Chapter 37
Shocked
As soon as Hou Junlai arrived home, he received a call from the Li family’s head.
The Li family’s patriarch said that he would ask the CEO of the Li Corporation’s Sea City branch to look for Hou Junlai tomorrow to discuss the next collaboration. In addition, he would invest a billion yuan in Hou Junlai’s company!
Hou Junlai was immediately stunned.
He was shocked.
Hou Junlai didn’t expect Jian Xing’er to resolve the matter so quickly and that even the Li family’s patriarch called him.
When Mrs. Hou saw Hou Junlai, she immediately asked, “Junlai, how was it? Did Jian Xing’er agree?”
Hou Junlai said, “Jian Xing’er helped!”
Hou Junlai told her everything.
When the Hou family heard Hou Junlai’s words, they were a little excited.
Mrs. Hou said in shock, “I didn’t expect Jian Xing’er to have such a good relationship with the Li family. She resolved such a big matter with a single phone call.”
“Although Junlai is working with a Sea City branch, it’s much better than Liu Xin’er’s family.”
“Now, another billion yuan has been invested. This is simply a blessing from the heavens!”
Mrs. Hou was clearly a little excited.
Mr. Hou and Hou Xiaoyu were also very excited.
Cooperating with the Li family’s company was a matter of pride. As for the benefits, there was no need to mention them.
Although the company’s problem had been resolved, Hou Junlai was very unhappy.
Mr. Hou sighed and said, “I was right at that time! I said that Jian Xing’er is much better than Liu Xin’er, but you guys didn’t believe me.”
Mrs. Hou said, “If I had known that Jian Xing’er was so impressive, I wouldn’t have asked Junlai to divorce her.”
“It’s fine. I’ll look for Jian Xing’er tomorrow and get her to remarry Junlai. She likes Junlai so much. As long as I tell her, she’ll definitely look for Junlai.”
Hou Junlai said angrily, “Mom, are you afraid that I haven’t embarrassed myself enough?”
Mrs. Hou said shamelessly, “I’m doing this for your own good!”
Hou Junlai was a little angry, so he returned to his room.
Jian Xing’er decided to leave Sea City after settling her matters. She couldn’t leave without a car, so she decided to go take a look.
While she was looking at cars, Jian Xing’er received a call.
It was a call from the university teacher.
The teacher told Jian Xing’er that they were having a dinner at Sea City’s Golden Crown Hotel tonight. All the classmates were coming, and Hou Junlai was among them.
Although it was a gathering, it was actually to show off and compare with each other.
Jian Xing’er was a financial major.
Most people in this profession wanted to start their own company after graduation.
When the entire class graduated, they opened companies or factories and became bosses.
Only Jian Xing’er didn’t have a company and was the Hou family’s stay-at-home daughter-in-law.
Ever since they graduated, every time there was a gathering, her classmates would mock Jian Xing’er. Even the teacher felt that Jian Xing’er was the only useless student he had had in so many years.
In the past, Jian Xing’er had endured it in order to be with Hou Junlai.
But now, they were divorced!
Jian Xing’er didn’t care anymore.
Since it was a class reunion, she had to go.
Many students arrived at the Golden Crown Hotel an hour early. Everyone arrived in luxury cars and was dressed in branded clothes. They were very ostentatious.
Hou Junlai had also arrived!
As soon as Hou Junlai got out of the car, many people surrounded him.
Back then, Hou Junlai was the most popular student in school.
A muscular man in a green suit went forward and hugged Hou Junlai’s shoulder as he said with a smile, “Junlai, you’re getting more and more handsome!”
“I heard that you dumped Jian Xing’er. Is that true?”
Hou Junlai didn’t want to talk about this.
This man’s name was Wang Shuai. He was Hou Junlai’s best friend when he was in university.
Later on, Wang Shuai married into a wealthy family and opened his own company. He became one of the wealthiest classmates among them and had basically reached the peak of his life.
Previously, Jian Xing’er was Hou Junlai’s wife, so these classmates also gave Hou Junlai face and didn’t go overboard.
Now that they were divorced, many people began to mock Jian Xing’er.
These students basically all had companies in other regions and didn’t know that the Li family’s head had personally gone to look for Jian Xing’er, so they still treated Jian Xing’er as a good-for-nothing who relied on a man to survive.
Hou Junlai was very frustrated, so he stayed silent.
Wang Shuai kept nagging.
Not far away, a bus pulled up.
Everyone looked over.
In the past, they would gather here. Every time, Jian Xing’er would get off the bus at this time.
As expected, Jian Xing’er got off the bus at this time as well.
Everyone laughed.
Among all the students, Jian Xing’er was the only one who took the bus.
The others drove over in luxury cars.
