Chapter 181 Exhausting Benevolence and Righteousness

Even if you're faking it, you should at least make it look convincing.

Judging from Sun Wenxiu's rosy complexion and good health, she could easily climb ten floors in one go.

It was obviously an act, but Qi Chenyan didn't call him out on it.

Instead, they dialed 120, even as Sun Wenxiu and her daughter repeatedly said it wasn't necessary and that they just needed to lie down.

Qi Chenyan calmly instructed the security guards to carry Sun Wenxiu on their backs.

So, while Sun Wenxiu was crying out in pain, the ambulance arrived.

Without giving the mother and daughter a chance to speak, Qi Chenyan told the doctor about the situation and took them directly to the hospital.

"Brother-in-law, isn't this unnecessary? Besides, it's Mom's first time in Beijing. She's unfamiliar with the city and doesn't know any experts..."

Qi Chenyan interrupted in a calm tone: "Don't worry too much. You stay with your mother-in-law first. I'll be there later and will arrange everything properly."

Meanwhile, the nurses were already urging someone to get into the ambulance to accompany the patient.

There was nothing she could do; she had already put on an act, so Ren Qingxue could only grit her teeth and get into the ambulance. Anyway, Qi Chenyan had said he would come, so she wasn't afraid of not seeing him again.

After the ambulance took the mother and daughter away, Qi Chenyan immediately made a phone call to his secretary.

Have the secretary contact the hospital and arrange all the necessary tests.

Then, book two rooms at a nearby hotel next to the hospital and have the secretary accompany the patient throughout the visit.

After all the checks were completed, the mother and daughter were taken to a hotel.

If they cause trouble and refuse to stay, just pack them up and send them back to their hometown overnight.

Although the secretary on the other end of the phone didn't know what had happened, she could tell from the director's cold words and his indifference that the mother and daughter must have offended him.

As a qualified secretary, you only need to do what your leader tells you to do, and you should never ask too many questions.

The secretary quickly arranged everything, but Sun Wenxiu and her daughter, who were still dreaming of marrying a rich son-in-law, were stunned when they were taken to the hospital.

I originally thought it was just a simple project, but who would have thought that after finishing this one, I would have to do that one, and after finishing that one, there would be a whole bunch more waiting.

Even later on, Sun Wenxiu herself had to confess: "I'm not doing it anymore, I'm not sick, I'm really not sick, I'm perfectly fine, I want to find my son-in-law!"

"Hello, are you Ms. Sun? I was specially sent by Mr. Qi to accompany you throughout your examination. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have."

"Is there anything you're not satisfied with regarding the tests? Do you feel there aren't enough tests? Okay, I'll have the doctor arrange a few more right away, and do all the tests that the hospital can do. This will further ensure your health and safety."

Sun Wenxiu wasn't even given a chance to refute; the secretary spoke at a rapid-fire pace.

While speaking, he dialed the doctor's number and arranged a series of procedures for her, all under Sun Wenxiu's desperate and helpless gaze.

Sun Wenxiu was now truly furious: "Stop adding any more! Stop adding any more! I'm not sick at all, don't waste any more time in the hospital, I want to go back, I want to see my son-in-law!"

The secretary's smile vanished immediately. "You just said you weren't sick at all? But when Mr. Qi arranged for me to come here, he specifically told me that you've been suffering from headaches for a long time and haven't been able to get enough sleep."

"Could it be that everything you told Mr. Qi before was a lie?"

Sun Wenxiu opened her mouth, but before she could finish speaking, the secretary gave her a meaningful but threatening fake smile.

"I suggest you think it through before you speak, because what Mr. Qi hates most is being deceived."

Sun Wenxiu suddenly became hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Ren Qingxue immediately stepped forward, supporting Sun Wenxiu while smiling and saying, "You misunderstood. My mother meant that she was worried that doing so many tests would be too much of a waste of my brother-in-law's money, so she wanted to save money wherever possible."

"Besides headaches, my mom doesn't have any other health problems, so we don't need to do the rest of the project, right?"

The secretary spoke politely yet distantly: "All the projects have been approved and cannot be cancelled. Even if it takes longer, as you said, Ms. Sun, we cannot waste Mr. Qi's money and his filial piety, right?"

The mother and daughter choked immediately.

With no other option, Ren Qingxue could only work on one project after another with Sun Wenxiu, running around until the two of them were exhausted.

Because of the project, they couldn't even eat a meal.

Furthermore, some activities require holding in urine. At first, Sun Wenxiu didn't want to go to the toilet, so she could only drink water.

By the time you're almost bursting from drinking, there are still tons of projects left.

This is even more agonizing than having your neck stabbed.

By the time all the projects were finally finished, Sun Wenxiu was so hungry she could barely walk.

Ren Qingxue accompanied Sun Wenxiu, running up and down the hills, and she also caused quite a bit of trouble.

Don't be fooled by the secretary's words about being there to keep you company; he's all talk and no action. He's just there to watch the show.

The mother and daughter supported each other, both extremely hungry, feeling like they had lost several pounds in the day.

"The project is all finished. I see it's getting dark outside. We're really tired today, so let's not wander around outside anymore. Let's hurry back to our son-in-law's place to rest."

Sun Wenxiu had endured until now because of what Ren Qingxue said: as long as he could extort money from Qi Chenyan and stay in his villa, he wouldn't have to worry about anything in the future.

After all, with a luxurious villa to live in, who would be so foolish as to go back to live in a dilapidated old house?

"Of course, the room has been prepared for the two of you."

Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter instantly felt no more backache, leg pain, or hunger pangs, and felt as if they had been given a boost.

“I knew it. Xiaoli has always had excellent taste. The husband she chose must be just as filial as she is. Let’s go, let’s hurry up and go back to get some rest.”

When the mother and daughter got out of the car, full of excitement, they were both dumbfounded.

"This... doesn't seem to be a seaside villa, does it?"

Ren Qingxue, unusually not being naive, said: "This is not a seaside villa, it's clearly a hotel, and the hospital is right next door. We didn't drive that far at all!"

No wonder we were told we'd arrived as soon as we got on the bus, before we even had a chance to sit down properly.

Ren Qingxue still found it strange, but as soon as she got out of the car, she understood everything.

"My brother-in-law never intended for us to stay in a sea-view villa; instead, he put us in this cheap hotel?"

Ren Qingxue's words were aggressive, even carrying a sense of entitlement.

The secretary almost laughed out loud. "The hotel is five-star, and there are two standard suites. Today, Mr. Qi has gone to great lengths for the two of us, arranging inspections and hotel check-ins. Even to an outsider like me, this is more than enough."
