’t need to say any more,” Ye Fan replied with a reassuring smile. “I can treat your grandfather’s condition. After the meal, I’ll start the treatment. I guarantee he’ll recover completely!”

Ye Fan could tell what was on her mind, and he could feel her admiration growing by the second. He was confident she was already under his spell. Not only that, but given her unique constitution, being with her would be immensely beneficial for him.

“Oh my gosh, Brother Ye Fan, you could tell he was sick just by looking? That’s incredible!” Zhang Xuehua clapped her hands, utterly amazed.

Yang Lu rolled his eyes. ‘Is her brain even working? Anyone could see that her grandfather is clearly unwell.’

He thought back to the novel and wondered why he hadn’t noticed Zhang Xuehua’s cluelessness before.

Zhang Feng, despite having made peace with his illness, couldn’t help but feel hopeful after hearing Ye Fan’s words. He clasped his hands together gratefully. “Thank you, Medicine Valley genius doctor.”

Ye Fan waved it off with a smug smile, but he made sure to cast a smug glance at Yang Lu. He sneered inwardly, “You’re nothing but a gluttonous fool. Anything you want, I’ll make sure you never get it.”
