"Brother, I heard you offended the CEO of Li Enterprises Real Estate Group, Luca Li?"
Oscar walked into the Jiang Clinic, and Noah Jiang went back to his chair, looking at him with a smile. "Why, are you scared?"
"Scared? What am I, Oscar, scared of? Anyway, we've always been at odds with Liam Cao, so if we fight, we fight. But bro, how did you offend Luca Li?" Oscar asked curiously.
Holding the Book of Huang Emperor, Noah Jiang laughed, "He was eyeing my wife, so I taught him a lesson."
Oscar was stunned, then burst into laughter, "I heard he couldn't perform these days. So it was your doing, haha."
Noah Jiang waved his hand, then asked, "Has your ailment gotten better?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. Ever since I took the medicine you prescribed a few days ago, I've been feeling much better." Oscar was excited. He hadn't expected to feel so much better after taking the medicine.
"Hmm, let me check again." Noah Jiang nodded.
"Ah, another check?"
Oscar was surprised. Noah Jiang glanced at him and said, "Big man, what's there to be shy about? Take it off."
"Oh, alright then."
Being a bit shy, Oscar pulled down his pants. Noah Jiang leaned in, resting his chin on his hand, nodding in approval.
At that moment, Cindy Ye, dressed in a white blouse and a purple pencil skirt, stepped over the threshold. Seeing the scene inside, her pretty face turned slightly red, and she quickly turned to leave.
"Ah, what are you guys doing?"
Cece Deng, who had followed in, exclaimed, covering her face.

Noah Jiang and Oscar froze, looking at the doorway where Cindy Ye and Cece Deng stood. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Put it away. Continue with the medicine, and you should be cured in three days," Noah Jiang said, recovering first.
"Alright, alright. I'll be going then. Call me if you need anything, bye."
Oscar pulled up his pants, his face red with embarrassment. He hurriedly passed Cindy Ye and Cece Deng, wishing he had an extra pair of legs to run faster.
"Why brings your visit? Come, have a sit."
Looking at the expressionless Cindy Ye, Noah Jiang stood up and pulled out chairs for them. It was the first time the ladies had come to Jiang Clinic on their own, and he was somewhat surprised.
"No need. I just stopped by to tell you to visit grandfather in the afternoon," Cindy Ye, standing by the door, said emotionlessly to Noah Jiang.
"Alright, I'll visit him later."
Noah Jiang nodded in agreement, then smiled at Cindy Ye, "Congratulations on acquiring the development rights for New Century City in Lindong Area."
"Mr. Jiang, have you seen the news?" Cece Deng asked, surprised.
Noah Jiang nodded, looking at Cindy Ye with a smile, "I just did. You must be quite busy now."
"Yes, Miss Ye has already made arrangements. We will start developing New Century City in Lindong Area soon."
"That's enough, Cece. Didn't you say you wanted to buy medicine for flu?"
Cindy Ye interrupted Cece Deng. She didn't want to discuss work matters with Noah Jiang.
Cindy Ye was a proud woman. Even though Noah Jiang had saved her that night, she couldn't bring herself to thank him, so she didn't want to bring up the event.
"Mr. Jiang, do you have cold medicine? I caught a cold from the air conditioning last night," Cece Deng quickly asked, sensing the tense atmosphere.
"Yes, I'll get it for you."
Noah Jiang glanced at Cindy Ye, then went to the medicine cabinet to get a box of cold medicine for Cece Deng.
Standing at the door, Cindy Ye looked around the simply decorated and modest Jiang Clinic. Thinking about how this man had always been here touched her heart somewhat.
Although she looked down on this man for being weak and worthless, Cindy knew that the Jiang Clinic had been passed down to him by his grandfather. His relentless dedication to staying here showed that he was a person of deep feelings.
"Brother Noah, I've brought you some longans."
At this moment, Ruth Chen, dressed in a nurse's uniform and carrying fruit she had just personally bought for Noah Jiang, walked in. However, seeing Cindy there, she froze, unable to speak.
Cindy naturally recognized Ruth. They had met at the hospital before. However, seeing her walk in with fruit for Noah Jiang, a woman's intuition told her that this girl had a close relationship with Noah.
"Ruth, just put it here," Noah Jiang said with a natural smile.
"Oh."
Ruth responded, not daring to look at Cindy beside her, quickly walked in, and placed the fruit on the counter in front of Noah.
Then she stood there with her head down, looking lost, like a child who had done something wrong, adorable and innocent.
"Are we done yet?"
Cindy asked Cece Deng coldly, not giving Noah Jiang a glance, and said, "There's still a meeting at the company. We should hurry back."
"Yes, Miss Ye."
Watching Cindy turn and leave, Cece Deng responded and then helplessly glanced back at Ruth before saying to Noah Jiang, "Mr. Jiang, we'll be going now. Goodbye."
"Take care."
Noah Jiang walked them to the door and watched as they drove away in a Mercedes, shaking his head and smiling, wondering why the woman had suddenly gotten angry.
But it wasn't the first time, so he didn't think much of it.
"This guy, I don't know what kind of dumb luck he has to get involved with a beautiful woman like Cindy," Ethan Chen said resentfully from the doorway of Uncle Henry's Clinic, glaring at Noah Jiang. He was very unhappy.
A woman like Cindy, a so-called "rich beauty," was a goddess in the hearts of many men, yet she fell for a loser like Noah Jiang, making Ethan feel extremely unbalanced.
"Brother Noah, why... why did Miss Ye come here?"
After the Mercedes left, Ruth ran back to the Jiang Clinic and asked Noah Jiang.
It was her first time seeing Cindy come to the Jiang Clinic to find Noah.
"She just came to check on things. It's nothing. Let's eat the fruit," Noah Jiang beckoned to Ruth and started eating the longan she had brought.
Sitting in the car, Cindy, from the moment she saw Ruth bringing fruit for Noah Jiang, felt inexplicably irritable. No wonder he was so indifferent to her; it turned out he had someone else outside.
At that time, in a private villa, Luca Li, wearing only a pair of shorts, came downstairs to find a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa in the living room. The man's eyes were full of menace, exuding an aura of authority without anger. He was Liam Cao.
"Mr. Li, I've investigated the Noah Jiang you mentioned. He has some connection with Alfie Wang. Just now, Charlie took some people over, but they were stopped by Oscar," Liam Cao said, smoking a cigarette, to Luca Li who had just come downstairs.
Luca Li's eyes widened in shock. "So, your men didn't manage to teach that kid a lesson?"
Liam Cao nodded, "I've been in conflict with Alfie Wang over business on Shentang Street. Now he intends to protect that kid. Sending these brothers naturally won't do much. This Noah Jiang, he's got some skills!"
"What do you mean? Are you saying that this mere Chinese medicine doctor has some extraordinary abilities?" Luca Li glared, very displeased with Liam Cao.
He had wanted him to send someone to teach a lesson to a kid, but they couldn't even do that, leaving him unable to vent his frustration.
