Chapter 75: The Liu Family, A Dispute

  Just as Wu Rui and Yang Xuan's situation was ambiguous, a sudden change occurred. A loud shout suddenly came from the front: "Yang Xuan, what kind of behavior is this!"

  Upon hearing the voice, Yang Xiang was secretly annoyed but still quickly separated from Wu Rui, her face awkwardly disheveled as she randomly tidied up her hair, which in fact wasn't messy at all - it was just an instinctive action to cover up her embarrassment.

  Wu Rui's old face turned red, almost making a mistake just now, it seems that his composure is still insufficient! At the same time, Wu Rui also looked at the newcomer, but the next moment was a daze. The newcomer was not alone, besides the young man who had been drinking earlier, there was a beautiful woman behind him, as well as several black-clad bodyguards.

  This beautiful woman, Wu Rui happened to know her, was the first beauty patient she met after coming to E City, named Liu Ruoxi. At that time, she was still with Xu Niang, and unexpectedly met again in such a situation.

  It may be that Wu Rui's image has changed too much, or it may be that the light is blurry and unclear. At this time, Liu Ruoxi did not recognize Wu Rui's identity and was standing there with her head down, thinking about something.

  At this time, Yang Xiang also recovered from the embarrassment and asked coldly to the noble-looking man in front of her: "Liu Tianbao, what are you doing here?"

  The young man known as Liu Tianbao snorted disdainfully, looking down his nose at Wu Rui with a superior attitude: "Don't ask me how I'm here, as the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, you're now being affectionate with this pretty boy somewhere, what kind of behavior is this? If this gets out, where will our Liu family's face be?"

  "What a joke! Two years ago, my mother and I were already driven out of the Liu family by you people, and now you still say I'm the daughter-in-law of the Liu family? Are you people too hypocritical? And Wu Rui is not the 'little white face' you mentioned, apologize to him immediately!" At this time, Yang Xuan's gentleness was gone, replaced by sharpness, like a sharp sword pointing directly at the enemy.

  She was not ordinary either.

  "You..." Liu Tianbao was both embarrassed and angry, but he didn't want to be rude to a woman either. So he pointed the spearhead directly at Wu Rui: "Yang Xuan, do you want me to apologize with Xiao Baizhi? Have your humor cells increased after leaving the Liu family?"

  “……” Liu Ruoxi, who was following behind, slightly furrowed her eyebrows, but lowered her head and said nothing. As a woman, she sympathized with Yang Xuan's experience, but as a member of the Liu family, she was destined to be unable to stand up for justice, knowing that her second brother's attitude was cruel and hateful, she could not speak out a fair word, this is the tragedy of the family.

  "You... you!" Yang Xuan was so angry that her chest heaved violently, but she couldn't say anything else. Reason with him? The other party was just bullying her with their power and status. Warn them? She was no longer the young mistress of the Liu family, now she was just an ordinary citizen, and warnings were nothing but a joke to them!

  Wu Rui, who had always been transparent, couldn't help but stand up and glanced at Liu Tianbao, saying: "Liu Tianbao, right?"

  "Not bad, I'm Liu Tianbao, the second young master of the Liu family. However, you can't call me Liu Tianbao directly. You may address me as Young Master Liu or Master Liu." Liu Tianbao was indeed a unique individual, and he launched into a self-introduction that was so over-the-top that even Liu Ruoxi behind him turned her head away, unable to bear the sight.

  Wu Rui was shocked by Lei's words, feeling both embarrassed and flattered at the same time.

  "Kid, Yang Xuan is indeed a rare beauty, but after all, she's still a widow. Isn't your taste a bit too heavy? Liu Tianbao asked again with a fierce tone, but then added: "However, to be honest, such a rare beauty, plus having a huge fortune, if you can marry her, it would indeed save you from struggling for eight lifetimes."

  "Second brother, no matter what she says, she is still your sister-in-law. You don't have to respect her, but how can you be so rude?" Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but intervene and reprimand him.

  "Eldest sister-in-law? I don't have such an eldest sister-in-law, little sister you'd better not forget that big brother was killed by this woman! And look at her, she's not loyal to big brother at all, just three years after big brother died and she's already thinking of someone else! Still wants to eat tender grass with old oxen, flirting with young pretty faces! If big brother knew in the underworld, he would definitely crawl out of his grave!" Liu Tianbao was very agitated.

  Liu Ruoxi fell silent for a moment, her thoughts drifting back to three years ago.

  Three years ago, Liu Tianjun, the eldest young master of the Liu family, suddenly fell critically ill and died. The cause of his death remains unknown to this day, with various rumors circulating, but the widely spread reason is that he was killed by his wife.

  This is a very absurd reason, but it's rumored to be true. Adding that the Liu family wants to maintain their reputation, and some people are secretly pushing the waves, Yang Xiang's ridiculous words about killing Liu Tianjun become 'true', and in the end, Yang Xiang and her mother were driven out of the Liu family, causing a huge stir in the Goose City aristocratic circle.

  Yang Xuan thought this matter had long been buried in the past, but unexpectedly today she ran into someone from the Liu family, directly stirring up painful memories. Tears had already begun to fall silently from the corners of her eyes, but Yang Xuan had long since learned to be strong and was no longer the little girl who loved to cry and throw tantrums. Although tears fell, she persisted in not crying out loud, not even a sob.

  "This is utter nonsense! Xiaomi's father clearly died of congenital deficiency, it's highly likely that he was damaged in the womb and fell ill, now you're putting all the blame on a woman? This is the way of the Liu family? Ridiculous! And who says that a widow remarrying is disloyal? Guarding her husband for three years isn't enough?" Wu Rui exclaimed angrily.

  "You... you said my brother died of illness? You said he was injured in his mother's womb? You'd better make yourself clear, otherwise the Liu family will never let you off!" Liu Tianbao glared at Wu Rui with red eyes. Liu Tianjun actually died of illness, and most people knew that, but the divine doctor and forensic doctor couldn't find out what happened, which pushed Yang Xuan to the forefront of the storm.

  Who would have thought that three years later today, someone would reveal the cause of Big Brother's death, how could Liu Tianbao remain calm and unruffled.

  At this time, Liu Ruoxi also shifted her gaze to Wu Rui, her phoenix eyes shining brightly. She started to feel a sense of familiarity upon hearing Wu Rui's voice. With the help of the dim light, she took a closer look and finally recalled the figure in the long gown with long hair from half a month ago. She was somewhat shocked and asked: "You... are you Doctor Wu?"

  Who would have thought that the rustic and unrefined young man from half a month ago was now standing in front of her with such a handsome appearance, bringing her quite a shock. Moreover, the other party seemed to be the husband of her former sister-in-law, this information was a bit too much, leaving Liu Ruoxi's head still dizzy.

  "How dare you!" Wu Rui's tone was a bit choked, Liu Tianbao's overbearing attitude made his impression of this Liu Ruoxi suddenly become very bad, the impression of that polite and gentle lady from half a month ago also became vague.

  "Little sister, do you know this kid?" Liu Tianbao asked with some surprise from beside her.

  Liu Ruoxi's expression changed slightly, and she reminded Liu Tianbao with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Second brother, show some respect to Wu Shen Yi!"

  "Liu Tianbao snorted coldly, displeased that Xiao Mei was speaking up for an outsider. However, he didn't dare to offend this formidable little sister either, so he could only tactfully remind her: 'Xiao Mei, I don't care about any divine doctor or mediocre doctor, but you mustn't forget our mission this time - it's not here for you to reminisce!'"

  “……” Liu Ruoxi heard the words and wanted to say something, but in the end she fell silent. In the Liu family, her own will couldn't decide anything, she could only secretly decide to protect Wu Rui. Firstly, he was a partner of her sister, Liu Ruoxi didn't want her sister to have a hard time; secondly, such a great doctor, she really didn't want to offend him.

  Medical skills can save lives, but they can also take lives. Wu Rui may not have fully spread his wings yet, but in the near future, when people with wealth and power all over the country or even the world receive favors from Wu Rui, a simple sentence from Wu Rui might be enough to destroy the Liu family. The Liu family doesn't need to offend someone with such potential just for the sake of saving face.

  Seeing the little sister's silent compromise, Liu Tianbao smiled proudly and then cast his gaze on Yang Xiang and Wu Rui, saying: "Yang Xiang, you should be very clear that once you become a daughter-in-law of the Liu family, even if you have been driven out by the Liu family now, you will never be able to remarry anyone else. Even in death, you are still a ghost of the Liu family! If you know what's good for you, you should part ways amicably and not let your sister get caught in the middle!"

  "I'll marry whoever I want, it has nothing to do with the Liu family!" Yang Xuan replied indifferently, but in her heart, she was filled with sorrow. These were still her former family members, but in front of family interests and so-called face, they were so cold and indifferent. Rather than being rich and noble like this, she would rather marry into an ordinary commoner's family.

  "Is that so? Come on, give this kid a good beating!" Liu Tianbao flew into a rage and signaled to his bodyguards behind him to take action!

  This time, his mission was to stop Yang Xiang's 'stealing love', but he was afraid of leaving a bad name and couldn't take action against Yang Xiang. Liu Tianbao could only retreat and aim at the 'lover' instead. You're having an affair, aren't you? He directly used force to drive away the lover, which also achieved the same purpose.

  "Wait!" Liu Ruoxi saw that the situation was about to get out of control and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. However, she managed to block the Liu family's bodyguards but couldn't stop Wu Rui.

  "I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time!" Wu Rui couldn't take it anymore, took a step forward and kicked Liu Tianbao with all his might, sending him tumbling backward in an unexpected move, doing a complete somersault like a flipped turtle.

  PS: Some friends reacted that they can't accept the widow plot... Cough, actually, I haven't planned to make Yang a female lead for now, and there won't be any birth of a female pig's foot in a short time. At most, there will just be some small ambiguous atmosphere adjustments, don't overthink it.
