Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 240: Misunderstandings

As the tension rose, everyone's eyes were on Zhang Jingyi, who held an annoyed expression at Zhao Kai.

Despite her annoyance, Zhao Kai felt even more wronged by the situation, especially now that Zhao Xin had arrived to see him in such a mess.

'Just who is messing with me? I don't even know who Zhang Jingyi is.' Zhao Kai wanted to cry but knew he couldn't do so at such an event. Otherwise, he would really be getting a thorough bashing from Zhao Xin for embarrassing her.

Thankfully, as if there was a blessing guiding him, Xu Feng lightly patted his shoulder and pulled him back.

"I'll explain it later, but let me deal with this first." Xu Feng said, unaware that one of the main culprits of Zhao Kai's demise happened to be him in this timeline.

Never once did he think the event that happened back then would come into play in today's event.

Since this mess was started by him, then it was only right that he would resolve it.

"Feng?" Confused, Zhao Kai didn't expect Xu Feng to go on the frontline.

'Truly my best brother!' He cried inwardly, unaware that the whole mess was done by him.

However, it didn't take long for him to notice it when Xu Feng waved his hand and greeted Zhang Jingyi warmly.

"Oh, it's you. I didn't expect us to meet on such an occasion." Xu Feng chuckled, feigning ignorance of the current tense atmosphere.

The moment Xu Feng greeted and the look of astonishment on Zhao Kai's face, Zhang Jingyi would have been a fool if she hadn't noticed something was amiss.

'That person responded when I called out for Zhao Kai, and even Miss Xin here was referring to that timid man as little brother. Damn, I got fooled by him.' Zhang Jingyi swiftly pieced the clues together and realized she had been deceived.

"So are you not called Zhao Kai?" Zhang Jingyi asked, her expression solemn.

"Nope," Xu Feng shook his head and replied, "I'm Xu Feng."

At this moment, even a fool was able to tell Xu Feng had somewhat deceived Zhang Jingyi into believing he was Zhao Kai, prompting the earlier misunderstandings.

As for Zhao Kai, he took back the statement he made for him almost instantaneously. 'You got me smacked hard by Thorin in the Divine World and now you even caused me such a big trouble here. I hate you, Feng!'

Naturally, Zhao Kai didn't dare to voice his frustration and merely smiled sheepishly, wanting to integrate himself as some side character.

"Seems like it's just a small misunderstanding." Acting as the host, Zhao Xin was quick in her actions to defuse the situation.

Xu Feng nodded his head. "Indeed, everyone here is friends of friends, so there's no need to mind it."

With that said, the crowd lost interest immediately, returning to their own discussion. After all, aside from coming here to congratulate Zhao Gaofu's birthday, they were also here to utilize the opportunity to strike a business connection with others.

Most of the time, these people here are busy and it would have been embarrassing if they had to go to each other individually to discuss business.

Thus, this party was the golden bridge opportunity that gave them an excuse to all meet up for a lengthy discussion.

Naturally, the Zhao Family also understood this aspect, which was the main reason why the venue was opened early in advance for certain types of people.

Meanwhile, with the misunderstanding resolved, Zhao Ming and Zhao Heng were displeased with the situation. They glanced at each other before promptly receiving a notice from the security guard.

"Oh, two young masters are having a brawl eh?" Zhao Ming, the eldest son of the family, was surprised by the news. He held a menacing gaze at Zhao Xin, who was trying to offer a private room for Xu Feng, Zhao Kai, and Zhang Jingyi to talk further.

"Since it's the two young masters from the Hans and Lang family, we naturally can't do anything. I'll tell my little sister how to resolve the matter." Zhao Ming responded, grinning.

'Hmph, kick us out from the board meetings. Let's see how you can resolve this issue once it escalates, Dear Xin.'

On the side, Zhao Heng, who was the second eldest, heard Zhao Ming's instruction and couldn't help himself but smirked coldly.

"You are really a great elder brother."

"What? Are you trying to inform her then?" Zhao Ming raised an eyebrow and questioned, clearly not a bit afraid that his little brother would expose him.

"Of course, not. I heard nothing." Zhao Heng laughed heartily. "I only saw a few beautiful ladies outside, and they seemed quite lonely. It would be a shame if I didn't accompany them. How would I have the time to manage others?"

"Hmph, you better be careful who you sleep with. The last time, you caused a big scandal, prompting your father to give you a severe beating."

"Rest assured, I'm not dumb enough to choose women like Zhang Jingyi's status. I'm only going to choose those inferior ones that can't influence much and are just gold diggers."

As Zhao Heng licked his lips, he quickly exited the venue, clearly wanting to search for his prey.

"What a perverted bastard." Zhao Ming rolled his eyes. He was married and was faithful to his wife, unlike Zhao Heng. Sooner or later, Zhao Heng was definitely going to pay the price for fooling around so many times.

While the undercurrent was being laid, in a private room, Zhang Jingyi was glaring at Xu Feng.

"Tell me. Was I really so terrifying that you needed to give me a fake name?" Zhang Jingyi questioned.

Both Zhao Xin and Zhao Kai turned to Xu Feng, seemingly perplexed at how he managed to come into contact with her.

Seeing their eyesight locked on him, Xu Feng adjusted his glasses and nodded his head.

"Yes, a woman of your stature is enough to bring a lot of problems to me. Hence, I used my buddy, Zhao Kai's name as a smokescreen. Also, I'm sure you didn't attend this birthday party for me anyway, so what's with the anger?"
