Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 282: Ranking

Chen Xiao was silent for a few seconds, his gaze shifting to Zhang Yaqing. Some things were better said by her.

Zhang Yaqing immediately understood, "Mom, Chen Xiao’s personality isn’t as bad as you think. As long as you don’t upset him, he won’t hold it against you."

"Understood, understood." Li Shuya awkwardly forced a smile. Previously, she had been mocking Chen Xiao relentlessly, but now she could only comply.

The awkward feeling was indescribably uncomfortable.

"Alright, let’s eat." Old man Zhang Zongheng spoke up.

The Zhang family members also took out their prepared gifts for Zhang Yaqing.

Zhang Yaqing accepted them with a smile.

After dinner, Chen Xiao and Zhang Yaqing left the Zhang family.

After they left, Li Shuya kept asking questions about Chen Xiao, such as about his background and how he and Zhang Yaqing got together. She also urged the Zhang family to persuade Zhang Yaqing to firmly tie Chen Xiao, the golden turtle spouse, down.

Faced with Li Shuya’s drastic change in attitude, three generations of the Zhang family were speechless.

Zhang Wudao said, "Mom, you’re so materialistic; no wonder brother-in-law doesn’t want to deal with you. If you want sister to keep the golden turtle spouse, you should be less purposeful; the more you want something, the less you’ll get it."

"What do you know, kid?" Li Shuya was dissatisfied, "I am doing this for your sister’s good!"

"Enough." Zhang Zongheng gave Li Shuya a deep look, "Shuya, if you want Yaqing to be well, and want to gain something, then interfere less in young people’s affairs!"

"Today, Chen Xiao was already very courteous. If it were according to his character, what you did today would have already crossed his line!"

After coldly warning her, Zhang Zongheng left with his cane.

——

After returning to the villa, Chen Xiao saw Luo Qingli sitting elegantly on the sofa, her long legs crossed gracefully. She looked at Chen Xiao with an inexplicable expression as he returned.

Chen Xiao felt somewhat guilty; after all, when Lu Rugao was showing goodwill, Luo Qingli was handling matters at the Luo Group. Now she should also know what happened.

"Back already?" Luo Qingli opened her red lips, her tone carrying a hint of jealousy, "You still seem quite spirited, not like someone who’s been through a fierce battle."

She emphasized the word ’fierce battle’, with a strong sarcastic and jealous tone.

"Just a small matter."

Chen Xiao kept a straight face, but inwardly thought, since when did Luo Qingli also become fond of sarcasm? She was acting just like a jealous person.

"Let the new sister come down." Luo Qingli said lightly, "Now there are more people here, isn’t it time to set some rules?"

"I agree!" Zhang Yaqing was the first to express support, "Things should be orderly and clearly defined!"

Chen Xiao glared at her, "Aren’t things chaotic enough already?"

Zhang Yaqing stuck out her tongue, then turned and went upstairs, bringing down the just awakened Lu Rugao.

At this point, Lu Rugao was angrier than a ghost.

"Chen Xiao! What are you trying to do?" She glared at Chen Xiao furiously.

Chen Xiao pointed at Luo Qingli, "She’s the one who called you."

Lu Rugao coldly turned to Luo Qingli, "What do you want to do?"

"Naturally, to talk to you about the rules." Luo Qingli’s aloof and serene face broke into a smile, "In the future, I’ll be the eldest sister, Zhang Yaqing the second sister, and you will be the third sister, okay?"

Lu Rugao sneered, "How do you get to be the eldest sister?"

No, no!

Lu Rugao gritted her teeth. She realized she was falling into their trap.

She and Chen Xiao were only in a business deal!

Not a couple!

Why should she be part of the ranking?

"Because I am his first woman." Luo Qingli exuded an aura of the rightful first wife, "I was also once his wife."

"Then you’re just an ex-wife, right?" Lu Rugao sneered.

"I was the one who proposed the divorce." Luo Qingli lifted her chin, "I was the one who left him."

Lu Rugao sneered, "I am only in a transactional relationship with him; I won’t compare myself with women who willingly degrade themselves. You guys can arrange your own rankings, I won’t be involved."

"Besides, who knows how many are outside fighting for his affection with you two; how can you be sure who’s the eldest sister and who’s the second? Quite funny."

Luo Qingli spoke lightly, "Because I know he lasted only three minutes the first time."

Chen Xiao: "..."

Does he not care about his face?

"Alright! Everyone pipe down!" Chen Xiao interrupted Luo Qingli, "Since she doesn’t want to call you elder sister or second sister, then let’s make her address you as big lady and second lady. After all, she’s just a maid now, she isn’t qualified to compare with you."

"Makes sense." This suggestion made both Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing nod with approval, "If she feels wronged to be the third sister, then let her be a maid."

"I..." Lu Rugao gritted her teeth.

"Alright, let’s happily decide then." Luo Qingli carved a smile on her red lips, "Later, I’ll buy you some maid outfits, and every time you see us, remember to bow ninety degrees and respectfully call us big lady and second lady."

Lu Rugao bit her red lips, "You all are too much."

Luo Qingli smiled, "Now you have two choices: first, become a maid; second, become Third Sister, acknowledge us as the eldest and second sister."

Lu Rugao took a deep breath, lowered her stance, "Eldest Sister, Second Sister, I was naive earlier, I spoke loudly, please forgive me, can you?"

She conceded, since she’d already fallen for it.

Might as well get a better title.

Even being the third wife sounds better than a maid.

Anyway, she’ll soon be liberated; letting them bask temporarily is no big deal, right?

Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing exchanged a look, a hint of triumph in their eyes.

"Then from now on, you are the third sister." Luo Qingli smiled, "Call us sister when you see us."

"Alright." Lu Rugao gritted out a word.

Even if she felt annoyed, she had to accept it at this point.

Under someone’s roof, you must bow your head!

Once she’s back on top, she’ll squash these opportunists beneath her, forcing them to yield and acknowledge defeat!

At this moment, Chen Xiao’s phone chimed.

He picked it up and saw it was a message from Xu Yanran.

"I’m about to enter the auction with Mr. Bai, they have arranged someone to receive us."

"However, due to confidentiality, everyone has to hand in their phones before entering, and there’s a check for any eavesdropping devices."

"We’ll contact you once we acquire the Mermaid’s Tears."

"Okay!" Chen Xiao replied.

He felt somewhat excited; if Leng Baiyu and his team could really secure the Mermaid’s Tears, then only one of the seven main medicines would remain—the Bodhi Liuli Heart!

If he can gather these seven main medicines, he’ll be able to solve the Yang Poison within his body!
