Chapter 229: Chapter 229: The Suddenly Appearing Machete_1

"Zhang Xian, what are you stuttering for? Do you actually have moments where you’re embarrassed? That truly is a miracle. Isn’t your skin thick as a city wall?"

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose, asking, "What do you mean? Did you call me just to vent your anger at me? That’s not right!"

"I do want to vent my anger at you. If I’m not feeling good, I want to rub it in."

Zhang Xian complained, "Damn it, did I offend you? Plus, you’re engaged. Why would you call me? Are you asking for my blessings? Last I checked, I’m not your ex-boyfriend, am I?"

"I... I’m upset, can’t I vent on you? I... I... sob sob..."

"What’s wrong?" Zhang Xian, seeing Lin Ruoyi suddenly start crying, asked puzzledly, "You’re getting engaged tomorrow, shouldn’t you be happy? Why are you crying?"

"Who said I should be happy? I don’t want to marry that guy, but I have no choice, something has happened at home. I originally wasn’t going to agree to the engagement, but my mom knelt down today to force me into it. What am I supposed to do? I really don’t understand, why am I, too a woman, so unfortunate, not even having the right to decide my own marriage, isn’t it very pitiful?"

Zhang Xian frowned, asking, "What happened to your family?"

"My dad’s company ran into trouble. It needs someone else’s help to overcome the difficulties, and I’m the bargaining chip."

Zhang Xian said, "Just for that?"

"What do you mean, just that? Do you think I’m not miserable enough?"

Zhang Xian laughed, asking, "Did you just say you don’t want to get engaged to that so-and-so?"

"Yes, I don’t like him."

Zhang Xian said, "Alright, where are you having the engagement?"

"South Lake Hotel, why? Are you going to attend my engagement?"

Zhang Xian chuckled, "Of course, I have to come! After all, we’re friends, aren’t we? It’s not nice not to attend!"

"You jerk, I won’t talk to you anymore."

Just as Zhang Xian was about to say something, Lin Ruoyi hung up on him, not giving him a chance to speak.

With a bitter smile and a shake of his head, he didn’t try to call her back, just putting the phone back into his pocket.

Zhu Yan, seeing Zhang Xian hang up, asked with a frown, "Brother-in-law, was that Lin Ruoyi who just called? What’s the situation?"

Zhang Xian said, "She seems to be getting engaged, but it wasn’t her intention. She’s pretty pitiful."

"Ah...," Zhu Yan said, "How could this happen?"

Zhang Xian shook his head, "I’m not quite sure, but it seems something happened in her family, and they have to use her happiness to salvage it. Sometimes, being part of a wealthy family isn’t necessarily a good thing."

"I really don’t get it. Lin Ruoyi is getting engaged, why would she call you?" Zhu Yan asked, "Are you guys close?"

Zhang Xian said, "Well... We’re friends after all! It’s normal, right?"

Zhu Yan asked, "The issue is, it seems she wasn’t inviting you to her engagement party, but was venting her anger. Is this also considered normal?"

...

In an old courtyard in Yantai City, inside a room.

Yu Wenhui was sitting on the bed, eating porridge.

Du Xinyan was sitting by her side, pouting. It was already nine in the evening, and that Zhang Xian still hadn’t shown up. God knows which beauty he was fooling around with.

Seeing Du Xinyan in a bad mood, Yu Wenhui asked, puzzled, "Xinyan, what’s wrong? Are you not happy?"

Du Xinyan shook her head, "No."

Yu Wenhui chuckled, "I know. Are you upset that Zhang Xian still hasn’t arrived yet?"

Du Xinyan blushed, "Mom, I’m not thinking about that guy. Why do you always bring him up?"

Yu Wenhui said, "You’re my daughter, my own flesh and blood. How could I not know what you’re thinking? You can fool others, but can you fool me?"

Du Xinyan glanced at Yu Wenhui, then shyly lowered her head, not daring to speak further.

"Auntie, I’m here."

A little while later, Zhang Xian walked in with a black bag, saying, "I got caught up in something today, so I’m a bit late."

"It’s okay, as long as you’re here," Yu Wenhui replied with a smile.

Du Xinyan scoffed, turned her head, and didn’t bother to pay attention to Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian put down the bag, walked to the bedside and said, "Hey, beauty Du, what are you doing sitting here? I need to treat your mom. You’re in my way, clear out."

"You..." Du Xinyan got up, glared fiercely at Zhang Xian, and then stormed out.

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose, chuckled, and sat next to the bed. He took Yu Wenhui’s wrist and started the treatment, "Auntie, one more session today, and your body should be almost fully recovered. But the car accident has delayed your body’s recovery. Otherwise, a couple more sessions, and those small ailments in your body would have healed completely. Even compared to some healthy people, you would be doing much better."

Yu Wenhui nodded, saying, "Thank you, Zhang Xian."

"It’s nothing, since Du Xinyan and I are friends, I should be doing these things." Zhang Xian laughed, then said nothing more.

After he finished treating Yu Wenhui, he brought the black bag over, "Auntie, there’s 500,000 in here, it’s the compensation I got back for you. Now that you have the money, don’t work so hard in the future."

Yu Wenhui exclaimed in surprise, "What? Half a million? How could there be so much money?"

Zhang Xian said, "This is the compensation from the person who caused the accident."

"But... but how could there be so much?" Yu Wenhui was somewhat incredulous, "My injuries aren’t that serious, a few tens of thousands would have been generous, isn’t half a million too much?"

Zhang Xian gave a bitter laugh, "Auntie, how can you complain about too much money! Just take it."

"I..." Yu Wenhui glanced at Zhang Xian, suggesting, "How about we split it fifty-fifty? You were the one who helped me recover from my injuries."

Zhang Xian shook his head, "I can’t accept this money, I don’t lack money. Why would I split it with you? Right now is when you need money. Du Xinyan is still studying. Take it and use it slowly."

After Yu Wenhui took the bag and looked at it, she didn’t know what to say.

She already had quite a good impression of Zhang Xian, and at this moment, she practically admired him. This little guy actually got her this compensation, an entire half a million.

If it were anyone else, would they have gone to such lengths? If they really got half a million, wouldn’t they pocket it? It’s not a small sum.

"Mom, what is this?"

Feeling that it was about time, Du Xinyan walked in.

Seeing Yu Wenhui clutching a black bag, looking slightly off, she couldn’t help but take a look and was shocked, "Mom, why... why do you have so much money in your hand?"

Yu Wenhui came back to her senses and said, "This... this is the compensation that Zhang Xian helped us get."

"Compensation?" Du Xinyan turned her head, looking at Zhang Xian she asked, "You... you really went to find that guy?"

Zhang Xian chuckled, "I promised you that I would sort out this issue, so of course I have to do as I say. If I only talked and didn’t do anything, wouldn’t that be untrustworthy?"

Du Xinyan looked at Zhang Xian, silent for a long time.

She didn’t expect Zhang Xian to have actually gone to find that rich guy and even got half a million. She feels that the process must not have been easy, after all that guy was driving a sports car and clearly had a complex background.

"What are you looking at? Do you think I’m handsome?" Zhang Xian chuckled.

Snapping back to reality, Du Xinyan’s face turned bright red. Can this guy stop being so narcissistic? And her mom’s right there, how could he behave this way?

Stamping her foot, she dragged Zhang Xian outside, "Get out here, I have something to ask you."

Zhang Xian asked, "What is it? Can’t you say it inside?"

Du Xinyan said, "Is this money really from the driver? I feel it’s kind of doubtful."

"What do you mean? Why is it doubtful?"

Du Xinyan pursed her lips and said, "Is this your money? You want to help us, but you’re worried we won’t accept it, so you came up with this plan."

Zhang Xian laughed, "Oh, so I’m a good person in your eyes? And here I thought I was the worst."

"You... you are the worst."

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Actually, this money really isn’t from the person who caused the accident. Yet, his car is with me. I originally wanted to sell the car and give you guys the money. A friend suggested it would be unfair to sell a damaged car without documents, so I didn’t. I decided to use my own money to keep it. The half a million I just gave your mom is the money I planned to use to buy the car."

Du Xinyan seemed confused, "I don’t think I understand what you mean."

Zhang Xian said, "What I mean is that this money isn’t voluntarily given by me, it is indeed compensation from that guy. I just helped you guys get it in a different way."

"I see!" Du Xinyan nodded and looked at Zhang Xian, "No matter what, thank you for this."

Zhang Xian grinned and asked, "Why are you thanking me again?"

"I know what you want, and I’m not going to give it to you!" Du Xinyan stuck out her tongue and, covering her face, ran back inside.

Zhang Xian laughed and, after lighting a cigarette, stepped out of the courtyard and headed in a certain direction.

Not long afterwards, a figure suddenly appeared, brandishing a gleaming cleaver, he dashed out from a nearby alley and swung at Zhang Xian with a vengeance.

"Damn..."

Zhang Xian swiftly dodged the cleaver.

The mystery attacker, finding his attack had missed, continued to advance. The cleaver in his hand danced like a dragon in flight, moving extremely quickly, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Zhang Xian, seeing the man launching a full-on assault without a word, and each slash aimed to kill, was rather annoyed. As he backed away, he was also looking for an appropriate opportunity.

"How is that possible?" the attacker exclaimed in surprise, his speed slowing down a bit.

During their previous confrontation on Camel’s Peak, he had experienced Zhang Xian’s formidable abilities. Without confidence that he could win, he decided on a sneak attack this time, hoping to take advantage of the situation and kill Zhang Xian.

What he didn’t expect was that Zhang Xian’s strength had once again exceeded his expectations. Even with a knife in his possession, he couldn’t lay a finger on Zhang Xian.

"Looking for death..."

Seeing the attacker’s speed reduce, Zhang Xian suddenly rushes forward, kneeing the man in the abdomen.

"Bang..."

Like a kite with a broken string, the shadowy figure flew several meters backward, crashing into a wall.
