Chapter 126 - The Gathering of Big Shots
Chapter 126 The Gathering of Big Shots
The two young ladies ran away with blushing faces. Ji Mo, who was following behind them, also saw the scene. He wanted to turn around, but he was just a moment too slow before he was stared at by his big brother’s murderous gaze. Li Mo could not help but grin. “I… I suddenly remembered that I still have homework to finish, so I won’t disturb big brother and sister-in-law any longer.”
After saying that, he left with a smile on his face. His calm demeanor made Shen Hanxing blush. What an unlucky child, he had already finished his homework long ago. He did not even know how to find a better excuse.
Ji Yan’s skin was very thick. His hot palm followed Shen Hanxing’s back up, and his voice was hoarse. “Shall we continue?”
Perhaps because of the lesson from last time, Old Master Zhuang did not invite too many people to admire the orchids this time. He only invited a few old friends who were close to him. He wanted to show off the orchids that he had recovered.
Shen Hanxing did not notice it at the beginning. It was only when the heavyweight elders got off the car that she realized why Ji Yan had praised her as a lucky star. These elders either held great power when they were young, or they were rich beyond belief. Even if they were retired now, they still had power and many connections.
Shen Hanxing even saw a few big shots who often appeared in the newspapers.
Liu Che was supposed to deliver Ji Mo’s study notes today. Mrs. Liu was worried, so she came along. Who would have thought that she would see such big shots the moment she arrived? She was so frightened that she hurriedly brought Liu Che upstairs, not daring to come into close contact with these big shots.
After this period of rehabilitation, Ji Yan’s legs had already improved a lot. It was only a matter of time before he could stand up and started to walk. He also attached great importance to this banquet. He even specially stood up from his wheelchair and greeted the old men one by one.
Shen Hanxing stood beside Ji Yan. Other than the initial shock, she was acting like usual. It was the same as receiving elders. She was polite but not humble. She had never thought of getting anything from these people, so she naturally did not have to be careful. Ji Yan did not specifically remind her of anything, which also meant that she did not have to please any of them.
Shen Hanxing’s natural attitude made the old men have a good first impression of her. All of them were kind-hearted and praised her for her calmness even though she was young.
“You brat…” Old Master Zhuang patted Ji Yan’s shoulder and sized up his tall figure. He asked, “How’s your leg? I thought you were really going to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.”
“I can only stand for a while and walk a few steps.” Ji Yan smiled politely and said, “It was your grandson who performed my surgery. My recovery is expected. Of course, I was lucky to meet a lucky star…” His gentle gaze fell on Shen Hanxing, it was obvious who he was referring to.
Old Master Zhuang huffed angrily. “You are indeed lucky, unlike my disappointing grandson who only knows how to use a scalpel all day long. I don’t know when he will be able to give me a great-grandson.”
“Doctor Zhuang’s medical skills are superb. What he does is treat patients and save lives.” Shen Hanxing smiled as he served a cup of tea. “You should be happy.”
“Humph, a hothead like him is not worthy of your high praise.” Old Master Zhuang complained, but he was still smiling. It was clear that he was proud of Zhuang Hengyu.
“Girl, it was you who saved that orchid?” An old man could not help but ask. “Tell us how you brought the orchid back to life.”
Shen Hanxing was calm and unhurried. She sat down at the side and told them in detail. Her attitude was calm, her tone was confident, and she was especially eye-catching. Liu Che carefully looked down from the stairs. He saw that Shen Hanxing was still able to speak with confidence in front of so many big shots, he was a little envious. “Ji Mo, your sister-in-law is really amazing. My mother can’t do it. She doesn’t even dare to go downstairs to speak.” Otherwise, she would not have left him here alone and run home by herself.
During this period of time, Liu Che’s mother had taught her man a lesson. Her days were filled with joy and pride. When Shen Hanxing was mentioned, Mrs. Liu could not stop to praise her. Even Liu Che was full of admiration for Shen Hanxing.
“Of course.” Ji Mo couldn’t help but feel a little proud. “My sister-in-law is especially amazing.”
“Not only is she amazing, she’s also smart. My mother praises your sister-in-law by my ear every day. She even wants me to build a good relationship with you and learn from your sister-in-law’s way of life.” Liu Che curled his lips. Speaking of which, his mother had dealt with his father according to the method given by Shen Hanxing. Now that his father was trembling with fear every day. He did not dare to go out and cheat on his wife again.
