The Bigshot Shocks The World When She Backs Home

Chapter 77 Disowned

Yao Tang stared up at Cheng Yan, her eyes warming up ever so slightly. “Thank you,” she muttered. He pursed his lips in an attempt to stifle a grin. “Why don’t you go up to my room and nap for a while?”

“Okay.” Yao Tangtook a sip of the hot beverage and licked her lips before nodding her head.

Cheng Yan then turned to Cheng Zhan, “I’ll take her to get some rest.”

Cheng Zhan nodded. “Go ahead.”

He watched with narrowed eyes as the pair turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Yu Jingharrumphed loudly from the side. “I can’t believe this. Look! Just look at the stark difference in that rascal’s treatment of others! I would also appreciate some hot milk tea, you know! And I’d like to take some rest, too!”

He had been as good as dismissed, and he wasn’t happy about it.

“Mr. Yu,” Qin Hao stepped forward with a polite smile. “Might you be forgetting something?”

“Huh?” Yu Jingblinked. “What am I forgetting?” “Miss Cheng Wei,” the younger man replied in a pointed tone.

“Oh, right!” Yu Jingseemed flustered at first, but his expression eventually turned weary. “Where is she right now?”

Qin Hao stretched an arm. “Please follow me.”

Cheng Wei had been locked inside the residence basement. Four burly men kept silent guard. As much as she tried to glean any kind of information from them, they never extended her the courtesy of a response.

Just when she thought she might go insane from the uncertainty of her future, the heavy door slowly creaked open.

Cheng Wei instinctively looked in its direction and foundQin Hao standing in the doorway. She scowled, and was about to demand when she would be released when another figure caught her attention. “Teacher?” she exclaimed, thinking that her mentor had come to save her.

Yu Jing walked in, his hands clasped behind his back. He foundCheng Weistrapped to a chair, an expectant look on her face. He thought he saw a hint of triumph flash in her eyes, but it was gone in the next second. He couldn’t help but feel disdain for this woman. “You’re here, teacher,” Cheng Weisaid, tearing up. “Is my grandmother finally out of danger?”

Yu Jing stared at her for a moment before taking a deep breath. “Cheng Wei, do you still remember the main rules you were taught when you first joined my sect? Please say it out loud for me.”

Cheng Wei froze, and her heart skipped a bit. She nervously uttered the words that had been drilled into them throughout her years of

for excellence, and never be conceited. Seek to rid your patients of pain while protecting the sanctity and honor of the practice at the same time. Save lives and heal the wounded. Above all, never endanger a life in pursuit of your own interests.”

Yu Jing nodded solemnly. “And? Have you carried out your profession according to these rules?”

Cheng Wei’s heart was hammering against her chest at this point. She gritted her teeth, knowing that she could not afford to admit responsibility for what she had done.

It didn’t take her long to come up with a defense, however. “Teacher, did that scoundrel, Yao Tang, spout some nonsense in front of you?!”

Yu Jing’s demeanor instantly turned glacial, hostile almost. “I see that you are still incapable of proper repentance.”

His previous words rang truer more than ever – it was his great misfortune, indeed, to have such a rotten apprentice.

“No, teacher!” Cheng Weiwailed desperately. “That’s not it at all! Please, let me explain —”.

“There’s no need for you to explain anything,” the old man interrupted her. “From today onwards, you are no longer a student of mine. You are on your own now.” With that, Yu Jing turned and left without a backward glance.

Cheng Wei was at an utter loss. She struggled against her binds and managed to drag her chair a few inches forward. “Teacher, wait! Teacher! I know I was wrong, please! I promise I’ll change! Please give me another chance! Don’t go, Teacher!”

She relied greatly on her identity as the student of the greatest master in the field of neurosurgery. If word got out that he had basically disowned her, her reputation would be in complete ruin.

But Cheng Weicouldn’t do anything except watchYu Jingas he disappeared beyond the door.

When he was gone, she collapsed back against the chair, stunned at what had just occurred.

Qin Hao, who had stayed behind, gave her a bland look. “MissCheng Wei, the Young Master Chen wants you to know that this lesson is merely a slap to the wrist. If you behave yourself in the future, then you will still have a place in the family.”

He didn’t elaborate on what would happen otherwise, but it wasn’t necessary. Cheng Weigot the message. “If we are at an understanding,” Qin Hao continued in a respectful tone, “then I can arrange for you to be released immediately.” Cheng Wei’s head shot up. “How could I possibly misunderstand?” she spat out.

“Very well.” Qin Hao nodded at the guards stationed inside the room. “Since MissCheng Weiunderstands, you may untie her.”

“Yes, sir.” The men made quick work of untying the knots.

As soon as they did, Cheng Weiwrenched the ropes from her body, flung them to the ground, and strode out, looking outraged.

Upstairs, in the annex that belonged to Cheng Yan.

His personal villa consisted of a study, a bedroom, and a living area.

Each one was massive, even though he lived alone.

Cheng Yan headed to the bedroom and pushed the door open.

Inside, everything was neat and orderly. The walls were painted in black with some accent of white here and there. It spoke of balance and abstinence, which was in perfect line with its owner’s character.

“Go and lie on the bed,” Cheng Yansaid, nodding over to the huge bed covered in a black quilt.

Yao Tang seemed to consider the offer before her gaze shifted to the black leather sofa on the other side of the room. “I’ll take the couch. Let me know when the Old Madam wakes up and I’ll check on her again.”

Cheng Yan pursed his lips, but he didn’t insist any further. Instead, he took out a blanket from one of the closets and handed it to her. “Here, this is new, by the way. Never been used.”
