Glamorous Doctor
Chapter 742

Chapter 742: Chapter 742

Lin Fucheng was also taken aback. The first person to stand against him turned out to be Xu Yang.

Previously, he had gone out of his way to please this young master. However, Lin Fucheng didn’t panic and said loudly, "Xu Yang, calm down. I only married into the Xu family along with my mother. As long as my mom and Mr. Xu are happy together, I’ll be completely satisfied."

"I absolutely won’t covet even the slightest bit of the Xu family’s fortune. I’m still willing to be Mr. Xu’s driver in the future. After all, you’re all so busy and don’t have the time to take care of him. Rest assured, as long as I’m here, I’ll make sure Mr. Xu is well cared for."

What he said was undoubtedly pleasant to hear and even somewhat touching.

But Xu Yang wasn’t buying it at all. "Stop pretending! If you’re truly not greedy or scheming, why would you even change your surname?"

To be fair, Xu Yang’s intelligence did seem to have kicked in at this moment.

But Lin Fucheng, ever the gambler, excelled at wearing a fake mask.

He declared, "Don’t worry, young master. I only did this to formally take care of Mr. Xu. You’re still my young master in every way."

"Who cares?" Xu Yang said disdainfully.

At that moment, Mr. Xu suddenly rebuked fiercely, "Enough! Xu Yang, shut your mouth! If you’re not happy, then get out of the Xu family. Spare us your daydreaming!"

"What did you say? You’d kick out your own grandson for this lowlife?"

Xu Yang was absolutely livid.

"The Xu family is not up to you to dictate—either step aside or shut your mouth."

Mr. Xu genuinely held a deep affection for Liu Qingxia and had long been impressed with Lin Fucheng.

Having someone to accompany him in his old age made him happy, and he wouldn’t allow anyone to object. While he seemed to be chiding Xu Yang, he was also delivering a subtle warning to his two sons and their wives: stay out of his business.

"Grandpa, I think you’ve truly lost your mind. The Xu family is not some place where just any riffraff can walk in. No wonder our relatives distance themselves from you—it’s because you’re too narrow-minded."

"Li Lei, take your son and leave immediately!"

Li Lei had no choice but to step forward and pull Xu Yang back. "Alright, today is your grandpa’s birthday celebration. There are so many guests here. Whatever issue there is, wait until tomorrow to discuss it at home."

Li Lei had planned to have a proper talk with Mr. Xu, but it was clear that this was not the right time or place.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be Mr. Xu losing face—it would drag down the entire Xu family.

"Hmph, either way, as long as I’m around, that guy can forget about succeeding." Xu Yang uttered his final words of defiance.

Lin Fucheng’s eyes darkened as he shot a glance at Xu Yang. When the opportunity arose, he would definitely make that boy pay the price.

After retracting his gaze, his heart swelled with satisfaction.

This move he played had been extremely rewarding. By delivering his mother, Liu Qingxia, to Mr. Xu’s bed, he directly obtained five million.

Not only could he pay off all his gambling debts in one go, but he still had over two million leftover.

Enough for him to squander. And more importantly, as long as his mother took good care of Mr. Xu, the gains would only multiply in the future.

Most crucially, Mr. Xu was fond of children, and he doted endlessly on his daughter. With such leverage, how could he possibly fail to get money from Mr. Xu?

Therefore, there was no way he would hand the child over to Tang Tiantian.

Tang Tiantian, that wretched woman, had almost been driven to ruin by him before, and he certainly wouldn’t keep her around. With money, he could easily find himself a college girl to marry.

Lin Fucheng had completely forgotten that it was his own actions that nearly caused Tang Tiantian to be harmed.

All around, the guests watched the spectacle unfold. Mr. Xu’s drama had indeed provided a lot of fodder for post-dinner gossip.

Just as everyone thought this farce was coming to an end, a resolute voice suddenly rang out.

"That’s my child. I won’t let you arbitrarily change her surname." Tang Tiantian finally couldn’t hold back any longer and stood up, shouting toward the stage.

Everyone turned their heads, surprised to see that the drama wasn’t over yet.

Lin Fucheng’s face darkened immediately. He clearly understood that if Tang Tiantian caused more trouble, it would inevitably anger Mr. Xu.

Liu Qingxia hurriedly whispered to Lin Fucheng, "Shut her up. Don’t upset your father."

After that, she coyly turned to Mr. Xu and said, "Honey, it’s just my daughter-in-law being thoughtless. The young couple has had a little spat lately; don’t take it to heart."

But what Mr. Xu cared about instead was asking, "Why does your daughter-in-law know Zhang Yang?"

Liu Qingxia froze in confusion. "Who’s Zhang Yang?"

On the other side, Lin Fucheng was also startled. He hadn’t expected Mr. Xu to recognize Zhang Yang.

Dammit, what kind of background does Zhang Yang have? Why does he seem connected to the Xu family?

Could it be that Mr. Xu also approves of Zhang Yang as the future grandson-in-law?

With Tang Tiantian in tow, Zhang Yang strode to the front. It was time he took action; watching Lin Fucheng swagger around unchecked had become unbearable.

When Zhang Yang arrived, Li Lei and Xu Guangzhi both stood up.

"Zhang Yang, what are you doing here?" Xu Guangzhi greeted warmly.

By now, he had benefitted from his association with Zhang Yang and become one of the hottest newcomers in the social circle.

Li Lei’s face lit up with excitement. Lately, just seeing Zhang Yang would make her inexplicably thrilled, even stirring certain physical sensations.

Zhang Yang nodded to Xu Guangzhi in acknowledgment and then said to Li Lei, "Sorry, but today I might have to play the villain because I’m here to stir up trouble."

Li Lei and Xu Guangzhi were taken aback upon hearing his words.

"Zhang Yang, if this has something to do with Xu Yang, we can sit down and talk about it later. I can explain everything," Xu Guangzhi offered quickly.

Li Lei nodded in agreement, signaling to Zhang Yang with her eyes to show some respect for the occasion.

Zhang Yang smiled and replied, "Don’t misunderstand. I’m not here for Xu Yang—your old man’s new son."

"Tell me, what’s going on with your Xu family? You can’t even properly raise your own grandson, and now you’ve adopted some scoundrel son."

Hearing Zhang Yang’s remark, Xu Yang was immediately displeased. "Zhang Yang, why do you have to be everywhere?"

"None of your business." Zhang Yang shoved Xu Yang aside.

Li Lei looked at Zhang Yang with some confusion and asked, "Do you and Lin Fucheng know each other?"

"We just met today."

Xu Guangzhi followed up with a question, "So, does that mean he offended you?"

"I wouldn’t say he offended me, but he bullied someone very important to me."

"Let me introduce her—this is my mentor, Tang Tiantian. She’s also Lin Fucheng’s wife."

Li Lei froze for a moment and took a closer look at Tang Tiantian, wondering what kind of relationship she had with Zhang Yang. Someone very important? Given Zhang Yang’s personality, anyone important to him usually ended up in his bed, right?

If Zhang Yang had known what Li Lei was thinking, he would’ve wanted to find a hole to crawl into—she knew him too well.

When Lin Fucheng saw Zhang Yang interacting warmly with Li Lei and Xu Guangzhi, he felt utterly defeated.
