QT: The Rescue Of The Miserable Bigshots-Chapter 219 - 8.6

"Let him go."

Fu Yanchen glanced at Director Fang with clear impatience. "As compensation, I’ll cover his medical expenses."

Jiang Jiamian: "..."

How generous of him.

"Come on, brother-in-law." Jiang Jiamian casually rotated his arm, "We’re family, right? I’m at least half family. You came to the hospital with only your housekeeper... so lonely. Why don’t I stay and keep you company?"

Fu Yanchen’s expression darkened by the second, until his face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.

Sensing his master’s worsening mood and fearing he might lose control on the spot, the housekeeper quickly stepped forward and spoke to Jiang Jiamian, "Young Master Jiang, please don’t push it. Our master isn’t familiar with you, nor with your fiance!"

Outsiders might not know, but the housekeeper did, his master had never acknowledged that illegitimate child as a brother.

So, who was this so-called fiance of someone with no relation, causing a scene here?

"Well then."

Jiang Jiamian clapped his hands lightly. "I will go, reluctantly. But as for your leg, I might have a solution. If you’re willing to pay a high price, let’s say, five million, I’ll sell you the method."

Noticing the veins twitching on Fu Yanchen’s forehead, Jiang Jiamian hopped off the small bed on one leg and quickly interjected before Fu Yanchen could erupt, "But don’t worry, you can think it over. I’ll be outside. Take your time, I hope you make the right decision."

With that, he didn’t bother to glance at Fu Yanchen’s shifting expression and half-jumped, half-limped out of the rehabilitation room.

"Ahahaha, I didn’t expect Young Master Jiang to have such a playful side." Director Fang laughed awkwardly, wiping the imaginary black lines off his forehead. He walked over to Fu Yanchen with an embarrassed smile. "Well then, let’s begin, Mr. Fu."

The whole thing was absurd. He, a top specialist, couldn’t solve the issue, yet a pampered young master claimed he could? And even asked for five million?

Did he really think Mr. Fu was some gullible fool?

Fu Yanchen remained silent, his gaze drifting toward the door. For some reason, as ridiculous as Jiang Jiamian’s words had sounded, there was a strange pull in them, something almost convincing.

Even stranger was the feeling he got when he met Jiang Jiamian’s eyes earlier, those bright, cunning eyes gleaming with mischief, didn’t match the image of the fool he thought he knew.

In fact, the contrast was jarring.

With a gaze that sly, how could he possibly be the same idiot who once humiliated himself doing those stupid and unbearable things for someone like Fu Xiaoyuan?

"Host, do you think he will believe you?"

Jiang Jiamian lay down on the chair in the corridor outside the door with a leisurely look, closing his eyes as if taking a nap.

Of course, the system believed that its host could really do it.

After all, the space from the cultivation world that merged with his soul wasn’t just for show.

In this ordinary world, any single item from that space would be enough to cause a sensation.

Not to mention the spiritual spring and those rare spiritual herbs.

To heal Fu Yanchen’s legs, a light sprinkle would be more than enough.

Jiang Jiamian curled his lips into a faint smirk, "It doesn’t matter whether he believes me or not. What matters is, from now on, he’ll start paying attention to me. That alone means my plan is already halfway done."

The system was stunned for a moment. "Plan? What plan?"

Jiang Jiamian grinned, one eye slightly open in amusement, "Obviously, to marry into the Fu family!"

The system exclaimed in shock, "Huh!? You want to follow the same path as the original owner? But that protagonist is seriously not worth it!"

"Are you crazy?" Jiang Jiamian rolled his eyes. "Who said anything about marrying the protagonist? Don’t forget, Fu Yanchen is my rescue target this time. Of course, I need to find a way to be close to him."

Since the original plot included a scheme where the protagonist, Tang Tang, manipulated events to marry the original owner to Fu Yanchen, Jiang Jiamian had no plans to avoid it.

He will just go with the flow.

However, to avoid ending up like the original owner, ignored and driven out on the wedding night, he would have to prepare thoroughly.

"Jiamian, why haven’t you come back yet? Why are you sleeping out here?"

Just as Jiang Jiamian was still waiting on the chair in the corridor, a familiar voice rang softly beside his ear. He opened his eyes to see his mother walking toward him with a look of concern on her face.

Jiang Jiamian gave her a gentle smile. "It’s not over yet. I was just taking a short break. I’ll be heading back in a bit. Mom, you go ahead first, I can walk on my own."

The parents in this world, Jiang Jiamian thought they were... pretty decent.

They weren’t the type to spoil their child, but at least when it came to matters like marriage, they didn’t think only of the family’s interests. Back then, when arranging the engagement, they had actually considered whether the original owner had feelings for Fu Xiaoyuan.

Now that he wanted to cancel the engagement, they didn’t throw a tantrum about losing face or try to force him to stick with it.

It can be said that they are good parents.

Far better, at least, than the old man of the Fu family.

Everyone knew that Mr. Fu only accepted the engagement for business interests.

Jiang Jiamian had every reason to believe that even if the original owner had really married into the Fu family, as he had wished, once the benefits dried up, he would be cast aside like a worn-out shoe, discarded at any moment.

And that wasn’t even the worst part.

Even Fu Yanchen, Mr. Fu’s own biological son, had been sacrificed for the sake of the family’s interests.

Everyone in high society knew Mr. Fu held a death grip on the Fu family’s power and had no intention of loosening it, not even for his own son. That had long since bred jealousy between father and son, and suspicion. The Fu family was more like an ancient royal court than a modern household.

In a place like that, if someone like the original owner, with such a naive personality, had actually married into the Fu family, he would be chewed to the bone in no time.
