Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Assistance from an Honored One

"Qin Chuan, thank you!"

In the small garden, Xiao Mengyi was full of gratitude.

Then, with her brows tightly knit, she expressed her immense concern, "Long Family Steward is deeply trusted by my grandfather. Now that you’ve broken his hand, my grandfather certainly won’t let you off easily."

Qin Chuan frowned and asked, "Are you saying that, in your grandfather’s eyes, his own granddaughter is not as important as a steward?"

Xiao Mengyi’s face was filled with bitterness, and after a silence that lasted a while, she slowly said, "In the Xiao Family, I’m nothing but a sacrificial piece for the sake of interest exchange."

Seeing the disheartened woman in front of him, Qin Chuan felt a twinge of heartache.

"I underestimated the Xiao Family’s determination to form an alliance with the Chen Family through marriage."

Xiao Mengyi suddenly remembered something, and with an apologetic look, she raised her head and said, "Qin Chuan, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have dragged you into this."

"You were just my shield. I will clear things up with my grandfather."

Having said that, she took out a bank card, stuffed it into Qin Chuan’s hands, and urged with a look of earnestness, "This card contains all of my savings. Leave Jiangcheng City now."

"Long Family Steward is extremely sinister and ruthless. Now that you’ve broken his hand, he will not rest until he’s had his revenge. The only way to avoid it is to leave now."

Just now, she suddenly recalled an incident from a few years ago when one of her cousins’ boyfriends spoke out of turn to Long Family Steward during a family banquet. The next day, he died horrifically in a car crash on the street.

Many people knew it had something to do with Long Family Steward, but not a single person dared to speak out.

In the Xiao Family, Long Family Steward’s position was firmly rooted; besides Elder Xiao, he wouldn’t deign to give face to anybody else.

Looking at Xiao Mengyi’s anxious face, Qin Chuan asked, "If I leave, what will you do?"

Xiao Mengyi bit her red lip, her face a picture of reluctance. After a moment of silence, she said in despair, "Since I can’t change it, all I can do is to comply."

Qin Chuan’s eyes met hers as he said earnestly, "I’m not going anywhere. Since I’ve promised to help you, I will see it through to the end!"

Be it the Xiao Family or the Chen Family, as long as I’m here, no one will take you away!"

Qin Chuan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it rang with conviction. Each word seemed to pierce straight into the soul, causing Xiao Mengyi’s heart to thump wildly.

"But..."

Before Xiao Mengyi could finish, Qin Chuan continued, "There are no ’buts’. I’m only going to ask you one thing now, do you want to marry into the Chen Family?"

Xiao Mengyi immediately shook her head, "I’d rather die than marry into such a wealthy and debauched family!"

Qin Chuan said, "In that case, from now on, act as if nothing has happened. Pretend like Long Family Steward never came to take you home, and there’s no such thing as this marriage arrangement. You just need to continue with your routines and do what you want to do. Leave the rest to me."

Xiao Mengyi looked lost, could this man truly be her pillar of support?

Her eyes reddening, she said, "Long Family Steward will retaliate against you!"

Qin Chuan shook his head, "I’m not afraid!"

Xiao Mengyi added, "You might disregard Long Family Steward’s revenge, but what about the Chen Family, teeming with powerful individuals? If you intervene, the Chen Family won’t let you off either."

Qin Chuan still shook his head, "I’m not afraid!"

Looking at the man before her, exuding confidence, Xiao Mengyi’s hand gently rested on her stomach, her lips curving into a slight, beautiful smile, "Okay, I’ll listen to you!"

It was the first time Qin Chuan saw Xiao Mengyi smiling; he was momentarily stunned.

That smile was breathtakingly beautiful!

Twenty minutes later, Qin Chuan dropped Xiao Mengyi off downstairs at Tianmei Pharmaceuticals.

Before parting, Xiao Mengyi blushed and said, "Don’t tell my grandfather about what happened that night."

Qin Chuan was taken aback for a moment before understanding what Xiao Mengyi was referring to. He smiled and nodded. Such a private matter, he would certainly not tell Luo Changsheng.

After leaving Tianmei Pharmaceuticals, Qin Chuan was in a great mood. As for the retaliation from Long Family Steward and the Chen Family, he did not take it to heart at all.

They better not think about revenge, otherwise, they would be the ones to regret it!

Meanwhile, at the Song Family Residence.

"Xiao Yan, don’t be sad. It’s hard to find a frog with three legs, but men with two legs are everywhere. Qin Chuan’s rejection is his loss. I will introduce you to some young talents from the provincial city another day,"

Song Jie said, trying to console Xiao Yan, who was looking disheartened.

Xiao Yan said bitterly, "Brother, go mind your own business. I’m fine, really."

Song Jie looked skeptical. "Are you really okay?"

Xiao Yan nodded, and then her lips curled into a seductive smile. "The man I set my sights on will never escape my clutches!"

"Ah!"

Song Jie was dumbfounded for a moment. From what Xiao Yan said, did she still want to marry Qin Chuan?

"Boom!"

Just then, a loud bang erupted from Song Qingshan’s room.

Only then was Song Jie jolted out of his shock. He saw dust billowing from Song Qingshan’s room and his face instantly turned pale; he yelled "Grandfather" and rushed over.

The people of the Song Family were also stunned by the sudden noise and hurried over.

"Hahaha..."

Song Jie had just arrived when he heard a hearty laughter coming from the room.

The next second, he saw Song Qingshan emerge from the room, excitedly laughing. "I never expected that I, Song Qingshan, would have another day to make a breakthrough!"

He had been confined to a wheelchair for a full fifteen years, and even after Qin Chuan had healed his legs, he had never imagined there would be a day when his martial path realm could be improved.

"Grandfather, is... is it really you?"

Song Jie looked at Song Qingshan’s face, which had become at least ten years younger, and was completely shocked.

The people of the Song Family were also stunned. Was this really their Family Head who had just turned seventy?

At this moment, Song Qingshan appeared to be less than sixty years old, his previously snow-white hair now a mix of black and white.

"Is this the Family Head?"

"Dad, is it really you?"

It wasn’t just the Song Family servants who were skeptical; even the Song Family lineage members doubted if the person before them was really Song Qingshan, or perhaps his younger brother.

Seeing the reaction of those around him, Song Qingshan was quite proud.

All of a sudden, a powerful aura burst forth from him, and he declared loudly, "From today onward, in Jiangcheng City’s martial path, I reign supreme!"

As the words fell,

"It’s the Family Head, the Family Head has broken through!"

"What? The Family Head was already a late-stage Dark Energy expert. If he has broken through again, doesn’t that mean... he’s reached the Dark Energy Peak?"

"Even the top families in the provincial city, their strongest are only at the Dark Energy Peak, right?"

The members of the Song Family, one after another, cried tears of joy, excitedly shouting, "Congratulations to the Family Head!"

The Song Family, having risen to prominence through martial arts, was acutely aware of the significance of Song Qingshan’s breakthrough to the Dark Energy Peak.

More than thirty years ago, Song Qingshan had come across a Hair-Washing Marrow-Cleansing Pill by chance, and after consuming it, his martial path progressed by leaps and bounds, preserving the Song Family’s prominence for thirty years.

Now, not only had Song Qingshan regained his martial path but he had also broken through to the Dark Energy Peak. It was easy to imagine just how bright the future of the Song Family was going to be.

Looking at Song Qingshan, now imposing and commanding, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered that before Qin Chuan left the birthday banquet, he seemed to have left an Evergreen Pill as a congratulatory gift.

A bold guess formed in her mind, and she asked with a smile, "Grandfather, your sudden martial breakthrough must have been assisted by an honored one, right?"
