248 Two men Confront each other

Xie Yunjin asked Lu Jiao, “Did you tell them we live here?”

Lu Jiao nodded, “That’s right. I’m a doctor there. If I don’t tell them, how do they find me?”

Though Xie Yunjin wasn’t happy, he dealt with it silently.

Lu Jiao asked Lu Gui to bring them in.

Xie Yunjin slowly restored back to normal but the air around him remained a little cold.

Even Classmate Han felt it. After being friends with Xie Yunjin for so long, he could read his mood pretty well.

Why was Xie Yunjin this unhappy?

Wasn’t Dr. Qi the person who operated on his legs? Could it be that Yunjin was okay with Dr. Qi but didn’t like that Owner Zhao?

Just then, Zhao Lingfeng and Dr. Qi walked in.

Upon arrival, they smiled at Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao and greeted them, “We apologize for our sudden visit. I hope scholar Xie and lady Lu do not mind.”

Zhao Lingfeng was handsome, confident, and extraordinary. He was not just an average joe.

Classmate Han knew right away why Yunjin wasn’t happy. He was worried that the man was after his wife. Was that too much? Though Lu Jiao was a great person, she was married. No way owner Zhao would be after someone else’s wife.

Classmate Han then recalled how Yunjin got jealous after he exchanged a few words with Lu Jiao. It appeared that Yunjin loved his wife rather selfishly.

Xie Yunjin spoke first, “If you knew it would be sudden, why did you come?”

He truly didn’t want to save any face for Zhao Lingfeng.

The smile on Zhao Lingfeng’s face froze. He was the young master of the Yongning marquees and nobody’s ever slapped him in the face like this.

Beside him, Dr. Qi laughed, “Scholar Xie is joking.”

Lu Jiao sneakily pinched Xie Yunjin and gave him a warning look.

No matter how much Xie Yunjin disliked Zhao Lingfeng, he couldn’t continue this terrorizing. He forced a grin and said, “I hope you can take a joke.”

Zhao Lingfeng grew up being tortured mentally by his father’s wife all his life. He quickly restored his smile, “Scholar Xie truly reads. How funny.”

Then, without glancing at Xie Yunjin, he smiled at Lu Jiao, “Lady Lu, you’re getting more and more beautiful each day. If I saw you on the streets today, I wouldn’t even recognize you.”

Zhao Lingfeng’s words made Xie Yunjin’s face grow even colder. He stared at Zhao Lingfeng.

This time, Lu Jiao didn’t glare at Xie Yunjin, she glared at Zhao Lingfeng.

She knew he was provoking Xie Yunjin on purpose. No matter what, she was still Xie Yunjin’s wife by title and no man would be happy to hear another man say that about their wife.

Lu Jiao responded moodily, “Get to the point. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Lu Jiao’s attitude comforted Xie Yunjin. Xie Yunjin’s expression softened and he didn’t fight back.

Zhao Lingfeng didn’t dare to cause more trouble and said, “I am here to pay you a visit. And also here to tell you that Baohe Tang has officially moved from the Town of Qili to the city of Qinghe County. We are now located on rosefinch street.”

Beside him, Qi Lei explained, “Rosefinch street is not far from the osmanthus alley. Only two blocks away.”

By now, Xie Yunjin’s face was like a dark cloud.

Why did Zhao Lingfeng move Baohe Tang to this city out of nowhere? Why didn’t he move Baohe Tang before? Also, even if they did move Baohe Tang, why did they choose a location this close to osmanthus alley? They obviously did all this for Lu Jiao.

The more Xie Yunjin thought about it, the more depressed he felt.

Inside the living room, Classmate Han also felt like this matter was strange. It was true then, the men were here specifically for Lu Jiao. Or else the timing and location were far too coincidental.

The city of Qinghe County was a city after all and was large. The south part was an hour away by horse from the north. Without intention, it was difficult to run into anyone here.

For them to move their clinic to its current location was entirely for Lu Jiao. It appeared that this owner Zhao truly had some other agenda with Lu Jiao. It was no wonder then, that Yunjin was mad.

Classmate Han also looked at Zhao Lingfeng unfriendlily.

Lu Jiao noticed the atmosphere in the room change and understood why Xie Yunjin would be mad.

Xie Yunjin didn’t know about the businesses she had partnered up with Zhao Lingfeng for. Therefore, he questioned Zhao Lingfeng’s intention. Despite this, Lu Jiao didn’t want to tell Xie Yunjin everything.

She simply said, “I got it. If you ever need help with a very sick patient, you can come and find me and I will go over right away.”

Zhao Lingfeng however, shook his head and said, “I have another thing I want to talk to you about.”

He then glanced at Xie Yunjin to hint that he and Lu Jiao should talk in private.

Xie Yunjin’s face grew colder and colder. That man was obviously challenging him.

Xie Yunjin stared deadly at Zhao Lingfeng and had no intention to leave this place. At this point, he was just going to stay here and see what Zhao Lingfeng had to say.

Lu Jiao’s head hurt. She was worried that Zhao Lingfeng would say something to infuriate Xie Yunjin and cause a fight.

She lightly answered, “We can discuss it later.”

Beside Zhao Lingfeng, Qi Lei pulled on him and cautioned him with a look.

Qi Lei could tell that Zhao Lingfeng was purposely trying to make scholar Xie angry. He obviously could’ve waited and discussed this matter with Lady Lu at Baohe Tang later.

Zhao Lingfeng got the message and grinned, “I will go back today then. We can talk later.”

In the living room, Xie Yunjin spoke up, “What matter is it that you cannot talk about publicly? If you need something today, say it now.”

Xie Yunjin’s eyes refused to leave Zhao Lingfeng. He was determined to hear what this man had to say.

Zhao Lingfeng looked toward Lu Jiao, Xie Yunjin did the same and coldly hissed, “Tell him to say it. I sure want to hear what he’s planning on doing?”

At a time like this, Lu Jiao knew that if she persisted in Zhao Lingfeng to stay silent, it would look like there was something going on between her and Zhao Lingfeng.

Lu Jiao said, “You can talk. There’s nothing between us that we can’t discuss before others.”

Zhao Lingfeng smiled instantly, “I plan on granting 30% of Baohe Tang’s ownership to you. However, that would require you to come every five days and consult patients. What do you think?”

Lu Jiao knew right away that Zhao Lingfeng was cutting her a good deal. After all, they were partnering up for so many things that 30% of Baohe Tang was nothing.
