Chapter 267: 267 Unchanged nature is hard to shift like rivers and mountains (first update)

Wu Yifan listened to Ershun’s words and touched the money he had just withdrawn from the bank with both hands, unconcerned about how Mi Xue was faring, nor did he have the mood to care about the current situation of Mi Xue’s family or uncle. Glancing at Ye Cheng sitting nearby, he took a step forward,

"Dr. Ye, I really didn’t expect to see you here."

Ye Cheng glanced at Wu Yifan and smiled,

"I called Director Zhou, and Director Zhou said Xiaofeng was coming here. Since my home is not far from Haicheng, I came over. I’m also lucky; I ran into Xiaofeng as soon as I arrived. Since I’m feeling hungry, I asked Xiaofeng to join me for a meal. Have you guys eaten? Why not join us?"

"We’ve just eaten," Wu Yifan and Yang Zhenye said as they took seats to the side, no longer mentioning the sky-high meal prices they had just encountered at the restaurant.

A madam with several men stormed over, followed by a gentle-looking woman who hurried behind the former, her face full of urgency.

"Aqiu," the woman caught up with her,

"Xiaoxue surely didn’t do it on purpose. You’re her aunt, you can’t do something that would hurt her."

The madam named Aqiu sneered,

"Sis, Xiaoxue is spoiled by you all. Today, a lesson is in order. Look at how she harmed her uncle. Not to mention losing his business, he nearly lost his life. I must have a good talk with her about this."

Aqiu, in her high heels and ignoring the Mrs. Mi’s attempts to stop her, was determined to settle the score with Xiaoxue,

"Sis, it’s no use trying to stop me today. I must settle this account with Xiaoxue."

Her husband and she usually treated Xiaoxue well, and this was how Xiaoxue repaid her uncle.

"Aqiu, Aqiu," Mrs. Mi followed closely behind Aqiu,

"Maybe this has nothing to do with Xiaoxue at all, perhaps it’s the work of Yonghe’s enemies from outside. Though Xiaoxue is a bit willful, she definitely doesn’t know such big shots, how could she possibly offend them?" As soon as they took action, it was ruthless. The Mi Family could not withstand it; if it wasn’t someone with immense power, then what was it?

Mi Xue sat at the entrance of the restaurant, listless. Compared to her usual pompous demeanor, she now resembled a severely sick beggar on the street, her eyes lifeless.

Aqiu, looking at Mi Xue, felt anger surge within her. She stepped forward and slapped Mi Xue across the face,

"Mi Xue, you calamity, tell me why you would harm your uncle like this. Where did your uncle wrong you for you to treat him this way? If anything happens to your uncle, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."

Mi Xue was jolted awake by her aunt’s slaps. She looked at the people around her, hugged one of them and burst into tears,

"Mom, I didn’t mean to harm my uncle, I myself don’t understand what’s going on. Mom, I really didn’t mean to harm my uncle, and I didn’t think of harming dad and big brother either, you have to believe me." She really hadn’t done anything, and she didn’t even know what had happened today.

"Xuexue, mom has told you before, you need to keep a low profile outside, and not to always use your brother and your father’s names. Look at what happened today; surely the other party won’t tell us who it is."

"Mom, what do we do now? Even if I wanted to apologize, I wouldn’t know where to find them." Mi Xue had never been so humiliated before.

In front of some people, she really was nothing. They took over her uncle’s business without a word, and the power behind it was evident.

"The moment they arrived, they revealed your uncle’s illegal transactions from the past few years. When asked, they just told us to ask you," Aqiu, breaking into tears, said,

"Xuexue, our Du Family has lost everything, everything."

Mi Xue looked at the attractive man not far away, looked at his gentle smile towards Su Xiaofeng and could only hear one voice in her head, could it be him? Could it be him?

But looking all over Haicheng, she had never even met the man, let alone heard of him. Surely it couldn’t be him.

If he had such great power, Su Xiaofeng would not be pleading for cooperation with Mingzhu Mall. No, it definitely wasn’t him.

There must be someone else behind this, yes, there must be another person. freёwebnoѵel.com

The commotion over Mi Xue attracted the attention of Xiaofeng’s group, but they didn’t wish to watch anymore.

After all, it was just the tale of Young Lady Mi, who at some point had offended someone, leading to this sudden act of retribution.

"Dr. Ye, that I could come back to Haicheng, I owe many thanks to you. If it weren’t for your and the sixth master’s excellent medical skills, I would probably only have the option of waiting to die at home." Wu Yifan said this, poured himself a glass of juice,

"I’ll use this in place of wine, to toast to you."

Ye Cheng raised his glass to clink with the other,

"To save lives and heal the wounded is part of the job."

"It might be a small thing for you, but for me, it’s a lifesaving grace," Wu Yifan truly appreciated Ye Cheng and the sixth master from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, Brother Cheng, my brother is truly grateful to you all. Knowing you and Sixth Master reported back to our master and had no way to repay your kindness, he thought of helping your sister-in-law. Who would have imagined that this Mi Xue was so repulsive? She nearly laid hands on Sister-in-law, which is simply despicable."

Wu Yifan’s eyes darkened as he spoke, it seemed he had missed the most exciting part, "Wasn’t I going to get money? Why would she still want to harm Xiaofeng?"

"I said a few words to Mi Xue, and she made as if she were going to hit me. When Sister-in-law protected me, Mi Xue almost kicked her in the stomach. If Brother Cheng hadn’t appeared suddenly, who knows what might have happened to Sister-in-law by now." The thought itself was truly frightening.

Wu Yifan clenched the palm of his hand tightly, this Mi Xue was truly deplorable.

"This Young Lady Mi Xue has been spoiled by her temper, and usually, no one dares to oppose her. It’s normal that she can’t take it when you all suddenly stand up to her today." Yang Zhenye said, accustomed to Mi Xue’s capricious behavior, "Usually, if she encounters the slightest displeasure, she either beats or scolds her subordinates. She’s been pampered and privileged, able to take it when others praise her, but not when they criticize."

"There’s a saying that there’s always a higher sky above, and a taller mountain beyond. Mi Xue could never have imagined that one day she would be dealt with like this." Wu Ershun could think of what kind of person Mi Xue was before, and now, seeing what she had become, he really wanted to burst into laughter.

Even in Xijiang County, he was someone of note, wasn’t he? Did he get carried away? Did he become arrogant? Was he so full of himself that he became blindly arrogant?

Therefore, one must stay low-key. You can’t afford to be too high-profile, because if you are, someone might pull you down at any time, and that feeling must be quite bitter.

After eating, Ye Cheng and his group naturally returned to their rooms.

Watching Wu Yifan and his group leaving, Mi Xue looked at Wu Yifan as if he was a lifeline. She obstructed Wu Yifan’s path, pleading in her tone, "Yifan, it was indeed my fault for bullying you just now. I realize my mistake now. Can you tell me if you know who is pulling the strings behind this?"

It was eerie, everything was too eerie.

She asked herself, she had been quiet recently, aside from wanting to control Wu Yifan and his group. She had not offended anyone else. The sudden disaster that fell upon the Mi Family and the Du Family, she truly had no clue how it came about.

She was clutching at straws in desperation, what if it was really someone Wu Yifan and his group brought in as their backup?

To be honest, Wu Yifan didn’t care in the slightest about what had happened to the Du Family or the Mi Family, and he was even less concerned about what would become of Mi Xue’s days ahead.

"Mi Xue, I’m sorry, but I’m just a person from a small place. I don’t understand the power struggles of the big city. Maybe it’s your father or your brother who are usually too sharp-edged, thus offending someone. I think for this matter, you should go back and ask your brother or your father if they have offended someone. Perhaps you have just given them a reason to take action against your entire family." Haicheng was a big place with many influential figures.

And the Mi Family was not a dominating power in Haicheng. Anyone stronger than the Mi Family was likely to make a move against them, weren’t they?

Mi Xue’s face went pale listening to Wu Yifan’s words.

There was one point where Wu Yifan was correct: although the Mi Family came from a somewhat reputable background in Haicheng, they were not all-powerful there. If the higher-ups wanted to target the Mi Family, there were plenty of methods available.

In other words, her bullying of Wu Yifan and his group today merely provided the opportunity for the adversary to tackle the Mi Family; their real target was not the assets of the Du Family, nor her, but the core figure of the Mi Family—her father.

Realizing this, Mi Xue suddenly laughed, like a flower among thorns, "Just don’t let me find out this has anything to do with you. Otherwise, I will not let you off."

In response to Mi Xue’s words, Xiaofeng rolled her eyes. To have come to such a plight, Mi Xue still had the energy to threaten them here.

It’s easy to change rivers and mountains, but one’s nature is hard to alter.

"Miss Mi truly never forgets to show off her Young Lady temperament wherever she goes." Xiaofeng, hooking fingers with Ye Cheng, spoke in a languorous voice, "Miss Mi, with all this energy you have, you might as well think about how to rectify the situation, instead of threatening a few of us. What kind of ability is that?"

The last thing Mi Xue wanted to see at the moment was the woman before her. If not for her, she wouldn’t have been thrown out by the man next to her just now, nor would she have ended up injured all over.

She... When she met Ye Cheng’s eyes, as calm as an ancient well, an inexplicable shudder ran through her at the darkness within.
