Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 319 - 178: The Power Struggle Is Always Cruel—Victory Belongs to the King, an Unchanging Truth_3
The two originally agreed to go handle the divorce procedures, but now they didn’t even get a chance to step out.
However, at this moment, Yang Chen still had Zhang Jun and the others’ illegal sale of grouper hanging over them, which he hadn’t exposed.
This was the trump card to force Zhang Juan to compromise.
Due to injuries, Yang Chen stayed at Longmei Hospital.
It offered the service of a presidential suite in a five-star hotel; calling it hospitalization was more like saying he was there to enjoy himself.
Actually, it wasn’t necessary to be hospitalized; Yang Chen’s body, having undergone systematic modification, possessed self-repair capabilities, and he would recover in a day or two.
But he definitely had to stay hospitalized, otherwise how could he keep Li Baoqing and his wife in line?
With nothing to do, Yang Chen asked Yu Shishi to bring his painting supplies.
Last time, Yang Chen painted a piece titled "Alone Fishing in the Cold River," depicting the scenery of a lone boat and an old man with a conical hat fishing in the snowy, icy winter.
Since he had covered winter, he couldn’t leave out spring, summer, and autumn.
Thus, Yang Chen painted "Spring River Flower Moon Night," "Lotus Blooms Different in the Sun," and "After the Rain in the Empty Mountain."
This completed the set of the four seasons, all with ancient poems as the background, exuding elegance and depth.
In the evening, Yu Shishi came to see Yang Chen.
Seeing the three paintings lying on the hospital room floor, Yu Shishi was captivated, as if she had become a person in the paintings, feeling like she was there.
"Sir, your paintings are getting better and better. I feel like I’m part of the painting; it’s such an immersive experience. Sir, you are incredibly talented," Yu Shishi said admiringly.
At this moment, the system issued a reminder.
"Yu Shishi’s loyalty to the owner has increased to 80."
The system doesn’t lie; Yu Shishi was indeed impressed by Yang Chen’s talent.
Yang Chen joked, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key, I have many strengths, and you’ll have the chance to discover them in the future."
Yu Shishi giggled, "Hehe... then I’ll have to stay with you always, I want to discover all your strengths. Come on, I made you some soup, drink it while it’s hot."
Yang Chen looked at it, "Oh my, ginseng and black chicken soup; are you trying to fortify me until I cough up blood?"
"Shishi, my body isn’t in the right condition right now. If I drink such a potent soup, I might not be able to sleep," Yang Chen teased while drinking.
Yu Shishi burst into laughter, and said, "It’s not that exaggerated, is it? If it really doesn’t work, you can call your girlfriend to keep watch for the night."
Yang Chen just wanted to tease Yu Shishi to stay for the night when Xue Yinong and Li Lianxin arrived.
Xue Yinong: "Mr. Yang, how are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
Yang Chen: "I feel okay."
Xue Yinong: "Aunt Lan and I made some soup, Mr. Yang, have some to replenish your energy and strengthen your body; it’s good for your recovery."
After speaking, Li Lianxin opened the thermos box.
Oh boy, there’s also large ginseng, caterpillar fungus, and something whip-shaped inside.
Yang Chen was going crazy. Ladies, you made such potent soup, are you trying to set me on fire internally?
It’s good for nourishment, but drinking so much at once, my body can’t handle it.
"Well... Shishi, you might as well stay overnight," Yang Chen joked.
Yu Shishi blushed and lowered her head, "Alright..."
Seeing this wasn’t right, Xue Yinong quickly said, "I’m free these days, why don’t I stay here to chat with Mr. Yang at night? Miss Yu has to work during the day, and it would affect her state if she doesn’t sleep well at night."
Yu Shishi quickly said, "No, no, he’s my man, I should be the one to guard him. Miss Xue, you’re so busy and noble, how can I let you do such things?"
Xue Yinong: "It’s fine, I’m quite free these days."
Li Lianxin said, "Why don’t you both stop arguing, I’ll stay then."
All three were shocked.
Yang Chen thought, "Aunt Lan, are you serious? You made me such strong soup and want to stay to take care of me, do you have any ulterior motives?"
At this moment, Xue Yinong noticed the paintings on the floor next to them; mainly, the hospital room was so big that without a keen observation, the paintings on the floor couldn’t even be seen. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Xue Yinong walked over to appreciate them and praised, "Mr. Yang, are these three paintings newly created by you?"
Yang Chen took a sip of soup and said, "Yes! I had nothing to do, so I casually painted to pass the time."
Although not a professional collector, Xue Yinong had some knowledge in this area, and based on her appreciation ability, these three paintings were of master level, even better than the previous "Alone Fishing in the Cold River."
Li Lianxin whispered, "Miss, Mr. Yang’s craftsmanship is improving. Old Hong mentioned that experts evaluated the previous painting, and a little maneuvering could get it auctioned for 8 to 10 million. It seems Mr. Yang’s theme covers the four seasons; if he completes the four paintings, the value will surely increase!"
Xue Yinong furrowed her brow, her mind racing, and after some thought, she nodded gently.
Then she walked back, took out a checkbook, and placed it in front of Yang Chen, saying, "Mr. Yang, I can see you’ve painted the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Since I’ve bought winter, sell spring, summer, and autumn to me as well, so I can complete the set. Feel free to fill in your price, Mr. Yang."
Xue Yinong’s intention was to show respect to Yang Chen, but this put Yang Chen in a bit of a dilemma.
Filling in a high amount felt a bit embarrassing.
Filling in less felt like a loss.
Understandingly, Yu Shishi immediately said, "Sir is drinking soup, let me fill it in. Can I really fill in anything?"
