With that, Chen Xiaobei walked into the hospital carrying his stuff.
Because Elder Ming was recuperating here, Zhao Qingshan, to curry favor with Ye Shanhe, naturally arranged for guards to watch over them.
But Chen Xiaobei couldn’t care less about avoiding these people. Not only did he not avoid them, he boldly walked through the main entrance with his head held high.
"What are you looking at? Not happy? Co at !"
Noticing a guard staring at him, Chen Xiaobei coldly retorted.
The guard was so scared that his legs shook.
Kidding !
Chen Xiaobei even dared to slap Ye Shanhe. If he was provoked, could anyone survive?
As the saying goes, the tough fear the reckless, the reckless fear the fearless. Chen Xiaobei was simply fearless!
Anyway, in three days, he would be wiped out by the Iron Fist Ancestor. He could go crazy however he wanted; no one would bother with a dying man.
"Tsk! So boring, a bunch of cowardly weaklings."
Chen Xiaobei snorted disdainfully, pointing at the guard, "You, carry this for and co upstairs with ."
Even Zhao Qingshan’s wife beca his, so Chen Xiaobei couldn’t possibly treat his guards well, and he might as well use them!
Since they dared not provoke him for now, Chen Xiaobei wouldn’t miss this chance to act superior!
The whole way, Chen Xiaobei puffed out his chest, looking like he was daring the world, like a mad dog near its end.
Though Shen Jiawen’s family was now rich, they still couldn’t shake off their frugal habits. Han Xiuqing didn’t stay in a private room and instead took a shared ward.
When Chen Xiaobei ca in, Shen Jiaqi was feeding her mother dicine, while her sister-in-law stood by looking troubled.
"Alright, just put the stuff down and leave, why look like you’ve lost your mom? I can’t eat you."
"Uh, Mr. Chen, just joking, I have a stomachache, a stomachache..."
The guard, with a mournful face, put down the stuff and quickly left the ward like he was avoiding the plague.
Not just the guard, even the other patients in the ward were terrified upon seeing Chen Xiaobei enter the room.
After all, the commotion Chen Xiaobei caused downstairs was big; many in the hospital saw him slap Zhao Qingshan and Ye Shanhe through the windows.
To ordinary people, Zhao Qingshan and Ye Shanhe were as good as gods from heaven.
Beating them was like placing himself on White Impermanence’s death list; it was only a matter of ti before he died.
Soon, the other people in the ward all ran out, fearing they might be implicated by Chen Xiaobei!
"Damn, is that necessary?"
Chen Xiaobei was speechless, suddenly noticing the dicine Han Xiuqing was drinking wasn’t the one he prescribed, and said quickly,
"Mom, didn’t my sister-in-law give you the dicine I made? That stuff works way better than this!"
This sudden "Mom" caught Han Xiuqing off guard.
But her expression showed no happiness; she said coldly,
"Forget it, I’m not your mom, don’t call so intimately, Chen Xiaobei. If you have any feelings for our Jiawen, can you let her go?"
"You’ve now offended Zhao Qingshan and Ye Shanhe. These two are not people we ordinary folk can afford to ss with; can you not drag our family down?"
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
Possibly due to being agitated, Han Xiuqing started coughing frantically.
"Mom, calm down!"
The sister-in-law quickly patted her mother’s back, firmly saying, "Mom, I’ve said before, I won’t break up with Xiaobei. If we live, we live together; if we die, we die together. Best not to say such things again!"
"Why can’t I say it?"
Han Xiuqing beca even more agitated, "Just when good days have just begun, why does he have to be troubleso? Anyway, I don’t agree with you two. If you consider your mom, break up with Chen Xiaobei right now, I’m begging you!"
Saying this, Han Xiuqing climbed off the bed, trying to kneel before her daughter!
"Mom! What are you doing?"
Shen Jiawen was almost in tears, quickly supporting her mother.
But Han Xiuqing was clearly scared out of her wits, hysterically shouting,
"Jiawen, I’m begging you! Even for Xin Xin’s sake, don’t stay with Chen Xiaobei. We really can’t afford to offend those people. Whether I live or die doesn’t matter, but Xin Xin is innocent!"
"Oh dear, why is my life so bitter!"
"Mom, please stop..."
Shen Jiawen was nearly breaking down.
Even though Chen Xiaobei insisted he wasn’t afraid, he was up against giants!
In her heart, Shen Jiawen also felt desolate, but didn’t want to show it before the battle, distracting Chen Xiaobei.
"Sigh—"
Chen Xiaobei scratched his head.
Even though he always acted strong, Han Xiuqing was just a rural woman; how could she have such broad outlook?
Her fear of Ye Shanhe and others was understandable!
So Chen Xiaobei didn’t want to waste ti arguing with her. He stepped forward and made her faint with a point of his finger.
"Chen Xiaobei, what did you do to my mom?"
Shen Jiaqi was frightened, thinking her mother died.
Chen Xiaobei explained, "I pressed her sleep acupoint. She’ll wake up in a few hours, don’t worry."
"Oh, oh—"
Shen Jiaqi pouted.
In her heart, she actually agreed with her mother. After all, the Ye Family was the top clan in the Lower Three Continents; no matter how capable Chen Xiaobei was, he couldn’t provoke them!
Honestly, Shen Jiaqi wanted to scold Chen Xiaobei a bit too. Why stir up trouble when life was going well?
"Chen Xiaobei, break up with my sister! Don’t drag us down!"
Shen Jiaqi couldn’t help saying.
"Shen Jiaqi!"
Shen Jiawen was completely furious, saying angrily, "How can you speak to your brother-in-law like that? You owe everything to Xiaobei, don’t you? Apologize to him right now!"
"Why should I apologize?"
Shen Jiaqi was clearly defiant, saying angrily, "I admit he helped , but how long have I been at the job?"
"Now we can’t even go ho, like street rats, constantly worried, isn’t this all his fault?"
"I’ve already resigned from the First Love Group, just to cut ties with Chen Xiaobei. Sister, listen to , don’t stay with Chen Xiaobei. I’m really scared sothing will happen to our family."
"What did you say!"
Shen Jiawen’s eyes widened, "You, you resigned? Are you being fair to Xiaobei’s efforts?"
"I’m going to hit you!"
Smack—
Unexpectedly, Shen Jiawen slapped her sister across the face!
She was truly furious, using such force that Shen Jiaqi’s mouth started bleeding.
"Sister, you, you hit ?"
Holding her swollen face, Shen Jiaqi, with tear-filled eyes, shouted,
"Growing up, you’ve never hit , but for Chen Xiaobei, you hit , I hate you!"
With that, Shen Jiaqi ran out of the ward, crying and holding her face.
"Jiaqi—"
Shen Jiawen didn’t expect to be so impulsive; it was too late to regret it.
Just as she was about to chase after her, Chen Xiaobei stopped her, saying,
"Sister-in-law, stay here and take care of your mom; I’ll go check on her. Don’t be like her, just a kid afraid of death. It’s normal. I’ll talk to her."
"Xiaobei, sorry for causing you trouble."
"What are you saying? We’re family; she’s my sister too!"
"I’ll have a good talk with her!"
Chen Xiaobei smiled brightly.
