Chapter 28 The Arrogant Old Master! He's infuriating!
Seeing her sudden strong reaction, Aunt Chen was startled: "Madam, what's wrong?"

Madam Yu looked at Aunt Chen, opened her mouth, but dared not speak.

My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.

No...I won't...

Jiang Li would never associate with the Qin family.

Otherwise, even if she had the slightest connection, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state in the entertainment industry.

Besides, Jiang Li himself said that he didn't know these people.

Aunt Chen, unaware of her thoughts, noticed her pale face and cautiously asked, "Madam, Jiang Li went to the old master's ward. Shall we go and see him?"

Madam Yu came to her senses.

Yes, nothing is more important than her son's wedding right now.

She absolutely wouldn't stand by and watch Jiang Li get the shares and smoothly marry into the Yu family!

This engagement must be called off today!
Madam Yu's thoughts returned, and she immediately strode out: "Let's go take a look."

The master and servant returned to the VIP ward floor.

Mrs. Yu stood at the door of Mr. Yu's ward, looking inside through the small window in the door.

In the ward.

Grandpa Yu leaned against the headboard, snorted, and said with dissatisfaction, "You've been back for so many days, and only now do you think of coming to see me?"

"I've been busy, haven't I?" Jiang Li's lips curled slightly. "How are you feeling?"

She leaned casually against the foot of the bed, one long leg slightly bent.

The nonchalant air between his brows had subsided considerably, replaced by a touch of respect.

Old Yu sighed: "It's an old problem. As you get older, you can't avoid all sorts of health issues, big and small."

Jiang Li took two white medicine bottles out of his pocket and handed them to the old man.

The medicine bottle was very ordinary, pure white, and the plastic body was very thin.

It seems that because it was carried around, it has a few scratches.

It exudes a cheap vibe no matter how you look at it.

It doesn't seem like a proper medicine.

It looks like it was bought from some con artist at a street stall.

Old Yu was taken aback, his gaze falling on the unmarked medicine bottle: "What is this?"

Jiang Li tilted her head and said casually, "I got this from a friend. It's a traditional Chinese medicine for you, kind of like a health supplement. I'll get you more after you finish this."

"Where did you get a friend who can make traditional Chinese medicine?" Old Yu looked at her worriedly and said earnestly, "Lili, be careful not to be scammed."

He knew that people from Xia sometimes resorted to desperate measures when they were sick, and would look for folk remedies from small places.

These folk remedies aren't cheap either.

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes slightly: "She seems pretty reliable. She took a lot of money from me. If she's useless, I'll just smash her signboard."

Old Yu: "..."

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Jiang Li simply took it back: "Forget it, we can make it within seven days with no reason to return it."

"Who said I don't want it!" Old Yu quickly snatched it from her hands, holding a bottle in each hand like a precious treasure: "There's no reason to take back something you've given away."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and clicked her tongue: "I also added a cent for shipping insurance, but I won't need it. It's a bit of a waste."

Old Yu's lips twitched involuntarily: "..."

Jiang Li raised his chin towards the medicine: "Take three pills morning and night."

Old Yu unscrewed the bottle cap, and a strong, bitter smell of Chinese medicine wafted out. He said, "If you really care about this old man, hurry up and give me a great-grandson so that I can see four generations of my Yu family under one roof before I die."

“That works too.” Jiang Li nodded.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Yu's eyes lit up instantly: "Then Grandpa will immediately have someone arrange your wedding with Xuanchen. Do you prefer a traditional Chinese style or..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw half a piece of vibrant green jade pendant placed on the quilt in front of him.

The smile that had just appeared on Old Yu's lips froze on his face.

Outside the door, Madam Yu saw Jiang Li finally take out the engagement jade pendant and excitedly clenched her fingers.

Jiang Li turned her head to look directly at Grandpa Yu, her voice low and deep: "Grandpa Yu, Yu Xuanchen and I are not suitable, so I won't stop you from having a grandson."

Want to call off the engagement?
Old Master Yu's voice turned cold: "Did he make you angry?"

Jiang Li shook her head.

"I've heard that he's been getting close to your sister lately. Don't worry, I'll handle this matter and make sure they don't offend your eyes." Old Yu's face was devoid of any smile, his lips were downturned, and he was clearly angry.

Jiang Li's lips twitched slightly.

"I'll call that bastard over here right now and make him apologize to you!" Old Yu picked up his phone.

"Grandpa Yu," Jiang Li called out to him, unusually serious.

Grandpa Yu paused his phone call, looked at her for a moment, and asked with a kind and patient expression, "Then tell Grandpa, why do you want to break off the engagement?"

Jiang Li stood up straight and went to pour a glass of warm water.

She said in her usual casual tone, "There's no reason why it's inappropriate. You should take good care of yourself and not get upset."

Jiang Li handed the water forward.

Old Yu frowned slightly, took the water, pondered for a few seconds, still unwilling to give up, and advised with a kind face: "Lili, I know my grandson may not be good enough for you, but he is quite promising. He has achieved some results as soon as he joined the company. Please give him a chance."

Jiang Li didn't speak, her wrist resting on the handrail at the foot of the bed, her fingertips tapping lightly.

Silence fell over the ward.

Although Mr. Yu and Jiang Li did not spend much time together, he could discern some of Jiang Li's personality traits.

Once she makes a decision, there's basically no room for negotiation.

A long while passed.

Grandpa Yu sighed and smiled regretfully: "It seems that my grandson really is not blessed."

Jiang Li laughed, whether in self-deprecation or sarcasm, it was hard to tell: "Only you consider me a blessing."

“There will be other people in the future,” Grandpa Yu said solemnly, handing the jade pendant back to her. “Once something is given away, Grandpa will not take it back.”

"Grandpa Yu, I really am not suitable for Yu Xuanchen." Jiang Li said helplessly. "If you are not suitable for him, then let him get lost." Grandpa Yu took Jiang Li's hand, placed the jade pendant in her palm, and said slowly, "Do you think it is appropriate for you to be my goddaughter?"

Jiang Li: "..."

Grandpa Yu looked at her and said weakly, "Grandpa is so old, please grant Grandpa this little wish."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow: "Alright."

Grandpa Yu was overjoyed and instantly perked up: "Once Grandpa is discharged from the hospital, let's pick a good day and have a formal banquet."

A huge weight was finally lifted from Madam Yu's heart.

Her son can finally get rid of Jiang Li.

Mrs. Yu was so overjoyed at the annulment of the engagement that she couldn't calm down for a long time, and even the pain in her hand didn't hurt as much anymore.

When she came to her senses and was about to leave...

The ward door suddenly opened, and Jiang Li walked out.

Madam Yu was taken aback.

Jiang Li's face was completely covered by a mask and a black baseball cap. He exuded a powerful aura, his eyes fixed straight ahead as he walked past her at a leisurely pace.

Arrogance etched into one's very bones.

What Madam Yu disliked most was Jiang Li's arrogance.

It seemed as if nothing could catch Jiang Li's eye.

She held a press conference, amidst so many scandals, and remained arrogant in front of the camera.

She remained proud even after the engagement was dissolved.

What does she have to be proud of?

On the surface, it appears that she voluntarily gave up the marriage, but in reality, it's the Yu family who don't want her.

He has neither academic qualifications nor practical skills.

Did he think that because he had that face, he could turn his life around by following in his sister's footsteps and entering the entertainment industry?
wishful thinking.

Madam Yu glanced at her disdainfully and coldly warned, "Don't bother Xuanchen anymore."

Jiang Li stopped walking, her gaze unwavering, and simply chuckled softly.

Madam Yu was much shorter than Jiang Li, and standing so close to her, the overwhelming sense of oppression made her nerves uncontrollably tense.

This instinctive physical fear reaction made her face look extremely pale.

"Keep an eye on your own son."

Jiang Li turned her head away, lowered her gaze slightly, and lightly patted Madam Yu's shoulder.

The latter froze instantly.

Jiang Li's eyebrows curved slightly as she slowly continued, "You're not qualified to tell me what to do."

"You!" Madam Yu's chest heaved with anger as she stared at her, her eyes almost burning.

At this moment, Old Yu in the ward suddenly spoke up: "Yang Lin, come in, I have something to ask you."

Yang Lin is Mrs. Yu.

Jiang Li glanced at Madam Yu's thick hand wrapped in gauze, her smile deepening, and said slowly, "I wish your wound a speedy recovery. Goodbye."

Old Yu: "..."

Aunt Chen: "..."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he put his hands in his pockets and swaggered forward, completely ignoring Madam Yu, whose face was ashen.

That arrogant, godlike demeanor was so overbearing it could literally kill someone on the spot.

Madam Yu's family held a high position in Beicheng. After marrying into the Yu family, she lived a life of luxury and was fawned over by everyone.

Apart from Jiang Li, no one dared to be so disrespectful to her.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Jiang Li's retreating figure, her gaze filled with resentment, but she held back from lashing out because she was in the hospital.

Grandpa Yu called her name again.

Madam Yu suppressed her anger, withdrew her gaze, and reluctantly went inside.

She approached the bedside, her tone strained: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Old Master Yu lifted his loose eyelids, revealing a pair of aged yet sharp eyes: "Was the annulment of the engagement something you forced me to do?"

Madam Yu scoffed, "I forced her? Would she dare to complain to you?"

"Do you need someone else to complain to me about what you did?" Old Yu's voice was deep and solemn.

Madam Yu sneered: "Did she tell you that she made a deal with Chu Chengzhang: if Chu Chengzhang handed over the shares her mother left her, she would break off the engagement?"

Old Master Yu said with a grim expression, "These shares are rightfully hers. She is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, not Chu Chengzhang's illegitimate daughter."

"I thought you should understand these most basic principles of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame," Old Master Yu said, his tone becoming more serious.

Madam Yu understood, of course, but on the condition that Jiang Li didn't marry her son.

"Dad, it's no use saying all this now. The engagement has been dissolved." Madam Yu regained her composure and said, "Besides, you know better than I what kind of person Jiang Li is. She is not good enough for Xuan Chen at all. She will only drag our Yu family down. Xuan Chen is so outstanding. The one who deserves him is Chu Yan, not a woman with such a bad reputation as Jiang Li."

Grandpa Yu stared at her with his slightly cloudy eyes, without saying a word.

Madam Yu felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She cracked her knuckles and forced herself to say, "Dad, even if you don't admit it, what I said is true. You can recognize Jiang Li as your goddaughter, but she is only your goddaughter and has no relation to anyone else in the Yu family."

This is to prevent Jiang from taking advantage of the Yu family later.

Grandpa Yu paused for two seconds, then said meaningfully, "Remember what you said today, or you'll regret it."

……

Leaving the hospital, Mrs. Yu looked at the glamorous high-end brand advertisements for Chu Yan projected onto the building's screen.

Chu Yan's career has been developing better and better over the years.

I heard that Zhongzhou has already extended an olive branch to her.

If they could connect with the powerful families along the Five Alliances Avenue, the Yu family's status in the North City would only rise even higher.
