Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife
Chapter 2160 - 626: An Li Scandal, Jiang Xuerou’s Scheme
"Uncle Li, I heard you’re not feeling well recently?" Jiang Xuerou retracted her unpleasant expression and asked with a smile.
Li Yuhang glanced at her with a smile, "Haha, yes, my health has been a bit unstable recently, but Xiao Qing has already cured it. She’s truly a Noble to our Li Family!"
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. Wasn’t it said that Li Yuhang was already terminally ill?
Except for the Li Family and Zhang Wen’s mother’s side, who knew the real situation, everyone else believed that Li Yuhang was just sick. The Li Family wasn’t one to gossip, and the Zhang Family wouldn’t spread such scandalous news, so until now, everyone thought Li Yuhang was merely ill, terminally ill. It was said that even the most famous medical team on Flower Island was helpless at that time, just waiting for death. How could he be cured?
"Grandpa Li, please don’t flatter me, I’m not worthy of being a Noble, but the medical fees still need to be paid." An Yiqing teased with a smile.
Li Yuhang immediately glared, "You girl, no wonder Yu Fei says you’re a money grubber!"
An Yiqing glanced at Li Yuphei with a cool voice, "Speaking ill of someone behind their back is not a good habit."
Li Yuphei, being exposed, gently adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and raised a deep smile, "If it’s you, I wouldn’t mind developing such a bad habit."
The Li Family ancestors and An Yiqing conversed animatedly, stunning those present. But, everyone understood from Li Yuhang’s words that An Yiqing was the one who cured him.
Who exactly is this girl? How does she have such great skills?
At that moment, the silent hall suddenly burst into boisterous laughter.
"Isn’t this Miss An? We had a brief encounter a few days ago!" Jiang Zirong looked deeply at An Yiqing, his tone meaningfully mysterious, "So Miss An is the one who cured Old Master Li, truly young and accomplished. No wonder you managed to seize that piece of land."
The mention of land acquisition instantly heightened the tension in the room. Li Yuhang and Li Yuphei’s expressions darkened, staring at Jiang Zirong.
Unexpectedly, An Yiqing suddenly let out a soft chuckle.
"Mr. Jiang, you’re too kind. It’s just some luck with a little money that allowed the smooth purchase of the land. However, there were some minor issues during the handover, some petty people causing trouble behind the scenes, making things uneasy for me."
"Oh? Who dares to make things uneasy for Miss An? Miss An, have you offended someone?" Jiang Zirong scoffed cynically, and those nearby felt a chill run down their spines.
"I’m new to Flower Island, how could I offend any big shots? Even if I did, they’re merely insignificant lowly people without any backbone. But things are resolved now, what’s mine won’t change. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jiang."
An Yiqing smiled lightly, Jiang Zirong’s cold eyes fixed on her. Until everyone thought he might pull out a gun and finish off An Yiqing, he suddenly burst into loud laughter.
"Good! Good! Good! Miss An is indeed young and talented!" Jiang Zirong laughed heartily and looked deeply at An Yiqing again, "I hope Miss An enjoys peaceful days on Flower Island."
The crowd began to stir quietly; Jiang Zirong’s words were too harsh, clearly a blatant threat. Looking at An Yiqing’s exquisitely jade-like face, everyone showed a hint of regret in their gazes.
An Yiqing didn’t take Jiang Zirong’s threat seriously, but Li Yuhang and Li Yuphei’s moods sank. An Yiqing was invited by them, and if anything were to happen on Flower Island, how would they explain it to Xuandu City?
Li Yuphei was about to speak but saw Jiang Xuerou stepping forward.
"Which prestigious school did Miss An graduate from?" She walked up to An Yiqing, her gaze full of scrutiny. Jiang Xuerou wore a long dress the same color as An Yiqing’s, taller than An Yiqing, giving her an appearance of looking down from above.
She coldly stared at An Yiqing, her lips carrying a smile, but jealousy and mockery flashed in her eyes.
"Sorry, I’m currently attending Xuandu University, not yet graduated." An Yiqing responded with a gentle smile.
The crowd quietly snickered; turns out she was from the Mainland. For many on Flower Island, their impressions of Xuanjin Mainland were still stuck in its outdated and backward image, not understanding the current changes there.
Jiang Xuerou didn’t mock An Yiqing’s Mainland origin, for she wasn’t foolish enough to say something that might lower An Yiqing’s status but could also affect some Mainland enterprises hearing and harm their own industry significantly.
