Urban Invincible Medical Divine

Chapter 174 So Simple

"Things are not as simple as you think."

Sheng Qianmei shook her head and said, "My father was born into an Ancient Martial Arts Family, yet he had no talent for martial arts. He further defied my grandfather by marrying an American woman, my mother, which placed our family in a very low position within the Sheng Family. Although my father is a businessman and now has assets worth several billion, he still holds no status within the Sheng Family."

"Of course, I have no good feelings toward the Sheng Family either. They don't recognize us, and I'm not interested in currying favor with them. I never tell anyone I am from the Sheng Family. But, if I don't marry now, it will definitely provoke the Sheng Family's displeasure and retaliation. My father's company would be swallowed up, and our family will certainly meet a terrible end. I have to consider my parents, not just myself."

Sheng Qianmei looked at Liu Wentian, her eyes twinkling for a moment, but then dimmed again.

She had originally planned, before marrying Zhou Yi, to give herself to Liu Wentian, for she had quite a fondness for him. But then she remembered that Liu Wentian was simply not capable...

Perhaps, this was fate.

If she was not being forced to marry Zhou Yi, even if Liu Wentian was not capable, as long as he truly loved her, spending a life with him wouldn't be so bad. Sheng Qianmei thought to herself.

Liu Wentian naturally didn't understand that he was simply not adequate in a certain aspect in Sheng Qianmei's heart. After hearing Sheng Qianmei's words, he frowned and said, "No matter what, your family is still a part of the Sheng Family. Can it be that if you refuse, the Sheng Family would really drive your family to ruin and death?"

Sheng Qianmei, feeling helpless, said, "If my grandfather were still in charge, naturally it wouldn't be like this. Although he thinks my father is hopeless, he wouldn't really do anything to us. But now my grandfather is no longer healthy, and the Sheng Family is controlled by my uncle. In my uncle's eyes, there are only interests. As long as it can make the Sheng Family stronger, there's nothing he wouldn't do."

"Every night in my dreams I see you I feel you..."

Sheng Qianmei's ringtone sounded, and she glanced at the caller ID with a look of displeasure.

"What's the matter?" Sheng Qianmei answered the phone with a cold tone.

After a moment, she hung up the phone, her face looking extremely upset.

"Who was that on the phone?" Liu Wentian asked, puzzled.

Sheng Qianmei did not answer. Instead, she looked deeply at Liu Wentian, and with a sense of farewell tinged with sadness, she said, "Liu Wentian, I have to go."

"Was it the Sheng Family who called?"

Liu Wentian's tone was icy as he said, "In that case, let me accompany you to the Sheng Family. I want to see for myself how remarkable this Ancient Martial Arts Family is, to outright command you to marry a man you do not like!"

Sheng Qianmei was startled by Liu Wentian's words, her eyes filled with emotion. After hesitating for a moment, reason finally overcame emotion. She shook her head and said, "Liu Wentian, thank you for thinking of me. However, you can't help me."

Although Sheng Qianmei had seen Liu Wentian teach a group of bodyguards a lesson and witnessed Liu Wenxing's miraculous medical skills when Liu Wentian had taken her to eat hot pot, she still believed that Liu Wentian could not compare to an Ancient Martial Arts Family, unable to comprehend what an ancient martial arts expert truly meant!

Liu Wentian realized that at such times, even if he told her how formidable he was, she wouldn't believe him. He thought for a moment, then said,

"Didn't you say that your grandfather is now ill, which is why your uncle is in charge? Maybe I can heal your grandfather's illness."

Immediately, Sheng Qianmei's face brightened. Yes, she had witnessed Liu Wentian's miraculous medical skills.

Perhaps Liu Wentian really could heal her grandfather's illness. Then, in gratitude for healing him, her grandfather might refuse Zhou Yi's marriage proposal and send him away!

Thinking this, Sheng Qianmei quickly nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take you to the Sheng Family."

Then, she added, "But Zhou Yi is at the Sheng Family now, and Leng Tiantu must have told him about you seeing me. If you meet him later and he provokes you, don't provoke him in return, just tolerate him. Do you understand?"

When Sheng Qianmei said this, she wasn't siding with Zhou Yi, but knew that Zhou Yi, being a genius of the Zhou Family and an ancient martial arts expert, she really didn't want to see Liu Wentian get into trouble.

Liu Wentian scoffed internally.

Tolerate the other party? He was not that kind-tempered.

If others do not offend me, I do not offend others. But if others offend me, I will repay them a hundredfold!

However, he outwardly still agreed.

.....

Sheng Family.

In the hall sat many people, including Leng Tiantu who had previously threatened Liu Wentian.

At that time, he was sitting next to a young man with a sinister face, his smile somewhat ingratiating.

Next to him were Sheng Qianmei's eldest uncle, who was the current head of the Sheng family, Leng Zhenkun, Sheng Qianmei's second uncle Leng Zhenhua, her father Leng Zhenyu, and other key figures of the Sheng family.

Among these people, Leng Zhenkun and the young man with the sinister face seemed to be the leaders.

Leng Tiantu, threatened by Sheng Qianmei not to harm Liu Wentian, grew more and more angry after returning home. In his eyes, his uncle Leng Zhenyu's family had long been excluded from the core circle of the Sheng family, and Sheng Qianmei was no different from a servant to the Sheng family.

Now, this "servant" even dared to talk back to him, which was outrageous!!

Fearing that Zhou Yi might take out his frustration on the Sheng family if he married Sheng Qianmei and then discovered she was entangled with other men, he relayed the matter to Zhou Yi, who happened to be at home right after he returned.

Immediately, everyone's expression changed, and Zhou Yi's face suddenly darkened!!

"What's the situation, when is she coming back??" Leng Zhenkun asked while tapping his fingers on the armrest of the mahogany chair, his tone indifferent.

Leng Tiantu glanced at Zhou Yi and then said, "Dad, don't worry. That woman will be back soon!!"

After finishing his statement, he sneered towards Leng Zhenyu, "Uncle, you really have a wonderful daughter!! She is about to marry Young Master Zhou but still goes out on dates with random men. It's typical of someone raised abroad, drinking foreign ink and forgetting all virtues!!"

Leng Zhenyu was already looking grim, but upon hearing Leng Tiantu's words, his face turned even more steely as he retorted, "Tiantu, what are you talking about?? Qianmei is your sister after all, how can you speak of her like that??"

"Ha, sister? I don't have such a disrespectful sister who knows nothing about rank and decency!"

Leng Tiantu sneered dismissively, "She told me herself earlier that she doesn't consider us her family at all; in her eyes, the Sheng family doesn't exist!"

"Enough, stop talking!!"

Leng Zhenkun drummed his fingers on the mahogany armrest to halt Leng Tiantu from continuing, then added, "Third brother, regardless of anything else, your daughter has Sheng family blood running through her veins. Whether she likes it or not, she is a member of the Sheng family. A member of our family must abide by our rules. What are we if we don't respect our seniors and lack moral decency? A wild woman from the United States??"

After speaking, Leng Zhenkun's eyes filled with a chilling intensity as he looked at Leng Zhenyu.

Leng Zhenyu was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed. Leng Zhenkun had criticized not only his daughter but also his American wife. He was itching to leap up and slap Leng Zhenkun!!

However, he couldn't do that; he had to endure it!!

He might be a successful businessman but held no significant status within the Sheng family; his presence here was merely because he, too, shared the Sheng family blood.

His father had three sons; the eldest son, Leng Zhenkun, had an excellent talent for martial arts and was already a high-level expert at the Subsequent Enchantment Late Stage, firmly in charge of the entire Sheng family.

The second son, Leng Zhenhua, though mediocre in aptitude, was at least at the Postnatal Early Stage and had entered the realm of Ancient Martial Arts.

As for him, the youngest, he had no talent for martial arts at all; he could never become a master in his lifetime!!

Moreover, he had faced opposition from his father, but he still married an American woman, which is why he now had absolutely no status within the Sheng family.

If the family head were still his father, perhaps his family wouldn't be treated this harshly, but now that Leng Zhenkun was in charge, he feared Leng Zhenkun could do anything when provoked. This man saw no kinship in his eyes, only interests!!

Leng Zhenkun, seeing that Leng Zhenyu was too angry to speak, curled the corner of his mouth in a cold smirk. He then turned to Zhou Yi and apologized, "Young Master Zhou, rest assured, once Sheng Qianmei returns, I will have her explain herself to you personally!!"

Zhou Yi's face was grim, but seeing Leng Zhenkun being so polite, he did not show any displeasure. Although his Zhou family was stronger, the Sheng family was not to be underestimated.

After thinking for a moment, he said indifferently, "Uncle Leng, you should understand, if Sheng Qianmei has indeed been involved with another man, she will not be entering my family's threshold!!"

"This…"

Leng Zhenkun was momentarily stunned, then his eyebrows furrowed.

Given his father's recent condition, he might not last much longer, and his strength had already significantly declined. Without his father, a Postnatal Peak master, it would be difficult for him to maintain the vast family business.

After all, besides his father, he was currently the strongest in the Sheng family, yet he was still only at the Subsequent Enchantment Late Stage with the Postnatal Peak being far out of reach!!
