Chapter 150: 150: Not Willing to Concede

“You…” Liu Yujuan’s face turned livid with rage, about to lash out at Zhou Ruyan.

In this regard, she feared no one.

But before she could get the words out, she saw Zhao Hai appear behind Zhou Ruyan.

“What are you doing here?” Zhao Hai didn’t give Liu Yujuan a warm reception, and his tone was particularly frigid.

“Zhao Hai, Tian Cheng and I have divorced. Now Yu Lu and I have nowhere to live, can we stay at your place for a while?” Liu Yujuan began to play the victim, painting herself as pitiful.

“I’m sorry, but Ru Yan and I are living together now. It’s inconvenient to have you stay here,” said Zhao Hai.

What!

They really were living together!

Although she had already suspected it, hearing the news still struck Liu Yujuan like a bolt from the blue.

If they were living together, then the difficulty for her and Zhao Hai to reconcile had multiplied infinitely.

“Besides, you divorced Yang Tiancheng, he must have given you a share of his assets. Considering Tian Cheng’s worth, with your share, you could easily afford to buy a house. So why portray yourself as so helpless?” Zhao Hai added.

“Zhao Hai, you know what kind of person Yang Tiancheng is. Do you think he would give me any property? I didn’t get a single cent. Yu Lu and I are penniless now. We’ve been staying in a hotel these last few days and have run out of money. I originally wanted to bring Yu Lu with me, but she’s too shy to face you, so I had to come alone. If you don’t take us in, we’ll end up on the streets. You can ignore me, but you can’t ignore Yu Lu. No matter what, Yu Lu is your daughter,” Liu Yujuan played the daughter card yet again.

She always felt that using her daughter could leverage Zhao Yulu.

But Zhao Hai was not so easily deceived.

He questioned, “Yang Tiancheng really didn’t give you any property?”

Liu Yujuan immediately shook her head: “Nothing, not a single penny.”

“Wait here a moment,” said Zhao Hai. Then he went back inside the house.

What did he mean by wait? Wait for what?

Liu Yujuan was somewhat perplexed.

Before long, Zhao Hai returned to the doorway, holding a cell phone, and dialed a number.

He even turned on the speakerphone.

The call connected quickly.

“Zhao Hai, I’ve lost my job, and my wife left me. Are you calling to mock me?”

From the phone, a familiar voice emerged—it was Yang Tiancheng’s voice.

Hearing this voice, Liu Yujuan’s complexion changed instantly.

“I don’t have the time to make fun of you, and you should know that’s not the kind of person I am,” Zhao Hai spoke dispassionately.

“Then why are you calling?” asked Yang Tiancheng.

“Liu Yujuan is at my doorstep now, asking me to take her in. She says you two have divorced and that you didn’t give her a penny. I wanted to check with you, whether what she’s saying is true?” said Zhao Hai.

“That damn woman!” The moment he heard this, Yang Tiancheng on the other end of the line erupted in anger, “Zhao Hai, don’t you believe her nonsense. I gave her over twelve million according to the law!”

Zhao Hai responded indifferently, “Alright, I got it, thanks.”

After hanging up, Zhao Hai turned to Liu Yujuan: “This is what you call being about to end up on the streets?”

Liu Yujuan’s face turned iron blue, her mouth opened, but she could not say a thing.

What else could she say? Nothing would be useful now.

She hadn’t anticipated Zhao Hai would directly call Yang Tiancheng to verify.

This kind of deceit, exposed right to her face, made her wish she could just crawl into a hole and hide.

Bang!

Zhao Hai sneered, said nothing more, and closed the door.

“Bastard!” Liu Yujuan cursed furiously, realizing that she had ruined her chances today, and dragged her suitcase away.

Back home, the expression on her face was still quite ugly.

“He didn’t let you in, did he?” Zhao Yulu had known this would be the outcome.

“He’s already living with that woman.” Liu Yujuan said angrily.

“Oh.” Zhao Yulu responded indifferently, and continued to play with her phone.

“That’s your reaction? Aren’t you going to say anything?” Liu Yujuan was dissatisfied with Zhao Yulu’s calm response.

“What should I say? Dad has been divorced for so many years. In the past, he probably didn’t remarry because he wanted to take care of my sister and was afraid she would be wronged. Now that my sister is married, he has come out of retirement, become the boss of Jiang Di Lao, and found a new woman. It’s pretty normal,” Zhao Yulu said.

“Are you trying to make me furious?” Liu Yujuan shook with anger.

“Mom, just listen to me, stop harboring illusions. Let’s just live our lives well. Dad will never take you back,” Zhao Yulu said.

“I can’t accept this. I bore him two daughters and got nothing in return. Now he’s successful, but he’s found another woman.” Liu Yujuan was fuming.

Zhao Yulu rolled her eyes, at a loss for what to say.

From the sound of it, my mom thinks Dad’s a heartbreaker.

But she knew that wasn’t the case.

However, she no longer wanted to say anything about her mom.

…

On Monday, Hui’an Pharmaceuticals held a press conference.

They announced the successful development of a drug that cures stomach cancer, and that the first phase of clinical trials was a complete success.

The news broke, and it immediately caused a sensation.

“Damn, even cancer can be cured now. Hui’an Pharmaceuticals is amazing!”

“This is absolutely a landmark event!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Incredible, there’s hope for stomach cancer patients now!”

“If stomach cancer can be cured, can other types of cancer be far behind?”

“I hope Hui’an Pharmaceuticals keeps up the good work and continues to develop drugs for other types of cancer!”

“A blessing for stomach cancer patients, now all stomach cancer patients have hope.”

“That’s not necessarily the case. Only a small portion of stomach cancer patients might be saved.”

“What do you mean?”

“Think about it, a drug that can treat stomach cancer will definitely be very expensive, probably costing millions. Most people are just ordinary folks, where would they get that much money for the medicine?”

“You do have a point. Let’s hope Hui’an Pharmaceuticals doesn’t price it so high. Don’t give stomach cancer patients hope and then plunge them into despair.”

“The company surely spent a lot of money on research and development. Unless there’s government support, it certainly will be very expensive. Capitalists don’t care about much other than making money.”

“No wonder people say that in this world, no sickness is scary except for poverty disease.”

“Absolutely. As long as you have money, no cancer or terminal illness is too scary, as long as it is discovered early and treated vigorously. Even if it cannot be cured, it can greatly extend the patient’s lifespan, making them no different from a normal person.”

“Such a piece of good news, yet you guys make it sound so grave. No matter what, this is a good thing. Maybe the government will include this drug in the scope of medical insurance reimbursement, so we won’t have to worry about the cost.”

“Right, it’s a good thing. I am proud of our country for having such an enterprise.”

“Hui’an Pharmaceuticals sounds like a publicly-traded company. We could buy its stocks; there must be money to be made.”

“Don’t bother. As soon as the announcement was made, Hui’an Pharmaceuticals hit the upper limit.”

“Damn, not even giving us a chance to get on board!”

“Don’t rush. This kind of stock will definitely have a strong bullish trend. Look for an opportunity to enter the market, hold on to it patiently, and there’s definitely money to be made.”

“Haha, I’ve been holding Hui’an Pharmaceuticals stocks for a while. It used to fall constantly, and there were rumors that the company was going bankrupt, which really stressed me out. I never expected such a huge pleasant surprise. I’ll make my comeback thanks to Hui’an Pharmaceuticals.”

“Boo hoo, I couldn’t stand Hui’an Pharmaceuticals’ decline anymore and just sold off last Friday. Why does fate have to play such a joke on me!”
