Chapter 147 Wrath
A sneer touched Bai Leitian's lips. As expected, these lower-tier families only needed a snap of his fingers and some trivial money and orders to have them flocking like rabid dogs.
Bai Leitian sat leisurely and said, "Liu Ran is married now, and having a husband makes things a bit difficult, so I'll have to trouble Grandmother to put in more effort."
Old Mrs. Liu chuckled heartily after hearing this. She said to Bai Leitian, "You have no idea, Liu Ran's current husband is nothing but a useless good-for-nothing, just a food delivery guy."
"Speaking of which, her husband was previously with Liu Xin. After being married to Liu Xin for a year, he gained nothing and was eventually kicked out of the house by my granddaughter Liu Xin. I never expected that guy to manage to trick Liu Ran with his sweet talk."
"They haven't been married for long, and I estimate they haven't even officially gotten together yet, perhaps they haven't even held hands!"
Bai Tianlei, standing nearby, swallowed hard with excitement. His guess was correct; there was no way Liu Ran and Chen Yang, that useless fellow, could have such a deep connection.
How could Chen Yang, a mere food delivery guy, have the good fortune to win Liu Ran's favor?
Old Mrs. Liu continued, "For this matter, the first step is to get Liu Ran's parents on board. That should be easy. Tomorrow, I'll take everyone to see my son and have him sign a divorce agreement, consenting to Liu Ran and Chen Yang's divorce."
"Once they both agree, you can express your feelings to Liu Ran. Liu Ran isn't exactly dull-witted; she definitely won't like a good-for-nothing like Chen Yang."
"After all, what woman doesn't want to marry a prince charming? When the time comes, as long as Young Master Bai sincerely proposes to Liu Ran, everything will be settled."
Bai Tianlei was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly nodded. He had initially thought Chen Yang and Liu Ran were inseparable. Now, it seemed they were merely a fleeting alliance, brought together by chance.
Back then, Liu Ran was disfigured and unwanted, while Chen Yang was homeless and struggling to make ends meet. Thus, two unfortunate souls found solace in each other, nothing more.
Now that Liu Ran's appearance had been restored, he believed she must surely look down upon the useless Chen Yang!
Bai Leitian and Old Mrs. Liu made their plans.
The next morning, Old Mrs. Liu, accompanied by a few family members, headed straight for the hospital.
Under the guise of visiting her third son, Liu Jianghu, for his leg injury.
Upon arriving at Liu Jianghu's ward, Old Mrs. Liu was momentarily stunned by its luxuriousness, a flicker of envy crossing her mind that her third son was occupying such a high-class, special ward.
Liu Jianghu and Cao Meihua were overjoyed to see the old lady arrive.
Old Mrs. Liu nodded at Liu Jianghu and said, "No need to be polite, just rest in bed. I've come today to check on your injury, and secondly, to give you some family shares and dividends, to welcome you back into the Liu family fold."
Hearing this, Liu Jianghu was so moved he burst into tears. He had thought he would never be able to return to the Liu family registry or receive his mother's affection again.
He never expected the old lady to personally visit today, offering to bring him back into the Liu family, promising him dividends and shares. Cao Meihua was even more overcome with emotion, weeping uncontrollably as she busied herself attending to Old Mrs. Liu and the others.
Old Mrs. Liu, however, was clear-headed. If Liu Ran were to become Bai Leitian's girlfriend, or even his lover, Liu Jianghu's status would soar, and the Liu family might even have to rely on him in the future.
Therefore, giving him some favor now was something Old Mrs. Liu was willing to do. More importantly, the share agreement contained an explicit condition: Liu Ran must divorce Chen Yang.
Old Mrs. Liu produced the share and dividend agreement. The dividend agreement had many clauses, but Old Mrs. Liu didn't let Liu Jianghu read them all. She flipped directly to the last page and said, "From now on, your family will receive one percent of the annual dividends and two percent of the shares. This is where you sign. Please sign here."
Liu Jianghu nodded continuously, choked with emotion, and said to Old Mrs. Liu, "Okay, okay, Mom, thank you, thank you."
After signing, Old Mrs. Liu glanced at it and nodded, saying, "Alright, take care of your injury."
Subsequently, Old Mrs. Liu sent a photo of this share and dividend agreement to Bai Leitian.
Upon receiving the photo, Bai Leitian was ecstatic. He had already selected an expensive bracelet, waiting to present it to Liu Ran that afternoon.
A confident smile spread across Bai Leitian's lips. He had failed to win Liu Ran over five years ago, letting her slip through his fingers. But today, he would not make the same mistake.
Surely, he was far more outstanding than someone like Chen Yang.
Since Liu Ran could accept Chen Yang, wasn't it a sure thing for a proud young master of the Bai family like himself to pursue Liu Ran once again?
Bai Leitian couldn't help but grin.
Chen Yang had been enjoying a happy period recently. After the events of Qingzhou University's centenary celebration, Chen Yang could clearly feel his wife becoming more mature, confident, and beautiful. Moreover, her affection for him had become more bold and open.
Chen Yang sat in Liu Ran's modest home, reclining in a chair and gazing at the scenery outside, savoring the rare quiet moments.
His wife had gone out for an inspection.
A smile once again flickered across Chen Yang's lips. It seemed that before long, he and Liu Ran would truly become husband and wife.
Just then, Chen Yang's phone rang. He picked it up and heard Zhu Que's voice on the other end.
Zhu Que said to Chen Yang, "Celestial Venerable, we've just detected Bai Leitian and Madam entering the same jewelry building together. This is unlikely to be a coincidence. Additionally, Bai Leitian brought people to the old Liu family residence last night. It seems Bai Leitian hasn't given up and still harbors impure thoughts about Madam."
Chen Yang frowned upon hearing this. He then stood up and said coldly, "Send me the location. How dare this Bai Leitian linger like a persistent ghost? If he dared to cause trouble after what he did to Liu Ran years ago, I can overlook it. But if he dares to act recklessly now, then don't blame us for being impolite."
A killing intent emanated from Chen Yang's words.
After leaving the Heavenly Physician Hall and living in seclusion in Qingzhou City for over a year, Chen Yang had grown accustomed to acting within the law and disliked resorting to violence.
However, if anyone dared to provoke Liu Ran or harm her, then the wrath of the Heavenly Physician Hall would be unbearable for any family.
Chen Yang requested the address and sped towards Phoenix Jewelry Mall on his electric scooter.
Meanwhile, inside Phoenix Jewelry Mall.
The operating mall suddenly had its main doors closed and the lights extinguished. Then, colorful neon lights illuminated around Liu Ran. A group of mall employees and some of Liu Ran's granddaughters surrounded her, holding flowers and cheering her congratulations.
"Liu Ran, we're so envious of you! You're already married, yet you've still caught the eye of the Bai family's young master."
"Today is the most important moment of your life, a time to change your destiny."
"Liu Ran, you are truly so fortunate. Oh my god, I'm so jealous of this woman! To have someone rent out an entire mall just for a proposal."
"If, in the future, my husband had even a tenth of Young Master Bai's romance, or one percent of his wealth, I would be so happy I'd faint."
