Chapter 100

100

When Xiao Ming finally parted ways with Mo Qian妮, it was almost ten o'clock at night. However, Yang Chen still hadn't forgotten what had happened that morning. He was only able to leave the police station safely thanks to Lin Ruoxi finding Lawyer Zhang. It was already so late, and he hadn't even gone to thank her or explain the situation, which was indeed inexcusable. Even though he knew Lin Ruoxi might not want to hear it, he still felt it was necessary to meet her.

So, after getting his car, Yang Chen drove directly to the hospital alone.

As he was about to reach the door of Lin Ruoxi's ward, Yang Chen suddenly paused. He was surprised to find two men in jackets standing at the ward's entrance. By instinct, Yang Chen could easily tell that they were military-trained, with their posture and the way they scanned the surroundings, which were characteristic of excellent soldiers.

Who was in the ward? And why were such military guards standing outside?

Yang Chen had a bad feeling, but he didn't choose to avoid it. Instead, he quickly walked to the door.

"Stop!" One of the men at the door extended his arm to block Yang Chen's path. "No entry!"

Yang Chen grinned and said, "Brothers, I just want to visit a patient. No need to be so serious. I know the person inside well. If you don't believe me, just open the door and let me see them."

The two men remained stern, saying without room for argument, "We said no entry, and that means no entry!"

"What if I insist on going in?" Yang Chen's smile instantly vanished, and his face turned cold.

A cold glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he sneered, "Then get lost!"

As he spoke, the man tried to push Yang Chen away with a large hand!

"Get lost yourselves!"

Yang Chen was furious. He grabbed the man's hand, exerted force, and pulled him off balance, causing the man to crash into the wall opposite the corridor with a "bang"!

Seeing Yang Chen take action, the other man quickly swung a hand knife down at him!

Without even looking, Yang Chen raised his knee with lightning speed and jabbed it into the man's abdomen like a spear!

The man, as if struck by electricity, curled up into a "shrimp" and fell to the ground, vomiting acid.

In a moment, the two professional soldiers who had been full of disdain for Yang Chen were one knocked out and the other convulsing, unable to believe that their proud special forces combat skills were so easily defeated!

Yang Chen adjusted his pants and muttered, "I want to see my woman, and I have to ask you? What a bunch of idiots!"

With that, he forcefully pushed open the wooden door of the ward!

But just as the door opened, Yang Chen敏锐地 felt a burst of momentum rushing towards him!

Almost instinctively, Yang Chen moved his head three inches to the left, and a whistling punch just passed through the original position!

In an instant, the missed punch transformed into an eagle claw, aiming for Yang Chen's neck!

Yang Chen's steps made a strange arc in the narrow space, avoiding the claw while moving behind the attacker and raising his foot to kick the man's buttocks!

However, the attacker's reaction and speed were also astonishing. Just as they were about to make contact, he quickly leaped away, landing on one foot while the other swept towards Yang Chen with a gust of wind!

Yang Chen had already gauged the man's strength and confirmed it posed no threat. This time, he didn't bother to dodge, blocking the kick with a straight arm in front of his chest...

"Bang!"

A闷响 like an explosion of air, the kick was firmly blocked by Yang Chen, who remained completely still.

At this moment, Yang Chen finally saw the attacker clearly. It was an old man in a gray robe, with an ordinary appearance and slightly graying hair.

Seeing it was an old man, Yang Chen immediately became angry and shouted, "Hey, old man, we have no grudge or enmity. Why are you trying to kill me!?"

"Gray Robe, stand down."

A deep and authoritative voice came from the side. On the side of the ward near the bed, there was a man who looked to be in his fifties.

This man was tall and handsome, with a well-defined face. His black hair was neatly combed back, and he wore a rare dark blue Zhongshan suit. His entire demeanor exuded the meticulousness and proud, frosty demeanor of a leader.

The old man called Gray Robe gave Yang Chen a strange look but obediently retracted his foot and respectfully retreated to the corner.

Yang Chen turned around and finally saw Lin Ruoxi, who was sitting safely on the bed.

Wearing a loose, white cotton nightgown, her ink-black hair made her even more alluring. Her face, without makeup, was delicate and refined, with rosy skin that made her look even more charming.

Two weeks of traditional Chinese medicine had enhanced the beauty of the young female CEO to an even more breathtaking level, more stunning than when Yang Chen first met her.

However, Lin Ruoxi's expression was gloomy, as if she hadn't seen anything in front of her. Her eyes were slightly red, as if she had just been crying, and she looked out the window with a coldness that made one pity her.

"You are Yang Chen, right?" the man in the Zhongshan suit asked in a deep voice.

Yang Chen was unsure of the situation but clearly, someone with a bodyguard like the old man in gray must be of high status. He nodded, "You are..."

"I am Ruoxi's grandfather. My name is Lin Zhiguo."

Lin Zhiguo? Lin Ruoxi's grandfather!?

Although the man did look old, Yang Chen hadn't expected him to be Lin Ruoxi's grandfather!

Yang Chen remembered that Cai Yan had mentioned this person when she came to the hospital last time. He had always been curious whether Lin Ruoxi had a grandfather, and now he had finally met him.

"No!"

Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi turned her red eyes to Yang Chen and said stubbornly, "He is not my grandfather. I don't know him. Yang Chen, get him out of here! I don't want to see him!"

This left Yang Chen stunned. What was going on?

Lin Zhiguo frowned, his eyes showing a hint of sorrow. He said painfully, "Ruoxi, do you hate your grandfather so much that you won't even let him visit you...?"

"I'll say it again, you are not my grandfather. Secondly, you've already seen me, so you can leave." Lin Ruoxi said coldly, refusing to look at Lin Zhiguo directly.

At this moment, the old man in gray sighed and tried to console her, "Miss, the master has not had it easy these past years. He has always been worried about you. When he heard you were in the hospital, he was very concerned. The family opposed the master coming to see you, but he came despite the pressure. Miss, please don't blame the master... He has his reasons..."

Lin Ruoxi sneered, "How dare I blame the great patriarch of the Lin family? Please don't bother with a insignificant girl like me. I don't need your ridiculous pity."

Lin Zhiguo's expression changed, and he took a deep breath, nodding. "Fine, Ruoxi. Since you don't want me to stay, I will leave immediately. However..." He glanced at the bewildered Yang Chen and said, "However, you are destined to be a daughter of the Lin family. Your body carries the purest and noblest blood of the Lin family. I absolutely cannot allow you to marry a man who sells lamb skewers!"

Yang Chen was frustrated. What was this old man talking about? What's wrong with selling lamb skewers? It's not like he was a prostitute... He was proud of selling lamb skewers!

Besides, he had personally gone to the civil affairs office to get a marriage certificate and had even made love before the wedding... Well... Although they were both drunk and had forgotten most of it, they were still legally married. How could it be called a hasty marriage? It's not like in a martial arts movie where they just bow to the moon and get married without a certificate and then have a child.

But Yang Chen didn't dare to say these things. After all, they were grandfather and granddaughter, and he was just an outsider and a junior, so he had to take a hit.

"Why? I will marry whoever I want to marry! I am not part of the Lin family. I am just me, Lin Ruoxi. Apart from the unchangeable surname, I have nothing to do with your Lin family!" Lin Ruoxi's emotions became agitated, almost as if she was venting.

Lin Zhiguo's face turned cold. "Whether you admit it or not, you must divorce! A woman of the Lin family can only marry a successful man, not a penniless lamb skewer vendor! The Lin family cannot have such a joke!"

"Joke?" Lin Ruoxi sneered coldly. "Is your relationship with Grandma also a joke?"

"Shut up!!..." Lin Zhiguo was shocked and angry, like a lion whose tail had been stepped on. He raised his hand as if to slap her!

However, just as his hand was raised, Lin Zhiguo trembled, his expression complex, and he slowly lowered his hand, not striking her. He sighed, "I have wronged your grandmother, and it is the greatest regret of my life. Therefore, I must take good care of you. I will not allow the blood of the Lin family to mix with that of a lamb skewer vendor..."

"It is an honor to tell you, it's too late..." Lin Ruoxi said mockingly, not sure if she was mocking Lin Zhiguo or herself.

Lin Zhiguo's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Yang Chen with a gaze that seemed to pierce through him, his voice trembling, "You... What did you say... You and him?"

"Or what did you think I married him for?" Lin Ruoxi asked with a mocking laugh.

Yang Chen was somewhat embarrassed, touching his nose with a few awkward laughs. This woman was really something, talking about such matters in front of her grandfather. How embarrassing! Didn't she know her husband had a thin skin?

Others couldn't laugh. Not only Lin Zhiguo, but even the old man in gray showed a shocked expression, taking a long time to recover.

Lin Zhiguo stared at Lin Ruoxi, who was unwilling to speak again, and then glared at Yang Chen, saying, "I didn't expect things to turn out this way, but Yang Chen, I hope you don't do anything to hurt Ruoxi... Otherwise, I will not let it go."

Finally, he said something meaningful to him, but Yang Chen was somewhat troubled, "This... It depends on whether she wants to be with me."

"The iron law of the Lin family, whether male or female, is to have only one partner in life. You must treat Ruoxi well; you have no other choice!" Lin Zhiguo said firmly.

"Uh..." Yang Chen glanced at the silent Lin Ruoxi, suddenly realizing why she had married him. It seemed all the talk about contract marriages was just an excuse! On the surface, she refused to acknowledge being part of the Lin family, but deep down, she was still doing things that way... This was too contradictory!

Yang Chen felt a bit conflicted. He didn't just have this one woman. He said vaguely, "That's your family rule, it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Zhiguo said with a burning gaze, "Don't think that just because you have some skills, I can't deal with you. If you dare to hurt Ruoxi, I will be the first to come after you!"

Lin Ruoxi, lying on the bed, glanced at Yang Chen coldly, "Yang Chen, stop talking and make them leave..."

"No need to rush, I'm leaving now."

Lin Zhiguo gave Yang Chen a meaningful glare and then left the ward with the old man in gray. The two men who had been knocked to the ground also hurriedly followed, not daring to stay a moment longer.

Only the young couple was left in the room, their eyes meeting, but the atmosphere became quite awkward...
