"I'm not like you, clearly having no feelings for him yet being able to utter those two words. Besides, aren't you the one who's attached to Zhou Yu? If you weren't, would you have gone to get the marriage certificate with him?"
Zhao Ruyue's words made Su Yuyan blush furiously.
The beautiful Su's earlobes turned burning red.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly.
Compared to Zhao Ruyue, Su Yuyan still lacked a bit of maturity.
"You two, shut up for me!" Zhou Yu shouted.
His roar immediately startled Su Yuyan into silence.
Zhao Ruyue also stopped talking.
"Miss Zhao, we've intruded today. We have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave."
Zhou Yu, seeing Su Yuyan lowering her head, took her hand and said to Zhao Ruyue.
Witnessing this, Zhao Ruyue felt a deep sense of unease.
She had seemingly won the argument with Su Yuyan.
In reality, she had lost utterly and completely.
Because Zhou Yu's attention had been solely on Su Yuyan from beginning to end.
"Mayor Wu has some urgent matters as well, and I need to return to the hospital."
Zhao Ruyue finished speaking and turned to leave.
She didn't want to stay any longer, watching the two hold hands.
Why was it that of all the people Zhou Yu was engaged to, he chose Su Yuyan?
This question echoed in Zhao Ruyue's mind.
...
After leaving the Fifth Hospital, Zhou Yu drove Su Yuyan in his Bentley to the entrance of the Su family mansion.
Su Qishan and his wife apparently hadn't returned yet, saving him a lot of talking.
"They're not back yet. Aren't you going to come in for a while?" Su Yuyan invited him, taking the initiative.
She didn't want to miss this rare moment of time alone together.
"No, I have some matters to attend to back home. You should get some rest."
If this wasn't the Su family's residence, Zhou Yu might have actually gone in.
When a girl invited him, how could he refuse?
Her invitation rejected, Su Yuyan pursed her lips and asked tentatively, "Zhou Yu, if I need your help with something, can you help me?"
"You just called me husband, so what can't you tell me? Just ask, and if I have the ability, I won't hesitate." Zhou Yu vowed, patting his chest.
He said this not out of their contractual relationship, but as friends.
Zhou Yu already considered Su Yuyan a friend.
A lover was out of the question.
After all, he had only known the woman before him for a few days at most.
On this point, Zhao Ruyue had guessed correctly.
"It's like this, my grandfather has been paralyzed for years. Our Su family has invited many renowned doctors, but they've come and gone, and we've spent a fortune, yet there's been no improvement whatsoever."
As she spoke, Su Yuyan's face was filled with sorrow.
Upon hearing this.
Zhou Yu asked curiously, "Did your Su family consult the Fifth Hospital?"
"Of course, but Zhao Ruyue couldn't cure Grandpa either," Su Yuyan said indignantly.
It was evident.
She disdained Zhao Ruyue, a top doctor, for being helpless against Old Master Su's illness.
"I can't guarantee that I can cure your grandfather, but I'm willing to try. However, it can't be tonight." Zhou Yu said.
"It's fine, it's fine. My grandfather isn't in any critical condition for now. After all, he's been like this for years."
Hearing Zhou Yu agree, Su Yuyan was ecstatic.
This trip tonight hadn't been in vain.
It was just a pity that she couldn't make Zhao Ruyue break off the engagement.
However, Su Yuyan secretly vowed that she would continue to work hard later.
She would strive to get Zhou Yu to annul the other six engagements as soon as possible.
Once that happened, there would only be... by his side.
Su Yuyan seemed to recall something very happy.
"Then wait for my news. I'll find an opportunity to diagnose your grandfather's condition."
Zhou Yu said, then drove away.
Su Yuyan watched the direction the Bentley disappeared in for a long time before turning back towards the outer courtyard of the Su residence.
...
Zhou Yu hadn't expected it.
As soon as he returned to the Yunlan Tiangong villa, he received a call from Fatty Qian.
"Little boss, did you encounter trouble at the Fifth Hospital in the city center?"
Fatty Qian on the other end of the phone seemed to be eating something.
He smacked his lips while talking on the phone, which was quite annoying.
"You found out pretty quickly, don't you?"
Zhou Yu parked the car and walked into the villa's courtyard.
He planned to change his clothes and then go for a swim in the pool.
"That old geezer surnamed Sun, calling himself a divine doctor, should I send someone to teach him a lesson, little boss?"
"If you send people, won't you break his old bones?"
"Don't! I have a sense of proportion."
"Oh really? I recall you biting off someone's ear when you were serving time in prison?"
"Old stories, should not be mentioned, should not be mentioned..."
Next.
Fatty Qian told Zhou Yu about what happened at the welcome banquet.
Since the Cold Snow War God and the Mayor of Yunhai City were absent from the banquet, it did not proceed very smoothly.
After the Zhang family produced a new member of the Dragon Group, they gradually became powerful, with many small families following their lead, even directly challenging the Jin family, the overlord of Yunhai City.
However, the Jin family didn't want to bother with those opportunistic small fry who often switched sides.
Thus, a disturbance broke out at the banquet.
The Zhang family and their group were not convinced and declared they would challenge the Jin family.
The Jin family initially ignored them.
But later, the most dazzling person of the Jin family generation – Jin Shenghuo – stepped forward.
Seeing someone from the Jin family finally willing to accept the challenge, Wang Tianlei of the Wang family clamored to be the first to go.
"Little boss, you have no idea how low-key the Jin family has been in Yunhai City all these years. If not for that, the Zhang family wouldn't have had a chance,"
Fatty Qian shared the intelligence he had obtained.
"Isn't the Jin family the number one family in Yunhai? How could they stand by and watch the Zhang family grow powerful? Or did the Jin family never consider suppressing the Zhang family?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.
The Jin family was very mysterious.
The entire family seemed shrouded in a mist, making them impossible to fathom.
Intelligence was gathered bit by bit from people of various strata.
But members of the Jin family rarely appeared in public.
Therefore, let alone the Zhao family.
Even Fatty Qian's subordinates couldn't gather more information.
"The Jin family sought no conflict with the world, and the Zhang family, after becoming a first-tier family, constantly provoked the Jin family. This welcome banquet was arguably the most intense ever. But the Jin family, who had never given an opportunity before, allowed Jin Shenghuo to accept the challenge today. Little boss, guess what the final outcome was?"
"Was Jin Shenghuo exhausted by the continuous attacks?"
"No! He swept away all those who dared to challenge him, beating them all to the ground! Oh, little boss, you should have seen it, the scene was utterly pathetic. Some people had their arms broken, and even if you had intervened, they probably wouldn't have been able to be reattached."
Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Jin family's unusual behavior must have a reason.
Could it be that woman?
Yun Yanlan!
It must be her.
