Chapter 8: Sister-in-law: I’m Really Not a Fool Anymore

Chapter 8: This Is a Golden Opportunity!


Wang Fugui, who had come along, instantly lost his composure when he heard Xia Hao say that Ye Fan had saved him!  


“Mr. Xia, you’ve mistaken someone, right? This is the fool of the Ye family—how could he possibly have medical skills to save lives?” Zhao Tianlong quickly tried to stop Xia Hao.


“Come on! Mr. Xia, you should have heard about what happened to the Ye family. You’re definitely mistaken, and it’s best not to get involved with the Ye family now!”  


Within a single day, all ten core members of the Ye family had fallen—this news was already spreading across the entire Great Xia, and it was no secret.  


Xia Hao carefully examined Ye Fan from top to bottom, then shook his head with certainty.


“I won’t mistake him! Five years ago, when I was near death, it was the divine doctor who saved me… But after these few years, how could the divine doctor turn into a fool?”  


Curious, Xia Hao shifted his gaze to Su Yixue, who was beside Ye Fan.


Su Yixue quickly explained,

“Mr. Xia, my fiancé was in a car accident five years ago, and his intelligence was affected. That’s why he’s like this now.”  


Su Yixue recounted Ye Fan’s situation in detail. Xia Hao linked the clues and nodded.


“That’s right. Young Master Ye was a genius and a prodigy—his martial arts and medical skills are both excellent. Based on the timeline, he was still treating me when he returned from his accident. There’s no mistake.”  


The Ye family was nearly wiped out, and seven gorgeous sisters-in-law had married the fool of the Ye family.  


This story was already becoming a sensation across Great Xia, with people mourning the fall of the Ye family but also praising those seven stunning sisters-in-law.  


Xia Hao never expected that the person who saved him back then was actually the youngest master of the Ye family.  


“Miss Su, it seems you’re in the pharmaceutical industry? Are you interested in cooperating with my Xia family?”


Xia Hao’s gaze burned as he looked at Su Yixue, and his words left everyone around stunned.  


What does he mean? Is Xia Hao planning to send a fortune as big as a mountain right to their door?  


“Ah? Mr. Xia, you mean… to cooperate with our Su family?”


Su Yixue couldn’t help but feel excited.


“But right now, because of the Ye family, we’ve been blacklisted by major partners. If we cooperate with the Xia family, those who are hostile to the Ye family will retaliate against us fiercely. The Xia cooperation might also involve risks!”  


Zhao Tianlong, nearby, was so anxious he started jumping around.


“Yes! Mr. Xia, going after the Ye family’s people isn’t something we can handle. It’s better to stick with our Zhao family—cooperate with us instead!”  


Zhao Tianlong was so eager he almost tried to drag Xia Hao away.  


He had painstakingly organized this banquet, spent so much effort, only to end up helping the Su family marry into the Xia family?  


Originally, he could have killed Ye Fan and smoothly taken Su Yixue into his arms. But if the Su family and the Xia family allied, they would rise rapidly to become Yun City’s top noble family. His chance of winning over Su Yixue would vanish entirely.  


“Hmph! What does it matter if I get implicated? If it weren’t for Young Master Ye saving my life, I’d be a pile of bones now—what does the Xia family have to fear?”


Xia Hao turned to look at Su Yixue.


“Moreover, Miss Su and Miss Yu Linglong haven’t abandoned the Ye family despite everything. What am I afraid of?”  


“Miss Su, it’s settled then! The Su family will become the Xia family’s only partner in Yun City. All channels of the Xia Group will be fully open to the Su family! Anyone who opposes us in the entire Southwest is opposing the Xia family!”  


Xia Hao raised his voice and declared his decision loudly.  


This unexpected turn of events left Su Yixue and Su Honghai, among others, stunned and somewhat confused.  


“This… I didn’t expect that fool to bring such a huge surprise to the Su family,” Su Minghao said, looking at Ye Fan with new respect.  


Everyone around looked at Ye Fan with envy!  


“Sure enough, the Ye family is still the Ye family, even in decline, their foundation remains!”  


“Yeah! Ye Fan was a prodigy back then—his skills are still impressive… I didn’t expect Ye Fan to have heaven-defying medical skills. Since he saved Xia Hao, he must have saved many other big shots too. That’s a huge resource!”  


“Miss Su Yixue is really farsighted. But I wonder, what will happen to those who are blocking the Su family’s cooperation?”  


Suddenly, the tide shifted—the attitude of everyone toward the Ye family changed.  


Although Ye Fan was a fool, perhaps the Ye family still had hope.  


What if, one day, Ye Fan suddenly woke up?  


Xia Hao finished announcing his decision, then turned and bowed respectfully to Ye Fan.


“Divine doctor, once again, thank you for saving my life all those years ago! Our Xia family’s strength is limited—it can only do so much. Please forgive us!”  


Though the Xia family was a superpower in the Southwest, Xia Hao knew that the behind-the-scenes forces involved in attacking the Ye family were at least the giants from Beijing—they were not something the Xia family could provoke.  


“You help my wife, you’re a good person! Big hug!” Ye Fan stared at Xia Hao, suddenly remembering who he was.  


Five years ago, before Ye Fan’s car accident, he had encountered Xia Hao in the provincial capital while traveling. Xia Hao was being chased and killed. He was severely poisoned, stabbed multiple times, and barely alive. Ye Fan saved him, saving his life, and even killed the killers chasing Xia Hao.  


Xia Hao survived, and in the years that followed, the Xia family soared.  


Xia Hao, feeling a bit regretful, hugged Ye Fan and patted his back.


“Sigh! Divine doctor, why did you turn into this? Don’t worry, you’ll definitely recover!”  


As soon as Xia Hao finished speaking, a faint voice sounded in his ear:

“You did well. I won’t treat you unfairly.”  


Huh?  


Hearing that familiar voice, Xia Hao’s body froze instantly, and he stood stunned in place.  


It was the divine doctor’s voice?  


“Divine doctor, this…”  


Xia Hao and Ye Fan separated, both looking at each other in shock.  


Ye Fan didn’t speak—just nodded slightly with a small smile.  


Xia Hao was completely stunned. The divine doctor wasn’t foolish? But then why was he pretending to be?  


Xia Hao was an extremely shrewd person. As he thought about the Ye family’s situation, he suddenly understood.  


Ye Fan was hiding his true strength, deliberately concealing his edge to avoid enemies’ pursuit?  


That’s truly clever!  


He could imagine—if Ye Fan weren’t a fool, could the entire Ye family have fallen? Could Ye Fan have escaped?  


Xia Hao broke out in a cold sweat, recalling that night five years ago. He had been chased by dozens of martial arts experts. Those killers were so skilled, yet they were easily killed by a fifteen-year-old boy.  


Back then, Young Master Ye’s strength was already terrifying—what level has it reached now?  


A genius with strength, ability, and strategy, who also deliberately hides his brilliance. It’s likely that the Ye family will rise again soon.  


Those who oppose the Ye family, those who distance themselves from it, will probably end up in trouble!  


And Ye Fan revealing his true strength to him—this meant Ye Fan trusted him.  


Vaguely, Xia Hao felt he had grabbed onto a golden thigh.  


Supporting the Ye family now and backing the Su family in the future—Xia Hao believed he would become one of the top superfamilies in Great Xia.  


Thinking of this, Xia Hao couldn’t hide his excitement. He bowed respectfully to Ye Fan.


“Young Master Ye, rest assured. I, Xia Hao, will do my best—no matter what!”  


As for Ye Fan’s identity, since Ye Fan wanted to keep it secret, he had his reasons. Xia Hao wouldn’t be so foolish as to reveal it himself.  


“Wh-what should I do? Mr. Xia, what about our previous agreement to cooperate?”


Zhao Tianlong jumped anxiously beside him, feeling like a clown…

Chapter 1: This Celebrity Just Wants to Study

Chapter 1: The Entertainment Industry Is Too Deep—Studying Hard Is the Real Path “‘When You Are Young’—the variety show is actually being filmed at our school!” “I know that show! Isn’t it the one where young celebrities come in as transfer students and they film their daily lives in middle school?” “I heard Xie Mu is coming too! I’m so excited—he must look even better in real life than on TV!” Celebrities are coming to film a show at the school? Pu Tong listened to the girls discussing by the roadside and found it somewhat amusing. To think he would run into people from the same industry on his very first day after transmigrating. Others might find it novel, but for Pu Tong—who in his previous life had already been a bottom-tier celebrity—this “celebrity world” was nothing new. After all, in this era, even random nobodies could become celebrities. Most of them were just unknown 18th-tier artists with almost no recognition outside their fan circles. Unfortunately, Pu Tong had been exac...

Chapter 2: Sitting at the Same Desk as the National Sweetheart There were noticeably more people lingering at the school gate than usual. Clearly, fans had rushed over after hearing the news. Looks like school life won’t be peaceful anymore. Pu Tong felt a headache coming on and quickly pulled Liu Neng away from the chaotic scene. “Brother Tong, there are so many fans!” Liu Neng looked around excitedly like someone who had never seen the world. “Uh-huh.” “You’re not even shocked?” “I am shocked. Totally shocked. Wuu wuu wuu.” Pu Tong deliberately acted overly emotional. Shocked? This? Although he had been a bottom-tier celebrity in his past life, he had at least seen the world. He had attended many events and witnessed plenty of crazy fans before—this was nothing more than a small scene. All he could say was: fan culture is terrifying. He rejected Liu Neng’s invitation to go to an internet café and instead went straight to a bookstore. The original owner of this body was the type who ...

Chapter 3: This Celebrity Just Wants to Study

Chapter 3: Don’t Give Me Any Camera Time. “Hello, I’m Yu Wanwan.” Pu Tong nodded in greeting, then immediately shifted a full 20 cm away from her. “…Do I smell bad?” the girl frowned. “No, I’m just afraid I might.” Yu Wanwan stared at him as he kept distancing himself, completely unable to understand him. It wasn’t that she was being arrogant. She had become famous at a young age, so she knew very well how much attention she would attract. When she casually mentioned choosing a seatmate earlier, everyone’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement—almost feverish. But this guy… He looked completely uninterested in her. That should have made him a perfect seatmate choice. But instead, the moment he moved over, he kept retreating like she was something dangerous. Yu Wanwan genuinely didn’t understand. “What’s your name again…?” she leaned slightly closer. “Pu Tong. Pu like Pu Songling, Tong like Tongguan.” He shifted away again. His right arm was now hanging off the edge of the desk. Damn,...
