Liu Wenyu was clearly trying to elevate himself by putting someone else down!
Everything he did was just to make himself look good by comparison!
"What a devious fellow..." Wu Tian murmured to himself.
This tactic was far more sophisticated than directly insulting him.
His original intention was to endure some hardship and take a loss, as he wasn't Zhou Qian's boyfriend and future matters wouldn't involve him.
However, since Liu Wenyu wanted to play such a cunning game, Wu Tian certainly wouldn't tolerate it.
A hint of coldness appeared on his face, and he said coldly, "I think I need to explain myself."
"The reason I don't want to be an assistant isn't about the money, but because I believe I don't need to be an assistant to anyone."
Liu Wenyu was slightly taken aback, then asked with a hint of confusion, "What do you mean? Do you think being my assistant isn't a good thing?"
Wu Tian chuckled coldly, "A good thing? Why would it be a good thing?"
"We're both doctors, do you think I'm inferior to you?"
As soon as he said this, everyone at the dinner table froze.
Given Wu Tian's previous demeanor, they couldn't believe he would say such a thing.
Wasn't that guy just a good-for-nothing? A mere nobody, why was he suddenly so assertive?
Liu Wenyu immediately felt displeased. A hint of ferocity crept into his smile as he said,
"Wu Tian, I know you might be a little unconvinced, but you must understand that I am a talented doctor ranked among the best in the city. You're just a village doctor; how can you possibly compare to me in terms of medical skills?"
Zhou Huaxu said coldly, "Wenyu, don't waste your breath on him; it'll lower your status!"
Li Lanfang also chimed in, "Yes, this kind of person is clearly arrogant. You shouldn't bother with him!"
These words made Zhou Qian unable to listen any longer. She couldn't help but exclaim, "What do you guys know? You don't know anything at all!"
"I've seen Wu Tian's medical skills; it's no exaggeration to call him a miracle doctor. Can you please stop talking nonsense!"
Of course, no one believed Zhou Qian's words.
A village doctor being a miracle doctor?
How ridiculous!
However, Zhou Qian's words still made Liu Wenyu very annoyed.
He felt that Zhou Qian was defending her man, which was why she said such things.
He couldn't understand what was so good about Wu Tian that could make a woman like Zhou Qian so devoted.
He said coldly, "Zhou Qian, if you say things like that, I'll be unhappy."
"I am a doctor, and I don't like people insulting this profession like this."
"If a village doctor can be a miracle doctor, then am I not a celestial being?"
When Liu Wenyu said this, he was no longer as gentle as before; his expression could be described as gloomy.
In fact, he had no intention of pretending anymore.
Since Wu Tian insisted on opposing him, he didn't mind crushing Wu Tian under his heel!
Zhou Qian already had a poor impression of Liu Wenyu, and now, hearing his words, she found him even more detestable.
She coldly and sharply retorted, "I don't care if you're happy or not. You're just an outsider, what business is it of yours!"
Liu Wenyu was so angry his lungs felt like they would explode.
He had been successful in the dating scene for so many years; when had he ever suffered such humiliation!
He looked at Zhou Qian with a dark expression, thinking that if he ever got Zhou Qian, he would torment her thoroughly on a Simmons mattress.
He wanted to show Zhou Qian who the truly outstanding talent was!
Zhou Huaxu also realized Liu Wenyu's discomfort and quickly said, "Wenyu, don't be angry!"
"My daughter has been spoiled since childhood and can be a bit difficult to talk to. You shouldn't stoop to her level."
"Don't worry, I'll take charge today, and I'll definitely bring you two together!"
Zhou Qian angrily said, "What do you mean bring us together? I've already said, I've decided on Wu Tian for this lifetime."
"I will never acknowledge someone who appeared out of nowhere like this!"
Seeing the argument erupt again at the dinner table, Wu Tian felt a headache coming on.
But on the other hand, he was also touched by Zhou Qian's anger.
He knew that Zhou Qian was sincerely protecting him. A woman like this might be worth treating with sincerity.
Liu Wenyu wished he could slap Zhou Qian at that moment, but he couldn't show his anger towards her now.
So, he shifted the conflict to Wu Tian, staring intently at him.
He said, "I really don't believe you're some miracle doctor today."
"If you truly have skills, why don't we have a medical competition today?"
Wu Tian was slightly taken aback, then instinctively asked, "A medical competition? How?"
Liu Wenyu replied, "We won't compete in anything else, just in treating patients!"
"Whoever can cure the patient first wins!"
Wu Tian was not afraid of such a competition. He said calmly, "Alright, I have no problem with that."
"Any patient will do. You can arrange it as you see fit."
Liu Wenyu was so angry his teeth were about to shatter.
This Wu Tian, with no actual skill, was incredibly good at putting on a show, daring to speak like this in front of him!
Zhou Huaxu also reprimanded, "What an ignorant young man! You want to compete with Wenyu? I think you're just embarrassing yourself!"
Wu Tian's tone remained calm, "Who is truly embarrassing themselves remains to be seen."
Zhou Huaxu was surprised that Wu Tian dared to retort.
He immediately patted Liu Wenyu's shoulder and said, "Wenyu! Compete with him!"
"Uncle knows your medical skills are superb. Today, let him see what a true medical master is like!"
Liu Wenyu nodded and said, "No problem. I'll call the hospital right away and see if they have any difficult patients!"
After speaking, Liu Wenyu took out his phone, intending to call his colleagues at the hospital.
But before he could dial, Zhou Qian's phone rang.
Seeing that it was Xiao Yi calling, Zhou Qian immediately answered.
"Hello, Yi, what's up?"
As soon as she finished asking, Xiao Yi's anxious voice came from the other end:
"Zhou Qian, where is your boyfriend?"
"Hurry and call him over! Something has happened at our house!"
"Something happened?" Zhou Qian was startled by this.
She quickly asked, "Yi, what happened at your place?"
Hearing Zhou Qian say this, Wu Tian's gaze immediately fell on Zhou Qian's phone.
Xiao Yi was on the verge of tears.
She exclaimed, "I don't know! But my father suddenly fainted after dinner today!"
"What did you say?" Zhou Qian was so shocked she stood up.
"How could Uncle faint? Didn't you take him to the hospital?"
