His Stunning Doctor Wife novel Chapter 755

"Hugo!" When Cherry's parents saw Hugo, they beamed in a friendly manner and nodded at him as a form of a greeting.

They tried changing the subject right away. This was because they had introduced their daughter to Hugo before, so it was inappropriate to be talking about Cherry holding hands with another man in front of Hugo.

However, Hugo asked bluntly, "Mr. and Mrs. Xie, I noticed that Cherry seems to be very close to that man. Is he a relative of Cherry's?"

When they heard this, their expressions stiffened. They quickly broke out into a flurry of explanation, "No, he's not a relative. Just an acquaintance."

"An acquaintance?" Hugo emphasized the word and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Xie, please don't blame me for being a busybody!"

"I saw the man writing a prescription to Cherry on my way here. He claimed that this prescription could cure Elder Xie's illness. I was worried that Cherry might have been scammed by him. It's not a big deal to be deceived, but if he wrote a fake prescription that might harm Elder Xie, the consequences will be grave," Hugo said deliberately.

His words immediately sent a fury of anger down Cherry's parents. They glared furiously at Cherry. "Is he telling the truth?"

Cherry shot a glare at Hugo and tried to explain, "Dad, Mom, Fade is not a conman. He is a Chinese medicine doctor. I told him about grandpa's condition. He was kind enough to give me a prescription."

"Chinese medicine practitioner? Kind? How dare he prescribe at such a young age!"

"It's not that we've not seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor before. Those old doctors of Chinese medicine personally visited your Grandpa for a detailed check up and diagnosis, yet they did not dare to simply prescribe any medication for him. By merely listening to your description, he came up with a prescription in haste. What is he if not a conman?"

Cherry's parents were agitated.

Cherry tried to explain further, but her parents were so cynical and agitated that they refused to listen. What's more, they demanded her to tear the paper into shreds.

Cherry felt wronged. She could only give Fade a look of apology.

Fade merely gave her a faint smile, he did not take the matter to heart. He said softly, "Cherry, goodbye. I'll be going first."

As he spoke, Fade walked away from them and continued up the mountain.

With Fade's departure, Cherry's parents did not press on the topic but headed for the mountain along with Cherry. Hugo followed them. Along the way, he engaged in a lively conversation with Cherry's parents with a polite smile on his face. He even took the initiative to speak to Cherry from time to time, but Cherry simply turned a cold shoulder to him.

They walked out of the car park and arrived at the trailhead, getting ready to conquer the mountain.

At this moment, there were many people at the trailhead. Some had gone up the stairs and started the climb.

However, the majority of them were gathering in an open area in front of the trailhead. They seemed to be engrossed in a hot discussion with fervent enthusiasm.

As the Xie family and Hugo approached, they noticed a lot of hawker stalls in front of the trailhead, on which there were all kinds of Chinese herbs on sale. The stall owners were yelling nonstop as a means to attract customers.

"Don't miss it when you walk by. You'll regret it if

you don't buy the herbs of the Lighting Clan!"

"I have a special relationship with the Lightning Clan, and these herbs are personally handpicked from Dragon Source Herb Farm itself. They've received positive comments even from Black Level masters. Please come and take a look!"

"100,000 yuan for one plant. This is not a con job, you will definitely benefit from buying our goods, drop by for a try!"

Hearing these yells and shouts of the vendors, a disdainful smile appeared on his face, and said, "A bunch of liars! Don't mind them."

Cherry and her parents did not believe in these so-called precious herbs as well. After glancing around, they shook their heads and were ready to leave.

However, Fade, who was in front of them, suddenly stopped and walked toward a tiny stall.

Cherry's heart skipped when she noticed Fade heading to the stall. She dragged her parents over and said, "Mom, Dad, let's go over there!"

"Cherry, Hugo already said that these are..."
