The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Do You Want To Slap Their Faces?
Huang Xiaolong’s explanation of this ancient medicine provoked a burst of laughter from everyone present.

Hardly anyone believed this nonsense!

“6 hours to make a dwarf grow over twenty centimeters? Oh, come on~~~is this the Immortal Pill of Taishang Laojun?”

“Damn… This guy is a fraudster! A complete fraudster!”

“And he’s an utter charlatan too… Who would be fooled by this? Only ignorant country bumpkins, perhaps!”

…

If anyone still trusted Huang Xiaolong, it was just his close-knit friends like his wife, Song Yuru, Shu Qinghan and a few others!

However, when Shu Qinglan herself looked into Huang Xiaolong’s clear eyes, she unexpectedly felt a sense of indescribable trust!

Those eyes were so pure, like a sky washed by rain, so immaculately clean… Shu Qinglan believed that the owner of these eyes would never lie! He would never deceive her!

“I… I believe you! I’ll take this medicine! I’m willing to take it!” Shu Qinglan clenched her fists tightly, her tear-filled eyes looking at Huang Xiaolong. Her words carried a hint of determination!

No sooner had she said this than Mother Shu was the first to retort vehemently, “Qinglan, don’t act rashly! Can you randomly take medicine? Mr. Huang, may I ask, have you… have you tested this ancient medicine on anyone before? In other words, has anyone taken it before?”

“No…”Huang Xiaolong shook his head. “This ancient medicine, made by re-finishing the best resources of heaven and earth, and the techniques of refining, are my exclusive secret formula, so the ancient medicine is very precious. So far, I can’t bear to let anyone take it… Besides, most of the people I know don’t need to take this kind of medicine, like my wife, who already has a good height ratio and doesn’t need to grow taller…”

“This… this… so, Mr. Huang, you’ve just used my daughter Qinglan as a… experimented on as a guinea pig?” Mother Shu, initially forced to be polite, now lashed out.

Despite being disliked, Qinglan is her own flesh and blood! How could she casually let her daughter take medicine that no one else has even tried?

Utilizing this opportunity, Chen Zihuan sneered, “Ha, what a far-fetched fancy. Without any practice, it’s even worse than an armchair strategist… in case such medicine poses even a tiny problem, if hastily consumed, it’s likely going to cause death!”

His words turned everyone’s faces in one another’s direction.

Indeed, this was no exaggeration.

Medicine is no game, definitely not something to be taken just anyhow.

Even if it’s not as exaggerated as causing death, if a fake medicine harms the physical body, that would be terrifying.

Everyone present was rich or noble, who cared about their health. Who would want to risk their life to test the medicine? Even if it’s a dwarf, it’s better to be alive than dead. Because once dead, there is nothing left!

The scene filled with condemnations towards Huang Xiaolong escalated.

“Cough cough~~~ Alright, everyone… please quiet down…” Father Shu looked at Huang Xiaolong reproachfully out of the corner of his eye, but since Huang Xiaolong saved Shu Qinghan’s life and was valued by the Lin Family and Sun Family, he couldn’t let Huang Xiaolong be humiliated here. So he tried to divert the topic. “Mr. Huang meant well. Everyone should not blame him. Well… let’s not talk about the medicine here. As the father of Qinglan and Qinghan, I have some heartfelt words to share.”

The room gradually quieted down.

Father Shu glanced at Shu Qinglan with a look of remorse and helplessness, then cleared his throat. “Ladies and Gentlemen! Today, Qinglan has also reached the age of 20… she has been sensible since childhood… but her mother and I have always been very worried about her… To be straightforward, today, while we have many young talents present, her mother and I want to find Qinglan a fiance… umm… umm… We do not have any other conditions, just need someone who will genuinely treat Qinglan well, taking care of her, loving her for the rest of his life, and we will be satisfied… As for the dowry, rest assured, we will make it worthwhile…”

Upon hearing these words, all the single men present were dumbstruck!

Could it be?

Besides choosing a fiance for Shu Qinghan today, they’re also selecting a fiance for this dwarf?

Isn’t that a joke?

The single men present were the cream of the crop in Binhai, being young, successful, and well-off. Who the hell would be willing to marry a dwarf? Isn’t that pushing oneself into a fire pit?

Isn’t that just troublesome?

For a while, almost all the single men shook their heads.

Father Shu and Mother Shu swept their hopeful eyes around the room, their gaze inevitably landing on Chen Zihuan.

Chen Zihuan immediately loud-voiced. “Cough cough~ Miss Qinglan, kind-hearted, physically handicapped… oh, lively and cheerful… but… today… today I came for Miss Qinghan… I… I believe that Miss Qinglan… will… hopefully find her perfect match someday…”

Even though Father Shu and Mother Shu did not mean it that way, Chen Zihuan hastily cleared himself, almost saying “physically handicapped but determined”…

“Hmph~~~ a bunch of blind people.” Huang Xiaolong sneered, then looked at Chen Zihuan playfully. “Are you sure you won’t regret it?”

“Me regret? Hahaha~~~ I’m going to regret it?” Chen Zihuan seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. “Stop prodding me, I never regret anything I’ve done or said since I was a child!”

Observing their contemptuous and disgusted glances, even treating her like discarded shoes, Shu Qinglan’s mind remained steady even after seeing countless disdainful eyes she suffered growing up.

She was used to it, indifferent!

“Oh~~~~~” Father Shu and Mother Shu were full of disappointment.

It seemed that the plan to find Shu Qinglan a fiance was falling through!

Even when pointing out they could disregard anything, even promising a generous dowry, there was still no one willing to accept it!

“Husband, perhaps, our daughter will only be able to marry a man from an average family…” Mother Shu reluctantly said.

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong walked straight towards Shu Qinglan, “Qinglan, do you want to slap these people across the face? People who reject you, despise you, ridicule you, and even consider you disabled… do you want to slap them?”

“I!” Shu Qinglan’s hands clenched tightly, her fingernails digging into her flesh, drawing some blood.

Slap across the face?

She had been ridiculed countless times in her life, treated as a waste in her own family!

Wouldn’t she want to slap them in the face?

“I! I want to! I want to slap them! I want everyone who looks down on me…to…to…regret it!” Shu Qinglan said through gritted teeth and tears.

“If you want to slap them, then take these three pills.” Huang Xiaolong offered the ancient medicine to Shu Qinglan!
