Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1027 Fortunately

When Situ Hong heard this, his expression changed instantly, and his arrogance subsided a bit.

He gritted his teeth. Although he felt unwilling, he also understood that Zhuge Mingkong was not trying to scare him.

If he really came into conflict with the owner of Sifang Building, not only would he not gain any advantage, but he would also have a hard time explaining himself to his family.

After a brief stalemate, Situ Hong said with a forced smile, "Well, Zhuge Mingkong, you're quite capable! From today on, our friendship is completely over!"

As he spoke, he glared at Jiang Xiaochuan fiercely, "Also, I want to see how long you can protect this kid!"

After saying these harsh words, Situ Hong snorted coldly and turned away with Mr. Ghost.

Zhuge Mingkong looked at Situ Hong's departing back, feeling mixed emotions.

Although this action today temporarily resolved the current crisis, it also completely offended Situ Hong, and will cause many troubles in the future.

"Brother Jiang, be careful next time. Situ Hong is a vindictive man and won't let go easily."

Zhuge Mingkong's tone was a bit solemn, but then he chuckled and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. I'll go to Situ's house in person in a few days and have a good talk with him. I think his anger should have mostly subsided by then."

"Brother Mingkong, thank you so much today."

Jiang Xiaochuan nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. If Zhuge Mingkong had not stepped forward, Situ Hong would have been a corpse, and he would have to face the endless pursuit of the Situ family.

"Why would we talk about this between you and me?"

Zhuge Mingkong waved his hand. "Besides, you came to Sifang Tower because of Yue'er. If I don't come forward, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully from now on."

As Situ Hong retreated in frustration, the crowd around him gradually dispersed, and everyone went to Xiaoqing to get their number plates, ready to enter the auction venue.

"Haha, my dear nephew is really loyal and righteous. His personality is exactly the same as that of Big Brother Hucheng when he was young. It is true that a tiger father will have a dog son."

Jiang Xiaochuan and Zhuge Mingkong were also about to leave when they suddenly heard a hearty laugh behind them.

The two turned around when they heard the voice, and saw the middle-aged man who had been criticizing Jiang Xiaochuan before walking slowly towards them with a gentle smile on his face, looking very friendly and kind.

But the old man Jin, who had white hair and a youthful face, was nowhere to be seen at this moment.

"Second Uncle Jiang."

Seeing the newcomer, Zhuge Mingkong hurriedly and respectfully saluted, "I didn't know you were here, Uncle Jiang. I was not able to greet you in time. This is really rude. I hope you can forgive me."

Jiang Zhenyue casually raised his hand, signaling Zhuge Mingkong not to be polite, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration: "That's all right. You didn't see me, but I was always watching you. Standing up for your friends is what a true man should do! Brother Hucheng can rest assured that he has a son like this."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Mingkong showed a bitter smile on his face.

To outsiders, offending an important member of the Situ family for the sake of a friend who seemed to have no background was definitely not a smart move, and was even a bit reckless.

What's worse is that when this matter reached the ears of his father Zhuge Hucheng, he would probably receive a severe scolding.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Mingkong suddenly felt bitter in his heart, and even his response was a little slow, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Xiaochuan looked up calmly and looked at Uncle Jiang carefully.

Apart from the villagers of Shitou Village, this was the first time he came into contact with someone with the same surname as Jiang in the outside world.

This man has an elegant face, a calm demeanor, and always has a friendly look on his face. The faint smile on the corner of his mouth makes people feel close to him unconsciously, but the majesty inadvertently revealed between his eyebrows shows his status as a long-time superior.

"it's not a big deal."

Jiang Zhenyue saw through Zhuge Mingkong's concerns at a glance and patted him on the shoulder. "Since I've witnessed this, it's our fate."

"How about this? In a few days, I'll treat you and that brat Situ Hong to a cup of tea and talk things out. With me mediating, I believe that brat won't dare to refuse to give me some face. Then I'll help you resolve this little conflict."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhuge Mingkong's face immediately showed gratitude.

As a core figure of the six major families, Jiang Zhenyue has a respected status in the Jiang family and has great say, almost equivalent to the acting head of the family.

With him stepping in to mediate, Situ Hong dared not continue to pester the issue.

This undoubtedly solved a big problem for him.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang!" Zhuge Mingkong quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

"Easy to do."

Jiang Zhenyue chuckled, his attitude still gentle, "The auction is about to start, you young people should go in quickly, don't miss out on the items you like."

Before turning around and leaving, Jiang Zhenyue's gaze seemed to fall on Jiang Xiaochuan unintentionally, and he looked at him deeply.

Although it was just a brief glance, the complex and incomprehensible look in his eyes made Jiang Xiaochuan feel inexplicably startled.

It felt like being touched by something invisible.

"Brother Jiang, it seems... you really have nothing to do with the Jiang family in Beijing."

On the way to the entrance of the auction house, Zhuge Mingkong suddenly spoke, with a hint of relief in his tone.

"Hmm? What could be the connection?"

Jiang Xiaochuan replied absentmindedly, his mind still replaying Jiang Zhenyue's last meaningful look.

It was clearly the first time they met, so why did that look make him feel so strange?

"I thought……"

Zhuge Mingkong said half of his words, shook his head, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and then he tactfully stopped talking about this topic.

He then enthusiastically led Jiang Xiaochuan towards the auction venue, "Nothing, let's go."

The further they walked in, the quieter the surrounding environment became, and the number of people became noticeably smaller.

There were originally some scattered guests in the corridor, but now most of them were heading towards the elevator leading to the upper floors.

Jiang Xiaochuan looked in the direction of those people and couldn't help wondering: "Aren't we going to the auction? Why are they all going up there?"

Zhuge Mingkong explained with a smile, "This Sifanglou auction is divided into the inner and outer areas."

"The outer area is upstairs, with a larger venue. It mainly auctions relatively common and common rare items, antiques, or luxury goods, targeting the majority of guests. The real highlight—the inner area auction—is here underground."

As he spoke, Zhuge Mingkong gestured to his feet with his eyes and said, "Just follow me."

The two continued forward, passing through several quiet corridors, and came to a seemingly inconspicuous hidden place.

There is an elevator here that requires exclusive permissions to ride.

Two guards, wearing black slim-fitting uniforms and looking very tough, stood by the elevator door.

After the guards carefully checked the special number plates in Zhuge Mingkong and Jiang Xiaochuan's hands, one of them nodded slightly, slowly opened the heavy elevator door, and invited the two in.

When the elevator door slid open silently again, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear, which made Jiang Xiaochuan, who was here for the first time, feel a slight shock in his heart.

This is an extremely grandly designed underground hall with a very high ceiling. The dome is inlaid with countless dazzling crystal chandeliers, which illuminate this vast underground space as if it were daytime, without any feeling of oppression.

In the hall, many guests were already talking in low voices or sitting quietly waiting.

Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan and Zhuge Mingkong walking out of the elevator, two charming waitresses immediately came up to greet them.
