Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Xiao Chuan Yi Yi
Xiao ngyi's brows furrowed slightly, and it wasn't until the phone had rung for five or six seconds that she answered.
An unhappy voice imdiately ca through the phone, "Yi Yi, how much longer do you plan to stay in Jiangcheng City?"
Xiao ngyi, looking exhausted, said weakly, "Mom, the company is very busy lately. I'll co back after this busy period is over."
"A small pharmaceutical company, can that be more promising than being the Chen Family's young mistress?"
The person on the other end imdiately beca furious and shouted, "Xiao ngyi, listen to , the bank's collection is just the first step. If you don't co back, just wait for the company to be sealed!"
Xiao ngyi's face was blank, her eyes brimming with tears, she said angrily, "So it was you scheming behind my back. Do you know how much effort I've put into starting this company?"
"With a single word, you'd sacrifice my happiness for the Xiao Family's benefit, and now with another word, you want to destroy my career? On what grounds? You want
to compromise? Impossible! I won't go back before the engagent!"
After speaking, she hung up the phone, leaned over the desk, and begun to sob softly.
It took a while for her to steady her emotions, her eyes red as she said, "Now, only grandpa and grandma are truly concerned about ."
"Buzz~"
Suddenly, her phone vibrated with a new ssage.
Xiao ngyi opened the ssage and saw a bank transfer for one million, along with a note "Qin Chuan repaynt."
"Qin Chuan?"
Xiao ngyi was taken aback, this was the first ti she had heard the na.
When she confird that it was the card given to Qin Chuan, the events of that night ca flooding back to her mind.
Rembering that it was her own initiative, her face flushed with embarrassnt.
After calming down, she frowned and said, "I only gave him a hundred thousand, how could he repay a million?"
Although puzzled, she was in urgent need of money and couldn't be bothered with the questions for now. She swiftly proceeded to transfer the entire million to the company account using her phone's backend system.
After transferring the money, she breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head with a bitter smile, "This money, it's still far from enough!"
As she said this, she suddenly froze, recalling that Qin Chuan had said the sa thing.
"That night, you were clearly scared too, but you still stood up, took
away from that den of wolves."
"You clearly took that spiked drink for , and when the drug took effect, you let
leave, not wanting to harm ."
Thinking back on the events of that night at the bar, Xiao ngyi's delicate face showed a lovely smile, "What a fool!"
She suddenly rembered sothing and checked the ti on her phone, saying with a bitter face, "I don't know what grandpa and grandma are thinking, insisting on setting
up with a relationship."
"I understand it's for my own good, but how could the Xiao Family possibly allow
to marry soone else?"
For so reason, whenever she thought about the marriage arrangent, Qin Chuan's figure would always flash through her mind.
The next morning, Xiao ngyi drove to Rose Manor Villa Area and finally stopped in front of a two-story detached small villa.
"My dear granddaughter! Grandma has missed you to death!"
Sun Xiuyun, who was watering flowers and plants in the courtyard, bead with a kind smile and approached when she saw Xiao ngyi.
"Grandma, I missed you too!"
Xiao ngyi ran up and hugged Sun Xiuyun tightly, her eyes reddening slightly. Only in the presence of her grandparents could she feel that deep, blood-thicker-than-water kinship.
After entering the room, Sun Xiuyun ca over with a plate of washed fruit and said with a smile, "Your grandpa took Xiao Chuan to treat soone from the Song Family, they'll be back in a while."
"That's right, Xiao Chuan is the young man I want to introduce to you. Your grandmother's judgnt in people is absolutely impeccable. Xiao Chuan is an exceptionally outstanding boy, and if you two get together, I am sure you will be very happy,"
Xiao ngyi had a bitter expression on her face. She was very resistant to the idea, but since it was her grandmother's suggestion and she didn't want to disappoint her, she had agreed to et the other party.
"Yi Yi, tell your grandmother honestly, did the Xiao Family bully you again?"
While Sun Xiuyun was praising Qin Chuan's virtues, she suddenly noticed that Xiao ngyi's eyes were red, and she seed obviously distracted.
Xiao ngyi quickly shook her head, forcing a strained smile and said, "Grandma, the Xiao Family hasn't been bullying ."
Sun Xiuyun let out a cold snort and said, "Your useless father only knows how to curry favor. When he wanted to marry into the Xiao Family, both your grandfather and I disagreed. In the end, he threatened us with breaking off relations, but the Xiao Family never really valued him as a son-in-law."
"Now, to gain more benefits from the Xiao Family, he is willing to sacrifice your happiness. Does he even deserve to be a father?"
Sun Xiuyun beca increasingly angry as she spoke, and Xiao ngyi quickly tried to calm her down.
"Yi Yi, your grandmother knows you don't want to marry into the Chen Family. If you're unwilling, then just reject the idea! If sothing happens, your grandparents will have your back!"
Sun Xiuyun spoke with domineering assurance, then her tone shifted as she continued, "Although Xiao Chuan can't compare to the Chen Family for the ti being, it won't be long before his achievents far outshine that so-called Chen Family Heir."
Xiao ngyi knew her grandmother well, and there were very few young people who could catch Sun Xiuyun's discerning eye. Now, seeing her grandmother so highly regard a young man she barely knew, Xiao ngyi couldn't help but feel a certain expectation towards this Xiao Chuan.
anwhile, at the Song Family residence.
Song Qingshan and Luo Changsheng were playing chess under the pavilion in the courtyard, next to which flowed a man-made creek. In the crystal-clear creek, various koi the size of an arm swam and tumbled.
"Checkmate!"
After placing a chess piece on the board, Song Qingshan said with a laugh, "Old Luo, you've lost again!"
Looking at the dire chess situation, Luo Changsheng laughed bitterly and shook his head, "Playing chess with you, I've never won!"
"Hahaha!"
Song Qingshan laughed heartily and then looked toward the villa to see Xia Wanrong walking over with Qin Chuan.
"Divine Doctor Qin, you've worked hard!"
Song Qingshan greeted him with a smile and then instructed a servant beside him, "Pour so tea for Divine Doctor Qin!"
Xia Wanrong, full of astonishnt, exclaid, "Dad, Divine Doctor Qin's dical skills are truly miraculous! After his treatnt, Xiao Yan looks much better than yesterday, and today's Xiao Yan is absolutely different from how she was a month ago!"
"Oh?"
Surprised, Song Qingshan then looked at Luo Changsheng and laughed, "Old Luo, it looks like you might not be able to retain your title as Jiangcheng's number one divine doctor!"
Luo Changsheng replied modestly, "Chinese dicine is profound and vast, and I've only learned a smidgen. It's not just the title of 'Jiangcheng's number one divine doctor' I don't deserve; even the term 'divine doctor' is more than I can claim."
"Mr. Qin is so young and already possesses such dical skills. The youth indeed have a lot to offer!"
Qin Chuan replied with a bitter smile, shaking his head, "Elder Song, Old Luo, please don't flatter ."
After speaking, he glanced at Song Qingshan's legs and asked, "Elder Song, if I'm not mistaken, you haven't been able to walk for fifteen years now, have you?"
Upon hearing this, Song Qingshan's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively looked at Luo Changsheng.
Luo Changsheng shook his head, "I didn't say anything."
Song Qingshan was shocked, and remarked, "Divine Doctor Qin's dical expertise is indeed formidable—just one glance and you could tell my disability has lasted for fifteen years."
As he said this, sothing seed to dawn on him, and he beca short of breath, his gaze fixed intensely on Qin Chuan, almost trembling as he asked, "Divine Doctor, is there a chance you could cure my legs?"
