At this moment, Su Zhi’en felt provoked by Jiang Chen. ‘If he wants me to repeat myself, I’ll repeat myself. Does he think that I’m afraid of him?’

“Am I wrong? I told you I wanted to treat you, and you said I wanted to kill you. Since that’s the case, then we’ll do as you wish. Let me tell you, if you hadn’t ‘offered’ me your sperm back then, there wouldn’t have been a relationship between us.

“I’m treating your illness for the sake of my son. I’ll let you live a few more years. Otherwise, it will be useless even if you were to kneel and beg me!”

Jiang Chen was shocked. The hall was in complete silence, and the atmosphere was genuinely terrifying. Even the maid felt numb. 

‘This is too terrifying. Who on earth is this woman? She dares to say such things to Master Jiang. Whenever Miss Tong came here, she didn’t even have the guts to behave this way. When Miss Tong was here, she would always coax Master Jiang. With just a glance, Miss Tong would stop speaking. So who does this woman think she is? God?’ 

The maid, who had been here earlier, was weary of all this commotion. She then tried to slip away and hide.

“What’s going on?”

Just when everyone present at the mansion thought that there would be a bloodbath between Su Zhi’en and Jiang Chen, a small figure suddenly appeared from upstairs—it was Jiang Wei.

Su Zhi’en’s anger immediately subsided. She raised her gaze to look at Jiang Wei and revealed a smile as though she was pleasantly surprised. It was a genuine smile that came from the bottom of her heart. 

“Why did you come out of your room, Jiang Wei? Did I disturb your sleep?”

“What do you think?” Jiang Wei was straightforward. The indifferent expression on his face was filled with impatience after being disturbed.

Su Zhi’en no longer felt like arguing with the arrogant Jiang Chen. She quickly walked toward the stairs, raised her head, and said, “I’m sorry, Jiang Wei. It’s late, and I’ve disturbed your sleep. Don’t worry. We won’t argue anymore. You should go back to sleep.

“Why aren’t you wearing a coat? You could catch a cold. Go back to your room and get some sleep.” Su Zhi’en turned into a typical mother with all the nagging she did.

However, Jiang Wei had no intentions of talking to her at all. He stood upstairs and looked at his father with a gloomy face. “Father, you once told me that a doctor should treat every disease. The doctor is here now, so how come you’re not letting her treat you?”

“What?” Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment. He probably didn’t expect his son to question him so suddenly. Moreover, his mind was still in a state of lunacy from being angered by Su Zhi’en, so he didn’t have time to react.

“If you don’t want the doctor to take a look at you now, then you can’t force me to see a doctor in the future too.” Jiang Wei uttered those unkind words from above and turned around to leave.

Su Zhi’en was dumbfounded.

“Jiang Wei, how could you be so rude?” At this moment, Jiang Chen’s handsome face turned dark as though dark clouds covered it. This son of his showed him no mercy. Even the old geezers, who were the Board of Directors in the Jiang Corporation, had to be respectful when they saw Jiang Chen. However, Jiang Wei didn’t seem to care at all.

Jiang Chen’s knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists. His eyes stared at Su Zhi’en, red as if he wanted to skin her alive. He hadn’t forgotten what Su Zhi’en had said. 

“Fine, if you don’t want me to take a look at you, I won’t, alright?! I’ll go away now. I just don’t want to bother Jiang Wei.” Su Zhi’en felt a headache when she saw the look in Jiang Chen’s eyes. She didn’t want to argue with him anymore, so she turned around and left, just like Jiang Wei.

But as she was leaving, the arrogant Jiang Chen relented, “Su Zhi’en, just so you know, I’m only going to let you treat me for my son’s sake. If you make even the slightest mistake, I guarantee you that your uncle and the rest of his family will all be buried alongside you!”

‘Am I the crazy one here? Do I honestly have to treat this arrogant man? And why does he always threaten me with my uncle’s family?’

Su Zhi’en stopped and stared at Jiang Chen coldly. “Then, If I manage to cure you, please have some morals afterward. Try not to bring your entire family down with you. I would like my son to live a long life, you illiterate!”

Jiang Chen was shocked. He didn’t expect Su Zhi’en to become so fierce and ruthless when she was such a fearful and submissive person in the past. But the two of them finally reached a temporary agreement.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Chen didn’t trust Su Zhi’en, or maybe it was because he had never tried acupuncture before. The amusing part was that the arrogant Jiang Chen, who had a nasty attitude toward Su Zhi’en, was now listening to her instructions while lying on the sofa.

Su Zhi’en saw a trace of tension on Jiang Chen’s face.

‘Oh, is he nervous?’ Su Zhi’en pulled a stool over with a cold expression on her face, sat behind Jiang Chen’s head, and half-jokingly, half-mockingly said, “Oh Great Director Jiang, you don’t have to be so nervous. I can’t pierce through that thick skull of yours with a tiny needle. If I wanted to do that, then I’d use a chainsaw. Only then should you be nervous!”

Jiang Chen fell silent..
