City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1514 - 1513: Right Beside Me

Ever since the ’midnight ghost knocking on the door’ incident, Ling Zhengwei’s old house’s nearby neighbors felt they’ve gone mad with distress. Moreover, more people started believing that this place was unclean, having been haunted before.

Now with this situation recurring, it seems almost normal. Families of Ling Laojiu and Ling Laoliu sequentially invited mages to inspect and burned many talismans, but it seemed ineffective; occasionally, strange sounds could still be heard in the night.

This forced young neighbors to find support outside, while students could only stay in school dormitories or at classmates’ homes.

Ling Zhengwei recalled receiving a call from his daughter that day and thought the house might actually be uninhabitable; why else would he and his wife constantly argue after marriage, leading to a divorce?

Now Ye Qiu asked him to go house hunting. Recently, Ling Zhengwei was looking at small two-bedroom commercial houses; the prices were only in the range of over a million, not much different from the construction cost.

When neighboring families heard Ling Zhengwei was house hunting, they thought he couldn’t possibly be the one causing trouble, so they considered inviting Ling Zhengwei out for tea, to discuss selling their houses to him.

Ling Zhengwei was surprised when he heard the neighbors suggested this. He realized what kind of people they were, unwilling to live there themselves but wanting to sell to him. Previously, when he wanted to demolish his old house to build a new one, they objected.

Now they wanted him to buy their old houses, which he definitely refused.

When Ling Zhengwei refused, they wished to invite the young man driving a Land Rover out for tea negotiations.

After Ling Zhengwei told Ling Fei, she found it strange, making her dislike the neighbors’ character even more.

"Ye Qiu, my dad just said that nearby neighbors think the old houses are unclean and want to sell them to us," Ling Fei said.

"Fine, buy if it’s cheap, but not at a high price." Ye Qiu wasn’t worried about such matters; he had long seen through their character.

If they had agreed initially, he could’ve bought it at market price, but now it’s a haunted house; how could he possibly buy it at market price?

"Ye Qiu, didn’t you ask my dad to check out those residential houses?" Ling Fei asked, puzzled.

"Ling Fei, follow my advice; you won’t go wrong," Ye Qiu said.

Given that, Ling Fei discussed with her father.

After hanging up the phone with Ling Fei, Ye Qiu played computer games for another half an hour. When he went downstairs, he found his mother and sister had already prepared dinner.

These dishes were brought back from the nearby market by Chen Fang and Ye Xue, along with three women, who cooked them.

After Ye Qiu and his parents, sister, and Louise ate dinner together, Jiang Xiyue and Zhou Wenting left first.

After the two women left, Ye Qiu and Louise went upstairs. Ye Qiu took a shower first, followed by Louise. They entered Ye Qiu’s room, where Louise’s post-shower fragrance intrigued Ye Qiu.

"Qiu, I’m planning to return to Paris tomorrow," Louise said.

"So soon?"

Louise needed to return to the company to deal with several matters. Her collaboration with Jiang Xiyue was mostly settled; it wasn’t different from others, as Jiang Xiyue was just one of her agents.

Although it’s Ye Qiu’s company, the two women had to go their separate ways.

Thus, after handling these affairs, and having met Ye Qiu’s family, Louise intended to return first and later visit again when she had time.

Previously unfamiliar with Huaxia, Louise now found herself growing fond of its culture.

"Let me check the flights for you." Ye Qiu opened his computer to check tomorrow’s flights.

There were flights back to Paris, but they’d have to transfer at East Sea to fly to Paris.

Ye Qiu asked Louise to book her ticket first.

"Tomorrow, I’ll take you all for a tea outing and then see you off to the airport," Ye Qiu said.

Louise watched Ye Qiu, noticing he hadn’t done much.

Ye Qiu knew that apart from the final step, he had gained everything else.

"Louise, good night."

After kissing Louise’s face, he let her go to rest.

Louise could only go back first. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

After Louise left, Ye Qiu continued cultivation.

The next morning, Ye Qiu got up, freshened up, and went downstairs; he woke Louise and they packed their things, mainly Louise’s clothes, back into suitcases.

Downstairs, Chen Fang and Ye Xue were making breakfast.

"Mom, Sis, I’m taking Louise and her management team for morning tea, then sending them to the airport."

"Leaving so soon?" Chen Fang asked.

"Louise is quite busy," Ye Qiu said.

The two women and Ye Weidong could only see Louise out the door as they watched the two drive away, with Ye Qiu heading to the four-star hotel.

Then he picked up some management team members, arriving at a high-end tea lounge, called Zhou Wenting and Jiang Xiyue to join them directly.

In the lounge’s private room, compared to the meal at Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group, this was much richer.

"Feel free to eat here; their breakfast is rather nice."

When Jiang Xiyue and Zhou Wenting arrived, Zhou Wenting asked, "Louise, you headed back so quickly?"

"Not really quickly; it’s been a week coming and going. I have to return and busy myself with company matters," Louise said.

Zhou Wenting’s older sister still wanted to invite Louise for a meal but was surprised by Louise’s imminent return. Of course, this time Louise came representing herself and Ye Qiu’s company, not the Gauthier Family.

Zhou Wenting understood this.

However, people in Jinling assumed Louise, as a Gauthier Consortium representative, was inspecting the Jinling market.

Local prominent families were eager to act but hadn’t found the opportunity to negotiate with Louise and didn’t know exactly where she visited. They only saw from magazines and newspapers that Louise visited Xingyue Group and Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group; other families thought the Gauthier family was interested in these two companies.

"I was hoping to find time to take you out for some fun!" Zhou Wenting said.

Though she’s an internal medicine attending physician at the Affiliated Hospital, Zhou Wenting wanted to take a vacation and her higher-ups wouldn’t object.

But now Louise was leaving.

As the ordered tea snacks were served by the waitress, Ye Qiu invited everyone to eat when his phone rang, revealing Li Qianqian’s call.

"Qianqian, what’s up?"

"Ye Qiu, where is Miss Louise?" Li Qianqian asked.

She was asking on behalf of her father.

After all, if Louise represented the Gauthier Consortium in Jinling to assess the market, her father, as the one in charge, surely wanted to discuss with her.

"She’s right here with me, we’re having tea. What’s up?"
