"My God, brother-in-law... so, so strong!"
Su Xiaofan's eyes widened, filled with shock and admiration. He knew Jiang Shao's subordinates were formidable; any one of them could take on more than a dozen people. Yet, these experts were utterly outmatched by Tianyi's boyfriend. It was incredible.
Looking at the five or six Jiang family experts lying on the ground, Xia Minghai was also startled. Good heavens, Ye Xuan was so fierce. These were the absolute strongest experts of the Jiang family. Ye Xuan alone could probably sweep through the entire Jiang family. Could it be... he was a top-tier master?
If that were the case, his identity would be even more terrifying than imagined!
Apprehension!
Unprecedented apprehension. The scene before him spoke volumes.
This person could only be befriended, never made an enemy! This was Xia Minghai's first thought. Becoming his enemy would have severe consequences.
"You! Impossible!!"
Jiang Shaoqing's pupils contracted sharply. He stared in disbelief at the figure not far away. How could this be? How could that person defeat their Jiang family's elite experts? No, to be precise, it was an instant kill. Who the hell was this kid?
"You... what are you doing? Don't come over... I warn you, I am a member of the Tianhai Jiang family, the gre..."
With a *slap*, Ye Xuan struck Jiang Shaoqing, who had just struggled to his feet, sending him sprawling back to the ground. Xia Minghai's lips twitched, his eyelids jumping uncontrollably. He deserved to be the mastermind behind Wanhao Group; he was ruthless! But he was certainly qualified!
Impressive!
Seeing his brother-in-law display such power, Su Xiaofan's eyes sparkled. This brother-in-law was amazing! With such a capable brother-in-law, who would dare bully Tianyi? Su Xiaofan even suspected that if his aunt and uncle bullied Tianyi, his brother-in-law would confront them.
"You dare lay a hand on my woman? Who do you think you are!"
Before he lost consciousness, Jiang Shaoqing heard a cold voice. In his last moments before passing out, he swore that the first thing he would do upon waking was kill that kid. No matter who he was, he had to die!
"Brother-in-law, you did great!"
Su Xiaofan's face was flushed with excitement, his eyes full of adoring little stars. Was this the man his sister, Tianyi, had found? Tianyi's taste was indeed excellent; only someone like this was worthy of her.
Luo Tianyi coughed.
"Go on, stop your nonsense."
Hearing her cousin Su Xiaofan's words, Luo Tianyi's face flushed crimson. The air around her seemed to dim in the presence of her exquisitely beautiful smile. Her graceful smile captivated the onlookers, making them yearn to approach and savor her beauty. However, upon seeing Ye Xuan beside Luo Tianyi, it was like a bucket of cold water poured over them. They swallowed hard, shuddered, and felt a chill run down their spines.
"Damn, we almost lost our lives!!" This was a ruthless individual. They dared not look at Luo Tianyi any longer, fearing they might provoke that fiend!
Following this, the lobby manager of Jiuzhongtian's dining area, under Xia Minghai's instructions, began to restore order. They made calls to the hospital and also promptly notified the Tianhai Jiang family, as they were also one of Tianhai's four top families. Xia Minghai did not wish to offend the Jiang family unless absolutely necessary. However, Xia Minghai's intuition told him that the Jiang family was in for big trouble this time. He knew the temperament of Jiang Shaoqing's father, Jiang Donglin, all too well. If he learned his beloved son had been hospitalized, it would unleash boundless fury. No one, not even a heavenly king, could appease him. This might just be the moment for the Jiang family's downfall.
Jiuzhongtian, a private room.
"Brother-in-law, you're amazing, truly!"
Su Xiaofan's eyes were full of admiration and excitement, still feeling a surge of adrenaline.
"Heh heh, your sister's name is Su Wanqing, right?"
Looking at Su Xiaofan, who bore some resemblance to Su Wanqing, Ye Xuan clearly recognized him. "Your address of 'brother-in-law' is quite fitting; you have potential."
"Heh heh, you think so~~" Su Xiaofan chuckled, scratching the back of his head. His simple demeanor made it impossible to connect him with the stubborn youth from moments ago.
"You wish! Hurry up and order food," Luo Tianyi rolled her eyes at the two, who were chatting like old friends, their camaraderie so natural.
"It's okay, your sister is shy."
Luo Tianyi: "..........."
"Pfft~ Cough, cough!!" Hearing her brother-in-law's bold remark, Su Xiaofan choked on his tea, earning a glare from Luo Tianyi. No, to be precise, it was a threatening and displeased look.
"Xiaofan, your brother-in-law, no, your Brother Ye is treating today. Order whatever you want."
Luo Tianyi slipped up, her face turning red. She quickly corrected herself from "brother-in-law" to "Brother Ye" and shot a fierce glare at Ye Xuan, that scoundrel who had almost led her astray. So annoying.
"Uh, this... Tianyi sis, is that okay?" Su Xiaofan looked at Luo Tianyi hesitantly. Ye Xuan, seeing his wife's adorable expression, smiled slightly. "It's fine, Xiaofan. Your brother-in-law has plenty of money. Eat to your heart's content."
"Really, brother-in-law?" Su Xiaofan asked for confirmation. Upon receiving his brother-in-law's affirmative nod, he swallowed hard. "Then, brother-in-law, I won't hold back."
Luo Tianyi: "!?!" Brother-in-law, not holding back? What was going on? Didn't this brat hear what she just said?
*Crunch~*
Just then, a server entered the private room, holding a bottle of red wine. A pleasant voice announced, "Mr. Ye, this is a complimentary bottle of red wine from our Manager Xia. We hope you enjoy your meal."
"This... '82 Lafite, that's at least thirty to forty thousand!?" Su Xiaofan's eyes widened as he looked at the wine on the table. Having worked at Jiuzhongtian for so long, he knew what it was. Undoubtedly, this was their finest red wine, worth half his annual salary.
"Brother-in-law, you know... our Manager Xia?" Seeing the thirty to forty thousand dollar Lafite wine being given away so casually, Su Xiaofan, not foolish, asked suspiciously.
*Creak~*
At this moment, the private room door opened, and a middle-aged man entered. This was none other than Xia Minghai, the person in charge of Jiuzhongtian.
"Heh heh, Young Master Ye, long time no see!" As soon as they met, Xia Minghai greeted him warmly, having personally experienced Ye Xuan's capabilities and influence. "It's been a few months since we last met at the Jiuzhongtian auction, hasn't it?"
Hearing Xia Minghai's words, Su Xiaofan's mind reeled. His eyes widened. Is... is my brother-in-law, does he really know Manager Xia??? My God, who is my brother-in-law? Could it be... this Lafite was a gift from Manager Xia? Oh my, am I dreaming?
