ce unconsciously softened.Summer chuckled: "Senior Sister Yunman, are you saying that at home I can do whatever I want""I didn't say so, don’t overthink it!" Dr. Liu Yunman glared at Summer; the perve...Chapter 1079: Intricacies Among the Aristocracy

The speaker was a glamorous and affluent lady. Judging from her appearance, she looked only twenty years old, but her figure suggested that she was in her thirties, and her face indicated that she was at least forty. As for her actual age, Xu Jiasheng knew very well; this lady was his eldest brother Xu Jiafu's wife, Wang Shuyi.

"Eldest sister-in-law, you shouldn't make such groundless accusations. Xiao Tong and I went to Hope City to bring the Divine Doctor Xia here for Father’s medical treatment. Everyone is aware of this matter. Now you’re accusing us of going shopping. Don’t you think that's too much" Xu Jiasheng retorted angrily.

"Third brother, it’s not just me saying this; sending a driver to fetch the doctor would be sufficient. But you insisted on doing it yourself, and even brought Xiao Tong along! Do you know she’s pregnant I heard that Hope City isn’t very safe. What if something happens to our Xu family's eldest grandson" Another woman spoke up. She appeared much younger than the first one, around her thirties at most, with good looks and a nice figure, clearly better off compared to Wang Shuyi who was well dressed but unattractive. However, she still fell short in comparison to Xu Jiasheng's wife, Wei Xiao Tong.

This woman was Xu Jiafu’s second wife, Wong Ka-Lai, also from a prestigious family background, although her family had fallen on hard times.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiasheng became even more furious: "Second sister-in-law, why must I personally invite Doctor Xia Why did I bring Wei Xiao Tong along Don’t you all know the reasons very well If you truly don't understand, shouldn’t you ask my second brother and eldest brother"

"Third Brother, those are not your words to say! While I agree with you going yourself, I never said anything about Xiao Tong coming too. What if something happens to the child in her womb We can’t afford such a responsibility," another man interjected. This fellow was around thirty years old and bore some resemblance to Xu Jiasheng; he was Xu Jiasheng’s second brother, Wong Ka-Lai's husband, Xu Jiaxing.

"That's right, now who doesn't know that Xiaotong's child is our Xú family's treasure!" Huáng Jiālì馬上為她的丈夫辯護。

"Third Brother, Second Brother is right. If anything happens to the child, you will be the culprit of our Xú family!" At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties spoke. This was Xu Jiafu.

"I see that you're hoping for something to happen to the child" Xu Jiasheng sneered, "Everyone knows what's going on; there's no need to act like you don't know!"

"Third Brother, how can you say such things"

"Look at this, is this how you talk to your elder brother"

"This is really unacceptable..."

"You completely disregard us..."

The room頓時became chaotic, with everyone talking over each other in an unusually messy scene. As for the summer and Ning Jie who were just invited by Xu Jiasheng, no one seemed to care about them at all; they had been completely sidelined.

Ning Jie frowned slightly. Although she didn't know the specifics, she could guess that it was probably a major drama related to family disputes or inheritance struggles within this wealthy clan.

In today's world, some people are so obsessed with money that they can throw everything else away. People say that one would stick a knife in their ribs for their brother and stab them twice for a woman, but when it comes to money, whether it's a brother or a woman, they could be stabbed ten times or more. Even if they're blood brothers or spouses, in the face of significant interests, they can turn against each other.

"Hey, all of you shut up!" Summer angrily shouted at this point. "If you want to argue, do it after I leave and don't waste my time!"

The originally noisy living room suddenly fell silent. Dozens of eyes turned toward Summer as if they only now truly noticed her presence.

After a brief moment of silence, someone immediately cursed back at Summer: "How dare you speak like that This is our Xu family; it's not your place to meddle!"

The one speaking was Shu Yi Wang, and while the others didn't say anything, their expressions clearly showed that they supported her. In their view, this was their family matter, and an outsider had no right to interfere, regardless of whether Summer was a hired doctor or not.

"Auntie, this is Divine Doctor Xia, who has come to treat Father. You should be more polite!" Xu Jiasheng snorted coldly, "I know you want to drive Divine Doctor Xia away so that Father can die sooner, but Auntie, even if you have such intentions, do you need to make it so obvious"

"Third Brother, don’t slander me! Who wants Grandfather to die soon I think you’re the one who hired a quack to hasten Grandfather’s death!" Wang Shuyi looked furious. "I’ve never seen such a young traditional Chinese doctor before; how do I know if you didn’t randomly find someone from some obscure corner to impersonate him Anyway, we haven’t seen this so-called Divine Doctor Xia, so who cares what you say! You claim he’s some kind of divine doctor, right Where is the proof"

"Auntie, you are simply being unreasonable!" Xu Jiasheng was momentarily at a loss for words and felt helpless. He truly didn’t know how to prove that Xia Tian was a divine doctor since it was his first time seeing him as well, and he wasn’t very familiar with Xia Tian’s background.

"Hey, ugly woman, if you’re sick, go get treated; don’t make trouble here!" Xia Tian glared angrily at Wang Shuyi. Really, ugly people caused the most trouble—this woman actually dared to call him a quack and question his identity. If he hadn’t been afraid of dirtying his hands by hitting her, he would have slapped her already.

"What did you say Who do you think is ugly" Wang Shuyi was also furious now, while Xu Jiasheng felt secretly delighted; the man who had previously harbored doubts about Xia Tian now found him more agreeable to look at.

"I’m talking about you. Look at how thick your makeup is!" Xia Tian said irritably: "Even I hesitate to hit someone with that much powder on their face, otherwise I would have beaten you up already!"

Poor Wang Shuyi was so angry that the foundation on her face began trembling and seemed ready to fall off. However, Xia Tian no longer paid attention to her; instead, he turned to Xu Jiasheng: "Hey, take me to see Old Man Xu Qingshan. I’m busy, and I don’t have time to waste with you here."

"Alright, Dr. Xia, please follow me," Xu Jiasheng also decided to temporarily refrain from arguing with these people; for him, the greatest victory would be curing his father's illness. At this moment, he was hoping that this self-proclaimed miracle doctor, Xia Tian, was indeed a miracle worker.

"Get out! You have no place here in our Xu family, we don't need doctors like you—no, you're not even a doctor, you're just a fraud. Get him out of here!" Wang Shuyi suddenly shouted furiously at this point.

"Slap!" A clear sound of a slap made the noisy living room fall silent again. The Xu family members stared in shock at the bright red handprint on Wang Shuyi's face, completely stunned—Wang Shuyi had been slapped How could this be so unbelievable

Even more astonishing to everyone was that they didn't know who had struck the blow; none of them saw anyone take action. All they heard was a slap and then noticed Wang Shuyi's face bearing its mark, only then realizing someone had hit her.

"You have no right to ask my husband to leave, nor do you have the right to smear him as a fraud. This slap is just a taste of your own medicine; it will teach you that words aren't to be taken lightly!" A cold voice rang out, coming from Ning Jie's mouth: "Since my husband doesn’t want to soil his hands with this, I'll do it for him."

"You! How dare you hit me" Wang Shuyi looked at Ning Jie in disbelief; only now did she realize that Ning Jie had slapped her. After a brief moment of shock, she went into a frenzied verbal assault: "How dare you touch me Do you know who I am You shameless wretch, you uncultured mainland woman! You... ah!"

Wang Shuyi let out a short, sharp cry; her body flew through the air and hit the living room wall with a crash. A painting hanging on the wall was knocked down and fell to the floor beside Wang Shuyi's limp form as she slid down it, completely unconscious.

"To dare to罵我老婆, it's simply asking for death!" Summer muttered to himself. This time, however, he finally took action—literally with his foot, kicking Wang Shuyi so hard that she was sent flying.

The Xu family members were once again stunned. Both parties were fiercely aggressive, and while Xu Jiafu and others who had previously endured Wang Shuyi's bullying felt glee at her misfortune, they dared not show it openly when seeing her being beaten up.

Meanwhile, Wang Shuyi's husband, the eldest of the three brothers in the Xu family—Xu Jiafu—was visibly enraged: "How outrageous! Report this to the police immediately!"

"Take me to find Xu Qingshan," Summer said, ignoring Xu Jiafu and addressing Xu Jiazheng instead.

“Of course, Dr. Summer,” Xu Jiazheng’s previous perception of Summer as having ill intentions towards his wife had now transformed into a sincere admiration for him. Earlier, he pretended to be courteous out of pretense, but now it was genuine. Who could blame him when someone else did what he wanted to do but lacked the courage for In fact, he had long wished to slap Wang Shuyi’s face and kick her several times.

Xu Jiazheng led Summer up the stairs, followed by Ning Jie and Wei Xiaotong. Though Xu Jiafu was furious, he did not stop them. They were arranging for an ambulance while waiting for the police to arrive.

Upon reaching the second floor, Xu Jiazheng opened a room door. The strong smell of Chinese medicine immediately permeated out. Although it was a modern villa, its interior decoration was traditional, even including an antique redwood bed. Seated beside this bed was a young woman in her twenties, while lying on it was an elderly man with a gaunt and rough complexion.r me at the front of the hotel.""It's the Hyatt Hotel again!"
