The Supreme Young Master

Chapter 29:

Li Meimei’s sarcasm immediately made Yang Ruoxi’s face turn cold. She frowned slightly, staring at Li Meimei with a frosty expression. “What do you mean? Didn’t you get enough of those two slaps last time?”

“Hah, who are you trying to scare? I went back and looked into your family history, and guess what? There’s nothing special about your background. Let me tell you, if you dare to seduce my husband again, I’ll tear your clothes off!” Li Meimei crossed her arms, her demeanor sharp and aggressive.

Zhang Hua stood beside her, holding Li Meimei’s handbag with an awkward expression, not daring to say a word.

At that moment, Qin Fei, who had been dozing in the back seat, pushed open the car door and stepped out. He gently held Yang Ruoxi’s slightly cold hand and said slowly, “Honey, there’s a dog blocking our way. Let’s just go around it. No need to argue with a dog; after all, it’s just an ignorant beast.”

“Mm, let’s go.” Yang Ruoxi didn’t want to stoop to Li Meimei’s level and turned around with Qin Fei, heading towards the entrance of the “Lingyu Pavilion.”

Li Meimei had been feeling proud, thinking she’d humiliated Yang Ruoxi in front of her husband again. But she hadn’t expected that a somewhat familiar-looking young man would come out and directly call her a dog.

Furious, she pointed at Qin Fei. “You! Who are you calling a dog?”

“Whoever responds is the dog,” Qin Fei shrugged.

“Hmph, now I remember you! You’re that useless freeloader, right? Keep an eye on your wife. Don’t let her go around seducing men!” Li Meimei snorted contemptuously.

She spoke with such confidence because she believed she had figured everything out.

Previously, when Sun Chuanxiong had intervened, Qin Fei hadn’t said a word. Instead, he’d only frowned slightly when he saw Yang Ruoxi being confronted by Li Meimei.

Sun Chuanxiong, as a seasoned official, noticed Qin Fei’s displeasure and immediately had Li Zhengqiang handle the situation. However, after returning home, Li Zhengqiang couldn’t figure out why Sun Chuanxiong had stood up for Yang Ruoxi. Given his limited social standing, he couldn’t connect the dots to Qin Fei’s involvement and instead assumed that Sun Chuanxiong had just done it for appearances—after all, a high-ranking official couldn’t just stand by and watch his subordinate’s sister cause trouble.

With this assumption, Li Zhengqiang reassured Li Meimei, which reignited her desire to humiliate Yang Ruoxi again.

Seeing Yang Ruoxi looking radiant today, jealousy flared up within her, prompting her to start with biting remarks.

However, Qin Fei didn’t take Li Meimei seriously. To him, she was just a small-minded woman who thought having a bit of money and a brother working in the city committee made her invincible.

Just as Qin Fei and Yang Ruoxi were about to enter the pavilion, they were stopped by a black-suited guard at the entrance. “Invitation, please.”

“Invitation? What’s that?” Qin Fei was puzzled. He had only come to see Wang Houde; why would he need an invitation?

“Today is the Lingyu Pavilion’s latest pharmaceutical auction. No invitation, no entry,” the guard said expressionlessly.

“I see. I’ll be back later.” Qin Fei took Yang Ruoxi’s hand and stepped aside to call Wang Houde.

Li Meimei saw the situation differently and sneered. “Officer Yang, you’re just a little police captain, and your husband is nothing but a useless scavenger. Do you two really think you belong at Lingyu Pavilion? This place is for Jiangcheng’s elite. Do you think you have the qualifications to enter?”

As she spoke, she smugly pulled out an invitation and handed it to the guard.

After checking it, the guard respectfully stepped aside to let her in.

Li Meimei smirked triumphantly and glanced at the black bag in Qin Fei’s hand. “Trying to pick up discarded medicine to sell, huh? Why don’t you let your wife seduce a rich businessman instead? I know a few wealthy old men. Want me to introduce them? That way, she can earn money for you, and you won’t have to scavenge like a beggar.”

Feeling immensely satisfied with herself, Li Meimei laughed heartily. No matter how beautiful Yang Ruoxi was, she was stuck with a useless husband who couldn’t even get past the entrance of Lingyu Pavilion.

Yang Ruoxi didn’t expect Li Meimei to be so vicious. She was at a loss for words and could only clench her lips in frustration, her face cold with anger.

Qin Fei, however, didn’t take it to heart. He calmly called Wang Houde. “Mr. Wang, I’m at the entrance of Lingyu Pavilion, but I don’t have an invitation to get in.”

“Ah, Brother Qin, my apologies! I didn’t arrange this properly. I’ll send someone to get you in right away. I’m on my way and will be there in twenty minutes,” Wang Houde quickly apologized.

“It’s no big deal. I just came to drop off the furnace. I don’t necessarily need to go inside,” Qin Fei said with a smile.

“That won’t do! This is my new product launch, and I’ve specially prepared a ‘Marrow Cleansing Pill’ for you,” Wang Houde insisted.

“Alright then, I’ll wait for you.”

After hanging up, Qin Fei saw Yang Ruoxi still looking upset and comforted her. “Don’t worry, honey. Li Meimei is just jealous of you because you’re prettier than she is. Don’t let it get to you. Come on, give me a smile!”

“Not in the mood!” Yang Ruoxi huffed. She knew that arguing with Li Meimei was pointless, but the humiliation still stung.

“Heh, don’t worry, I’ll make sure you feel better soon.” Qin Fei’s eyes gleamed with mischief, already coming up with a plan.

Hearing this, Yang Ruoxi’s mood improved slightly. “Forget it. Let’s just hand over the gift to Mr. Wang and leave. I don’t want to see Li Meimei anymore; she makes me sick!”

“Mr. Wang said he has a gift for me too. Let’s go inside and take a look. Besides, once he’s here, Li Meimei won’t dare say another word.” Qin Fei smiled.

“Alright, fine,” Yang Ruoxi said, a bit curious to see how Qin Fei would turn the situation around.

Soon, Yu Fei came running down the steps, apologizing profusely. “Mr. Qin, it was my oversight not sending you an invitation. I’ll make it up to you later!”

“Brother Yu, you’re too polite. I didn’t know about the event, or I would’ve asked for an invitation myself,” Qin Fei laughed, leading Yang Ruoxi inside.

The spacious hall bore a large plaque inscribed with the words “A Doctor’s Benevolence,” showcasing the work of a renowned calligrapher.

Meanwhile, Li Meimei assumed Qin Fei had gone to collect discarded herbs and scoffed, “Hmph, scavengers like him will never afford these miracle medicines.”

Zhang Hua, watching Qin Fei and Yang Ruoxi, felt even more frustrated. Seeing them together was suffocating, and thinking of Qin Fei being intimate with Yang Ruoxi made him furious.

As the auction began, Wang Houde’s voice filled the room. “Today, we are auctioning five new medicines. Each type is limited to five boxes, and they go to the highest bidder.”

When the topic of the mysterious ‘Marrow Cleansing Pill’ arose, a voice came from behind the screen. “Mr. Wang, can I bid too?”
