After finishing her medical aesthetics procedure, Lan Qingqing arrived at her new home, freshly cleaned and spotless. There were no annoying presences like Zhang Huizhi or Ke Jie, and nothing to irritate her. It felt as if her new life was beginning simply and effortlessly.
Humming a little tune, Lan Qingqing turned on all the lights in the house, illuminating the space. It was as if her beautiful life was about to unfold, just as new and transparent as this home. The only thing she needed to deal with was the child in her womb. After all, it was a burden she didn't want to bear for a man who couldn't even stand on his own.
At that moment, her phone rang. To her surprise, it was a staff member from Ying Yan Medical Aesthetics Institution. The staff member informed her that there was an update: "Miss Lan, we have a scheduling notification for you. Ying Rong Xiao and Yuan Zhang's availability has come through. Since you are one of our valued clients, would you like to be scheduled first?"
Lan Qingqing exclaimed excitedly, "Absolutely! Do you know how long I've been troubled about my flat nose? If it weren't for Yuan Zhang personally performing the procedure, I wouldn't even want to go through with it!"
The staff member replied, "Alright, I will make the appointment for you and let you know the specific time soon."
After hanging up, Lan Qingqing's phone buzzed again with a notification—a transfer alert. The message indicated that Mo Kai Liang had sent her two hundred thousand in cash.
Lan Qingqing widened her eyes in disbelief; what kind of day was this? All these good news came at once! She had moved into a new home, rid herself of a scoundrel, undergone beauty treatments, secured an appointment with Dr. Ying, and now received a windfall of two hundred thousand!
Overwhelmed with joy, she burst into laughter and began dancing in the living room.
Soon after, Mo Kai Liang sent a message: "The money I won at the casino is all stored with you now; my money is your money."
As she danced and stood in front of the mirror, Lan Qingqing never imagined that the turning point in her life would begin with breaking free from Ke Jie. She had stubbornly believed that she couldn't live without him; now it seemed he had only held her back!
The next day at the hospital, Ke Jie visited Zhang Huizhi. In the hospital room, Zhang Huizhi was receiving an IV while Mo Kai Liang busily organized things around.
When Ke Jie entered the room and saw his mother, her previously gloomy expression brightened instantly.
"Have you eaten breakfast yet?" Zhang Huizhi asked him. "Where did you stay last night?"
She noticed the red marks on his neck and face—there were several bruises on his neck and what looked like a faint handprint on his cheek that didn’t seem quite right.
Zhang Huizhi hesitated to ask about the marks on his neck; they didn't look like anything respectable.
Ke Jie felt a bit awkward himself. He had spent the night at Ying Rong Xiao's place, where she nearly exhausted him entirely. But to gain her assistance, he had to endure whatever whims she had.
He had initially planned to cover up the marks with band-aids, but there were too many hickeys to hide. Even the faint fingerprints on his face were from that crazy woman! He couldn't fathom what kind of peculiarities she possessed!
After briefly inquiring about Zhang Huizhi's health and transferring some living expenses to Mo Kai Liang, he headed to the billing department to settle the hospital fees in one go.
As he left the billing department, Ke Jie felt a weight lift off his shoulders; he had finally resolved this pressing issue. Now it was time for him to seek revenge.
Now, with Ying Rong Xiao backing him up, he felt a bit more confident.
An hour later, Ke Jie arrived at Zong Group.
Ke Jie knew that Tong Le was currently in the boss's office at Zong Group. He had asked the staff several times to announce his presence and request a meeting with Tong Le, but Tong Le refused to see him.
Inside the conference room, a small meeting had just concluded. The topic of discussion was Zong Group's approval of the acquisition plan for Tongshan Real Estate Company, which would be acquired through asset offsetting.
For several consecutive days, Zong Zeyu had devised a complete plan for acquiring Tongshan Real Estate without spending a single penny, thereby bringing Tongshan Real Estate under Zong Group's ownership and severing all financial ties with Tong Le and Ke Jie.
