Chapter 248: Chapter 248: The Shock of the Mountain and River District

Qin Tianxuan helped Ah Xue back to the hospital room.

On the way, Ah Xue chattered on about how nice the nurses were, and how the doctors took meticulous care of her.

Qin Tianxuan’s heart ached as he listened.

’This silly girl...’ No one had treated her this well since she left the mountains. It was because she had suffered too much.

Besides, Qin Tianxuan had already brought the central hospital to heel with his money.

From the director down to every last junior nurse, they had all received a massive bonus from Qin Tianxuan himself!

How could they dare not give Ah Xue their utmost care?

When they reached the room, he saw the bag of croissants was still there, untouched.

"Ah Xue, why didn’t you eat? They won’t be as good if you let them sit for too long."

Xia Xueqing smiled, pursing her lips, and excitedly picked it up. "I was waiting for you, Brother Tianxuan. I wanted to treat you to a meal, but now all I can offer are these croissants."

Qin Tianxuan turned his head slightly, not wanting Ah Xue to see his reddened eyes.

He picked up a croissant and started eating it in big bites.

Even though it tasted very ordinary, the more he seemed to enjoy it, the happier Ah Xue became.

It was as if they were back in their childhood, sitting across from each other in the mountains, eating freshly picked wild strawberries.

No matter when he recalled those times, the memories were always so warm and fond.

After finishing in silence, Qin Tianxuan asked for Ah Xue’s medical records again to look them over.

"Ah Xue, I’ll have one of the kind ladies from the Celestial Medicine Hall take another look at you. If you’re all clear, you can leave the hospital!"

Xia Xueqing’s expression changed instantly. "Brother Tianxuan, will... will you go back to the Sun Family with me?"

’The Sun Family?’

Qin Tianxuan knew she had misunderstood and quickly said, "You never have to go back to the Sun Family again. And I’ve already canceled your engagement. From now on, you’ll live with me! I’ll take good care of you."

Just as he finished speaking, Lingsu arrived.

"Sir, the treatment for the Ding Family’s foolish son is nearly complete. With two or three years of recuperation, he should make a full recovery. Ding Shaoyang is very grateful and wants to thank you in person."

Qin Tianxuan nodded, introduced Xia Xueqing, and then left the room after chatting for a little while.

Outside the hospital, Wutian and Chen Haobei were waiting.

"Madam Weiwei and Miss Niannian have been settled in the First-class Myriad Phenomena District next to Brocade Mansion!" Wutian reported in a low voice. "It’s the best villa community in the city in terms of environment."

’First-class Myriad Phenomena... The name is a bit tacky, but according to the information, the place is actually very nice.’

Qin Tianxuan nodded, satisfied.

Meanwhile, Chen Haobei was reporting on the affairs of the Celestial Brocade Financial Group.

Chen Haobei had acquired this local financial group on short notice. The process was only halfway complete. Its headquarters, the Brocade Mansion, was located in the Mountain and River District.

"The Mountain and River District is Jin City’s number one central business district..." Chen Haobei reported in detail as he kept pace with Qin Tianxuan.

Suddenly, a dozen assorted official cars appeared up ahead.

SCREECH! They all stopped at once.

Wutian’s eyes flashed. He raised a hand and made a signal, and the Personal Guard who had been following them nearby immediately took their positions.

"Who is it?" Qin Tianxuan stopped.

Chen Haobei glanced into the distance and smiled. "It’s the chief officer of the local Mountain and River District. They’re here for you, Sir."

"Why? They shouldn’t know my identity, should they?"

"Of course not. But we now control the Celestial Brocade Financial Group, the most powerful conglomerate in the Mountain and River District. Naturally, they have to pay attention."

As they spoke, the chief officer of the Mountain and River District appeared with a group of subordinates, looking extremely excited.

Chen Haobei stepped forward and blocked their path.

"Ah, excuse me, is the chairman of the Celestial Brocade Financial Group the gentleman behind you? We’ve come to pay our respects."

Chen Haobei smiled. "Do you know who our Sir is? He doesn’t have time to see you."

The chief officer of the Mountain and River District frowned, looking a little displeased.

’I, the top official of this district, came to pay a visit, and you’re putting on airs?’

As he was frowning, his secretary caught sight of Wutian and shuddered.

The secretary forcefully pulled back the chief officer, who was about to lose his temper, and whispered a few words to him.

The chief officer’s legs went weak, and he nearly fell.

"Are... are you sure? The Northern Domain Grand Commander, Lord... Lord Wutian?"

"I could never mistake him. I saw him once when I was on official business in the Northern Domain."

The chief officer knew his secretary came from the Battle Department. Having no more doubts, he led everyone in bowing to Wutian from a distance.

Wutian frowned and moved to stand directly behind Qin Tianxuan. "Who are you bowing to? If you’re going to bow to anyone, bow to our Sir!"

What?!

Even the Northern Domain Grand Commander, Wutian, respectfully called him "Sir" and could only stand behind him.

’Who is that young man?’

At that moment, the secretary thought of something and began to tremble all over.

He whispered a few more words in the chief officer’s ear.

This time, the chief officer staggered, only managing to stay on his feet with the support of the people behind him.

"You... you can’t be joking? The... the Night Emperor?"

The secretary swallowed hard. "There is no other person who could command such respect from Lord Wutian!"

After the terror came boundless excitement for the Mountain and River District’s chief officer!

’The Night Emperor himself has graced the Mountain and River District of Jin City, and he even bought a villa in my jurisdiction? This... what an immense honor!’

The chief officer was dying to rush forward and pay his respects.

But Qin Tianxuan just gave a dismissive wave from afar and got into one of the cars.

The car drove away.

The chief officer of the Mountain and River District was still reeling with excitement.

They could only turn their attention to Chen Haobei.

Chen Haobei placated them with a few smiling words before leaving as well.

Just then, the chief officer’s phone began to vibrate.

He picked it up, glanced at the screen, and grumbled, "These wasteful fools from the Sun Family... they want me to go to their villa to mediate some trivial matter? Who do they think they are!"

The secretary couldn’t help but ask, "The Sun Family?"

"A man named Sun Haodong, you wouldn’t know him. Speaking of which, his parents were truly good people. They sponsored my education when I was a student, so we became nominal relatives. After the old couple passed away, I cut ties with the rest of them!"

The chief officer had a very low opinion of Sun Haodong’s family.

But thinking back on the kindness he had once received from the Sun Family, he said to his secretary, "Go to the Sun Family’s villa in a bit and see what’s going on. It seems he got into a fight and wants me to mediate. You go and handle it on my behalf!"

His expression turned serious. "Remember, if it’s just a common brawl, don’t get involved. Just come straight back!"

The secretary smiled and went on his way.

Meanwhile, the Sun Family’s villa was already bustling with activity.
