CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 364: TWO MEN FIGHT

Ye Ningwan hung up Zhan Hanjue’s call, just as Feng Jiuzun was finishing his check-in.

"Who called you?" Feng Jiuzun asked.

Ye Ningwan put away her phone, "Nothing important, how did things go?"

"Of course it’s all done, but are you really sure? It’s been four years, her influence now isn’t to be underestimated." Feng Jiuzun cautioned.

Ye Ningwan scoffed, "So what? Even now or in ten years, I can still pull her down from her pedestal."

"You’re impressive." Feng Jiuzun gave her a thumbs up.

Ye Ningwan settled in the hotel, planning to head over early the next morning once Feng Jiuzun gathered all the information.

Unexpectedly, Xie Mingyu showed up the next morning.

Seeing Xie Mingyu, she was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, "You seem a lot healthier now, you’ve finally grown up."

After speaking, she affectionately patted Xie Mingyu’s shoulder.

Xie Mingyu felt a bit guilty towards her.

Though he never regretted liking her, and still harbored such feelings.

But thinking back to forcing her out with outsiders, he couldn’t help feeling remorse.

Upon meeting, he thought she’d resent him, and he’d accept even being slapped.

But Ye Ningwan’s words, with the tone of "my child has grown," seemed less hurtful yet deeply insulting.

"Ye Ningwan, I’m an adult now, can you stop treating me like a child?"

"Oh, grown-up, but adults don’t get flustered over a single sentence." Ye Ningwan teased.

Xie Mingyu clenched his fists in frustration, yet felt helpless against her.

After a while, Ye Ningwan finally withdrew her smile, and solemnly said to him, "Xie Mingyu, you know I’m still mad about what happened four years ago? Not just because you stabbed me in the back, but more importantly, I thought after all those years, you’d at least see me as a sister."

"I never saw you as a sister, I like you." Xie Mingyu insisted stubbornly.

Ye Ningwan replied, "But I told you four years ago, I don’t like you. Xie Mingyu, whether you saw me as a sister or not, I treated you like a brother, even more precious than my actual brother. But I never expected you to conspire with others against me. Fine, I’ll just consider my heartfelt feelings fed to the dogs. In the future, I won’t treat you as a brother any longer."

"Back then, I thought, you’d come to me when you were desperate." Xie Mingyu explained urgently, "Who knew you’d be so stubborn, choosing to leave with Feng Jiuzun rather than come to me."

Feng Jiuzun happened to walk out, and was angered by this, "Xie Mingyu, what do you mean? So it was better to leave with me than stay with you? What’s wrong with leaving with me? Facts show Ningning’s choice was right, and she’s been living happily these years. Unlike you, sent abroad by your grandfather, unable to decide anything for yourself, yet still chasing girls."

"Who said I can’t decide anything? Don’t you know I’ve taken over Xie Group?" Xie Mingyu retorted angrily.

Feng Jiuzun mocked, "Yes, you took over, but still lack any decision power. I started my own business; I’m far better than you."

"Bastard, how dare you insult me." Xie Mingyu was furious enough to fight.

Now healthy, even his temper was back.

Before, even when angry, he would just turn pale, never resorting to violence.

Because he was well aware of his health condition.

Fighting was something he couldn’t easily do.

Back then, it would be either Tingyu or Wangyue stepping in at his command.

Ye Ningwan hadn’t expected this evolution from him, leaving her somewhat stunned.

However, she quickly crossed her arms, watching with interest as he fought Feng Jiuzun.

Feng Jiuzun was also a bit taken aback, hurriedly dodging, "Ningning, you saw it, he started it. I feel like I’m taking advantage by hitting someone like him."

"Feng Jiuzun, if you have the guts, fight him one-on-one, don’t just talk big." Xie Mingyu angrily challenged.

Shangxue, seeing this, rushed forward to stop them, only to be shoved aside by Xie Mingyu.

"Get out of the way."

"Shangxue, let him be, don’t stop him."

Ye Ningwan held back the still eager Shangxue.

Shangxue stumbled slightly, almost twisting her foot.

Upset and anxious, her eyes turned red.

"Miss Ye, why are you holding me back? You know Master has never fought growing up."

"That’s why he should fight once, or how can he be considered a man." Ye Ningwan enjoyed the spectacle.

Shangxue was almost frantic.

"What if he gets hurt?"

"Did you forget I’m a doctor? If he gets hurt, I’m here." Ye Ningwan said with a smile.

Shangxue’s vision darkened in frustration.

Meanwhile, Feng Jiuzun saw Ye Ningwan wasn’t stopping them, so he really fought Xie Mingyu.

Unexpectedly, with Xie Mingyu’s health improved, they were evenly matched.

Ye Ningwan watched nearby, observing the fight till it seemed enough, then let go of Shangxue to separate the two.

"Seems like you’re really healthy now, I’ve finally fulfilled my master’s last wish."

Looking at the bruised and battered Xie Mingyu, Ye Ningwan was filled with emotion.

Shangxue saw Xie Mingyu’s face, both blue and red, and was heartbroken, tearfully asking, "Master, are you okay!"

"Of course I’m fine." Xie Mingyu said irately.

He thought fighting would vent his anger, but it only intensified.

Especially hearing Ye Ningwan’s words, he felt even more stifled.

"Ye Ningwan, to you, am I just your master’s last wish? If it weren’t for him, would you not care if I lived or died?"

"What else did you think?" Ye Ningwan replied, "You can’t even win against Feng Jiuzun, besides Shangxue treating you like a treasure, which woman would value you?"

"Ye Ningwan, you’ve gone too far." Xie Mingyu accused.

Ye Ningwan maintained a stern face, her voice cold, "Xie Mingyu, do you know why I held back Shangxue? Just to watch you get beaten up, I can’t be so magnanimous as to forget what happened four years ago. So not only do I not like you, I find you insufferable. But I healed you myself, I can’t personally harm you; Feng Jiuzun was venting for me."

"Fine, I understand, I won’t ever like you again." Xie Mingyu said, storming off.

"Master."

Shangxue quickly chased after him.

After they left, Feng Jiuzun, holding his injured face from the tussle, frowned and said, "You did it on purpose! Purposefully disgusted him so he’d give up on you."

"Feng Jiuzun, you’re really clever!"

Ye Ningwan first showed a surprised expression, then raised a thumb, laughing in praise.

Feng Jiuzun’s mouth twitched.

Indeed, he was just a tool.

Oh well, he enjoyed it.
