A beautiful summer night

Midway through the journey, Xia Wanzhi was taken by Zhu Zi to see a doctor. When she returned, she was still on an IV drip. Jiang Baichuan was still in the ward. Upon seeing this, he went up and took the IV drip from Zhu Zi's hand.

Yunli got off the bed, insisting on giving the hospital bed to Xia Wanzhi. Remembering that she had been a bit harsh on Jiang Baichuan earlier, she coughed lightly, feeling guilty, and said, "You arranged this hospital room at a good time."

The wound on her head wasn't serious, but Jiang Baichuan kept saying he was worried she might have a concussion, so he forced her to stay in the hospital for half a day to rest and be observed.

Jiang Baichuan smiled broadly: "As long as the boss lady is satisfied."

Yunli glanced at him with a complicated expression, unsure of what to say, then looked away and sat down with Zhu Zi on either side of Xia Wanzhi.

"What did the doctor say?" Yun Li touched Xia Wanzhi's still pale face.

Bamboo looked melancholy: "I have a slight fever. I was prescribed medicine for three days. I estimate it won't be better for at least a month."

Hearing this, Xia Wanzhi opened her eyes and said with amusement, "Are you cursing me?"

Having been by her side for a long time, Zhu Zi knew her health all too well and retorted, "I'm just telling the truth. You should take good care of yourself these next few days. I'll help you move the things you haven't finished."

Yunli chimed in, "I'll go too."

"I also……"

Before Jiang Baichuan could finish speaking, Yun Li glared at him, silencing him.

“I meant Xie Qiyan is going too,” Jiang Baichuan changed the subject.

"What did he go to do?" Xia Wanzhi's voice was very soft. In the past, she would mention Xie Qiyan with a lot of resentment, but perhaps because of today's incident, her attitude towards him had unconsciously changed.

“I bumped into Yunli on her way to help you move. I called Xie Qiyan to help, but you haven’t finished moving your things and he hasn’t fulfilled my request to him. Do you think he should go?” Jiang Baichuan explained methodically.

Xia Wanzhi couldn't think of a reason to refute it for a moment.

Yunli rubbed her still-aching head and said resentfully, "If you hadn't hit me, and I had gone to pick up Wanzi on time, Wanzi wouldn't have been..."

She abruptly stopped speaking, her anger flaring up instantly, and she lashed out at Jiang Baichuan: "What's your name, Yunli? Do I know you that well?"

Jiang Baichuan: "..."

To make amends for his mistake, Jiang Baichuan knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he promised Xia Wanzhi as he left, "We'll handle Zhou Yu."

Xia Wanzhi looked at him, her face full of confusion.

“Your brothers will stand up for you,” Jiang Baichuan said as he backed away.

The three people inside the room were completely bewildered.

Bamboo asked in confusion, "Brothers?"

Yunli raised an eyebrow slightly: "Brothers."

Xia Wanzhi: "..."

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Baichuan saw the familiar license plate number, walked over, opened the car door, and got in. He had already told Xie Qiyan what had happened on WeChat, and his serious expression was no less than Xie Qiyan's.

"Your Xia family's younger sister is being bullied, are you going to do anything about it or not?"

Xie Qiyan's hands rested on the steering wheel, his knuckles tapping rhythmically. His face was sullen, and his emotions were unreadable.

"How is she?" Xie Qiyan asked as he started the car.

Jiang Baichuan crossed his arms: "Who? Your Xia family sister?"

Xie Qiyan glanced at him briefly from the side.

Jiang Baichuan scoffed, "What do you think?"

After humming, he sighed, "Our family and the Lu family both live in the Weishui compound. Our relationship is naturally not as deep as your two families, but it's not like we've never met. You've been abroad for so long, you probably don't know her well. This girl has been in poor health since she was little. I just heard from her assistant that she usually has a fever or cold that lasts for at least a month. Now, with your bastard cousin doing this to her, she's really scared."

Speaking of this, he became indignant: "You know what, I really want to beat that bastard Zhou Yu up right now. You didn't see how wronged your Xia family sister is..."

"Then let's beat them up." Xie Qiyan turned the steering wheel and started driving onto the elevated road, his slow speed suddenly increasing.

Jiang Baichuan shut his mouth and turned his head, trying to see through Xie Qiyan.

ho.

This is something I've never seen before.

Angry.

"I knew you were special to Xia's sister. Back then, your grandfather really wanted her to marry into your Xie family, but Zhou Yu snatched her away." Jiang Baichuan said quietly, unable to resist teasing when the topic came up. "If it weren't for the Xie family's interest in her, I might have had a chance to marry Xia's sister."

After all, his family had been worrying about his marriage for a long time.

"Shut up." Xie Qiyan's expression changed slightly.

The old man wanted Xia Wanzhi to be his granddaughter-in-law but refused to marry, but there were three men in the Xie family this generation.

Who she will marry is still unknown.

However, there is a hierarchy of seniority. In Jiang Baichuan's view, if there is such a possibility, then Xia Wanzhi must marry Xie Qiyan.

Jiang Baichuan snorted: "Can't I even speak?"

"Noisy." Xie Qiyan stepped on the brake and, while waiting at a red light, rested one hand on the window and fidgeted, clearly starting to get impatient.

Jiang Baichuan smiled but didn't say anything, watching him drive towards the Zhou family villa area, he understood.

The car drove into the villa area and stopped in front of the Zhou family's gate. Jiang Baichuan put away his playful expression and got out of the car with a straight face.

He's here today to seek justice for someone.

Perhaps someone reported it, because soon the Zhou family's lady hurriedly came out to greet them.

Jiang Baichuan rolled up his shirt sleeves and then struck up a conversation with Xie Qiyan beside him: "I remember, the Zhou family only managed to gain a foothold after they climbed up to the Xia family?"

Zhou Yu's mother was a daughter of the Xie family who had married out. Naturally, her brothers would not allow her to take anything from the Xie family. Therefore, the Zhou family has been able to maintain its current status over the years by cultivating relationships with people from all over the world.

After Xie Qiyan took over the Xie family, he reorganized the Xie family from top to bottom, inside and out. The Zhou family no longer dared to act arrogantly in front of Xie Qiyan. Moreover, the Xia family went bankrupt. These changes were a series of blows to the Zhou family.

Jiang Baichuan had witnessed Zhou Yu's sycophantic behavior at the banquet last time.

This family is no benevolent bunch.

"Why is Ah Yan here? You didn't even tell your aunt beforehand." Zhou's mother greeted him with a smile, and upon seeing Jiang Baichuan, she feigned surprise, "What brings Mr. Jiang here?"

The Jiang family has no mistress, so Zhou's mother has no way to marry into the family. It's a pity she didn't give birth to a daughter.

It should be noted that among the four major families in Beicheng, the other three families all had outstanding sons.

However, this generation of the Xie family produced only disappointing offspring. The once-prosperous Xie family was ultimately taken over by an illegitimate son.

A cold glint flashed in Xie Qiyan's eyes as he looked down at Zhou's mother, showing her no respect whatsoever as an elder.

Hearing her address him by that name, his eyes darkened, and he coldly asked, "Where is Zhou Yu?"

The smile on Zhou's mother's face froze instantly: "Upstairs..."

In the afternoon, after Xia Wanzhi left, Zhou Yu seemed to have been traumatized and shut the door, not letting anyone get close.

A bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart. Seeing Xie Qiyan walk straight inside, Zhou's mother hurriedly followed, asking, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Baichuan followed beside her with one hand in his pocket, saying casually, "Don't worry, Auntie, we're just here to help my sister carry her luggage."

Zhou's mother was stunned, and murmured, "Sister..."

"Auntie, don't you know? That little princess of the Xia family is practically my sister." Jiang Baichuan smiled gently. "Please stop here. We can go upstairs and tidy up ourselves."

Jiang Baichuan was in a good mood as he quickly caught up with Xie Qiyan.

Xie Qiyan glanced at him: "So you're like a half-sister?"

Jiang Baichuan raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

"Half is your sister, and the other half is what?" Xie Qiyan chuckled lightly. "I've never seen you so eager before. What, your half-sister broke off the engagement, and you want to take her over?"

"Eating foreign food for over a decade really changes things; her words are like poison." Jiang Baichuan retorted. "Yun Li treats her like a younger sister, so isn't she my sister too?"

Xie Qiyan kindly reminded her, "Yun Li is not single."

Jiang Baichuan didn't take it seriously: "Then I'll just snatch it."

He could tell that Yunli didn't love the man named Liang Jing.

Yunli has no feelings for men, and this is an opportunity for her to break through.
