Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 215: Thinking About It, Truly Pitiful!
Until they returned to the guesthouse, Jiang Xingye was sullen. As soon as they entered, he pressed Xu Qinghuan against the door, his dark eyes deep and filled with grievance, looking pitifully at her.
Xu Qinghuan couldn’t help but laugh, wrapping her arms around his neck and tilting her head, "Why are you mad at me? It’s not like I provoked you. I’m also a victim, okay? I can’t even enjoy my fiancé enough, how could I bear to give him to someone else."
That woman’s brain was definitely damaged, the kind that makes Xu Qinghuan feel an inescapable humiliation, even more disgusting than swallowing a fly.
However, since she was a stranger, Xu Qinghuan just regarded it as being barked at by a dog and naturally didn’t intend to take it to heart.
"Not mad at you." Jiang Xingye pursed his lips; he simply saw Xu Qinghuan hesitate for a moment, which felt like a stab to his heart.
"Then don’t be angry!" Xu Qinghuan rubbed his face, "They are people we don’t know, and perhaps we’ll never meet again. There’s no need to take it to heart."
She coaxed Jiang Xingye and kissed the corner of his lips.
"Is the Yue Family in Yan City very powerful?" Jiang Xingye couldn’t help but ask.
Xu Qinghuan nodded, "There are a few powerful families in Yan City. The Huo Family is one, then the Yue Family, although I’m not sure if that woman belonged to the Yue Family I know, and then there’s the Lu Family and the Jiang Family."
Heh, listening to that, it seems they’ve all had some interaction with them.
"However, in the ups and downs of officialdom, thirty years east, thirty years west. What seems impressive today may not be so tomorrow. There’s a saying: Never belittle a young man’s poverty. You’re still young, and one day you’ll stand on a high place too."
Xu Qinghuan didn’t mean to encourage him but was stating a fact she knew.
"Hmm." Jiang Xingye responded gloomily, holding her tightly in his arms. One day, he would stand in a high place and protect his girl, not letting anyone bully her.
Seeing her being humiliated by others today, his heart felt like it was cut with a knife.
Early the next morning, Xu Qinghuan was making pills, and Shao Lizhong didn’t come over, either delayed or realizing it was futile.
Jiang Xingye assisted her, and they soon finished making the pills, each the size of an adult finger, a total of one hundred and twelve. Once dried, Xu Qinghuan put them away.
She discreetly placed some into a space while no one was watching.
The rest were left outside to divert attention.
At eleven-thirty, just as the two were about to eat, Shao Lizhong hurriedly arrived, "Doctor Xu, please come with me now; someone wants to see you."
"Who wants to see me?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
"Someone from logistics, anyway a big leader. Just come with me," Shao Lizhong said.
Xu Qinghuan smiled, "Dean Shao, who am I to be eligible to meet with a big leader? Please don’t put me on the spot."
With that, Xu Qinghuan pulled Jiang Xingye towards Huo Zui’s ward, and Shao Lizhong, thinking she was going to check on Huo Zui, followed them, trying to persuade along the way.
Upon reaching the ward, Shao Lizhong stopped talking, worried about disturbing Huo Zui.
Huo Chi was also there, seeing Xu Qinghuan, "I was just about to find you two."
He focused on Jiang Xingye.
Xu Qinghuan casually asked, "Why are you looking for us? We’re going to the furniture store to look at furniture in the afternoon."
"Furniture shopping? Are you two planning to get married? Have you bought a house? Where?"
Huo Zui lowered his eyes, hiding a hint of loneliness and unwillingness.
He felt that he was only lacking time compared to Jiang Xingye; if only he had met Xu Qinghuan first.
"Haven’t bought one yet. Do you have any recommendations? I want to buy a house here." Xu Qinghuan planned to invest in property; buying now would undoubtedly be the most cost-effective.
Siheyuan in Yan City, small Western-style houses in Shen City, are essential real estate.
Jiang Xingye maintained a calm face, but was secretly wary of Huo Zui, as men are very sensitive to oppositional atmospheres.
"I know of a suitable one. A brother from an aristocratic family is planning to move abroad. There’s a siheyuan nearby the Palace area, well-located, and the house is well-maintained, with a three-section courtyard. If you’re interested, I can introduce you," Huo Zui said.
His eyes shone brightly, almost blinding Huo Chi. Since his brother’s leg injury, it was the first time he looked so happy.
"Yes, there’s such a person, I know where they are. I can take you," Huo Chi quickly added.
"All right, let’s go later." Xu Qinghuan put ten newly made pills in a box and handed them to Huo Zui, "One hundred yuan each, can you settle it in cash?"
Shao Lizhong almost knelt at the door, wondering what kind of pills could be so expensive? 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Huo Zui was also stunned, incredulously looking at Xu Qinghuan.
He wasn’t objecting to the price, just that no one had ever been so blatantly money-minded. Glancing at outsiders by the door, Huo Zui handed Xu Qinghuan a savings book without hesitation, "I don’t have that much cash, please go withdraw it yourself."
As Xu Qinghuan was about to take it, Jiang Xingye reached out and grabbed the savings book.
Huo Zui didn’t want to give it to him, tugging back, Jiang Xingye held his ground. They both were stubborn, and seeing the savings book about to tear, Huo Chi quickly intervened, "Give it to me. I’ll go withdraw."
Huo Zui looked at Xu Qinghuan with eyes full of disappointment, ultimately letting go, and Jiang Xingye also stopped struggling.
Huo Zui took a pill; the itchy and tingling sensation returned, and he pressed on his leg, his forehead sweating lightly, "Doctor Xu, did you change the formula? Why does it feel even more uncomfortable than before?"
Especially around the knee where he had surgery, the discomfort was concentrated there.
Shen Xiuqin came to deliver food to her son and heard this, feeling very uneasy.
Xu Qinghuan said, "It’s normal! Previously, your knee was damaged, and your lower leg lost sensation due to muscle atrophy and blocked meridians. The previous pills were mainly to repair your meridians and improve blood flow in your lower leg. Now that this function is restored, the effects focus on the knee."
She said nonchalantly, "Bear with it!"
Shen Xiuqin felt relieved, "Huanhuan, why don’t you and Jiang come to our house for a meal? Let Chi take you."
Xu Qinghuan said, "Thank you, Aunt Shen, but Huo Chi is taking us to see the house, and we have things to do in the afternoon. Another day when we’re free, we’ll come. By the way, Huo Camp Commander’s leg should be observed for a few more days and then it’s almost time for him to be discharged. It’s more convenient to recover at home."
"Oh, that sounds great!"
Huo Zui kept his head down. She called out to Huo Chi but addressed him as Huo Camp Commander. He longed to hear her call him ’A Zui’, wondering how it would feel. He was even beginning to envy Huo Chi now.
Thinking about it, it’s quite pitiful!
Once out of the hospital, Huo Chi patted Jiang Xingye’s shoulder, "Originally, I wanted to ask you for a fight. My dad said I couldn’t survive more than three moves from you."
"Hmm!"
As Jiang Xingye’s voice fell, he flipped Huo Chi over with one hand, slamming him to the ground without mercy.
