Afraid that Hu Meijing would continue discussing the indescribable maple leaf, Xiao Qian decided to adopt a professional doctorâs stance when talking to her.
âGenerally speaking, people with manic disorder may seem particularly sunny and always claim to have a positive mindset. However, these people usually think small and are easily troubled. Although they may verbally say whether they are cured or not doesnât matter, they actually care a lot. You should take more care of him, and if he loses his temper, please bear with him.â
âAlright, thank you, Dr. Chen.â
The absolute admiration and trust that patients show to doctors made Xiao Qian slightly embarrassed.
How stimulating it was for the hard-working Dr. Chen to publicly hint at something so suggestive in front of her patient? Xiao Qian wondered seriously.
They say that thicker skin is contagious. She must have been infected by Yu Xiaoqiangâs thick skin, Xiao Qian thought to herself.
After saying goodbye to Hu Meijing, Xiao Qian walked to the bus stop. She had a car, but Xiao Qiang did not allow her to drive.
Yu Minglang was still traumatized by the time Xiao Qian hit someone with her car and nagged her about driving without a license. No matter how she explained that she could drive, Yu Minglang insisted that she couldnât touch the steering wheel before obtaining a driverâs license.
Not only that, but he also confiscated her car keys, not allowing her to drive the flashy red car!
Yu Minglang usually listens to Xiao Qian in 90% of the cases. In the remaining 10%, itâs about safety issues. In Yu Minglangâs eyes, driving without a license is a huge crime. Xiao Qian promised him that she would turn to Zheng Xu and study how to buy a driverâs license. She planned to drive her car over, find a place to park it near the school, and have a convenient means of transportation when needed.
Somehow, Yu Minglang found out about this and was furious. He scolded Xiao Qian, warning her that if she dared to buy a driverâs license, he would never let her touch a car for the rest of her life, not even a tricycle. He meant what he said.
Xiao Qian had no choice but to submit to him. She knew about her rebirth, but Yu Minglang didnât. The skills from her past life, like getting a driverâs license, could only be achieved by finding time to take the test again. Recently, she had been too busy and didnât have time for that.
As a result, she had to rely on public transportation, which was quite frustrating.
While waiting for the bus, Xiao Qian took the opportunity to call Zheng Xu.
When Zheng Xu saw the call was from Xiao Qian, he waved at the two girls by his side and the room emptied immediately. He had developed a conditioned reflex, as Xiao Qian would always give him a lecture on his thought and politics whenever she heard him with many women around. Zheng Xu was even afraid of her.
âZheng Xu, are you drinking and flirting again?â
âHow could I? Iâm at the library, cultivating my mind and body. Spring is such an ideal season for self-care.â Zheng Xu replied solemnly.
Just then, one of the girls who had left pushed the door open and leaned seductively on the door frame, cooing, âBrother Xu, we have an appointment for a sauna together. Youâd better not be late.â
ââ¦â Zheng Xu decided to find out who sent this troublesome woman to ruin his plans.
He hoped Xiao Qian hadnât heard it, but â
âWhat a library, with all the staff dressed in super-short skirts and providing close-up services. After reading, you can even enjoy a mandarin duck bath together. Impressive, my Brother Xu.â
Embarrassed and angry, Zheng Xu glared at the girl, who quickly retreated.
Feigning innocence, Zheng Xu calmly asked, âSo, what do you want from me?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNothing much, just help me investigate someone named Hu Meijing.â
ââ¦Chen Xiaoqian, do you take me for the household registration department? Why donât you ask your familyâs Er Ha?â
âItâs not for nothing. Thereâs a benefit.â
âWhat is it?â
âBefore May, clear out, and get rid of all the shares you have in your hands.â
After the engagement banquet, Xiao Qian had a lot of extra money, and under Yu Minglangâs guidance, she invested in a few stocks, which had a good return, especially in the recent period, during which there was a continuous daily rise.
âDid you receive any news?â Zheng Xu became serious.
He also had a lot of connections, but nobody had given him any news so far. He had invested a lot in the stock market as well.
âWell, sort of. Remember, you must clear out everything before May, regardless of whether you make a profit or loss beforehand.â
âIt wasnât your familyâs fortune-telling Er Ha who told you, was it?â Zheng Xu couldnât help but ask as he knew Fourth Brother Yu was particularly good in such matters.
âYes and no, just clear the shares, anyway.â
Indeed, Yu Minglang had told Xiao Qian that the recent increase in shares seemed somewhat strange and that he planned to let Xiao Qian sell off both her funds and stocks. It was better to manage the risk, even if it meant making less money later on.
Xiao Qian was thoroughly impressed by her manâs sixth sense. It was just too good for him to do investment, financial management, and business.
In June, the bear market that lasted for four years in the stock market was about to begin. The issue of equity segment caused a general lack of confidence and a plunge in the market index. Many of her patients from her previous life recounted their experiences of this time in three words: blood and tears, which also included Zheng Xu.
Zheng Xu was very skilled in playing stocks, and he later swept the futures market alongside Xiao Qian. However, he had a dark history, and the big drop this year put Brother Xu in a tight spot. He lost so miserably that it affected his main business. If not for the help of his motherâs family, Xu would have had to obey his father and become a civil servant.
When Xiao Qian speaks, Zheng Xu listens at least a little. After Xiao Qian finished speaking, he took her words to heart.
âYou shared the news, but you donât steal land from our brother, you develop real estate on the side, and investigate the person I asked you about.â
âI submit to you⦠Youâre so annoying, Yu Chenâs Family.â
âWhat do you call me?!â Xiao Qian got angry.
âYouâre basically selling out to Old Yuâs family, helping the Old Yuâs family to bully me. Itâs not unfair to call you Yu Chenâs Family.â
âWhat do you mean by helping Old Yuâs family? You know your own position at my engagement banquet, right? Learn your place!â
Xiao Qian felt that her current relationship with Zheng Xu was excellent, even closer than in her previous life. In her past life, although they had a good relationship, it always felt somewhat tangled. This straightforward friendship was even better, as each person was at ease.
Zheng Xu was once again annoyed by Xiao Qian.
âBy the way, Zheng Xu, did you tell Yu Minglang about me wanting to buy a driverâs license?â
âDo you think I have a good relationship with Yu Minglang?â Zheng Xu countered.
âOh⦠Never mind then. Clear your shares early; donât say I didnât warn you!â
Xiao Qian also felt that Zheng Xu and Yu Minglang were not close enough to betray her. Just then, the bus arrived, and she hung up and got on.
Zheng Xu grinned sinisterly at the phone. He might not have a good relationship with Yu Minglang, but he had a great relationship with Chen Xiaoqian. As a âfamily member,â how could he not tell Yu Minglang about this?
âWho let you define me as a family member? What goes around comes around, Chen Xiaoqian, you deserve itâ¦â
