"What the hell is going on?"
"Why would Li Wen let Jiang Chen stay at his villa?"
"Yeah, that’s the villa even the city officials aren’t allowed to stay at. How co they let that piece of trash stay there?!"
"This, this, this... Could it have sothing to do with his surna Jiang? Could it be that Li Wen let him stay because he also has the Jiang surna, and might be related to that Mr. Jiang?"
"Maybe, there really is a possibility!"
Once Li Wen had left, Chen Jianlin and the others exploded into a frenzy, each one of them exclaiming in shock, speculating about Li Wujiang’s earlier actions and why he would invite Jiang Chen to stay at the villa!
A scornful smile curled at the corners of Lin Zhiyan’s mouth. Without saying a word, she got up and left the private room.
Li Wujiang, with Jiang Chen beside him, then brought Jiang Chen to a room. As soon as the door closed, he imdiately knelt down before Jiang Chen again.
"I..."
Before he could say a word, Jiang Chen raised his hand to stop him, "I know what you an. Your sincerity today has been enough. I will now treat the hidden injury in your body."
After saying that, he took out a needle pack and administered acupuncture to Li Wujiang.
It didn’t take too long for the acupuncture to finish, and afterward, Jiang Chen prescribed an elixir: "Take this consecutively for a month, and your hidden injury will fully recover."
"Thank you, thank you..."
Li Wujiang left with gratitude overwhelming him, and then he took his leave.
It wasn’t until Li Wujiang had departed that Gong Yue suddenly lost her temper.
She glared at Jiang Chen and asked loudly, "Jiang Chen, do you have so kind of deal with that Li Wen?"
Jiang Chen thought for a mont, then smiled lightly and responded indifferently, "I have no deal with him. The Mr. Jiang you all were discussing before is . He has t ! The bow he gave earlier in the private room was real. He didn’t trip."
"What?!"
Gong Yue was taken aback and exclaid, then asked with a face full of doubt, "So you’re saying you’re highly skilled in calligraphy? And you can concoct ancient elixirs? You healed Mr. Shen’s leg and modified the Cultivation Technique? And you received the captain of Long Ya’s kneeling salute?"
"Yeah, all that is about ," Jiang Chen casually nodded his head.
"Ha!"
Gong Yue imdiately laughed ironically and pointing at Jiang Chen’s nose, she cursed, "Don’t lie to here. You’re just a freeloader. How could you have such abilities? If you were so capable, would you need to beco the Gong Family’s live-in son-in-law? Do you think I’m stupid?"
You’re not stupid? I think you’re the dumbest of all!
Jiang Chen thought to himself with a cold laugh and casually said, "Suit yourself, believe it or not."
"Of course I don’t believe it! I really don’t get what my sister sees in a liar like you! , I would never choose soone like you!" Gong Yue muttered indignantly and turned back to her room.
Jiang Chen chuckled softly to himself, "And who was it just now that even agreed to stoop so low as to be willing to be with ?"
...
The next morning, Jiang Chen and others hurried back to Dingjing.
Life once again returned to normalcy, with Jiang Chen spending his days either seeing patients at the clinic or staying in Ye Jingyi’s room.
"Ding-a-ling-ling——"
Just after speaking with Ye Jingyi for a while, the ringtone of his phone rang. Jiang Chen took out his phone, looked at it in confusion, and answered the call, "Hello, good day."
"Hello, Jiang Chen, this is your class advisor Li Wenjian. Military training has ended, and the school is preparing to host a welco party tonight. Are you in Dingjing?" ca Li Wenjian’s respectful voice through the receiver. The ti Chen Jiantao brought all the instructors to apologize to Jiang Chen had scared him quite a bit.
Jiang Chen furrowed his brows, just about to decline, when another call ca in.
"Mr. Li, please hold on, I need to take another call." Putting Li Wenjian on hold, Jiang Chen answered the other call: "Hello, Yu Wan."
"Jiang Chen, there’s a welco party at school tonight, I’m going too, and you should co be my knight in shining armor!" Ye Yùwǎn’s playful voice ca through the receiver.
Jiang Chen paused for a mont, thought about it, and considering Ye Jingyi’s status and how attending such an event could easily lead to accidents, he nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll co tonight."
"Great, it’s a promise then!" Ye Yùwǎn hung up the phone cheerfully.
After disconnecting one call, Jiang Chen opened the on-hold call from Li Wenjian: "Hello, Mr. Li, I’ll be there tonight."
"Alright, then go ahead with what you’re busy with," said Li Wenjian, politely ending the call.
Putting away his phone, Jiang Chen stepped out of his room.
"Yo, it’s alti again, and here you are! You really have a knack for this. It’s either you co back right at alti or stay in your room until then. Why don’t you just stay in there all the ti?" Gong Yue teased Jiang Chen as usual.
Jiang Chen had grown accustod to it, no longer affected by Gong Yue’s jibes. He sat down beside Gong Lin and whispered, "I need to go out tonight for a bit. There’s a welco party at the school, both my class advisor and Yu Wan called , and I can’t just not show up."
"Okay, just co back early tonight," Gong Lin nodded lightly.
Upon hearing this, Gong Yue’s eyes rolled as if she ca up with sothing, and the corners of her mouth lifted in a sinister smile.
After dinner, Gong Yue hurried out of the house and dialed Xu Zhiyan’s number once she reached the front door.
"Hello, Miss Gong!" Xu Zhiyan’s excited voice ca through as soon as the call connected.
Gong Yue started with arrogance, "Xu Zhiyan, I’m giving you one more chance. That detestable Jiang Chen is going to the welco party too. Make him embarrass himself, and I’ll join you for a al!"
"Really?! Okay, leave it to , I’ll make sure he loses all face in front of all the new students!" Xu Zhiyan spoke viciously after his initial joy.
The last fight at the martial arts club was a huge embarrassnt for him, as the number of mbers in the Dingjing University martial arts club dwindled by eighty percent. All of this Xu Zhiyan blad on Jiang Chen.
And tonight was a perfect opportunity for his revenge!
As night fell, Jiang Chen dressed in casual clothes, quietly arrived at the large school venue, and found a corner to sit down.
"Wow! Look, it’s Ye Yùwǎn!"
"Is that really Ye Yùwǎn? She’s actually co to our school?!"
"Goddess, I love you!"
"Goddess, I want to marry you!"
"My goddess, I’m here, I won’t marry you, I want to wed you, and I’ll cherish you for a lifeti!"
Jiang Chen had just sat down when a commotion erupted, and a deafening chorus of shouting filled the venue.
Turning his head to look, Jiang Chen reluctantly stood up and went over.
Ye Yùwǎn was surrounded by a crowd of students in the hallway and couldn’t move. Fortunately, there were teachers nearby helping to hold off the frantic students, otherwise, the chaos could have been much worse.
"Please go back and take your seat!" Jiang Chen squeezed into the crowd, where a teacher pushed him and spoke sternly.
Ye Yùwǎn, a nationally known celebrity, had returned to the venue that day, sothing the school authorities were aware of, and had therefore appointed physically robust teachers to maintain order.
"He’s a friend of mine," Ye Yùwǎn said, her eyes lighting up upon seeing Jiang Chen, and she quickly explained in a low voice.
The teacher glanced at Jiang Chen skeptically but then stepped aside to let him through.
