Supreme Divine Physician in the City-Chapter 1347 - 1348: Time to Come Clean

Du Zhong felt utterly humiliated, and he even thought that bringing Du Xingming to the Xu Family was simply a mistake.

He ignored Du Xingming and turned around to leave.

At the moment he turned, Du Zhong’s expression had become terrifyingly grim, and a venomous look flashed in his eyes. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

After Du Zhong left, only Xu Shichang, Xu Lingyue, and Ye Xuan remained in the villa.

Xu Shichang looked at Ye Xuan, knowing in his heart that it was time to lay all the cards on the table.

"Bastard, how dare he, Xu Shichang, treat me with such neglect. Who does he think he is? If he thinks he can do without the help of the Du Family, fine, I’ll align with the three great families against him, and we’ll see if he’s still so arrogant when his family is ruined!"

On the way home, Du Family Head Du Zhong could no longer contain his anger, cursing all the way.

"That’s right, Grandpa. Not only should we ruin the Xu Family, but we must not spare that Ye Xuan either! He dared to belittle you like that; he must pay the price. If possible, it’s best to leave Xu Lingyue to me."

Hearing Du Zhong cursing the Xu Family, Du Xingming hurriedly chimed in from the side.

Hearing these words, Du Zhong couldn’t help but cast a glance at Du Xingming.

Seeing his swollen face, Du Zhong felt even more enraged.

Of course, he was not angry at the Xu Family, but at his grandson’s lack of tact.

If it weren’t for this foolish boy meddling, Xu Shichang might have agreed to his demands.

From Xu Shichang’s attitude, although this possibility wasn’t very high, what if?

After all, enjoying the war dividends of the Xu Family alone is better than sharing it equally with the three families, right?

That’s why he now found Du Xingming extremely displeasing.

Especially when he heard Du Xingming asking for Xu Lingyue, Du Zhong’s impression of this grandson hit rock bottom.

As the successor of the family, being so bewitched by a woman that he’s completely disoriented—what if, after he becomes the head of the Du Family, he also falls at a woman’s feet?

It seems he had misjudged this time. The successor of the family needs to be replaced with someone more reliable.

If Du Xingming knew that within moments of his words, he lost his future position as the head of the Du Family, would he be completely dumbfounded?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Du Zhong wished he could destroy the Xu Family right away, to make them realize the cost of neglecting him.

He directly took out his phone and dialed a number.

Very soon, the call was connected.

Du Zhong’s face revealed a hint of a sneer. He said, "Hello, is this Family Head He? I must say, you aren’t being fair. Since you’re going against the Xu Family, why leave out the Du Family? Don’t you know that the Du Family holds a grudge against the Xu Family?"

"What, you’re asking when did we have a grudge? Just now."

"Don’t worry, Family Head He, to deal with the Xu Family, the Du Family will definitely go all out! It would be best to destroy them as soon as possible. The Du Family has long found them displeasing."

"Alright, let’s settle it like this. The Du Family will soon send people to the He Family. I hope our cooperation this time will be smooth."

...

Hanging up the phone, Du Zhong had a cold smile on his face.

He pondered for a moment, then took out his phone again and dialed a number.

When the call connected, Du Zhong coldly said, "Family Head Xu, I want to inform you that from today, the Du Family has joined the alliance of the three families. You brought this upon yourself! I want to see how long your Xu Family can sustain under the siege of the four families. I hope you won’t regret today’s decision when your family is ruined."

After saying this, he immediately hung up the phone.

At the same time.

Xu Family, Xu Shichang’s Villa.

Xu Shichang expressionlessly hung up the phone, with no one knowing his thoughts now.

Since he hadn’t lowered the volume on his phone, Du Zhong’s words carrying threats and mockery were enough for the other two in the room to hear.

From Du Zhong’s words, everyone knew that the situation of the Xu Family was becoming increasingly dire.

Xu Lingyue lowered her head, full of guilt.

Her heart was filled with self-blame, thinking Xu Shichang had firmly rejected the Du Family for her future. Otherwise, if she married Du Xingming, the Du Family might have chosen to cooperate with the Xu Family, rather than oppose them.

If the Xu Family ultimately collapsed, Xu Lingyue feared she would never forgive herself and might even consider herself the sinner responsible for the downfall of the Xu Family.

The room plunged into a terrifying silence.

At this moment, Xu Renhai rushed into the villa, flustered.

Before Xu Shichang could speak, Xu Renhai said in a panic, "Father, something terrible has happened."

"What happened?" Xu Shichang asked with a deep voice.

Xu Renhai anxiously replied, "The Du Family has ordered that no one from the Xu Family is allowed to leave Haogang; our family is under house arrest."

The Du Family controls most of the cars, ships, and planes in Haogang. If they wish to prevent someone from leaving, it’s not a difficult task at all.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shichang’s expression subtly changed, and he murmured, "The Du Family acts quickly."

Seeing Xu Shichang murmuring to himself, Xu Renhai quickly asked, "Father, the Xu Family’s situation wasn’t good to begin with, and now with this happening, everyone’s in a state of panic. If this continues, I’m afraid the Xu Family will be destroyed by internal strife before those families even make their move against us."

Listening to Xu Renhai’s words, Xu Lingyue felt even more guilty.

Xu Shichang sighed and said to Xu Renhai, "You go and stabilize our people first. I’ll think of a plan."

Seeing his father speak this way, Xu Renhai could only leave the villa with a heavy expression.

Xu Shichang took a deep breath and then turned his gaze to Ye Xuan, who had an impassive expression.

He calmly said, "Mr. Ye, you have seen the Xu Family’s situation. I know Mr. Ye’s background is immeasurable, so as the head of the Xu Family, I request that Mr. Ye helps us. If Mr. Lin can save the Xu Family from this peril, we can offer fifty percent of our wealth to Mr. Ye. Moreover, if Mr. Ye does not mind my granddaughter Lingyue being a bit rough, she could stay by your side, even if just as a maidservant serving tea."

After saying this, before Ye Xuan could respond, Xu Lingyue’s face flushed red.

Though Xu Shichang treating her as a bargaining chip for Ye Xuan made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, the thought of being able to stay by Ye Xuan’s side filled Xu Lingyue with joy.

After so much time together, Ye Xuan had already taken a place in her heart; she only stayed silent due to her shyness.

Now that she could openly stay with Ye Xuan, what more could she ask for?

As for whether she would have an official title, does it matter to her?

Being by Ye Xuan’s side is far better than being a pawn in a marriage alliance, sent to some spoiled scion for the benefit of the family.

At least she wouldn’t have any regrets in her heart.
