Chapter 1542 Celebrating His Being Cheated
"Have you eaten these dishes?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
Jike Brightman said helplessly: "Xiao, I can even call out the name of the dish, how could I not have eaten it? One of my father's students was from Daxia, and he often cooked for us at home back then."
"So that's how it is!" Xiao Peng suddenly realized.
Finally, Zeke Brightman said, "But as their business got better and better, opportunities like this became rarer and rarer. Then he went out on his own. I've never had these two authentic dishes again. I've ordered them at Chinese restaurants, but they didn't taste very good. Your cooking skills are really good!"
Xiao Peng quickly said modestly, "My cooking skills are only average. The chefs in my family are better than me."
"Are you a chef? You don't look like one!" said Zeke Brightman.
Xiao Peng didn't explain this. Jike Brightman muttered to himself, "But there are so many people who don't look like me, like me. No one would believe I'm a medical student, right?"
"Are you a medical student?" Xiao Peng was also taken aback after hearing this: "You don't look like one."
Zeke Brightman said: "Well, everyone says that, but I'm actually a student at the University of Texas Medical School."
Xiao Peng suddenly laughed: "It's to inherit the family business, right?"
Now it was Zeke Brightman's turn to be surprised: "How did you know?"
Xiao Peng said, "You said your father and the Bullocks were sworn enemies. Of course, their biggest enemy is the doctor."
After hearing this, Zeke Brightman laughed and said, "Xiao, you are so smart! That's right, my father is Brook J. Brightman, the founder of the Houston Brightman Spinal Disease Clinical Center."
Xiao Peng whistled after hearing this.
"Huh? Have you heard of it?" Zeke Brightman was a little curious when he saw Xiao Peng's reaction.
Xiao Peng answered truthfully, "Of course. My ex-girlfriend is a doctor, but she specializes in neurosurgery. She once worked with your father and one of his students, named Jon, on an operation to treat a patient with insufficient blood flow to the brain due to spinal nerve deformation. She always spoke highly of your father and Dr. Jon, especially your father."
Zeke Brightman said, "Then I really want to thank your ex-girlfriend on behalf of my father. However, since she can cooperate with my father in the operation, your ex-girlfriend must be a very good doctor."
"Uh..." This kid spoke quite arrogantly.
Jake Brightman continued, "The 'Jon' your ex-girlfriend mentioned is actually named Jin Hanzhuo. He's my father's student. The one who cooked lunch for us is actually him. In fact, this party today is also because of him—to celebrate him getting scammed!"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Xiao Peng was drinking and choked when he heard this and started coughing violently. What's your relationship?
Zeke Brightman said: "This guy's parents worked for others in San Francisco. When he came to Texas to study medicine, he couldn't even afford the tuition. My father thought he had talent, arranged for him to live, and found him a job. After he finished his studies, my father directly let him join my father's clinic. Under my father's guidance, he became a top spinal surgeon."
"Then why did he leave?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
Zeke Brightman said, "His wife. He married Miss Connecticut, Regina Turner, who was nine years his junior. They met at the Miss America pageant."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "This is the standard 'rich man, beautiful woman' combination!"
In the United States, top doctors earn very high salaries, millions of dollars a year is no problem. Marrying a beauty pageant contestant would be a piece of cake, right?
Zeke Brightman nodded and said, "Yeah, that's what everyone says. But Regina Turner prefers the drunken and extravagant lifestyle of New York and Los Angeles, and Texas obviously doesn't meet her requirements. Anyway, the end result is that Jon went to New York and works at a top medical center in Manhattan."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "No wonder you hate him so much, it's really a bit disappointing. How did he get tricked?"
When Xiao Peng asked this question, Zeke Brightman suddenly burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Peng asked in confusion.
Jake Brightman managed to suppress his laughter and replied, "A few days ago, Jon filed for divorce. The reason for the divorce was that his wife had been working as a call girl. She was doing it before we got married, and she's still doing it after we got married."
"WHAT?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "Does she need it? With Qiao En's income, does she still need to engage in the flesh trade?"
Zeke Brightman suppressed a laugh and answered seriously, "Actually, it really is necessary. When they met, Regina told Jon that she was raising venture capital for a tech startup, and that her great-grandmother had left her a $500,000 inheritance. After they got married, Regina often used business trips or travel as excuses to cover up her lies, but she was actually just taking on clients to make money. Maybe she felt that even though she was married, she didn't want to cut off her clientele. Keeping in touch regularly would help her maintain her skills. Regardless, when Jon discovered the chat history on Regina's social media app on his computer, he was completely stunned. Oh, and one more thing: Regina said she was a graduate of the University of Connecticut, but in fact, she didn't even finish high school... See, now you understand why people look down on 'Ned'? What's the point of such a high degree? Didn't he end up being a laughing stock?"
Xiao Peng shook his head. "This has nothing to do with his education. Men are always dazzled by beauty. Many men become incredibly naive when they meet a beautiful woman. These things can be investigated clearly with a pre-marital investigation. He wouldn't be the first to make such a mistake, and he definitely won't be the last."
"What about you?" Zeke Brightman asked Xiao Peng, "You won't make the same mistake?"
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "At least I wouldn't be so demanding that I would marry a woman just because she's pretty. You see, I have no shortage of pretty girls around me."
He was talking about Van der Laupe and Kayser.
But to be honest, neither Van der Laupe nor Kaiser can be considered top beauties. They are both pure Germanic and have slightly square faces.
Zeke Brightman said, "Your friends are all pretty girls, but there are better choices in this world. I have to go back now. I can't keep my friends waiting too long. How about you all come to our place for the party?"
Xiao Peng declined with a smile. "Thank you for your kindness. We just arrived in Houston today and haven't adjusted to the time difference yet. We'll have a good rest after eating and drinking. Bruch, give us a bottle of wine so we can reciprocate. Give Jake a bottle of champagne to take back."
