Chapter 443: Attending a Cocktail Party!
Chapter 443: Attending a Cocktail Party!
[It has to be said, Shi Sheng's methods are truly brilliant. She tried to force Master Shen into marriage using photos posted by passersby, and it seemed like she was about to succeed. But then, someone even more formidable appeared!]
[She's a divorced woman, how dare she force Master Shen into marriage? I really don't know where she gets the nerve!]
People strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill. It's understandable that she wanted to climb the social ladder through forced marriage, but she overestimated her importance in Master Shen's heart.
[The person upstairs is right, an object should behave like a plaything! If Shi Sheng can be a good plaything...]
I suspect that Master Shen has no idea Shi Sheng was divorced.
I also think that Master Shen had no idea. If he had known that Shi Sheng was divorced, he definitely wouldn't have dated her and made it public.
[Shi Sheng is so cunning!]
[Shi Sheng must be feeling dizzy and disoriented right now. She never expected that she would be suddenly exposed as a second-time bride, let alone that Master Shen was a staunch advocate of remaining single.]
Every scheming woman will face her own retribution.
【...】
Inside a sanatorium.
Xu Ruoying sat in a chair in front of the French windows, looking at everyone's comments, a happy smile on her face.
it is good.
well.
very good!
Finally, we see Jiang Ning get her comeuppance.
Even she could only look up to the position of the matriarch of the Shen family.
What right does that little bitch Jiang Ning have to marry Shen Jingnian?
She thought that if she kept her second marriage a secret from Shen Jingnian, he wouldn't find out.
ridiculous!
just wait.
The trending topics on Weibo are just the beginning.
Shen Jingnian is about to break up with Jiang Ning.
Xu Ruoying grew up with Shen Jingnian.
She knows Shen Jingnian too well.
Shen Jingnian has a cold personality and has been a germaphobe since childhood.
How could a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder who refuses to get married tolerate having a divorced girlfriend?
after all.
Shen Jingnian couldn't even find her, who was pure and innocent, attractive.
Now that Jiang Ning's second marriage has been exposed, Shen Jingnian will definitely kick her to the curb.
Think about this.
The look of delight in Xu Ruoying's eyes became even more pronounced.
Ding ding ding--
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Ruoying put away her laptop and said, "Come in."
A staff member from the sanatorium walked in and said respectfully, "Ms. Xu, it's time to change your dressing."
"Understood." Xu Ruoying turned her back to the staff member, picked up the specially made mask from the table, put it on, and then followed the other person's footsteps.
We arrived at the medical room.
The doctor is preparing the medication.
Xu Ruoying sat down opposite the doctor and took off her mask.
I saw.
What was exposed to the air was a truly terrifying face.
Her left eyeball had disappeared. Because the poison of the mountain fern is very strong, and because Xu Ruoying was bitten very severely, the toxins accumulated on her face, causing her entire face to turn yellowish-brown and covered with spots that looked like snake scales.
Even the doctor who changes Xu Ruoying's dressings every day still felt a chill run down his spine when he saw this scene!
In all his years of medical practice, he had never encountered a patient like Xu Ruoying.
The doctor took a deep breath and picked up the special ointment. "Ms. Xu, this ointment may cause some pain after application, and it may also cause some itching later. Please do not scratch it."
“Okay.” Xu Ruoying nodded.
After the dressing was changed, Xu Ruoying put the mask back on and asked, "Doctor, when can I take off the mask?"
She desperately wanted to go back to the way things were before.
She wanted to live like a normal person.
The doctor glanced at Xu Ruoying and said with a smile, "Ms. Xu, as long as you can overcome your psychological barriers, you can take off your mask at any time."
“What I mean is, when will my face recover?” Xu Ruoying then asked.
"Recovery takes time," the doctor paused, "I've already explained the toxins from the mountain peak to you, and I will do my best to help you repair it. To fully recover and successfully install the prosthetic eye, it may take about six months."
Xu Ruoying's injuries are complex. Since the accident, she has been using the best medicines, which cost tens of thousands of yuan each, and has been staying in the best sanatoriums.
If Xu Ruoying hadn't insured her face, an ordinary person really couldn't afford such a huge sum of money.
Half a year?
With just a slight nod, she felt a surge of anticipation. Once her prosthetic eye was installed, she would be able to walk in the sunlight just like a normal person.

at the same time.
The top floor of the office building of Shen's Group.
Shen Jingnian was sitting at his desk reviewing documents.
Snap--
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a figure walked in.
"Yun Haotian! Next time, could you please remember to knock before coming in?" Shen Jingnian frowned slightly, speaking without even raising his head, and continued reviewing documents without stopping.
Yun Haotian said incredulously, "Uncle, you're amazing! You knew it was me without even looking up!"
After saying this, he walked to the tea table in his office, poured himself a cup of tea, and then exclaimed, "Uncle, it seems we really are on the same wavelength. I truly deserve to be your most beloved nephew!"
“Aside from your lack of manners, everyone else knows to knock before entering my office,” Shen Jingnian said in a low voice.
Yun Haotian: "......."
"Uncle, you're so clueless about romance. I really don't know how my father-in-law can stand you."
Unromantic.
Absolutely no sense of humor.
I really don't know how Jiang Ning managed to talk to that icy face for so long!
“You don’t need to know,” Shen Jingnian turned to look at him. “By the way, what did you want to see me about?”
"We're inviting you to the Fu family's party," Yun Haotian continued. "It would be so boring for me to go alone."
Shen Jingnian turned a page of the document in his hand and said lightly, "Then you should go back. I don't have time to waste with you at this meaningless party."
Having just taken over the Yun Group, Yun Haotian naturally attended more cocktail parties to expand his resources and network of contacts.
But what resources does Shen Jingnian lack?
Attending such a party is a complete waste of time and a pointless endeavor.
"Are you sure you don't want to participate?" Yun Haotian asked back.
"Confirmed." Shen Jingnian glanced at Yun Haotian. "Do you know how much money I earn per minute on average? Have you calculated how much money the Shen Group would lose if I accompanied you to this meaningless party?"
Shen Jingnian is a businessman.
Moreover, he is a very competent businessman.
In any matter, his first consideration is always his own interests.
"Alright, since you're not going, I'll just have to go to the party alone," Yun Haotian said as he walked. "I heard that Jiang's father is also on the guest list for this party..."
These words were, of course, deliberately said for Shen Jingnian to hear.
Is my future father-in-law here too?
Shen Jingnian has been planning a big scheme recently. If he can get the support and help of his future father-in-law at this crucial moment, and even turn his future father-in-law into a prospective father-in-law, that would be even better.
In short, we can't miss this opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingnian immediately called out to Yun Haotian, "Wait a moment."
"Uncle, is there anything else?"
Shen Jingnian stood up from his desk, picked up his suit jacket and put it on. "I'll go with you."
Yun Haotian smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that attending this kind of party would only affect your ability to make money?"
"Stop talking nonsense and take me there." Shen Jingnian buttoned up his suit jacket, opened a drawer, took out a box and threw it to Yun Haotian.
Yun Haotian caught the box that Shen Jingnian threw to him with both hands, his eyes wide, "Holy crap! Wuyishan Mother Tree Da Hong Pao! 50 grams!? Uncle, is this for me?"
"Yes, here you go." Shen Jingnian nodded slightly.
Yun Haotian could hardly believe his eyes!
My stingy uncle actually gave me 50 grams of Wuyi Mountain mother tree Da Hong Pao tea.
The next second, Yun Haotian rushed over and hugged Shen Jingnian, exclaiming, "Uncle, Uncle, dear Uncle, you're the cutest, cutest uncle in the world!!!"
Yun Haotian will be going home with Zeng Moru to meet his parents in a few days.
On the same day, Zeng Moru's twin sister will also be going back with her boyfriend.
Therefore, Yun Haotian was very worried that his limelight would be overshadowed by the other party.
Now that we have the original Da Hong Pao tea tree from Wuyi Mountain, we don't have to worry anymore.
After all, the original Da Hong Pao tea tree from Wuyi Mountain is something that money can't buy.
Shen Jingnian pushed him away with disgust, "My time is precious, let's go."
If this is delayed any longer, it won't just be a matter of 50 grams of Da Hong Pao tea.
"Alright, alright, let's go!" Yun Haotian immediately led the way.
Half an hour later.
The uncle and nephew arrived at the party.
As luck would have it, Shen Jingnian had barely gotten out of the car when he ran into Shi Nanxing and his assistant walking inside.
Shen Jingnian straightened his suit and quickly caught up with him, "Uncle Shi, what a coincidence, are you also here for the party?"
"Hmph!" Shi Nanxing saw Shen Jingnian coming over and immediately turned her head away, saying to her assistant, "Ignore him, let's go!"
