Chapter 147: Should Apologize to Her
Chen Che and Ma Menghan walked out of the Ma Family Villa, following the stone path within the courtyard toward the main gate.
Ma Menghan stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked back with reluctance.
She had two main purposes for coming here: first, to see her heartless father, and second, and most importantly, to retrieve her mother's dowry.
But looking at the current situation, not only had she failed to get her wish, but she had also dragged Chen Che down, causing them both to be humiliated by Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai.
"I'm sorry."
Ma Menghan whispered to Chen Che.
Chen Che shook his head, seeing the reluctance and sadness in her eyes, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, I told you, they will definitely regret it. In a little while, they will definitely beg us to go back, and at that time, I will help you vent your anger properly."
"It doesn't matter whether I vent my anger or not. It's mainly you; I don't want you to be targeted because of me."
Ma Menghan said with teary eyes.
Chen Che gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled: "I'm fine. Since they don't have eyes, I will make sure they learn a lesson."
"Mm."
Ma Menghan nodded and leaned against Chen Che's shoulder, as if only this could make her feel at ease.
Inside the villa.
"Since my martial uncle has arrived, there is no time to lose. Please, quickly invite the elder to come out and treat Mr. Ma!"
Xie Jinchen's face was radiant, filled with both the excitement of seeing Chen Che again and the desire to see the Ghost Gate Needle once more.
Hearing this, Liu Tianhua and the others looked at Ma Zijun one after another.
Ma Zijun frowned tightly and walked toward Lin Su.
"Young Master, just now the Madam and the young lady..."
Lin Su leaned into Ma Zijun's ear and recounted what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Ma Zijun's expression changed. He turned his head to glare at Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai with resentment, then immediately chased after them.
"What is going on?"
Xie Jinchen was full of suspicion and followed them out as well.
"Aunt, could that man from just now really be Doctor Xie's martial uncle?"
Ma Ziai felt uneasy and asked in a low voice.
Huang Zhu had a complex expression and said: "I don't know, let's wait and see."
The remaining few people in the house all moved to the outside, onto the steps at the entrance, looking at the scene in the courtyard.
In the courtyard.
Chen Che and Ma Menghan were walking slowly toward the main gate. Just as they were about to step out of the gate, an urgent shout came.
"Wait a moment!"
Ma Zijun rushed out of the house in a panic and blocked Chen Che and Ma Menghan.
"Brother Chen Che, I'm sorry! It was my negligence, please forgive me!"
Ma Zijun grabbed Chen Che's arm and said with an apologetic face: "Brother Chen Che, it was my lack of consideration. Let's go back inside and talk."
Before Chen Che could speak, Xie Jinchen rushed over, gripped Chen Che's arm tightly, and shouted with an excited face: "Martial Uncle?! So you really are here!"
"Uh..."
Hearing Xie Jinchen call Chen Che "Martial Uncle," everyone present was stunned.
Even though they had been mentally prepared, seeing a middle-aged man call a young man "Martial Uncle" with such a fawning and adoring look still left them shocked!
Because this scene was truly too bizarre!
Liu Tianhua stared at this scene, dumbfounded. He knew very well that Xie Jinchen was a complete fanatic about Medicine, so there was no need to doubt his words.
But precisely because of this, Liu Tianhua was shocked and unable to accept that Li Qingyan actually had a junior fellow apprentice!
At the same time, he squinted and sized up Chen Che. Beyond his annoyance, he began to wonder exactly how much real skill this genius Divine Doctor's junior fellow apprentice had!
Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai looked at Chen Che in disbelief. They never imagined that Chen Che would be the martial uncle of the medical world's big shot, Xie Jinchen.
And they never expected that Chen Che was also the junior fellow apprentice of that legendary doctor, Li Qingyan!
Previously, because of Ma Menghan, they had all assumed Chen Che was Ma Menghan's lover, thinking they could take the opportunity to get some benefits from the Ma Family, and they completely disbelieved Lin Su's warnings!
Now that the facts were before them, they were finally dumbfounded, and only then did they understand why Chen Che had the confidence to say those words—you will regret it!
At the same time, worry arose in their hearts. If Chen Che really could cure Ma Yiren, how would they make amends with Chen Che?
Ma Zichen rubbed the back of his head, looking at the excited Xie Jinchen and the composed Chen Che. This strong contrast made his lips numb, and he suddenly felt that the blow he had taken to his head was not undeserved.
Ma Menghan was also slightly surprised, looking at Chen Che and Xie Jinchen with curiosity.
Ma Zijun had already been shocked numb by Chen Che back in Shanghai, so he did not feel too surprised at this moment.
Seeing that Chen Che was slow to speak, he knew that Chen Che was unhappy, so he hurriedly continued to explain and apologize: "Brother Chen Che, my mother and sister were unaware, please do not blame them. It was my negligence for not arranging things properly, please do not be angry."
Xie Jinchen looked at Ma Zijun and Chen Che with a confused face. He did not know what had happened, but seeing Ma Zijun's sincere expression, he could not help but speak up: "Martial Uncle, I don't know what happened, but this is not the place to talk. Let's go inside first."
Chen Che shook his head, looked toward Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai, and said loudly on purpose: "I wouldn't dare. I'm afraid that if I step into the Ma Family one more time, my legs will be broken."
Swish!
Hearing this, not only did Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai's expressions change, but Ma Zijun's did as well.
Xie Jinchen realized something, frowned, turned to glance at Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai, and asked with warm anger: "My martial uncle is a medical genius, and he even came specifically for Mr. Ma's condition. To think he would be treated like this—is this the Ma Family's way of treating guests?!"
Ma Zijun also frowned, looking at Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai with reproachful eyes, while also blaming himself for being too anxious and only caring about checking on his father's condition.
He had overlooked that Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai would target Ma Menghan, and since Chen Che had an ambiguous relationship with Ma Menghan, he was naturally dragged into it.
Ma Zijun then signaled to Ma Zichen, telling him to persuade Huang Zhu and Ma Ziai to apologize to Chen Che.
Ma Zichen scratched his chin, leaned into Huang Zhu's ear, and said: "Mom, Dad's illness is the most important thing. Go and apologize to Chen Che."
Huang Zhu gritted her teeth, trembling all over with anger.
She was amazed that Chen Che had such medical attainments at a young age that Xie Jinchen would bow to him, but that was a different matter from making her apologize to Chen Che.
Not to mention that Chen Che had previously spoken back to her, just the fact that Chen Che and Ma Menghan had a close relationship made it impossible for her to bow her head and apologize to Chen Che!
But now Ma Yiren was in urgent need of treatment, and it seemed that currently, only this unremarkable young man could do it.
Thinking of this, even if she was extremely unwilling in her heart, she had no choice but to soften her stance.
Huang Zhu walked slowly to the front of Chen Che, bowed slightly, and said in a sincere tone, "Mr. Chen, I am sorry. Please forgive my previous rudeness. I feel deeply remorseful for my previous offense against you, and I ask that you be the bigger person, let bygones be bygones, and save my husband."
Ma Ziai also walked over, glanced at Ma Menghan hiding behind Chen Che, and shouted extremely reluctantly, "I'm sorry!"
"How strange! Is this how the Ma Family upbringing teaches Miss Ma? Is this tone an apology or an interrogation?"
Xie Jinchen was very dissatisfied with Ma Ziai's attitude and spoke up for Chen Che in a sarcastic manner.
Ma Ziai bit her lip, her eyes reddening; she had never been so humiliated since she was a child, but given the current situation, she had no choice but to endure it.
"I'm sorry,"
Ma Ziai's tone softened, and she bowed deeply to Chen Che,
"Mr. Chen, I was wrong. Please let bygones be bygones and treat my uncle."
Chen Che curled his lips into a smile and said, "Since Miss Chen has said so, I will naturally be the bigger person."
Hm?
Hearing the three words "Miss Chen," everyone except for those in the know—Lin Su, Ma Menghan, Huang Zhu, and Ma Ziai—was stunned, their heads full of question marks, thinking that Chen Che had made a mistake.
Ma Ziai's body trembled, her small face turned pale with anger, and she glared at Chen Che with resentment.
She had not expected Chen Che to be so petty and vengeful!
When driving Chen Che out earlier, Ma Ziai had once said that if she invited Chen Che back, she would take Chen Che's surname.
Chen Che not only remembered it, but at this moment, he had returned those words to her in a different way!
Seeing that Chen Che had finally spoken, Ma Zijun breathed a sigh of relief and once again prompted Chen Che with an invitation: "Let's go inside first."
Yet at this moment, Chen Che shook his head again, pointed at Ma Menghan beside him, and said, "You should also apologize to her."
