Chapter 863: Chapter 0863: Dongfang Shu, the Spoilsport Consort
Upon seeing the middle-aged man who had suddenly entered from outside, Yan Qingdi’s eyes widened abruptly, his face filled with an unprecedented color of disbelief.
His reaction was as if he had encountered a ghost in broad daylight!
Dongfang Shu, at the side, took in the changes in both Feng Xingjiu and Yan Qingdi, her heart filling with confusion and incomprehension!
Neither Feng Xingjiu nor Yan Qingdi were ordinary people; they should have been able to control their emotions with ease!
But who was this man who had arrived so suddenly, causing Feng Xingjiu to assume such a murderous mien and Yan Qingdi to lose his composure in such a way!
"Lin Changfeng, why have you come?" Feng Xingjiu asked with a darkened face.
Lin Changfeng, Lin Zhennan’s son, the eldest son of the Lin family, the future heir of the Lin family.
Logically speaking, Lin Changfeng should be in the capital at this time, yet he had suddenly appeared in Jiangzhong City; moreover, he came to a hospital to visit Ye Xunhuan, could he really have good intentions?
Lin Changfeng glanced at Feng Xingjiu’s grim face and said indifferently, "I heard that Ye Xunhuan was injured and hospitalized, so I came to pay a visit!"
As he spoke, Lin Changfeng swayed the fruit basket in his hand in front of Feng Xingjiu: "What now, are you going to kick me out?"
Before Feng Xingjiu could speak, Dongfang Shu’s voice came through: "Mr. Lin’s arrival is an honor; why would Feng Xingjiu kick you out?"
With that, Dongfang Shu turned her head towards Feng Xingjiu: "Right, Feng Xingjiu?"
Although Dongfang Shu did not know Lin Changfeng, she had heard of him and knew that he was the son of Lin Zhennan.
She was aware of Feng Xingjiu’s feud with the Lin family, and Dongfang Shu stepped in to mediate, fearing that Feng Xingjiu and Lin Changfeng would start a fight!
Even if Feng Xingjiu and Lin Changfeng did fight, it wouldn’t affect her; she could simply stand aside and watch the show.
But Ye Xunhuan wasn’t dead yet, still lying here, and she was still keen to win him over!
If Ye Xunhuan managed to come through this dangerous period unscathed and learned about this incident, especially if he learned that she, Dongfang Shu, had stood by watching, then winning over Ye Xunhuan would not be so simple!
Upon hearing Dongfang Shu’s words, Feng Xingjiu let out a heavy sigh from the depths of his throat and gave a cold snort without saying anything further!
Lin Changfeng, however, turned his gaze to Dongfang Shu, and with a smile that was not a smile, said, "They say there’s a Widow Empress in the province of Zhonghai, and seeing you today, it seems the reputation is well-deserved!"
Dongfang Shu naturally understood the implication of Lin Changfeng’s words, which was that she shouldn’t have intervened in Feng Xingjiu’s confrontation with him!
But Dongfang Shu did not take it to heart and chuckled lightly: "Mr. Lin, you jest."
Lin Changfeng smiled and said nothing more, instead slowly shifting his gaze to Yan Qingdi: "Qingdi, it’s been a long time!"
"Uncle Lin, I truly did not expect to encounter you here!" Yan Qingdi replied with a hint of bitterness.
Although Lin Changfeng always maintained a refined and cultured demeanor, Yan Qingdi knew that he was a ruthless wolf in sheep’s clothing!
Moreover, the incident with Lin Qingyun happened while dining with him.
Even though it really had nothing to do with him, as it was all Lin Qingyun’s own doing, whether the Lin family would see it that way was another matter altogether.
Therefore, when facing Lin Changfeng, Yan Qingdi seemed not only somewhat restrained but also filled with caution.
Lin Changfeng chuckled lightly, "I just arrived in Jiangzhong City, and heard that the son of an old friend was injured and hospitalized, so I came to visit!"
As he spoke, Lin Changfeng’s gaze slowly fell upon Ye Xunhuan, "Young man, sometimes it’s better not to be too unyielding; otherwise, it’s easy to die young. Look at you now, lying here, right?"
After these words, Lin Changfeng let out a little sigh of lamentation, while both exuded a profound sadness, as if they were Saints themselves!
"Are you here to revel in my misfortune?" Little Jiu couldn’t help but speak out.
"If I say no, you’ll surely call me hypocritical!" Lin Changfeng, looking at Ye Xunhuan who lay motionless on the hospital bed, said, "I indeed came to take delight in the disaster, and by the way, to see how long this person can last before dying!"
The moment Lin Changfeng uttered these words, the atmosphere in the ward instantly became eerie.
Upon hearing this, both Dongfang Shu and Yan Qingdi widened their eyes in shock, staring at Lin Changfeng!
If Lin Changfeng initially seemed like a refined scholar, now he was like a soldier charging into battle; the sharpness and murderous intent completely emanated from him.
"Lin Changfeng, what the fuck are you saying?"
"What, Feng Xingjiu, you want to make a move on me?" Lin Changfeng slowly shifted his gaze to Little Jiu, with a trace of disdain on his face, "I advise you to stay calm. If he’s alright, you might have an easier time, but if something happens to him, even if the Lin family doesn’t touch you, you’ll still struggle to progress!"
"Qin’s family has only this grandson, and he’s the son of Qin Fenghuang. If he dies, what do you think the Qin family will do?" Lin Changfeng said indifferently, "I admit, the Qin family certainly won’t let bygones be bygones with our Lin family, but you are the root cause of this incident!"
"Everything has practically started because of you, the Qin family won’t let you off!" Lin Changfeng looked at Little Jiu with a hint of schadenfreude, "And you’ve been expelled from the Feng family. Even if you were still there, would the Feng family dare to confront the Qin family?"
Little Jiu’s clenched fists made a crisp crackling sound at this moment, the sound of finger joints popping!
At this point, Little Jiu completely wished he could slaughter Lin Changfeng.
"If you can’t hold back, then don’t; you are free to make a move on me!" Lin Changfeng spoke with a nonchalant face, "You’ve been a soldier, striking me would be easy, and I won’t fight back. I’m just not sure if you’d dare to strike?"
As he spoke, Lin Changfeng’s lips slowly curled into an arc, provocatively staring at Little Jiu.
"You..."
Dongfang Shu, upon seeing this, quickly stepped forward, blocking in front of Little Jiu, chuckling, "Mr. Lin, you really have a way with jokes. Why would Little Jiu ever strike you?"
"After all, you are a guest, aren’t you?" Dongfang Shu said with an innocuous smile, "Even if Little Jiu were to make a move on you, he would surely wait until you’ve left this place, right?"
"Otherwise, if this got out, wouldn’t that completely ruin Little Jiu’s face?"
Lin Changfeng’s previously laughing expression turned cold in an instant, "Dongfang Shu, you really aren’t simple!"
"What do you mean, Mr. Lin? I don’t quite understand," Dongfang Shu said with a feigned ignorance.
And at this moment, Little Jiu had also completely calmed down. He knew that Dongfang Shu stepping in at this time was entirely for his benefit.
If he really made a move on Lin Changfeng right now, the consequences could be unthinkable, possibly a repeat of the last time when Lin Wenyuan schemed against him in the hospital!
