Chapter 153: Chapter 153: The Chu Family and an Old Grudge

’I hope Ye Xuanxuan really has a way to help Weiwei recover quickly.’

With a heavy heart, Qin Tianxuan walked out of the hospital.

Meanwhile, Jinling City was already in an uproar.

The Night Emperor was in Jinling. This shocking news had already spread throughout the entire city!

As the premier capital city of Jiangnan, Jinling was home to countless powerful families, and people of influence could be seen everywhere.

But they knew better than anyone the Night Emperor’s prestige, and the opportunities his name represented.

The benefits of establishing even the slightest connection with the Night Emperor were simply too great to count.

Consequently, all the major families were trying every method imaginable to send him their calling cards, hoping for the honor of inviting the Night Emperor to a meal.

As the Night Emperor’s public spokesman, Wang Hou of the God of Wealth Hall was incredibly busy.

He had no choice but to call Qin Tianxuan.

At that moment, Qin Tianxuan was on his way to the Celestial Essence International Hotel, where Ye Xuanxuan was staying.

On the way, he stopped by a nearby shop to buy a set of camouflage fatigues.

"Sir, the twelve great families of Jinling all want to invite you to dinner. Some of these families are extremely powerful, and they’ve all placed their calling cards on my desk."

Wang Hou sat in the Dongshen Financial Group’s Jinling branch building, his face etched with worry.

"Do I even need to tell you what to do? Reject them all!"

"Sir, it’s just that... they also found out you’re here to find a cure for your wife. So, not only did they bring calling cards, but they also sent all sorts of precious medicinal ingredients. Some even claim to know a Divine Doctor."

Wang Hou explained his concern in more detail. "I’m worried there might be a genuine lead among them. It would be terrible if we delayed your wife’s treatment because of it."

Qin Tianxuan grunted in acknowledgment. "Then have Lingsu arrange for someone to inspect the ingredients. As for the Divine Doctors, compile a list. I’ll make time to visit each of them personally!"

Qin Tianxuan was willing to try anything that might help Han Biwei’s condition.

Wang Hou looked at the calling cards before him and selected one. "There’s a renowned doctor here recommended by the Chu Family. Oh, and it seems this Chu Family relocated from the Imperial Capital. They were once quite prominent, but they’ve fallen on hard times. I think their offer is very sincere!"

Qin Tianxuan stopped dead in his tracks. "Which Chu Family? What’s the Patriarch’s name?"

"Chu Qianqiu. That’s the name!"

Qin Tianxuan’s body trembled as a boundless killing intent emanated from him. "The former top-tier family of the Imperial Capital, the Qianqiu Chu Family? The one that was suppressed by the Celestial Hall and forced to move out of the Imperial Capital and disappear?"

Wang Hou was stunned. "Sir, you know this family?"

Qin Tianxuan’s fingers were trembling.

"Send me the Chu Family’s calling card. And their family’s files. Send everything over now!"

After hanging up, Qin Tianxuan was so overwhelmed with emotion that he had to brace himself against a nearby tree.

’The Chu Family! Hah!’

’So you moved to Jinling.’

’That was my mother’s family!’

Back then, it was because the Chu Family had fallen into ruin that his mother was looked down upon by the Qin Family.

But that wasn’t the most hateful part.

The most hateful part was when he and his mother, after being cast out of the Qin Family, had survived by picking through scraps and garbage all the way to the Chu Family’s doorstep, only to be ruthlessly shut out.

Qin Tianxuan would never forget that dark, stormy night.

"I’m begging you! You can disown me, but Tianxuan... this child also carries the blood of the Chu Family. Please, just take him in!"

In the downpour, his gravely ill and weakened mother knelt before the Chu Family’s main gate, kowtowing again and again.

Thunder cracked across the sky, and flashes of lightning illuminated his mother’s deathly pale face.

BOOM!

The Chu Family’s gates were slammed shut and locked. A cold sneer drifted out from within. "The Chu Family has no daughter like you. You’ve brought nothing but shame to this family. We had hoped to rely on your status as the Qin Family’s young mistress to help us through our crisis, but who would have thought you’d become a burden instead!"

"Go away! There’s no place for you here! And as for that bastard at your side, the Chu Family will never acknowledge him!"

His mother collapsed in the downpour.

A young Qin Tianxuan rushed over frantically and hoisted his mother onto his back.

His small, childish hands beat desperately against the gate.

But the only response he received was the barking of guard dogs and the furious shouts of security.

"Please, I’m begging you... save my mom..."

"Get lost! We’re not about to offend the young master of the Qin Family. If you have to blame someone, blame your mother for being useless. Couldn’t even hold on to her man. Fucking bad luck. You’re a jinx!"

That night, his mother finally gave up.

The shameless cruelty of the Chu Family was the final straw that broke her.

As Qin Tianxuan recalled this, his heart felt as if it were being torn apart by knives.

CRACK!

The large tree beside him nearly shattered in his grip!

"Very good, Chu Family," he hissed. "You’ve come knocking on my door yourselves."

His voice raspy, Qin Tianxuan gave Wang Hou an order: "The Chu Family wants to invite me to dinner, don’t they? Arrange it!"

He put his phone away and looked up at the night sky.

It was as if he could see his mother’s kind face again.

’I’m sorry, Mom. I once swore to you that I wouldn’t seek revenge on anyone. I know you only wanted what was best for me, that you were worried I couldn’t possibly win against them.’

’But today... I’ve already lost too much. It’s time to settle some scores.’

With this silent vow, Qin Tianxuan strode into the Celestial Essence Hotel.

When he arrived at the presidential suite, Ye Xuanxuan was still fast asleep in bed.

WHOOSH. He tossed the camouflage fatigues onto the covers. Ye Xuanxuan groggily opened her eyes. "What gives?"

"New clothes. I bought them for you."

Ye Xuanxuan clutched the comforter around herself and glanced at the clothes, infuriated. "You big pervert! What is this? These camouflage fatigues are so out of style!"

With a single sharp tug, Qin Tianxuan ripped the comforter away.

Instantly, both of them froze.

Ye Xuanxuan wasn’t wearing a single thing. Now, Qin Tianxuan had seen it all.
