"Uncle Su, please calm down. Qingyang has nothing to do with it," Yu Tian tried to explain. He could bear anything but wrong accusations on his kitten. But Uncle Su was a senior he respected and had to obey. So he came out of his character for the time being to answer politely to him.

    "Calm down? Calm down? I have only one son. He is my only remaining family. And you are asking me to calm down?" Uncle Su stepped forward and grabbed Yu Tian''s collar. He had let his son run around for quite long now, especially after he had almost lost him with that Jiang bastard''s son''s death.

    His son had stopped eating because Mr. Su would not help him investigate his real cause behind death. He had promised him in the end that he would get it looked into but he trusted Yu Rong enough to agree with her and her search party''s analysis. Moreover, if he sent anyone to probe into the case, it would be like stepping on Yu Rong''s authority, which he did not want to get into.

    He was proud of his son''s achievements as a business whiz but ultimately, he was a kid. How intelligent could he be to navigate this world at his age? Haizz, it was his fault for not meddling much and letting him grow by himself. He had thought that with the company of the two genius kids from Feng and Yu family, his son would do some good.

    If only he had cut his son''s relationship with that commoner back in the day, none of this would have happened. Yet, this guy in front of him was still defending that commoner''s daughter.

    "And, you are using just her name, is she intimate with you as well? This s.l.u.t!" Mr. Su raised his hand to hit Mei Qingyang.

    As bold and calm as she was, she did not want to upset her ''uncle''. She decided to be quiet for the time being and take it. She was sure once her elder brother woke up, he would resolve any misunderstanding they had. Plus, it wasn''t good to aggravate an already fuming person.

    "Dad!" Su Lang yelled from behind stopping his father mid-way.

    "Lang! My dear Lang, are you okay?" Mr. Su suddenly did a 180 degrees turn in his voice and manner and hastily stepped towards the bed his son was lying in.

    "Who I associate with has nothing to do with you. Can you please not hurt or insult my friends? Why are you here anyway?" Su Lang''s head was paining from the impact earlier. On the top of that, his dad was making a ruckus in a room with two patients together. He had never paid any attention to him until now. Why sudden interest in his life?

    "Son, I was worried about you," a hurt expression flashed through Mr. Su''s eyes. Mei Qingyang had no idea that her foster cousin''s relationship was this strained with his dad. She could not bear to watch it. It was like looking at her own past. Her parents had certain expectations from her too and when she failed to meet them, they took it out on her.

    But still, it was not her place to speak between father and son.

    "Young Master Su, glad you woke up! Police is here to take your statement. If I have your permission, I could invite them in," Mr. Su''s assistant broke the father son duo''s verbal argument, who were glaring at each other like two wolves ready to do a territorial fight.

    "What is this woman doing here?" Su Lang got angrier, a frown appearing on his face. He had not seen who all were present in the room till now, hence he was not aware of her presence.

    Su Lang''s dad, just like Yu Tian''s dad, did not remarry after his wife passed away. But who in this circle did not have a mistress or two? Su Lang happened to know that his dad had illicit relationship with his assistant and he did not like it at all. Which was also the reason that although his own assistant was a female, he did not want to look at her as more than an aide.

    "Lang, use some respect, she is still an elder to you!" the dad continued scolding his son.

    "I don''t care. I don''t want to see anyone, everyone can go out. Only Tian and Qing Qing get to stay, and Weixi as well," Su Lang passed the order. Su Weixi was the name of his assistant.

    "Never mind, it was futile to come here. We are leaving," Su Lang''s dad announced.

    "Young master Su, your dad''s health hasn''t been the best, he still flew all the way here. Please reconsider," Mr. Su''s assistant spoke up once again.

    "Impudent! Who asked you to speak? Am I talking to you?"

    The assistant quivered from fear. She knew very well that it was not her place to speak. But she had been really worried about her master and her master''s son. She knew she had been ridiculed by almost everyone for giving away her body to the handsome yet twice her age man. Many people claimed her to be a gold digger. But she needed to survive too and she genuinely liked the man.

    Mei Qingyang nudged Su Weixi to speak up for him. Since Mr. Su''s assistant was talking, she had the right authority to speak up on her master''s behalf as well. Su Weixi shook her head multiple times but gave in under pressuring gaze of Mei Qingyang.

    "Ahem, I am sorry Ms. Hu, but master needs some rest. Why don''t we arrange master''s and your accommodation in the meantime? Mr. Su, now that you have come to this resort, why don''t take this chance to unwind for one or two days?" Su Weixi adjusted her glasses and got into the secretary mood.

    Perfect professional answer! Mei Qingyang applauded her a hundred times in her heart. Su Weixi had invited Su Lang''s dad to calm down and have a chat later, even invited him to stay for a short duration, enough for the talk but not long enough lest it angers her master. She also politely pushed him out of the room for the time being.

    "Hmph! Another commoner and her glib tongue. Su Lang, you are my son after all. Are you sure you are not playing with your assistant?" Su Lang''s dad took a jab at him, smiling sardonically.

    Ms. Hu, his assistant was shocked from her master''s comment. He still thought of her a mere commoner? So, he was just enjoying being with a young girl, was that it? She hid her disappointment for the time being but she needed to talk to Mr. Su about their future together. No wonder he had never promoted her to his official second wife. Everyone in their circle knew of their relationship.

    "What are you guys doing, disturbing the patients like this?" Fan Ruyi had finally arrived! "I need everyone out, now!" she yelled at everyone.

    "Ruyi, let my friends stay, everyone can go," Su Lang clutched his head in his hands, the pain he was experiencing was splitting. But he still needed to protect his little sister. If he let her go outside, his dad would chew her out.

    Fan Ruyi clenched her fists, why were her friends so willful?

    "Fine, you guys can stay but I need everyone else out."

    "Ruyi, please take care of our brother. Anything you need, please let us know, we will arrange it all for you," Feng Yue''s charming eldest brother clasped the girl''s right hand in both his hands and pleaded to her. He had lines of worry over his forehead. They had just been waiting for Ruyi''s arrival for long long time. The both elder brothers were well aware of Fan Ruyi''s feelings for Feng Yue. They knew she would not let any harm come his way.

    "Eldest Brother, please do not worry, I will do my best," Fan Ruyi patted the hands that were holding hers and assured the guy that everything would be fine. She was almost similar to a miracle doctor for her friends, she even made heavily injured Mei Qingyang stand up in two weeks, what was this small head injury?

    "Thank you!" The guys left at once.

    "Hmph! This is not over Mei Qingyang, you will have to pay the price for taking advantage of my son," Mr. Su also left.

    "Bufan, take care of everything else," Yu Tian sent Yu Bufan out. He would arrange for the accommodation for the elders and investigate the whole thing.

    "So, who was behind all this?" Su Lang questioned while Fan Ruyi started working on him.

    "Can you shut up for some time Lang? Don''t agitate yourself. It''s a wonder that you are sitting here talking with your head split open. Let me take a look," Fan Ruyi rebuked the chatterbox. This guy could not rest or what?

    "Ah, come on, let me hear it. Who could be so bold to make this move? I hope it was not Yu Rong because if she was, she is gone," Su Lang yawned. He was being too casual about his injury whereas others present in the room were so nervous for him.

    "Elder brother, your dedication skills are the best. It indeed is Yu Rong. And to be honest, the way this is going, her plan is succeeding," Mei Qingyang smiled with a sharp gaze in her eyes.
