While Jaxon and Diana sat at the dining table, engaged in a heartfelt conversation, a different scene unfolded at a hospital, where a group of family members gathered, their faces etched with worry and concern. The atmosphere was heavy with tension as they discussed a matter of great importance, their expressions somber and grave.Earlier that morning, the Xing family had watched the news about the Lathwyn's family project, which was set to transform their city. Eager to explore potential collaborations, they promptly reached out to the Lathwyn's family. However, the response they received left them stunned and dismayed. The Lathwyn's family flatly declined their interest, stating that all available spots in the project had been filled.If that were the only setback, the Xing family might have been disappointed but not entirely shaken. But the intelligence gathered by their informants within Diana's company sent shockwaves through their ranks, leaving them reeling from the revelation.
"We shouldn't be fighting each other, rather, let's find a way out of this predicament, or else, if our competitors find out how we treated her, I am sure they will use it to tarnish our image."Just then, Anderson, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "I have an idea." His words were like a ray of hope, and everyone turned to look at him, eager to hear his suggestion."Since it is John and his parents who are the cause of this, why don't we let them go beg her?" Anderson suggested."Impossible!" Mr. John roared. "I, one of the elders, can never go on my knees for that lowly girl who goes around sleeping with men!""Anderson! Are you trying to find a way to humiliate me and my parents?!" John roared with anger in his eyes as he stared at Anderson fiercely."There's no way I and my husband will go and kneel before that girl!" Xing Yixuan added, her hand fixed on her waist in an akimbo style.Despite being stared at with such intense eyes by the father, mother, and son duo, Anderson
"Let me call cousin Xing Mang," he said to himself."My wife is giving birth tomorrow, so I took her to the hospital, I can't leave her side till then," Xing Mang said quickly as soon as John explained the reason for his call."But I thought your wife is only eight months pregnant?" John asked, his doubt evident in his tone."No, she is nine, it's just that the last month was hidden," Xing Mang replied with a straight face, his excuse sounding dubious.Who in their right mind would want to get on Diana's bad side after seeing that she had secured a contract worth billions of Yuan? "Son, were you able to contact someone to help us?" Mr. John asked, suddenly appearing before John after coming out from the ward."No, dad," John replied, gritting his teeth in frustration. "Those pieces of shit fawned over me while I was still in power. Now that I have encountered a small hiccup, they immediately abandoned me. Shit! The whole of Xing family are not to be trusted.""Indeed, this family is
"Trust me, I don't care if you're a man or woman; I treat each and everyone equally when it comes to beating." With that, he lightly squeezed her fist and made her yelp in pain before releasing her."Now, I hope you understand what I said. They are both asleep, so come back tomorrow." With those words, he shut the door under the furious gaze of the John's family.****"Who was at the door?" Diana asked after seeing Jaxon returning."Not some important people, so I told them you are resting and they should come back tomo..." Jaxon's words were cut short by another round of knocking.Knock Knock Knock."Sigh... Those fools don't understand English?" Jaxon muttered under his breath, massaging his temples in frustration before moving towards the door again.Opening the door, he was expecting the John's family members to bash him with insults or fists. Instead, he was met with a surprising sight."Don't you three understand English?" Jaxon frowned, looking at them with a mix of amusement
"I actually offered them chairs, but they were in a rush," Jaxon quickly intervened, "They said they were in a happy mood and came over to help, but for you, anything you need for the house." He said, turning towards the John's family members, "Am I right?" He asked with a smile, but under it, was a threat, his eyes gleaming with a hint of warning.Seeing the look of threat, the John family members immediately nodded in agreement. "Of course! We wronged Diana back then in the hospital by calling her all sorts of names, and we have come back to apologize. We hope you people can forgive us." Mr. John said, his eyes fixed on Weiwei Xing."Yes, that is why we are willing to get any sort of gift for you people as our apology gifts." Xing Yixuan added with a fake smile, her eyes gleaming with insincerity."Really?" Weiwei Xing asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She is someone who can easily be bought over by worldly materials, and so hearing that the John family will get her anythi
"Now look! The useless man wants to humiliate us, again!" Weiwei Xing finally burst out in anger, her face red with indignation."..." Diana couldn't retort, even she was left speechless, her eyes fixed on Jaxon's humble arrival."Sorry for keeping you people waiting, the traffic was kinda rough today," Jaxon said with a faint smile as he approached Diana and her mother, his eyes gleaming with a hint of apology."Hmph! Is that why you chose an old-looking car?" Weiwei Xing snorted in disgust, her voice laced with disdain, her eyes fixed on the taxi with a look of revulsion.Jaxon didn't reply, he knew that no matter what he said, she would still insult him, so it was better to remain quiet. He had learned to pick his battles, and this was not one he wanted to fight.Seeing how Jaxon ignored her, Weiwei Xing felt angry, her face reddening with indignation. With a cold harrumph, she let out, "I will be going first, Diana. Tell this useless husband of yours that he shouldn't do anything
Instead, he saw Jaxon looking at him with amusement, as if he had just seen a rare species of monkey exhibiting in his presence."I had the strength to force you back then, do you have it?" Jaxon asked with a leisure smile on his face as he looked at John, despite him sitting down while John stood, it felt like he was looking down on John which made the latter red from humiliation.Just when John was thinking of a way to salvage his dignity from this embarrassing situation, a voice laced with sarcasm pierced the air, directed at Jaxon. "I didn't expect the Xing family to be kind enough to allow such a downgrade man into this banquet. The Xing family are sure generous."Turning towards the voice, he saw Doctor Mo Fan's disciple, Jordan, walking into the banquet with an extravagant gift in his hand, dressed in a sleek white tuxedo suit. John's face transformed into a fawning smile as he hurriedly approached Jordan, eager to ingratiate himself."Ah, welcome, Doctor Mo Fan's disciple," Jo
"That thing in his hand is a dried carrot, not ginseng. It's been coated with ground ginseng to distort the smell of the carrot." Jordan's response was swift and laced with sarcasm. "Pft! Then tell me, oh esteemed one, how does the carrot have a root similar to a ginseng?" He posed his next question with a smug look, seemingly enjoying the exchange. But Jaxon was not to be rattled. "I thought you said you could understand things with a single glance? Guess you're fake, does that root look real to you?" Jaxon's smirk grew wider as he added, "That ginseng root seems to have been glued in an unnoticeable way to that carrot." "I choose to disagree!" An old man who was sitting elsewhere suddenly exclaimed, his voice filled with conviction. "With my ten years of experience running a pharmacy, I can boldly assert that this ginseng is genuine and of high quality. Young master, you are fortunate to have acquired it for over 1 million Yuan. If it were sold in a high-end establishment, I as
