chapter 23 Rich second generation Dino Ma

At the entrance of Jiang Clinic, a black Ferrari sports car arrived, instantly attracting the attention of the people on the street and the doctors from other clinics. On Traditional Chinese Medicine Street, these clinics usually cater to the average citizens, so it's rare to see luxury cars here. Out of the Ferrari came a handsome young man in casual white attire. Under the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, he walked into Jiang Clinic with an arrogant stride, a typical second-generation rich kid. "Noah Jiang, are you still hanging around this rundown clinic?" Sitting in a chair, reading the Book of Huang Emperor, Noah Jiang looked up at Dino Ma who had just walked in and laughed, "What brings you here?" "Damn, ever since I got to know you in university, haven't I always been the one to come find you to hang out?" Dino Ma took a chair and sat down, looking around, he asked, "Do you have any herbal tea? Hurry up and get me a cup; I've been feeling so hot lately." Seeing Dino Ma unbuttoning his shirt and turning his head, revealing a green jade pendant around his neck, Noah took a closer look. "What are you looking at? This jade pendant, I got it from a place a few days ago. Pretty good quality, right?" Dino Ma held up the jade pendant in front of Noah and swayed it. "Hmm, I don't know much about it, but it looks good." Noah nodded, noticing a few dark lines on Dino Ma's forehead, he laughed, "It's not that hot outside, why do you feel so warm?" "I don't know, I just feel extremely hot these past few days. That's why I came over, hoping to get some detoxifying herbal tea from you." Dino Ma wiped the sweat from his forehead, continuously fanning himself, looking very uncomfortable. Noah smiled and stood up, walking to the medicine cabinet, "I'll get you some herbal tea packets. Boil them when you get home and drink it." "Sure." Dino Ma stood up, leaned on the counter, and smirked at Noah, "Tell me, how does it feel to be the husband of a goddess?" Noah glanced back and laughed, "Not very great!" "Man, you don't realize how lucky you are. She's the acknowledged beauty of Yulin City, and you got her. Well, technically you are married to her, but you're the one benefiting. And now you're playing coy with me. Are you trying to make us jealous?" Dino Ma looked at Noah with an indignant expression. The two were college classmates and had a good relationship. Even though Dino Ma was a rich second generation, he liked hanging out with Noah. "Alright, take these three packets of medicine. Boil them in seven bowls of water until it's reduced to three bowls and then drink it," Noah said, handing Dino Ma the packets. "Alright, I will." Dino Ma took the medicine and said, "By the way, there's a class reunion tonight. Do you want to join?" "You know I never attend class reunions," Noah replied, shaking his head. Ever since he graduated and took over Jiang Clinic, he rarely participated in such gatherings. Besides Dino Ma and a few other classmates, Noah had been quite isolated during his university years. "Dino Ma, the only problem with you is you're too rigid. It was the case in college, and it's the same now. You're missing out by staying in this run-down clinic. Do you have any idea that at our recent reunions, the biggest topic of discussion has been you?" Dino Ma sighed, looking frustrated. "They can say whatever they want," Noah replied indifferently. After spending more than a year in the Ye family, he had become accustomed to such gossip. "Forget it. You're always so stubborn. I'm leaving," Dino Ma said, getting up with his medicine. "Wait!" Noah quickly stopped him. Dino Ma turned around and gave him a look, "You're not going to charge me for the medicine, are you?" Noah pointed at the jade pendant around Dino Ma's neck and laughed, "Although the jade is good, it's not suitable for you. You better take it off." Dino Ma was startled, opened his mouth, took out two hundred in cash, and slapped it in front of Noah Jiang. He snorted, "Even if it's not suitable, I won't give it to you now. I'll play with it for a few days, and when I get tired, I'll give it to you. Goodbye." Watching the young man drive away in a flashy Ferrari, Noah Jiang shook his head and laughed, pocketing the two hundred yuan. "If he won't listen to advice, let him learn the hard way." Not two minutes after Dino Ma had left, two vans came roaring in. About ten young gangsters, each carrying a bat, got out of the cars and angrily ran towards the Jiang Clinic. "Oh my, what's happening now?" "I don't know, it must be Noah Jiang causing trouble again." Seeing the group of young gangsters rush into the Jiang Clinic caused a commotion among the bystanders. Ethan Chen and Jadyn Wang, who had just come out of Uncle Henry's Clinic, sneered, "I knew those people who left earlier weren't good. Now, that Noah kid is in trouble." "Hehe, as long as these gangsters don't bother our clinic, it's fine." Ethan Chen stood at the door, arms crossed, smirking as he watched the gangsters storm into the Jiang Clinic. A few days earlier, their clinic had been vandalized, and it was resolved because of Noah Jiang's medical skills. However, Ethan Chen wasn't grateful and was even more displeased with Noah. "Hey, more people are coming." One group had just arrived when another group appeared. Three vans arrived, carrying about twenty people. The leader was the towering figure, Brother Oscar, carrying a baseball bat with an imposing presence. Chen and his group involuntarily took a step back, the scene of their clinic being vandalized fresh in their minds. "Who the hell dares to mess with my brother?" Brother Oscar's voice roared before he even got close. Charlie was leading his group into the Jiang Clinic. Seeing Brother Oscar leading over twenty people, he frowned and said, "It's this big idiot again!" "Charlie, you're back to bother my brother. We don't need to talk; let's fight," Oscar said, pointing his bat at Charlie, who had just stepped into Jiang Clinic. "Brother Charlie, it seems we are outnumbered." A young gangster beside Charlie noticed they were outnumbered and became worried. Charlie knew the situation was unfavourable, gritted his teeth, and cursed, "Oscar, you really want to go all out for a TCM doctor?" "I've said it; Noah Jiang saved my brother's life. If you dare touch a hair on his head today, I'll make sure you leave on your back!" Oscar threatened, pointing at Charlie. "Damn it!" Charlie cursed, pointing at Oscar, "You have more people today; we'll fight another day. Let's go!" "Come back with more people next time, or it won't be enough for me," Oscar mocked, watching as Charlie and his gang retreated without even entering the Jiang Clinic. Oscar laughed but didn't chase them. After all, fighting in broad daylight could attract the police, and that wouldn't end well for anyone. "That's it, you guys go first." Oscar handed his baseball bat to one of his men, telling them to leave, while he prepared to enter the Jiang Clinic. Seeing Ethan Chen and the others from Uncle Henry's Clinic who were watching the scene, he shouted, "What are you looking at? Do you want a beating?" Ethan Chen, Jadyn Wang, and the others fled in fear; they didn't dare confront these gangsters. Noah Jiang just walked out of the Jiang Clinic, smiled at Oscar, and said, "You came just in time." "Haha, as soon as I got your message, brother, I immediately called my people over. You okay?" Oscar laughed. "I'm fine, come in and we'll talk," Noah Jiang said, noticing the onlookers, and gestured for Oscar to come inside. Ever since Luca Li left, Noah had anticipated trouble and sent a message to Oscar, never expecting they'd run into each other like this.
