"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
"Nothing, Master," unable to admit his failure to identify the fake ginseng, which would only bring shame to his master. John also attempted to downplay the situation, saying, "There's no issue, esteemed Doctor Mo Fan," desperate to maintain his image as the future Patriarch and avoid any stigma from being scammed.However, one person remained unconcerned about their thoughts - Jaxon. "Doctor Mo Fan, your disciple here failed to identify the fake ginseng and even claimed it was a rare, 1,000-year-old herb worth 7 million Yuan. Meanwhile, the young master of the Xing family was wise enough to purchase the fake ginseng for a mere 1 million Yuan instead of the inflated price..."As Jaxon's words trailed off, everyone turned their attention to him. John cursed inwardly, "Piece of shit can't keep his mouth shut!" He shot Jaxon, who sat calmly, a hateful glance. Doctor Mo Fan, not wanting to waste his time on the drama, decided to move on and get the party started. He approached the patria
"Insolence! Fool! Nonsense! Is this how I trained you? I am deeply disappointed in my weak and fragile body, weakened by old age, or I swear I would have beaten you to a pulp! Do you know who you are talking to? Do you know he was my first-ever student? If you had just 0.000000012% of his talents, you would have gone far in life! You are nothing but a fool who knows how to make me lose face! And is this how a noble family behaves before their guests?! Insulting someone in such an unmannerly way! I am highly disappointed in you all!"The room fell silent in shock and confusion as Doctor Mo Fan, known for his gentle nature, roared with unbridled anger. Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, wondering what had just triggered such an outburst."Is there an issue?" the Patriarch asked, his voice laced with doubt. He was genuinely perplexed, wondering why Doctor Mo Fan was so enraged and who he was referring to as his first student. Could it possibly be Jaxon? That can't be possible... Rig
"Ah, John, please join us on the stage as well," the patriarch said with a smile, and John complied. "Ahem," the patriarch cleared his throat before instructing John to stand on his right-hand side and Diana on his left-hand side. "Now, I am aware that many of you have heard rumors about my family securing a billion Yuan contract, and I am pleased to confirm its validity. Today, I have called upon John to appoint him as Diana's assistant manager. I am confident that she alone cannot manage such a substantial contract, and John's experience will be invaluable in guiding her."Upon hearing those words, John initially wore an expression of disbelief, which swiftly transformed into one of pride. He surreptitiously gazed at Diana, his look conveying a sense of superiority, as if to say, 'Even if you have the contract, so what? Grandpa still favors me.'Diana, on the other hand, felt shocked, confused, and betrayed. She couldn't help but thought to herself, 'After all my hard work, they ab
"Piece of shit!" she hissed, grabbing Diana's hand and dragging her back inside. "Stay away from my daughter!"Jaxon didn't flinch at the insult, instead, he took a leisurely stroll away from the banquet hall. A short distance away, he entered a small manmade forest, designed for picnics and events. The tall trees blocked the moonlight, casting the area in a darker shade. Suddenly, Jaxon's eyes sharpened, and he dodged to the side, avoiding a fist that whizzed past his head and slammed into a tree. Crack!The force of the impact caused the tree bark to crack, and Jaxon's eyes narrowed as he turned to face his attacker. "Who are you?" he asked, his tone firm and commanding as he quickly took a fighting stance."Who am I?" the man in the shadows sneered, his voice dripping with cold venom. "Fools like you don't deserve to know me." He spat, his words laced with contempt.Jaxon replied calmly, his tone measured, "Do you know, you are currently in the Xing family territory, and you're t
