After he finished talking with Mr. Gu, the smoke gradually dissipated.
"Don't worry, Mr. Huo. Since you're so confident, I won't hold you back," Mr. Gu said. "Just give me a call when the time comes, and I'll arrange as many as you need."
Mr. Gu seems to be signaling for his guests to leave.
Sheng Nanyin, however, had not yet put down her work and seemed to want to stay for a while longer.
Huo Beichen remained seated, a storm brewing in his eyes.
"Dr. Sheng." At that moment, a well-maintained middle-aged woman walked in.
Upon seeing this, Huo Beichen politely stood up and said, "Mrs. Gu."
"Mrs. Gu," Sheng Nanyin greeted her.
Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded at Huo Beichen, then affectionately took Sheng Nanyin's hand, "Dr. Sheng, I slept very well last night after you gave me acupressure. You must give me acupressure again today."
Sheng Nanyin nodded: "I'll come again tomorrow, Mrs. Gu. I have another client scheduled for today."
"But I've been very tired these past few days, so I'd like you to give me a massage today." Mrs. Gu looked at her expectantly.
"How about I come back tonight?" Sheng Nanyin didn't want to miss the opportunity to make money.
Mrs. Gu nodded repeatedly: "I'll send a driver to pick you up."
“Mrs. Gu,” Huo Beichen said at this moment, “there are many health preservation masters, I can introduce you to a few.”
Sheng Nanyin couldn't help but bite her lip.
Is he blatantly trying to cut off her business?
Mrs. Gu shook her head and laughed, "I've looked at at least 99, if not 100, health practitioners in this city, and Dr. Sheng is the one I like best. I won't change no matter who you find."
Sheng Nanyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh?" Huo Beichen raised an eyebrow: "Is Dr. Sheng's cooking really that good?"
“Of course,” Mrs. Gu nodded. “Why don’t you give it a try, Mr. Huo?”
Sheng Nanyin: Ah no no no no no…
Mrs. Gu had already turned to look at her: "Dr. Sheng, you should also get a card for Mr. Huo as soon as possible, the highest level one, and top it up with 100,000 yuan at once."
Mrs. Gu meant well and was trying to get business for her.
Sheng Nanyin shook her head with difficulty: "My current clients are all booked, and I can't schedule any more time for them."
Huo Beichen said, "I can deposit 1 million at once."
Mrs. Gu quickly advised, "You should turn down those smaller clients. Mr. Huo is a big client."
Mr. Gu also said, "If you invest this 1 million, the interest alone will be enough for you to make a living for a while."
Sheng Nanyin calmed down and smiled slightly: "Thank you, President Huo."
"Come to my house at 3 pm tomorrow for a health regimen," Huo Beichen said, turning and leaving.
The next afternoon, Huo Beichen made a point of returning to his apartment from the company at 2:30 pm.
He discovered that he actually felt a sliver of anticipation.
All things considered, it had been a long time since he and this woman had spent time alone together.
He opened a bottle of red wine and poured it all into the decanter.
In the past, Sheng Nanyin had always taken care of these things.
steak.
wine.
The bathwater was filled with the scent of roses.
There was also some soft music playing...
He recalled the scene from yesterday, where his slender fingertips pressed against other people, and anger flared up in his eyes again.
That was the special treatment he used to receive.
That damn woman!
"Ding-dong!" The doorbell rang right on time.
He opened the door, and a subtle change appeared in his eyes.
The person standing at the door was Sun Xiaowei.
Sun Xiaowei stared into his eyes, a smile playing on her lips: "Brother Beichen, why do I feel like you're disappointed in me?"
Huo Beichen's expression remained unchanged: "Why are you here?"
"You've been very busy with work these past few days, so I'm here to help you relax."
Sun Xiaowei put down the small cloth box in her hand, opened it, and saw that it contained some essential oils and massage tools.
“I’ve been learning this these past few days,” she said with a smile. “You don’t mind if I use you as a guinea pig, do you?”
Huo Beichen remained silent.
"Oh right, I'll fill the bathtub with water first, you can take a bath with essential oils first." She ran into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Huo Beichen went behind the curtains.
He spotted a figure hiding in the garden downstairs.
It really was her.
A cold smile flickered across his lips.
What did she think she was doing?
Was he testing the waters between him and Sun Xiaowei?
He wouldn't mind telling her the answer!
Sheng Nanyin couldn't explain what she was thinking at that moment.
She told Sun Xiaowei the whole story.
She didn't want to have anything to do with Huo Beichen anymore.
She watched Sun Xiaowei go upstairs.
But why hasn't she left yet?
What is she waiting for?
At this moment, half an hour had passed since Sun Xiaowei went upstairs.
Her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the entrance of the stairwell.
There was no one there.
Looking up at the building, all she could feel was the boundless spring sunshine.
She should leave.
Onward to the next customer's house.
She was busy until midnight before taking a taxi home.
It's the weekend, and Yun Suiwan took Zeze to her home.
She said there was a small party at her house, and Zeze could participate more.
Actually, Yun Suiwan didn't want Zeze to be bored at home alone.
She was very grateful to Yun Suiwan.
She took out her notebook and calculated the money she had earned during this period.
All that hard work during this period was finally worthwhile.
After they go abroad, this money will be enough for the mother and son to live on for more than half a year.
If we add the 1 million yuan that Huo Beichen paid for the card, Zeze can live in a better place.
She had no intention of returning the 1 million to Huo Beichen.
He's the child's father; consider this money as child support.
At this moment, Yun Suiwan sent her a message.
Zeze went to sleep around 10 pm. He's not picky about his bed, so don't worry.
With Zeze with you, of course I feel at ease.
You must be tired too. Go home and get some rest.
Thank you, Ms. Yun.
Miss Yun, may I ask you a question?
[You asked]
When are you and Mr. Lu planning to get married and have children?
I can't answer your question. How about you answer one of my questions in return: is there any cure for the poison I have?
Sheng Nanyin smiled slightly.
Of course there is, but the antidote isn't easy to obtain.
It requires the right timing, location, and people, as well as a certain amount of luck.
What is that? Tell me, and I can create it.
You can't create it, but you'll have it someday.
Yun Suiwan put down her phone and let out a sigh of relief.
It felt like Sheng Nanyin said a lot, yet it also felt like she said nothing at all.
She seems to be keeping something a secret.
What does she need?
money?
Or is it about Zeze's custody?
She showed this conversation to Lu Dongjue.
"I think she doesn't know anything, so she deliberately spoke in such a mysterious way to pique your interest," Lu Dongjue analyzed.
"Why is she keeping me in suspense?" Yun Suiwan wondered.
“I’ll ask you for help, to do all sorts of things for her,” Lu Dongjue replied.
"But even now, she hasn't asked me for any help. Instead, she's the one who begged medicine for Grandpa." Yun Suiwan rested her chin on her hand, even more puzzled.
Lu Dongjue sat down next to her, his eyes shining: "You just said, Grandpa."
