So heartless?
Luo Wuwen felt like crying but had no tears.
He hadn't expected Chu Fan to refuse him even after he had humbled himself and kowtowed.
*Jingle...*
The phone rang, and Chu Fan got up to go outside.
As for Luo Wuwen.
Whether he lived or died, Chu Fan couldn't be bothered.
Inside the Eternal Hall, countless physicians more outstanding than him served like slaves, fetching tea and water all day, yet none were accepted as disciples.
Who was Luo Wuwen to think he was special?
Did he truly believe that a man's knees held gold, and that kowtowing showed sincerity?
It was utterly ridiculous.
"This..."
Luo Wuwen was at a loss for what to do.
He had just declared that if Chu Fan didn't accept him as a disciple, he would kneel to death on the spot.
Now, with the main person absent, should he stand up or continue kneeling?
"Physician Luo, don't rush things. Take it slow!"
"The more you act like this, the less likely you are to gain Xiao Fan's approval."
"If you want to learn his medical skills, you don't necessarily have to become his disciple. If you become friends, I believe he'd be willing to teach you."
After careful consideration, Chen Tao's words made a lot of sense. Luo Wuwen stopped dwelling on it, stood up, and secretly plotted how to build a good relationship with Chu Fan and learn his medical skills.
A moment later, Chu Fan returned, holding a bag.
"Aunt Du, Uncle Chen, take this!"
"Inside are the villa documents and keys I bought for you. I don't know the exact location, just follow the address to find it."
"Everything is arranged. You can move in empty-handed!"
Chen Tao's family of three was stunned again.
When Chu Fan mentioned buying a house earlier, the couple hadn't taken it seriously.
Kind people never expect anything in return for their kindness.
The couple hadn't expected Chu Fan to repay them for saving Qin Xue back then.
As for Chen Yicheng, he had previously mocked Chu Fan, saying that the entire outfit Chu Fan wore wasn't worth as much as a single shoe of his, and that he couldn't possibly afford to buy a house for their family.
Now, his face was slapped hard.
"Xiao Fan, what are you doing? The fact that you could make my Uncle Chen stand again is already the greatest favor to our family. We don't need the house, take it back!"
Du Haixia's eyes were red, her heart filled with gratitude. She pushed back the bag Chu Fan offered.
She believed that as a person, one shouldn't be greedy.
The favor Chu Fan had bestowed upon their family was already immense; they didn't need a house.
Chu Fan smiled gently, "Aunt Du, I told you before, you are the greatest benefactors of my life.
"Now that I'm back, I will repay you properly."
"The house has already been transferred to your and Uncle Chen's names. Please accept it!"
"Also, there's a card inside with some money for your daily expenses!"
"More money will be deposited every year. Buy whatever you want!"
Chen Yicheng's eyes lit up, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
At this moment, he realized that he had truly underestimated Chu Fan.
Giving a villa was one thing, but also giving money, and with annual deposits.
If this were true?
Wouldn't he also be able to live a prosperous life from now on?
The more he thought about it, the more excited Chen Yicheng became.
But at this moment, a bucket of cold water was suddenly poured on him by Chu Fan.
"Uncle Chen, Aunt Du, the house and the money have been arranged. Only you two can use them. As for certain people, they are not qualified."
"You are not too old yet. I suggest you have another child and raise them well."
"Unlike some people, whose eyes are only on money, and who don't care if you live or die for the sake of money."
As soon as he said this, anyone who wasn't foolish could tell that "certain people" referred to Chen Yicheng.
Chen Yicheng couldn't touch a single cent of the money or the house given.
Chu Fan had long ago instructed that anyone could enter the house bought for Aunt Du and Uncle Chen, but Chen Yicheng alone was not qualified.
This was a last resort.
If not, no matter how much money was given to the couple, it would be squandered by Chen Yicheng.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Fan wouldn't bother with such matters.
However, Du Haixia and Chen Tao were his benefactors, and he couldn't bear to see the couple continue to be exploited by Chen Yicheng.
Du Haixia's expression was not good.
Chen Tao, however, spoke up, "Yes, Xiao Fan is absolutely right!"
"If I could move freely, I would have kicked him out long ago!"
"Haixia, when I recover my health, we'll have another child!"
*Plop!*
Chen Yicheng knelt on the ground, "Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong. Please don't abandon me. I truly know I was wrong!"
"I'll change from now on, I'll change immediately!"
Before this, Chen Yicheng had considered his parents a burden, constantly nagging him and being extremely annoying.
Now, he just wanted to be firmly tied to his parents.
Not being stupid, he understood clearly that if he couldn't get his parents to accept him, he wouldn't be able to enjoy a prosperous life.
"Get out!"
"I, Chen Tao, have no son like you. From this day forward, we have nothing to do with each other!"
Chen Tao had long hated Chen Yicheng's words and actions, but unable to move, he couldn't resist.
Now, thanks to Chu Fan, his life was about to change drastically.
Chen Tao knew very well that if he continued to indulge Chen Yicheng, no amount of family fortune would be enough for him to squander.
Du Haixia shed tears of pain and turned her back to Chen Yicheng.
Chu Fan still had matters to attend to and said, "Aunt Du, Uncle Chen, I have other things to handle, so I won't delay here. I'll come to see you again after I'm done!"
Refusing the couple's warm invitation for lunch, Chu Fan set off to leave.
As soon as he reached the stairwell, Chen Yicheng and Luo Wuwen chased after him.
*Plop.*
Chen Yicheng knelt before Chu Fan.
"Big Brother, it was my fault for not recognizing your true worth. Please, don't let my parents abandon me!"
"I truly know I was wrong, I'll change, I'll change, won't that do!"
He knew that his parents now only listened to Chu Fan, and if he wanted to enjoy a prosperous life, the only way was to find a breakthrough through him.
Chu Fan didn't want to pay him any mind, but he still stopped.
"Since you want to change, then change first, instead of just talking about it."
"Someone will be monitoring your every word and action. When I feel you have truly changed, I will then have Uncle Chen accept you."
Chen Yicheng nodded joyfully, "I will change, I will change!"
Although Chen Tao had spoken so cruelly earlier.
Chu Fan knew that as parents, facing their son, they couldn't remain as resolute as they would with outsiders.
If Chen Yicheng truly reformed, the couple would also find some solace.
Reaching Ji Ningyue's car downstairs, and seeing Luo Wuwen still trailing behind, Chu Fan suddenly stopped.
"Don't bother me!"
"You are not qualified!"
Luo Wuwen watched the car drive away with longing eyes, then collapsed to the ground, powerless.
He knew that he had missed the qualification to become a supreme physician, all because of his short-sightedness.
Chu Fan's understanding of the long-lost Grand Luo Immortal Needle Array indeed qualified him to disdain all physicians in Shanhai City.
He couldn't understand how Chu Fan, at such a young age, possessed such superb medical skills.
Why had he never heard of such a person before?
Ji Ningyue drove Chu Fan to a very imposing house in the suburbs.
"Young Master, it's this house!"
Investigations showed that the male owner of this house was the driver who had caused Chen Tao's disability years ago.
Not only did he escape punishment after crippling Chen Tao, but he also became rich overnight, built the most imposing house in the vicinity, and lived a prosperous life.
From this, it could be inferred that the car accident was not an accident but an act of revenge.
"You stay in the car!"
After saying this, Chu Fan walked to the entrance.
The door was slightly ajar.
But he still kicked it open.
*Bang...*
The exquisite front door collapsed with a loud crash.
