Chapter 502 Stripped from the Provincial City Rolls
Everyone froze, staring at Chen Xuan in unison.
Li Jiajia's heart pounded. She glanced at the empty doorway, pursed her lips, and sneered, "What are you pretending for? Where is it?"
Before her words could finish, an engine roared to life.
The sound was like that of a ferocious, primeval beast!
The next moment, a sharp screech of brakes tore through the air as a military-green Hummer screeched to a halt in front of Renxin Medical Hall.
The main door burst open, and a cold wind, like a blade, rushed out in a torrent, stinging people's cheeks.
Li Jiajia's voice abruptly cut off. Her eyes were wide with terror as she stared outside the door. Li Hongyan's heart was also in her throat.
A familiar figure, under everyone's watchful eyes, was kicked in the backside by the woman behind him and stumbled into the hall.
"Hurry up and kneel before Mr. Chen!" the woman behind him shrieked.
*Thump!*
The top young master of Jiangnan Province, without any resistance, his legs went weak, and he knelt before Chen Xuan!
This scene made everyone's eyes bulge and their jaws drop!
Young Master Gao had actually knelt before Chen Xuan.
Li Jiajia and Li Hongyan were utterly stunned.
Good heavens, what on earth was going on?
This guy had just offended Young Master Gao to death, and he had stolen Young Master Gao's belongings. How could Young Master Gao kneel to apologize to him!
Everything before them overturned Li Jiajia and Li Hongyan's understanding.
Li Hongyan rushed forward to Young Master Gao, asking with disbelief, "Young Master Gao, how can you kneel to this fellow? You are Young Master Gao!"
"Shut up! If it weren't for you, how could I have offended Mr. Chen again and again!"
Young Master Gao glared at Li Hongyan with malice. He looked up at Chen Xuan, his heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.
Li Hongyan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her eyes trembled as she looked at Chen Xuan. Could it be that Chen Xuan had some incredible background?
At this moment, Gao Chuhe looked at Chen Xuan, her delicate face full of apology. "Chen Xuan, I'm truly sorry. My brother caused you trouble. He didn't know that the White Dragon Card was given to you by the Gao family."
Brother?
Everyone looked at Gao Chuhe. Was this woman Young Master Gao's sister, Gao Chuhe?
No wonder Chen Xuan had been so confident. It turned out Chen Xuan knew Young Master Gao's sister, Gao Chuhe.
Li Jiajia felt even more contempt and frustration.
It was all relying on women again, what was so great about that!
But to be able to freeload and get his hands on a White Dragon Card, that was simply infuriating!
"Well said, 'didn't know.' If I didn't still have some connections, you probably wouldn't be seeing me right now," Chen Xuan said, staring at Gao Chuhe with a half-smile.
Their gazes met, and Gao Chuhe dared not look directly at Chen Xuan, instinctively avoiding his eyes. Chen Xuan's aura was too powerful.
She kicked Young Master Gao in the backside, not holding back at all. "Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Chen!"
Young Master Gao cried out in pain, clutching his backside, and desperately apologized to Chen Xuan. "Mr. Chen, it was my fault. I shouldn't have offended you. It's all my fault..."
At this moment, Young Master Gao felt utterly tragic. Damn it, who could have imagined that the White Dragon Card in Chen Xuan's hand was actually given to Chen Xuan by Gao Chuhe at their grandfather's behest... Who could he reason with?
If his grandfather found out, his fate would be even worse than this!
"Alright, you can get up now," Chen Xuan said after a moment, waving his hand.
Young Master Gao looked relieved, stood up hastily, and hid behind Gao Chuhe.
At this time, Chen Xuan took a sip of tea and looked at Gao Chuhe. "Miss Gao, you didn't come here just for your brother to apologize to me, did you?"
Gao Chuhe smiled. "Mr. Chen, as expected, you're so sharp. I came this time because I want you to examine my grandfather's health. For some reason, my grandfather's health is deteriorating, yet no illness can be found. I wonder if it has anything to do with his injury last time."
"Alright, I'll go take a look," Chen Xuan nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Gao Chuhe breathed a sigh of relief.
She had genuinely worried that Chen Xuan would refuse her because of her brother's misbehavior. It seemed she had worried too much. She knew Chen Xuan was doing this for Su Yunxi's sake.
Gao Chuhe couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
She didn't know when it started, but she had become so apprehensive in front of Su Yunxi's fiancé. Life was unpredictable!
At the same time, she also made up her mind that once she returned, she would have to properly discipline her younger brother, Gao.
Young Master Gao behind them seemed to sense Gao Chuhe's thoughts. A chill emanated from her, and he couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.
Just as Chen Xuan stood up to leave with Gao Chuhe, his peripheral vision caught sight of Li Jiajia and Li Hongyan. He stopped and said with a smile to Gao Chuhe, "Miss Gao, please wait for me in the car. I have something to handle."
Gao Chuhe glanced at Li Jiajia and Li Hongyan, then her gaze returned to Chen Xuan, and she said sternly, "Mr. Chen, if you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask. I believe that few people dare to disobey the Gao family's orders in the provincial city."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiajia and Li Hongyan stiffened, their faces turning pale.
"Miss Gao, if they dare to disrespect the bet, I will definitely ask you to come," Chen Xuan said indifferently.
Gao Chuhe lightly nodded her fair chin, glanced at Young Master Gao, and walked towards the outside. Young Master Gao trotted behind her, a sheepish grin on his face. He was terrified of this sister.
"Now, what else do you have to say?"
Chen Xuan asked Li Jiajia and Li Hongyan with a smile.
Li Jiajia and Li Hongyan's faces looked worse than if they had eaten flies, especially Li Jiajia, who was still holding the banner she had just taken down from the wall.
"What are you so smug about? What's so great? You just got friendly with another woman? How is that making Young Master Gao willingly kneel and apologize to you? Humph, gigolo!"
Li Jiajia looked extremely furious.
She really couldn't understand why so many women who were infinitely stronger than her would approach a divorced man like Chen Xuan. Su Yunxi was like that, and so was Gao Chuhe.
Did Chen Xuan really have something extraordinary about him?
But why couldn't she see it?
Before Chen Xuan could speak, Li Hongyan glared at Li Jiajia and said coldly, "Hurry up and hang the banner gifted by Old Fu for Renxin Medical Hall?"
"Aunt..." Li Jiajia looked at Li Hongyan in disbelief. "Why are you yelling at me too?"
"Shut up, and hurry up!"
Li Hongyan glared at Li Jiajia.
She had clearly recognized the current situation. With Gao Chuhe waiting outside, she had no choice but to honor the bet, even if she wanted to renege.
Li Jiajia's eyes were red, and she bit her red lips with her teeth. Her legs felt as if they were filled with lead as she walked towards the wall, step by step.
Looking at the surrounding people's gazes, Li Jiajia's cheeks burned. How arrogant she had been just now, acting as the new owner of Renxin Medical Hall, but now she could only shamefully go to hang the banner for Chen Xuan.
There was no greater slap in the face than this.
Li Hongyan looked at Chen Xuan and squeezed out a smile. "Chen Xuan, look, the banner is hung, it's not crooked at all. What about Jin Yuan Medical Hall..."
Chen Xuan ruthlessly interrupted Li Hongyan. "Since it's hung, then deregister Jin Yuan Medical Hall with the Chamber of Commerce. From now on, you, Li Hongyan, are not allowed to open a medical hall."
"Chen Xuan, you know we're both from Jiangzhou, so we're considered fellow villagers. You can't just watch us starve, can you?"
Li Hongyan smiled ingratiatingly at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. This was the first time Li Hongyan had spoken to him in such a conciliatory tone. Remember, even when she was expelled from Medicine King's Mansion, Li Hongyan hadn't said a single soft word.
It seemed that Jin Yuan Medical Hall was more important to Li Hongyan than Chen Xuan had imagined.
In fact, Chen Xuan guessed correctly. Li Jiajia's expulsion from Medicine King's Mansion had already displeased the Liu Corporation. If the plan to win over people through Jin Yuan Medical Hall also failed, it would likely significantly impact Li Hongyan's status within the Liu Corporation.
"Fellow villagers?"
Chen Xuan scoffed. "If we were fellow villagers, you still would have wanted me to serve a life sentence? If we were fellow villagers, would you have repeatedly left me no way out?"
One question after another made Li Hongyan's face paler.
"Today, Jin Yuan Medical Hall must be removed from the provincial city!"
Chen Xuan declared resoundingly.
