Chapter 166: The Xia Family Doesn’t Care Anymore?_1
Seeing someone arrive so late, Yin Tian, Chen Shengguo and his wife, and Zhao Wanlin all turned their heads to look.
Once they clearly saw who the newcomer was, they were all momentarily stunned.
Among them, after their moment of shock, Chen Shengguo and his wife, and Zhao Wanlin all showed respect on their faces, and even went as far as bowing, "Family Head Qiao."
But Yin Tian couldn’t help but laugh.
"Brother Qiao."
Yin Tian greeted with a smiling call.
Brother Qiao?
Chen Shengguo and his wife, and Zhao Wanlin suddenly turned their heads, all looking incredulously at Yin Tian.
What had they just heard?
Yin Tian was actually calling this person "Brother"?
"I heard you came to the province city, so I came back too," Brother Qiao said with an easy smile, gesturing his bodyguard to push his wheelchair forward, "I didn’t expect that the first time we’d meet in the province city would be at my godmother’s birthday banquet."
Godmother?
Yin Tian was also slightly taken aback.
Sir Meng was Brother Qiao’s godmother?
He immediately turned his head to look at Zhao Wanlin.
Why hadn’t Zhao Wanlin told him this?
Seeing the question in Yin Tian’s eyes, Zhao Wanlin hastened to answer softly, "I wanted to tell you, but I was interrupted before I could finish..."
Yin Tian blinked.
Indeed, when he had first arrived, it seemed Zhao Wanlin had not finished speaking before being interrupted by Chen Shengguo.
He had been rather puzzled, not knowing why Old Madame Meng was so respected by so many people.
But if Old Madame Meng was Brother Qiao’s godmother, then everything fell into place.
Brother Qiao turned his head slightly, looking at Chen Shengguo and his wife with a smirk, "Just now, I believe I heard someone say that this young brother of mine is useless, a complete waste with no right to enter their home. Is that correct?"
The beautiful woman’s face instantly turned pale.
She really hadn’t expected that Yin Tian had such a relationship with Brother Qiao!
Brother Qiao, the most powerful figure in the province city, had never been so close to an outsider.
But today, he was calling Yin Tian his "young brother" right in front of her!
"I... I..."
The beautiful woman was so scared she couldn’t speak.
"Brother Qiao, after all, she is my mother-in-law," Yin Tian said with a light smile, "You don’t need to be angry."
Brother Qiao glared at Yin Tian, murmuring, "This is me trying to support you."
Yin Tian broke into a grin.
Seeing this, Brother Qiao asked again, "How did you end up here?"
Yin Tian explained what had happened.
"I see."
Understanding, Brother Qiao looked at Yin Tian, "If there’s anything you need from me, just say the word."
"Sure."
Yin Tian responded.
"Patriarch Chen."
Brother Qiao spoke again in an indifferent tone.
Chen Shengguo’s body trembled slightly as he looked respectfully at Brother Qiao.
"There’s no need for me to say more about my relationship with Yin Tian," Brother Qiao glanced at Chen Shengguo and continued unhurriedly, "So do you know what to do now?"
"I know, I know," Chen Shengguo repeatedly answered.
Originally, he was filled with hostility toward Yin Tian.
But after learning about Yin Tian’s intention to marry into the Chen Family, all that hostility had vanished into thin air.
"Would you like to stay for a meal?" Brother Qiao looked at Yin Tian, extending the invitation.
"No need, you know Nianbing’s situation. I need to go and sort out her affairs as soon as possible," Yin Tian declined Brother Qiao’s offer.
"Okay, then that’s it," Brother Qiao didn’t insist and signaled his bodyguard to push him inside.
Soon, Chen Yu came out from inside the house.
She had been talking to Old Madame Meng the whole time inside and had no idea about what had happened outside.
But the moment she stepped out, she felt the atmosphere was off.
Why were the few people in the courtyard looking at Yin Tian with such strange expressions?
"We’ll be leaving too," Yin Tian said to Chen Shengguo with a grin.
Chen Shengguo managed to squeeze out a smile, watching Yin Tian leave the place with Zhao Wanlin.
"Dad, what happened?" Chen Yu came beside Chen Shengguo and asked obliviously.
"Nothing..." Chen Shengguo waved his hand, his expression still looking quite strange, "You... just get along well with Yin Tian..."
Chen Yu was even more puzzled, glancing at the beautiful woman only to see her complexion changing continuously, lost in thought...
Back at the hospital, Yin Tian immediately brought Zhao Wanlin to Xia Nianbing’s ward.
After glancing at Xia Nianbing who was still deep in sleep, Yin Tian turned his gaze to Xia Dongliu, who had been guarding there, and inquired, "Did anything happen while I was away?"
"Nothing happened, it’s just that..." Xia Dongliu slowly started, his face full of embarrassment, "Because of the previous incident, our family is already out of money... This time, the hospital bills are a bit of a problem..."
The Xia Family was once the leader of the four great families in Su Hang.
Yet today, they couldn’t afford the hospital bills, which was simply laughable!
"What about the Xia Family’s main branch?"
Yin Tian frowned slightly, looking at Xia Dongliu.
"All the Xia Family money was taken by the main branch, and now they’re not managing it?"
