Chapter 281: Cang Yunhao's Disdain
Cang Yunhao was startled for a moment, then said proudly, "I'm Cang Yunhao, Xu Qingyue's fiancé."
As he spoke, he gave Zhao Dong a cold look. "I heard you can treat illnesses? Hmph, I think you're just blowing smoke. You're just a kid. How could you possibly treat anyone?"
Zhao Dong smiled faintly. "Oh, so I can't? Then I suppose you can?"
Cang Yunhao slammed his palm on the table and roared, "Zhao Dong! My Cang Family is a renowned family of healers. Of course I know how to treat illnesses! Who the hell do you think you are, getting sarcastic with me?"
Zhao Dong curled his lip and shrugged. "Ah, so that's why you're acting so high and mighty. A renowned family of healers, you say? How impressive."
"Of course I'm more capable than you!" Cang Yunhao seethed through gritted teeth. "Got a problem with that?"
Zhao Dong just smiled faintly. He stuck a cigarette between his lips, lit it, and took a long drag before exhaling slowly. "So what if I don't agree?"
Cang Yunhao sneered. "Zhao Dong, do you dare compete with me in medical skill? If you win, I'll admit you have some ability. If you lose, you will get the hell out of here, and you'll kowtow to me three times in apology!"
Zhao Dong shot Cang Yunhao a lazy, sidelong glance. "What a clown."
Cang Yunhao shot up from his seat, enraged. "Zhao Dong, who do you think you're talking to? If you've got the guts, stop running your mouth and compete with me!"
Xu Qingyue frowned. "Yunhao, Zhao Dong is my benefactor and a guest of the Xu family. You're being rude. That's enough. No competition. Let's just eat."
Cang Yunhao frowned back. "Qingyue, you should be on my side. I'm your fiancé, and I'm worried about your safety. I have a bad feeling about this Zhao Dong; I don't think he's a good person. I have to expose his true colors. You should stay away from him from now on!"
Xu Qingyue's frown deepened. "Young Master Cang, you've gone too far."
Cang Yunhao sneered, his gaze shifting back to Zhao Dong. "What's wrong, Zhao Dong? Hiding in your shell like a turtle? Do you dare to compete with me or not?"
Zhao Dong took another drag from his cigarette, his eyes sweeping indifferently over Cang Yunhao. "Normally, I couldn't be bothered with a jumping clown like you, but it seems you're used to throwing your weight around. Fine. I'll teach you a lesson today. How do you want to do this?"
Cang Yunhao furrowed his brow, his mind racing. He was determined to put Zhao Dong in his place today. Everyone in the Xu family, even Xu Qingyue herself, seemed to think so highly of the man. She was defending Zhao Dong with a passion she had never once shown him. This made Cang Yunhao's stomach churn with a mixture of jealousy and resentment.
Especially with Xu Qingyue here. This is the perfect chance to show off and put Zhao Dong in his place for good.
The Xu family never stops praising him, do they? If I crush him, put him right under my heel, won't they have to start fawning all over me instead?
At this thought, Cang Yunhao's smile grew wider.
After a moment of thought, Cang Yunhao said, "Since we're competing, we have to be fair. This will be the perfect way to expose you for the fraud you are! Here's the plan..." His gaze swept over everyone at the table before he continued with a chuckle. "Alright, here's how it will be: we will each diagnose the health problems of everyone present and propose a treatment method. How about it? Whoever diagnoses more conditions with greater accuracy, and can prove they can provide a cure, is the winner. Deal?"
Zhao Dong scoffed. "Boring. Not interested."
"You—!" Cang Yunhao's face flushed with rage, and he was about to explode. But just then, a noisy commotion erupted in the corridor outside the private room. A moment later, it was followed by a sharp cry of alarm
