Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 64 Miss Qin

"Luo Qingli, I can’t believe you dared to bring this bumpkin here to the auction. Aren’t you afraid of disgracing the Luo Family?" Luo Linlin mocked mercilessly. "Is this a place for the likes of him?"

Xiao Han sneered, "Some people really think they’re part of high society just because they got lucky with some bullshit membership card, huh?"

Qin Zihao added sarcastically, "This is Young Master Jiang’s turf today. No one is going to show that hick any respect!"

Su Yingxue pursed her lips and smiled. "Luo Qingli, you’d better be careful today. Young Master Jiang specifically told us to take *good* care of you!"

"By the way, you’ve offended Young Master Jiang, and we’ve already pledged our allegiance to him. I’m afraid the Luo Family will have a new master very soon."

So that’s why these four have suddenly teamed up, Luo Qingli realized. They’ve all defected to Jiang Tianyi’s side.

"Don’t get ahead of yourselves. You might end up backing the wrong horse and find yourselves with no place to be buried," Luo Qingli retorted.

She knew that the Jiang Family’s aggressive entry into Yuncheng City had drawn a lot of resentment. It was still unclear who would come out on top. The Jiang Family was powerful, but the combined forces of Yuncheng City’s various factions were not to be underestimated. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"You’re overestimating yourselves! A bunch of nobodies thinks they can fight the Jiang Family?" Luo Linlin sneered. "Do you have any idea what a major clan from Jinling represents? With the slightest bit of their power, you, Luo Qingli, would be crying for your mommy and daddy!"

Xiao Han chimed in mockingly, "Forget it. There’s no point explaining it to them; they wouldn’t get it. To put it bluntly, they’re just a bunch of mongrels! How could they possibly understand the power of a major family from the provincial capital like ours?" His tone was condescending and dripping with arrogance.

Chen Xiao smiled. "You lot really are powerful. How about we call you the ’Eat Shit Squad’? Are you planning to settle your debt from Zhang’s Restaurant here today?"

That single remark made their faces flush crimson. They stammered and gaped, unable to utter a single word in response.

Luo Qingli also laughed. "The name Chen Xiao came up with is quite fitting. Why don’t you adopt it?"

"Keep running your mouth. Let’s see how long you can stay smug!" With dark expressions, the four of them cursed under their breath and stalked inside.

Watching them flee in disarray, Chen Xiao and his group leisurely made their way in. The two women chattered away excitedly beside him, and Chen Xiao was more than happy to enjoy the peace.

After they entered the hall and found a table, it wasn’t long before Zhang Yaqing, looking as dazzling as a princess in a haute couture gown, joined them.

"I hope no one minds if I sit here?"

Luo Qingli’s face turned livid, but she said nothing. Xu Yanran had no major issues with Zhang Yaqing and saw no reason to deliberately offend the Zhang Family. Chen Xiao, of course, had no objection. Since there was no tablecloth today, he wasn’t worried about Zhang Yaqing trying anything funny under the table.

With Zhang Yaqing’s arrival, the atmosphere at the table grew strangely tense. It only eased slightly when the formidable Lu Wushuang made her grand entrance.

As soon as Lu Wushuang appeared, the number of people coming over to offer toasts increased dramatically. After all, this legendary business queen, the foremost of the three tycoons, rarely made public appearances. Uncharacteristically, Lu Wushuang returned every toast, which left many people feeling incredibly flattered.

More people, however, shifted their curious gazes toward the utterly unremarkable Chen Xiao.

Lu Wushuang, Xu Yanran, Luo Qingli, Zhang Yaqing... which of them wasn’t a famous beauty of Yuncheng City? To put it bluntly, the suitors and admirers of these four women made up ninety percent of Yuncheng City’s high society! So what was an unremarkable guy like him doing at the same table as the city’s four great beauties?

"That guy is the Luo Family’s live-in son-in-law... Luo Qingli’s husband!"

"I heard he’s a kept man. Who knows how he latched onto the Zhang Family? Otherwise, how could a hick like him possibly get into an auction like this?"

"..."

Through the whispers of those in the know, the crowd gradually learned Chen Xiao’s identity, and their gazes filled with contempt. They had always looked down on men like that, who live off women. Aside from being a pretty boy, what other merits did he have?

"I heard Young Master Qin was practically engaged to Luo Qingli, but this guy swooped in and stole her away."

"Then shouldn’t Young Master Qin be making trouble for him?"

"Shh! Best not to mention that. I heard Young Master Qin was humiliated at Zhang’s Restaurant last time... he still hasn’t eaten what he was supposed to eat from that incident..."

"..."

The hushed gossip reached Qin Zihao, and his expression turned ugly. The strange looks from the surrounding crowd made his chest tighten with suppressed fury. He threw back a large gulp of red wine, his face darkening.

Su Yingxue quickly tried to soothe him. "Forget it, don’t lower yourself to their level!"

"When Young Master Jiang gets here, our backer will have arrived. They’ll be nothing but a pile of shit then."

Luo Linlin and Xiao Han felt the same. They had suffered greatly at Chen Xiao’s hands and wouldn’t be able to rest until they made him pay them back double for the humiliation!

"Have you guys heard?" Xiao Han suddenly said in a conspiratorial whisper. "I heard that another incredible figure will be appearing at this auction."

"Huh? Isn’t Young Master Jiang already a big shot?" the others asked, stunned.

Although Yuncheng City was prosperous, it was nothing compared to the provincial capital, Jinling. To them, Jiang Tianyi was already a god-like existence! They couldn’t even imagine anyone higher than him.

Hearing this, Xiao Han gave an affected smile. "The major families of Jinling are certainly formidable, and Young Master Jiang’s status is impressive, but they are a far cry from Zhonghai."

"I’m friendly with someone in Young Master Jiang’s circle, and I heard that this VIP is from Zhonghai. Even Young Master Jiang wants to win him over so they can pressure the major families of Yuncheng City together."

"Zhonghai..." the group murmured in awe.

If the person was really from Zhonghai, then it wasn’t surprising at all. After all, Zhonghai was the second-largest city in the Divine Land—the legendary ’Magic City’! One could only imagine the profound resources of a family that could dominate a place like that.

Soon, everyone’s attention was drawn to the entrance.

Jiang Tianyi walked in, flanked by a large entourage.

"Young Master Jiang!"

"Young Master Jiang—"

Along his path, numerous people stood up to greet him, bowing their heads respectfully.

Jiang Tianyi maintained his usual arrogant air, completely ignoring them as he strode forward with his head held high. His expression only changed slightly when a middle-aged man hurried to his side and whispered something in his ear. Afterward, he walked up to the high platform.

"I’m delighted to have you all here for today’s private auction. Shortly, the auction items from my Jiang Family’s private collection will be presented to everyone. For now, please, eat and drink to your heart’s content. Don’t stand on ceremony with me."

"Allow me to propose the first toast."

With that, he drained his glass. Then, he walked toward the VIP rooms above the auction floor. It was only when he reached a specific door that he reined in his arrogant demeanor and knocked respectfully.

"Miss Qin, this is Jiang Tianyi of the Jiang Family, requesting an audience. Is this a convenient time?"

Seven or eight seconds later, a cool female voice replied from within, "Come in."
