My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots Novel - Chapter 781

Chapter 781: Henchman

“Is he a powerful young master from a wealthy family?”

However, the other person simply reciprocated with a tactful smile. “A young master from a wealthy family is no longer enough to describe his identity. Haven’t you heard of the Xiao family, one of Emperor District’s Four Dominant Families?”

The other person was shocked. “Xiao family?”

Who would not know about Emperor District’s Four Dominant Families? How many movies had been filmed with the Four Dominant Families as their reference?

That family was the pillar of Camino’s military, political, and commercial entities.

It was not something that could be summarized by the word ‘wealthy’.

“Yes, the Xiao family. This is the second young master of the Xiao family. Aside from the family business, I heard that his personal property and net worth have already reached more than 50 billion.”

“…!!!”

Zhong Qianqian stood very close to the crowd, and she could hear most of the whispers that were being passed around. Her face was pale from fright.

Was she making enemies before she even returned to the Nangong family?

How did Chi Yang get to know such a person?

How did he get so close to the young master of the Xiao family?

How was Zhong Nuannuan so lucky all the time? How did she always have someone powerful to back her up whenever she got into trouble?

This was so unfair!!!

While Zhong Qianqian was complaining about everything from the heavens to the earth, Gu Mingzhe was dumbfounded when he saw Xiao Shenbin.

If he had known that Chi Yang knew Xiao Shenbin, he… he would never have allowed these two women to attend the auction.

Was this not obvious that they were ready to get smacked in the face like pigs on a silver platter?

Damnit!

Gu Mingzhe felt as if he had swallowed 100 catties of coptis chinensis[1]!

He could not understand why all the spirits from Heaven and Earth would pair him up with the two idiots, Zhong Qianqian and Huang Yuhan.

However, Huang Yuhan was busy chasing after Zhong Nuannuan as she attempted to stop Zhong Nuannuan from walking up the stage. She chased Zhong Nuannuan all the way to the center, so she did not hear the whispers.

Seeing Xiao Shenbin walk over clad in a custom-made suit, Huang Yuhan knew that this person must be someone reputable.

However, after taking a closer look, she realized that this custom-made suit… did not even have its own brand logo!

Since she was from a wealthy family, Huang Yuhan knew almost all the brands in the world since she was young.

Therefore, after observing Xiao Shenbin for a while, she realized that there was not a single brand logo on Xiao Shenbin. In an instant, Xiao Shenbin appeared to be a person of very low class.

However, despite being ‘low’, Huang Yuhan thought that the material of his suit looked rather fancy. She decided to find out from him in the future and use the least amount of money to make the most beautiful clothes for herself. Then, she would save the rest of the money to have some wild fun.

After confirming that the man’s custom-made suit was not anything luxurious—something that he put on to look pretentious—Huang Yuhan snorted. “What? So, you’re a poor soldier who can’t stand up for your piss pot, so you called your henchman [2]here? Look around, please. This is the foundation of Lijing Mansion. Do you know what kind of background does Lijing Mansion has? It belongs to the Xiao family, who is a member of the Four Dominant Families. Let me tell you, the relationship between us, the Huang family, and the Xiao family isn’t something to be underestimated. So, I advise you to not use violence against me again. Of course, I reserve the right to pursue the matter of your piss pot hitting me! Just wait for my lawyer’s letter!”

Gu Mingzhe was so annoyed that he wanted to slap her so badly. However, he remembered that the Gu family still had to rely on his aunt and lost his courage. He could only shout angrily, “Huang Yuhan, are you crazy?!”

Huang Yuhan was in the midst of the exhilaration of giving others a scolding. When she noticed that everyone’s eyes were on her, she took pride in being part of the Huang family.

Unexpectedly, Gu Mingzhe shouted at her. That shocked Huang Yuhan out of her reverie.

[1] Coptis chinesis is also known as the Chinese goldthread. Similar to the simile ‘as bitter as a wormwood’, the coptis chinensis is often used to describe indescribable bitterness.

[2] This is an untranslatable pun here! In the RAWs, Huang Yuhan called Zhong Nuannuan a ‘ma zi’, which is a crude term for a wife or girlfriend. ‘Ma zi’ is also a nickname for a chamber pot, or a piss pot… You get what I mean. Here, Huang Yuhan also referred to Xiao Shenbin as Chi Yang’s ‘henchman’, which is ‘ma zai’ in the RAWs.
