"Mr. Smith, we truly failed to recognize your worth before. Our apologies for such short-sightedness, please be magnanimous." The appliance tycoon Matthew regretted his earlier mockery and contempt toward the young man profoundly. Evan had discerned his chronic leg issues with but a glance, and benevolently provided a treatment plan despite their poor treatment of him, albeit only the first three steps. "Yes, Prodigy, do not hold our transgressions against us. A doctor's heart is merciful - rise above our pettiness and heal us!" The rest pleaded for Evan's forgiveness as well, though their true aim remained securing his medical expertise. "And Mr. Walker?" Evan regarded each petitioner, asking, "Why hasn't he come? Wasn't his condition the most critical? Does he no longer require treatment?""Ah, Mr. Walker was badly shaken. His legs went numb and he couldn't walk." Dominic answered truthfully."Very well, let's return upstairs then." Evan glanced at Daisy. "If no one interferes thi
No sooner had they reached the hall than thunderous applause and praises erupted!"A true prodigy! Not only curing old Mr. Clark but restoring his youth!""I've never witnessed such medical skill in my life. Incredible! This can't be called medicine, but magic!""Magic, yes, it was like magic! You must treat our afflictions too, I beg you!" "...""Enough!" Evan cut them off with a wave. "No more praise, we're done for today. If you desire treatment, schedule through Daisy. I'm tired and going home now. Discuss any remaining matters with her." He jotted down his number and handed it to Daisy, then strode away under their dumbfounded stares."He's leaving the rest to me?" Daisy stared after Evan's retreating back, clutching the paper tightly. "But I guess this works out - at least I got his number.""That was thrilling, but now it's time to leave!" Evan strode out of the hospital, and as soon as he stepped outside, the clouds overhead dispersed instantly, letting dappled sunlight fil
"Stop!"Evan raised his hand and said lightly, "Have them reschedule. I'm busy the next couple days, I'm going back home to the countryside!""You're going back home to the countryside?"Hearing that Evan was going back to his rural hometown, Daisy immediately became excited like a little girl, her eyes sparkling: "Where is your hometown? Is it also in Lumina City? What delicious food and fun attractions do you have there?""..."Seeing her like this, Evan couldn't help sighing inwardly - ah, is this still the famously cold campus belle Daisy? She's clearly just a little girl who hasn't grown up!"Don't ask so much, just go tell them to reschedule. Now take me home, I'm in a hurry.""Oh!" Daisy pouted in response.The two got in the car, and whether intentionally or not, Daisy stretched the hour-long drive into two hours, chattering away nonstop the whole time!This forced Evan to pretend to sleep, but still failed to stop Daisy's ceaseless cherry lips.Finally, the black Mercedes pul
"Eighteen is still early? She's of legal marriage age, and at her age in the past, many would already be mothers." Gavin Smith guffawed dismissively with a wave of his hand. "Hannah, just go get your husband. An opportunity like this to get rich doesn't come often. It's fleeting, don't you women understand anything?"Just as he was speaking, voices suddenly drifted in from outside, growing nearer and nearer."Dad, uncle, let me make this clear. Don't blame me for being an undutiful younger generation! Uncle, stop this. You're just bullying our family for being honest and poor. That's why you're being so arrogant! And Dad, you're the same, just taking it so meekly when people bully us!"Even angered, the voice remained gentle and refined – it was undoubtedly Bella's."Bella! How can you talk like that? Oh, the land your grandfather left, why should your family get the biggest share? It should be divided equally, then each would get 1.4 acres. Why does your family get 1.7 acres? Today I
"Hmph! Do you even think about who my future in-laws are backed by? Me! Understand? Such arrogance, bullying my in-laws!" After speaking, his eyes narrowed at James Reed. The implied meaning was clear to even a fool – Right? If so, make a sound, and after sounding off, explain today's agenda to me!To Keith, his constant mention of "in-laws" was enthusiastic and catchy. But to the Smith family's ears, it was far from pleasing!Uncle Campbell felt a chill down his spine every time Keith said "in-law", as if his life had plunged to the deepest hell!And to Bella and her father, it was sickening, as if Bella becoming his daughter-in-law was already set in stone. As if his words were gospel that all must obey in this house!"Yes, I was just about to say the same!" James Reed naturally understood Keith's intent. He cleared his throat with two coughs. "Old Smith, I've come today to propose a marriage for your daughter Bella. Look, it's Mr. West's son Jayden West sitting over there. Good m
Keith's furious face slowly morphed into a sinister smile, the two expressions mingling to look especially fiendish and creepy. He took out a slip of paper from his pocket. "Old Smith, you've forgotten something!"Keith's words made everyone in the room pause in confusion, unsure what he was about to bring up next!But seeing his sinister and cunning expression, the Smith family of three was filled with a sense of unease. This likely wasn't going to be good!"Old Smith, important figures sure do forget things easily!" Keith arrogantly strode over to Rivera, waving the little slip of paper with a ghastly grin. "Old Smith, didn't you borrow $30,000 from me last year for Evan and Bella's college tuition? I've come to your home today, isn't it inappropriate not to repay me?""Great job, Dad!"His son Jayden immediately gave him a thumbs up. Of course he knew that slip was the IOU his father had spent two hours digging out that morning!Moreover, he also knew that this debt had already b
"Mm!" Evan nodded helplessly. "After I finish home matters, I'll get a pilot's license. Then I won't have to trouble you anymore. After all, paying your $1000 daily wage pains me a bit!""... " The pilot was instantly speechless. A tycoon who could afford to spend $500 million on a helicopter and airspace was pained over a $1000 daily wage?"WHOOSH!"As they spoke, the helicopter landed, the gust blowing down grass dozens of meters around, as well as some of the weaker villagers who had come to watch the spectacle.Wearing sunglasses with a faint smile, Evan coolly stepped out of the helicopter: "Fellow villagers, I'm Rivera Smith's son, Evan Smith. Long time no see!""Gasp!" The crowd immediately burst into exclamations."It really is Rivera's brat Evan! Wow, so this is his triumphant return? Wow, coming back by helicopter with a fleet of luxury cars!""Evan is so successful now? No way, he must have rented the helicopter! And the car fleet too. Our village had an example before,
A student? A sophomore?And one without any connections?Fuck! Then who allowed you to speak to me that way?Keith West immediately collected himself and yelled, "How to resolve it? What else can be done? Either pay back the money or hand over the girl! No third option today!""That's your solution? Settle problems with money?" Evan's mouth curled into a sneer. "All this fuss over 30,000 bucks? Tsk tsk, quite a reputation drop for the boss of Grain Company!""Oh, so you're loaded then?"Keith West waved the IOU in Evan's face mockingly. "Don't tell me you thought this was just 30,000. Heh heh, the IOU includes interest! Up till today, it comes to 570,000 total. Your destitute family can't possibly pay that back. Just obediently hand over the girl!""I'll hack you to death!" Rage surged wildly within Rivera Smith like tidal waves. His eyes already blazed with fire. "No money, but you want my daughter? Over my dead body! I didn't write any interest on that IOU. You pulled that out of
