Chapter 862 - A Thorn In The Flesh



Chapter 862: A Thorn In The Flesh

After the Old Master’s plane landed on a private landing pad, Nuannuan helped him descend from the plane.

Outside the plane, a man had been waiting in the cold wind for god knows how long.

Winter in Emperor District was exceptionally cold. The man wrapped his frail body up in his clothes, looking extremely bloated.

When the old master saw the man, there was a new urgency in his footsteps.

Zhong Nuannuan quickly helped the old man off the plane.

When the man saw the old master emerge from the plane, his eyes lit up, followed by shock and worry.

“Dad, be careful!”

Seeing that the old master was walking down the stairs by himself, the man could not help but stepped forward a little. However, he only took two steps before squatting down.

“Second Master!”

“Zehan!”

This man was none other than the famed business tycoon—the child that Old Master Chi adopted—Chi Zeyao[1].

The old master, along with his bodyguards who were running after him, yelled at the same time. The old master’s footsteps became more urgent.

With Zhong Nuannuan’s assistance, the old master got off the plane quickly and approached Chi Zeyao rather quickly.

At that moment, a bodyguard had already helped Chi Zeyao up, while the other bodyguard darted over with a wheelchair.

After Chi Zeyao sat down, the bodyguards immediately draped a thick wool blanket over him.

The old master trotted over to Chi Zeyao’s side.

Chi Zeyao had his head lowered with a pained expression on his face. However, when the old master came to his side, he forced out a smile.

“Dad, you left without a word. I was so worried.”

He then turned to Zhong Nuannuan, smiled warmly, and asked, “I’m guessing you must be Nuannuan?”

The old master’s face indicated nothing but pained concern, but when he heard Chi Zeyao ask about Nuannuan, a smile broke across his face.

“Nuannuan, this is your Second Uncle. Quick, call him Second Uncle.”

Zhong Nuannuan gave Chi Zeyao a polite bow. “Hello, Second Uncle!”

In her previous life, Second Uncle had always been the one who discovered Chi Yang during his relapses and sending him to the hospital in time. Therefore, Zhong Nuannuan was very grateful to Second Uncle.

Chi Zeyao looked at Nuannuan with a gratified smile and nodded repeatedly. “Wonderful. Wonderful. I’ve heard so much about you from Dad. Chi Yang is blessed to have found such an outstanding fiancée like you. It’s his blessing, and also ours.”

“Let’s stop chitchatting outside. You’re not feeling well. Haven’t I told you that you don’t have to pick me up? You insisted on coming anyway!”

After that, the old master began to ramble on and on. He kept harping on how Second Uncle should not be doing this and how disobedient he was. He nagged so much that Nuannuan felt like her ears were about to grow calluses, but Second Uncle listened attentively with an amiable smile on his face. He agreed with the old master no matter what he said humbly.

Eventually, the old master was rendered speechless by his extraordinary patience. He huffed angrily, “You, the man of all talk but no action! Every time I tell you off, you’ll accept them affably, but you refuse to comply! In the military base, we call people like you a typical thorn in the flesh!”

Second Uncle was amused.

“People like me who seem to be compliant on the surface but actually never obey orders should not be called a thorn in the flesh. They should be called spies.”

“Oh, Lord, no!” The old master spat at him angrily only to trigger another string of chuckles from Chi Zeyao.

However, Nuannuan noticed that despite being obviously cold, beads of sweat were still trickling down Chi Zeyao’s forehead. She could not help but examine his body.

She had always known that Chi Zeyao had a weak constitution. However, as she resented Chi Yang in the past, Nuannuan had never given the old master or Second Uncle any form of medical treatment.

[1] Potentially a mistake, this is the point where Chi Zehan became Chi Zeyao. Staying true to the RAWs, Chi Zehan will be referred to as Chi Zeyao from here onward!
