Chapter 16: Chapter 016: Knocked Over the Vinegar Jar?

Imperial Dynasty Club.

The Imperial Dynasty Club is the top-notch luxurious venue in Qingcheng City. Anyone who’s anyone in Qingcheng City wants to become a member. Xiao Jinghuai, Jiang Yixiu, and Jin Bao Yan are the founders of this club, and they are also the only three golden members.

So usually, the three of them choose this place for their gatherings, generally once a week, and today happens to be such a day.

But the atmosphere is much tenser than it used to be.

Jin Bao Yan, wearing an iron-grey suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, sat in the booth. His elegant demeanor carried a mischievous, naughty vibe. He swirled the wine in his glass, raised an eyebrow playfully, and said, "Ah Xiu, did you do something wrong again to upset Old Xiao?"

"Of course not." Jiang Yixiu’s eyes flickered as he glanced over at Xiao Jinghuai’s perpetually icy face. "Jin Bao Yan, why does it have to be me? It could be you, too. Don’t forget, both you and Old Xiao are in the business world, while I’m just an ordinary doctor, so there wouldn’t be any conflicts of interest."

Jin Bao Yan, known for his sharp tongue, particularly towards Jiang Yixiu, added, "That’s not necessarily true. I’m eighty percent sure it’s you. Just admit your mistake quickly, lest Old Xiao skins you alive later."

"How can I admit to a mistake I didn’t make!" Jiang Yixiu wore an innocent expression as he looked at the man lounging leisurely on the sofa. "Old Xiao, it can’t be really me, can it?"

"It shouldn’t be. I haven’t upset you recently. What I said when Little Cutie was hospitalized was just..."

Suddenly, Jiang Yixiu realized something, his eyes brightened, and with a cheeky grin, he said, "Old Xiao, it couldn’t really be because of Little Cutie, could it?"

"Who is Little Cutie?" Jin Bao Yan, listening in, got curious too because he figured the "Little Cutie" Jiang Yixiu mentioned must be a woman.

Seeing that Xiao Jinghuai was silent, Jiang Yixiu became more certain of his guess. He smiled and said, "Little Cutie is Old Xiao’s newlywed wife, the woman arranged by the old man. She fainted from malnutrition and came to my hospital, so I got to know her. I even bumped into her at the hospital today!"

Hearing this, the corners of Jin Bao Yan’s lips lifted slightly, as if watching the excitement, he jeered, "That’s Old Xiao’s woman. Even if he doesn’t like her, you shouldn’t have any inappropriate thoughts."

"How could I!" Jiang Yixiu showed a shocked expression, then looked at Xiao Jinghuai, who remained silent on the sofa, and said, "Old Xiao, you don’t really think I have a thing for Little Cutie, do you!"

Xiao Jinghuai brought the glass close to his lips and took a sip, his actions swift yet elegant. "Did you two leave the hospital together?"

"Yeah! Because I helped with a little something, so I asked her to treat me to..."

Mid-sentence, Jiang Yixiu’s eyes brightened, pointing at Xiao Jinghuai, and with a playful grin said, "Oh... Now I get it, you definitely saw me with Little Cutie, didn’t you? Still won’t admit you have a bit of a thing for her? I merely chatted with her for a bit, and you’ve already turned over the vinegar jar, truly..."

Xiao Jinghuai’s light gaze swept across Jiang Yixiu’s face, "I’m not interested in that kind of woman, too boring."

"How boring?" Jiang Yixiu disagreed with his words. A flash of inspiration hit him, and he suddenly thought of a plan, "I think Little Cutie is quite chatty and naturally adorable. Old Xiao, if you’re really not interested, why not give her to me?"

Jin Bao Yan’s hand tightened around his wine glass, looking at Jiang Yixiu in disbelief, thinking: Is this kid tired of living? He dares have designs on big sis.

Could it be he wants to experience being beaten up all night again?
