Chapter 69 - Returning to Chu Jiang
Zhao Jiuyuan was dumbfounded when he heard that!
He had to be careful with a mere "lapdog" of the Shen family, Ye Yunjie, but how could another son of the Shen family appear?
Zhao Jiuyuan was now preparing to get involved with the Shen family, so he was naturally aware of the Shen family's strength.
Even if it is only the tip of the iceberg, it is still enough to shake them.
And his own son, who had provoked the Shen family? Wasn't that a death wish?
Zhao Jiuyuan knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly, he would not say whether he could successfully hitch a ride with the Shen family, and he would probably be played to death by then.
"Fine, fine, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter right away, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer today, Miss Ye!" After he finished speaking, Zhao Jiuyuan hurriedly hung up the phone.
How could he have the heart to go to the meeting next? He ran straight back to his office, dialed his son's phone and just counted his words.
Early the next morning, Jiang Hao was put on the plane early.
In less than an hour, he had already arrived in Chujiang, and was then sent by Ye Yunjie's car directly to the hospital.
At this moment, Zhang Jie had long been waiting for Jiang Hao at the entrance of the hospital.
As soon as the two met up and were about to walk inside the hospital, Zhang Jie suddenly heard someone behind him shout out at him, "Zhang Jie?"
When Zhang Jie and Jiang Hao heard this, they looked back in unison and saw Zhou Yuanyuan, who was holding a boy's arm at the moment, walking quickly towards this side.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Jie asked casually.
Zhou Yuanyuan gave him a blank look, and after sizing up Jiang Hao again, she said without a good-natured smile, "Nonsense, Junting is my good sister, she's sick, so naturally I have to come and see her!"
Zhang Jie didn't say anything, his gaze was completely on the tall boy beside Zhou Yuanyuan at the moment.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile, "Zhang Jie, this is my new boyfriend, quickly call your cousin's husband!"
"Li Sen, this is my cousin, you have to take care of him in the future!" Zhou Yuanyuan looked at the tall boy as if she was pampered and smiled.
The boy smiled smugly and said in an ambiguous tone, "That's natural, this is your cousin, that's my cousin, I'll definitely have to take good care of him in the future, let's take him out for some fun sometime later!"
As soon as Li Sen met him, he said something so crisp and generous, Zhou Yuanyuan was quite pleased with herself, she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Hao and sneered, "What is he doing here?"
Li Sen also noticed Jiang Hao, and even more so Zhou Yuanyuan's attitude towards him, and could not help but follow suit and ask, "Yuanyuan, who is this?"
Zhou Yuan Yuan laughed, her tone arrogant, and said, "He ah huh, is just a drama queen, husband, this kind of person you do not know, huh, today I am in a good mood, I do not want to deal with him, let's go, let's go in."
After saying that, Zhou Yuanyuan took Li Sen's arm and walked in.
Zhang Jie glared at Zhou Yuanyuan with some displeasure and patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder, "Forget it, you know what kind of person she is, don't bother with her, let's go in too."
Jiang Hao was indeed not interested in dealing with Zhou Yuanyuan, so he nodded his head and followed her in.
In the ward, apart from Su Junting, there were a few of Su Junting's family and friends, who were chatting around the bed.
They seemed to be comforting Su Junting.
Su Junting was also teary-eyed and nodded her head repeatedly.
But just then, she suddenly heard a voice from the doorway, "Junting, I'm coming!"
As soon as Zhou Yuanyuan entered the door and saw Su Junting's haggard appearance, her tears were about to burst out and she hurriedly ran over with open arms.
When she saw Zhou Yuanyuan, Su Junting first froze, then once she saw Zhou Yuanyuan crying, she also cried with her.
The two cried for a while before they were comforted and pulled apart by one of Su Junting's sister-in-laws.
"It's all my fault Junting, I didn't even know this kind of thing had happened to your family, if I knew this, I shouldn't have"
Zhou Yuanyuan said with some sadness.
But before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Su Junting, "It's alright, there's no need for you to blame yourself Yuan Yuan, in fact I have my faults too, but I'm really happy that you can come to see me today."
This back and forth between the two instantly caused a flurry of satisfied nods from Su Junting's relatives on the side, some of them even praised Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Hey, this is really a good kid, when it matters, you still have to look to them as good sisters"
"Yuan Yuan is a good kid, she's been with Jun Ting for years, I know she's a good kid, she can do no wrong."
The first time I heard the compliments, Zhou Yuan Yuan's heart was a little fluttering, and she hurriedly pulled her boyfriend aside and said with a smile, "Jun Ting, let me introduce to you, Li Sen, my boyfriend, my family owns a trading company, hehehe!"
Li Sen was already tall and handsome, and at this time, after Zhou Yuanyuan said so, Su Junting's family relatives at the side, there was a sound of awe.
Li Sen also smiled and hurriedly handed over the fruit basket prepared in advance, "Hello Junting, I've been hearing about you from Yuan Yuan, it's nice to meet you today, this is a little fruit, no respect!"
Su Junting hurriedly smiled back and hastily gestured for a relative to help her take the fruit.
However, the relative who took the fruit suddenly said curiously, "Aigoo? What kind of fruit is this? It looks so strange, but it tastes very fragrant!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yuanyuan could not help but feel excited. She said, "Auntie, you don't know, this is a fruit from South America, it's very rare and delicious, it has a lot of nutritional elements in it, it's a great tonic for a patient like Junting!"
"Ayo, it's so good? It must be very expensive, right?" The middle-aged woman gazed at the fruit with astonishment.
Zhou Yuanyuan smiled at her words, and Li Sen smiled at each other, both of them seemed a little smug.
Li Sen said with a smug look, "Hey, it's okay, it's not too expensive, the fruit is only over four hundred a catty, I only asked for four or five catties of it, I bought it for my friends abroad, it's very fresh!"
Li Sen said this as if it was very simple, but in reality, he held himself high.
Four hundred-odd catties of fruit, and still say it's not expensive? This was completely pretentious!
But Zhou Yuanyuan had already said before that his family owned a company, so when this heard the ears of Su Junting's relatives, they were simply surprised.
Where had they ever seen such a stance before? At this moment, when they looked at Li Sen again, they simply felt that this guy was bullying, and they all praised him.
"Aigoo, look at Yuan Yuan's boyfriend, he's really something, he's so generous at such a young age, look at this, over 400 catties of fruit, I don't know what it tastes like!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
"Hey, if Junting can find a guy like Yuan Yuan's boyfriend in the future, I think he'll be fine, he's rich, polite, and handsome, he's perfect!"
Hearing the compliments from Su Junting's relatives, Zhou Yuan Yuan couldn't help but feel a little fluttery. She turned her head to look at the direction of the entrance of the ward, where Jiang Hao and Zhang Jie were walking in from outside.
Zhou Yuan Yuan couldn't help but mockingly smiled and said in an odd manner, "Oh, it depends on Jun Ting, I hope all the uncles and aunties will help Jun Ting to make good suggestions, don't let Jun Ting fall for some loser, then suffer for the rest of her life!"
Zhou Yuanyuan's words could not help but say that those elders froze, then they saw Jiang Hao walking in, some of them could not help but understand what was going on, they all dropped their eyes on Jiang Hao, some of them even whispered.
"Ayo, it can't be? Listening to Yuan Yuan's tone, can't it be that Jun Ting and this kid are talking about friends?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no way, look at this boy, he's dressed alright, but the way he moves his hands you guys, you see he's a country boy, rustic!"
"Hey, look guys, look at the patient coming in, coming in empty handed, this kind of boy, it really doesn't work, I'll have to ask Old Su to have a good talk with Junting later!"
Since it was Zhang Jie who sent Su Junting to the hospital yesterday, these people basically knew Zhang Jie and knew at a glance that Zhou Yuanyuan was talking about Jiang Hao.
But compared to Li Sen, they simply felt that Jiang Hao was a hundred thousand miles worse!
Chapter 70 Calling
However, once Su Junting saw Jiang Hao, she seemed to have automatically blocked out those people's comments, and even happily tried to struggle to get off the floor.
When Zhou Yuanyuan came, Su Junting had just sat up from bed, so it was obvious that in Su Junting's eyes, Jiang Hao was even more important than Zhou Yuanyuan.
Jiang Hao hurriedly ran over and held Su Junting, smiling slightly: "Junting, are you okay? I'm sorry, I wasn't in Chujiang these days, I didn't even know such a big thing had happened to your family."
Su Junting didn't mind, she smiled, "It's okay, if you have something to do, go ahead and get busy, why are you in such a hurry to come back."
"That's not okay, I heard from Zhang Jie yesterday that you had an accident, so I rushed to book a flight back, are you feeling better?" Jiang Hao suddenly looked a bit guilty and said, "I'm really sorry, I came back straight after I got off the plane, I didn't even buy some fruit"
Jiang Hao was indeed so focused on running to the hospital that he had forgotten to buy any fruit at all.
Even if he had remembered this matter and casually asked Ye Yunjie to prepare it, naturally he wouldn't have come over empty-handed.
Su Junting didn't feel anything and smiled, "It's good that you're here, I'm quite happy, look, you're back, I'm half better!"
Hearing Su Junting's words, Jiang Hao's heart warmed up and he felt more and more guilty towards Su Junting.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, Su Junting was genuinely kind to herself, which made Jiang Hao simply touched from the bottom of his heart.
However, when Su Junting's words reached Zhou Yuanyuan's ears, she became a little uncomfortable and even a little jealous!
She came to see you with good intentions, regardless of the past, and even brought such expensive fruits, but she didn't see you say anything about being half better, and now when Jiang Hao appears, you say such things?
You think I'm a friend or not?
The more Zhou Yuanyuan thought about it, the angrier she became, and her face went straight to gloomy.
In her opinion, Jiang Hao was to blame for all this, and it was because of him that there were so many conflicts between herself and Su Junting, even to the point of being incompatible!
She had hoped to reconcile with Su Junting through this time, but no matter what, she could never have imagined that Jiang Hao would come out again!
"Heh, false sentiment!" Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at Jiang Hao contemptuously and said with a contemptuous gaze, "You even flew back from abroad, why don't you say you came back from an alien planet? Still don't know you?"
The moment Zhou Yuanyuan's words were spoken, she instantly made the scene's anger become awkward.
Su Junting looked at Jiang Hao awkwardly, surprisingly, she didn't know what to say for a while.
Jiang Hao was also speechless, he had not even provoked Zhou Yuanyuan for no reason, how could she treat him like this?
Only after a long time did Su Junting squeeze out a smile and said, "Oh, Yuan Yuan is joking, don't mind everyone, Jiang Hao, please sit down."
As she spoke, Su Junting then pointed to a seat on the side and said.
Jiang Hao nodded and didn't even want to sit down when he heard Zhou Yuanyuan say, "Oh, why should he sit? There are so many elders here still standing, what face does he have to sit there?"
As she spoke, Zhou Yuan Yuan couldn't help but coldly snort and didn't even look at Jiang Hao.
Indeed, the ward wasn't very big, and Su Junting had several relatives who were standing at the moment, although there was an empty seat right next to it.
But when Zhou Yuanyuan spoke, she was only thinking of others, and she herself was still sitting upright at the moment.
But Jiang Hao didn't pay any attention to her, he was here to visit Su Junting, so he just ignored Zhou Yuanyuan.
But Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to let Jiang Hao off so easily and sneered, "Oh, some people are really interesting, coming all the way to see a patient and coming in empty-handed, I don't know how nice they are!"
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Li Sen, smiled and said, "Even if it's not as good as the 400-odd fast pounds of fruit that our Li Sen brought, just buy a random ten or eight pieces of fruit, the heart will be there, huh, just this and still talk about what good friends, simply ridiculous!"
He knew that Zhou Yuanyuan was deliberately making things difficult for himself, but it was indeed his own fault.
Jiang Hao sighed, smiled at Su Junting and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go down and buy something up here, you wait for me for a moment."
After saying that, Jiang Hao intended to go down and buy some fruit, but just as he turned his head, he let Su Junting pull him back.
"Aiya forget it Jiang Hao." Su Junting looked at Zhou Yuanyuan and said somewhat angrily, "Just go and say whatever others want to say, I don't mind anyway, hey, don't go."
Su Junting's words instantly caused another wave of warmth to flood Jiang Hao's heart.
However, Jiang Hao became even more a little uncomfortable and hurriedly said, "Alright then, I won't go out, I'll call and have something sent."
After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he simply took out his mobile phone, ready to call Ye Yunjie and ask her to send over some gifts.
Jiang Hao did this because he felt genuinely a bit sorry for Su Junting, and secondly, he also wanted to shut Zhou Yuanyuan's mouth!
A few hundred pieces of fruit were enough to brag about for so long, and Jiang Hao really couldn't stand looking at Zhou Yuanyuan any longer.
He naturally knew that if he made a phone call, Ye Yunjie would definitely bring something a hundred times more expensive than that fruit, regardless of the cost, and then he would see what Zhou Yuanyuan would say!
But as soon as Jiang Hao took out his phone, Su Junting rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Hao's hand, she smiled and said comfortingly, "Forget it Jiang Hao, don't call, you don't even listen to my words, do you?"
Su Junting naturally had good intentions, she knew that even if Jiang Hao had someone send something, it would probably not be as valuable as the fruit Zhou Yuanyuan and the girls sent, and then not only would Jiang Hao not be able to save face, but he would be even more embarrassed.
Su Junting did not want to see such an outcome.
When Jiang Hao saw that Su Junting insisted on not allowing herself to call, he thought better of it and gave up.
After all, Su Junting's body has not yet recovered, so she must not be angry, and there is no need for her to confront Zhou Yuanyuan.
It would be Su Junting who would suffer.
Jiang Hao sighed and smiled, "Alright then, I won't fight, I'll listen to whatever you say today, hehehe."
When Su Junting smiled, she couldn't help but smile too, in her heart she thought that since Jiang Hao had given in like this, even for her own sake, Zhou Yuanyuan should shut up!
But Su Junting was still wrong about her best friend.
When Zhou Yuan Yuan saw Jiang Hao put away his mobile phone, she suddenly laughed in contempt: "Oh, it's really disgusting, really theatrical, don't stop calling? Don't stop calling, as if you can really get someone to deliver something! Hurry up and call, I'm watching!"
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Jiang Hao with a sarcastic smile on her face, thinking that she was worried about finding a chance to tease Jiang Hao, but now he had sent her the chance himself.
Jiang Hao looked at Zhou Yuanyuan and then at Su Junting, but finally sighed and silently shoved the phone back.
Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said to Zhou Yuanyuan, "Zhou Yuanyuan, I don't want to have an unpleasant encounter with you today, I'm all for Junting's sake, so I also hope you can stop it in moderation and not make everyone's face look bad."
Jiang Hao was already considered very restrained and said to Zhou Yuanyuan in a calm tone.
However, if Zhou Yuanyuan was smart enough, she could obviously already hear that Jiang Hao was warning her, but it was obvious that she didn't realise it at all and instead felt that this was Jiang Hao's way of making excuses for his own feigned abasement.
She laughed coldly and said disdainfully, "Ai yo yo, you mustn't restrain yourself and give Jun Ting face? Why are you so hypocritical? If you're incompetent, just say you're incompetent, what's the point of using Junting as a shield? It's ridiculous!"
As soon as Zhou Yuan Yuan finished speaking, Li Sen also grunted, as if he wanted to fight for his girlfriend, and said, "Oh, yes, since you just said that, then hurry up and make the call, so that we can see how good you really are. I've been hearing a lot of interesting stories about you from Yuan Yuan lately!"
After saying that, Li Sen let out a light laugh, his so-called funny stories were naturally the things that Jiang Hao had made a fool of himself before.
Although Li Sen had never come into contact with Jiang Hao in the past, from Zhou Yuan Yuan's mouth, he had already decided that Jiang Hao was simply a poor loser!
This kind of person, in front of himself, what kind of pussy is he pretending to be!
These two had actually started saying that, so Jiang Hao sighed and couldn't help but sneer, before pulling out his phone again.
He looked at Su Junting and just smiled faintly, directly dialing Ye Yunjie's number
