Chapter 270: My Master Is Ye Xiu

"What?"

Bao Yadong’s face darkened instantly. He handed Xiaobao to Bao Niannian, walked up to Ye Xiu with a frosty expression, and yelled, "Who let you come here? Get out! I don’t want to see you."

Ye Xiu was about to explain that he wasn’t there to see Bao Yadong, but to find the Ghost Doctor, who was in the operating room performing surgery on Shen Shihao.

Before he could speak, Xu Fengmei began trying to persuade Bao Yadong. "Niannian’s dad, even though this guy is a scumbag and worthless, he’s still Xiaobao’s father. I think he means to amend his ways. Maybe we should give him a chance."

"No way!" Bao Yadong refused decisively, saying angrily, "Where was he when Niannian was pregnant? Where was he when Niannian was giving birth? Where was he when Xiaobao was sick? Niannian raised Xiaobao all by herself until he was one and a half, enduring so much hardship. Where was he then? Now he suddenly remembers Niannian and Xiaobao? What was he doing before? I will never allow him to get near Niannian and Xiaobao again."

Pointing at Ye Xiu, he scolded, "Get out! Just get out! If I find out you’re bothering Niannian and Xiaobao again, I’ll finish you."

Ye Xiu was truly astounded by this family’s intelligence. How could they all lose their minds whenever the topic of Xiaobao’s father came up?

He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Bao, I have explained to your wife many times, and now I’ll explain it to you once more. I am not Xiaobao’s father. I hope you won’t misunderstand me again. Otherwise, I can be quite frightening when I get angry."

Upon hearing this, Bao Yadong almost had a heart attack. He glared at Xu Fengmei and snarled, "Listen to that! Do you hear what he’s saying? Is this the ’reformed man’ you were talking about?"

Extremely embarrassed, Xu Fengmei turned on Ye Xiu and lashed out, "You rotten Chen Shimei! I kindly gave you a chance to reform and even helped persuade Niannian’s dad for you, and now you’re denying you’re Xiaobao’s father again? I... I’ll kill you..."

As she spoke, she looked ready to unleash her Turtle Fist and Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

Ye Xiu quickly retreated. As he was leaving, he said to Bao Niannian, "When the Ghost Doctor comes out of the operating room, tell him his master is waiting for him in the stairwell."

With that said, he bolted.

This family... If I can’t handle them, I can at least avoid them, right?

"Scoundrel!" Bao Yadong was furious. "Look at that! He runs off after a few words. How is that reformed? A man like that is completely unreliable. I would die before I let him be with Niannian. I absolutely would!"

By now, Xu Fengmei was also utterly disappointed in Ye Xiu. She said to Bao Niannian, "Niannian, you see what kind of person he is. A scumbag like that is completely unworthy of you. Forget him."

With a look of utter despair, Bao Niannian looked at her parents and said weakly, "I’ll say this one last time. You’ve really misunderstood him. He is not Xiaobao’s father. To this day, I don’t even know his name."

"You... you’re still defending him?" Xu Fengmei exploded with rage.

"You... you..." Bao Yadong furiously pointed at Bao Niannian. "Niannian, listen to me closely! You have to choose: him or us. If you choose him, your mother and I will jump off a building."

"Niannian, if you still won’t give up on him, I... I’ll disown you from the Bao Family! You can go beg on the streets to support Xiaobao for all I care," Xu Fengmei threatened.

Bao Niannian raised her hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, fine! I’ll listen to you. I’ll do whatever you say. I won’t look for him again, alright?"

Hearing this, Bao Yadong and Xu Fengmei finally breathed a sigh of relief, as they had been genuinely afraid their daughter would remain stubborn.

Then, Xu Fengmei asked, "What about Dad? How is he?"

Bao Niannian finally remembered her grandfather and asked anxiously, "Dad, is Grandpa going to be okay?"

"He’ll be fine!" Bao Yadong smiled. "The one treating Dad in the emergency room is the Ghost Doctor. With him on the case, he’ll definitely be able to cure him completely."

The Ghost Doctor? So that’s why he came to the hospital—to ask the Ghost Doctor to treat Xiaobao.

A wave of emotion washed over her. She knew very well how difficult it was to hire the Ghost Doctor, who had an eccentric personality.

Just then, the emergency room doors opened, and the Ghost Doctor walked out.

"Ghost Doctor, how is my father?" Bao Yadong asked anxiously.

Xu Fengmei and Bao Niannian grew tense as well.

"Prepare for his funeral," the Ghost Doctor said, his face devoid of expression. "The old master has suffered a massive cerebral infarction and has severe intracranial hypertension. He’s already in shock. He can’t be saved!"

THUD.

The Bao family felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

Prepare for his funeral? If even the Ghost Doctor said so, then the old master must truly be beyond saving.

"Ghost Doctor, please, I’m begging you, you have to save my father," Bao Yadong pleaded, abruptly dropping to his knees. "As long as you cure my father, I’ll give you anything you want. I’ll give you the entire Bao Family fortune, please..."

Xu Fengmei and Bao Niannian also knelt, begging the Ghost Doctor for help.

Seeing this, the Ghost Doctor was moved. These days, most wealthy families can’t wait for the older generation to die so they can fight over the inheritance. The Bao family cares so much for the old master’s life. It seems their character is quite commendable.

He said, "It’s not that the old master is impossible to save. If my master were to intervene, he could be saved. However, my master has retired from medicine, and it’s very difficult to persuade him to help."

"Your master?" Bao Yadong and Xu Fengmei were taken aback.

The renowned Ghost Doctor actually has a master?

"Who is your master? Where is he? No matter how difficult it is, I have to try and get him to come," Bao Yadong asked.

"My master is Ye Xiu," the Ghost Doctor said. "Um, to be honest, you really won’t be able to persuade him."

Ye Xiu? The Xuanse Medicine King, Ye Xiu? That monster? Good heavens! How can this be? Ye Xiu is just too outrageous. Not only is he the Xuanse Medicine King himself, but he also managed to train a Divine Doctor as incredible as the Ghost Doctor.

"Mr. Ghost Doctor, I think your master is at the hospital as well. He should be waiting for you in the stairwell," Bao Niannian said, still unaware that "Xiaobao’s dad" was Ye Xiu.

"What?" The Ghost Doctor was flustered for a moment. He had secretly snuck into Qingfeng Road and was terrified of running into Ye Xiu.

"The stairwell? Let’s go, quickly!" Bao Yadong grabbed Xu Fengmei, and they dashed toward the stairwell.

Bao Niannian followed with Xiaobao in her arms.

The Ghost Doctor hesitated for a moment before following them; he knew he had to face the situation eventually.

The group reached the stairwell and saw Ye Xiu sitting on the steps, smoking.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Xiaobao cried out happily.

The Ghost Doctor was completely bewildered.

Seeing Ye Xiu made Xu Fengmei furious. "Chen Shimei? What are you doing here? Where is Divine Doctor Ye?" she demanded.

"He is Ye Xiu," the Ghost Doctor stated.

What?

Bao Yadong, Xu Fengmei, and Bao Niannian were completely dumbfounded.

This Chen Shimei, the man they had cursed up and down, was actually the renowned Xuanse Medicine King, Ye Xiu?

"Now do you believe that I’m not Xiaobao’s father?" Ye Xiu asked calmly.
