Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 214 - 215: Furious Yang Xue!

Tang Xuewu’s maternal uncle, Zhang Meide, also smiled at Zhang Meilan.

"Oh... this..." Zhang Meilan looked utterly confused, faltering at a loss for words.

"It’s just a small villa," Qin Long said with a smile, smoothly defusing the awkwardness for Zhang Meilan. "Auntie Lan didn’t want to show off in front of you all."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Zhang family felt a wave of shame. They had been targeting Zhang Meilan’s family, but who knew they were the truly wealthy ones!

Zhang Meilan gave Qin Long a satisfied look. After all, he was the one who had effectively slapped every member of the Zhang family in the face.

"This house... did your Tang Family pay for most of it?" Tang Xuewu’s third aunt, Zhang Meiyan, asked with envy.

A flicker of anger appeared in Tang Xuewu’s beautiful eyes as she explained to the crowd, "The Tang Family knows nothing about it. Qin Long paid for it in full."

"What!"

In the next second, all eyes were fixed on Qin Long.

Could it be this cripple? No wonder he had the Yulong Wang Villa key card. He’s actually the buyer of this incredibly lavish mansion! But how could Qin Long, a mere freeloading cripple, afford such an expensive mansion?

Although they couldn’t make sense of it, they weren’t foolish enough to ask outright and could only look on with helpless envy.

Zhang Meilan sat on the white velvet sofa, an unmatched air of triumph on her face.

「Elsewhere, at the Wang Family Estate in Jiangcheng.」

Wang Ming was in the main hall, instructing an older man.

"The Tang Family’s fiftieth-anniversary celebration is coming up. Immediately contact the media and online influencers. Have them blast the news about my marriage proposal to Tang Xuewu everywhere. Remember, I want all of Jiangcheng to know that on the day of the celebration, I will propose to her in grand style. I’m going to snatch his beloved woman right in front of him. I can’t wait to see his helpless expression."

After Wang Ming finished speaking, the middle-aged man beside him nodded emphatically. He wasn’t worried; any problem that could be solved with money was no problem at all.

"Young Master Wang, won’t this drive Qin Long into a corner?" the butler asked quietly, his head bowed. "That Qin Long seems to have some backing."

"Haha, that’s hilarious!" Wang Ming scoffed. "Qin Long is nothing but a freeloading fool. What can he do? With that one lame leg of his, he wants to compete with our Wang Family? He’s overestimating himself. Whether it’s power or wealth, we’ll crush him mercilessly!"

Wang Ming’s cold words made the butler immediately shut his mouth.

"So what if he’s friendly with a few minor characters? Even if someone from the government wants to make a move, I’m not afraid. Don’t forget that Yang Xue is my distant cousin, and she’s the current Commander of Jiangcheng! Unless he knows someone more powerful than her, he can’t touch the Wang Family! Besides, even if he does, we can get rid of him before they arrive. You know what they say: even a mighty dragon can’t crush a local snake!"

Wang Ming’s expression grew more arrogant. He lifted his glass of red wine and took a delicate sip.

"You little bastard! Get over here."

Just then, his mother, Wang Xiuhe, came jogging over aggressively, her face dark as she held out a tablet.

"Mom, what’s wrong?" Wang Ming asked, immediately on guard upon seeing his mother’s sullen face.

"It’s a call from your Cousin Xue."

Gritting her teeth, Wang Xiuhe passed the tablet to Wang Ming.

"It’s Cousin Xue?" Wang Ming immediately took the tablet, his expression respectful. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

As the Commander for the Jiangcheng government, Yang Xue was in a league of her own. It was because of her support that the Wang Family had risen so quickly to become one of Jiangcheng’s first-tier families. Therefore, they had always been extremely respectful towards her.

"Cousin Xue, it’s Mingming," Wang Ming said, bowing and scraping with the utmost respect.

"Wang Ming, whose white sword is that, really?" Yang Xue’s incredibly icy voice came through the tablet, striking Wang Ming like a bolt of lightning.

"Cousin Xue, what sword? I don’t know what you’re talking about," Wang Ming said, scratching his head in feigned confusion.

"Very well then! I’m driving to your house right now to hand that white sword over to my superiors. Then you can just wait to be investigated!"

Yang Xue’s voice was frigid, startling Wang Ming into a shiver.

This seems serious.

Wang Ming immediately fell into thought and finally realized what she was talking about.

It was the white sword he had conned out of that fool Qin Long for half a lollipop. He had been playing around with it back then when Yang Xue happened to see it. Wang Ming remembered clearly that Yang Xue’s expression had been very strange at the time. She had even recorded a video of it later. That meant the sword was no ordinary item. Back then, Wang Ming had wondered if it was related to that important figure. But so much time had passed that he had long since put the matter out of his mind. And now, Yang Xue had brought it up again.

"What’s going on, Wang Ming? It seems you really are hiding something from me," Yang Xue said. In the video, she slammed the table and shot up, smashing the glass in her hand.

"No, Cousin Xue, I wouldn’t dare! I’m just trying my best to remember..." Wang Ming stammered, swallowing hard and forcing a smile.

"Alright, have you remembered yet? Whose sword is it? If you lie to me about a single thing, I will no longer involve myself in the Wang Family’s affairs!" Yang Xue’s pretty face was a mask of ice as she spoke in a low, severe tone.

"Cousin Xue, I really did buy it from a disabled junk collector! Even if you gave me a hundred times the nerve, I would never dare to lie to you!" Wang Ming said, his throat tight and his voice trembling.

"Where was this disabled junk collector? Around when did this happen?" Yang Xue pressed, sounding very anxious.

"He was just a middle-aged man with a crutch and a straw hat... It was about three years ago. It’s been so long, Cousin Xue, I really can’t remember the details..." Wang Ming replied helplessly, his mind racing.

He knew he absolutely couldn’t admit he’d conned it out of Qin Long. If Yang Xue found out he had lied to her, she would never let him off lightly. Besides, as the Commander of the Jiangcheng government, she was in a different league entirely! If she got angry, the Wang Family absolutely couldn’t withstand the consequences. His entire family would be dragged down with him. If he claimed he had gotten it by chance, she probably wouldn’t make a big deal of it, even if she found out the truth later. He had to stick to his story about buying it from a disabled junk collector. That was the only way to keep Yang Xue from taking drastic measures.

Hearing Wang Ming’s words, Yang Xue fell into thought.

Meanwhile, Wang Ming’s heart thumped wildly as he waited.

His mother, Wang Xiuhe, also looked worried. She had never seen Yang Xue so furious. For her to start the video call and immediately interrogate Wang Ming about this... Her own heart was pounding with tension, and her face grew pale and drawn.

After thinking for two minutes, Yang Xue finally let out a long breath.

"Wang Ming, our families are distant relatives, so to speak. Therefore, I hope you’ll tell me the truth. Whose sword is it, really?"
