Chapter 124 Public Warning, Xiao Ye Backs Him Up

Song Qing watched as Jiang Li indiscriminately insulted her, pursed her lips, and suppressed the smile on her face.

Yu Xuanchen, unable to contain himself any longer, said, "Jiang Li, don't be so rude!"

"You know I'm being mean, yet you still come looking for a beating?" Jiang Li chuckled. "You should be glad that I'm only being mean, and that no one's actually getting beaten up. What do you think?"

The woman's fox-like eyes curved into a smile, and her tone was very kind and harmless.

His words, however, were arrogant and domineering.

Chu Yan's facial injuries hadn't healed yet; her fingertips dug tightly into her palms, and her slightly lowered eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.

Yu Xuanchen's face turned ashen as he thought of Jiang Li's unbridled behavior.

Jiang Li gave a sarcastic twitch at the corner of her mouth and turned to leave.

At this moment, Grandpa Yu suddenly spoke up: "Lili, Grandpa has a few words he wants to talk to you about alone."

Jiang Li paused slightly.

Song Qing glanced at her, then said, "I'm going back to the film set now."

Jiang nodded.

……

Grandpa Yu and Jiang Li came to a restaurant near the First Hospital.

In the box.

Jiang Li placed the jade pendant she had just received on the table and pushed it towards the opposite side.

This is to completely sever the last ties between the two companies.

“Lili…”

Grandpa Yu had just opened his mouth when Jiang Li interrupted him.

"You can rest assured, as long as they don't provoke me, I don't have the time to bother them." Jiang Li said with a faint smile, polite and distant.

Grandpa Yu looked at her and said, "Do you think I'm here to speak up for those good-for-nothings?"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, her fingers casually tapping the armrest. "Whether it's true or not, let me put this in advance so you can rest assured, right?"

Power is indeed a good thing.

Qin Yexiao and Rong Xiu are people the Yu family can never reach, and they are desperately trying to use her to build connections with them.

Grandpa Yu may not have any ideas, but that doesn't mean he won't be swayed by Yu Rong and Yu Xuanchen.

She's only sitting here today because the old man didn't ask her to plead for Yu Ruoqi, and he didn't push his luck.

"Are you still unhappy?" Old Master Yu asked, observing her expression.

Jiang Li had a pale complexion. She took a sip of the tea, which was a little bitter, and put down her teacup.

Grandpa Yu poured her a glass of warm lemon water, his voice old and slow: "I should apologize to you in person for what happened to Chu Yan."

Jiang Li didn't say anything.

“When your grandfather passed away, he entrusted me to take good care of you. But after I learned what Chu Yan had done, I chose to protect her and ignored everything you had gone through, including cyberbullying and suppression…” Old Master Yu paused, then said with a self-deprecating expression, “Not only did I fail to take good care of you, but I also caused the greatest injustice you suffered.”

Mentioning Grandpa Jiang, Jiang Li narrowed his eyes slightly, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Grandpa Yu sighed softly.

“My health has been poor these past few years. Seeing my grandson grow up like that, I feel powerless. But I don’t have many years left to live. At least before I die, I don’t want to see the Yu family become the subject of gossip and a laughing stock, losing face and feeling miserable.”

As he spoke, his tone became lighter, and he chuckled, "As for what happens after I die, I'll just be a pile of ashes, out of sight, out of mind."

The invitations for Yu Xuanchen and Chu Yan's engagement had already been mostly sent out long ago.

Previously, Yang Lin and her daughter Yu Ruoqi claimed to the public that Yu Xuanchen and Chu Yan were truly in love, both graduates of prestigious universities, and shared the same interests.

In contrast, Jiang Li has a low level of education, grew up in the countryside, is uncouth and narrow-minded, and has nothing in common with Yu Xuanchen.

We cannot ruin Yu Xuanchen's marriage because of an agreement made by the previous generation.

Yang Lin was worried that Jiang Li would use the marriage agreement to accuse the Yu family of breaking their promise, so she spread these words far and wide.

For established and wealthy families, the spirit of contract is the foundation of their existence.

It was thanks to Yang Lin's actions that the Yu family was spared the stigma of breach of contract.

Therefore, Yu Xuanchen and Chu Yan's marriage cannot go wrong.

Chu Yan was saved.

The Yu family is a respectable family; they can't afford to lose face like that.

Jiang Li smiled, her lips curving into a cold smile: "You can't fool me with sob stories."

"I won't fool you." Grandpa Yu looked at her. "Don't worry, Grandpa won't let you suffer this loss for nothing."

He took out a file folder, pushed it in front of her, and also pushed the jade pendant towards her.

"Open it and take a look." The old man raised his chin.

Jiang Li glanced at him for two seconds, picked up the document, and squeezed it between her fingers; it felt rather heavy.

She casually walked around the rope.

She paused for a moment after taking out the contents.

Grandpa Yu placed his hands on the table. "This villa has a nice environment. You can move in. It's worth 230 million. All the formalities are done. Calm down?"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow slightly and tapped the plastic bag of medicine lightly with her finger.

……

After dinner.

Jiang Li and Grandpa Yu walked out of the private room.

Yu Rong and Chu Chengzhang, who were waiting in the next private room, also came out.

It was lunchtime, and Qin Yexiao, Shen Yu, and Qin Shan walked towards them from the other end of the corridor.

"Miss Jiang," Qin Shan said respectfully, his face bearing fresh wounds.

Jiang Li's gaze lingered lazily on the wound for two or three seconds, then she curled her lips slightly and nodded politely.

Qin Yexiao glanced at Qin Shan.

Qin Shan was perceptive and immediately noticed that Qin Yexiao was looking at him.

But wait until he turns around.

Qin Yexiao had already withdrawn his gaze, and asked Jiang Li in a low voice, "Back to Huating County?"

Jiang Li hummed in agreement.

Qin Yexiao said, "Go sit in the private room for half an hour, I'll take you there in a bit."

“No need,” Jiang Li refused. “I’ll ride in Grandpa Yu’s car.”

Grandpa Yu's gaze fell subtly on Qin Yexiao and Shen Yu, and he roughly guessed their identities.

These two people are celebrities at the First Hospital of Beicheng.

Especially Qin Yexiao's appearance and aura, Grandpa Yu almost immediately recognized the name.

"Young Master Qin, Young Master Shen," Old Master Yu greeted the two politely.

Qin Yexiao nodded slightly.

Shen Yu smiled politely, "Mr. Yu."

This was the first time Yu Rong met Qin Yexiao.

The man had a cold and aloof aura, giving off a sense of oppression that kept strangers at bay.

Before he could speak, Chu Chengzhang stepped forward, his expression ingratiating, "Young Master Qin, are you here to see Lili?"

Chu Chengzhang finally had a chance to speak with Qin Yexiao.

The man glanced at him with his dark, cold eyes, his voice indifferent and ruthless, "Qin Shan, do you think just anyone deserves to appear before me?"

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

Chu Chengzhang thought Qin Yexiao had forgotten who he was, so he put on a smile and said, "Master Xiao, I am Lili's father."

"Is that so?" Qin Yexiao put one hand in his pocket, turned his face to the side, his features sharp and gloomy, his dark eyebrows slightly lowered. "So Jiang Li has a father."

The man's sarcasm was all too obvious.

Chu Chengzhang's smile froze.

Qin Yexiao continued slowly and deliberately, "Jiang Li has so many scandals in the entertainment industry, why don't you, as her father, stand up to help her clarify things?"

His tone was indifferent.

But the moment Chu Chengzhang met his dark, sinister, cold eyes...

A powerful sense of oppression swept over them.

Chu Chengzhang felt guilty and fearful. He clenched his hands, his face pale as he tried to explain, "I..."

Qin Yexiao turned his gaze to Qin Shan and said impatiently, "Stand there and wait for me to do it myself?"

Qin Shan immediately stepped forward and grabbed Chu Chengzhang's arm.

"What are you doing?" Chu Chengzhang asked in a panic.

Qin Shan, tall and strong, stood in front of him and covered his mouth with a tissue.

Chu Chengzhang struggled, his eyes wide, whimpering, but he was powerless to resist. Yu Rong watched as Qin Shan forcefully and decisively dragged him to the restaurant door and threw him out.

Jiang Li stood with her hands in her trench coat pockets, watching the scene with nonchalant indifference.

Yu Rong was terrified. Was this Qin family member... backing up Jiang Li?

"Let's go sit in the private room for a while." Qin Yexiao held Jiang Li's hand. She subconsciously tried to pull away, but then she heard him say, "I'd also like to discuss Song Wei's next surgery with you."

Jiang Li stopped struggling, and her pupils narrowed slightly.

Grandpa Yu gazed meaningfully at Qin Yexiao's retreating figure.

A moment later, he smiled with satisfaction.

He turned and left with Yu Rong.

……

Jiang Li has already eaten.

There were no cutlery in front of them, but a beautifully arranged fruit platter.

"What do you mean by 'next surgery'?" Jiang Li leaned back in the sofa chair, staring at him with her fox-like eyes, her usual lazy and frivolous demeanor completely gone.

The relationship between Song Qing and Song Wei is documented in the hospital records.

Qin Yexiao mentioning Song Wei in front of her means he already knows that the person she came to the hospital to see is Song Wei.

"The Medical Alliance has made a medical breakthrough and is currently conducting a large-scale randomized controlled trial of the drug. The preliminary data is accurate, and it can be put into use in the second half of the year," Qin Yexiao said. "During this time, we can arrange consultations to determine the preoperative vital signs, surgical plan, and postoperative treatment plan."

Jiang Li thought of Qi Zhixia's words, and her eyes flickered slightly. "Give me a copy of the new drug information."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu said with a forced smile, "Miss Jiang, this is inappropriate..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

"Sure," Qin Yexiao replied generously.

Shen Yu abruptly stopped speaking, his eyes widening as he turned his head: "..."

Jiang Li glanced at him, wondering why he was reacting so strongly.

Qin Yexiao picked up his phone, sent the file to Jiang Li's email, and then added: "The success rate of the surgery is very low, but no matter how many surgeries you have, the situation won't be worse than it is now."

Jiang Li nodded and accepted the document.

When he looked up again, his fox-like eyes became listless once more.

She smiled, picked up her chopsticks, and placed a piece of fish on Qin Yexiao's plate. "Then I'll leave it to you, Master Xiao. Eating fish is good for your brain."

Qin Yexiao stared at the fish for two seconds, ate it, and then said slowly, "I hope that next time you put food on my plate, it won't be for other men."

Shen Yu and Qin Shan: "..."

"To avoid any negative emotions I might experience during the surgery, which could affect the success rate," Qin Yexiao said, turning to look at her.

"..."

Jiang Li propped her chin up and said casually, "You've got a lot on your plate."

"Love is exclusive and possessive," Qin Yexiao said without changing his expression.

Shen Yu and Qin Shan froze for a moment while eating, seemingly finding it hard to accept that these words came from Qin Yexiao's mouth.

But both of them tacitly kept silent, trying to minimize their presence.

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and smiled slowly, "Since I need your help, Master Xiao, whatever you say goes."

Qin Yexiao looked at her intently, his voice low and deep, "I'm talking about marriage, can we be a legally married couple?"

"Cough—" Shen Yu choked violently, clenching his fist and pressing it to his mouth.

Qin Shan poured him some water and pushed it over.

Jiang Li's smile vanished instantly, and she said expressionlessly, "No."

Qin Yexiao was silent for two seconds, then said, "It's okay, I'll turn the impossible into possible."

"..."

Jiang Li gritted her teeth slightly, then chuckled speechlessly, "What have I done to deserve this?"

……

The Yu Family Villa.

Grandpa Yu and Yu Rongchu and Cheng Zhang came back.

Mrs. Yu quickly got up from the sofa and went over. "Dad, how is Jiang Li doing?"

Yu Ruoqi also looked at Grandpa Yu nervously.

If Jiang Li is willing to reconcile with them, say a few good words for her to Master Rong, and take her to the Rong residence a few times, the matter of her being expelled from the embroidery class can be immediately forgotten.

These past few days she hasn't even dared to go out, for fear of seeing other people's mocking looks.

Grandpa Yu said calmly, "Lili's affairs are none of your business from now on. Don't even think about using her for anything. Focus your energy on yourselves and stop having any crooked ideas."

"Grandpa! What do you mean by 'having ulterior motives'!" Yu Ruoqi exclaimed urgently. "Haven't she received enough kindness from you since she was little? Now, even if we ask her to do something, it's only right!"

Grandpa Yu frowned.

Yu Ruoqi met those aged and deep eyes, her fingers clenching weakly. "I didn't say anything wrong! That's what she owes the Yu family!"

Grandpa Yu looked at her for a long time without saying a word, and went back to his room.

"That's exactly right!" Yu Ruoqi's face was full of resentment, her expression almost distorted. "Even Jiang Li's own mother hates her! Who cares about her except for her grandfather! What's wrong with asking her for a small favor!"

Chu Yan stared at the plastic bag in the old man's hand and pursed her lips.

It turns out this was given to the old man by Jiang Li.

She thinks she saw the old man taking this medicine in the ward during his hospitalization.

……

Jiang Li returned to Huating County and sent the relevant information about the new drug to Qi Zhixia.

The information may cover too much content.

I received her message after dinner.

Qi Zhixia: [Good heavens! I'm extremely interested in how you obtained this $7.8 million worth of new drug information!]

Jiang Li: [...]

Among the people she knew who were involved in medical research, Qi Zhixia's research and development funding wasn't astronomical.

There's one person who really burns through money.

But they really are rich.

But she was indeed a little surprised that Qin Yexiao would send her information worth around 50 billion without hesitation.

She could understand Shen Yu's expression.

The phone vibrated again.

Qi Zhixia: [You didn't go and offer yourself to the Crown Prince, did you?!]

The document contains Qin Yexiao's logo.

Jiang Li: [Don't go crazy.]

Qi Zhixia: [With the Crown Prince's looks! You'd be better off offering yourself to him than doing anything else!]

Jiang Li, too lazy to listen to her nonsense, asked: "Is this medicine the same project the old man is working on?"

Many labs may be working on the same research topic simultaneously.

It's a competition of who's faster.

Or, to put it another way, it depends on whose capital strength and team capabilities are stronger.

When the conversation turned to serious matters, Qi Zhixia's attitude became more reserved, and she replied earnestly: "There are similarities and differences. Our research directions are the same, but as you know, Master specializes in traditional Chinese medicine, while the Crown Prince specializes in Western medicine."

Jiang Li: [Let me know when you have any results from the old man's side.]

Qi Zhixia: [Master, the result has to be paid for. Do you think everyone is a prince? Do you think the God of Fertility, the God of Wealth, and the God of Marriage are all combined for you?]

Qi Zhixia always felt that Jiang Zaiye's son was simply an angel!

Now there's Qin Yexiao, who brings both wealth and beauty to the situation.

Jiang Li: "..."

……

In the kitchen, Qin Yexiao was washing dishes.

Jiang Zaiye was feeding wolves by the French windows.

Jiang Li, like an old man, crossed his legs and leaned deeply into the sofa.

Holding my phone, I flipped through the documents.

Every molecular formula that appears in the document is the result of spending a lot of money.

If this information were resold...

Forget it.

If Qin Yexiao calls the police, she'll be in trouble for the rest of her life.
