NOVEL NEXT Chapter 114 - She Beat Him Up?
Xiao Jinlan briefly recounted what Rong Ruo had said to her that day.
Zhai Tianlong was so angry that he could not even continue to play his game. “What nonsense. My brother-in-law was the one who sent us home that day. He treats my sister very well. It’s not like you don’t know how much money the Bo family has. How could my sister sell fake medicine just to return the money? What nonsense!”
With that, he turned off the game and tapped on the social media page of First High School, flashing it in front of his mother. “Look, they’re all praising my sister, how could anyone say that they’ve been fooled?”
Xiao Jinlan gave it a rough look, and the more she saw, the darker her face became. At the side, her phone buzzed non-stop, and it was filled with calls from Hu Xiuli and Rong Ruo.
She immediately turned off her phone, gritted her teeth, and said, “Xiuli, this daughter of yours is really bad! To think that I liked her so much in the past! I really don’t like how two faced she is!”
Then, she turned to look at her husband. After hesitating for a second, she said, “Hubby, then your cooperation with the Rong family…”
Zhai Siqiao pondered for a moment. “We can’t say that Rong Ruo’s character represents the entire Rong family, but… anyway, I am now in the hospital. Let’s put aside the matter of cooperation for now.”
Zhai Tianlong was quite angry. “Put aside what? You can just reject it!”
Zhai Siqiao clicked his tongue. “What do you know about adults’ matters? They helped me find a doctor at least. Although the doctor’s skills weren’t very good… It’s still out of kindness, right?”
Xiao Jinlan saw that her husband and son were arguing, so she quickly changed the topic. “Let’s talk about the cooperation later. The most important thing now is your illness. It’s Saturday tomorrow. I’ll personally go to the Su family’s house and apologize to Su Ye. I’ll beg her to treat your father’s illness!”
—
Early on Saturday morning, Xu Huanying went to the living room to get a magazine. She saw a rather large, express delivery box on the coffee table.
It was heavy.
Recently, Su Jinyang had been carrying out the cooperation with the Wang family in an orderly manner according to Nan Bowan’s plan.
The family had more money, so Xu Huanying bought herself a lot of nice things.
Looking at the shape of the express delivery, she couldn’t figure out what it was, so she took a knife at the side and opened it.
As soon as he opened it, a smell of ink assaulted her.
It was a thick volume of ink paintings— about fifty of them.
“That’s my parcel,” Su Ye, who had gone for a run in the morning, glanced at the paintings and said casually, “Don’t open my parcels in the future.”
Xu Huanying was choked by the smell of the paintings and coughed. “Where did you get these?”
Su Ye said nothing.
These was the paintings that Master Ye had sent over for her perusal.
The starting price of Master Ye’s painting was seven figures. There were 52 of them.
“Don’t spend money recklessly. It’s not easy for your father to earn money!”
Su Ye glanced at her and took the painting upstairs.
Xu Huanying shook her head. Just as she was about to return to her room, she heard Ms. Zhang rush in to inform her. “Madam, Mrs. Zhai is here to visit.”
Xu Huanying was stunned for a moment, as if she did not hear her clearly. “The Zhai family? The prominent family in south city?!”
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm “Yes, Mrs. Zhai is here personally!”
Xu Huanying’s social circle was divided into ranks. In the past, she had always been on the edge of the lowest rank. Recently, when the Su family and the Wang family discussed cooperation, she was barely able to squeeze into the middle ranks.
The Zhai family had a strong background, and Zhai Siqiao was not a person who spoke harshly.
In the circle of mistresses in the capital, Xiao Jinlan was a wealthy lady who stood at the top of the pyramid!
Normally, it would be difficult for Xu Huanying to meet her, so she could only watch Hu Xiuli suck up to Xiao Jinlan.
She quickly ordered the servants to prepare tea and asked Ms. Zhang to invite her in.
Seeing Xiao Jinlan standing in front of her, Xu Huanying was very excited.
“Mrs. Zhai, please take a seat. I didn’t know that you were coming, and I didn’t prepare anything…”
“Don’t trouble yourself.” Xiao Jinlan was very amiable, but her natural aura was intimidating. “I’m here today to look for your daughter.”
To look for her?
Xu Huanying felt anxious.
Xiao Jinlan saw that she was a little nervous, so she quickly stated her purpose of coming. “Madam Su, it’s like this. Last night, my husband was in the hospital…”
Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, she heard Xu Huanying gasp and ask, “She beat him up?!”
