"What's wrong with you, Chu Feng?" Li Fengqin was livid. "Mr. Fang is magnanimous enough to forgive you, and he's even willing to shake your hand. It's an honor to shake his hand! Even if you don't want to acknowledge his accomplishments, why did you accuse him of having a disease? I haven't met another man as petty as you!"
As much as Fang Ming tried to keep it down, he could not tolerate the repeated humiliation. His gaze turned cold in an instant, and he said threateningly, "I'll give you one chance to apologize because you're with Muqing. If you don't apologize, I'll give the word, and nowhere in Jiangbei will be safe for you."
Li Fenglan frowned and urged Chu Feng, "Hear that? Apologize to Mr. Fang now. You can't afford to offend him. Don't blame Muqing if you can't find a job tomorrow!"
She was afraid that Chu Feng might disrupt the "marriage" and stop her from living the high life.
Yun Muqing looked at Chu Feng, surprised. She knew Chu Feng was a skilled medical practitioner, and the "disease" he mentioned was not a metaphorical insult but a fact! Fang Ming indeed had a disease!
Chu Feng glanced at Fang Ming again and said, "Your syphilis is serious. The lower part of your body is filled with red spots, and you find it hard to sleep every night because of how itchy and painful it is. Even though you've been taking regular medication, your condition is getting out of control. I don't want to shake hands with you because I don't want to risk getting infected."
Li Fenglan and the others widened their eyes when they heard "syphilis." They instinctively took several steps back.
Fang Ming's face turned pale in an instant. He pointed a finger at Chu Feng's nose and yelled, "You're… You're lying! You're trying to slander me! I've never done anything of that sort before. You're the one with syphilis!"
To the onlookers, the way how Fang Ming reacted made him look guilty as charged.
Chu Feng smirked and pointed at his wrist. "I'm slandering you? Look at the red patch on your wrist. I'm sure your private parts are very itchy now, and you're holding back the urge to scratch them, right? Those are the symptoms of late-stage syphilis. Your medication is failing you, and in less than half a month, the red patches will spread all over your body, and by then, it'll be too late."
Fang Ming's heart skipped a beat. He tried to pull his sleeve to cover the red patch and rub his thighs to scratch the itch. "Nonsense! You're lying! I… I don't have a disease!" he yelled.
No one believed him.
Li Hua used a bottle of mineral water to wash his hands. He had shaken hands multiple times with Fang Ming earlier.
Li Fenglan's face turned pale. She tossed the gift from Fang Ming on the sofa and rubbed her hands vigorously.
Yun Muqing frowned and looked at Fang Ming in disgust.
"How dare you slander me! Very well… I won't forget this!" Fang Ming was thoroughly humiliated. As much as he wanted to act like a gentleman, he knew he was not going to get any of the guests on his side.
After saying that, he ran away angrily. He wanted to go to the bathroom to check his private parts; it was too itchy!
