Chapter 455: Chapter 456: Should Get a Mental Health Check

(Thank you, Lulu Ye, for the reward. Thank you!)

————————————————

At first, they were anxiously searching for their father’s hospital room and didn’t pay much attention to Xiao Yi, so they did not recognize him from his back. But after Xiao Yi paused for a moment, they immediately noticed him, especially since there was no one else in this corridor except for this thin figure.

"Second brother, isn’t that the bumpkin named Xiao Yi up ahead?"

It was Qian Xiaojie who reacted first, looking at the thin figure ahead that somehow seemed familiar. After scrutinizing for a bit, he asked with some hesitation.

Hmm?

Hearing Qian Xiaojie’s words, Qian Xiaofeng, who had not noticed Xiao Yi, was taken aback and looked in Xiao Yi’s direction. Upon seeing him, his face suddenly changed.

If Qian Xiaojie only had a faint recollection of Xiao Yi, then for Qian Xiaofeng, that impression was far more profound. His connection with Xiao Yi was much more intense—not only had they known each other for a longer time, including the issue with Han Lu in the middle, but that single slap which had caused his handsome face to swell for so long was enough to make him never forget Xiao Yi!

"Damn it, what bad luck to run into this bumpkin here, son of a bitch!"

Seeing Qian Xiaofeng’s expression, Qian Xiaojie didn’t need to wait for his answer to know that his initial instinct was correct. The bumpkin ahead was undoubtedly Xiao Yi.

"Hey, why does it seem like this guy is heading in the wrong direction? Isn’t that the high-end VIP special care ward over there?"

While speaking, Qian Xiaojie suddenly remembered something and exclaimed.

Hmm?

Qian Xiaofeng also snapped out of his bitterness, thought of the same issue, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his eye. He was well aware that aside from knowing the Han Family, this bumpkin couldn’t truly know any wealthy people. Han Family members, he was sure, were not hospitalized.

Thinking to himself, he sneered and said to Qian Xiaojie, "That bumpkin is up to no good, sneaking around here. No idea what he’s here for! Let’s go teach him a lesson."

"Okay!"

Qian Xiaojie had been feeling frustrated. He had just found a girl he was interested in and thought he could have some fun when unexpectedly, the girl turned out to be a big shot. Not only did he fail to get the girl, but it also resulted in severe losses for his family, almost crippling him. When he heard the Zhang Family’s demands, his face nearly turned white.

Fortunately, his father finally figured out a solution, saving them both, but they had become the sinners of the family. The way the other family members looked at them no longer carried the respect of the family head’s sons; their gaze had changed. He felt unbearable guilt, but what troubled him even more was that his father had stopped paying attention to him.

Finally, after his persistent pleading, his beloved Third Uncle reluctantly informed him that his father was being treated at the Provincial People’s Hospital. That’s why they came here together, hoping to seek their father’s forgiveness.

Throughout his life, he had never suffered such monumental frustration and significant blows. These days, he had been suppressing his emotions, which had already reached their limit, desperately needing an outlet. When he heard Qian Xiaofeng’s words, he immediately nodded without hesitation, his eyes revealing a trace of excitement. He rushed forward and blocked Xiao Yi, his gaze filled with scorn, and said, "Hey kid, stop right there."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi, who hadn’t expected them to approach him voluntarily and seemed to have hostile intentions, was startled.

Although he had never thought about, nor did he care about, their attitudes toward him, and he never hoped for them to be pleased to see him, he was currently treating the head of the Qian Family. Did they not fear that he, in a fit of anger, might ignore them?

"Xiao, this is the special care ward area. What are you skulking around here for? "

Qian Xiaojie, completely oblivious to the unusual expression on Xiao Yi’s face, spoke with a sneer on his lips, "Is this a place meant for someone like you?"

"Xiao, if you know what’s good for you, you’d better scram."

Qian Xiaofeng’s lips also curled up in a sneer of disdain as he looked at Xiao Yi. Seizing an opportunity to make Xiao Yi suffer and assert his superior status made him feel a surge of pleasure and relief.

"Do you really want me to leave?"

Xiao Yi seemed to not notice the disdainful expressions and unfriendly tone on their faces as he looked at them with a strange expression, calmly asking in return.

"Nonsense, is this a place where someone like you should come?"

Qian Xiaofeng watched Xiao Yi’s expression, vaguely feeling that something was off. This reaction did not seem typical of Xiao Yi. His words seemed to carry some hidden meaning, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was amiss. He didn’t dwell on it much, but instead coldly snapped.

Although he had been slapped hard by Xiao Yi and knew that Xiao Yi was very capable of fighting, this was the People’s Hospital, a public place. He did not believe Xiao Yi would dare to hit someone for no reason, so he felt very reassured.

"Country bumpkin, why don’t you open your eyes and see where you are? This is a deluxe private ward! Not a place for people like you!"

The corner of Qian Xiaojie’s mouth also rose with a mocking expression, although he hadn’t formed a deep grudge with Xiao Yi. Previously, he was the only one who had suffered under Xiao Yi’s hands, having been extorted and nearly slapped. Moreover, he felt that if it hadn’t been for Xiao Yi intervening that day, he might have forced himself on the Zhang Family girl. Things could have turned out differently – maybe even resulting in a marriage that would have allied his family with the Zhang Family, making him a hero to the Qian Family!

Therefore, he was extremely annoyed with Xiao Yi.

Making Xiao Yi suffer a setback brought a sense of delight and satisfaction to his heart!

His thoughts were similar to Qian Xiaofeng’s; he believed that Xiao Yi would definitely not dare to make a move here, so his words became even more unrestrained.

Qian Xiaofeng and Qian Xiaojie mocked Xiao Yi relentlessly, and yet Xiao Yi didn’t even frown. With a hint of disdain and mockery in his eyes, he looked at them as if they were fools. In fact, after hearing their words, he truly believed that they needed to see a psychiatrist to get checked...

They mind their own business, and he minds his. They came out of nowhere and started spouting this nonsense to him. If word got out, no one would believe they weren’t fools. What were they trying to achieve with such talk?

Show off their status?

Show they were more noble than him, Xiao Yi?

And then what?

Would that make them satisfied, pleased?

If that was the case, then they really should see a psychiatrist... their threshold for pleasure... was just too low...

Moreover, the life of one of their fathers was still in his hands... Shouldn’t they treat him with more respect instead of trying to drive him away?

At the same time, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder those so-called health products that even fools know are bogus have such a market – because, in this world, there really are some people whose memory is so bad that they genuinely need something like "Brain Silver Gold" to boost it.

He remembered that previously, after he had slapped Qian Xiaofeng, they had seen him in Elder An’s office and were as meek as mice. Now, not much time had passed and yet they seemed to have forgotten all about it, starting to act arrogantly again.

"Quite bold, may I ask, gentlemen, what kind of people do you think can afford such a ward?"

Just as Xiao Yi was about to say something, a loud voice already sounded behind him.

Hearing this thunderous voice, Xiao Yi was slightly startled at first but then turned around with a smile, looking warmly toward the source of the sound.

Mr. Ma was standing behind him, unknown to him until now, looking at Qian Xiaojie and Qian Xiaofeng with a sneer and mocking glance. Unlike his usual stern and formal suit, he wore casual clothes today, which made him seem less intimidating but more approachable and casual.

Just as Xiao Yi was about to greet him, Mr. Ma gestured with his hand to stop him.

Seeing Mr. Ma’s gesture, Xiao Yi was briefly taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face as he stepped aside, his eyes gleaming with ridicule and pity as he watched Qian Xiaojie and Qian Xiaofeng.

"And who are you?"

Qian Xiaofeng and Qian Xiaojie didn’t expect someone to intervene. They were momentarily stunned, their faces slightly reddened – after all, their words just now had been quite offensive. Yet, in a moment, they recovered and coldly sized up Mr. Ma, who had inserted himself into the situation. Seeing him dressed in ordinary casual clothes and looking rather relaxed, they didn’t take him seriously, assuming he was just a nouveau riche. Given that the province was their territory, they were familiar with most prominent figures, hence they immediately retorted without any courtesy.
