Chapter 310

The suited man's taunting made Zhang Yuan frown.

What status did this guy think he had?

And who did he think the old man was?

Memories from his past life flooded back in an instant.

Li Aiping!

The wealthiest man in Qingcheng!

This elderly gentleman had only found his long-lost son on his deathbed.

He wandered these old streets alone because it was where he'd lost his beloved child.

His wife had died young from heartbreak.

His younger second wife bore him a daughter.

The icy beauty standing before them—Li Ruobing.

As for this suited man...

Zhang Yuan found no trace of him in his memories.

Neither biological nor adopted son.

Most likely one of Li Ruobing's suitors.

Realizing this, Zhang Yuan smirked.

"Whoever you are...bring it on."

"My acupuncture needles will settle this."

The suited man trembled with rage.

Just as he prepared to retaliate, Li Ruobing's tearful voice interrupted.

"Chen Tao! What's the point of this now?"

"Call an ambulance!"

The man shot Zhang Yuan a venomous glare.

His gaze lingered briefly on Lin Weiwei.

Reluctantly, he pulled out his phone.

"Fine...don't worry Ruobing...I'll contact the hospital."

He secretly snapped photos of Zhang Yuan and Lin Weiwei.

Before he could dial, ambulance sirens approached.

Probably called by bystanders.

Seeing the paramedics arrive, Zhang Yuan tugged Lin Weiwei away.

She stomped her foot in frustration.

"Yuan! This family's insane!"

"You tried helping and they attacked you."

"No wonder people hesitate to assist elders these days..."

Zhang Yuan simply smiled.

He saw greater opportunities ahead.

'When the old man wakes, he'll come thanking me.'

'Then...I'll help him find his lost son...'

'That favor will be worth his while.'

"Yuan? Why so quiet?"

"Disappointed? That woman actually hit me!"

"Money doesn't excuse that behavior!"

"If you hadn't stopped me, I'd have—"

Zhang Yuan waved her off.

"Let it go. Misunderstandings get cleared eventually."

"By the way, how'd you get here?"

Lin Weiwei shook her phone.

"Rideshare...Yuan, I'm starving."

"Barbecue on me?"

Zhang Yuan's stomach growled before he could refuse.

Twenty meters ahead, "Nautilus Grill's" neon sign glowed.

"Fine. My treat."

Lin Weiwei's eyes sparkled.

"I'm ordering everything!"

......

Inside the barbecue joint.

Lin Weiwei eagerly scanned the menu.

"Yuan, pork belly okay?"

"How about ribeye? Spicy clams?"

Zhang Yuan sighed. "Your call."

"The black pepper sausages look good..."

"New place. Never tried."

Lin Weiwei poured tea and offered fruit.

"Yuan, about boosting yang energy—"

His phone rang—Su Rourou calling.

Lin Weiwei pouted.

"Wife checking in?"

"Heard she's vacationing in Europe with friends..."

Zhang Yuan's expression shifted.

This call...meant trouble.

"Hello?"

A saccharine voice answered.

"Honey~ Miss me?"

"Busy at the clinic?"

Zhang Yuan suppressed his disgust.

"Swamped. With patients."

"Need something?"
