Chapter 540: Chapter 543: Unafraid due to confidence_1

The next day.

As Yang Gang got out of bed and opened the door, Shen Jing was standing right outside his room.

"I’m sorry." Before Yang Gang could get a word in, Shen Jing, with her head bowed and her face full of worry, had already spoken.

Seeing Shen Jing’s pitiful look, Yang Gang couldn’t muster any anger.

He composed his emotions, smiled faintly, "No worries. I was just concerned you were being deceived."

He paused, then added, "And also, my attitude last night wasn’t great either, I didn’t scare you, did I?"

Shen Jing lifted her head, smiled quietly, and gently shook her head: "No."

Yang Gang sized up Shen Jing and smirked, "You look very pretty today."

Shen Jing’s cheeks turned red instantly, she stuttered, "Ah, I forgot my phone, I need to head back to my room."

Then she ran off.

After she rounded a corner, Shen Jing noticed two men hiding there and took a fright.

"Um, Xiaorou, thank you for the advice. Yang Gang seems to not be mad anymore." Once she was calm, Shen Jing spoke.

Gu Xiaorou smiled, "That guy is always helpless when a girl acts pitiful."

Shen Jing giggled, then added, "I left my phone in the room. I’ll go get it."

After Shen Jing left, Yang Fei glanced at Gu Xiaorou and said, "Xiaorou, aren’t you helping your rival?"

Gu Xiaorou laughed, "I’ve already given up on Gang, so there’s no such thing as helping a rival."

Yang Fei was stunned, "Why?"

"Um..." Gu Xiaorou pointed at her chin, her eyes looking at the ceiling, then she laughed, "Out with the old, in with the new?"

"Ah?" Yang Fei was stunned, "You fell in love with another man?"

Gu Xiaorou laughed, "Strictly speaking, I’m preparing to fall in love with another man."

Yang Fei pondered for a bit, then finally laughed, "Although I don’t understand your thinking, leaving that bastard Gang is obviously a wise choice. With the way that guy is, probably only Sister Miao can cure his flirtatious behavior. But it’s a shame that Sister Miao is getting married."

"Speaking of which, how Gang’s ring fits perfectly on Sister Miao’s finger is truly an unimaginable coincidence." Gu Xiaorou added.

Yang Fei sneered, "Xiaorou, are you still bothered about that ring? I’m sure that Gang was fooling you guys! I’ve never heard of our family having any heirloom rings."

Gu Xiaorou twitched her lips but didn’t say anything.

Upon arriving at the dining hall, Zhang Miao was fastening her apron and placing breakfast on the table.

Gu Xiaorou and the others felt quite embarrassed, "Sister Miao, you’re pregnant, and still taking care of all the household chores. We really feel sorry."

Zhang Miao wiped her sweat, "I’m just over two months pregnant, and my belly isn’t even showing yet. If I can’t even handle these tasks, wouldn’t that be too pampered?"

She paused, then added, "Once you all finish washing up, come and eat."

"Where is Sister Xiaoxi?" Gu Xiaorou noticed Su Xiaoxi was missing and asked.

"Uh, Li Qing called her away early in the morning." Zhang Miao replied.

"Has something happened?" Yang Gang asked worriedly.

Zhang Miao pondered for a while, and then spoke, "It seems that last night, the Grey family’s fleet was ambushed off Crow Feather Island, 300 miles to the northeast. Eight surface ships and two submarines, all destroyed."

"The Grey family?" Yang Gang looked at Gu Xiaorou, then continued, "You don’t mean the North American Grey family, one of the three major powers in Bounty World?"

Zhang Miao nodded.

Yang Gang smirked, "Good riddance, we must have an extra meal to celebrate today!"

Zhang Miao rolled her eyes, "Do you have a grudge against the Grey family? Your face is beaming with joy."

"Not really." Yang Gang said, taking a big bite of the freshly baked egg tart, while involuntarily chuckling.

"The way your laughing is so creepy." Yang Fei felt goosebumps.

Gu Xiaorou was stunned for a moment before lowering her head to start eating breakfast, making no comments from start to finish.

"Oh, by the way, Sister Miao, who took down the Grey family’s fleet? Eight surface ships and two submarines, it’s a pretty formidable naval configuration. Could it have been the navy of a certain country?" Yang Fei curiously inquired.

"Uh, it is said to be Xiao Shenwei." Zhang Miao paused before adding, "Oh, and the media has been ordered to suppress this news. You guys should also be careful not to leak this matter to others."

Hiss~

Everyone drew in a sharp breath.

Xiao Shenwei was truly lawless.

Even though the overall strength of the Grey family is inferior to the Xiao family, they’re still one of the three major powers. And Xiao Shenwei’s branch is but one of many in the vast Xiao family tree, and their overall strength is certainly inferior to the Greys’.

If the Xiao Family’s Elders Association chose to appease the Grey family’s fury by expelling Xiao Shenwei’s lineage from the Xiao family,

The end of Shenwei may be near.

"It is said that the Xiao Family Elders will hold an emergency meeting on Crow Feather Island. Nearly all 18 Elders of the Xiao family as well as the heads of various branches have already arrived on Crow Feather Island." Zhang Miao informed further.

Yang Fei blinked her eyes, saying, "In other words, Demon Shenwei also came to Crow Feather Island, right?"

Zhang Miao nodded in confirmation.

Clink!

At the moment when everyone’s attention was focused on Zhang Miao’s words, the chopsticks in Shen Jing’s hand dropped to the floor with a ’clink’.

All of the gazes immediately converged towards Shen Jing.

"Uh, Shen Jing, are you okay? You look a bit pale." Gu Xiaorou asked.

Shen Jing bend down to pick up the chopsticks and with a flicker in her eyes, she said, "N..no, I’m fine."

"You’re really not good at lying." Yang Fei paused before adding, "Shen Jing, if there’s anything, just tell us. We’re all good sisters now, so don’t be so reserved."

"Nothing, really. I just suddenly feel that the world isn’t as peaceful as it appears to be." Shen Jing finished speaking and lowering her head, she began to drink porridge.

Yang Fei nodded affirmatively: "Indeed. Take Hangcheng for example. It looks so calm on the surface, but there’s always a sense of unsettling tension."

Gu Xiaorou chuckled, "No matter what the future holds, as long as we live well, that’s enough."

"Xiaorou is correct. Let them do their own things, and we live our lives." Zhang Miao paused and laughed, "Oh, right, Xiaorou, you just go see your father later. The bodyguards arranged by your elder brother disappeared collectively after Shenwei attacked the Grey family’s fleet. I think they’ve also left Crow Feather Island. Nobody will stop you."

Upon saying this, she looked at Yang Fei and continued, "Feifei, will you accompany Xiaorou?"

"Mm," Yang Fei nodded.

"Then I will accompany Sister Miao to see Doctor Lucas? With the Xiao Family’s urgent meeting at Crow Feather Island, Haotian, being the head of the family and landlord, might not have the time to accompany you." Yang Gang chimed in.

Zhang Miao chuckled fleetingly, "No need, you just protect Shen Jing. Out of all of us, only Shen Jing and Yang Fei are normal people. Yang Fei is accompanied by Xiaorou, so Shen Jing will be left to you."

"But.."

At this point, Shen Jing suddenly said, "What if...I accompany Yang Gang to accompany you?"

"Uh.." Zhang Miao hesitated briefly, then nodded her head, "Alright then."

After that, the five divided into two groups and left the villa.

Upon meeting the legendary Doctor Lucas, the man in his sixties kept gazing at Zhang Miao with lusty eyes.

Yang Gang was very annoyed inside him. What divine healer? He was clearly a lewd doctor!

"Um, Doctor Lucas, I’m Zhang Miao. I had previously made an appointment with you. There may be a problem with the development of my baby and I was hoping that you could take a look." Zhang Miao calmly explained.

"Oh, you’re that pregnant girlfriend of the Xiao kid. I see." Even after knowing Zhang Miao’s identity, Lucas’s lustful eyes didn’t show a trace of reservation; he was rather fearless.

Lucas glanced at Yang Gang and Shen Jing behind Zhang Miao, put on a cold expression and arrogantly said, "You two, step out. I need to conduct an examination on the patient."
