"What’s the problem?" Old Master Jing stared at Xiao Yuwen with an expressionless face, "They’re relatives from your Yue family. If you won’t help, do you dislike others for helping?"
"Grandpa Jing, I am just following orders. If it weren’t for the sake of the Zhou family, they wouldn’t have been able to get their luggage by now. When has Zhou Mikang ever helped me? And yet, here I am, taking the initiative to solve job issues for his father-in-law’s family..." Xiao Yuwen sighed with a look of grievance, "I’ve done so much, and still, Grandpa Jing accuses me of not helping, sigh!"
Typical of the Xiao family, shamelessly turning shame into credit—how could he be so brazen! Old Master Jing couldn’t be bothered to argue with him and just nodded, "Since you care so much about the Zhou family, you might as well take your men and go back. I’ve got things covered here."
"Grandpa Jing, this really isn’t appropriate." Xiao Yuwen said with a sycophantic smile, "You’re really putting me in a tough position, but honestly, between you and me, are you helping the Zhou family or the Lin Family?"
Jing Zhe glared at him, "Xiao Yuwen, shut your foul mouth!"
"What did I say?" Xiao Yuwen asked with a meaningful smile as he spread his hands, "Jing Zhe, what have I actually said? I really didn’t think much of it initially, but you jumping out really makes me wonder."
However, I really don’t understand your action. The Jing Family is also a family of status, and you, Jing Zhe, are quite the catch in many young ladies’ eyes. How is it that you’ve taken a fancy to a woman Zhou Mikang has been with?"
"Xiao Yuwen!" Jing Zhe yelled angrily, then charged at Xiao Yuwen. As a doctor, Jing Zhe didn’t intimidate Xiao Yuwen at all—who didn’t retreat but instead raised his fist to meet him.
As the two quickly scuffled, Old Master Jing touched his forehead in silence, "Still can’t keep your cool, ah, a youth’s folly is always so impetuous." He then turned to Old Master Wan, "Big Brother Wan, Chuxia is also your goddaughter, are you just going to stand here and enjoy the show?"
"He can’t beat Xiao Zhe." Old Master Wan glanced at the two fighting, "It doesn’t matter at this moment. Let Xiao Zhe vent first."
It turned out that the usually serious Old Master Wan was just like him, someone who enjoyed stirring up trouble! In that instant, Old Master Jing felt like he had found a kindred spirit. Pretending to be a serious old man was so tiring for him!
With a light punch to Old Master Wan’s chest, Old Master Jing smiled like a sly fox, "Brother, we should hang out more."
A vein popped in Old Master Wan’s forehead. Did Elder Jing think he was a child, suggesting they hang out together? Nonetheless, having such a relaxed old man for company wasn’t too bad. Thinking this, he nodded, "Alright."
Unlike their relaxed air, everyone else was incredibly tense.
The four men Xiao Yuwen had brought wanted to help, but with Old Master Jing standing there, how could they dare rush forward? After all, they hadn’t dealt with Xiao Yuwen much previously and weren’t his die-hard followers. At a time , their own safety was naturally the first thing on their minds.
Chuxia watched the scuffle attentively, especially considering any opportunity to pay Xiao Yuwen back—how dare he insult her! She vowed to settle the score with interest eventually!
As for the people from the Lin Family, they were already panicking, and now they were even more anxious.
Even though they came from a small place, they could tell that Xiao Yuwen was a prominent figure. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to seal off the Zhou family’s home.
They didn’t know who the elder accompanying Chuxia was, but judging from Xiao Yuwen’s attitude, his status wasn’t necessarily much higher than the Zhou family’s.
And now, a fight had broken out.
What if they all got arrested again?
Okay, their arrest was not their main concern. They were worried about what would happen to Chuxia once they were taken away.
Zhao Qiyan and Lin Xiaohua stood there utterly dumbfounded.
Their newly found support seemed on the verge of getting beaten to a pulp. Should they help or not?
To help? But what if they got hurt themselves?
Not to help? Would he still find them jobs?
The mother-daughter duo stood there, their faces alternating between red and white, completely conflicted.
"Enough!" Seeing that Xiao Yuwen’s face had taken a few hits and his foul mouth had finally shut up, Old Master Jing quickly called a halt. Xiao was currently in his prime, and if things went too far, it could provoke retaliation from the old dog of the Xiao family—far too annoying.
"I’ll let you off this time. If you spout such nonsense again, I’ll knock out the rest of your teeth." Jing Zhe stepped back and pointed at Xiao Yuwen, seething.
