CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 66: YOUR GIRLFRIEND TOLD ME TO GIVE YOU TWO BIG SLAPS

Imperial Capital First District Hospital, Chu Yan brought fresh flowers to visit Lu Zhiheng.

The people in the ward fell silent when they saw him come in, and the atmosphere instantly became somewhat awkward.

"Heard you were injured, so I came to see how you’re doing."

Chu Yan placed the bouquet on the bedside table, his cool and handsome face showing little expression. His gaze shifted toward Lu Tingming not far away, giving him a slight nod in greeting.

"Have a seat."

When Lu Zhiheng saw Chu Yan, he felt uncomfortable inside. He initially wanted to ask Chu Yan to leave, but since his father had spoken, Lu Zhiheng swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

"Dad, you can’t give the train station project to the Ruan Family. Ruan Xian harmed me to this extent, nearly crippled me, I absolutely won’t let them off!"

Lu Tingming said indifferently, "The Ruan Family has devoted their full effort to me, you’ve already taken your revenge."

"What’s that worth? I’m still not satisfied!"

Thinking back to that day’s events, Lu Zhiheng was still somewhat terrified.

It was a close call, the scissors almost pierced his privates!

Suddenly, Chu Yan spoke up, "There are many places in the suburbs to choose from. As for the plot of land in the Ruan Family’s hands, it might as well be given to me, and I could build a hospital there.

So many migrant workers live in the west of the city, but medical resources are very scarce. If they fall ill, they have to travel a long distance to the eastern part of the city.

After the hospital is built, I could also apply to the leadership of the First District Hospital for the transfer of medical staff."

Lu Tingming looked at Chu Yan, considering the proposal seriously.

Now is a crucial moment for the campaign, making decisions related to the welfare of the people makes it easier to gain the support of the general public. The train station project is essential, and care for the arrangements of the migrant population in the west also needed to be enhanced.

"Chu Yan, you’re doing this on purpose, right?" Lu Zhiheng said, displeased, "You know all too well about my conflict with the Ruan Family, yet you insist on using their property?"

Chu Yan smiled, "I’m just analyzing the situation from uncle’s perspective, and making an enemy of the Ruan Family is not beneficial. The Ruan Family has supported uncle a lot for his campaign. Ruan Xian is already in jail, and if we continue to treat the Ruan Family like this, what would other business supporters of uncle think?

Since you don’t want to hand over the train station project to the Ruan Family, then let their land be given to me. I can do something else to boost uncle’s campaign support rate."

He paused, then added with a hint of remorse, "After all, this is something I should make up for."

"You think about making amends now? What were you doing earlier!" Lu Zhiheng yelled, barely able to contain his anger, "If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have to wait another six years! Now playing the good guy here!"

Chu Yan’s face turned a bit pale, "Back then, my mother had just passed away."

"Enough, stop arguing."

Lu Tingming looked at Lu Zhiheng discontentedly, "Let’s do as Chu Yan suggests. If you don’t want to deal with the Ruan Family, let Chu Yan handle the Ruan Family’s people."

Chu Yan had apologized for the lawsuit from those years and expressed that he would fully support his next campaign. Lu Tingming had found this son to be very smart, providing considerable help, and their relationship gradually improved.

The person he felt most sorry for in this life was Chu Yan’s mother.

The second person was Chu Yan himself.

Now that she had passed away, and while Chu Yan, as his son, couldn’t call him father for the sake of his political career, he still considered everything for his benefit, Lu Tingming couldn’t help but feel some pity.

"Dad!!"

Lu Zhiheng glared at Chu Yan unwillingly.

After graduating, this guy had started assisting his father with strategies and was increasingly valued by his father.

But Lu Zhiheng would never forget the first time he saw Chu Yan, the frail and stubborn youth, the look in his eyes full of hatred when he looked at their family.

Lu Zhiheng took a deep breath; he couldn’t let Chu Yan overshadow him again.

If Chu Yan’s position in their father’s heart kept rising, what would happen to him and his younger brother?

"Dad, I think Chu Yan is right. The Ruan Family has helped us a lot, and indeed, I should not let personal grudges prevent cooperating with them this time.

The wasteland in the west of the city is more suitable for the construction of the train station. That was also our initial agreement, let’s just build the train station there."

Lu Zhiheng gave Chu Yan a cold glare, "As for your hospital, find another place for that yourself."

Chu Yan looked regretful, "I think that’s the most suitable place to build the hospital, I had thought if you didn’t want it, taking it would be just what I needed."

Lu Zhiheng sneered, "You wish."

"I’ll look for another place then. You get some rest."

Chu Yan turned and left the hospital room, twirling the wedding ring on his ring finger.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his mood inexplicably uplifted.

-

Qin Zhao had no idea that Chu Yan had used that piece of land to trick Lu Zhiheng.

At the moment, she was on her way to find Su Xiaotong because Su Xiaotong had been kicked out of her home.

Su Xiaotong’s family was filthy rich, but they wanted her to go back and attend matchmaking sessions.

She was reluctant and wanted to be an agent instead.

So, her family froze all her cards and even had her fired from the company.

Qin Zhao sat in the taxi, receiving a call from Su Xiaotong, "Zhaozhao, have you arrived yet? I can’t believe I’ve stooped to delivering takeout."

The taxi arrived and stopped in front of a hotel.

"Why are you calling me over if you’re delivering takeout?"

Qin Zhao walked towards the hotel while talking on the phone.

"You’ll see when you get here."

When she found Su Xiaotong, she saw her dressed in a blue delivery uniform, with a little duck on her helmet.

She stood at the door of a hotel room and knocked.

"Sir, your takeout is here!"

As the door opened, Qin Zhao understood why Su Xiaotong had called her over.

Su Xiaotong rushed forward and slapped the person twice.

"You scumbag! You sent me a Valentine’s Day gift and sent one to my best friend too? Go be with her, trash with the trash can, you’re a perfect match!"

"Sir! Here are two big slaps that your girlfriend told me to deliver to you!"

After rattling off her words and bowing quickly, Su Xiaotong turned and ran.

Seeing Qin Zhao, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid of getting hit herself, which is why she called Qin Zhao over.

"Uncle?"

Qin Zhao saw Qin Yu with slap marks on his face and was dumbfounded...

"Get back here!"

Qin Yu’s face was livid as he grabbed Su Xiaotong by the collar and dragged her back.

"I don’t even have a girlfriend, who sent you?"

"Isn’t this room 306?"

"This is 309!!"

Both looked at the door number, then realized the 9 on the doorplate was broken and had fallen off, turning into a 6.

Qin Yu dragged Su Xiaotong to the door of room 306, fuming, "This is 306!" Idiot, damn it!

"Ah? Sorry! I’m so sorry!"

Su Xiaotong hastily apologized, and Qin Zhao barely held back laughter, "Uncle, this is my friend."

"I really didn’t mean it, I should probably refund her order."

With a mournful face, Su Xiaotong realized that this, her first day as a delivery person, was a disaster—it was crystal clear she was much better suited to be an agent.

She had thought that takeout services were so advanced nowadays, that they could deliver just about anything.
