219: Chapter 219 Like a Little Housewife 219: Chapter 219 Like a Little Housewife Ye Jiuqing really didn’t take him seriously at all.
Seeing Jiang Yan standing motionless, he added another sentence: “Move aside, you’re blocking my way.”
Jiang Yan slightly narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone: “As long as you can beat me, I’ll let you in!”
Ye Jiuqing frowned, his deep blue eyes filled with excitement.
“Fine, I’ll give you a fight!”
“…”
When Su He came out after changing clothes, the outside was unusually quiet.
Moreover, there was no sign of Jiang Yan in the room.
She walked to the door with confusion and opened it.
Fei Xu was standing guard outside.
She greeted Su He with a call of “Young Madam.”
Su He asked Fei Xu: “Where is he?
Who came by just now?”
After hearing the question, Fei Xu seemed hesitant to speak.
Su He’s eyebrows knitted together, “What happened?”
Fei Xu swallowed and said: “Young Madam, Master and Mr.
Ye went to the boxing gym on the third floor of the hotel to fight.”
Su He was stunned: “What?
Fight?”
Fei Xu nodded and made an “Mhm” sound.
By the time Su He got down to the third floor, quite a crowd had gathered, along with sounds of fighting.
Gu Beiyan and some others were sitting in prime seats to watch.
He even waved to Su He: “Sister-in-law, come, sit here.”
Su He’s gaze swept over him, finally landing on the two people in the ring.
Jiang Yan wore a black T-shirt, and Ye Jiuqing wore a white shirt, one black and one white, strikingly conspicuous.
Both of them were very agile, striking out rapidly.
Soon, Ye Jiuqing’s right cheek took a punch.
“Fuck!”
He swore angrily.
“What the hell are you doing, hitting my face?
If you break it, will you fucking pay for it!?”
The scene was very quiet, other than the sound of their fighting, almost everyone held their breath to watch.
So, Ye Jiuqing’s words were clearly heard by everyone present.
Su He didn’t want to listen: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Jiang Yan stood tall, not wasting words, and directly aimed a kick at his left cheek, which Ye Jiuqing quickly blocked with his arm.
Otherwise, his left cheek would have taken the hit.
Jiang Yan’s attacks were fierce, too much for most people to handle, luckily Ye Jiuqing was also well-trained.
The two exchanged blows, and even though Jiang Yan seemed to have the upper hand for now, he took several punches, one hitting the right cheek, and the rest landing on his body.
Ye Jiuqing, on the other hand, was hit on both cheeks, very symmetrically.
“…”
About an hour later.
Ye Jiuqing’s stamina had obviously dropped, while Jiang Yan looked as if nothing had happened.
Half an hour later.
Due to the massive exhaustion, Ye Jiuqing couldn’t dodge in time; Jiang Yan’s kick landed on his knee pit, and Ye Jiuqing instantly knelt on one knee.
“Damn it!”
Just as he knelt down, Jiang Yan’s clenched fist swung towards his forehead.
At that moment, Su He’s voice rang out: “Stop!”
And it was because of these two words that Jiang Yan’s fist stalled, stopping a mere finger’s breadth from Ye Jiuqing’s forehead.
Both of them turned to look at Su He standing below the stage.
Su He glanced at Ye Jiuqing and then at Jiang Yan, saying: “Had enough?
If you’ve had enough, come back with me.
If not, you can fight until dawn.
Unless I say stop, no one’s allowed to leave the ring!”
Everyone present dared not even breathe loudly.
Jiang Feng, Fei Xu, and others looked at her icy expression, feeling somewhat afraid.
Jiang Yan withdrew his fist, straightened up, looked down at Ye Jiuqing and said: “You lost.”
Ye Jiuqing was reluctant to admit defeat and wanted to continue fighting, but Su He’s gaze was so intimidating that he dared not make a move.
After Jiang Yan spoke, he jumped off the ring and walked towards Su He.
Su He glanced at him and then turned to leave.
The man pursed his lips slightly and obediently followed her.
Gu Beiyan watched Jiang Yan’s retreating figure and commented: “Hey, Wan Muqi, don’t you think Ah Yan is like a little wife who has done something wrong, following behind the sister-in-law?”
Wan Muqi glanced and nodded: “Yeah, does seem like it.”
Gu Beiyan sighed: “Seems like, when marrying a wife in the future, one shouldn’t marry someone too capable.
It’s better to marry a kind and gentle girl.”
Wan Muqi glanced at him and snorted with laughter: “It’s already good if someone doesn’t despise you, an old man, and you still want to be picky.”
After saying that, he got up and left as well.
Gu Beiyan was stunned for a moment before reacting.
He quickly got up to follow: “Wait, Wan Muqi, what do you mean by that?
How did I become an old man?
Why can’t I be picky?
Don’t go, you need to clarify this for me…”
“…”
Everyone left, leaving only Ye Jiuqing and Ah Gui behind.
Ah Gui, seeing his master lying on the ring, hurriedly approached the edge of the ring, carefully calling out: “Young Master Jiuqing, are you alright?
Do you need me to call an ambulance for you?”
Ye Jiuqing: “…”
He turned his head and glared at him, grinding his teeth: “Do I look like someone who needs an ambulance?”
Ah Gui, after being glared at, hurriedly shook his head.
Then he added: “Then I’ll go get some ice for you, to apply to the bruises on your face.”
Speaking of the injuries on his face, only then did Ye Jiuqing start to feel the pain.
He pulled at the corner of his mouth, a tearing pain sweeping over him.
That bastard Jiang Yan, of all places, he had to hit his face.
He did it on purpose!
Top-floor VIP suite.
After entering, Su He sat down on the sofa.
Jiang Yan was about to sit with her when Su He, with a cold face, said: “You’re all sweaty and stinky, don’t sit, go take a shower.”
Jiang Yan immediately obediently turned and entered the bathroom.
Su He sighed helplessly after looking at the bathroom door that remained open.
Soon after, the doorbell rang.
She got up to answer it.
Jiang Feng was standing at the door, holding a bag from a pharmacy.
“Young Madam, I’ve bought the medicine.
Another set, I asked Fei Xu to deliver it to Young Master Ye,” said Jiang Feng.
Su He reached out to take it: “Alright, thank you for your efforts.
Go get some rest early, no need to stay here.”
Jiang Feng: “Yes, Young Madam.”
Su He closed the door and walked back to the living room.
She had just sat down for a while when the man came out of the bathroom.
He had a white towel wrapped around his waist, revealing his muscular upper body, with attractively defined muscles.
And his captivating abs, which she could never tire of watching, tempted one to commit a crime.
But at the moment, the bruises on his body were more eye-catching.
Su He lifted her chin slightly, signaling him to sit down.
The man obediently sat down.
“Are you angry?”
Jiang Yan looked at her, carefully asking.
He deliberately lowered his voice, deep and magnetic yet gentle, at this moment he was like a tamed little puppy.
Su He glanced at him with annoyance, “No, why should I be angry?
It’s not me who’s in pain!”
Jiang Yan: “…”
Su He took a bottle of medicinal liquor, deftly opened it, and then said in a deep voice, “Bear with it!”
Because these bruises need to be rubbed forcefully to break them down.
As she was rubbing, Su He noticed that his body temperature was rising.
“…”
She glanced inadvertently…
When she looked up at him, he was looking at her with an innocent expression.
“I can’t be blamed for this, it’s a natural reaction.”
As soon as his words fell, Su He increased the force of her hand on his abdomen.
The man winced in pain, “Are you trying to murder your own husband?”
“You won’t die, just trying to make you come to your senses.”
After rubbing forcefully a few times, she then said, “Turn over, lie down.”
Jiang Yan could only endure it, since he was the one who had pampered his wife.
He had a bruise on his lower back as well, Su He poured the medicinal liquor in her palm, warmed it by rubbing then pressed it on.
Her force was neither too light nor too heavy, just right.
“I’m telling you, you’re not a child anymore, why are you so impulsive, so reckless to go fight with Ye Jiuqing?” she muttered.
In her memory, he was not an impulsive person.
Jiang Yan said, “Isn’t this just your style?
Better to act than to talk.”
Su He was momentarily speechless: “…”
“So, are you blaming me now?”
“That’s not it, I just want to tell you that I am that kind of person too.”
“…”
Su He stopped talking to him, finished applying the medicinal liquor, and stood up to wash her hands.
By the time she came back out, the man had already dressed.
The phone on Su He’s desk also rang, it was from Lan Yan.
After Su He answered, Lan Yan on the other end said, “Boss, Ms.
Xuan’s examination results are all out, all her vital signs are normal, without any problems.”
“Moreover, no traces of any drug residues were found in Ms.
Xuan’s body or blood.”
Upon hearing this, Su He’s eyes narrowed slightly.
If drugs had been injected, even with antidotes, they couldn’t possibly have been detoxified that quickly with no residue left; if there are none, it could only mean Xiaxia was not injected with the drug Si Jinchuan mentioned.
She thought of the look in Si Jinchuan’s eyes when he spoke, but she didn’t say much more, “Alright, I got it, thanks for your hard work.”
“By the way, boss, there’s one more thing,” Lan Yan said.
“Didn’t you ask me to look into Miss Luo buying banned drugs?
I tracked it today, and it was an old servant of the Bai Family who bought it for her on the black market.
That servant goes there about once every half a month, and then finds an excuse to visit Miss Luo at her villa.”
Su He asked, “When was it purchased, roughly?”
Lan Yan replied, “Four years ago, according to the date calculations, just after the third month you married Master.”
Su He was slightly surprised, so early?
Indeed, it was beyond her expectations.
Xi Jue really was blind; to not even notice what was happening right under his nose.
After hanging up the phone, Su He looked at Jiang Yan next to her, and sincerely asked, “I’m really curious, with Xi Jue’s brains, how could he be your opponent?”
Jiang Yan: “… Do you think I have low intelligence too?”
Su He: “I never said that.”
“I have a question that I’m quite curious about,” she suddenly said, changing the topic.
Jiang Yan stretched out his long arm, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her onto his lap to sit.
“You ask, and if I know, I’ll answer.
If I don’t, I’ll have Jiang Feng look it up for you.”
“Why didn’t the Bai Family bring Bai Luo back to the Bai Family?” she asked.
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment before speaking, “To be honest, I’m not quite clear on this matter myself, but I can make a guess.”
“Oh?” Su He raised an eyebrow and said, “Then tell me.”
“Bai Zhanguo’s current wife isn’t Bai Luo’s biological mother.
She is his second wife whom he married after the death of her mother.
Bai Zhanguo has always cherished his eldest daughter.
Even after marrying the second wife and having children with her, he still adored Bai Luo, which naturally incurred the jealousy of his current wife.
The rest, I suppose, you can guess.”
Jiang Yan told her all that he knew.
After hearing this, Su He nodded in understanding.
Isn’t this just the typical drama of power struggle within a wealthy family?
She wondered, “If Bai Zhanguo adores his daughter so much, it can’t be that just because of Mrs.
Bai’s obstruction, he wouldn’t bring the daughter he adores back home, right?”
Jiang Yan looked at her tenderly, his slender fingers playing with the strands of hair by her cheek and tucking them behind her ear.
Following that, his fingertips intentionally or unintentionally, gently caressed her earlobe.
One of Su He’s sensitive spots.
“Stop it!”
She shrank her neck and brushed his hand away, “You haven’t answered my question yet.”
Jiang Yan held her in a partial embrace and said, “Because after Bai Luo had her incident, Bai Zhanguo had an incident too.”
“Ah?”
Subsequently, she wrinkled her brow and said, “What happened?
Can you not do this—answering only when I ask?
Why can’t you just tell me everything at once?”
“A stroke led to paralysis of the lower body.
However, Bai Zhanguo is still the largest shareholder of the Bai Group.
Currently, the Bai Family is managed by Bai Zhanguo’s own younger brother, Bai Zhanxun.
Since the young master of the Bai Family is still a child, it’s Bai Zhanxun who temporarily takes this position.”
“And currently, it’s Mrs.
Bai who calls the shots in the Bai Family because she bore a son for the family.
Although the child is still young, he’s destined to be the heir of the Bai Family.
Most of the Bai Family elders are biased towards the son born to Mrs.
Bai.
Since Bai Zhanguo became paralyzed, naturally, he lost the influence he used to have to care for this daughter.
As long as Mrs.
Bai whispers in the elders’ ears, naturally, nobody cares for the child born to the first wife anymore.
Chances are, Bai Zhanguo himself doesn’t know that his daughter has been thrown to Xi Jue’s place by Mrs.
Bai.”
Jiang Yan finally finished in one go, but Su He gazed at him deeply, squinting her eyes slightly, “Seems like you know quite a lot about the Bai Family.
If you weren’t close, you probably wouldn’t be so well-informed, right?”
Jiang Yan, listening to her sarcastic tone, was both helpless and amused.
He tugged at his thin lips, his calm tone imbued with a hint of teasing playfulness, “I remember Mrs.
Jiang just said not long ago that she has broad horizons and disdains such groundless jealousy.
So, you’re jealous now?”
Su He immediately played dumb, “Really?
Did I say that?
Do you have evidence?
If there’s no evidence, don’t falsely accuse good people.”
The man was directly amused by her, leaning in close to her lips and quickly taking a light bite.
“I’m actually quite happy that Mrs.
Jiang can get jealous.”
“…”
Whilst the atmosphere here was somewhat ambiguous, things in another VIP suite were a bit…
Ye Jiuqing had taken off his shirt and was lying on the back of the sofa, revealing his upper body’s pale but well-defined muscles.
His back displayed perfect muscular lines, both sturdy and powerful, enough to make one blush and heart race.
“Young Master Jiuqing, is this strength alright?”
Ah Gui carefully applied medicine while tentatively asking his master, fearful that using too much force might result in a thrashing.
Young Master Jiuqing had a peculiar habit—besides Ah Gui, no one else was allowed to touch his body.
In fact, only Ah Gui knew that this wasn’t so much a strange habit, because besides him, Miss Su He and Ella had also touched him, as they were tending to his wounds.
“Are you sure this medicinal alcohol was really sent over by her?” Young Master Jiuqing asked once more out of the blue.
Ah Gui had heard this question no fewer than three times.
Ah Gui, vigorously wiping, responded, “Yes, Young Master Jiuqing, Miss Lan Yan personally delivered it, and she made a specific point of mentioning that it was Miss Su He who asked her to buy it.”
Young Master Jiuqing said, “Then apply more of it.”
Ah Gui: “…”
Can this stuff even be used like that?
