Chapter 876: Chapter 917: Can’t You Just Give in to Me?
frёewebηovel.cѳmImportant announcement: The book has been renamed "Super Soldier in the City," and the former title "My Wife is a Twin" can only be abandoned. It was not something I wanted to change, but there was no other choice. I hope readers continue to support my work. This statement is also for our countless readers, making it easier for them to find this book in the future so they won’t have trouble locating it.
Tang Xinghuai was in pain, two million yuan! That’s no small amount, just because he acted foolish and all that money went down the drain. He was truly unwilling to let it go, thinking about how long that sum would last if he spent it carefree. He wanted to talk to Li Yifei again to see if he could pay less, but when he thought of the disdainful look Li Yifei gave him as he left, it was clear he didn’t think much of him at all.
At that moment, Tang Xinghuai realized that although he always acted arrogantly as if he looked down on everyone, when he actually encountered a truly formidable person, he was nothing but a fart, not even having the nerve to haggle. He felt so weak; what was there to flaunt?
His uncle never lied to him, so since he said so, it meant that besides paying up, there was no other way. Therefore, after much thought, Tang Xinghuai gritted his teeth, went to the bank, and opened a new account, depositing two million yuan. He wasn’t a real big company and had no financial system, so there were no checks involved, just a direct transfer from one card to another.
The bank teller saw Tang Xinghuai’s teeth-gritting manner as he opened the account and couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing. It was just a transfer of two million yuan from one account to another. Was it really necessary to act as if he had suffered a great injustice?
Holding the card, Tang Xinghuai returned to the hospital and stood in front of Ye Yunzhu’s room, hesitating for quite a while without knocking. He was heartbroken, somewhat annoyed, and also a bit afraid.
Just then, the door opened and Chu Xiaoyao stepped out. Upon seeing Tang Xinghuai, her face darkened instantly. She snapped, "What are you doing here again?"
Seeing Chu Xiaoyao, Tang Xinghuai’s eyebrows twitched. He held a significant grudge against her father, and he had thought he could relieve some of his anger by involving Chu Xiaoyao. Now, not only had he not alleviated his anger, but he was also about to lose a large sum of money, which made him even more frustrated.
Despite his frustration, he had no choice but to swallow his pride. He cleared his throat and managed a slight smile on his face, saying, "Hello, I want to see... uh..." At that moment, Tang Xinghuai realized he didn’t even know the name of the person he was supposed to deal with, how embarrassing to be manipulated into this situation.
"Who are you looking for? Are you trying to take our hospital room again?" Chu Xiaoyao, always sharp-tongued, wasn’t about to let an opportunity pass to lash out at someone who had previously treated her harshly.
"This... I’m looking for... that man, right, Ye Yunzhu’s husband." Tang Xinghuai cursed inwardly, "What the hell is this mess? I’m here to give money, and I don’t even know who to give it to."
Chu Xiaoyao glared, hands on her hips, and said fiercely, "My uncle is busy. Who do you think you are? You think just because you want to see my uncle, he should see you? There are plenty of people waiting to meet my uncle; you can wait your turn for days."
Tang Xinghuai really wanted to turn around and leave. Now that he had money, any ordinary girl who saw his car or his clothes would try to curry favor with him. Now to be treated so rudely by a young girl, especially the daughter of his enemy, was more than he could bear.
"What? Not happy about it?" Chu Xiaoyao noticed the blue hue of Tang Xinghuai’s face, pleased to finally vent the frustration she had felt the day before.
Angered, Tang Xinghuai turned to leave, but Chu Xiaoyao immediately added from behind, "Hmph, you better walk away fast. Just wait and see how my uncle deals with you when he finds out."
Tang Xinghuai’s footsteps halted, his body trembling violently. Finally, he managed to control his emotions, pinched his face hard, and slowly turned around. He approached Chu Xiaoyao, wearing a forced smile, and said, "Little sister, I came especially to apologize. It was indeed my fault. Here’s a small token of my sincerity, exactly two million. I hope you can cool down and not hold a grudge against a scoundrel like me."
Tang Xinghuai didn’t believe that the man inside wouldn’t know he was talking this way to Chu Xiaoyao. The man hadn’t come out on purpose, letting this young girl make things difficult for him and let off some steam. As long as he could calm this young girl down, he figured the man would no longer trouble him.
"Two million?" Chu Xiaoyao’s face showed not a ripple, merely asking casually.
For an ordinary person, or even someone with some assets, two million was not a small amount. This young girl, hearing the figure, didn’t even blink, clearly someone who didn’t think two million was significant at all.
"Exactly, not a penny less, please accept it, little sister," Tang Xinghuai pushed the bank card forward again.
"Who’s your little sister? Don’t try to get cozy with me," said Chu Xiaoyao, snatching the bank card and snorting, "At least you know what’s good for you. Consider this money compensation for startling our little darling, and you got off cheap. That’s only because my uncle is merciful; otherwise, I’d have made sure you went bankrupt."
Tang Xinghuai’s mouth twitched as he realized how ruthless this girl was and that he had messed with the wrong person. He forced a laugh and said, "Then I’ll be going, thanks Li—." The words "little sister" were stared back down his throat by Chu Xiaoyao’s glare. He chuckled awkwardly and quickly turned to bolt away.
Chu Xiaoyao then returned to the hospital room, cheerfully handing the card to Ye Yunzhu and saying, "Sister Yunzhu, here, let me give our little darling a little meeting gift first."
Everyone in the room had heard the conversation between Chu Xiaoyao and Tang Xinghuai. Even though they felt that demanding two million from Tang Xinghuai was a bit much, considering his arrogant demeanor, they all felt quite satisfied. Ye Yunzhu laughed and said, "Don’t be too coy, remember a million of that was already our daughter’s."
Chu Xiaoyao giggled and replied, "Well, that still leaves a million for me."
Ning Xin’er laughed and said, "At this rate of making money, we should just keep bothering our family member here and let him do the extorting. Then we wouldn’t need to do any other business."
Everyone giggled aloud, but to be honest, nobody really cared about the two million, not even Su Yiyi, the girl from a poor family. For her, even two million couldn’t stir any excitement now.
With Chu Xiaoyao having vented her anger, Li Yifei didn’t bother about Tang Xinghuai anymore. What Li Yifei needed to do now was establish a major family in Mile City; such a minor figure could hardly pique his interest at all.
In the afternoon, Li Yifei left the hospital. It was the weekend, and plenty of people were around to look after Ye Yunzhu and their daughter. He, however, had another matter to attend to, which was to deliver some items retrieved from Japan to Old Master Su.
Although Old Master Su didn’t come personally this time, a high-profile member of the Su Family did—Su Mengxin’s Fourth Brother, Su Anzhi. Su Anzhi was a senior colonel and also the head of a special forces unit, which was only slightly less skilled than the Flying Hawk Squad.
Even though Li Yifei usually didn’t take Old Master Su seriously and always wanted to tweak the old man’s nose, upon seeing Su Mengxin’s Fourth Brother, the two stared fiercely at each other like sworn enemies.
"Hey!" Suddenly, with a loud shout, Su Zhian threw a punch towards Li Yifei’s chest, the swiftness of his fist making a whooshing sound, showing the strength behind the attack.
Li Yifei met the punch head-on, and when their fists collided, a dull thud echoed. Li Yifei stood firm while Su Zhian stumbled back two steps and then, with a fierce look, lunged forward again, pummeling Li Yifei relentlessly.
As Li Yifei parried each blow, the two of them fought fiercely for nearly five to six minutes. Suddenly, Su Zhian stepped back, shaking his hands and shouted, "Kid, I’m now your Fourth Brother, and you still dare not yield to me?"
Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Come on, Old Su, we can’t have this, can we? You’re a soldier after all; you shouldn’t use this kind of tactic to seek revenge."
Su Anzhi glared and said, "Nonsense, if I could handle you, would I need to resort to this? Don’t you realize I haven’t been able to stand tall since you took over the Flying Hawk Squad? It’s been utterly suffocating."
Since both were from the military and from special forces, they cooperated on many missions. However, Su Anzhi’s Tiger Corps always lagged behind Li Yifei’s Flying Hawk Squad. Previously, Su Anzhi was really frustrated, always glaring and grumbling whenever he saw Li Yifei. Now, with Li Yifei’s relationship with Su Mengxin, he had become his ’big nephew,’ which theoretically gave him the liberty to scold Li Yifei as he pleased, a prospect that brought an indescribable thrill.
Unfortunately, when he actually met Li Yifei, that thrill was nowhere to be found; the young man still managed to frustrate him tremendously.
Li Yifei handed a cigarette to Su Anzhi and asked, "Old Su, can’t we have a bit of dignity?"
"Talk dignity with you? Isn’t that just asking for trouble? Damn it, I was wondering why I couldn’t get a hold of this kind of cigarette from the old man; turns out that rascal Mengxin had been giving them all to you to smoke."
Li Yifei had always thought getting such cigarettes would be quite easy for Su Mengxin, not realizing they were actually procured from Old Master Su. He smiled wryly and proudly said, "Well, that’s why you can’t outplay me."
Su Zhian glared at Li Yifei, then lit the cigarette and took a deep, satisfying drag, puffing away like a real smoker relishing the moment. After a few puffs, he finally said, "Kid, you’re indeed talented, even managing to win over our Mengxin."
"Can’t help it, personal charm." When Li Yifei was with Su Zhian, he never behaved properly; although he was Su Mengxin’s uncle, their relationship felt more like that of comrades-in-arms.
