Physician's Odyssey Chapter 470 - Vengeance of the Ye Family’s Siblings

The banquet suddenly blew into a commotion as everyone went into an uproar. Everyone had directed their gazes at the newcomers, which Su Tao had done so as well. There was a bewitching woman with an absolutely graceful figure in a fiery dress and a dazzling laurel on her head. Su Tao liked pure women, so he had no interest in such a seductive woman.
But even he had to admit that this woman permeated a unique beauty.
Her thick makeup had covered up her natural appearance, but there was a seductive aura around her that anyone looking at her would feel suffocating.
Judging from her looks, she shouldn't be old, but she has used makeup to conceal her age and gave off an oppressive aura.
Many men in the venue felt like they're suffocating. The beauty of this woman was just as rumored. But they only looked at her from a distance with respect in their eyes, since she's a thorny rose.
Just when Ni Jingqiu wanted to introduce Su Tao to her parents, she never expected that an unwelcome guest would arrive. The moment she arrived, she had instantly attracted the attention of men and women alike.
"Who is she?" Su Tao looked at Ni Jingqiu.
"Ye Ling, the most famous woman in Beijing's circle." Ni Jingqiu weakly sighed.
"Why does her appearance seem even more shocking than your own? It's to the point that she has captivated everyone's attention." Su Tao pursued with another question.
"That's because everyone wants to see a joke, and they're curious about how Ye Ling will try to embarrass me." Ni Jingqiu's expression turned grave as she added, "She's Huo Kun's cousin."
Following beside Ye Ling was a medium-built man with a sturdy body.
When Su Tao saw him, he inwardly sighed. It seemed like Ye Ling must have relied on this man to come here.
Judging from the man's walking posture, he seemed powerful. He was walking with his center of gravity lowered, and his body was constantly on high alert. As long as anything unexpected took place, he would instantly explode with extraordinary strength.
The security guards failed to stop the two of them when they came in with batons and surrounded the two.
"Little brother, it seems they've yet to suffer enough." Ye Ling smiled.
Ye Sheng grinned, revealing his teeth, and replied, "Don't worry about them. As long as they dare to come near us, I'll crush them."
Nodding her head, Ye Ling continued to walk and the security guards started to back off out of fear for Ye Sheng.
But when the two of them wanted to approach Ni Jingqiu, the leader of the security guards unleashed a roar that woke the rest of the security guards from the fear and they gnashed their teeth before brandishing their batons.
Ye Sheng eerily grinned as he stood before Ye Ling and lashed his legs forth, sending any of the security guards that tried to approach flying. By sending men that were 50kg flying in the air and smashing on the tables, it was clear how powerful his legs were.
Watching this scene, Su Tao sighed. He initially wanted to have a free meal, but it seems that it wouldn't go so easily.
Su Tao knew about the Ni Family's background, so the two of them must not be simple for them to barge into a banquet so openly and even start a fight.
When Ni Jingqiu's father, Ni Buwei, saw this scene, he locked his brows together and sighed, "Ye Ling, Ye Sheng, I won't hold anything against the two of you on the sake of your parents, so leave."
Hearing those words, Su Tao jolted. It was no wonder why the other party dared to be so arrogant, they're from the Ye Family!
"Uncle Ni, we also don't want to cause any trouble today. We just want to ask Jingqiu something, but we never expected that these blind dogs would forbid our entrance, saying that we're not invited. When I entered, they even tried to make a move against me." Ye Ling's clear voice resounded with a natural invasive charm, making it seem like they were the victims here.
As Ni Buwei frowned, he solemnly said, "Ye Ling, even if the security guards forbid your entrance, that isn't a reason for you to trash the venue. I'm here entertaining guests, and it's a matter between you and the security guards that you're not allowed entrance. But you're in the wrong for trashing the place."
"If you analyse it that way, we do seem a little impulsive, so I will apologise to you. We're of the younger generation, and we're kids in your eyes, so please don't hold it against us." Ye Ling charmingly smiled in Ni Buwei's direction.
As Ni Buwei sighed, he said, "The dragon and phoenix twins of the Ye Family are famous with one being cultured and the other versed in martial arts, so the rumors are as true as they claim to be. Ye Sheng is powerful, while Ye Ling is sharp-tongued. I have a good relationship with your parents, so I can overlook this matter as an act of willfulness. But I will stick to my words. The two of you are to leave!"
"It's easy for us to leave, we're here for your daughter, so we will leave after speaking to her." Ye Ling cunningly smiled before she continued, "You know my dad's character, and he will surely compensate for the loss that the Ni Family suffered today."
Finally, Ni Buwei blew his patience and raged, "Ye Ling, that's enough. Do you think that I, Ni Buwei, lack money?"
He immediately took out his phone and gave a call. However, the call wouldn't get through and his face sank as he looked at the siblings of the Ye Family. He realised that the two of them coming today might have been approved by the Ye Family.
The Ni Family might be one of the prominent families in Beijing, but there were some changes in their family when compared to the Ye and Qin Family. Thus, they did not have anyone in their family that's in the military or politics.
The Ni Family might be the wealthiest, but they had a disadvantage in the military and political world.
Initially, the marriage of his daughter was meant to form an alliance. Although Huo Kun wasn't a member of the Ye Family, his mother was the elder sister of the Ye Family's patriarch.
Otherwise, why would Ni Buwei approve the marriage with Huo Kun's character and background?
According to Ni Buwei and Ye Yilong's suggestions, the two families would cooperate on the gold mines located in South Africa's Free State Province. The Ni Family would supply the funds and technology, while the Ye Family provides the political and military assistance to guarantee a smooth development.
But with Huo Kun's reputation being ruined, there's no way that Ni Buwei would allow his daughter to marry a dirtbag, regardless of how much wealth he was offered.
However, he's placed in an awkward position right now. Ye Ling and Ye Sheng were both part of the younger generations, and he couldn't interfere in a conflict between younger generations. After all, if he, someone of the older generation got involved, then there's no hope for the Ye and Ni Families to cooperate. In the worst-case scenario, a war might even break out between the two families.
Thus, Ni Buwei had no choice but to hold himself back.
Any war between the families would result in a significant loss, and he wasn't prepared for that. Not to mention that he's worried that there might be more schemes waiting for him, so his hands were shackled.
Seeing her father's difficulty, Ni Jingqiu stood forth. "Dad, leave this matter to me. I will handle it."
Hearing his daughter's words, Ni Buwei sighed. Since it's a matter amongst the younger generation, it's naturally best if it could be resolved amongst them.
Ye Ling elegantly clapped her hands and smiled. "Truly worthy of someone who nearly became my cousin-in-law. You're pretty courageous, but you don't have to worry. My brother's legs can fearlessly trash these dogs of the Ni Family, but he won't touch you. People of different statuses will be treated differently, and I just want you to change your mind. Although you've betrayed my cousin, I'm still willing to accept you. So you just have to take back your decision to renege the wedding."
"Ye Ling, this is a matter between Huo Kun and I, and you're in no position to interfere!" Ni Jingqiu's expression turned grave.
"Don't misunderstand me. Firstly, I'm not requesting you, but I'm informing you. If you refuse to take back this decision, then trouble will incessantly follow. The Ye Family never suffers humiliation, and we will definitely repay it. Secondly, in the entire world, only my cousin is willing to marry you. As long as he wants to marry you, you're not allowed to reject it. No men will be able to do so, or they will be enemies of us, siblings." Ye Ling smiled.
Ye Ling's words were tactful. She said that they would be enemies of the two of them, not the Ye Family. Although it was practically the same, she worded her words well.
Hearing her words, Ni Jingqiu sneered, "What a domineering logic!"
"That's because you're the one who humiliated us first!" Ye Ling's gaze fell on Su Tao, who was standing beside Ni Jingqiu with surprise in her eyes. After that, she moved to her brother's ears and whispered.
The siblings naturally saw Su Tao, and they knew that he was the mastermind behind Huo Kun's fall. Thus, they have read up on him.
As Ye Sheng grinned, he cracked his knuckles as he approached Su Tao.
Watching this scene, Ni Jingqiu was startled since she knew what Ye Sheng was trying to do and immediately urged Su Tao.
"Leave quickly, this pair of siblings is famous for being madmen in Beijing, and they're capable of doing anything. They must have recognised you, and they intend to take revenge against you."
"They even dare to act so boldly in the Ni Family's banquet. If they're truly determined to cause trouble for me, is there a place for me to hide in Beijing?" Su Tao smiled.
Ni Jingqiu was briefly stunned, but Su Tao's words made sense.
"You're a guest that I brought over, so I can't allow you to suffer any injuries. You leave first, and I'll hold Ye Sheng back!" sighed Ni Jingqiu.
Before Su Tao could even respond, Ni Jingqiu stood before Ye Sheng and blocked him as she barked, "Ye Sheng, stop!"
"I rarely hit a woman, so get lost!" Ye Sheng grinned and shoved Ni Jingqiu to the side.
Ni Jingqiu stumbled and was knocked against a table before looking at her father. When she saw that her father remained indifferent, she knew that he had no intention of stopping the siblings for now.
Although the middle-aged man beside Ni Buwei took a step forth, he was signaled to stop by the latter. Evidently, the situation hadn't developed to the point for him to make a move, so he couldn't carelessly make a move, or it might be an excuse for the Ye Family to take revenge in the future.
When Su Tao saw this scene, he inwardly sighed and his impression of Ni Jingqiu's father had fallen to rock bottom.
However, he could understand Ni Buwei's decision since it's natural for those in power to have shrewd thoughts. He might be a guest, but he had no worth in Ni Buwei's eyes.
Thus, Ni Buwei didn't feel a need for him to stop Ye Sheng from reaching Su Tao. On the contrary, if Ye Sheng beat up Su Tao, then he might have the upper hand when negotiating with the Ye Family in the future.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Sheng was already holding onto Su Tao's collar.
Standing not too far away from Ni Buwei, Ni Jingqiu's mother, Wang Qiaozhen said, "You can't touch our guest here, remove your hand from this instance!"
Although her daughter has still yet to introduce Su Tao to her, Wang Qiaozhen knew that this was a friend that her daughter brought over, which was why she called out to Ye Sheng.
Hearing those words, Su Tao felt gratified. It wasn't because he might be saved, but if she had also remained silent, then there's no way he would treat her illness.
