Chapter 252: Making Empty Promises

Bai Weiwei couldn't understand what went wrong. Why was Zhao Kai able to become a successful businessman when he was with Bai Zhi in his previous life?

Of course, she also knew that Zhao Kai hadn't become rich overnight in Bincheng in his previous life; everything takes time.

But her main concern now is that she sees no sign of progress from Zhao Kai.

He no longer possesses the same spirited and energetic demeanor he had in his previous life.

Bai Weiwei felt she couldn't just wait passively like this anymore.

She is, after all, a reborn person; she should take the initiative to do something.

She had thought about this problem before, but unfortunately, in her previous life, she had neither a skill to rely on nor the ability to do business and make money. All her wealth came from the compensation given by the Lu family after Lu Ye's death.

Looking back now, it seems she only did one thing in her past life.

It means dating.

I've always been dealing with men.

So right now, she has absolutely no idea what she can do to change the situation.

I have no clue.

They have no capital to spare.

Bai Weiwei stood in line behind Xie Zheng, pondering what she should do next.

She glanced at Xie Zheng's tall and straight figure, then at the hunched-over, sallow-faced man beside her.

It feels really disgusting.

Even Zhao Kai's CEO persona couldn't be of much use at this moment.

"Weiwei, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Kai noticed that Bai Weiwei's gaze seemed to be fixed on the man in front of her, and he looked displeased.

A strong sense of inferiority and unease welled up inside me.

Especially now that he has health problems, even his only asset as a man has disappeared.

He knew that if his body couldn't recover, Bai Weiwei would definitely despise him.

One day, she will leave him.

That's why, as soon as he received his salary, even though he couldn't get time off work, he called Bai Weiwei and came to Nancheng.

With such a great reputation, Dr. Ye can cure any kind of difficult disease, so he definitely has a way to treat his condition.

The reason they refused to treat them last time was because Dr. Ye learned about their relationship with Bai Zhi.

Although their relationship with Bai Zhi has not changed, Zhao Kai does not want to give up.

After all, Bai Zhi had been engaged to him and was also Bai Weiwei's older sister; they had all grown up together in the same village.

As long as they show sincerity, Bai Zhi will definitely soften her heart.

"I wasn't thinking about anything," Bai Weiwei said dismissively, not even glancing at Zhao Kai. "I was wondering what Bai Zhi's attitude would be when she sees us."

To be honest, Bai Weiwei didn't want to see Bai Zhi at all.

She didn't want to see Bai Zhi until she successfully became the president's wife.

On the day Bai Zhi was to be taken away by the Lu family, she confidently told Zhao Kai that he would become the president, and she would be a glamorous president's wife.

But now, after Bai Zhi left home, she has become visibly more successful.

Lu Ye, that short-lived bastard, actually came back to life and recovered his body.

On the other hand, not only has she and Zhao Kai not shown any signs of getting ahead, but Zhao Kai has also been injured in a car accident.

It's one thing to be injured, but it just so happens to be in that particular spot.

What's even more awkward is that now they're asking Bai Zhi and her grandfather to treat Zhao Kai.

The more Bai Weiwei thought about it, the more unbalanced she felt.

Even though she's been given a second chance at life and has a script that allows her to predict the future, why are things not unfolding as they did in her previous life?

What exactly went wrong?

Zhao Kai sensed Bai Weiwei's cold attitude towards him and assumed that she was still angry with him because he had insisted on skipping work to see a doctor.

However, Bai Weiwei's words made him feel a little more at ease.

She was also worried about her next medical appointment.

"Weiwei, we must have a good talk with Bai Zhi later. No matter what, we have to convince Doctor Ye to treat me." Zhao Kai thought of how Bai Weiwei always said he had the potential to be a boss and often reminded him that he must treat her well when he became successful.

Although Zhao Kai didn't know when he would have the luck to become a boss, he still followed Bai Weiwei's usual words and made her a heartfelt promise (dream): "Weiwei, I know you are the best person in the world to me, and the woman I love most in this life. Don't worry, when I achieve success in my career in the future, I will definitely treat you even better and make you shine."

Bai Weiwei was initially filled with melancholy, unsure of what the future held, but upon hearing Zhao Kai's spirited promise, she was somewhat comforted.

Her gaze softened as she looked at Zhao Kai, and her voice became sweet and coquettish, "Brother Kai, I believe in you. Difficulties are only temporary. With me, you'll definitely become a big boss. I'm very lucky for my husband."

Xie Zheng, who was bored out of his mind, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Why isn't it his turn yet?

I can't take it anymore.

Are you sure this is Bai Zhi's sister?

How can there be such a huge difference between sisters?

Finally, amidst Xie Zheng's deafening internal monologue, it was his turn.

He went in and greeted Bai Zhi and Ye Rufeng with a humble expression.

Ye Rufeng was well aware of his condition. Since there were other patients waiting, and to avoid wasting time, Ye Rufeng gestured for him to sit down and roll up his sleeves, intending to perform acupuncture.

Bai Zhi disinfected the silver needles and took them over.

She simply went about her work professionally and didn't speak to Xie Zheng.

Xie Zheng also seemed to become more cautious, carefully sitting down and waiting for acupuncture.

Of course, he, who was usually quite talkative, couldn't help but speak to Bai Zhi at this moment.

"There's a woman named Bai Weiwei behind me, and a man in line who says he's your sister and is also here for a medical checkup."

"What?" Bai Zhi looked surprised upon hearing his words. "Bai Weiwei and Zhao Kai?"

Xie Zheng nodded, "It should be one of those two names."

"They're like a persistent ghost."

Bai Zhi never expected that the two people would come all the way from Bincheng to Jishengtang to queue for treatment.

That's true. Given Zhao Kai's condition, they must have gone to the hospital but were helpless. They came to Nancheng because they had nowhere else to turn.

Of course, given her understanding of their current financial situation, it's impossible for her to visit every major hospital.

They came to the south of the city to see her maternal grandfather for medical treatment, partly because of his medical expertise.

On the other hand, he probably wants to play the emotional card with her again, shamelessly taking advantage of her.

"Understood." Bai Zhi handed the silver needles to Ye Rufeng.

Ye Rufeng began acupuncture on Xie Zheng. Usually, at this point, he would call in the next patient.

But Bai Zhi remained silent. Doctor Zhou, who was helping Zhou Lin prepare the medicine, noticed that Bai Zhi hadn't called the patient in. He glanced at his watch; there was still almost an hour before his shift ended.

He was about to kindly offer to call the patients in for Bai Zhi when he saw Bai Zhi take off her white coat. "Grandpa, I'll excuse myself for a moment. If they come in, just send them away."

If she were there, Bai Weiwei would inevitably cry and try to curry favor.

Outsiders only know that they are sisters by blood, but no one knows how they hurt her in the past.

The pain expressed in words is less than one-tenth of the pain itself.
