Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Mo Shaoyun Cos to the Door_1
In the evening, in a certain residential community in TianDu City, inside a certain villa.
Xiao Nan was sitting on the sofa, her eyes riveted to her laptop screen. As her delicate fingers moved, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Sister Nan, what are you looking at?" A mont later, Mo Shaoyun, wearing her nightgown, walked out of the bathroom, continuously rubbing her wet hair with a towel.
"What else could make
this upset other than your damned husband?" Xiao Nan turned the laptop around and said, "See it for yourself! But don’t get too upset."
Mo Shaoyun had a bad feeling, suspecting that Zhang Xian might have caused so trouble again.
Turning her head to look at the laptop, she took a closer look at the photo on the screen. Her face dramatically changed, and after taking a closer look, gnashed her teeth angrily and exclaid: "That disgraceful man, cheating on
with another woman?"
"Haven’t you seen the words next to it?" Xiao Nan pointed to the title next to the image and said, "Mo Shaoyun’s fiancé is having an extramarital affair."
"How...could he do this?" Mo Shaoyun felt as if her world had turned upside down.
As Yanjing’s most beautiful woman and the heiress of the Lin family, nurous n secretly admired her. But due to her status, not many were brave enough to openly confess their feelings to her. What she didn’t expect was that her fiancé was involved with another woman. In the photo, Zhang Xian was hugging a beautiful woman, smiling in a particularly lewd way.
"The fiancé of Yanjing’s most beautiful woman is having an affair, what is happening? Can’t Mo Shaoyun satisfy that Zhang Xian or sothing?"
"God! What on earth has happened? Mo Shaoyun is being dumped? The goddess is so cheap?"
"The two above, are you stupid or naive? There’s no denying Mo Shaoyun’s beauty, but the fact that Zhang Xian is having an affair is also true. Can’t you look at it from a different perspective?"
"What do you an, up there? Could you please stop beating around the bush?"
"It’s simple. Despite Mo Shaoyun’s unmatched beauty, there must be sothing about her that Zhang Xian can’t tolerate. Otherwise, that guy would not have an affair."
"What is that, tell us about it."
"Well, I can’t be sure, you have to use your imagination."
"I know, Mo Shaoyun must be indifferent. There is a rumor that she’s a workaholic."
"No, Mo Shaoyun must be a lesbian. Apart from being Yanjing’s most beautiful woman, Mo Shaoyun is also known as ’Rock woman’."
Xiao Nan moved her slender finger to read through the various comnts.
Finding that Mo Shaoyun was looking angrily at the laptop, she quickly shut it down and said, "I picked out the better comnts amongst many, you’d better not read the rest."
"Why not?" Mo Shaoyun asked.
"This..." Xiao Nan replied with a bitter smile: "What I just read were the good ones, there are even more vicious comnts, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it if you read them."
"Ah... Ah..." Suddenly, Mo Shaoyun jumped up from the sofa, screaming as she ran upstairs.
Xiao Nan turned to look at the hysterical Mo Shaoyun, her beautiful eyebrows tightly knitted together. As a prominent figure in Yanjing, even standing at the top of Yanjing’s society, when has Mo Shaoyun ever been treated like this, subjected to such insults and speculation? Even though the business circle in Yanjing is fraught with hidden dangers and unspoken rules, Mo Shaoyun always maintained the deanor of a strong woman.
This ti, Mo Shaoyun was overwheld. Public opinion is the most terrifying weapon; once targeted, there’s a high likelihood of falling victim.
"Oh Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian, you really are a competent husband, do you know how tangled your wife’s heart is right now?" After letting out a bitter smile, Xiao Nan got up and went upstairs.
...
Early the next morning, Zhu Qing got up early, prepared breakfast, and then went to work after eating.
Zhu Wen was sitting in the clinic, idly watching television.
"Good morning, Doctor Zhu!"
Suddenly, an old man dressed in a white coat walked in, smiling.
"Eh, Doctor Qi, what brings you to my small clinic so early in the morning?" When Zhu Wen saw him, he responded grumpily.
"Being a fellow practitioner and our clinics are so close, I envy your leisurely life!" Doctor Qi chuckled. "I ca today because I need sothing from you."
"What do you want?" Zhu Wen looked unusually unhappy.
This old man also runs a clinic and has competed fiercely with him for business. However, he had always been disadvantaged and couldn’t compete with him in business at all.
That’s why, early in the morning, that guy ca to rub it in, saying he isn’t as leisurely as him. Wasn’t he simply rubbing salt in the wounds? Prideful about his good business, isn’t he?
"I need a few Chinese dicinal herbs." Doctor Qi chuckled.
"Oh, you also need Chinese dicine?" Zhu Wen said irritably: "Didn’t you always say that traditional Chinese dicine has no future?"
"Ah, you misunderstood . I need the herbs not for treatnt, but to help soone cook a nourishing dish, to condition their body." Doctor Qi laughed cheekily: "As for the prospects of traditional Chinese dicine compared to Western dicine, I don’t think I need to say much. Just take a look at my place and then at yours. Doctor Zhu, oh Doctor Zhu, we both run clinics, why is there such a big difference?"
"You... You old thing." Zhu Wen got so angry that he jumped up from his chair.
"Cough, cough... Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I’m just joking." Doctor Qi let out a cheeky laugh, and said, "Here’s the prescription, hurry up and prepare the dicine."
"I’m not selling." Zhu Wen angrily retorted.
"Oh, co on Doctor Zhu. Why are you so petty?" Doctor Qi voiced his dissatisfaction. "I understand that you are jealous of my superiority and it might sting. But, do you really have to act like this towards ?"
"You..." Zhu Wen was so furious that he was practically seething with anger, but was unable to retort.
"Co on, hurry up with the dicine. I have a lot of patients waiting for ! I especially ca to your place." Doctor Qi urged impatiently.
Zhu Wen gritted his teeth, taking his prescription and heading to the dicine cabinet.
This old geezer had quite a few assistants in his clinic, including several nurses. Nevertheless, he insisted on personally coming over, just to humiliate his opponent.
He was deeply irritated by this. But there was nothing he could do about it as the guy’s clinic was indeed more successful.
"Thanks." Doctor Qi took the dicine, paid the money, and walked off smiling. "Doctor Zhu, if you find yourself struggling, co over to my place. I’ll pay you a lofty salary."
"Get lost..." Zhu Wen grumbled in anger.
Doctor Qi shuddered a bit and quickly ran off, looking rather smug.
"Oh, so you’ve been disrespected, eh?" Zhang Xian ca in, laughing. "Just wondering, who is that guy? Why’s he so audacious?"
"He runs a clinic as well, it’s just that his business is much better than mine. He always humiliates
with his sarcastic remarks when he visits, it’s simply infuriating." Zhu Wen cursed bitterly.
"Would you like to humiliate him back?" Zhang Xian asked with a chuckle.
"How can I? The clinic is nothing compared to his, it’s not even in the sa league!" Zhu Wen shook his head.
"Leave it to
then. It would only take a few days to surpass him. By the ti we’re done, he won’t be able to lift his head." Zhang Xian laughed and proceeded towards the dicine cabinet to prepare the dicine.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Wen curiously asked.
"I’m preparing a prescription, aiming to elevate your clinic’s reputation, and at the sa ti, to amass wealth for myself." Zhang Xian, after gathering the herbs, went back inside. "Rember, don’t let anyone disturb
until I co out."
Zhu Wen was stunned for a second and almost jumped up in joy, hardly containing his excitent. With Zhang Xian willing to step in, his clinic was bound to rise, surpassing Old Man Qi.
Zhang Xian was Master Gui’s apprentice, and certainly possessed considerable skills. Anyone else, Zhu Wen might have sneered at, but Zhang Xian, he had no doubt about.
No wonder Zhang Xian had said that his clinic would soon beco famous. This guy had planned to help him rise to fa from the get-go.
"Excuse , sir, could you please tell
if Zhang Xian is here?" Suddenly, a cold, clear voice echoed.
Zhu Wen looked up and froze on the spot. Secretly musing, what a beauty indeed!
As an old man, he shouldn’t be attracted, his deanor was unlike the lively young n. However, the woman before him was truly beautiful, that even he as an old man could not resist.
Closer to 170 cm height, a perfect figure with curves at the right places. Her flawless fair complexion, oval-shaped face paired with delicate facial features, she was unspeakably beautiful.
"Sir." Xiao Nan saw the old man also craving for Mo Shaoyun, she almost lost her temper right at the spot.
"Ahem..." Zhu Wen coughed awkwardly, he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Ladies, where are your discomforts?"
"We’re not sick." Xiao Nan scanned the clinic and asked, "Where is Zhang Xian? He should be here, right? Call him out to et ."
"Why are you looking for him?" Zhu Wen asked.
"You don’t need to know that. Just call him out." Xiao Nan responded, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Sorry, Zhang Xian is busy right now, and I have no idea when he will be free. I can’t disturb him until he cos out." Zhu Wen shook his head.
"Are you doing this on purpose?" Xiao Nan voiced her dissatisfaction.
Zhu Wen shrugged and after indicating that he had no other choice, he ignored Xiao Nan and Mo Shaoyun, and turned to watch the TV.
Xiao Nan and Mo Shaoyun exchanged a glance. They said nothing and chose to sit and wait silently.
Stealing glances at Mo Shaoyun and Xiao Nan, Zhu Wen marveled. Both were stunning like celestial beings, they ca looking for Zhang Xian, did they have any special connection with him?
Especially the younger woman, she was breath-takingly beautiful. He felt genuinely alard for his granddaughter; such rival was too damn formidable!
Ti went by slowly, and around midday, Xiao Nan couldn’t help but stand up and asked, "Sir, are you sure Zhang Xian is really inside, and not outside?"
"Of course, he told
earlier, not to disturb him under any circumstances unless he cos out himself." Zhu Wen nodded.
Mo Shaoyun frowned for a mont, then took Xiao Nan back to her seat and they continued to wait.
After a while, Zhang Xian ca out from inside, holding a large paper bag, chuckling to Zhu Wen, "Old man Zhu, here you go, this package will ensure your fa spreads far and wide."
"Uh, soone was looking for you." After taking the bag from him, Zhu Wen nodded towards Xiao Nan and Mo Shaoyun.
