Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mrs. Hou was extremely embarrassed and said apologetically, “I’m really sorry.” When Hou Gui heard this, he frowned and looked a little unhappy. “Alright, then 1’11 take my leave first.” After Hou Gui finished speaking, he stood up and left. Hou Qiang hurriedly followed. After the two of them walked out of the villa, the smile on Mrs. Hou’s face faded. “Junlai is really getting more and more insensible. The head of the inner clan came to our house to congratulate him personally, but he didn’t even see him.”
Mr. Hou said, “Junlai is already so old, so let him take care of his own matters. Why are you always interfering? In the past, when we went to send gifts during the New Year, which one of them wasn’t returned? Now that Hou Gui has come all the way to see Junlai, he must have something to ask of him.” With that said, Mr. Hou continued, “Jun Lai is only Jane Xing’er’s business partner now, so if Hou Gui really asked him to help recommend him, he will be in a difficult position, so he might as well not see him.”
“Yes! You’re right.” Mrs. Hou nodded. At this moment, Mrs. Hou’s phone suddenly rang. After the first call was hung up, the second one came right after. Mrs. Hou picked them up one by one. Hou Xiaoyu asked curiously, “Mom, who was it? Who called you so many times?” Mrs. Hou replied, “Your grandmother’s relative!” Mrs. Hou seemed a little smug. “I don’t know how long it’s been since we broke off contact. Just now, she called me repeatedly to catch up with me. She said that she wants to come to our house as a guest to see Junlai and Jian Xing’er!” At this point, Mrs. Hou smiled happily. “Previously, they looked down on our family. Now, all of them want to cozy up to me. It’s all thanks to Jian Xing’er!” Mrs. Hou was in high spirits.
“None of your relatives are easy to deal with. Each one of them is more snobbish than the other!” Mr. Hou snorted. At the mention of Mrs. Hou’s family, Mr. Hou was very unhappy. A few years ago, when Mr. Hou Junlai opened his company, he was still short of more than 200,000 yuan, so Mr. Hou had no choice but to borrow money from Mrs. Hou’s family. When those people heard that he wanted to borrow money, they didn’t even let him in and even scolded him. 200,000 yuan was nothing to Mrs. Hou’s family, but they didn’t lend him a single cent. Mr. Hou held a grudge over this matter even until now.
“They went overboard, but we have to reflect upon ourselves as well, right?” Mrs. Hou said, “If you were capable, we wouldn’t have to borrow more than 200,000 yuan from others. Besides, my family doesn’t like you because you’re incapable.” These words hit Mr. Hou’s sore spot. “Back then, I was a rich and gorgeous young lady. As for you, you didn’t have money or impressive capabilities. In order to marry you, I cut off all ties with my family and haven’t contacted them until now.” Mrs. Hou sighed softly as she said, “This time, I agreed to let them come over because I want them to see that I didn’t do make the wrong choice by choosing you back then.” Mr. Hou felt much better when he heard this.
Jian Xing’er drove to the hospital. Just as she arrived at the entrance of the hospital, she saw that the entrance was surrounded by a crowd. “Please let me go first. I’ve seen many doctors regarding my illness, but none of them were effective. I heard that Doctor Li’s medical skills are excellent, so I rushed over from thousands of miles away. If I don’t see Doctor Li today, I won’t leave!”
“You can come again in six months!”
…..
“Why?”
“There are at least eight thousand patients scheduled with Doctor Li. Moreover, I specifically found someone to ask. If I want Doctor Li’s treatment, the registration fee alone costs five hundred thousand.” Everyone at the door discussed animatedly. Jian Xing’er frowned when she heard this. Shen Qiang was too much. Just the registration fee was as high as five hundred thousand. Ordinary people couldn’t fork out so much money.
Jian Xing’er frowned as she walked through the crowd into the hospital lobby. Jian Xing’er had been famous recently, but not many people had seen her true face. Therefore, even if Jian Xing’er strode through the crowd like this, no one could recognize her. Jian Xing’er had always liked to keep a low profile, so when Shen Qiang asked to take a photo of her as publicity, she rejected him without hesitation. Not only in the hospital, but even the Tianmei Corporation, Jian Xing’er, had long told Sun Yue that her true identity had to be kept a secret. Yesterday, the matter of the Tianmei Corporation had caused a commotion, and only Jian Xing’er’s name was on the news, but there was no record of her. Jian Xing’er’s name was already known to everyone in the Demon Province. Therefore, Jian Xing’er’s name was known to everyone in the Demon Province..
