Chapter 500: Chapter 500
Su Xiaotong laughed, "I think he cares about you too much. Although Qin Yu is also a great husband, I still think he’s not as good as Chu Yan.
This guy is busy to death every day, he doesn’t even have time to date me.
Last Valentine’s Day, he just bought me a bunch of gifts. How wonderful Chu Yan is, always by your side every day, doing your laundry and cooking for you, as if you are his whole world."
When they weren’t married yet, Qin Yu would push aside work to spend Valentine’s Day with her.
But after getting married, Qin Yu had such a big business to handle after all. He was so busy every day that he couldn’t always push aside work to be with his wife.
Fortunately, Su Xiaotong worked at his company, so they still got to see each other often.
"Isn’t Chu Yan’s hospital busy? I remember he also has a pharmaceutical company."
Su Xiaotong was a bit puzzled.
Chu Yan also owned so much property.
Why could Chu Yan afford to be idle at home every day?
"The hospital is busy, but he only occasionally goes there to resolve some issues."
After Chu Yan regained his memory and cultivation, he could not treat mortals casually.
As the King Yan of the underworld, he naturally could cure any difficult diseases, but doing so would change the mortals’ Fate Diagram, which wasn’t good for both the mortals and his own cultivation.
Now, Chu Yan only managed the hospital and pharmaceutical company, ensuring every day was about making money, not losing it.
Occasionally, he also had to deal with matters from the underworld.
"He’s preparing to retire, since he has earned enough money for several lifetimes."
Chu Yan had expressed such thoughts before.
Especially after Qin Zhao got pregnant, he wanted to stay at home and take care of the child.
Because he didn’t have a complete childhood himself, lacking a father’s presence, he wanted to provide a complete and wonderful childhood for his own child.
"I think so too, no need to make so much money. But when I mentioned this to Qin Yu, this guy said his hobby is making money and if he doesn’t make money, he feels uncomfortable all over."
Su Xiaotong sighed, wondering how someone could be so peculiar.
They both petted the cat while complaining about their husbands.
Meanwhile, Chu Yan had rushed back to that neighborhood.
Ji Shaohai and that woman were doing adult things in the bedroom.
He used his Divine Sense to look over and didn’t find anything unusual about the woman.
Could it be that Ji Shaohai didn’t come here last time to see her?
But had gone somewhere else?
Chu Yan frowned deeply, contemplation flashing in his eyes.
Just as he was about to observe further, a roaring noise came to his ears.
Soon after, a glaring dark green sports car pulled up beside him.
A familiar voice came from the car.
Chu Yan turned his head and saw it was Qi Ling.
"What are you doing here?"
After restoring his memory, Chu Yan had handed over all his undercover businesses to Qi Ling, as he didn’t lack money and didn’t need to keep up with those illegal activities anymore.
Qi Ling handled it well and didn’t need Chu Yan’s help with anything.
They hadn’t contacted each other for a long time.
"What are you doing here?"
Chu Yan didn’t answer but asked back.
"I’m here to meet a friend."
Qi Ling’s expression was bland, he didn’t really have friends.
Probably there was some issue.
"You don’t have to go, we haven’t met for so long. How about going for a drink together?"
"I still have things to do."
He had not yet finished the task his wife assigned him.
Chu Yan pursed his lips, just as he was about to explain, he saw Ji Shaohai come out.
He first got into Qi Ling’s sports car.
"You follow that person."
Chu Yan pointed at Ji Shaohai.
Qi Ling didn’t ask much and drove following Ji Shaohai.
After Ji Shaohai left, he hailed a taxi.
The sports car followed behind the taxi, Ji Shaohai completely unaware. The taxi’s destination was a guesthouse, where he and that woman spent the night before returning.
Seeing him return, Chu Yan felt he had completed the task his wife had given him.
"Now I can grab a drink with you."
Qi Ling hooked his lips casually and asked, "What’s with that guy?"
"He’s a bit off, my wife asked me to check on him."
Upon hearing this, Qi Ling let out a light tsk.
"I really didn’t expect that someone like you would be henpecked."
Chu Yan glanced at him indifferently, "Having a wife who manages you is a good thing, you don’t understand that feeling. Plus, she cares about you, that’s why she restrains you. If she didn’t care, she wouldn’t mind what you do."
"Sounds troublesome, I hate people managing me."
Qi Ling and Chu Yan had similar experiences.
Both men had strong dark sides, defiant and unruly.
Back when Qi Ling was bullied, Chu Yan had helped him, so he would listen to some of Chu Yan’s advice.
"I heard about the Xu Family, was it your doing?"
Chu Yan suddenly changed the subject, Qi Ling remained silent.
After a long time, Qi Ling chuckled lightly.
Although he was laughing, his eyes were filled with a piercing cold.
"Yes, this is their retribution."
Thinking about the Xu Family’s fate, Chu Yan still offered a word of caution.
After Lu Tingming had an incident, it wasn’t long before he became mentally unstable and was put into an asylum by Xu Biqing.
Chu Yan originally wanted to make a move on Xu Biqing, but before he could, she died suddenly.
As for the reason behind Xu Biqing’s sudden death, Chu Yan didn’t investigate.
At that time, Qin Zhao had disappeared while pregnant.
He was busy looking for her all over the world, uninterested in the circumstances of Xu Biqing’s death.
Not long after, the Xu Family businesses went bankrupt.
Mr. Xu died from a heart attack due to the stress.
Chu Yan, once he had some free time, started paying attention to the Xu Family’s matters.
Xu Biqing’s brother, who was also Xu Zhiwei’s biological father, had disappeared.
Chu Yan didn’t know where he had gone.
Other members of the Xu Family didn’t die, but they lived a fate worse than death.
The men were sold to the poorest areas in the Northwest to work in mines, and the women were also taken to the Northwest, only able to survive by selling their bodies.
Originally, the bankruptcy of the Xu Family wouldn’t have dragged them down, as it’s not the old society anymore.
Moreover, selling people is illegal, not something ordinary people would do.
As for who was behind this, it didn’t need guessing.
Qi Ling laughed again, as if Chu Yan had made a joke.
"How can you say that to me? Is it because your life is too stable now, that you’ve forgotten what you went through? I am different, I always remember.
As long as I breathe, I won’t let the Xu Family have a good life."
"Back then, the tragedy of your mother and you was caused by Mr. Xu and Xu Xingwen."
Chu Yan said disapprovingly, "They are the ones you should seek revenge against, there’s no need to send some distant relatives of the Xu Family to the Northwest too, right? Don’t lose your rationality.
You are their retribution now, sooner or later they will become your retribution as well."
With a screech, the sports car suddenly drifted.
Following that, it sped up even faster, like a fleeting shadow.
The two people in the car remained seated steadily, but neither was in a particularly good mood.
Chu Yan could feel that the current Qi Ling was filled with an intense and heavy aura of malevolence.
