chapter 72 He doesn't like women?
"What the hell are you talking about?"
It took Yelena a few minutes to come back to her senses. When she did, she lashed out angrily, rushing forward and wanting to hit Olivia.
"Consider your words carefully and think about the consequences before speaking. How dare you slander and humiliate the Si Family?" Yelena yelled agitatedly, her face flushing red with anger.
Michelle was upset, too. "Are you cursing me? Don't think you can spew nonsense before us just because you're the miracle doctor that Xavier invited here."
Zachary looked at Xavier. "Xavier, are you sure you are going to stand by and watch as the person you brought over talk crap in our house?"
"The miracle doctor is so talented that she doesn't have to feel a person's pulse, and only need to glance at the person to know what's wrong with them." Zeke adjusted his glasses and smiled with interest.
"Then you might as well tell me. What's wrong with me?"
He was sure he was in good health and that Olivia had no dirt on him.
After all, Zeke had just gone through his physical examination report two days ago.
Olivia glanced at Zeke, raised her eyebrows, and smiled mischievously. "Young Master Si, are you sure you want me to air your dirty laundry in public?"
Zeke's eyes deepened, and he felt uneasy for a moment. However, he recalled Olivia's earlier statements, feeling like they were all bullshit.
He didn't believe there was such a powerful doctor in the world who could determine other people's health issues with a single glance.
"Don't blame us for being rude if you don't have anything to say now." Zeke snorted coldly.
Olivia smiled. "You seemed to be the only son. However, you are currently in a relationship with a man. I wonder what the outsiders will think of the Si Family if they discover this secret of yours?"
"That's nonsense!" Zeke exclaimed, "I asked you to talk about my physical problems, but you used these rumors to slander me. Do you know that slandering state officials will lead to jail time?" Zeke yelled agitatedly, cutting off Olivia's words. He radiated a strong aura of superiority, which made the room tense.
Olivia smiled, unafraid of Zeke's threat. "Well, you wanted me to talk about what's wrong with you, so I told everyone that you liked men. Or do you want me to tell everyone that you have a sexual dysfunction?"
"You..." Zeke was so angry that he rushed over to Olivia, raising his hand and wanting to hit her.
Before Olivia could react, Xavier grabbed Zeke's hand and stopped him from laying his hands on Olivia.
"Is everyone in the Si Family sore losers? You told her to speak, and when she did and got it correctly, you became frustrated and wanted to hit her. Is that how the Si Family taught you?" Xavier mocked Zeke. The gloom in his eyes forced Zeke to retreat backward.
As the head of a certain ministerial department in Jing Cheng, Zeke was a very promising young man with a great career, and he had always been the Si Family's pride.
Zachary had hoped for Zeke to join the business world instead of the political world. After all, the Si Family's main focus was in the business industry. However, Zeke insisted otherwise, and there was
nothing else Zachary could do.
Fortunately, Zachary made something for himself in business. He would have no problem leading the Si Family for ten to twenty years if the time came.
Besides, Zachary's mistress was also pregnant. If she gave birth to a son, then Zachary didn't have to worry about the Si Family's future anymore.
At least he didn't have to worry about the Si Family's business falling into the hands of outsiders.
But now, Zoey had announced that Zeke was gay.
Zachary felt like his world had crumbled when he heard the woman's words.
Even though the 28-year-old Zeke maintained his moral integrity all these years, he had a fiancée. They had yet to get married, though. Zeke kept postponing their wedding for various reasons, even after being pressured by the Si Family and his fiancee's family repeatedly.
Zachary thought Zeke merely didn't want marriage and women to affect his career negatively and didn't overthink it.
So now, he lost his composure entirely upon hearing Olivia's words.
"She's full of nonsense." Zachary looked frustrated. He pulled Zeke over and stood before the latter, saying to Xavier, "Xavier, I've given you enough respect. Do you think anyone else here other than Dad treats you like a family? Hah!"
"We are very grateful and touched that you are willing to find a doctor to treat Dad. However, if you deliberately bring a random person over to slander us here and try to destroy the unity within the Si Family, then don't blame me for being rude!"
"Guys, chase this impostor out of my house now!" Zachary roared. Several bodyguards immediately came forward.
The bodyguards didn't dare to do anything rash, with Xavier protecting Olivia.
The leading bodyguard spoke coldly. "Mr. Xavier, please get out of the way!"
Olivia shrugged innocently, grinning. "Ordinary people would be embarrassed too when others speak of their weakness and secrets. What's more, you guys are the respectable, honored members of the Si Family. It's only natural for you guys to act this way."
"Are you sure you don't want me to treat Old Mr. Si? Mr. Zachary, if I treat him now, you only have to pay me two hundred million dollars." Olivia raised two of her fingers. "But if I leave now, and you guys want me to return in the future, the price will be doubled. I will only come if you agree to pay me four hundred million dollars then."
Olivia had treated fair shares of elderlies from various affluent families. She merely gave the Si Family a discount for the treatment fee for Xavier's sake.
But since the Si Family didn't appreciate her kindness, she didn't mind being heartless.
"Take this person away immediately!" Zachary fumed, his body trembling.
Olivia smiled and shrugged. She walked out on her own. "There's no need for that. I'll leave by myself."
Xavier didn't understand Olivia's purpose in doing so. He could barely suppress his anger after seeing the Si Family treating her in such a manner, so he didn't bother asking Olivia to calm down.
He thought, "If she wants to leave, I'm going with her."
"Mr. Zachary, consider your options carefully and remember to call me." Xavier trailed after Olivia and left after saying that.
"What the hell?!" Zachary grumbled, "How dare a wild girl that appeared out of nowhere try to fool us?! We are the wealthiest family in Jing Cheng! Does she think we are all pushovers?"
The others expressed their dissatisfaction at Olivia's remarks, too. They scolded her before leaving with their minds occupied by their own concerns.
As soon as the rest left, Zachary called his son to his study. "Zeke, be honest with me. Was the woman right about what she said?"
Apart from anything else, Olivia was absolutely right about Zachary's physical symptoms.
It was just that Zachary refused to admit it on the spot.
But his son's matter was related to the future of the Si Family, and he had to discuss it with Zeke.
"Dad, how could you listen to that woman's nonsense? She must be looking for trouble and is deliberating sending us on a wild goose's chase!" Zeke replied angrily but didn't dare to look into Zachary's eyes.
"If it's not true, come with me to the Ling Family tomorrow to propose marriage to their daughter. You guys should settle down soon. We only have you as an heir, and the Si Family's future is in your hands! You are not allowed to be capricious anymore." All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Zeke clenched his fists tightly, and there was viciousness in his narrowed eyes.
