The Jiang Family in Jin City could only be considered a third-rate family.
Perhaps locally, the Jiang Family could take so pride, but in Jin City, the scope of the Jiang Family was too small to be significant.
Just like now, with a single word from the Lv Family, they could sever the future prospects of the Jiang Family—after all, society is a pyramid, and the higher you go, the fiercer the competition becos.
But if you want to develop, besides your own abilities, you need support from others. Without soone to provide support, dreaming of going far is just that, a dream.
"Sister-in-law, don’t bla us for pushing Jiang Nan too hard. She has really screwed up this ti. The Lv Family isn’t soone we can afford to offend," said Li Feng.
"Yes, sister-in-law, it doesn’t really matter for the rest of us, but it’s crucial for my brother. Whether he can advance further this ti is tied to the future of our Jiang Family. If he manages to climb this step, the whole pattern of the Jiang Family will change. If not, with my brother’s age, I’m afraid there won’t be any advantage next ti," soone else added.
"I understand everyone’s feelings. Once Jiang Nan is ready, we will go to the hospital," Jiang Nan’s mother said.
After waiting for over twenty minutes, Jiang Nan ca out of her room, not only dressed in a new outfit but also unusually wearing light makeup.
When the seven aunts and eight uncles saw Jiang Nan’s lovely appearance, they were quite relieved. They had feared Jiang Nan might act recklessly out of despair, which would really spell disaster for everyone.
"Jiang Nan looks so beautiful with this makeover; she could sink fish and drop geese, and even the moon shies away in her presence."
"Yeah, seeing Jiang Nan like this, the young master of the Lv Family will surely pity and favor her upon seeing her, turning as tender to her as one could be."
Jiang Nan looked at her aunts and uncles and coldly said, "Let’s go."
Jin City’s number one hospital.
"Director Liao, can you really cure my son?"
"Lady Lv, as you can see, all the leading orthopedic experts of Jin City are here. However, your son has fractures in dozens of places all over his body. We can’t just operate hastily since the tendons and bones are interconnected. You wouldn’t want improper treatnt to lead to permanent damage, would you?"
"But don’t worry, Lady Lv. We have invited Dr. Shi, the leading authority in orthopedics, to co. Currently, Dr. Shi is inside conducting bone diagnosis for your distinguished son. I believe we will have a result soon," the doctor reassured.
"Lady, the people from the Jiang Family are here."
"They’ve got so nerve showing up." Fury blazed in Lady Lv’s eyes. Her son had been beaten into a ball; it’s been almost a day now, and every scream from the room was like a knife to her heart.
"Let them co here."
"As you wish, Lady."
The people from the Jiang Family quickly arrived before Lady Lv, who scoffed coldly, "Quite a crowd you’ve brought. Is this supposed to intimidate ?"
"Lady Lv, please don’t misunderstand, we are here to apologize to you," soone from the Jiang Family said.
"Yes, it’s just the children being immature. Look, she has realized her mistake and has specifically co to apologize to you and to seek the young master’s forgiveness."
"The young master fancied our Jiang Nan, didn’t he? I think it’s quite normal for young people to have a little spat. Of course, our Jiang Nan is a bit impulsive, and it was an accident that she injured the young master. She didn’t an to," continued Jiang Nan’s relative in an attempt to nd the situation.
"Jiang Nan, apologize to Lady Lv right now," they urged.
Pushed forward, Jiang Nan took a deep breath and approached Lady Lv. "Auntie Lv, I’m sorry, I was wrong before, and I apologize to you."
"Lift up your head," commanded Lady Lv.
Jiang Nan lifted her head, and Lady Lv slapped her across the face.
Slap.
Jiang Nan staggered.
Jiang Nan’s mother, along with the seven aunts and eight uncles, all glanced toward Lady Lv who had struck the blow, biting their lips in silence.
Lady Lv looked coldly at Jiang Nan, "Turn your head back here."
Jiang Nan lowered her hand and, gritting her teeth, turned her head back. Lady Lv’s hand swung again for another slap.
At this point, Jiang Nan’s mother could not stand idly by any longer, and she stepped forward quickly: "Lady Lv, rcy should be exercised where possible. We admit our mistake, but you shouldn’t hit the child like this."
Lady Lv sneered at Jiang Nan’s mother who had stepped forward.
"Slapping her twice is letting her off easy. Do you know what she did to my son? It’s not just about slapping her twice—if I beat her to death, she would have deserved it."
"You think you’re pretty, don’t you, you little slut? You’ve made my son suffer like this; I’ll tear your face off."
Lady Lv reached out to grab Jiang Nan’s delicate face.
Jiang Nan simply closed her eyes.
But at that mont, a coin flew through the crowd and hit Lady Lv’s hand directly, causing her to flinch in pain.
"Who hit ?"
"Excuse , please step aside."
Jiang Nan’s aunts and uncles turned to look at the young man behind them and cleared a path. Li Feng walked through under several pairs of eyes, and Jiang Nan turned around at the noise, unavoidably biting her lower lip.
"Who asked you to co?"
Li Feng stepped in front of Jiang Nan, reaching out a hand towards her cheek. She dodged quickly, and Lady Lv’s eyes blazed with fury as she watched their interaction.
"Who are you to barge in here and ddle?"
Li Feng looked at the irate Lady Lv, "How is this ddling? Your son was beaten into a ball by . If you want to vent your anger, you should be looking for , the culprit."
"It was you!"
Lady Lv’s pupils shrank, and she raised her hand to slap Li Feng.
Li Feng caught her wrist and stepped forward, "Do you still want your son to beco normal again?"
"You, what do you an?"
Li Feng curled his lips into a sneer and looked at her.
"Exactly what I said. If you want your son to recover completely, you need to make a move; otherwise, your son will be left disabled at best."
Lady Lv glared at Li Feng, scornfully retorting, "Who do you think you are, to hurt my son like this and still dare to threaten ? Bao!"
"Lady."
"Break his arms and legs for . I want him to feel the pain my son has endured," Lady Lv said viciously, staring at Li Feng.
"Yes, Lady."
Bao was a bodyguard of the Lv family, a retired warrior, not yet thirty and at the peak of his physical condition. Such a bodyguard was not soone one could simply hire with money; without sufficient status and connections, one couldn’t even dream of it.
Bao stepped forward with an arrogant expression on his face, his gaze fixed on Li Feng’s lightning-fast strike.
Li Feng stood his ground and grabbed the other’s punch to his face.
Bao was slightly stunned and then raised his foot to kick at Li Feng.
Li Feng moved even faster, kicking Bao’s foot back at him, leaving Bao shocked at the realization that the other man was stronger than he was.
Bao growled and lunged forward in a burst of speed, raising his knee toward Li Feng’s chest.
Li Feng executed a spinning side kick with impeccable timing, striking just as Bao was in midair at the perfect distance.
Instantly, Bao flew backward like a cannonball, crashing three to four ters away and staggering into a nurse’s trolley.
Puh.
Bao clutched his chest as blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Lady Lv looked grimly at Li Feng; she was too aware of Bao’s strength, and yet the other had beaten him into retreat with blood spilling in just a few blows.
"What’s all this noise? Don’t you know this is a hospital?"
At that mont, the hospital room door swung open, and a silver-haired elder stepped out.
