Jiang Lu didnt delay. He first examined Xu Jias injury, confirming it was just a dislocated elbow joint, and then quickly realigned it with a snap.

Xu Jia was momentarily stunned, not yet comprehending what had happened when Jiang Lu released her hand. Since youre fine now, lets get back to the table. Your uncles should be arriving soon.

Hearing this, Xu Jia immediately dried her tears.

She had never feared anyone since childhood, except her uncle, who was a military officer.

It was because of her uncles influence that her brother had been able to join the military so easily.

Just as they sat down, the door of the private room opened again.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Xu Jia rushed over, playing the victim. Uncle, you finally came! Someone bullied me just now!

Oh? Who dared to bully you? Liang Tao asked with a gentle smile.

Jiang Lu and his sister, along with Wu Shu, went to greet Liang Tao and led him to the head seat.

Liang Tao was accompanied by Zhang Cheng, a soldier he had once commanded, who had started his own security company after leaving the military and had gained some fame domestically.

Jiang Lu greeted Zhang Cheng, and everyone took their seats.

Xu Jia, sitting beside Liang Tao, recounted her experience with a tone of grievance.

Uncle, you have to stand up for me! You cant let your niece be bullied like this! Xu Jia said, clinging to Liang Taos arm.

Liang Tao looked at Jiang Lu with a smile. With your brother Jiang Lu here, how could you possibly be bullied?

Jiang Lu, it seems your sister has some complaints about you!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lu immediately stood up with a serious expression, though he remained silent.

Liang Tao waved his hand nonchalantly at him. Sit down, sit down! No need to be so tense!

Seeing Jiang Lu being reprimanded, Wu Shu said to Liang Tao, Uncle Liang, my dad knew I was meeting you today and specifically asked me to bring you some fine wine!

Wu Shu presented the gift to Liang Tao.

Liang Tao didnt reach out to accept it. Instead, Zhang Cheng came forward, took the gift, and placed it in a corner.

Thank you for your fathers kindness, but Im getting older, and its better to drink less, Liang Tao replied, declining the offer.

Wu Shu was left speechless, not knowing what to say next.

Alright, you young ones must be hungry. Lets have the food served! Liang Tao concluded, and Zhang Cheng immediately left the room to instruct the staff to bring the dishes.

Chen Shui, still fuming, was walking towards the private room when she encountered Xia Wan.

Sister-in-law

Chen Shui started to speak but stopped abruptly upon hearing Chen Mos grunt behind her.

She smiled obediently at Xia Wan. Xia sister, what brings you here?

I was worried about you all, so I followed to check on things. Xia Wan reached out and took Chen Shuis hand. Are you hurt?

Xia Wan had seen everything that had happened.

With Chen MO present, Chen Shui was unlikely to come to harm.

No! But Im still angry about the whole situation! Chen Shuis gritted teeth made Xia Wan laugh.

Alright! Dont be angry anymore! I ordered your favorite sweet and sour sweet potatoes! Lets go try them! Chen MO ruffled Chen Shuis hair affectionately, unable to hide his fondness.

Due to health issues, Chen Shui had always had a bland diet, which she found frustrating.

Ever since Xia Wan had cured her, Chen Shui, now determined to enjoy all sorts of delicacies, especially favored sweet and rich foods.

Sure enough, Chen Shuis eyes lit up. She pulled Xia Wan towards the private room. Lets go, Xia sister! We have to hurry, or it wont taste good!

Upon entering the room, they saw Chen Shan looking slightly displeased. What trouble have you gotten into now?

Chen Shui immediately took a seat near Chen Shan. Dad, how can you say that about me! I was the one being bullied!

Oh? What happened? Chen Shan looked at Chen Mo.

Nothing much, its all resolved, Chen MO replied, not wanting to worry Chen Shan. Just a little quarrel between girls, nothing serious.

Chen MO made light of the situation, but Xia Wan knew it wasnt that simple.

She had already encountered Xu Jia and her group earlier, experiencing their unpleasant behavior, and now realized they were acquainted with Jiang Lu.

Moreover, she overheard Xu Jia mentioning her brother in the military command.

This indicated that Jiang Lu might also have connections to the military.

And this time, he had obviously come for Chen MO and her

Xia Wan thought more and more that she needed to talk to Chen MO about Jiang Lu as soon as possible..
