The Hellborn Heiress​ - chapter 40

Chi Che laughed, “He used to sometimes see a Shadow flash before his eyes. Master Bo said he couldn’t see it clearly, just a Shadow swaying back and forth. He thought it was an issue with his eyes or his mental state.”

“Looks like all the medicine he’s taken these past few years was for nothing.”

Jiang Ci glanced at him, “Why do I feel like you’re taking pleasure in his misfortune?”

“Hahahahaha, of course not!”

He changed the subject, curiosity piqued, “Master Jiang, who’s the Little Ghost clinging to Master Bo? Is it his child?”

Jiang Ci mused, “Has he ever had a child?”

Chi Che replied confidently, “Not publicly, but who knows if he has an illegitimate child in secret.”

“Are you two really friends?”

“I’m just joking, isn’t it funny?” Chi Che grinned, showing his big teeth, and laughed, “Bo Hanzhou has never had a girlfriend, he’s been single since birth. If he ever had a child, I’d set off firecrackers for ten days and nights to celebrate. Unfortunately, he doesn’t like women.”

Jiang Ci suddenly understood, giving him a meaningful look.

Chi Che immediately caught her gaze, his face reddened, and he hurriedly waved his hands, “No, no, no, he doesn’t like men either! Master Jiang, don’t misunderstand, he and I just have a very ordinary, pure neighborly relationship!”

Jiang Ci smiled without saying anything, standing on the rooftop and looking around.

It was already the latter half of the night, and the entire villa district was silent, not even a trace of Yin Energy.

Jiang Ci frowned, calculated with her fingers, and her face changed color.

“A wasted trip.”

She turned to leave.

“The Little Ghost isn’t coming?” Chi Che followed behind and asked, “Master Jiang, will you come again tomorrow night?”

Jiang Ci replied calmly, “His calamity has been resolved. The Green Fiend Evil Child won’t come looking for him again for a while.”

“Green Fiend Evil Child? Damn, that sounds vicious. Will that ghost come next door to bother me? What should I do?”

Chi Che was afraid he’d attract another ghost.

Jiang Ci saw how timid he looked and smiled, “I have Peace Talismans for sale. Do you want one?”

“Yes, yes, yes! Give me a stack!” Chi Che didn’t hesitate to pull out money, “I want to plaster my whole house with them!”

Jiang Ci said, “A stack? Are you wallpapering your house?”

“Five hundred per talisman, protects you from disaster.”

Chi Che cheerfully handed her the money.

Jiang Ci didn’t carry many Talismans with her, aside from the one to suppress the Green Fiend Evil Child, she only brought a Peace Talisman for herself, just in case.

Since the Green Fiend Evil Child wouldn’t be coming, she decided to sell it to Doctor Chi.

Chi Che took the Peace Talisman, folded into a triangle, and treasured it in his pocket.

A Master Jiang Peace Talisman gave him more security than carrying a kitchen knife.

Afterwards, Chi Che drove her home.

Jiang Family.

Jiang Shou’s whole family was standing at the door, even the paralyzed Jiang Fu was wheeled out.

All of them craned their necks, faces full of anticipation.

Seeing a small car approach, Ye Shuhua called out excitedly, “Is the Little Divine Doctor here?”

Jiang Shou’s old face was full of smiles, respectfully coming over to open the car door himself, “Little Miracle Doctor Su has come from afar…”

Before he could finish, he saw Jiang Ci’s cold, indifferent face, and his smile instantly faded.

When they realized the person getting out of the car wasn’t Su Ningxue, but Jiang Ci, the whole family’s expressions changed.

“Jiang Ci? When did you sneak out?” Ye Shuhua said angrily, “You’ve grown bold, haven’t you? Now you’re learning to spend the night out with some wild man!”

“Madam Jiang, please be reasonable. What do you mean by wild man? When did I become a wild man?”
Chi Che also got out of the car, looking at everyone coldly.

He had already investigated Jiang Ci’s background yesterday, so he naturally knew what had happened to her in the Jiang Family.

At first, he thought outsiders were exaggerating, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, the Jiang Family truly didn’t welcome Master Jiang.

Master Jiang had a fierce personality and tough methods, and when faced with the rude and unreasonable Jiang Family members, wasn’t it only natural she’d want to beat them up?

This Madam Jiang, even with one eye already blind, still hadn’t learned her lesson.

Wasn’t she afraid Master Jiang would poke out her only remaining eye?

“You are…” Ye Shuhua looked at Chi Che, finding him somewhat familiar, but couldn’t recall who he was for a moment.

Jiang Wan whispered a reminder, “Mommy, he’s Chi Che, the young master of the Chi Family. He works at the psychiatric hospital in Jiangbei.”

“So it’s Young Master Chi. I thought Xiao Ci had brought home some dubious man,” Ye Shuhua said with a polite smile.

The Chi Family was a renowned medical family in Jiangbei. Although they couldn’t compare to the Longcheng Su Family, they still held significant influence in Jiangbei, especially Elder Chi, who was a leading figure in Jiangbei’s medical community.

Unfortunately, Chi Che was the only one who didn’t live up to expectations.

After graduating from Harvard Medical School, he actually humbled himself to work at a psychiatric hospital in Jiangbei, nearly angering his grandfather into a heart attack.

But judging by the situation, Jiang Ci was probably cured by him, so he did have some skills.

But… when did these two get to know each other? She didn’t even know about it?

Ye Shuhua’s probing gaze shifted between the two of them.

Seeing that Jiang Ci had no intention of explaining, Chi Che simply entered the house and casually found an excuse: “I just happened to give Master Jiang a ride home.”

“Master Jiang?” Jiang Wan keenly caught the key point. “Why does Young Master Chi call her Master Jiang? What’s your relationship?”

Everyone looked at him.

Only then did Chi Che realize that the Jiang Family probably didn’t know Jiang Ci’s secret at all.

“Ahem, I was just joking. I’m actually just Miss Jiang’s doctor.”

Ye Shuhua glared at him resentfully.

She knew it-Jiang Ci suddenly becoming smart must have something to do with Chi Che.

This good-for-nothing really was meddlesome, poking his nose into other people’s business. How annoying.

Chi Che noticed the looks from everyone had changed-from friendly to resentful, and even with a hint of murderous intent?

“Miss Jiang is a very good person. I hope you can care more about her in daily life.”

Ye Shuhua replied impatiently, “Our family affairs don’t need an outsider like you to worry about. You’d better mind your own business. I heard that President Chi fell while hiking a few days ago and injured his spine. As his son, aren’t you going to take care of your father?”

Chi Che’s expression changed. “What? Why didn’t anyone tell me!”

He hurriedly drove off.

Ye Shuhua sneered, “Unbelievable. He doesn’t even know his own father’s in trouble, yet he’s meddling in other people’s business. Like a dog catching mice-busybody!”

“Mommy, look! The Little Divine Doctor is here!” Jiang Wan pointed ahead and shouted.

Seven black Maybachs slowly drove up.

Thirty Su Family bodyguards quickly got out, all dressed in matching black uniforms with the Su Family’s unique crest embroidered on their chests. They stood in two neat rows.

One person quickly rolled out a red carpet by the car door.

Another personal bodyguard, wearing spotless white gloves, respectfully approached the car door.

“Miss, we’ve arrived.”

A young girl in a white gauze dress stepped out of the car with elegance and nobility.

The Jiang Family members, seeing this, were both shocked and delighted, crowding forward like lapdogs.

“Greetings, Little Miracle Doctor Su!”
