Chapter 425: Xue Wenshu's Phone Call

Facing Xue Wenshu's hysterical shouting, Nie Wenchang's complexion instantly darkened.

He never expected that Xue Wenshu could be so oblivious, daring to cause trouble at this moment, even questioning Jiang Feng's relationship with the Xia Family.

"What are you messing with!"

Nie Wenchang abruptly raised his hand.

With a crisp "slap," a sharp palm struck Xue Wenshu's face.

The blow was strong; Xue Wenshu was knocked off balance, her cheek instantly reddened and swelled, and a faint streak of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Xue Wenshu covered her burning cheek, completely stunned.

She had followed Nie Wenchang for so many years; even if he harbored resentment, he had never laid a hand on her.

Today, for an outsider, he actually slapped her!

Nie Wenchang pointed at Xue Wenshu, rebuking her in a stern tone.

"I could never mistake those two! With their status, if it weren't Lady Xia Junlan's order, how could they possibly come to Jiangcheng, this small place, to act with Jiang Feng?"

He grew increasingly angry as he spoke, his complexion turning an even deeper iron blue.

"If you keep spouting nonsense here and anger the Xia Family, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Nie Wenchang knew well how terrifying the Xia Family's power was; if Xue Wenshu's reckless words offended them, even with the Eldest branch supporting the Nie family, they might not withstand it.

Jiang Feng is now recognized by the Xia Family; it's too early to curry favor, how could he offend them?

Xue Wenshu covered her face, tears swirling in her eyes, while her heart brimmed with boundless hatred.

She clenched her teeth tightly, attributing the grievance of this slap to Nie Qianxue.

Yet she dared not show it, forcing herself to suppress the hatred, adopting a plaintive expression and choking out.

"I... I'm not doubting Jiang Feng; I'm just worried about him... worried that, in order to be with Qian Xue, he might be deceived and do something wrong."

She wiped the tears from the corner of her eye, looking pitifully at Nie Wenchang.

"After all, the Xia Family is the top elite clan in Jiangnan; their power is immense. If someone pretended to be from the Xia Family to deceive Jiang Feng, offending them would be disastrous! I'm only thinking of everyone's well‑being..."

Jiang Feng watched Xue Wenshu's pretentious demeanor, his face unchanged, offering only a faint smile.

Then he pulled the gilded invitation from his pocket and handed it to Nie Wenchang.

"This is the invitation Lady Xia Junlan gave me. Uncle, if you don't believe it, you can take the invitation to the Xia Family for verification."

Upon hearing this, Nie Wenchang's face broke into a beaming smile, and he quickly waved his hand.

"Son‑in‑law, of course I believe you! How could I doubt you?"

Saying that, he still eagerly took the invitation, opened it cautiously, and examined it closely.

"Sss!"

At first glance, seeing the familiar script, Nie Wenchang's breath nearly halted.

Nie Wenchang grew more excited as he read, for now he finally understood why Lady Xia Junlan had summoned Jiang Feng for treatment!

Some time earlier, Lady Xia Junlan suddenly fell into a mysterious coma; countless physicians were helpless, until a mysterious Divine Doctor intervened and revived her.

At that time, the incident spread like wildfire through the Provincial Capital's elite circles, with everyone speculating who the Divine Doctor was.

Nie Wenchang never imagined that the Divine Doctor was Jiang Feng himself!

"Son‑in‑law!"

Nie Wenchang grasped Jiang Feng's hand excitedly.

"I never expected you to be the Divine Doctor who revived Lady Xia Junlan! We've heard about it in the Provincial Capital; supposedly, after she awoke, the Xia Family announced internally that they would regard you as their foremost honored guest. Such a big matter—why are you telling us only now!"

His gaze at Jiang Feng now was as if he were looking at a priceless treasure.

With a deity like Jiang Feng as a son‑in‑law, even the Xia Family will regard the Nie family differently in the future!

"Xia Jie? Let him go play ball!"

"A frivolous heir—how could he match my worthy son‑in‑law!"

"Enough about the rest! Regarding your marriage, I, Old Nie, raise both hands in agreement! For Qian Xue to marry you is the greatest blessing of her life!"

He clasped Jiang Feng's hand and said impatiently.

"Quickly, son‑in‑law, lead us into your Medical Hall for another look! Not to hide it, I've been fascinated by medicine since I was young; with your skill, we can truly discuss it and broaden my knowledge!"

Saying that, he dragged Jiang Feng, eager to enter Ji Shi Tang, completely casting Xue Wenshu aside as if to the farthest heavens.

Nie Qianxue watched her father's attitude toward Jiang Feng flip a full 180 degrees, feeling both angry and amused.

A father's love for her could never match the family's.

Yet she was even more grateful to have found Jiang Feng...

Meanwhile, Xue Wenshu stood still, watching Nie Wenchang and Jiang Feng's intimate backs, her hand covering her face gradually lowering, her face full of spiteful venom.

"Damned it!"

Xue Wenshu gritted her teeth, muttering curses low, her gaze brimming with hatred.

"I never expected that brat Nie Qianxue would actually find such an ideal husband! What will become of my plan then?"

She had originally intended to expose Jiang Feng, leaving Nie Qianxue without an excuse, forcing her to obediently return to the Provincial Capital to marry Xia Jie.

That way she could leverage the Xia Family's power to fulfill her scheme.

But now, Jiang Feng's status is so complicated; her plan has been completely thwarted!

"No! I must not let that brat succeed!"

Xue Wenshu's gaze hardened, a vicious thought flashing in her mind.

She quietly pulled out her phone, slipped into a secluded corner nearby, and quickly dialed a number.

The call connected swiftly, and a young man's arrogant voice sounded from the other end.

"Who is this?"

Xue Wenshu inhaled deeply, forcing out a faint sycophantic smile.

"Young Master Xia, I'm Xue Wenshu! I'm currently in Jiangcheng, and I have some not‑so‑good news for you: your fiancée Nie Qianxue will soon be taken away by someone!"

"What?"

Xia Jie, on the other end of the phone, instantly became angry.

"Who dares to take my woman? Xue Wenshu, speak clearly! What exactly is going on?"

Xue Wenshu's Mouth corner lifted into a sinister Laughter, and he deliberately slowed his speech.

"Young Master Xia, here's the situation: Nie Qianxue has found a boyfriend in Jiangcheng and even said she wants to call off the marriage with you. That old fool Nie Wenchang actually believed it and has already consented to their marriage!"

Xia Jie, upon hearing this, roared in fury.

"How could this be! A stray kid who appeared out of nowhere dares to take my woman? I think he's just fed up with life!"

"Young Master Xia, you can't just let it go like that!"

Xue Wenshu hurriedly stoked the fire, deliberately pretending to be helpless.

"Who says it's not? I'm also filled with Sadness over Qian Xue's actions, how has this child become like this now…"

"I'm heading to Jiangcheng right now with my men; I want to see who the hell dares to take a woman from me, and I'll make them pay!"

Hearing Xia Jie's words, Xue Wenshu felt joy blossom in his heart.

"Alright! Young Master Xia, I'm waiting for you in Jiangcheng!"

After saying that, she didn't even wait for Xia Jie's reply and hung up the phone directly.

"Hmph!"

Xue Wenshu put away his phone and thought viciously in his heart.

"Nie Qianxue, Jiang Feng, do you think you've achieved Victory like this? Just wait! When Xia Jie comes personally to cause trouble, I'll see how you can stand up to it!"

"Jiang Feng? Hmph! Wanting to marry Nie Qianxue and ruin my plan, you're still a bit green!"

Xue Wenshu let out a Cold Smile, straightened his clothes, and regained that gentle and virtuous demeanor.

Then she twisted her waist, quick‑stepped after him, and entered Ji Shi Tang.

At that moment, inside Ji Shi Tang, the scene was one of harmonious merriment.
