Chapter 12

You really are a liar

"What! You're not breaking off the engagement?!"

Upon learning that Su Wanxing would not cancel the engagement, Shen Biqin almost fainted on the spot.

She spent an hour trying to persuade him, but this was the result she never expected.

Now, the way she looked at Qin Mo was as if she wanted to stab him to death.

On the other hand, Su Dingshan looked overjoyed and immediately made the decision to announce the news directly.

However, Su Wanxing used her body as an excuse to temporarily stop them.

The Su family suddenly became very lively, so Qin Mo simply made an excuse to slip away.

Anyway, it was Su Wanxing who proposed the cooperation, so how to win over Shen Biqin is her business.

After leaving the Su family's house, Qin Mo did not immediately return to the hotel.

Shao Lanfang's eyes need treatment; acupuncture alone is not enough.

He planned to go to the hospital to buy some medicine, and work both internally and externally to speed up her eye recovery.

He needs several very rare medicinal herbs that are not available in small pharmacies, so he plans to ask at a large hospital.

To buy medicine at a large hospital, you need to register. Qin Mo was about to queue up to register when he suddenly heard someone behind him exclaim, "It's you!"

When Qin Mo turned around, he saw Zhuang Xue'e with two bodyguards watching him from a short distance away, her pretty face full of anger.

She strode over in her high heels: "Well, you really are a liar!"

"You said you were a doctor that day, but do doctors need to register at the hospital?"

"What? Don't tell me you can cure my grandfather but not yourself!"

Zhuang Xue'e was somewhat smug: it seems her decision that day was right, this man wasn't a doctor at all!

Qin Mo glanced at her, too lazy to pay her any attention: "Miss, your grandfather suddenly fainted that day. If I hadn't intervened, he would be dead by now."

"Shut up! Try cursing my grandfather again!"

Enraged, Zhuang Xue'e raised her hand, ready to strike again.

However, before her hand could fall, she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes darted around, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Zhuang Xue'e has exquisite features, and her eyes crinkle when she smiles, making her look like a little fox.

But Qin Mo could tell at a glance that she had ill intentions.

"Young man, it seems I misunderstood you. How about this, my grandfather just woke up and hasn't thanked you in person yet. Why don't you come up with me, and we can take another look at him?"

Qin Mo glanced at him sideways and said, "What, don't you think I'm a liar?"

"How could that be, young man..."

Zhuang Xue'e was about to continue her charade when a bodyguard in black rushed over: "Miss, you must go upstairs quickly! The old master is in serious trouble!"

Zhuang Xue'e's expression changed: "How could this be bad? Didn't she wake up yesterday?!"

While talking, she no longer cared about Qin Mo and turned to run after the bodyguard.

Seeing this, Qin Mo sighed, "Fine, I'll help them to the end."

Yesterday, the old man's poison was only two injections short, but the treatment was abruptly interrupted.

He was different from Su Wanxing, who was a slow poison, while the old man was an acute one.

If it is not eliminated quickly, it will die suddenly.

He quickly followed.

Just then, two women entered the hospital.

"Qiu Yue, are you sure the chairman of the Zhuang Group is in this hospital?"

Lin Wanqing wore sunglasses and a business suit, looking very capable.

Wearing sky-high heels, he walked briskly, his voice tinged with excitement.

"certainly!"

The short-haired woman beside her was her best friend and also her secretary.

Like her, she was also impeccably made up and looked nervous.

"I received news yesterday that Zhuang Hailou, the patriarch of the Zhuang Group, came to Xichuan in person. He was originally going to stay at the Fairs Hotel, but due to an accident, he was transferred directly to a VIP ward at this hospital."

"Not only that, even Grandpa Zhuang's most beloved granddaughter, Zhuang Xue'e, came along."

"good!"

Lin Wanqing's eyes were piercing: "Although the Zhuang family is not in Xichuan, they are now leading figures in our country's medical industry."

"In his early years, Mr. Zhuang received guidance from a master and, with several ancient prescriptions in hand, directly opened up the market for Chinese medicine research and founded the Zhuang Group."

"Nowadays, the Zhuang family is a top-tier prestigious family. Old Master Zhuang has long since retired from public life; getting an audience with him is harder than climbing to heaven!"

"I had heard long ago that the company intends to develop the Xichuan market this year and plans to invest in research on new drugs here."

"If I'm not mistaken, this investment is specifically for Miss Zhuang to practice with, which is why Old Master Zhuang came along in person."

Lin Wanqing stated with absolute certainty: "And in Xichuan, there is no better investment target than our Tianlin Pharmaceutical!"

Hearing this, Qiu Yue was also extremely excited: "My God, Wanqing, if we can get in touch with the dealers, even if it's just a little bit slipping through their fingers, it would be enough for us to gain a foothold in Xichuan!"

"More than that!" Lin Wanqing exclaimed excitedly, "I've already found out Miss Zhuang's preferences. If we can become friends with her, how could we not secure a long-term partnership with the Zhuang family?"

The two women's faces were full of excitement, as if they had become honored guests of the house.

Just then, they glanced at the VIP elevator and saw the elevator doors closing.

Lin Wanqing's smile froze for a moment, somewhat dazed: "Qin Mo?"

"What Qin Mo?" Qiu Yue looked puzzled. "Wanqing, why did you have to mention that person? Doesn't it bring bad luck?"

"No, I think I just saw Qin Mo!"

Lin Wanqing became agitated, her brows furrowing: "How could he be here?"

Qiu Yue followed her gaze and then laughed, "Wanqing, you must be mistaken. That's the elevator to the VIP wards. How could Qin Mo possibly get up there?"

Qin Mo, a recently released convict, would either be there for medical treatment or to apply for a job as a janitor at the hospital. How could he possibly use the VIP channel?

"That's true." Lin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, her brows unfurrowing.

Mentioning Qin Mo, Qiu Yue couldn't hide her disdain: "As for you, I thought that after he went to jail five years ago, you and Actor Gu would finally get married. I didn't expect you to still not divorce that good-for-nothing."

Lin Wanqing glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense. Haochen and I are just friends. I did have feelings for him when we were younger, but that was over a long time ago."

However, she did not deny the second half of Qiu Yue's statement.

"Even if it's not Gu Yingdi, it shouldn't be Qin Mo. Are you really going to spend your whole life with a convict?" Qiu Yue said disdainfully, always believing that Qin Mo was not good enough for Lin Wanqing.

"Don't forget, my brother has been waiting for you too."

Lin Wanqing waved her hand: "I will not divorce Qin Mo."

"Although he is indeed ordinary and of average talent, the gap between us is widening."

"But when he married into my family, he treated me fairly well."

"He went to jail because of me. Without me, he will only live a life at the bottom of society."

"Anyway, my goal is to become a strong woman like Su Wanxing. I don't plan to marry anyone else in the future, so it doesn't matter if I have to feed another mouth."

Seeing that she remained adamant, Qiu Yue decided not to try to persuade her any further.

But a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his suppressed eyes.
