Chapter 15: The Problem Lies In Your Looks
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiangnan Central Hospital, inside the most advanced VIP ward.
A person in simple make-up was laying in the bed. She had a phone in her hand as she watched carefully at a video repeatedly. It seemed that she could not get bored of it.
It was a video she found on the internet, a recording of the accident.
She looked at the man in the video risking his life and charging into a car that was in flames, pulling her out before he ran away.
Du Yuehua’s eyes teared up whenever she watched the video.
Were it not for this man risking his life, she would have died.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open. A bespectacled man entered.
“Yuehua, I’m here to see you.”
The bespectacled man was carrying loads of bags. All of them contained expensive fruits and nutritional supplements.
“Wang Jun, I’m glad you’re here. There’s no need for you to waste so much money buying all this stuff,” Du Yuehua said indifferently.
“This is my sincerity. How could you say that it’s a waste?”
Wang Jun looked at Du Yuehua’s face, which outshone everyone else in the city, and he was very tempted to touch her.
Five years ago, he had missed the opportunity to go after Du Yuehua. Now, God had given him another chance. Du Yuehua’s husband, Yan Jingyang, had passed away in an accident half a year ago, leaving Du Yuehua a widow. With such a good opportunity at hand, he had to grab hold of this chance no matter what.
“Please put it down over there!” Du Yuehua pointed at the table in front of him.
The bespectacled man placed down the gift and just as he was about to say something, the door was pushed opened again. A mature and steady man in his thirties entered with a bouquet of expensive flowers in his hand.
The mature man put down the flowers and the door opened once more. It was a man with a belly in his forties entering the ward.
Dozens of men came to visit Du Yuehua in the thirty minutes since she had woken up.
“The patient needs to rest. Everyone, get out.” Du Yuehua’s assistant, could not hold it in any longer. She chased off all the men in the ward with no regard to who they were, even Du Yuehua’s boss.
“Finally, peace and quiet!”
Lil Mei shut the door and jammed it before she walked to Du Yuehua and said unhappily, “President Du, I could tell from a glance that those people had other motives. I’m surprised you could tolerate them.”
“The majority of those people were business acquaintances from when Jingyang was still alive. Their social status is incredibly high, and I don’t want to offend them,” Du Yuehua said.
“All of them were just predators trying to visit their prey. None of them came with any sincerity at all. They either wanted to hit on you, a young and beautiful widow, or want to take over the hotel you’re about to sell. None of them were sincere at all.” Lil Mei harrumphed as she could no longer resist the urge to complain.
“Only we know how many true friends we have in this life.” Du Yuehua laughed.
“You’re too kind. You’ve no idea how evil and cruel this world is. A beautiful and kind girl like you should stay at home and become a housewife instead of having to make a living in this society. If Boss Yan hadn’t passed away, you wouldn’t be struggling this much.”
Lil Mei’s eyes turned red as she went on.
“It’s all in the past and I’ve gotten used to it.” Du Yuehua smiled. She then asked out of the blue, “Oh right, have you found the unnamed hero that saved me?”
“Not yet. I’ve already put out a reward but there’s no news yet.” Lil Mei started giggling and approached closer. “President Du, Heaven favors the kind. They sent a man to save you. One day, you two will meet again and, who knows, you might just be fated to be together too.”
“I’m a woman who has been married before. A girl with a child has no right to talk about marriage.” Du Yuehua looked rather sad. “Furthermore, I don’t want to be married anymore. I just want to raise Youyou.”
“Tsk. What’s wrong with being married while having a kid. Look at those guys earlier, you know you’re very popular.”
Du Yuehua laughed but she did not continue the conversation.
“By the way, there are dozens of people interested in the hotel that you’re planning to sell. These are the details.”
Lil Mei handed over the document after she finished speaking.
Du Yuehua took the document and looked at it. “Make an appointment with them at the company in the afternoon. I’ll sell it to those I find suitable.”
“But you just got out of the hospital. Don’t you want to rest for a day or two?”
“It’s fine. I’m alright.”
“Alright. I’ll make the arrangements now.” Lil Mei nodded.
…
“Brother Xiong, are you really going to participate in the tender?”
Wang Tong was on the verge of tears as he looked at Feiyang International Hotel, which was in front of him. It was at least ten-stories high.
‘What the f*ck. This hotel costs at least fifty million dollars. Wouldn’t Ye Xiong be considered insane for only bringing around ten thousand dollars to participate in the bidding?’
“Do I look like I’m joking to you?” Ye Xiong pointed at his serious-looking face.
“This has nothing to do with your looks. It’s your capabilities,” Wang Tong said.
“That means that my looks have everything to do with it.”
Ye Xiong touched his handsome face as he giggled. “I’ve done some background checks. This hotel’s owner is a widow. Her husband had died half a year ago. Think about it, she hasn’t had a man play with her hole for half a year. How could she not feel lonely and cold? If I were to barge in now and have her fall in love with me, doesn’t that mean that we can get the hotel without spending a single cent?”
“Dream on.”
“A man must have his dreams.” Ye Xiong laughed.
It had been half a year since the death of the hotel’s owner, Yan Jingyang. The hotel’s business had plummeted ever since, and they had no choice but to sell it. Everyone in the industry understood that it was not as simple as it looked.
Wang Tong grew even more frightened as he arrived at the entrance of the hotel. He saw the big shining characters above him and the luxurious decorations inside.
“Why are you just standing there? Let’s go!” Ye Xiong patted his head.
Wang Tong was utterly impressed with Ye Xiong. Did the latter even know what the word ‘fear’ was?
Ye Xiong and Wang Tong went to the chairman’s office located on the fifth floor after asking the receptionist. When they arrived, they discovered that there were already dozens of people there, waiting for their turns.
The office’s door was closed tightly, and it seemed that someone was already negotiating inside.
The door opened abruptly as a boss with a golden necklace as thick as a thumb walked out looking disappointed.
The guy beside him could not help but ask, “Brother, what’s wrong?”
“They wanted a hundred and twenty million dollars. We couldn’t come to an agreement.”
The crowd was shocked upon hearing his words. Some had even stood up and left. After a while, half of the crowd was gone.
Wang Tong’s legs gave way and he almost lost his balance. He initially thought that the hotel would cost around fifty million dollars. Who would have thought that the price was more than double what he guessed?
‘What the f*ck. One hundred and twenty million dollars!’
A character such as Ye Xiong still dared to stand here?
Soon, all who entered the office came out disappointed. It seemed that none of them had succeeded.
Inside the office.
Lil Mei shredded the documents in her hands as she complained out loud.
“Who do these people think they are? The price of this hotel was at least one hundred and fifty million dollars half a year ago. How dare they ask to buy it at a mere fifty thousand dollars. These people are just trying to take advantage of us in our weakest moment.” Lil Mei was fuming.
“It’s fine. Call in the next one!” Du Yuehua said indifferently.
“Next, Ye Xiong!”
