Chapter 35: Staying True to the Original Aspiration Ensures Success

“Don’t listen to his nonsense, I don’t have a fiancé,” Lin Xiyan said, shaking her head.

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her denial. No fiancé meant he still had a chance, though there had been no substantial progress between him and Lin Xiyan.

“Of course, Miss Lin doesn’t have a fiancé, she just has a boyfriend,” Wang Shao said, looking at Ye Chen with cold eyes. He didn’t know why, but he felt compelled to provoke Ye Chen.

“Wang Shao, stop talking nonsense, I don’t have a boyfriend,” Lin Xiyan said, her face turning pale with anger at Wang Shao’s words.

Wang Shao immediately stopped talking, knowing better than to anger Lin Xiyan further and risk her complaining to Jiang Che.

“Enough, shut up,” Wang family’s patriarch intervened, glaring at Wang Shao before smiling at Lin Xiyan. “Don’t be angry, Xiyan. My son has always been reckless. Don’t stoop to his level.”

“Mr. Ye Chen, can you really cure cancer?” the patriarch then turned to Ye Chen, still doubtful.

“Yes,” Ye Chen replied confidently.

“Someone, please go call the old master,” the patriarch ordered, then invited Ye Chen and Lin Xiyan to sit on the sofa for tea while chatting.

Soon, an old man, looking frail and supported by two servants, appeared. The patriarch’s eyes filled with concern. “Dad, your illness can be cured. This is Doctor Ye, he’s here to treat you.”

The old master weakly acknowledged, looking on the brink of passing away.

“Are you a licensed physician?” Wang Shao demanded, looking at Ye Chen with disdain.

“Please trust me, Mr. Wang. Although I can’t perform miracles, I can certainly treat cancer,” Ye Chen replied amicably, not taking offense at Wang Shao’s skepticism.

Impatiently, the patriarch waved Wang Shao away. Despite his doubts, this was the only option they had left after years of unsuccessful treatments. With the old master’s life hanging by a thread, it was worth trying anything.

“What if he worsens grandpa’s condition?” Wang Shao murmured, still concerned.

“Doctor Ye, please proceed,” the patriarch said, ignoring Wang Shao and turning to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen then took out a set of silver needles and approached the old master. Concentrating his internal energy on the needles, he skillfully inserted them into the old man’s major acupoints in a fluid and impressive display.

“Alright…”

Five minutes later, Wang Lao Ye (the old master Wang) was densely covered in rows of silver needles. Ye Chen withdrew his hands, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Treating such a disease required a substantial amount of internal energy; this procedure alone had consumed nearly one-fifth of his energy.

Suddenly, Wang Lao Ye, looking like a hedgehog with all those needles, vomited a large mouthful of black blood.

“What’s this…” Wang family’s patriarch was baffled, unable to comprehend why his father was vomiting black blood.

“Don’t worry, the black blood he’s vomiting is toxic. His condition is essentially cured now. He just needs to follow up with some Chinese medicine for recovery,” Ye Chen explained with a smile.

True to Ye Chen’s words, Wang Lao Ye, lying on the sofa, slowly opened his eyes, visibly more spirited, and even his voice sounded stronger.

“What’s happening to me?” Wang Lao Ye looked in wonder at the rows of needles on his body.

“It’s a miracle! Truly miraculous!” The patriarch’s voice trembled with emotion. Since his father fell ill, he had never seen him so revitalized.

“Doctor Ye, thank you so much!” The patriarch was so moved that he was about to kneel in gratitude.

“Wang family patriarch, please don’t!” Ye Chen was startled, feeling unworthy of such a grand gesture.

“No need for such formalities, patriarch Wang. Serving the world with my medical skills is just part of my duty as a physician,” Ye Chen said modestly. His belief in serving others had been his motivation for studying medicine.

Although personal interest played a part in treating Wang Lao Ye, Ye Chen’s fundamental commitment remained unchanged.

He believed that if an ordinary family’s elderly cancer patient were in front of him, he would have still offered his help.

Staying true to one’s original aspiration ensures success. Ye Chen firmly believed in this maxim, convinced that staying true to his initial purpose would lead him far.
