Chapter 110 - Zhou Family's Eldest Miss

As Leng Xue finished speaking, Soong Hui's hostility noticeably subsided, but she still spoke with a tone of seasoned experience, “Young people today really have no sense of propriety.”

It was clear that Soong Hui was sarcastically criticizing Ye Hao for addressing Leng Xue by her first name.

“Indeed,” Ye Hao agreed, nodding. “That explains why I overheard you discussing cosmetics when I arrived. As you age, if you don't start using some makeup, you might soon find yourself with a face full of wrinkles.”

Soong Hui's face twisted into an angry scowl. “What did you just say?”

“Are you intending to impart some life lessons to me?” Ye Hao asked, swirling his wine glass nonchalantly.

Soong Hui was seething with anger.

The ladies nearby were struggling to contain their laughter, but they dared not let it out.

Laughing at that moment would surely put them at odds with Soong Hui.

“Cousin, he's bullying me!” Soong Hui cried out as she spotted a group of young men approaching. She stamped her foot in frustration.

At her call, Wang Fengyu and the young men made their way over.

“Are you the one who's been bullying my cousin?” Wang Fengyu asked, fixing Ye Hao with a piercing stare.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Ye Hao simply shook his head.

“You're too timid,” Wang Fengyu remarked, surprised by Ye Hao's apparent lack of courage.

“You're mistaken.”

“What?”

“I wouldn't waste my time bullying someone like your cousin,” Ye Hao replied, casually tilting his wine glass. “I'd rather reserve that for someone of Leng Xue's caliber.”

The crowd was stunned into silence.

No one had anticipated Ye Hao's brazenness.

He had not only insulted Soong Hui's looks but also challenged the entire Soong family.

Ye Hao was merely a student of Leng Xue's, yet he had the audacity to make such a bold statement.

Leng Xue's expression shifted.

She had always known Ye Hao to be bold, but she hadn't expected him to take it to such an extreme.

“Ye Hao, you're drunk,” Leng Xue stated firmly.

By saying this, Leng Xue aimed to suggest to everyone that Ye Hao's words were the ramblings of an inebriated man.

“How dare you call me ugly? Regardless of your background, I will make sure you pay for this,” Soong Hui hissed at Ye Hao, her face contorted with rage.

She was surprised that Ye Hao, a freshman, could diagnose her condition accurately.

“This could be causing your back pain during your menstrual cycle,” Ye Hao added.

“What should I do for treatment?”

“Traditional Chinese medicine would help.”

“Could you write me a prescription?”

“You're already taking Chinese medicine. I don't think you need another prescription from me, do you?” Ye Hao observed Zhou Wanqing closely.

“How did you know?”

“Of course, I knew.”

“What else can you tell?”

“I can also tell that you're currently on your period.”

Zhou Wanqing's face registered shock.

She quickly checked her clothing for any signs of blood. Finding none, she asked curiously, “How could you tell?”

“It's something you might not understand,” Ye Hao replied, avoiding the admission that he had detected the scent of blood.

“My condition isn't something that can be cured quickly with Chinese medicine. I'm experiencing back pain right now. Do you have a way to treat it?”

“Yes, I do.”

Zhou Wanqing's eyes brightened. “What can you do?”

“Stretch out your hand.”

Once Zhou Wanqing extended her hand, Ye Hao channeled a thread of vital spirit into her, which would ease her pain for the next three to four days.

By then, her menstrual cycle would have ended.

Zhou Wanqing looked at Ye Hao in amazement and asked, “How did you manage that?”

“I'm not telling you.”

“But you're just a freshman. How could you possibly know so much?”

“Because I'm a top student.”

Zhou Wanqing was at a loss for words.

Just then, two middle-aged men appeared on the stage. They gestured with their hands facing down, signaling for silence, and the crowd promptly hushed.

“Today marks the strategic partnership between the Soong family and the Leng family. I am delighted to welcome all of you here,” Soong Leji announced.
