Ye Xuan returned to his room, feeling nothing but an icy chill in his heart as he faced the Jiang Family members simmering with indignation before him. A nameless rage began to surge within him.
"Xie Fenglin! Look at the mess you’ve made. Did you bring someone here on purpose to humiliate our Jiang Family?"
Jiang Qi was beyond furious, and it wasn’t until Ye Xuan had walked far away that he unleashed his rage, stepping forward and shouting accusatorily with a finger pointed at Xie Fenglin’s nose.
"Exactly, Xie Fenglin. Our Jiang Family has treated you well, how could you do this to Elder Jiang?"
"This is indeed going too far, bringing a swindler here, not only injuring Bi Konghai but also insulting all of us! This is utterly unacceptable."
"Hmph, I see this as intentional. He got sick himself, and now he doesn’t want any of us to live in peace. Such a dark hearted person!"
The members of the Jiang Family took turns berating Xie Fenglin, projecting onto him all the anger they felt towards Ye Xuan.
Looking at their ugly faces, Xie Fenglin let out a chuckle, and his expression suddenly became serene.
He slowly scanned the roomful of people, his gaze growing colder, a mocking smile appeared on his face as he said, "Do you have any idea who my boss is? Do you even realize how skilled his medical technique is? Do you know how much effort he put into treating Elder Jiang? Haha, you’re clueless! There’s something my boss didn’t say, and now I’ll say it for him. You people in the Jiang Family are so self-important, arrogant, selfish, and self-centered. Without Grandfather Jiang, you... you are nothing!"
Having said that, Xie Fenglin also turned around and left the room, leaving behind a crowd with ugly expressions.
"What right does he have to speak about our Jiang Family? He’s nothing but a useless member of the Xie Family, not even a real man. I bet he brought someone here just to provoke us on purpose!"
A voice in the patient room shouted angrily, echoing the sentiment of most members of the Jiang Family at that moment.
Jiang Jianguo walked to the bedside and leaned over to speak to Elder Jiang, "Dad, considering Fenglin’s young age, it’s understandable that he was deceived. Perhaps, I should contact Dr. Smith from overseas for you..."
"Contact for what! Are you all trying to expedite my death?"
Before he could finish, Elder Jiang cursed loudly, pointing at the people in the room and yelling, "Fenglin is right, you are all shallow, self-righteous fools, locked in your narrow worldviews! And you, no wonder you could only become a mayor under my care, your vision is far too limited! You understand too little of this world..."
Jiang Jianguo, although he was the mayor, stood beside the bed, his face flushed with embarrassment, yet he could only stand respectfully.
The other members of the Jiang Family also bowed their heads, not daring to utter a word, each one chastised like a schoolchild!
After a bout of harsh scolding, Elder Jiang turned his attention away from them and looked toward Bi Konghai, asking, "Kong Hai, how much of your power did you use just now?"
Bi Konghai’s eyes flickered with fear, recalling the kick from Ye Xuan, and he let out a bitter laugh, replying, "Old master, I was very angry and used my full strength, yet I was defeated by him in just one move! This young man is the strongest I’ve seen in my life, without a doubt! Moreover..."
"Moreover what?" Elder Jiang stared at him intently.
"Cough, cough... I clearly sensed that the young man didn’t use his full strength just now. Otherwise, I might not have been able to stand here and talk to you."
After coughing twice, Bi Konghai said solemnly.
Hearing this, everyone in the room took a sharp breath in shock.
A glint flashed in Elder Jiang’s eyes, and he fell silent.
With Bi Konghai’s capabilities, he could claim to be second in East Sea City without anyone daring to claim first.
But still, he had been defeated by Ye Xuan in just one move; the boy’s strength was terrifying indeed!
Thinking this, Elder Jiang became even more annoyed, berating the people in the room, "Look at the fine job you’ve done! Not even Bi Konghai can match him in a single move, how could such a person be ordinary? Fenglin’s friend must have significant backing, and you’ve all misjudged him..."
"Dad, since the young guy is extraordinary, then shouldn’t we invite him back?"
Jiang Jianguo furrowed his brow, asking cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Elder Jiang grew even more irritated and said dismissively, "For a mayor, is that all the sense you have? You drove him away, and now you want to invite him back. If it were you, what would you do?"
"This..." Jiang Jianguo was at a loss for words.
The faces of the Jiang Family members were all sullen, and not a single one could utter a word.
Elder Jiang closed his eyes, his heart filled with exhaustion, and with a sigh said, "Pick up those three Medicine Pills, and the water for the medicine catalyst too. I think there’s still one glass left. Keep it safe, because in the end, it might actually save my life."
After leaving the hospital, Ye Xuan was on his way back when he suddenly received a call from Luo Wei of the Flying Car Gang.
He said he had to discuss a collaboration with someone later on, with a local gang called the Wolf Gang, and hoped Ye Xuan would make an appearance to back him up.
Ye Xuan thought about it and gently declined. He still had another matter to attend to, which was how to explain things to Lin Tong after he got back.
Disappearing without a word for a whole day and night, without even answering her calls— if he were Lin Tong, he would definitely be angry too.
Until he got back to the Eastern Group, Ye Xuan hadn’t come up with a good plan.
So, he resolved to just be bold and take whatever comes. After all, a husband peeking at his wife changing clothes is part of the fun between spouses, right? What could that girl possibly do to me?
Thinking this way, Ye Xuan felt no burden on his conscience anymore. Looking at the modern building of the Eastern Group ahead, he prepared to step forward.
However, before he could approach, he saw a figure walking out of the building—who else could it be but Lin Tong?
Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up, and his feet seemed to sprout wheels as he scurried across to the other side.
Standing in front of Lin Tong, Ye Xuan licked his face and said with a flirtatious smile.
Lin Tong had just stepped out of the company’s main entrance and was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Ye Xuan.
But her expression quickly turned cold, and she looked away. Without acknowledging him, she strutted down the steps and walked forward.
Realizing he was being ignored, Ye Xuan touched his nose. Didn’t his wife see him? That shouldn’t be!
He jogged up to her and leaned in, chuckling, "Wife, it’s me, your beloved husband, little Xuan Xuan. Didn’t you see me?"
However, Lin Tong’s face was expressionless, her gaze cold, as she continued to walk away as if he was just a wisp of air.
Is she really treating me like air?
Ye Xuan knew Lin Tong must be angry; otherwise, she wouldn’t ignore him.
At this time, he couldn’t back down. He had to use the persistence tactic! To assail her with his male charm—ahem, to move her.
So, like a leech, he kept following Lin Tong.
"Wife, where are you heading?"
"Wife, have you eaten yet?"
"Wife, did you sleep well last night?"
"Wife, without me, did you feel lonely, did you miss me..."
