I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor, dressed in a moon-white ancient costume, walking gracefully towards them like a fairy descending from the moon.

Murong Lan was immediately stunned.

"Yueyue? You... what are you doing here?"

"Why can't I come? Is it because War God Xiao doesn't welcome me?" Hua Xiyue asked coldly.

Murong Lan's expression stiffened for a moment, but she immediately burst into laughter.

"Look at what you're saying. We were best friends back in college."

As she spoke, she walked over and took Hua Xiyue's arm.

"Yueyue, you and Ningning are both exceptionally talented women, so don't always act like you look down on each other."

Hua Xiyue said coldly, "She always thinks of herself as the only genius in the world, and that others should be grateful to her for being her supporting role."

Just as Xiao Yuening was about to speak, Murong Lan subtly shook her head, signaling him not to speak.

Murong Lan was excellent at handling such matters. Xiao Yuening suppressed his anger and led Chu Yang straight to Xiao Zhantian's study.

Murong Lan quickly changed the subject, "Yueyue, let's get down to business. I'm currently raising funds; are you interested in investing?"

Hua Xiyue looked over with some surprise, "Weren't you doing very well in Donghai? How come you're short of funds?"

Murong Lan sighed, "I was bullied."

She pointed to Qin Yan and Jiang Yun and introduced them.

"I made a bet with a guy. Our initial plans hit a snag, so this time we'll have to use real money to crush him..."

After hearing Murong Lan's embellished description, Hua Xiyue frowned slightly.

"Isn't this just a stubborn mule? He's just like the guy I met today..."

She also recounted the bet Chu Yang had made with her.

Murong Lan and Qin Yan and Jiang Yun beside her were laughing so hard they could barely stand up straight.

"I thought the guy who made that bet with me was already incredibly arrogant, but I never expected someone would challenge you to a medical skills contest?"

Jiang Yun laughed a few times. "Miss Hua, why don't we raise the stakes with that guy when you make your move?"

Qin Yan chuckled, "How could I be left out of this? If Miss Hua wants to vent her anger even more, I, Qin Yan, will certainly do my utmost."

Hua Xiyue is not a sociable person, especially towards men, to whom she has an innate aversion.

Seeing that Jiang Yun and Qin Yan's attempts to please him had backfired, Murong Lan quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Yueyue, actually, Qin Shao and Jiang Shao are both very kind people. When they saw me being bullied, they both took out money from their families to help me through this difficult time. But don't worry, I'm never one to let my friends suffer. No matter who lends a helping hand at this time, even if it's just a drop of kindness, I will repay them tenfold."

Hua Xiyue wasn't very knowledgeable about business, but the Hua family had accumulated considerable wealth over hundreds of years, so she didn't have a strong concept of money.

"No problem. Didn't Xiao Zhanshen put up 500 million? I'll put up 600 million."

Knowing full well that Hua Xiyue was deliberately trying to suppress Xiao Yuening, the shrewd and worldly-wise Murong Lan naturally wouldn't say anything at this moment.

She gave Hua Xiyue a big hug. "Good Yueyue, I don't know how to thank you enough. If that arrogant guy dares to come later, I'll definitely help you get revenge."

At that moment, a deep, resonant voice rang out.

"Lanlan, you really are here too."

Murong Lan looked in that direction, her eyes suddenly widened, and her heart skipped a beat.

The one calling her was none other than Chu Song, whose son had just died.

"Uncle Chu, you've arrived."

Chu Lang's death has not been made public yet, and she will not mention it in public, so she quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Lanlan, what happened that day must have terrified you, right?"

Chu Song smiled warmly, her face radiating the loving kindness of an elder.

Murong Lan patted her heart with lingering fear. "It's all my fault for leaving early that day. I still feel guilty about it now."

Chu Song gently patted her arm. "Silly girl, this has nothing to do with you. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Although Murong Lan was terrified, she did not show it at all on the surface.

"Uncle Chu, please just tell me what you need me to do. To get justice for Chu Lang, I will definitely..."

Before she could finish expressing her determination, Chu Song smiled and shook his head.

"Look at what you're saying. With such a heart, Chu Lang can rest in peace even in the afterlife. I heard you've met Chu Yang, and that Xiao Zhan Shen was apparently briefly engaged to him?"

Murong Lan knew that since they had already asked, they must have found out everything, so she didn't hide anything.

"That's right! Old Master Xiao made a mistake and arranged for Ningning to marry Chu Yang, but Ningning broke off the engagement in person a few days ago. Chu Yang was probably unwilling to accept it, so he chased after her to Donghai. Seeing that Ningning was determined, he then attached himself to the now-fallen Su family."

"I met him when I clashed with the Su family. And... he even made a bet with me that he would bankrupt me within a month. Now many of my good friends are helping me."

Chu Song nodded slightly and said, "That's indeed Chu Yang's personality. Just like his father, he's arrogant and doesn't know how to be grateful. If you have a funding shortfall, I can help you think of a solution."

"Thank you, Uncle Chu! I'll let you know if I encounter any difficulties in the future."

Although Murong Lan did not intend to use Chu Song's money, she was still happy to express her gratitude.

Meanwhile, in the study, Xiao Zhantian, with his white hair but still vigorous spirit, was staring intently at Chu Yang, who had already removed his mask.

"You dare to break off the engagement, and then go and marry a girl from the Su family?"

Xiao Zhantian was not only a powerful military figure, but he also saved Chu Tian's life back then.

From any perspective, Chu Yang dared not be disrespectful to the old man and quickly explained:

"Look at what you're saying. Actually, I..."

Xiao Zhantian waved his hand dismissively, "No need for further words! This annulment is well done!"

Chu Yang was stunned.

"Uh...you really think so?"

Xiao Zhantian sighed, "Since you don't like my granddaughter, I'll betroth her to Qin Yan."

Chu Yang's lips twitched violently a few times.

Isn't that ridiculous?

Should Xiao Ruoning be forced to marry someone else while pregnant?

Xiao Zhantian walked up to Chu Yang and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiaoyang, it's my fault for not raising my granddaughter well. I almost made you wear a green hat. I didn't understand why you wanted to break off the engagement before."

Chu Yang became more and more confused as he listened.

Xiao Zhantian pointed at Xiao Yuening, "My Xiao family also has its rules. Unmarried women cannot overstep these boundaries. Tell me who that brat is! I'll have him arrested and executed right now!"

Chu Yang stiffened and secretly glanced at Xiao Yuening, intending to exchange a glance and discuss a countermeasure.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuening pointed directly at him.

"Grandpa, it was him. He seduced you and then abandoned you. Kill him!"

Xiao Zhantian's eyes flashed with rage, and he roared, "It's you, brat?"

Chu Yang: "..."

"Wait a minute! Why do I feel a little confused?"
