Chapter 28 : Men Are All Scoundrels

In Linjiang City’s First People’s Hospital, Jiang Che arrived to see Ah Long in the special care ward.

“Master, you’re here…” Ah Long struggled to get up to greet Jiang Che.

“Relax, don’t strain yourself,” Jiang Che raised his hand, stopping Ah Long’s movement. “How are you feeling?”

“Nothing serious, the doctor said I can be discharged in two days,” Ah Long replied, grinning and touching his head awkwardly.

“Why did you fight him knowing you couldn’t win?” Jiang Che asked curiously.

“Even though I couldn’t win, I couldn’t let him disrupt your important moment with Shen Qingqiu,” Ah Long replied earnestly. Jiang Che and Shen Qingqiu were having dinner, and Ah Long didn’t want Ye Chen to interrupt them.

“Weren’t you afraid he’d kill you?” Jiang Che commented casually while smoking. “He’s not bound by ordinary societal rules. If you push him too hard, he might actually kill you.”

“I’m not afraid. Dying for you, Master, is an honor,” Ah Long replied without hesitation, his face showing determination.

Jiang Che didn’t say much but patted Ah Long’s shoulder and left the room. “Recover well, I still need you,” he said, not indulging in sentimental words, as it wasn’t his style. He knew that after today, he had gained a loyal subordinate.

“Take care, Master…” After Jiang Che left, Ah Long’s phone rang, notifying him of a transfer of 1,000,000 Yuan from Jiang Corporation.

“Master…”

Meanwhile, at Linjiang University, Ye Chen got out of a taxi and found a coffee shop named “Encounter with You.” He ordered a coffee and waited quietly for Lin Xiyan to finish her classes. About fifteen minutes later, his phone rang with a call from Lin Xiyan.

“I’m done with classes. Where are you?” Lin Xiyan’s sweet voice came through the phone.

“I’m at the ‘Encounter with You’ coffee shop. Please come over, Senior Sister.”

Several minutes later, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a plain white long dress appeared at the entrance of the coffee shop. She looked around and soon spotted Ye Chen.

“Senior Sister, you’ve arrived,” Ye Chen said, his face lighting up as he quickly stood to greet her. It was Lin Xiyan.

“When did you come down from the mountain?” Lin Xiyan asked, puzzled. They, the seven sisters, were usually busy with their own affairs and seldom kept in touch, so she was unaware of Ye Chen’s descent.

“I came down a couple of days ago,” Ye Chen replied.

“Is there something you need my help with?” Lin Xiyan asked, sipping her coffee and looking at him curiously.

She wondered why Ye Chen would suddenly think to seek her out instead of sticking around their Big Sister.

“I need a favor,” Ye Chen admitted with a wry smile. “Do you know anyone in your circle suffering from incurable diseases? I can use my medical skills to help them, of course, not for free.”

“Why don’t you ask our Big Sister? She has a wider network than me,” Lin Xiyan said, giving Ye Chen a strange look. Normally, he should be eager to impress their Big Sister.

“Ah… it’s a long story. Big Sister probably won’t help me now,” Ye Chen said, regretting his actions from the day before.

“Did you do something to upset Big Sister?” Lin Xiyan asked, curious about the situation.

Ye Chen then explained the events of the previous day to Lin Xiyan.

“What? Jiang Che is Big Sister’s fiancé!” Lin Xiyan exclaimed in shock. “Which Jiang Che?”

“The one from the Jiang family, I think. Why are you so surprised?” Ye Chen looked at Lin Xiyan, puzzled by her strong reaction.

“Jiang Che, that scumbag!” Lin Xiyan gritted her teeth in anger, disillusioned about Jiang Che whom she had previously thought to be decent.

She remembered Jiang Che’s past actions towards her. “Men are all the same,” she thought, angry at the idea of Jiang Che, who was already engaged, still flirting around.

“Do you know him, Senior Sister?” Ye Chen asked, surprised at Lin Xiyan’s unusual behavior, as she was always known for her graceful and refined demeanor.

Lin Xiyan quickly changed the subject, “Let’s not talk about that. Did you come to me just for this favor?”

Ye Chen was still curious but didn’t press further. He realized Lin Xiyan was genuinely upset about something involving Jiang Che.
