Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 464: Saving Money

Yang Li’s heart was filled with such rage that she wished she could tear Jiang Ying’s mouth apart, glaring at her fiercely.

"Brother, look how she’s glaring at me, it’s so scary!" Jiang Ying feigned fear, driving Yang Li to the brink of patience.

This little hoof knew exactly how to tattle!

"Don’t listen to her nonsense, big nephew, how could I possibly glare at her? We’re all family after all. What I just said was all in jest, big nephew, you mustn’t take it seriously," Yang Li gripped her dress tightly, visibly anxious.

She was terrified that he might take offense and have her husband detained even longer.

Not to mention Yisha, nothing could go wrong with her.

Xiao Chen hung his head as if he hadn’t heard a word she said, looking at Jiang Qiong with concern, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Qiong shook her head. She could handle it, but Yang Li’s words had indeed been hard to bear.

How much had Brother Chang and Xiao Chen contributed to the Xiao Family’s status? Without the two of them, the Xiao Family would never have been where it was today. These ingrates were hoping every day for Brother Chang not to wake up, for her son to die—it was truly hateful.

Xiao Chen didn’t speak but was enveloped in a chilling aura that made Yang Li shiver all over.

"You’ve just returned, big nephew, so I won’t disturb your reunion with your mother. I just remembered I have something to do and must leave now," Yang Li got up dejectedly, fearing that another second’s delay would cause Xiao Chen to tear her apart.

"Second aunt, take care now."

Yang Li’s spine stiffened, and her pace quickened—as if there were wolves chasing her.

The cold in Xiao Chen’s eyes faded, and he said in a gentle voice, "I’m sorry for worrying you."

"As long as you’re back safely," Jiang Qiong replied, her heart feeling lighter now that she saw he was unharmed.

She looked at his face with a bit of melancholy in her eyes.

"You resemble your father in some ways. It’s been a few months since I last saw him. Every time I ask Elder Fei, he says the progress is good, but he never says when he might wake up."

Jiang Ying knew that Yang Li’s words had indeed impacted her and offered comfort, "Auntie, uncle will definitely be fine. Elder Fei is so capable, he said he can cure him, he surely will."

"I hope so," Jiang Qiong clenched her fist, knowing Jiang Ying was trying to reassure her.

The assurances from Elder Fei obviously didn’t sound very confident. She had already been waiting for four or five years, but she was prepared to wait a lifetime if she had to.

Xiao Chen’s lips tightened slightly; he remained silent, perhaps considering a visit to the Medical Organization’s base.

"By the way, Elder Ji’s seventieth birthday is in a few days, and you must attend," Jiang Qiong instructed Xiao Chen.

Elder Ji had invited practically all of Beijing to his seventieth birthday celebration.

It was indeed a grand affair.

But having disappeared for nearly twenty years, it was only natural for him to throw a big celebration upon his return.

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, "I understand."

Jiang Ying spoke up, "Cousin, do you know where Sister Yue and Lin Xuanze went on vacation?"

In the past few days, calls to Sister Yue’s phone had been met with an off-switch message. She wasn’t at Shengting when she went looking, and after checking with her idol, he said not to worry, Sister Yue must have gone out to have fun.

But could her phone really be off the entire time she was out having fun?!

Later, she called Lin Xuanze, and his phone was reachable. He said they were out playing, and that reassured her.

But she didn’t tell her aunt to avoid worrying her.

Now that he had returned, she couldn’t help but ask.

Xiao Chen said indifferently, "I happened to run into them at the airport. She was tired from the fun, so I had Housekeeper Xiao send her back. I’ll bring her to see you tomorrow."

Jiang Qiong coughed, "I have school tomorrow. I’m fine."

It had been fortunate that Sister Yue went out to play; otherwise, she might have been as worried as her aunt about Xiao Chen’s life-threatening danger.

"Then I’ll come after school," Xiao Chen said as he stood up and headed upstairs.

Lin Xuanze and Feng Ye were rushed overnight from the North Wilderness to Beijing. Lin Xuanze returned to Shengting, while Feng Ye was admitted to the city hospital to recover, becoming neighbors with Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng was sleeping soundly when the noise around him woke him up. Frowning, he sat up and looked around.

"This is the VIP ward..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Jiang Qi and Zhai Quan entering with nurses and doctors, pushing in a patient.

"Who is this?" he asked with notable annoyance. The VIP ward was supposed to have only one bed—were these people going to let him sleep at all in the middle of the night?

Zhai Quan looked at Feng Ye, who was deeply unconscious, "Feng Ye, he had a narrow escape from death this time, more seriously injured than you. But he still had dumb luck; Miss Yun arrived just in time to save him. Now that he’s stabilized, we brought him here to share the room with you, to save money."

Xiao Feng’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, "...Save money?"

A VIP ward costs less than ten thousand a day. Can’t he afford that now?

And they need to save this money?

Zhai Quan felt a sourness in his heart, "Beiyang Base was attacked and suffered losses of several hundred billion, so you’re actually saving money for Master Chen, get it?"

Xiao Feng’s expression darkened, "So what were you doing behind my back? Where is Master Chen?"

In the time they’d disappeared this past week, such a big thing had happened, and he was the only one out of the loop, peacefully lying in the hospital bed.

Even now, Feng Ye was still on a ventilator, revealing the severity of his injuries, yet he knew nothing.

"Master Chen is fine, Xiao Feng, calm down. We didn’t tell you on purpose because your injuries haven’t even healed yet; telling you wouldn’t have helped anyway," Jiang Qi said, having never seen him lose his temper like this before.

Xiao Feng listened coldly without saying anything.

Obviously, he also knew that Jiang Qi was right.

"But thankfully little wife was there to help this time, otherwise Feng Ye would definitely be dead, and we wouldn’t have had such a smooth return," Zhai Quan sincerely thanked Yun Yue.

He accepted her as the little wife.

If Master Chen had chosen another woman as their sister-in-law, they wouldn’t have accepted her.

By the way, Xiao Feng, I’m going to tell you a huge secret that you surely don’t know," Jiang Qi couldn’t help showing off.

Sharing this news with the clueless Xiao Feng was sure to shock him.

Xiao Feng was just about to ask them what exactly had happened when Jiang Qi interrupted him, his expression suddenly frozen, "What huge secret?"

"I’m telling you, but you have to be mentally prepared," Jiang Qi said with a sneering smile.

Zhai Quan also focused on him.

Xiao Feng: "Go ahead, I’m mentally prepared."

"You’d never guess what Miss Yun’s identity and status in the Golden Net are!" Jiang Qi said with a smug look completely plastered on his face, but Xiao Feng’s response made both he and Zhai Quan’s smiles freeze in place.

"I guess Miss Yun is the big boss of Other Shore Flower in the Golden Net, right?" Xiao Feng spoke indifferently, his expression calm as he looked at the two as if they were fools.

"..."

The room went silent for a few seconds, their smiles stiffened.

"That’s impossible, how did you guess?" Jiang Qi stared at him. Master Chen might have guessed it, but could he really have guessed it too?!

He didn’t believe Feng Ye had the brains for that.

Xiao Feng spread his hands, his face a picture of helplessness, "I just know, okay?"

In truth, he was only guessing, but judging by their expressions, it seemed he had guessed correctly.

After all, he did know about another hidden identity of Miss Yun, which was far more shocking than that of Other Shore Flower.

It was no wonder he was so composed upon learning the news.
