3527 We are in Big Trouble 7
Huo Mian almost dropped to the ground when she heard it.
What were they talking about? Her kept man?
Huo Mian turned to look at Mr. Qin and saw his face had fallen...
"Hahahaha! Kept man. You're too expensive. I can't afford to keep you..." Huo Mian put one arm around Qin Chu and said in a low voice.
"Dr. Huo, please pay up this month's fees."
"I don't have money. But I can pay you with myself and the baby." Huo Mian touched her belly.
"Without money, you dare to keep a young man?"
They teased each other.
Finally, Huo Mian walked up and asked, "Can you tell me how to get to Director Jiang's office?"
"Are you a patient? Our Director Jiang doesn't see patients. And..."
The young nurse glanced at Huo Mian's belly.
"He never sees pregnant women."
"I'm not a patient. I'm here to see Director Jiang for business."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No."
"I'm sorry, but Director Jiang doesn't receive clients without an appointment."
"Is it so? Tell him that Vice Director Huo of C City is here to visit him."
"Vice Director Huo? Where's she?" The young nurses all looked behind her.
"I'm her, " Huo Mian said calmly.
Instantly, the nurses gasped.
"Are you... really her?" The young nurse looked unconvinced.
"Yeah. If you don't believe me, I'll show you proof..."
Huo Mian pointed at Mr. Qin standing behind her and said with a straight face, "This is my kept man."
The young nurses looked at Huo Mian and then the man behind her in stupefaction.
"Um... Please wait a second. I'll call him immediately."
With a cringe, the young nurses turned immediately to call their superior.
Huo Mian almost laughed out loud... These gossiping girls were hilarious with their misinformed conversation.
- At C City's Jade Dragon Hot Spring Hotel -
It was a banquet celebrating old Mrs. Shen's 80th birthday. Not wanting to invite lots of guests, the Shen Family had chosen to hold the event in a suburban hotel.
The guests were mostly their relatives and friends; they didn't invite any business partners.
Shen Mingxi issued the invitation to Wei Ying at the last minute; of course, he didn't dare to hope that she'd come.
After their meeting on the Chinese Valentine's Day, they got closer but the relationship between them was still subtle.
Wei Ying came with a girl who was also a rich socialite from their circle.
They looked good dressed in red and white evening gowns respectively.
Wei Ying was quite low-profiled. In order to draw little attention to her, she was careful with her make-up and outfit.
"Ying, do you really want to get back together with Shen Mingxi?"
"Nonsense. We're just friends."
"But you're quite attentive to the Shen Family. To attend the old lady's birthday banquet, you even canceled your trip and returned the air ticket. Do you think it's worth it? Will he appreciate your efforts?"
"I don't need their appreciation. Grandma Shen was nice to me, so I'm doing it for my own conscience."
They walked in while they talked.
Seeing Wei Ying, Shen Mingxi walked toward her immediately.
Mrs. Shen took her hand with warmth.
"Ying, it's been a while since I saw you last time. You look even prettier than before."
Wei Ying smiled gently.
At this moment, noises came from the door...
"Mr. Shen, look. That's..."
Shen Mingxi's friend standing beside him called to get his attention.
He turned and looked toward the door.
His body shook when he saw Huo Yanyan, the woman who was supposed to be locked in the psychiatric center.
Dressed in a black long dress baring her shoulders and wearing exquisite and somewhat eerie make-up, she walked toward Shen Mingxi slowly.
