The news that the brothers Xiang Tianwen and Xiang Tianyin were trampled spread like a whirlwind, sweeping through every corner of Suhang!

Some who hadn't witnessed it, upon hearing the news, reacted with disbelief, thinking it was a joke.

But as the story was described in vivid detail and grew more exaggerated, people couldn't help but believe it was true.

Moreover, it was said that this time, the incident also involved Su family's recently returned young mistress, Mei Hanqing.

This immediately made people believe and begin investigating the matter.

Upon investigating, they were shocked to learn that the one who trampled Xiang Tianwen was Ye Xunhuan, the nephew of the witch Qin Rumeng.

All the families immediately warned their younger members: avoid Ye Xunhuan at all costs!

They did not want to provoke Ye Xunhuan, nor did they wish to invite Qin Rumeng, the witch, to wreak havoc on Suhang's spoiled sons.

Such news naturally reached the ears of Jian Yunong and Su Bingzhi.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yunong couldn't help but chuckle wryly. Ye Xunhuan was indeed a restless character, only targeting people with status!

Now, there's directly enmity with the Xiang family.

However, Jian Yunong wasn't too concerned, knowing Ye Xunhuan's identity and that the Xiang family surely understood what he did.

They definitely wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke Ye Xunhuan.

If they did provoke Ye Xunhuan, it could destabilize the Xiang family's position in Suhang, and the Su family might also act.

After all, two tigers cannot coexist on one mountain, and now the Xiang family is growing stronger, vaguely hinting at competing with the Su family. If the Xiang family fights Ye Xunhuan, how could the Su family stand by?

Moreover, the connection between Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing makes it impossible for the Su family to remain indifferent.

Su Bingzhi's reaction to the news was similar to Jian Yunong's, not taking it to heart, though his face was full of smiles.

"That kid, he's really arrogant, directly breaking Xiang Tianwen's leg. The old man of the Xiang family must be furious!"

As he said this, Su Bingzhi's smile grew even broader.

In fact, Su Bingzhi's tread wasn't heavy, but upon learning that Xiang Tianwen's legs were broken by someone, Xiang family members were furious beyond measure.

Especially Xiang Tianwen's parents and grandfather—Xiang Yuejin!

Xiang Yuejin, already eighty-three years old, had hair long turned gray, and a face wrinkled like tree bark, with age spots aplenty.

Yet, his body remained remarkably healthy.

A staunch advocate of health preservation, he estimated he could live another three to five years without issue.

Upon discovering his favorite grandson's legs were broken, Xiang Yuejin flew into a rage, demanding an immediate investigation to see who dared break his grandson's legs.

Upon realizing the perpetrator was Ye Xunhuan, nephew to the Qin family of the capital, Xiang Yuejin's face fell dramatically.

If it were someone else, it might have been fine, but it was Ye Xunhuan, Qin Rumeng's nephew!

Even if he wanted vengeance for Xiang Tianwen, he had to consider the capital's Qin family and the witch Qin Rumeng's reaction!

If he provoked Qin Rumeng, Xiang Yuejin believed she could dismantle his Xiang family.

Most importantly, Xiang Yuejin owed Qin Rumeng's grandfather a favor!

Now that Qin Rumeng's parents and grandparents were deceased, that favor naturally fell to Qin Rumeng.

If they dealt with Ye Xunhuan and provoked Qin Rumeng, Xiang Yuejin wouldn't know what to do.

Everyone knows that favor debts are the hardest to repay!

Even without that favor, he truly didn't want to provoke Qin Rumeng, given her special status in Huaxia.

Moreover, Ye Xunhuan isn't one to be easily provoked!

Thus, Xiang Yuejin had no choice but to swallow his pride.

Facing Ye Xunhuan is not a wise choice.

Unable to act against Ye Xunhuan, Xiang Yuejin vented his anger on Xiang Tianyin.

Previously Xiang Tianyin had provoked Yan Qingjun, embarrassing the Xiang family once. Now he's provoked Ye Xunhuan, leading to Xiang Tianwen's legs being broken!

This made Xiang Yuejin furious, contemplating sending Xiang Tianyin to the military to hone his character and train him well!

Beside Xiang Tianwen, an elderly man of similar age to him, sighed at Xiang Yuejin's unpredictable expression: "Old man, are you really sending Tianyin to the military?"

"What else can be done? Look at what he's become now," Xiang Yuejin coldly replied, "At this rate, the entire Xiang family might fall into his hands!"

"Old man, if I may be frank, dragon's nine sons are all different!" the old man replied slowly, "Even if you send Tianyin to the military, he's still a useless lump of iron; you won't forge a steel blade!"

"Thus, you will have to swallow your pride and owe others a favor!" he added helplessly, "Moreover, someone might not even repay it, knowing Tianyin's nature!"

Listening to the old man's words, Xiang Yuejin's face grew even darker.

He certainly understood Xiang Tianyin's character.

"Do we just let him be then?" Xiang Yuejin said with dissatisfaction.

The old man chuckled bitterly: "Old man, if you listen to me, cut off all his finances, and whoever dares give Tianyin a dime should be expelled from the Xiang family, forcing him to fend for himself, so he'll know the value of ordinary living!"

"Moreover, whoever causes trouble should clean up their own mess, and anyone in Xiang family helping him once should be equally expelled."

"This…" Xiang Yuejin showed a difficult expression.

Despite Xiang Tianyin's disappointing nature, he was still his grandson. Doing so would completely cut off Xiang Tianyin's paths.

"Old man, it's up to you to be ruthless!" the old man said blandly, "However, before all this, I think the wisest action would be to take Tianyin and apologize to Ye Xunhuan."

"I should apologize to him?" Xiang Yuejin's eyes widened, "Does he deserve it?"

"Old man, he does!" the old man earnestly replied, "Just by being Qin Fenghuang's son and Qin Rumeng's nephew, he deserves your bow!"

"Moreover, you know Qin Rumeng's nature; if Ye Xunhuan says something to her, how do you think Qin Rumeng would react?" the old man said bitterly, "Plus, Fenghua Group has a branch in Suhang; Qin Rumeng could easily make an appearance."

"If Qin Rumeng comes, matters would not be just about apologizing to Ye Xunhuan!"

Xiang Yuejin breathed deeply, "Rascals, dragging me into trouble with untouchables!"
