He Chen had arrived early, but he had been drinking with his boys on the 28th floor the whole ti.
A few days ago, following Mo Han’s directions, he had extorted seventy million from Cheng Wanfeng.
Of this seventy million, he took twenty million to treat his brothers’ dical conditions, with the remaining amount kept in the company’s account.
Now, with Mister Mo and his wife inviting people for dinner, He Chen wanted to join in the fun. He had booked the entire 26th to 28th floors of the Sofia Speciality Restaurant, inviting his subordinates and so friends for food and drinks.
He was having drinks and chatting with his brothers, waiting for the right mont to head up to Apollo on the 60th floor for the banquet.
In the midst of this, an incident occurred – he received a call from Liao Shishi, stating that a man nad Tian Ye, who used to work under Chen Shuang, was behaving aggressively and had even hit a waiter.
Being aware of Sofia Speciality Restaurant’s background, He Chen imdiately dispatched Chen Shuang from the 27th floor to handle the situation.
Glancing at the ti and seeing it was almost 7 p.m., he then took two of his n and rode the elevator up.
"Not late at all,"
Mo Han spoke up, "We’ve just arrived. Mister He, this is my wife, Luo Ning."
"Luo Ning, this is Mister He," he introduced to his wife, "He does so business in Jiangling City and knows quite a few people."
He Chen, being extrely astute, instantly grasped Mo Han’s implication and promptly stepped forward, saying, "Mrs. Mo, nice to et you, I’m He Wangshen. Just call Xiao He, and if you ever need any help, feel free to tell ."
He did not reveal his real na. It was unavoidable, the na He Chen of Jucail Comrcial Association was too well-known. If he revealed it, Mrs. Mo would surely be suspicious, and it might ruin Mister Mo’s plans.
"Xiao He?"
Liao Shishi gave He Chen a aningful look and said, "Alright, then I’ll go take care of things and not disturb your dinner."
Before leaving, she intentionally smiled towards He Chen, turning his face as red as a tomato.
The two n behind He Chen, Go Lao’er and Liu Lao’si, exchanged glances with twitching mouths.
Brother Chen sure knew how to play—If he was Xiao He, would they be little Go and little Liu?
Seeing that the newcor was a rather well-dressed middle-aged man, about ten years older than Mo Han, Luo Ning paused for a mont before stepping forward with a smile, saying, "Last ti when Chen Chen went missing, we were lucky to have Big Brother He’s help."
"Uncle He, hello! The Barbie doll you gave is so much fun." Before Luo Ning could say anything, Mo Xiaochen ran over and affectionately hugged He Chen’s leg.
He Chen laughed heartily, lifting Mo Xiaochen up, "Has Chen Chen been good these last few days? Uncle will buy you another doll in a few days..."
"Big Brother He, you really shouldn’t spoil her. Let’s quickly sit down," Luo Ning hurriedly said, fearing her daughter might make so outrageous requests and promptly gave Chen Chen a stern look.
"Alright."
He Chen chuckled softly, waved his hand, signaling Go Lao’er and Liu Lao’si to head back down first.
The two n nodded and turned to leave imdiately.
Soon enough, the waiter escorted Mo Han, Luo Ning, Mo Xiaochen, and He Chen into the private room.
The four were seated by the window, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Jiangling City.
Although it was night, preventing a clear view of the whole cityscape of Jiangling City,
the city beneath the night sky, alight with twinkling lights, had a unique charm.
It wasn’t long before the waiter served all the exquisite dishes.
While dining, the four chatted about the amusing stories from around Jiangling City in recent tis.
Luo Ning’s eyes visibly sparkled with envy when the conversation turned to the booking of the entire Starry Splendor, and she glanced at Mo Han, sighing inwardly.
If only one day Mo Han could book Starry Splendor for her, no, even Apollo Restaurant would be wonderful.
"Big Brother He, where is your wife? Why didn’t she co with you?" Luo Ning found a topic to ask about.
Mo Xiaochen looked up, her round eyes fixated on Uncle He, seemingly curious about why Auntie He didn’t co along.
Mo Han too was sowhat curious, having known He Chen for such a long ti without ever hearing him ntioning his wife.
"She..." As soon as the word "sister-in-law" ca up, He Chen’s previously ruddy face suddenly turned pale.
He pursed his lips, laid down his chopsticks, and after a sigh, he looked out of the glass window at the world and slowly said, "She is sick..."
"She’s very ill!"
"I’m sorry..." Luo Ning quickly apologized, "I didn’t know about your wife..."
He Chen shook his head with a bitter smile, "It’s okay, it’s been many years and I’ve gotten used to it."
"Let’s all eat, the dishes at Apollo Restaurant are quite good."
"Here, Chen Chen, this piece of Wagyu beef is delicious, try so..."
Sick?
Mo Han frowned slightly. If it were other issues, he might not be able to help He Chen, but if it was an illness, he could completely cure He Chen’s wife with "Zixiao Divine Needle."
With this thought, he asked, "Old He, what exactly is the situation? What illness does your wife have?"
He Chen might refuse to answer anyone else, but he couldn’t avoid Mo Han’s question.
Raising his head, with moist corners in his eyes and pursed lips as if reminiscing, he said, "Her na is Zhao Yumo, five years younger than . We have been together for fifteen years, from my most desolate tis, she has been with , silently giving everything for ."
"Ten years ago, I ca to Jiangling City to develop my business. Rainy had just beco pregnant and followed here."
"But then, one rainy night, everything changed..."
