Chapter 69: 069: Turning Point
At that moment, Zhe Yan and Yun Zhou were still hesitant over whether they should enter the room because they had heard Jing Qian’s voice coming from inside again.
“Young Master is cleaning his body. He would be angry if we go in right now.”
“But- Young Mistress is already inside. She’s already seen the Young Master’s body, and if we don’t enter to help, will he be angry at us?” Yun Zhou was struggling.
Zhe Yan hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “But… Young Master did not call for us.”
“Why don’t… Why don’t we just wait and see? We’ll go in when we hear the voices get louder or perhaps when the Young Master gets angry?”
Suddenly, the living room’s door opened.
When they saw that it was Zhan Shuyu, Zhe Yan and Yun Zhou greeted her with respect, “Second Miss.”
Zhan Yushu raised her brows and asked, “What’s wrong with both of you? Why are the two of you frowning?”
Yun Zhou hesitantly spoke up, “It’s the Young Mistress. She has once again opened the door from her room and directly entered into the Young Master’s room.”
“They’re a married couple now, what’s wrong with Qianqian looking for Ah Chuan?”
“It’s because the Third Young Master has been in a bad mood recently, and he isn’t in the mood to speak to anyone. Plus, Young Master was cleaning his body. He…”
“It’s okay. I’ll have a look then,” Zhan Shuyu interrupted Yun Zhou. She knocked on the door a few times, then pushed the door open.
Inside the room, Jing Qian was smiling brightly as she spoke to Zhan Lichuan, and there was a faint smile on Zhan Lichuan’s face that none of them had seen before.
The smile may have been extremely faint, one an ordinary person would not have been able to notice on his stern, strict face. However, as a sister who loved her brother dearly, Zhan Shuyu always kept a close look over her brother. Therefore, even if it was a minor facial expression, she would be able to notice it immediately.
When they saw that it was Zhan Shuyu, Zhan Lichuan greeted her.
“Sister.”
A huge smile immediately bloomed on Zhan Shuyu’s face.
“It looks like Qianqian has been keeping you in a good mood.”
Zhan Lichuan looked at the woman who looked extremely tired and asked, “Are you at the hospital these days?”
The smile on Zhan Shuyu’s face grew.
“Ah Chuan, I’ve managed to contact Lawrence Institute of Medical Research. They were interested in the newly developed anti-hypertensive drugs available in our Chuantou Medical Institute and would like to cooperate with us. In exchange, I’ve requested that Professor Hongsu, the deputy director of Lawrence Institute of Medical Research, treat you. She is a genius in neurosurgery. They are currently considering it.”
The Lawrence Institute of Medical Research was the world’s top medical research center, but when Zhan Shuyu told him about this, Zhan Lichuan did not seem to be interested at all. When compared to the surprise that the Lawrence Institute would bring, he had a feeling that Jing Qian would be able to surprise him more.
Although he shouldn’t compare Jing Qian to the Lawrence Institure, this was just a feeling he was getting from his sixth sense.
Just when Zhan Shuyu was talking to Zhan Lichuan, there was a knock on the door once again.
This time, it was Master Zhan and Zhan Yuheng.
When Jing Qian saw her ‘boss,’ she naturally got up and greeted him.
As for Master Zhan, who once again saw Jing Qian inside Zhan Lichuan’s room, Master Zhan’s face, which was initially awful, turned much pleasant looking, and he greeted Jing Qian as well.
After talking to Master Zhan, she turned and looked at Zhan Yuheng.
Zhan Yuheng thought that this woman was about to greet him, which was why his lips began to curl upwards. However, Jing Qian looked at him magnanimously, then she looked away, like an autumn breeze sweeping away fallen leaves. She didn’t even intend to talk to him.
When Zhan Yuheng realized what happened, the corner of his lips reverted and the look in his eyes deepened.
Zhan Lichuan, who was lying on the bed, saw the entire scene and Zhan Yuheng’s expression. His eyes turned dark as well.
Chapter 70: 070: A dog in the manger
Zhan Yuheng was actually a man who was 180cm and the eldest grandson of the wealthiest man in H City. He had a handsome appearance and a man like him deserved the attention of every woman in the room.
However, when there were two stars shining together, it changed things. As long as you stand next to the one that is shining the brightest, your light would still be less compared to the other, no matter how bright you are.
Zhan Yuheng and Zhan Lichuan were exactly like these stars.
“Third brother, you look good today.”
“Well, big brother, you don’t look too good yourself. You should get some rest.”
Both were saying caring words to him, but Zhan Lichuan’s attitude towards Zhan Shuyu and Zhan Yuheng was extremely different.
For some unknown reasons, Zhan Lichuan, who would usually pretend to play nice, suddenly decided that he didn’t want to be the nice guy today.
Zhan Yuheng and Zhan Shuyu were both called back to the Zhan Mansion because of Master Zhan’s command, the reason being he wanted them to come clean. He wanted to find out who was the culprit that had tried to harm Zhan Lichuan by changing the plants in his room.
However, none of them admitted to it.
Zhan Shuyu had always been close to Zhan Lichuan, which was why the targeted person here was just Zhan Yuheng.
At this point, Zhan Yuheng was already pissed, which was why he had an extremely awful facial expression.
However, with Master Zhan standing there, Zhan Yuheng had no other choice but to keep the stiff smile on his face and continue talking to Zhan Lichuan.
Now he got targeted by Zhan Lichuan for no apparent reason.
Zhan Yuheng was unhappy about it, but he still kept a warm and gentle smile on his face.
“You’re right. Well, I’m not as smart as you, and without you around, I’ll have to take over your duties. Not only do I have to deal with the matters in Zhongbo Entertainment, I also have to tend to matters in our main corporations, which is why I didn’t get to rest much these two days.”
Zhan Shuyu sneered, “Since Big brother is complaining about being tired, why don’t you let someone else take over some of the projects in the corporation? Why don’t you let me help you? You want to occupy it, yet you’re complaining about being tired. You’re just a dog in the manger.”
There were no words that Jing Qian could use to properly describe her feelings.
WOW!
She initially thought that Zhan Shuyu was an elegant superwoman who would always put on a nice smile. Who would have expected her to be such a tough woman? Now that she was up against Zhan Yuheng, who was extremely tough, would they be fighting in front of Master Zhan?!
Zhan Yuheng smiled and said, “This is my responsibility. I don’t think I should trouble you, sister, since I still have both the uncles to help me out. It may be a little tiring, but I feel content. Second sister, you should just focus on medicine and find a way to cure our brother. I’m still waiting for Third brother to come back to the corporation.”
Just as Zhan Shuyu was about to say something back, Zhan Yuheng immediately turned to Master Zhan.
“Grandfather, I forgot to tell you that I’ve found a doctor who will be able to operate on Third brother.”
When Master Zhan heard Zhan Yuheng’s words, he wasn’t surprised. Instead, there was a questioning look in his eyes.
Master Zhan narrowed his eyes and asked, “You found a doctor? Who is it? What background do they come from?”
“Xu Fang told me today that his uncle runs a business at the Delta River, which is why he knows someone from the Lawrence Institute of Medical Research.”
Zhan Shuyu couldn’t help but tease, “Big brother, don’t you know that Chuantou and Lawrence Institute are working together? Instead of asking for help from Xu Fang, I can do it myself. I forgot to inform you that I’ve been personally talking to someone from the institute and they’re going to send Professor Hongsu for Ah Chuan.”
“Oh? So Second sister has been in contact with the Lawrence Institute of Medical Research?” Zhan Yuheng smiled and asked in a stern tone, “After talking to them for such a long time, did you know that the Lawrence Institute actually belonged to the Tang Sect?”
