Chapter 377 — Playing the Supporting Role for Once
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"There's no point in staying here. I may as well keep Mr. Lin company!" Liu Tianyi immediately declared his loyalty. He knew full well how important a divine doctor was to a family!
And a divine doctor of this kind, one who could work miracles with a mere touch! So Liu Tianyi had long since set aside his pride. What use were all his money and power? Once dead, he would have nothing at all.
But with a friend like Wei Zhao, it was as good as having an extra免死金牌, a death-exemption placard. Liu Tianyi was no fool!
Kang Jingming's father had initially wanted to step forward and scold his son — what sort of friends had he made, coming to a banquet to make a scene? But at this moment, all he felt was excitement!
His son's classmate was actually so capable, and both Liu Tianyi of the Liu family and Doctor Guan, Guan Xuewen, treated him with the utmost friendliness. This sent Divine Doctor Kang's prestige plummeting to a new low!
Wei Zhao turned his head and gave Kang Jingming a faint glance: "If you're a man, take Xiaofen's hand and prove it to them!"
This was a good opportunity for Kang Jingming. If he forcibly acknowledged Xiaofen as his girlfriend now, then even if Kang Jingming's parents were unwilling in their hearts, there would be nothing they could do about it!
He had already given him a good start. Now the momentum of the whole hall was on his side. If Kang Jingming took Xiaofen's hand and announced something to Kang Jingming, what he would receive would not be the crowd's contempt, but shock!
Kang ** nodded, took Xiaofen by the hand, and raised his head high to look at Kang Jingming: "Second Cousin, the harm you have done to Xiaofen — one day, sooner or later, I will repay it in full!"
"What sort of talk is that? Don't go thinking that because your friends happen to know a few big names, you are a big name yourself!" Kang Jingming was arrogant and domineering, but he was no fool. Seeing how eagerly Liu Tianyi and Guan Xuewen had sung the praises of that Longevity and Detoxification Pill, he knew at once that he had blundered badly.
That pill might very well have been the real thing, and who knew from what corner that fellow beside Kang ** had dug it up — yet whatever it was, he had trampled it to pieces!
So Kang Jingming was plainly fierce in word but faint at heart, afraid that the others would blame him, and thus he shifted the target of all suspicion onto Kang **.
Kang ** paid him no mind. Instead he turned his eyes to Second Grandfather and said, with some disappointment: "Divine Doctor Kang, is it? I am not worthy of the connection. When someone else gave you a fake ginseng and a fake prescription, you accepted them with delight; but when I sincerely gave you a Longevity and Detoxification Pill, you treated it like garbage... Heh. This family gate — I am better off not entering it at all!"
With that, Kang ** took Xiaofen by the hand and strode out of the banquet hall.
Wei Zhao had already laid the groundwork for him; if Kang ** still lacked the courage to stand up and say these things, then he would truly be a coward.
Wei Zhao took Tang Zhi by the hand and followed behind Kang **. Today he had come in the role of supporting player; the lead was still Kang **!
Watching the receding figures of Kang ** and Wei Zhao, Divine Doctor Kang knew that this day's birthday feast was destined to become a farce.
"Where is that pill?" Unable to contain his displeasure, Divine Doctor Kang could only vent his resentment on Kang Jingming.
"The pill..." Kang Jingming's heart lurched, and he looked toward the spot where he had just trampled it...
The Longevity and Detoxification Pill that Kang Jingming had crushed to powder had long since been wiped clean by the attendant responsible for cleaning the banquet hall, and the floor was spotless once more. Faster than fast, safer than safe! diA
