Then, he said to Zhai Yunsheng: “Master Sheng, apologies for troubling you previously. Generally speaking, a private care physician is only responsible for their employer’s health. As a result, there is no need for you to drive your employee around. You can let me pick up and drop off my sister.”
Jian Yichen’s eyebrows were crooked as he said this. Although he appeared to be incredibly polite and courteous on the surface level, his stomach was filled with evil tricks.
If Zhai Yunsheng could mention the duties and obligations of a private care physician, he could also mention them!
Following this, the three of them got onto the elevator. After a moment, the elevator reached the underground parking lot.
Jian Yichen directed Jian Yiling to get into his car.
Jian Yiling hesitated for a moment before she got in.
Then, Jian Yichen started the car and drove away.
As he passed by Zhai Yunsheng, he rolled down the car window and gave him a smug smile.
Once the car left the underground parking lot, Jian Yichen turned his head to look at Jian Yiling. Jian Yiling was seated in the front passenger seat.
Her face appeared to be calm and indifferent.
As he glanced at her, the smile in Jian Yichen’s eyes disappeared. It seemed as though his eyes were deep in thought.
The image of a tombstone appeared in his mind. There was a black and white photo on that tombstone.
As he thought about this, Jian Yichen reached Beijing University. As Jian Yiling left for class, he sat there and watched her walk away.
For a moment, he wanted to ask Jian Yiling if she could call him ‘sister’ again. He wanted to ask her whether she could smile as carefree as before.
Finally, he wanted to ask whether their family could go back to what it was…

Qin Hongzhi approached Li Zhuojia once again.
Last time, Qin Hongzhi had sent his subordinates to invite Li Zhuojia. However, his subordinates failed to do so.
As a result, Qin Hongzhi decided to go in person this time.
The two of them looked at each other silently. On one hand, there was the Chairman of the Qin Group. He was a powerful man with an intimidating aura. On the other hand, there was an ordinary middle-aged man who didn’t look imposing at all.
Based on their appearances, it didn’t seem as though the two of them would sit down and have a chat on an equal footing.
This time around, Li Zhuojia didn’t refuse the invitation. He agreed to have a chat with Qin Hongzhi.
And thus, the two of them found a suitable spot to sit down and talk.
LI Zhuojia and Qin Hongzhi sat down in a courtyard of the Qin family. The courtyard’s design was rather classical.
The tables and chairs in the courtyard carried traces of age.
Once the two of them were seated, Qin Hongzhi got straight to the point: “Mr. Li, I’ve heard that you’ve accepted Qin Hongrui’s case?”
Li Zhuojia replied in a rather calm tone. He didn’t mention anything important in his words: “Mr. Qin, I don’t think you just heard about this. If you’re interested in this matter, you could talk to your cousin about it. He can tell you what you want to know.”
Qin Hongzhi continued to size up Li Zhuojia as he said: “Mr. Li, I’m very happy that you’re accepting my cousin’s case.”
“Well, it’s pretty obvious that you’re not here to talk about your happiness.”
“Yes,” Qin Hongzhi replied. He decided to not beat around the bush anymore: “I want to ask you to make a deal with me. If my cousin gives Lahaisen Hospital the shares that he’s holding as payment, could I pay a high price to buy those shares from you?”
“Mr. Qin, if this is the business you’re talking about, what you want is not yet in our hands. As a result, we really cannot give you an exact answer for something that we do not hold.”
“I understand. However, Mr. Li, I can assure you that Lahaisen Hospital will definitely not suffer losses from this deal.”
