Chapter 636: Oppression from the Brother-in-Law
Chapter 636: Oppression from the Brother-in-Law
"President Zhan, why did you hurt yourself? President Zhan, why are you so upset?"
Jiang Qianhui said coldly, "We're not psychologists, why should we care so much? Everyone who needs to go to work should go to work!"
Jiang Qianhui left after speaking, leaving the employees looking at each other in bewilderment.
Zhan Zong really did hurt himself.
What does this mean? Could it be that General Zhan is proving his sincerity by sacrificing himself?
President Zhan is really risking his life to win back his ex-wife!
……
In the hospital, Zhan Yanxun regained consciousness, and the person who came into view was actually... Jiang Che.
"You're awake. What made you think of doing this?"
"Where is Jiang... Jiang Qianhui?"
Jiang Che said calmly, "My sister is at the company, of course."
Did she send you to see me?
"No, I came here by myself."
In just a few words, Zhan Yanxun felt his heart shatter into pieces.
Jiang Qianhui still refused to come to see him. She even comforted herself just now, saying that even if she didn't come, at least her brother could come, because she still cared about him.
However, my hopes were dashed once again.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, you can go now."
Zhan Yanxun felt indescribably lonely. At this moment, apart from Jiang Qianhui, he didn't want to speak to anyone who came to see him.
“You are Zhan Yanxun, I never thought you would do such a thing. Sui Sui and Gu Xunjing are getting married, and her feelings for you are a thing of the past. There is no need for you to continue to pester her.”
Zhan Yanxun gave a bitter smile and said, "Brother-in-law, do you think I'm not dead enough and want to finish me off?"
Uncle?
"It's probably inappropriate for you to address me like that now."
"You're Sui Sui's brother, which makes you my brother-in-law. Sui Sui and Gu Xunjing aren't married yet, so I still have a chance!"
"Late-blooming affection is less valuable than grass. I don't care if you did it for the greater good, but you still hurt Sui Sui. You are a hero to others, and there's no need to morally blackmail our Sui Sui. Knowing your predicament, we should forgive you."
"I know, just like Sui Sui said, when I hurt her, didn't I know right from wrong?"
It was simply a choice. At the time, I felt that eliminating the Black Knights was the most important thing, and love was nothing more than a trivial matter.
My past contempt and choices have destined me to bear the consequences I must now.
Jiang Che was somewhat surprised to hear Zhan Yanxun make such a profound self-criticism.
After all, he's a high-ranking person, and it's unexpected that he now realizes where he went wrong? He doesn't feel resentful because he thought he did something righteous. That's pretty good.
"Since that's the case, then let it go. Life is long, and you and Sui Sui should both live well."
"Life is a long journey. How can I live well if I can't walk it with Sui Sui?"
"You're quite stubborn. Sui Sui doesn't want to be with you, and no one can force her. Don't be so stubborn; stubbornness only hurts yourself. Sui Sui doesn't care about you anymore, so it's futile to hurt yourself any further."
"Did you come all this way just to tell me to give up?"
"Yes, and I also want to know where the great master of traditional Chinese medicine, Master Xing, is?"
"What do you want with Elder Xing?"
"I have my reasons for contacting Elder Xing. Since you've managed to get in touch with him, could you tell me where he is?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Yanxun suddenly laughed, a smile full of profound meaning.
Jiang Che frowned and said, "Zhan Yanxun, what are you laughing at?"
Zhan Yanxun said casually, "You just said I'm stubborn, but aren't you the same? You want to see Master Xing because you want to get treatment for Yang Huirong, who has disliked you since childhood, right?"
Jiang Che seemed a little flustered, but he did not deny it.
Zhan Yanxun said, "Everyone in Country A knows Yang Huirong and hates you the most, you illegitimate child. They've made things difficult for you and humiliated you since you were little, and yet you're looking for a doctor for her. It's ridiculous."
"Zhan Yanxun, stop with the nonsense and tell me where Elder Xing is."
Previously, Zhan Yanxun had summoned Master Xing to treat Yang Huirong's illness, but Yang Huirong refused.
Who is Master Xing? He is a medical giant, and countless people have tried to persuade him to come out of retirement to treat their illnesses, but it's all wishful thinking.
Yang Huirong actually dared to refuse Xing Lao's treatment and even gave him a hard time. This is simply going against the natural order and is an unforgivable crime.
Most of the well-known doctors in China are either students of Master Xing or have a relationship with him.
Because of Xing Lao's influence, none of the doctors were willing to treat Yang Huirong. As a result, Jiang Che had been searching for Xing Lao's whereabouts, knowing that only by finding Xing Lao could Yang Huirong's illness be cured.
However, Xing Lao was a man with no fixed abode and whose whereabouts were a mystery, so he could never find him.
He figured that if Zhan Yanxun could summon Elder Xing, he must know where Elder Xing was.
"Jiang Che, you just advised me not to be so stubborn."
Do you think Yang Huirong will agree to let Old Xing treat her if you go to him? I've mentioned it again before, asking Old Xing to treat Yang Huirong, but she refused because she doesn't want to owe me a favor. In this world, if I'm the second person she hates most, you should be number one. She certainly doesn't want to owe you a favor, and she won't let anyone you bring treat her.”
"Zhan Yanxun is my business. Right now, I just need to know where Elder Xing is."
"So what if you know where Master Xing is? Do you think it's that easy to invite a god out of the mountains? Do you think that once you find him and meet him, he will be willing to go to Yang Huirong for treatment? Save your breath."
"Of course I know that it's difficult to invite Elder Xing. It's your skill to be able to invite Elder Xing, and it's also my skill to be able to invite him."
"Do you know how many people want to persuade Master Xing to come out of seclusion? Even if you piled up a mountain of cash and offered him antiques and rare treasures with both hands, he wouldn't even look at them. Out of ten thousand people, maybe one could persuade Master Xing to come out of seclusion. Do you really think you have the ability?"
"Whether I have the ability or not is my business. No matter what the cost, I will ask Master Xing to come out of retirement! Just tell me where he is."
"Alright, I can tell you where he is. But I must advise you, don't waste your time, he won't treat Yang Huirong."
Where is Xing Lao?
"This is a secret. If you want to know this secret, you should pay the corresponding price. You must agree to one condition."
Jiang Che looked at Zhan Yanxun, knowing full well that Elder Xing's whereabouts wouldn't be so easy to find.
He thought for a moment and said firmly, "I can accept anything except helping you get back together with Sui Sui."
Zhan Yanxun's face darkened upon hearing this. He wanted Jiang Che to help him get back together with Jiang Qianhui. He never expected Jiang Che to completely block his path with a single sentence, effectively killing the conversation.
"Never mind then, I don't need anything else. Goodbye."
Zhan Yanxun had absolutely no desire to talk anymore.
Seeing this, Gu Xunjing calmly said, "I won't help you get back together with Sui Sui, but I can make Sui Sui... hate you even more."
Upon hearing this, every cell in Zhan Yanxun's body went on alert; this was a threat.
Not only did they refuse to help, but they also kicked me when I was down!
