Free Web NovelChapter 193: Chapter 193: Shameless Entanglement _1
In Yanjing Hospital, Jiang Long’s roar echoed through the corridors.
He loudly demanded, "What exactly is wrong with my son? Can he ever wake up?"
A doctor with gold-rimmed glasses approached, speaking patiently, "Chairman Jiang, please don’t worry. Based on our research, your son will certainly survive."
"It’s just... because the injury is too severe and has damaged the brain nerves, whether he can wake up or not is still uncertain. In the worst-case scenario, he will only be in a vegetative state."
The doctor’s words sent Jiang Long’s rage surging, and he slapped the doctor hard.
"Just a vegetative state? You speak so lightly of it, you goddamn quack!"
"Find someone for me; no matter the cost, I want my son cured!"
Jiang Long suppressed his rage and grabbed several of his subordinates, giving them orders.
At the same time, he asked, "What about Ye Ming, that bastard? Has he been killed by the Young Sect Master of the Poison Sect?"
His subordinates once again showed a difficult expression and said, "Chairman, Ye Ming is not dead. Instead, it is the Young Sect Master who died. His two subordinates were killed by Ye Ming, and as for the Young Sect Master, it’s said that he was burned alive."
"What?" The news that Ye Ming was still unharmed greatly angered him.
But, hearing about what Ye Ming had done, he felt relieved instead.
"He actually burned the Young Sect Master of the Nanjiang Poison Sect alive? That’s really too good!"
"Since he’s seeking his own death, we might as well help him along. Spread this message immediately, the wider the better. I want everyone in the world to know that Ye Ming burned the Young Sect Master of the Nanjiang Poison Sect alive!"
"If someone deals with Ye Ming for me, I couldn’t be happier!"
"Ye Ming, oh Ye Ming, do you really think you are invincible, that no one can handle you?"
"This time, I’ll see how you run!"
...
Not far from the venue, Lin Mengdie had changed into a new set of clothes, grooming herself carefully, now looking at her own reflection in the mirror.
One moment she was covering her face, giggling, and the next, she clenched her fists as if to punch someone, causing the people around her to be bewildered. What’s with this girl, has she gone crazy?
Little did they know, Lin Mengdie was reminiscing about the scene that had just taken place, feeling that she wasn’t so annoyed with Ye Ming anymore.
Just then, Liang Hao approached and asked curiously, "Junior sister, why are you here?"
"And, why are you shopping for clothes during such a crucial time of the Martial Artist’s Tournament?"
Lin Mengdie’s face turned red, too embarrassed to say the reason, so she quickly changed the subject.
"I’m fine, but brother, why are you here too?"
"How’s Ye Ming? Have you fought with him? Did you win or lose?"
She threw out three questions in succession, leaving Liang Hao unsure which to answer first.
He said in frustration, "It’s all Ye Ming’s fault, that guy is too cunning. I carelessly fell for his scheme, so I lost!"
Being knocked out by Ye Ming with a single punch was too embarrassing for him to admit, so he could only continuously slander Ye Ming.
Lin Mengdie sighed and said, "Is there really no way to deal with him?"
"After this incident, even if I go back now, I’m afraid the tournament will be over."
Thinking of her own marital arrangement, Lin Mengdie felt a sense of helplessness and dissatisfaction.
She had made up her mind to break off the engagement and had even made a rule about it with her family, but the outcome turned out to be unexpected, catching her off guard.
But what had happened had happened, and it was too late to change her mind now.
"It seems that this engagement can’t be annulled after all,"
Lin Mengdie pretended to sigh with resignation, perplexed at why her heart didn’t feel much resistance, and even felt a tinge of secret elation.
Seeing Lin Mengdie’s demeanor, Liang Hao couldn’t bear it and asked, "Junior Sister, are you really content with allowing a mere marriage contract to block your bright future?"
"What’s the use of being discontent, we’d better head back first," Lin Mengdie said, shrugging her shoulders with a sense of helplessness.
Suddenly, Liang Hao stood in front of her, blocking her way, and said with great seriousness, "Junior Sister, I know you definitely don’t want to marry that Ye Ming. How about this, I have a very good method that can help you break free from the engagement."
At these words, Lin Mengdie’s eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked, "What method?"
Liang Hao struggled for a moment, mustered up his courage, and said, "Junior Sister, my feelings for you are sincere. How about we get together? I will go and talk to your grandfather about it."
"We are childhood friends who grew up together. Whichever way you look at it, I am the most suitable candidate for you, and your family will surely have no objections."
After hearing Liang Hao’s words, Lin Mengdie’s brows furrowed tightly.
"Senior Brother Liang Hao, haven’t I already told you? I do not have romantic feelings for you, only a pure friendship,"
Her gaze even conveyed a hint of disdain, causing Liang Hao’s heart to wrench.
Still not giving up, Liang Hao continued, "How about we turn the raw rice into cooked rice? Then nobody would be able to stop us!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mengdie immediately became angry.
She said somewhat angrily, "Senior Brother, if you continue talking nonsense, I won’t associate with you anymore, never!"
After dropping those words, Lin Mengdie immediately left without looking back.
By her appearance, she seemed truly angry.
Liang Hao, having been rejected multiple times and feeling hatred born out of love, a trace of cunning flashed across his eyes.
He dared not speak further, but instead came over to Lin Mengdie’s side, speaking in a flattering tone, "It’s my fault, Senior Brother. I was too anxious for you, that’s why I resorted to such a low strategy."
"How about this, Senior Brother will treat you to coffee, don’t you like coffee the most?"
"If we go back now, the Martial Artist conference is already over. How about we have a cup of coffee before heading home?"
Lin Mengdie snorted and did not bother to pay attention.
Liang Hao said with a lowered voice, "Junior Sister, I know I was wrong, and I won’t say those excessive words anymore." freēwēbnovel.com
"To make amends, I just want to treat you to a cup of your favorite latte coffee."
Seeing that Liang Hao’s attitude was fairly sincere, Lin Mengdie did not have the heart to blame him any further and nodded her agreement.
Still, she warned, "Senior Brother, never say things like that again in the future, or I really will never speak to you again!"
"Understood, Senior Brother understands!" Liang Hao nodded hastily.
The two entered a corner coffee shop, and after they walked in, Liang Hao bought Lin Mengdie a cup of coffee and placed it in front of her.
Taking a sip of the coffee with its bitter taste and a hint of sweetness, Lin Mengdie’s mood greatly improved.
Just as she was about to speak and share her experiences of coming into the city this time, suddenly, a wave of dizziness swept over her, giving Lin Mengdie a bad feeling.
"Senior Brother, what did you put in this coffee? Why do I feel...dizzy?"
