Chapter 55: Humiliated

In an instant, all eyes turned toward them!
The atmosphere in the private room grew stifling.
Su Qingxue’s aunts exchanged glances, whispering mockingly as they pointed at the man by her side.
“So this is Lin Feng—just as I thought, a country bumpkin.”
“Exactly. I have no idea what Qingxue is thinking, giving up such a fine man as Young Master Bai for a nobody like him.”
Hearing these remarks, Liu Farong looked back at Lin Feng, her expression turning cold and stern.
She hadn’t expected Su Qingxue to bring Lin Feng to the banquet—it was utterly humiliating!
“Lin Feng, let me introduce you. This is my eldest aunt, my second aunt, and my third aunt.” Su Qingxue smiled as she led Lin Feng over.
Lin Feng returned their smiles and greeted them politely.
But each of them rolled their eyes, refusing to acknowledge him.
Especially the eldest aunt, Liu Juanrong, who looked him up and down with contempt and sneered, “Young man, I’ll be frank: you’re still so young—why take the easy road and live off a woman?”
“Do you even know your place? You’re dragging our Qingxue down.”
“Exactly! Just look at your shabby clothes—I can almost smell the poverty from here. What do you do for a living? Don’t tell me you clean toilets?” the second aunt, Liu Xiurong, joined in the ridicule.
Laughter rippled through the room.
Su Qingxue, furious, was about to defend Lin Feng, but he tugged at her sleeve, stopping her.
He raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and said with a gentle laugh, “No need for your concern about my job. I’m a doctor. If any of you fall ill, feel free to come to me—I guarantee a swift cure.”
“Who are you cursing?” Liu Juanrong’s face darkened, and she slammed the table in anger.
Lin Feng looked at her disdainfully and shrugged, “Did I say you? Why so agitated—unless you really are sick?”
“You—” Liu Juanrong was left speechless with rage.
At that moment, Liu Farong’s expression grew even colder, and she said sternly, “Lin Feng, enough with the sharp tongue. A fake doctor like you shouldn’t boast in front of everyone—it’s embarrassing.”
She had no faith in Lin Feng’s medical skills. Although he had cured some strange illnesses, he had no medical license and couldn’t stand up to scrutiny.
Most importantly, among those present was a true prodigy of medicine—the eldest aunt Liu Juanrong’s son, Wang Yuxuan.

He had studied abroad for three years and now worked at Jiangcheng Central Hospital, the prized protégé of Director Zhang Yuanqing.
So young, yet already the recipient of multiple national medical awards—his honors were too many to list!
No matter how skilled Lin Feng was, he was nothing compared to this genius of the medical world.
“Oh? So Brother Lin is a doctor? What a coincidence—I’m a doctor as well.”
Wang Yuxuan stepped forward with a gentle smile, “May I ask where you practice? What is your specialty?”
“I don’t work at a hospital. As for specialties, I suppose you could say I’m a generalist. If it’s a human ailment, I can treat it,” Lin Feng replied with a shrug.
“A generalist? Hahaha!”
Wang Yuxuan couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. “Brother Lin, you must be joking. There are no generalists in hospitals. And if you don’t work at a hospital, you probably haven’t even passed the medical licensing exam, have you?”
“I happen to know some people—if you need help, just say the word. Maybe I can lend you a hand.”
“Oh my, after all that, Qingxue’s chosen man doesn’t even have a medical license. How pathetic,” Liu Juanrong burst out laughing. She’d thought Lin Feng was someone impressive from his earlier tone.
Turns out, he wasn’t even a match for her son’s little toe!
She turned proudly to her son and said, “Yuxuan, you shouldn’t help him. If he had any competence at all, he wouldn’t be in this state.
“If you help him and he ends up hurting someone, we can’t bear that responsibility.”
“Oh yes, you’re right! Brother Lin, sorry, but I truly can’t help you. But don’t lose heart—there are plenty of other jobs besides being a doctor.”
“That’s right! My son works as an executive at a construction company. If you really can’t find a job, why not let him help you? Even as a laborer, you could at least earn a living,” the second aunt, Liu Xiurong, added.
Once again, Lin Feng became the target of their ridicule, their laughter relentless.
Liu Farong felt her face burning with shame, wishing she could disappear.
This was the Su family’s banquet, and their guest was being mocked by outsiders—it was a disgrace to the Su family!
If word got out, wouldn’t the Su family become a laughingstock?
At that moment, Su Xionghui suddenly slapped the table hard and said sternly, “Enough! Stop laughing. Lin Feng is a benefactor of the Su family—he’s not the useless man you claim.”
“I am very pleased that he could attend my birthday banquet today. Since everyone is here, let’s begin the feast.”

As his words fell, the entire room went silent.
No matter how bold they were, they had to show respect to Su Xionghui.
Though their mouths were closed, in their hearts their contempt for Lin Feng only grew deeper—how pathetic that he needed the head of the Su family to shield him.
To live as such a man was truly disgraceful!
Suddenly, a stern voice sounded from outside the private room.
“Hey! What kind of service is this? I clearly reserved this room—why are there others inside?”
“Mr. Zhou, we sincerely apologize—an employee made a mistake with your reservation,” the hotel manager quickly apologized, then continued, “There’s another empty room next door. Would that be acceptable?”
“What did you say?”
The man’s anger exploded as he pointed to the adjacent room, cursing, “Are you trying to fob me off? That room is fit for beggars! I reserved the luxury suite.”
“Now go inside and get those people out—I want my room immediately.”
“Uh… well…”
The hotel manager hesitated. Offending either party would mean losing important clients.
After all, the people inside were not nobodies.
“Did you not hear me?” the man barked coldly, frightening the manager into hurrying toward the private room to negotiate.
When he explained the situation inside, Su Xionghui was taken aback.
“It’s actually Director Zhou Liran?”
On hearing the name, Su Xionghui’s demeanor immediately turned respectful.
