Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!
Chapter 227 Lin Xiang Knows

Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Lin Xiang Knows

He buckled his seatbelt and floored the accelerator, flying out.

"Hey, Siri, call the ’Capitalist.’"

"Okay, I’m connecting you to the ’Capitalist.’"

The call connected quickly, and Jiang Qi said pleasingly, "Hehe, Master Chen, I was wrong just now. You are generous, don’t fuss over what a small fry like me said!"

Jiang Qi thought, once he had Jiang Ying in his grasp, he could curse however he wanted in the future.

Xiao Chen said, "Hmm, I already mentioned it."

Jiang Qi, "...then can you say a few more good words for me?"

Xiao Chen, "She said she wants to block you."

"Beep beep—"

Jiang Qi stared wide-eyed, never having seen someone so petty. It was just a comment about an old cow eating young grass!

Was he wrong?

A twenty-five-year-old man and a high school girl—was there something wrong with that statement?!

Dejectedly, he found his baby Yingying and sent a flattering emoji, but immediately received a notification.

[Message sent, but the recipient has rejected it.]

"Damn!"

He cursed, hitting the steering wheel.

He tried calling again, but the result was the same—no connection.

"..."

Feeling both stifled and aggrieved, he had inexplicably lost a girlfriend.

And what was worst, it was Xiao Chen on the other end, so he didn’t dare let even a fart.

His car sped all the way to the Xiao Mansion.

Housekeeper Xiao, having just been startled by Feng Ye, was about to close the gate when he saw Jiang Qi’s car zoom to a halt right in front of him, nearly leaving him breathless.

A furious Jiang Qi got out of the car and slammed the door shut with a "bang."

"Where’s Master Chen?"

"Young Master Jiang, please don’t drive like that next time. I’m old and can’t take such scares." He patted his chest, taking a few deep breaths before his complexion eased, "The young master is inside."

Everyone seemed in such a hurry—what on earth had happened?

Jiang Qi stormed into the Xiao Mansion, where Xiao Chen and Feng Ye were discussing something, both looking rather unhappy.

His eyes quickly scanned the couch for the aloof man with a jawline edged with coldness, and his hurried steps faltered. He took a deep breath and walked in with a smile: "Master Chen."

He deliberately acted ingratiating, completely forgetting why he’d come.

Xiao Chen gave him a glance and said nothing, legs crossed.

Jiang Qi stepped forward ingratiatingly, holding a white plastic bag: "Master Chen, here are the meds you wanted. I brought them for you. Feng Ye mentioned that your sister-in-law is very pretty. When will you bring her over for us to meet?"

Jiang Qi could clearly feel that after his words, the tension in his jawline eased.

Ha!

Whipped!

Jiang Qi perfectly captured his slight expression—not that anyone needed to ask him how he knew, because he was in the same boat!

His handsome face remained tight as he said emotionlessly, "Depends on my mood."

Jiang Qi sneered inwardly, guessing he hadn’t won his sister-in-law over yet; otherwise, with his capabilities, why would bringing a woman along depend on his mood?

He grew even more curious about what kind of woman could have Master Chen so tightly wrapped around her finger.

Feng Ye returned after finishing a call: "Master Chen, the plane is ready."

Jiang Qi looked at the two of them. Were they planning to take a private jet to fetch his little girlfriend?

She wasn’t from Beijing, was she?

He glanced at the two of them and pointed at the plastic bag, "The usage and dosage are written on it."

"Okay." He put away his phone and stood up. Jiang Qi frowned and stared at his smooth left thumb, exclaiming, "Master Chen, where’s the ring you never take off? You didn’t lose it, did you?"

Wouldn’t those old folks make a fuss if such an important item were lost?

He looked down, noticing a faint impression left by the Jade Ring he wore for many years, his eyes flashing slightly, "I gave it away."

"Huh?" Gave it away?

Can that even be given away?

He wanted to ask about that, but a gust of wind blew by, and the person along with the plastic bag had already vanished in front of him. He turned to look at Xiao Feng who remained.

"Xiao Feng, has your master changed recently?"

He seems to have become more humane.

Xiao Feng looked towards the departing figure, paused, and said with a touch of sadness, "He has changed, become even stingier."

He’s now deducting salaries and annual bonuses all the time. He’s about to deduct all my salary.

"?" Jiang Qi raised an eyebrow at him.

He’s an absolute diamond bachelor, with enough money to last several lifetimes. How can he still be stingy?

Xiao Feng cheered up, "Young Master Jiang, I’m going to leave first. Feel free to stay!"

Since Master Chen values Miss Yun so much, I might as well seek opportunities elsewhere and stay by Miss Yun’s side to ensure her safety. Master Chen would probably increase my salary, right?

...

VIP ward at the municipal hospital.

She had deliberately not made a fuss about her injury, just to avoid trouble, yet she still received many phone calls.

Since the afternoon until now, she had taken dozens of calls. Now another call came in, and she, annoyed, turned off the phone.

"This is the room, right?"

Lin Xiang’s anxious voice came from outside the door, and she instantly sat up.

Well, there goes my sleep.

She concealed the irritation in her eyes and, with a wild yet mischievous look, glanced outside the door. She caught the gaze of frantic eyes and several concerned looks behind her.

Her heart trembled, and she quickly withdrew her gaze, pretending to be obedient as she called out, "Aunt Xiang."

Tears streaming, Aunt Xiang walked in, followed by Liu Lanfang and others.

Seeing her wild eyes, Aunt Xiang felt a sudden peace in her heart and hurried in to check her injuries, "Mayor Wei called me saying you had a car accident. I thought he was joking, but it turned out to be true!"

"Where are you hurt? Let me see."

She lifted the blanket, saw her arms and legs were intact, and her head was fine too; the heavy burden in her heart finally eased.

But seeing her medicated and bandaged wounds still pained her heart.

A girl sustaining so many injuries must be in so much pain.

And there will still be scars left. She is so beautiful, with such fair and delicate skin, any scar would be a flaw.

Lin Xiang said somewhat angrily, "You had a car accident, and we were the last to know. If it weren’t for Mayor Wei’s call, were you planning to keep it from us?"

She was truly upset. Such a major incident had been known to Mayor Wei and others, yet those closest to her had no idea.

She didn’t consider her a mother, yet she considered her a daughter!

Lin Xuanze couldn’t bear to watch, looking at her indignantly, "Exactly, you went too far this time!"

Mom nearly passed out when she found out, and I was terribly anxious myself.

Where would I find another cheap little sister to bicker with?

"..."

She hadn’t expected Uncle Wei to tell Lin Xiang without giving her prior notice. It was not a big deal; she could be discharged from the hospital today. Still, those people insisted on making her stay here.

Lin Xiang was usually easy to talk to, but her tone was severe this time, showing she was truly angry.

However, she couldn’t do the whole act of being cutesy and charming. All she could do was droop her head, looking regretful, her voice slightly hoarse, "I didn’t tell you because I was worried about you all. Besides, it really wasn’t anything serious, just some superficial wounds. A little medicine and they’ll be fine."
