Chapter 510: Chapter 509: Is Her Name Zhang Yuhuan?

(Thank you to both old friends for the rewards, haha, I have been traveling these past few days and it has been inconvenient to access the internet. I usually just hastily update in the author’s section and leave, but today I finally saw it, I’m sincerely grateful!)

————————————————————

"Indeed!"

As soon as Elder Mr. Ma finished speaking, Qian Fuchen also suddenly realized and nodded deeply, feeling moved. He thought back to how Xiao Yi had only charged him one billion, which was already quite generous, and he couldn’t help but feel grateful.

Xiao Yi, proud as he was, didn’t think much of this rule because it was his medical skill that he was proud of. However, he had not expected Elder Mr. Ma to understand it so well, and gratitude showed on his face as he looked at Elder Mr. Ma.

"Here, Doctor Xiao, I’ll toast to you too. I’ll spare the extra words,but if you ever encounter a problem you can’t solve or find difficult to solve, feel free to find me. Mr. Ma will do whatever is within my power, even if it means going through fire and water!"

After a moment of silence, Mr. Ma reflected on his father’s words. The more he thought about it, the more he felt the necessity of maintaining a good relationship with Xiao Yi, a young man with a promising future. With a sincere expression, he raised his glass.

"Mr. Ma, you are too polite. I believe there will definitely be times ahead when I will need to trouble you. Cheers!"

Xiao Yi smiled and quickly raised his glass, drinking it all in one gulp.

Although Mr. Ma’s identity had not been announced, Xiao Yi had a clear idea in his heart. This was one of the reasons why he especially trusted the Ma family father and son.

Not only did he appreciate Mr. Ma and Elder Mr. Ma’s personalities, but undoubtedly, their reputation and the contributions they had made to the country played a significant role as well.

There was no need to speak of Elder Mr. Ma; even Mr. Ma had achieved impressive political merits and honors in recent years, receiving high praise throughout the country!

With each glass of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet quickly unfolded. Besides Mr. Ma and Qian Fuchen who toasted Xiao Yi, Elder Mr. Ma and Qian Fuyu also toasted him each. Then, everyone refrained from turning the banquet into a drinking competition. Both Mr. Ma and Qian Fuchen, skilled in social interactions—particularly Mr. Ma, though his identity was not public and only known as a wealthy businessman and patient—controlled the scene very well. Often, with just a few words, he successfully opened up a topic, turning the gathering into a banquet that deepened everyone’s relationships, almost like a family dinner.

They not only deepened their ties with Xiao Yi but also with Elder An and Dr. Zhang next to them. Everyone felt as if they had become close friends.

"Ring, ring..."

While everyone was enjoying the lively conversation, a sudden loud ringing broke the ongoing talk of Qian Fuyu.

"Excuse me."

After a brief pause, Xiao Yi quickly realized it was his cellphone. He looked apologetically at everyone at the table and quickly pulled out his phone, pressing the answer button without checking the caller ID.

"Xiao Yi, are you busy?"

As soon as the call connected, Xiao Yi heard a calm voice from the other end, causing him to pause.

"Senior Zhang?"

After a slight pause, Xiao Yi quickly recognized the voice. He wore a surprised look on his face, not expecting Zhang Yuhuan to call him at this time.

"Yes, it’s me, haha, you didn’t forget to save my number, did you?"

"Er, no, Senior, I was just eating and heard the phone ring, so I picked up without looking at the caller ID. Sorry about that."

Hearing the somewhat blaming tone in Zhang Yuhuan’s voice, Xiao Yi quickly explained, slightly embarrassed.

"Oh, are you dining out?"

Zhang Yuhuan asked somewhat surprised. Although Mr. Ma and the others had consciously stopped talking when Xiao Yi answered the phone, she still faintly heard some background noise when the call connected.

"Yes, that’s right, haha, I’m having dinner with a few friends outside. Senior, have you had your meal?"

Xiao Yi glanced around at everyone and smiled as he spoke.

"I just finished eating, haha."

Zhang Yuhuan chuckled.

"Oh, right, Senior, did you have something you wanted to talk about?"

Xiao Yi, feeling somewhat apologetic as everyone around him was waiting for him to finish the call, didn’t care to prolong the conversation and quickly asked.

"Nothing much, just wanted to talk. I might be returning to Glass City for a while. Before I leave, I wanted to say goodbye to you. Is it convenient for you?"

"Back to Glass City?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback. Despite knowing Zhang Yuhuan for so long, he never knew where she came from or sought to find out, momentarily unable to react. After a while, he finally responded, "Senior, are you from Glass City?"

"Yes, I’m from Glass City and came here to study."

Zhang Yuhuan nodded.

"Oh, so, Senior, when are you leaving?"

Xiao Yi nodded, indifferent to Zhang Yuhan’s words. There were quite a few people from Glass City who came here to study, especially in such prestigious institutions as Z University. Fatty Tang had mentioned that there were even two in their class alone.

"In a few days, haha, are you free tomorrow evening?"

A hint of sadness appeared in Zhang Yuhuan’s eyes, but it vanished in a moment, replaced by a smiling face as she spoke to Xiao Yi.

"Tomorrow evening, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be free."

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment; if there was no news from Situ Qingfeng tomorrow, he had no plans. Thus, he nodded.

"That’s good, then I won’t disturb your dinner anymore. See you tomorrow."

Upon hearing Xiao Yi agree, Zhang Yuhuan’s face immediately brightened with a smile. Realizing Xiao Yi had mentioned that he was having dinner with friends and that it must not be convenient to talk on the phone, she quickly and tactfully suggested hanging up.

"Okay, by the way, Senior, those spoiled young masters haven’t troubled you again, have they?"

Xiao Yi nodded and was about to hang up, but at the moment his finger pressed the button, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Zhang Yuhuan.

"No more, haha, I guess they were scared off by you, Xiao Yi."

Hearing Xiao Yi’s question, Zhang Yuhuan thought of those spoiled young masters from last time and secretly sneered. The Zhang family had already taught them a harsh lesson last time, making them pay a painful price! They wouldn’t dare to trouble her anymore, unless they no longer valued their lives!

However, her sneer was fleeting. Hearing the concern in Xiao Yi’s voice, Zhang Yuhuan’s smile grew even brighter, and she slightly mischievously replied.

"Ah, good that they haven’t troubled you again, haha."

While Xiao Yi was unaware of Zhang Yuhuan’s background or the subsequent events, both the Qian Family and the Li Family had paid a heavy price due to what Qian Xiaojie and his companions did that day — especially the Qian Family, which nearly saw the destruction of its clan. Xiao Yi, however, merely smiled at her words.

"Hmm, Xiao Yi, thank you!"

Zhang Yuhuan suddenly mustered up the courage, a strange glint appearing in her eyes, thanked him, and then hung up the phone.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi hadn’t expected Zhang Yuhuan to suddenly say thank you and was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to come to his senses, wanting to say something, but by then, he was greeted by the beeping tone of a disconnected call. Zhang Yuhuan had already hung up.

He could only helplessly shake his head and give a wry smile as he put away the phone.

When he looked up, he noticed that the people at the table were all staring at him with peculiar expressions. He thought they were just waiting for him to finish the call. He couldn’t help but show a slightly apologetic look, saying, "Sorry, I just had to take a call."

After answering, he realized something was a bit off. Their faces still wore incredibly odd expressions as they stared at him.

"What’s the matter with you all? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Yi felt a tingle as everyone’s gazes bored into him.

"The person you were talking to on the phone, last name Zhang?"

Elder Mr. Ma was first to come to his senses, his face showing a complex expression as he looked at Xiao Yi, his gaze slightly peculiar as he asked.

"Yes, what about it?"

Xiao Yi hadn’t realized anything was amiss, thinking they might have just heard his conversation with Zhang Yuhuan since he hadn’t tried to hide it, which seemed quite normal.

Seeing the expressions on Elder Mr. Ma’s face becoming even more puzzled, he asked.

"Is she from Glass City?"

Elder Mr. Ma didn’t respond directly to Xiao Yi’s question but continued with a bizarre expression.

"Yes, Elder Mr. Ma, what’s going on? Why do you ask that?"

Xiao Yi became even more baffled. What did Elder Mr. Ma mean? Why kept asking him these questions? Zhang Yuhuan being from Glass City was something he mentioned during the call, so what was odd about that?

"Is her name Zhang Yuhuan?"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer from Xiao Yi, Elder Mr. Ma’s expression grew even more peculiar as he asked again.
