Chapter 151: Not Buying
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After a few tests, Huo Jiuxiao came out of the examination room. He tidied up his sleeves and looked at the medical team’s experts.
However, he no longer needed an answer.
[It has been too long. The eardrum has a large hole, and the failure rate of the surgery at the hole is high. It is difficult to repair it, and it also affects the reconstruction of the ossicle chain. Even if the surgery is forced, the prognosis will not be good, and there is no guarantee that he can recover his hearing. In addition, there has been no treatment and maintenance in recent years. According to the current technology in our country, there is really no need to take the risk.]
When Song Huaishu saw Huo Jiuxiao come out, he quickly went up to him.
[Master, how is it?]
However, Huo Jiuxiao brushed past him and said coldly, “Pretend I never came.”
Song Huaishu was stunned for a moment before hurriedly following him out.
This was the best medical research team in the country, specializing in hearing repair and reconstruction. If they couldn’t do anything, then there was really no hope.
On the way back, Huo Jiuxiao looked out of the window without saying a word.
Song Huaishu glanced at the back row from time to time, then said in his heart.
[Master, just because you can’t do it now doesn’t mean you can’t do it in the future. Besides, you can hear other people’s thoughts. Isn’t that better than hearing with your ears?]
Huo Jiuxiao didn’t reply. When they reached the underground parking lot of Diheng, Huo Jiuxiao said to Song Huaishu, “Get out of the car and shut your mouth.”
It had been a while since he had felt such a suffocating atmosphere, causing Song Huaishu to suddenly feel his scalp tighten. He knew that Huo Jiuxiao was in a bad mood, so he quickly gave Huo Jiuxiao some space.
At this moment, Lin Wanli’s message came in.
Little Sweet Wife: “I have an appointment with President Liu tomorrow to negotiate the deal. Do you want to go?”
Huo Jiuxiao held his phone in his hand and was silent for a few seconds. Then, he replied with three words, “I’m not buying.”
Lin Wanli was originally in a good mood, but when she saw these three words, the corners of her mouth suddenly dropped. However, she didn’t ask Huo Jiuxiao and only replied with one word, “Alright.”
She had a premonition that something was going to happen, but she couldn’t ask for details. It wasn’t her first day with Huo Jiuxiao, so she was very familiar with this feeling of powerlessness.
After that, she told Yan Qiu, “There’s no need to reserve Master Xiao’s seat.” Yan Qiu was surprised for a moment, but she quickly nodded.
The video of Ye Zhenzhen and Zhou Tingyang’s passionate kiss was spreading everywhere. The grudge between Lin Wanli and the other two was also magnified by various speculations. Although Zhou Tingyang and Lin Wanli were a couple in everyone’s eyes, from Lin Wanli’s attitude towards Zhou Tingyang for many years, it seemed that she had never taken a fancy to Zhou Tingyang.
Therefore, it was one thing for a sc*mbag and a sl*t to have a secret relationship, but they also wanted to drag an innocent person to be buried with their love. This was simply crazy.
The audience seemed to have followed Lin Wanli’s train of thought all the way to the end of the truth. Lin Wanli didn’t say anything, but it seemed like she had said everything.
If they continued to let the public opinion go on like this, Ye Zhenzhen and her husband would definitely lose their reputation.
Therefore, Ye Weiyin raced against time to meet with the Zhou family’s parents, hoping to reach an agreement with the Zhou family as soon as possible. However, Ye Zhenzhen was still unable to accept this fact, so she did not attend the luncheon. Instead, Zhou Tingyang sat at the table with a red and swollen nose.
“Weiyin, why haven’t I seen Zhenzhen?” Mother Zhou was a little unhappy when she saw Ye Weiyin appear alone. In her heart, her son was at most an accomplice when it came to hurting Lin Wanli. Ye Zhenzhen was the mastermind, but Ye Zhenzhen was hiding. What was this? Was she trying to shift the blame?
“She’s not feeling well, so she didn’t come over.” Ye Weiyin put her bag aside and explained in a harsh tone.
“At a time like this, no matter how uncomfortable she is, she has to show her face, right? Isn’t it all because of her?” Mother Zhou deliberately divided the responsibility. She made it clear that it was Ye Zhenzhen’s fault from the beginning and did not give Ye Weiyin any chance to refute it. She continued, “My son is honest. No matter what the rumors say about Zhenzhen, he is still loyal to her. I can’t do anything to him. I just didn’t expect that these two people would be so bold as to do such a thing.”
Mother Zhou thought that Ye Weiyin was still as proud as before and that Ye Weiyin would not refute her for sure.
Unexpectedly, Ye Weiyin looked at Mother Zhou with a fake smile and said, “The matter’s already done. Who’s nobler than who?”
Mother Zhou’s face stiffened.
“Things have already come to this point. Lin Wanli’s revenge has already reached this point. Now, we can only let the two of them speak the same thing. We can make it public that the two of them fell in love after Lin Wanli disappeared. Then, they can get married to stop Youyou from talking. Otherwise, if my daughter doesn’t have a good life, your son’s reputation will also be ruined.”
“Weiyin, you’re wrong, aren’t you? My family’s side is a son, your family’s side is a daughter. What do you mean by ruined reputation? Your daughter’s reputation is ruined, but my son’s might not be.”
Public opinion had always been more friendly to men. Moreover, judging from Lin Wanli’s behavior, she hated the Ye family’s mother and daughter more.
Moreover, since Lin Wanli returned to the country, she has not dealt with Zhou Tingyang openly. Wasn’t it obvious who was more responsible?
“Tingyang, tell me, what was the truth two years ago? Whose idea was it? Who drugged Lin Wanli? Who arranged for you to catch her in the act?”
“Mom, don’t force me. I don’t want to talk about it,” said Zhou Tingyang.
Mother Zhou almost hit Zhou Tingyang when she heard that. She berated, “You don’t want to talk about it, but someone wants you to take the blame. You and Lin Wanli were already talking about marriage back then. Do you have to do this for Ye Zhenzhen
Zhou Tingyang’s lips moved, but he didn’t make a sound.
“It doesn’t matter who is responsible anymore. What’s important is whether or not we should cooperate and put on a show.”
“Why doesn’t it matter? You and your daughter are always shirking responsibility, young and old. It’s even funnier now. Ye Zhenzhen did not even bother to come. Wasn’t she the mastermind behind Lin Wanli’s scheme? It’s still unknown whether Zhou Tingyang will take responsibility for this matter. If Zhou Tingyang makes this matter public, then his reputation might not be ruined. Ye Weiyin, do you understand this logic? You’re the one begging us, not the other way around!”
In terms of words, Mother Zhou had never lost to Ye Weiyin in all these years. “If you really want to talk about their marriage, call Ye Zhenzhen over. She’s full of twists and turns, and she still wants to talk about cooperation. Hah, I Imow what Ye Zhenzhen is thinking. She thinks that she’s a phoenix now, so she doesn’t like my son anymore. Fine. Then let’s drag it out. Anyway, Lin Wanli’s target of revenge isn’t us.”
Mother Zhou was overconfident about this. However, she did not know that she was part of the revenge….
