Zhang Hongru felt a wave of disappointment upon hearing Chen Xuan's response, coupled with immense confusion.
Yesterday on the street, Chen Xuan had stepped up to help a passerby, so it made no sense that he would outright refuse when someone came to him for help. It simply defied logic!
In the end, Zhang Hongru finally realized that Chen Xuan's refusal must be related to these people from the Han Family!
It was very likely that he rejected Zhang because he was upset with the Han Family members!
With this in mind, Zhang Hongru already had a plan forming in his heart.
"I understand, Miracle Doctor Chen. It was my intrusion that was abrupt. Please don't blame me, I'll take my leave now!"
With that, Zhang Hongru stood up and left without another word.
"Damn fool, to even dare offend Doctor Zhang! Are you trying to kill me with anger!"
No sooner had Zhang Hongru left than Madam Han burst out in a fury.
"Grandma, I think he's not just trying to anger you; he essentially wants to doom our Han Family!"
Han Chengye pointed at Chen Xuan and continued, "Do you know what Doctor Zhang's status is? He is not only the leading authority in Huai City's medical field but also the president of the Medical Association! Having offended him, I'm afraid our Han Corporation will find it difficult to make any progress in Huai City in the future!"
The rest of the Han Family burst into righteous indignation upon hearing Han Chengye's words.
"You, Chen Xuan, are truly adept at nothing but causing trouble!"
"It would have been fine if you didn't help, but you even brought chaos to our Han Family!"
"The contract that Chengye worked so hard to get. Just like that, you ruined it!"
"Grandma, you definitely can't let him off easily!"
"Right, he can't be let off easily!"
Jeopardizing someone's livelihood was akin to killing their parents. At that moment, Chen Xuan had aroused the collective wrath of the Han Family.
Watching these angry members of the Han Family, Chen Xuan could only smile wryly.
"You all said it yourselves: I'm just a waste who hasn't even finished college, but you expect me to treat Doctor Zhang's grandson. Don't you see the contradiction in that?"
The Han Family members looked at each other, at a loss for words.
"Shut your mouth!"
Madam Han exploded in anger.
"Since you ungrateful wretch don't know what's good for you, then don't blame this old lady for being heartless. From today onwards, all of your family's monthly dividends will be completely cut off!"
"What..."
Han Jingting and Ding Lijuan were stunned in place.
Their family's main source of income was the monthly dividends from the Han Corporation. Having the dividends cut off now was nothing short of a disaster for their whole family!
Chen Xuan furrowed his brows, "Even if there was wrongdoing, it's on me. Why punish Jingting?"
Madam Han sneered, "How I choose to deal with it is none of a son-in-law's business like yours to pipe up about!"
"Exactly, if Jingting wants to blame anyone, she should blame you, a worthless man. Let's see if you'll still be so self-righteous in the future!"
Han Chengye looked smug.
Ding Lijuan had always been dissatisfied with Chen Xuan, and at this moment, she looked at him as if she wished she could skin him alive.
"This is all thanks to you!"
Chen Xuan hadn't expected his refusal to cause such trouble for Han Jingting's family and felt guilty as a result.
"Jingting, don't worry, I'll find a way to deal with the money issue!"
Although Chen Xuan might not have been capable of providing happiness to Han Jingting before, now that he possessed exceptional medical skills, earning money would certainly be a lot easier.
Unfortunately, no one was willing to believe him.
Seeing an opportunity, Han Chengye sneered, "A son-in-law like you, who is nothing without our Han Family, still talking about finding a way? You wouldn't be able to find a way to do anything—be glad if Jingting doesn't end up starving with you!"
"Exactly, Jingting, I would have dumped a man like him long ago. I really don't know how you've put up with him all these years!"
Tian Wenmei ostensibly showed sympathy but was actually stirring the pot.
The couple's words poured fuel on the fire, making Han Jingting uncontrollably angry.
"Let's go!"
Han Jingting picked up Xiaoyu and turned to leave without looking back.
Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen glanced sharply at Chen Xuan and left in a huff.
"Jingting, Xiaoyu!"
Chen Xuan chased after them, only to see Han Jingting's car speeding away.
Chen Xuan sighed. He knew that this time Han Jingting was truly angry.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to ride home on a rented bicycle he had swept from the roadside, a black Audi A8 suddenly stopped in front of him, and the person who got out was none other than Zhang Hongru!
"What, you again?"
"Divine Doctor Chen, it's still about my grandson's matter. He is in a critical condition, I beg you to save him! I implore you!"
As he spoke, Zhang Hongru knelt down again, tears streaming down his face.
Seeing Zhang Hongru in this state, Chen Xuan felt a pang of pity.
Even if there were grudges, it was with Zhang Yuan, not with the Zhang Hongru before him.
Chen Xuan simply couldn't bear to watch an old man fall into despair over his grandson's illness, just as he had been desperate when faced with his daughter's sickness.
"Doctor Zhang, let me ask you, if a stranger was ill, and you were the only one in the world who could save her, would you rush back to help her, no matter how far the distance?"
"As a doctor, I have the heart of a parent, so naturally, I would be willing!"
Zhang Hongru's expression was firm, his sincerity genuine, clearly not just paying lip service.
Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, I'll give your grandson's illness a try!"
