Chapter 376 — I'll Stamp On It Myself
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
"What's this? Feeling guilty?" Seeing Kang Xiaofeng's expression, Kang Jingming took it for a guilty conscience. "Kang Xiaofeng, don't think I don't know why you're here. Aren't you here to stand up for that bitch of a woman? A worn-out piece of goods I already had my fill of, and you still treat her like a treasure! You make up some fantastical thing we've never heard of, pass it off as an immortal elixir and give it to me — aren't you just trying to make our family look foolish? I know what's in your mind. You want people to see that a family of physicians has never laid eyes on an elixir like this! That's what you're thinking, isn't it? But your clever scheme has backfired — I don't want your worthless junk!"
As he spoke, Kang Jingming flung the Longevity and Detoxification Pill to the ground, then stamped his foot down on it. Not content with that, he ground it back and forth with the sole of his shoe until it was reduced to a sticky heap of powder, and only then desisted. "There. Your birthday gift has been presented. Now get down!"
Through all of this, Divine Doctor Kang said not a word, standing there with a dark face! Because he too had had his doubts — to say nothing of Kang Xiaofeng, even his own eldest son could not produce such an immortal elixir, so where had Kang Xiaofeng gotten his? Most likely it was a fake!
He could tolerate Kang Jingming, because Zhaoming was his own grandson, but he could not tolerate Kang Xiaofeng. He felt that Kang Xiaofeng had come to stir up trouble! Especially after hearing his grandson Kang Jingming's words — so this grandnephew Kang Xiaofeng had come to settle scores for a woman, to fight over a woman out of jealousy!
"Outrageous!" Divine Doctor Kang gave a cold snort and looked toward Kang Xiaofeng's father. "A fine son you have raised! Take him away at once — must he stay here making a spectacle of himself?"
Yet toward Kang Jingming, who had swaggered and trampled the pill to bits, Divine Doctor Kang asked nothing and blamed him not a word — plainly shielding him.
Kang Xiaofeng's father was furious. Though it did seem somewhat improper for his son to present some immortal elixir as a birthday gift, from first to last it had been Kang Jingming stirring up trouble — how could one call his son a spectacle?
"Xiaobo, have you been bewitched by someone? Who gave you this worthless elixir? Hurry and apologize to your Second Grandfather!" Kang's father chided Kang Xiaofeng lightly. To give him a way out, he shifted the blame for the elixir onto someone else, implying that Kang Xiaofeng had been misled by another and that it had nothing to do with him.
"Impossible! How could a pill from the boss be fake? It is certain people who have no eyes, who cannot tell good goods when they see them!" Kang Xiaofeng was furious too. He stiffened his neck and said stubbornly, "For fine things to be wasted — what a pity!"
Kang Xiaofeng trusted Wei Zhao unconditionally. If Wei Zhao said it was an immortal elixir, then of course he believed it was an immortal elixir! Kang Xiaofeng had been holding himself back for a long while, and now even his own father was blaming him — at last he exploded.
"Xiaobo, the gift has been delivered in any case. Some people make false claims to divine medicine, when in truth they are nothing but doddering old quacks." At this, Wei Zhao walked over with Tang Zhi and Xiaofen in tow and spoke coolly to Kang Xiaofeng.
"This is a matter of our Kang family. What place do you have to speak of it?" Divine Doctor Kang had been furious ever since Wei Zhao exposed the ginseng for what it was. Now, seeing him leap out again to meddle in his family's affairs, he held nothing back.
