Chapter 56: Yin-Yang-Infused Gift Giving

That night.

“Everyone is so over the top.”

Wang Haoran got up and walked to the balcony to get some fresh air.

Picking up his phone, he saw the reply and started chatting on Feixin.

Zhu: What’s up?

Boatman Lao Wang: There’s something. Think of a way to keep him from going to the central hospital in the next half month.

Boatman Lao Wang: Also, remember to tell the hospital director and those specialist doctors that it was me who asked your family to invite them.

Zhu: Why is it always this kind of thing? Are you really dealing with him seriously?

Boatman Lao Wang: Of course! Don’t you trust me? You’ve been counting money till your hands ache recently, haven’t you?

Zhu: You haven’t earned any less, right?

Boatman Lao Wang: Not as much as you. Over there, 30% of the profits go to the higher-ups, and the remaining 70% goes into your own pocket!

Zhu: …

Boatman Lao Wang: Make sure to arrange this properly!

Zhu: …I got it.

Boatman Lao Wang: Do your best; I’ll also have people watch him here.

Boatman Lao Wang: However, you’re so arrogant and no one manages you, is that person too trusting of you or… almost done for?

Zhu: …Was it the second brother or the third brother who told you?

Boatman Lao Wang: Neither!

Zhu: Impossible. Only a few people know such a secret. Besides them, only their sons know.

Zhu: It can’t be those almost-dead family elders who leaked it, right?

Zhu: I don’t believe that. Those elders are loyal to the family and would never do such a thing!

Boatman Lao Wang: Actually, I was just guessing…

Zhu: …

Zhu: Forget it if you don’t want to say.

Boatman Lao Wang: I was really guessing. If you don’t believe it, then don’t.

Boatman Lao Wang: I’m going to rest. Good night!

Wang Haoran turned off Feixin and went back to bed.

At this moment, in a suite in a five-star hotel in S City,

A woman in a burgundy nightgown lay spread-eagle on the bed, complaining as she held her phone.

“Really, just saying wouldn’t hurt…”

She was very curious about who the Zhao family’s informant was.

Those loyal to Zhao Ruilong could be excluded, as well as the family elders, who would never let outsiders touch Zhao family interests.

This was why she chose to seek her own interests in S City instead of staying in V City.

It was definitely related to the second brother Zhao Ruihu or the third brother Zhao Ruinian. Even if they didn’t act personally, it had to be their sons.

But this wasn’t surprising.

In the past, the brothers were harmonious because the eldest brother Zhao Ruilong had no son. The future heir was likely to be the son of the second or third brother, so the second and third brothers competed while the eldest remained calm.

But now, with Zhao Dong’s emergence, it was natural for some to panic.

Zhao Ruilong might have noticed this too, hence sending her to support Zhao Dong.

Zhu Nan knew Zhao Ruilong sent her not out of trust but because she, an outsider and seemingly weak woman, relied on him and would eventually rely on Zhao Dong, so she would be diligent.

This was her opportunity.

She didn’t want to continue living under others. She wanted to take charge of her own life.

Thinking of this, Zhu Nan couldn’t help but recall Wang Haoran’s appearance.

“What a mysterious man… Anyway, I’m not aiming for the entire Zhao family, so we shouldn’t clash…”

***

The next day.

At “Lin’s Floral Language.”

Lin Qingzhi got up early, tidied up, and sat in the shop with anticipation.

She didn’t believe Wang Haoran would lie to her.

Although she felt Wang Haoran’s kindness was too much to bear, she couldn’t suppress her longing to “stand up.”

After the car accident two years ago, she lost her loving parents, her youthful campus life, and even the ability to stand.

At first, she cried, but she learned that crying was useless, and she had to face the harsh life alone.

Unavoidable hardships made her heart incredibly strong.

But because of this, when hope appeared, she became particularly excited.

As Lin Qingzhi read a book, waiting for noon, footsteps sounded at the shop entrance.

The hospital people were coming at noon, so was this a customer?

Lin Qingzhi looked up and saw two burly men in black suits and sunglasses entering.

They scanned the shop, then noticed Lin Qingzhi in her wheelchair.

One murmured, “A pretty wheelchair-bound woman, it must be her.”

Then, they approached Lin Qingzhi. Before she could speak, they opened their boxes simultaneously and respectfully said,

“Miss Lin, please accept our Young Master’s token of appreciation!”

Lin Qingzhi looked and saw gold rings, bracelets, and pearl necklaces in the boxes.

They looked very expensive. Lin Qingzhi quickly waved her hand to refuse, “I… I don’t know your Young Master. How can I accept this!”

“Please accept our Young Master’s token of appreciation!”

The two men insisted.

Lin Qingzhi was puzzled, “Who is your Young Master? Why is he giving me these?”

“Our Young Master is from the affluent Zhao…” The man on the left was cut off by a kick from his companion.

“Surprise! The Young Master wants it to be a surprise!” The man on the right quickly reminded his companion and then said to Lin Qingzhi,

“Miss Lin, please accept it. This is a small gift from our Young Master. Don’t overthink it.”

“No, I can’t take it!” Lin Qingzhi firmly refused.

After several refusals, the bowing man on the left grew impatient, grumbling,

“Just accept it already. A crippled old woman pretending to be pure, trying to latch onto the Zhao family for money…”

“Shut up!”

The man on the right growled and then looked at Lin Qingzhi apologetically.

“Miss Lin, you may not know, but these items are worth 2.5 million, more than this shop and your broken wheelchair.”

“With this money, you can do many things!”

“For example, get an electric wheelchair, so you don’t have to push yourself every day!”

“Or get a high-tech exoskeleton and leave the life of a disabled person behind!”

“If not, you can hire a caretaker to help with bathing and such, so you don’t have to hide in the flowers to cover your body’s smell!”

His tone was sincere.

“Miss Lin, please don’t refuse!”

After saying this, he placed the boxes on a nearby table, bowed deeply, and left with his companion.

Lin Qingzhi frowned and called out instinctively, but they ignored her and walked to the door.

Only their low conversation remained.

“Such a pretender! If she didn’t want it, would Young Master Zhao have sent us?”

“Enough, stop talking. Women like her who aim for wealthy families love to complain. If she tells Young Master Zhao, we’re doomed!”

“Yeah… A crippled chick becoming a crippled phoenix just because of a pretty face…”

“…”

The voices faded.

Lin Qingzhi, after a moment of shock, felt a surge of anger.

“So this is the surprise you mentioned, Zhao Dong?”

“Thank you, your entire family!!!”
