Ch. 2101..2110

Chapter 2101 vireo was speechless.

After a long while, he coldly asked, "Dad, am I you and Mom's biological son?"

"Why are you not? Are you making blind guesses again? Who do you take after to have such a suspicious character!"

"I think Ĩ didn't take after you for that. You're not suspicious of anything!" Vireo was so angry that he started to talk back to his father.

"You! You're talking back to me now?" his father said.

"If your biological son had been accepted by a college, would you have gotten in the way of his future?"

"Of course, not!" Lucius blurted out.

Vireo laughed. "Haha!"

He cried. "And yet, you said I am your biological son?"

"You're very capable now, aren't you? You play tricks to get words out of my mouth and you even talk back to me. Don't pull all this nonsense on me! No matter what, your mother and I are the ones who raised you. We have raised you since the day you were born! The kindness of raising a child is greater than just delivering the child! Has it been easy for us to raise you? The purpose of US raising you is so that you can care and serve US when we get old. If you've left US after becoming a college student and never return to this place again, then who should we lean on?" Lucius said.

Vireo was tempted to say, 'Lean on your three daughters then!' However, he did not say it. He knew that those words were too hurtful. After all, they were his parents who had raised him, fed him, and let him go to school. No matter what, he could not rebel against his parents.

Who cared about his biological parents? They brought him into his world but they did not raise him. Instead, they sold him off.

when he thought about his biological parents, vireo felt that his adoptive parents were just a little selfish but they were not bad people.

The boy was only able to get through that summer with endless envy and sorrow. He watched as other students, who had worse grades than he did, got into college. He watched as others ushered in a new hope while he, on the other hand, could only firmly stand by his parents and work odd jobs on the streets, when his parents sand business was getting busy, he would then go to the quarry to help his parents. After a year, his dream of going to college seemed to have been worn away.

In fact, only Vireo knew it himself that he had been studying very hard till midnight every night. He had never let himself fall back for a day. He was just waiting for an opportunity. He was waiting for the chance to talk some sense into his parents. He was hoping to make his parents feel touched through being obedient to his grandparents and parents and through his contribution to the family. He wanted to let them know that even if he had left for college, he was still their son. A person who had left their home would eventually return to his rooms, and he would still return after all.

He had even thought it through that he wanted to take two majors. One of the majors was going to be in teaching and the other major was going to be in medicine. He hoped that when he returned to this county after he had graduated, he would either be a teacher to educate others or be a doctor to treat and save lives.

After one year, although he had been a heavy workload every day and had turned himself into a tough young man, he did not fall behind his studies at all. when the college entrance test was almost open for registration, vireo wanted very badly to tell his parents that he wanted to take the test. He plucked up the courage and came outside of his parents' room, when he was about to knock on the door, he heard people talking inside the room.

"Say, this area is going to be demolished soon. How should we divide these six storefronts?" That was his mother's voice.

"What's so hard about dividing six storefronts? Two for Chloe, two for Ashnah, and two for Abigail. The three sisters will get two each. It couldn't be any fairer," said Lucius in a very casual tone.

After Vireo's mother thought about it, she laughed. "That's right.... that is very fair."

1 Vireo, who was outside of the room with his hand already on the door, was speechless.

Chapter 2102 When Vireo heard his parents saying those words, he was extremely saddened. His heart felt as if it had been sliced by a knife. Fortunately, he was no longer a child. He knew how to conceal his broken heart. There were many things that he had to endure by himself.

He found it very amusing when he thought about it. This family wanted to keep him around to care for the elderly til the day they die, but they were not going to let him inherit a single penny of the properties? Vireo was very tempted to barge in the door and fiercely question his parents, 'Where is my share of the properties? What of the properties do you intend to let me inherit?' His hand was already going to knock on the door, but he stopped.

His ambition was not in this small county. If he were to barge in and question his parents like that, because his parents' actions were unjustifiable, they would promise to give him a portion of the family's properties. At the very best, his parents would divide the family properties into four portions and one of them would be Vireo's. However, if that was the case, then Vireo would be completely tied down to this small county.

No! Vireo did not want that. He must go to college and he must make a name of himself. After he had made a name of himself, he would take good care of his parents. No matter what his parents had done to him, they had raised him, after all. This kindness of theirs would forever be etched in his memory.

Initially, he was still feeling a little guilty. However, after he had his parents saying those words, vireo instantly felt at ease and justified. He had let go of all of his baggage. That night, Vireo left a short letter to his parents.

'Mom and Dad, I have left. I have to go to college. I believe I can get into a very good college. I voluntarily give up the family's properties. However, please be rest assured that after I have gone to college and when I have been assigned a job later on, I will still return to this county. I want you to know that I will never leave you behind. Even if I become successful, I will still not leave you behind. I will return and care for you for the remaining years of your lives.' 1 When his father saw that letter, an entire night had passed since Vireo ran away from home. No one knew where he had gone. He only had 1,000 dollars on him, and that was all he could save up for a whole year with a great deal of effort. He did not intend to hide for very long as well. He just found a school to repeat a grade in order to take the college entrance test. The place he found was very secluded, so his parents were not able to find him at all.

The day of the college entrance test arrived and ended very quickly. Without a little bit of doubt at all, Vireo got into the best medical school in the country, and he was accepted for a seven-year combined degree program. He was very happy. He was so excited that he knelt on the bed in his dormitory on his own and cried.

'Dad, Mom, look, your son is very successful, right? I have gotten into college. A doctor! I'll be a doctor in seven years.

Seven years later, I will be assigned to a hospital in our county, when the time comes, wouldn't you have the glory as well? One of our family members will be working in the public sector, and he is a doctor. How much pride will you have in the future?' That was what Vireo had thought.

In fact, when his family received his acceptance letter, his parents were indeed happy. His parents had been looking for him like mad during that period. They even thought that their adopted son was certainly never going to come back again. However, when they saw the acceptance letter, they had hope again. Their adopted son wanted to go to college very badly. For the sake of the acceptance letter, their adopted son would definitely return. 1 Sure enough, he came home, when he got home, he knelt in front of his parents. "Dad, Mom, I promise you that I don't need your money for college. I can take out a loan. I can work while studying in college. I will be frugal and I will never spend a penny of the family's money. I will also not transfer my address to where my college is at. I will come back and I will be assigned to our county."

Chapter 2103 "I promise you that I will not fight with my sisters for any of the family properties. Also, I will care for you for the remaining years of your life."

Their son had already said it so sincerely, how heartless must they be to not allow their son to go to college? His parents then agreed on the spot, vireo's grandmother, who had always been very frugal with her love for him, even took out two thousand dollars for him. His three sisters also forked out a thousand dollars each. Vireo, who was about to go to college, even left the house with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Vireo spent seven years in college. In those years, he did not dare to date anybody in college. Even though many girls liked him because he was handsome, he was working and studying very diligently, and also because he was calm and sensible, vireo knew that he had to return to the small county. Therefore, if he dated someone in college, he would hurt the girl.

Seven years of college life flew by very quickly, vireo had also become very skilled and knowledgeable. Although he had just graduated from medical school, he was already a skilled surgeon. He had already been performing operations for three years.

vireo was born to be a doctor. He was not nervous at all when he performed his first operation. That was because he knew that he had to save a person's life, so he could not be nervous and had to be calm.

Vireo was already a little famous in his college. However, he had always been thinking about going home.

His mentor advised him. "Just stay on campus."

Vireo smiled. "No, sir. I have to go home. I certainly will be in demand in my county. I don't have any big ambitions in this life. I just want to be a doctor, have a stable job and a stable income for the rest of my life, and then care for my parents for the remaining years of their lives."

However, even such a wish was very difficult for Vireo to fulfill back then. That was because right after he had completed all the applications to return to his county of origin, he learned that from that year onwards, college students were not guaranteed a job anymore. Doctors were also no longer guaranteed a position after graduation. This news had actually spread like wildfire long ago. Therefore, many people in the county who had strong connections had already made arrangements for their children long before the notice was given. That was why even when a high-achieving student like vireo returned home, he had nowhere to go.

It was just a matter of one year. If he had gone to college one year earlier as he had hoped, things would not have turned out like that. He originally had thought that he could be a doctor in a hospital. However, after he completed his seven-year combined program and returned home, he was only able to be idle at home. Also, what was even more annoying was that one by one, he had completely turned down all of those opportunities in the big cities.

He was originally the pride of the family. However, when he returned home after studying for seven years, he found himself between jobs. Not only did the neighbors look down on him, but even his parents, his sisters, and also his grandparents were mocking him.

"You're about to be a thirty-year-old man soon! It's been almost eight years, not only have you not earned a penny for the family, but you have been using the family's money. In the end, you're already almost twenty-seven, but you are still living off your family!

His third sister had the worst temper, she was usually considered the youngest in the family so she had always been spoiled rotten. His third sister directly scolded Vireo in his face. "Why are you still alive? Why don't you just go to hell? Do you not mind the shame? College student? oh, no! I should be calling you doctor instead. My brother, the doctor who is so full of himself, never mind the hospital in our county, but are you even able to get into a hospital in a small town? Doctor!"

He was able to! Vireo was very tempted to talk back to his sister. Of course, he was able to get into a hospital in some small town.

However, he was reluctant to waste everything that he had learned. That way, he would have become useless. Vireo had never been a person who gave up on himself. He had always believed that the cream would always rise to the top. He was someone who had never admitted defeat. Therefore, at the age of 26, vireo had a very serious discussion with his parents, "Mom and Dad, can you give me two storefronts? I'll pay for the rent. I want to open a clinic! I certainly can make a name for myself!"

He wanted to pay to rent his own family's properties and open a clinic.

Lucius and his wife stared at Vireo blankly, and then Lucius said coldly, "Is this the first step of you taking over the Payne family's properties?"

Chapter 2104 Vireo was speechless. If the people standing in front of him were not his parents, he truly wanted to just throw a punch. Perhaps if he made up his mind, he might just dismember his parents' limbs. However, at that moment, Vireo could only be so pissed off, but he had no way to retort at all.

He did his best to calm his anger and then said to his parents calmly. "Mom and dad, I also have a little savings from my internship while I was in college in the past few years. That also includes the years that I have been working while studying. I had never used a single penny from this family, but I have saved some instead."

Vireo took out the bankbook with the records of the money he had worked hard to save in the past eight years and handed it to his father.

"There are ten thousand dollars in there," said Vireo. "I'll use these ten thousand dollars to rent two of your stores. I know the money is not enough, but I will first let you have these. I still have a little money on me, but that is for me to apply for a license and stock up on some medicine, so I can't give that to you. Don't let anybody know about this ten thousand dollars of mine. You can even tell others how generous you are. Once your son has returned, you immediately made room for him to open his clinic.

How great would your reputation be this way? As for your family's properties, I will now write a note saying that I won't want a single share of the Payne family's properties at all."

Seeing that his parents had a hesitant expression, the vireo already made a decision in his heart. He was not an eighteen-year- old boy anymore, he also already had some tricks up his sleeves.

"If you don't agree, then I won't force you anymore. I grew up in this place and I'm very familiar with all the neighbors, so my clinic has to be opened in a place where I know the people. This way, it's easier for me to expand my market. Therefore, if you don't agree, I '11 just pick and rent the stores opposite yours. I will also only give them ten thousand dollars. As for the balance that I don't have the money for, I will use my medical license as collateral. I think as neighbors who are living so close to US, they would do that much for me. On the other hand, you...will only be ridiculed. You didn't even help your son. After all, he is not your biological child. You're biased!"

What he said sent a chill down Lucius and his wife's spine. Vireo's mother felt particularly so. His mother still felt more or less a little sorry for him. After all, she had raised him since childhood. His mother cried and hit his father on his shoulder. "You d*mned old man. Look how hard of a time you've given your child. He has returned home and he was already very sad for not getting the chance to be assigned any work. We, as parents, still gave him a hard time. How can you bear to do that? It's our own storefronts and we still want our child to pay for it? Are you still human? Huh?"

After being scolded by his wife, Vireo's father sighed. "I don't want to collect rent from Vireo. However, are you going to rent Chloe's stores to Vireo or Ashnah's? Or are we going to use Abigail's stores? Tell me, what should we do?"

vireo's mother sighed. "WelL.that's true."

His parents had never thought of the fact that Vireo was their only son at all. They needed the only son to stay by their side and care for them until they died, but they had never considered giving a little portion of the family's properties to him. At that moment, Vireo felt both miserable and sad.

He truly was very tempted to leave his parents behind and directly return to the big city. Even if he had to apply for a job as a doctor, he would still have a very bright future. However, Vireo still held himself back. To be fair, he was not able to bear to leave his parents. He has no relatives. He had been abandoned by his biological parents as soon as he was born, so there actually was a very big sore spot in his heart.

Chapter 2105 That wound has been cleaned by himself in the dead of the nights when he was growing up without the help of anyone. He needed affection from family. He was afraid of being abandoned. He had already made the most absolute decision. He did not want the family's properties and he did not want anything. As long as his parents were willing to care for him and acknowledge that he was a part of the family, he was willing to compromise.

He was a firm and unyielding man. He has good grades and good character and has a great talent in arts. He was gentle, calm, kind, and reliable on the surface, but no one knew how fragile he was in his heart.

How desperate was he for his family's affection? If his grandparents, parents, and his three sisters were able to give him a little bit of warmth, just a tiny would do, and true affection, Vireo would have given his heart to the Payne family. He would have done it even if he were to die. However, when Vireo needed affection and care the most, he did not get a little bit from his parents, and yet, he still could not bear to leave them behind.

He thought to himself that he should just drift along like that. He should just lie to himself and pretend that he has a family in this world, he has his parents, grandparents, and also sisters. It was a lie but it was enough as long as he was able to get by every day.

"Then, Mom and Dad, what do you say?" Vireo asked his father with a cold expression. "You'll resolutely not rent the stores to me and let me rent the stores of the neighbors across the street, right? It Only then did Lucius say, "Vireo, you don't understand what we meant. We are your parents, so how can we take your money?

We don't want to take your money. Do you understand? But what your sisters want is fairness. Therefore, the stores are for you to use, but the money has to be collected in full. That is what we meant. You have to understand US. We are feeling upset taking your money as if our hearts are being dug out with knives. However, we have to be fair to your sisters. Don't you agree?"

"Mom and Dad, who doesn't agree?" vireo calmly smiled. "SO...ÍS this a deal? I'll first give you ten thousand dollars, and when I have money on hand, I will give it to you as rent. You don't have to give me a discount on the rent. Just go with the market rate.

Does that work?"

"Yes! Yes! This time, I ’ll have the final say!" His mother instantly snatched it over.

After they had taken ten thousand dollars from Holden, two of the stores were temporarily available for vireo to rent. The following day, he started to renovate, apply for a license, purchase medicine, and so on. 1 The clinic officially opened for business one month later. Vireo was not a high-achieving graduate, who had completed his seven- year combined program in the best medical school in the country and had interned at all the departments in the big hospital, for nothing. No matter if it was children, middle-aged people, or the elderly, as long as it was some minor sickness, Vireo practically was able to treat them with the most cost-effective, the least dosage of medicine, and most targeted treatment.

In just two short years, vireo's clinic was flourishing. Not only was his business doing so well that people were lining up outside of his clinic to seek treatment, but he was getting more and more famous in the county. Everything was going well. Vireo initially thought that he was finally able to hold his head up high, and was finally about to tell his parents that he was able to support them and had made them very proud, so they could finally be at ease now, right?

However, what he did not expect was that after his clinic was opened for two years and when his business was thriving, his parents said to him with a difficult expression. "vireo, your eldest sister doesn't want to rent the stores to you anymore."

vireo was shocked, "why?"

"Your sister said that the stores are hers, so the clinic should also be hers. She would apply for the license to open a clinic, and you'll be the doctor she hired," his father said, smiling. "Actually, it'll just be the same thing. You'll still be our family's doctor." 1 Vireo suddenly felt disheartened. He sneered. "Forget it. I'm not going to continue with the clinic anymore. I will not do anything anymore, starting tomorrow, I'll just follow both of you to the quarry and work as a laborer. From tomorrow onwards, I'll just be waiting to care for you and send you off after you pass over." His parents were speechless.

Chapter 2106 Both of his adoptive parents did not expect that vireo's reaction this time would be so intense. In fact, they did not have any ideas. They were just thinking they could not let Vireo be more successful than before, what if he had risen up in the world and become uncontrollable by them. What should they do if their son ran away?

Therefore, the whole family got together and came up with one solution, which was that the clinic still had to remain open to generate income for the whole Payne family. The Payne family's business on the street was really prospering more and more.

However, this business could not be owned by the fourth child of the Payne family, Vireo Payne. This business had to be owned by the Payne family. It would have been best if the business could be co-owned by all three daughters. That way, not only would the benefits of the business stay within the family, but they could also better tie their son down.

Without money in his pockets, he would not be able to go far. He would then not be able to fly away anymore. 1 That was what the Payne family had thought, and they also thought that their son would agree to it. After all, their son had repeatedly endured and compromised to the point that he had already gotten used to it. However, never in their wildest dream did they expect that their son did not agree this time. He would rather close down the clinic, mope around the house, and sleep than have the clinic and his career.

That was because there was no hope anymore. Vireo truly was dispirited, so much so that he did not even want to die anymore. The Payne family was very anxious, but they had never thought that it was their family's fault. They thought that they had raised an ungrateful son. Their kindness to their son was so great, and yet he did not even know how to repay their kindness. The Payne family became even sadder especially when the neighbors made some sarcastic comments.

"Well, after all, he was your adopted son. He would just challenge you just like that. How much better do you want to treat this yours of yours? You had supported him through college, and he studied for seven continuous years! Look at our street, which family's son was as precious as yours and had gone to college?

"Isn't he just the same as my son who only finished middle school? Still had to go out there to work and be a laborer moving cement in the big city. Your son, on the other hand, had it so easy. He is an adopted child, but all of you treated him so well. Not only was he a college graduate, but you even gave him the stores and paid to open the clinic for him.

But what happened in the end? He still pulled a long face in front of you as he pleased."

"That's right. After all, he is not a biological child. He did not care about his parents at all. I'm guessing that this thing with a wild ambition just wanted to kill his parents by pissing them off so that he could inherit the family's properties sooner."

"Yes! He absolutely is thinking like that."

"When the children are all grown up, it would be difficult to keep them around! Besides, this is someone else's child that you're raising. No matter what happens in the future, even if the family lineage was going to end, one still can't adopt other people's children. This is the lesson to be learned!"

All of the neighbors were saying that to the Payne family. In actuality, when the Payne family was not in sight, these neighbors were saying different things.

"Well, the Payne family is so rich, so being a part of the street, we can't afford to offend them. To be honest, their son is very obedient. He had been bullied so badly by the Payne family, and yet, he was still hell-bent on staying with the Payne family. How great would it be if I had such a son?"

"Say, how could the Payne family be so lucky? They had been very lucky for their whole lives, whatever business they own would make money. In just a few decades, the Payne family already had six storefronts on this street. How much wealth are they? what's more, they also had such an outstanding son. Say, when can the Payne family's luck be changed and give some of it to US?"

"What luck? To put it bluntly, it's because their son is outstanding. Well, they have such a great son, but why don't they love him?"

"They don't love him? Then, it's the turn for people like us to get rich."

Who in the neighborhood was not jealous of the Payne family?

Chapter 2107 Although they were a family without a son as their direct descendant, their adopted son was very outstanding. How great was it that their whole family could be together? Their business was also doing so well.

Anybody would be jealous of them to their bones. Anybody would be secretly wishing for the Payne family to be a little unlucky.

Therefore, when the Payne family ranted about their son's shortcomings like mad to others and when they said that he was an ungrateful son, every one of these people actually went along with what the Payne family had said. All of them were fanning the flames, and each of them had managed to stir up the feelings of the Payne family.

After the Payne family had heard about the comments the others had about Vireo, the grandparents, in particular, actually burst out bawling.

"What is happening to our Payne family? We've not committed any sins, and we even raised someone else's child very well. How come our family ended up with such a bad ending?"

vireo's grandmother was crying her heart out. "Our family had been living such a frugal life in order to put him through seven years of college. The others only studied for four years, but he studied for seven years. Did we say anything about that? We didn't. We just put him through seven years of college with all our might. Originally, he said he would be guaranteed a job. In the end, when he got home, he didn't even get assigned at all. I'm guessing his grades were not good, so they didn't want him. Has anyone in the family blamed him? We even forked out the money and emptied the stores to open a clinic for him. The Payne family had even all of our heart and soul to him, but what happened in the end? He bit our hands when he had become capable.

We have raised a venomous snake, a venomous snake that would harm others. This is not one to come and repay US for our family's kindness, this is a venomous snake who is here to take our lives!"

As the old lady of the Payne family became more and more dramatic, vireo went from being an adopted son to an ungrateful son, and then from being an ungrateful son, he became a venomous snake, who wanted to kill the Payne family and take their money.

In the end, the husbands of the Payne family's three sisters rallied together to block Vireo in at home and violently beat him up.

vireo did not want to have a fallout with the family, so he just dodge in the beginning. In the end, he truly was unable to stand the kicks and punches from his three brothers-in-law anymore, so he broke all of their arms and legs. It clearly was his three brothers -in-law who had first thrown their punches at Vireo, but in the end, it became that Vireo was the one who had violently beat up the Payne family and had injured all three of his brothers-in-law. Because of that matter, vireo was locked up in the prison for half a month.

The Payne family's clinic had completely closed down. The Payne family had no idea how many people were laughing at them.

However, although the Payne family's clinic had closed down, vireo's skill as a doctor was still very well-known and his reputation was spreading further and further. It was to the extent that many people from the neighboring county and other parts of the country had come to seek Vireo for treatment.

On the day that Vireo was released from the prison after being held for half a month, the high-end car arrived at the street from the provincial capital. A middle-aged man in his fifties and a girl about twenty-six years old got out of the car. They had first strolled along the street when they arrived. After strolling back and forth twice, both of them frowned while they kept on saying to themselves, "Impossible. Impossible." 1 "It's right on this street."

"Mira, did you remembered it wrongly?" the old man asked the girl in her twenties.

However, the girl said with an extremely firm tone, "Dad! I absolutely had not remembered it wrongly! It's right on this street! Why do I think it seems like this store the more I look at it? Look, although these two stores had just been emptied, look at the remaining items inside. There are infusion sets and also some white gaze. If my guess is not wrong, then this certainly was a clinic before this"

"But,why was it suddenly emptied? Didn't you say that he is very famous and young?" the old man asked.

"Dad, let's make an inquiry to see if it had moved to a bigger palace. Based on my understanding of this clinic, its development certainly is getting better and better," the girl said.

The old man nodded. "Alright."

While saying that, a down-and-out man with an unshaven face opposite them happened to be walking over. The man walked to the front of the father and daughter duo. "Are you here to seek treatment from me?"

The girl was shocked. "You-you are Doctor Payne!" 1 Vireo smiled miserably. "I'm sorry but the clinic has closed down... It The girl suddenly smiled. "It's good that it's closed down. This way, you can come with US to the provincial capital to practice medicine.

Chapter 2108 "What are you...saying?" Vireo asked.

The girl raised her eyebrows. "Doctor Payne, do you still remember that I had spent a week receiving infusion therapy here a month ago?"

Vireo gave it a thought and he recalled who she was. That was a girl with a stylish appearance and was dressed in a style like someone from the big city, she had been here in the small county on a trip, but in the end, she was injured when she fell down on a hike. She was originally sent to the hospital in the county, but it turned out the county hospital suddenly received many patients from a certain village, so they were overcrowded, without a choice, the girl came to his small clinic for treatment.

Originally, she had a few scrapes on her leg that needed stitches. The girl was worried to death as she thought that the doctor in a small clinic was not able to handle it well. She was so scared that she cried. In the end, it was after the stitches were completed that the girl learned how professional this doctor was. The subcuticular suture he performed on her had been done so well that after the stitches had been removed, the scar would be so small that it could be ignored. The girl had only returned to the provincial capital after she had received infusion therapy for a week at the clinic. Back then, the girl even told Vireo that she would come to play with him if she had the chance.

Vireo did not care about that at all. He was a doctor and was usually very busy. When will he have time to play? However, vireo did not know that the girl's family had also been practicing medicine for generations. The girl's name was Mira Turner. The Turner family had opened a private hospital at the provincial capital and when they were contacting all the young elite doctors from all over the country, Mira encountered the young, handsome, and skilled vireo by chance in the small county.

When Mira returned home from the county, almost without missing a beat, she called her father to tell him all about it. Her father was in the middle of an academic conference at that time, and when he returned home, it was already half a month later. Mira told her father in a shy and sweet manner that she had taken a fancy to a young doctor. The doctor was a high-achieving student with top-notch skills. He was just in a small county, so his future development had been limited.

"Have you taken a fancy to him?" Mira's father, Phil Turner, asked her.

Mira instantly blushed. "Dad! How can you tease your daughter like that! I have taken a fancy to him. What about that? I don't have a boyfriend and he is not married. It could totally work!"

"So, it was not because you wanted to gather talents for our private hospital that you wanted me to go to the county with you.

You actually wanted me to meet my future son-in-law, right?" Phil looked at this daughter with annoyance.

"Dad! I'm your only daughter! Don't you want to find a son-in-law who is ambitious and could inherit your family business?" Mira said to her father, pouting.

"Alright! As long as my daughter is happy, I can do anything."

Just because his daughter liked it, Phil came to the county together with her daughter. As a father, it was only natural that he wanted to personally take a look at the person his daughter had taken a fancy to. If he did not like the young man, he would absolutely object to it.

To be honest, Phil did not like Vireo the first time he met him. His face was unshaven and did not have the elegant temperament of a doctor at all. On the contrary, he looked like a farmer in the county. His first impression of him was incomparably poor. He had such a terrible impression of him, but Phil did not say anything at all.

Who asked that his daughter liked him? He would just slowly observe him then. As long as was very skilled as a doctor, cultured, had good taste, and the main thing was that he was nice to his daughter, Phil was willing to make more observations of this young man from the small county.

However, never mind that the first impression Phil had of vireo was bad, his second impression of Vireo was even worse. Right when the father and daughter of the Turner family saw vireo and had just spoken to him, the Payne family came out.

When Vireo's parents saw him talking to the pair of father and daughter, who were very well-dressed and did not seem like they were from a small town at a glance, they did not come up to them. They just watched Vireo talking to the pair of father and daughter from afar.

"Miss, I am no longer a doctor, and this clinic is no longer in business as well. If you are seeking medical consultation, you may go somewhere else. If you are joking then, I don't find that joke funny at all," vireo said coldly.

Vireo, who had just been released from prison, was in an unprecedented dispirited state of mind. He had never been a person who blamed others. He had always been a person who would put in his best efforts to turn his wishes into reality when he saw a glimpse of hope.

Chapter 2109 However, Vireo, who had just been released from prison, was in such despair that the sky above him was gray. He was thinking that in the next moment, he may be going to live under the bridge, and from then on, he would join the band of homeless vagrants for the rest of his life. Because what was home? Did he have a home? who should he blame? Should he blame his biological father who made him? Since he did not want him, why did he have him? should he blame his biological mother? since she did not want him, why did she give birth to him? He did not willingly come into this world. Why did she give birth to him, but so heartlessly sold him off? What had he done wrong? He just needed a home. A home with family. Was that too much? But, why?

His adoptive parents had never been willing to give him affection. What they had given him was either them guarding against him or exploiting him. They had also given him deception. However, who else could he, Vireo Payne, look for? Could he look for his biological parents? Perhaps he would never be able to find his birth parents at all in this life. He did not even know if they were still living in this world. 1 Vireo was truly tired. He thought that maybe that was his life. He was destined to be a vagrant, so he should just fend for himself.

He had already made the decision that he would fend for himself. He just came to notify the Payne family that from then on, all ties between him and the Payne family were severed and they would no longer have any relations with each other anymore. As the Payne family did not go through the legal channel to adopt him and he had no blood relations with them as well, the obligation to care for them when they have aged could be exempted. How great. 1 Vireo sneered at the father and daughter of the Turner family. "I'm sorry. You may return now. There is no Doctor Payne here and there never will be."

After saying that, he did not even look at Phil and Mira, but he walked straight to his parents. That lonely figure and that dispirited, cold, and proud face with stubbles was actually a lethal temptation for Mira, who lived in a big city.

"Wow, so sexy." Mira blurted out.

Phil was speechless. He was so angry but he could not bear to lash out at his daughter with the anger in him. He wanted to blame that unambitious and incomparably dispirited young man in front of him.

"You! Stop right there!" Phil shouted in anger.

"Who are you? why must I listen to you?" vireo retorted with a sneer.

"Who am I? I am..." Phil was so angry that he was unable to speak.

"Dad, don't frighten him, alright? I just like him. Don't let his appearance scare you. When he was taking care of me, giving me the infusion therapy, and stitching me up, he was truly a genius. I like him too much..." Mira looked at vireo with a bewildered expression.

Phil was speechless.

"Dad!" Mira pressured her father.

Phil only had a daughter. He had been fulfilling his daughter's every request since childhood. He never was able to bear to let her suffer the slightest bit of grievances. As long as it was something his daughter wanted, he would help her get it. He desperately wanted to catch all the stars in the sky and bring them back to his daughter.

Phil painfully made up his mind, "stop right there! I am your future father-in-law. Do you dare to not listen to your father-in- law’s words?"

Those words had indeed stunned Vireo. He turned his head around and looked at Phil with incredulity. "Are you crazy or is your daughter boy-crazy?"

Chapter 2110 "You! How could you say such words, young man!" Phil said.

vireo already had nothing to lose. At that point, who on this earth was he still afraid of? What son-in-law? What father-in-law?

Has the world been drunk? How amusing! He turned his head around an unruly, and heartless manner. "I'm sorry, sir and miss, do we know each other?"

Both Phil and Mira were speechless.

"I know that you were a patient whom I've treated. However, do you know how many ordinary patients I've accepted in the past two years? It's no less than a few dozen every day, alright? Who do you think you are? To put it bluntly, I don't have the slightest bit of impression of you at all, alright! That's right, you remembered me and you valued my skills as a doctor, but you want to marry me just because I've treated you once. Tell me, if you're not boy-crazy, then what are you? Huh? If you're not boy-crazy, then what are you?"

Vireo's interrogative voice gave Mira such a fright that she suddenly shuddered.

Vireo sneered. "You're a narcissistic and arrogant boy-crazy person! What are you thinking about? Do you think that I am a man from a lowly background and a small county? So, it's my honor that you've taken a fancy to me? So, you can just act so rashly without even asking me if I agree or whether I know you, and you'll just be my wife?"

Mira was speechless. Her eyes reddened and tears were welling up in them. She had never suffered such grievances at her age.

He was right! She simply felt that he was a man from a lowly background! He was such a skilled doctor, but he could not even get into a public hospital in the county. He was such a skilled surgeon, but he was only able to stitch wounds for others at a small clinic. How stifling!

Mira, on the other hand, was able to give him a bright future! she was able to give him all the status he wanted and the opportunity to shine! She simply liked him. what was wrong with her? Was that wrong of her?

Mira retaliated as she cried. "That's right! You're a man from a lowly background! Payne, listen to me carefully! There're many men in this world who came from a lowly background that had no opportunities! You included as well! If you're not a man from a lowly background, then why can't you even get into the hospital in your county! Why can't your clinic, which was doing well, stay in business! I can tell from that one time you stitched up my wound that you're obsessed and passionate about medicine and how much you desire to be a surgeon! Why are you putting up an act now? You can continue to pretend, but opportunities will not be waiting for you time and time again! I'll say it again, there're truckloads of men from lowly backgrounds in this world with no opportunities!" 1 Mira was a pampered girl, she had never suffered any grievances growing up. When she suddenly heard Vireo insulting her like that, of course, she was not able to stand it. However, she felt something strange and also indescribable. What was that kind of feeling? It was as if she had been conquered by this man from a lowly background, who was right before her eyes.

Right at that moment when Mira was conquered by Vireo, vireo was also stunned by what Mira had said. He had studied medicine for seven years. Surely, he could not truly just waste it all like that, right? He had originally wanted to sever all ties with his parents anyway. If this woman in front of him and also her father was able to give him an opportunity, then perhaps one day in the future, he would also be a world-renowned doctor. At that moment, vireo turned his head back and stared blankly at Mira.

Even Vireo himself felt that he was a proper and true humble man from a lowly background, let alone Mira. He was born in a small county. Although his family was not as poor as the other families, they had no connections and the whole family had been relying on Vireo.
