Chapter 377 — Playing the Supporting Role Once
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"There's no point in staying here. I might as well keep Mr. Lin company!" Liu Tianyi immediately declared his loyalty. He knew very well how great a divine doctor's importance to a family was!
And a divine doctor of such miraculous, life-restoring skill at that! So Liu Tianyi had long since laid aside his airs. What use were all the money and power in his hands? When you died, you had nothing anyway.
But with Wei Zhao as a friend, it was as though he had gained one more death-exemption token. Liu Tianyi was no fool!
Kang Xiaobo's father had at first wanted to step forward and scold his son a few times — what kind of friends had he found, to come make trouble at the banquet? But at this moment, all that remained in him was excitement!
His son's classmate had turned out to be so capable; both Liu Tianyi of the Liu family and Doctor Guan, Guan Xuemin, treated him with the utmost friendliness, and this sent Divine Doctor Kang's face plunging to a new low!
Wei Zhao turned his head and gave Kang Xiaobo a faint glance. "If you're a man, take Xiaofen's hand and prove it to them!"
This was a fine opportunity for Kang Xiaobo. If he forced himself to acknowledge Xiaofen as his girlfriend now, then even if his parents were unwilling in their hearts, there would be nothing they could do!
He had already laid a good opening for him; now the momentum of the whole hall was on his side. If Kang Xiaobo took Xiaofen's hand and announced something to Kang Zhaoming, what he would receive would not be the crowd's contempt, but their shock!
Kang Xiaobo nodded, took Xiaofen's hand, and, head high and chest out, looked toward Kang Zhaoming: "Second Cousin, the harm you did Xiaofen — one day I will repay you in full!"
"What nonsense. Don't think that because your friend knows a few big names, you are a big name yourself!" Kang Zhaoming was arrogant and overbearing, but he was no fool. Seeing Liu Tianyi and Guan Xuemin so fervently praise that Longevity and Detoxification Pill, he knew he had made trouble!
That pill might well have been genuine. Who knew where the lad beside Kang Xiaobo had dug it up — but however it had come to him, he had trampled it to bits!
So Kang Zhaoming was clearly blustering while cowering within, afraid others would blame him; he therefore shifted all the blame onto Kang Xiaobo.
Kang Xiaobo paid him no mind. Instead he turned to look at his Second Grandfather and said, somewhat disappointed: "Divine Doctor Kang, is it? I am not worthy of the honor. When someone gave you a fake ginseng and a fake prescription, you accepted them with delight; when I sincerely offered you a Longevity and Detoxification Pill, you treated it as garbage... Heh. This family gate — I need not enter it at all!"
With that, Kang Xiaobo took Xiaofen's hand and strode out of the banquet hall!
Wei Zhao had already paved the way for him. If Kang Xiaobo still lacked the courage to stand up and say these words, then he would truly be a coward.
Wei Zhao, holding Tang Yun's hand, followed behind Kang Xiaobo. Today he had appeared in the role of supporting player; the protagonist was still Kang Xiaobo!
Watching the receding figures of Kang Xiaobo and Wei Zhao, Divine Doctor Kang knew that today's birthday feast was destined to become a farce!
"Where is that pill?" Unhappy at heart, Divine Doctor Kang could only vent his resentment on Kang Zhaoming.
"The pill..." Kang Zhaoming's heart lurched, and he looked toward the spot where he had trampled the pill...
The Longevity and Detoxification Pill that Kang Zhaoming had crushed to powder had long since been wiped clean by the banquet hall's cleaning staff; the floor was spotless again.
