She couldn't eat anything at the moment and could only rely on intravenous fluids to survive. At that time, Mo Kai Liang's phone received a WeChat message from Lan Qingqing.
"Darling, you need to make her wish she were dead! Think about what she did to me before; we absolutely can't let her off the hook!"
Mo Kai Liang walked over to the wall, lowered his head, and typed back, "I can't be too obvious right now. Aunt has been hospitalized so early; it must be because she took too much medication before. But it's also her fault for eating too much at every meal."
Lan Qingqing sent a laughing emoji in response. "Karma gets you back! Anyway, I've scheduled an appointment for a hydrating injection at the Medical Aesthetic Institution. I'm going for some beauty treatments!"
Ke Wenjie drove to the front entrance of the Medical Aesthetics store. He parked his car under a large tree at the far side of the parking lot, afraid of being seen entering such a place.
Upon entering the lobby of the Medical Aesthetic Institution, he was greeted by bright white lighting and an opulent facade that exuded grandeur. The lobby was spacious, with three exquisitely beautiful receptionists at the front desk, all with standard cosmetic surgery faces, making it hard to distinguish any significant differences among them.
On the walls hung various photos of renowned cosmetic surgeons and successful transformation cases—big eyes, high noses, youthful faces. Ke Wenjie looked at those photos and felt as if he were looking at one person; there seemed to be no distinction at all.
However, he quickly recognized one photo on the wall—Hua Rongxiao and Hua Jie. If he remembered correctly, Hua Jie had aged, while Hua Rongxiao was the woman he was about to meet shortly—the same woman he had borrowed money from after a long time apart.
This Hua Yan Medical Aesthetics was Hua Rongxiao's company, which owned half of the Medical Aesthetic Institutions in the area. They had dozens of branches, with at least ten or so under their name. Hua Rongxiao was the big boss of Hua Yan Medical Aesthetics and also had a typical cosmetic surgery face; it was hard to tell what procedures she had undergone over the years—her face showed no wrinkles, her skin taut and even glistening with oil.
Ke Wenjie introduced himself, and the receptionist invited him in. "Ah, Mr. Ke! President Hua is waiting for you upstairs; please follow me."
As Ke Wenjie followed the receptionist upstairs, he casually asked, "How many new branches has your company opened recently?"
The receptionist smiled and replied, "I'm not quite sure about that, but I heard from the boss that there might be more openings soon."
Ke Wenjie was quite surprised that a cosmetic surgery company could reach such heights. He recalled how he had once rejected Hua Rongxiao's proposal to be together because he looked down on her profession. Now it seemed that his previous narrow-mindedness was misplaced.
Meanwhile, in the lobby downstairs, Lan Qingqing entered the Medical Aesthetics store with her small Hermès handbag. She approached the front desk with excitement. "Hi there! I have an appointment for a hydrating injection at seven-thirty."
She glanced towards one side of the wall and asked, "Has Dr. Hua's latest schedule come out yet? I've been wanting to get a nose job done by her; I feel like other doctors' skills are just average. I want to wait for Dr. Hua's availability."
The female staff member at the front desk replied, "The schedule hasn't been released yet, but it will be soon. I'll notify you when it's ready."
In the office upstairs, Ke Wenjie entered and saw Hua Rongxiao attending to a client. As always, Hua was slender, dressed in a black suit, and his overly elongated oval face was the first impression that struck Ke Wenjie.
He always felt that Hua Rongxiao's face was too sharp and pointed, unlike that of a normal person; it resembled a snake spirit. He recalled that Hua's face had been sculpted through surgery, and he could never understand Hua's aesthetic choices then, nor could he now.
What baffled him even more was how someone with such a somewhat distorted sense of beauty as Hua Rongxiao could achieve such a look with just a few syringes of hyaluronic acid and a scalpel.
Hua Rongxiao had not changed at all; the only difference was that he exuded even more charisma now, making him seem more unapproachable than before. In contrast, Ke Wenjie had returned to being nothing after having once possessed everything.
Once Hua finished with the client, he approached Ke Wenjie. The elongated face before him, with its European-style double eyelids and large eyes, still surprised Ke Wenjie as it had in the past; he did not like this artificial visage.
Hua Rongxiao smirked slightly and spoke, "I told you long ago that you would eventually come back to find me. Do you think being a live-in son-in-law is that easy? Ke Wenjie, only I truly understand your ambitions in this world, and only I can help you."
