Chapter 111: You're a poor wretch
After Shen Xingcheng finished speaking, he tried to leave, but the old man grabbed his sleeve and wouldn't let him go.
In the midst of the argument, Qiao Weiwei stormed over.
"Shen Xingcheng, what are you doing? How can you be so shameless? I already told you we broke up, and you still dare to harass my grandma."
Qiao Weiwei stepped forward and pushed Shen Xingcheng away. Only then did Shen Xingcheng realize that this unreasonable old woman was Qiao Weiwei's grandmother.
"Is this old woman your grandmother?"
Previously, Qiao Weiwei said that her grandmother was very ill, and he gave Qiao Weiwei the money he had earned from his part-time job so that she could take care of her grandmother's medical treatment.
Now, this "energetic" old lady doesn't seem to resemble the seriously ill woman she described.
The old woman, Pang Chunyan, looked at Qiao Weiwei with a slightly ferocious expression and said, "Weiwei, do you know him?"
"He is Shen Xingcheng."
Qiao Weiwei spoke casually, with a hint of disdain. The old woman, Pang Chunyan, wiped away her previous ferocity and smiled, saying, "So this is the Shen Xingcheng you were talking about."
Shen Xingcheng thought the old man would say that it was all a misunderstanding, after all, he and Qiao Weiwei had known each other.
But to his surprise, the old man said disdainfully, "Look at you, you poor wretch, trying to harass my granddaughter. Don't you take a good look at yourself? Do you even deserve it? Let me tell you, my granddaughter is going to be the wife of a group president. A poor boy like you from an orphanage isn't even worthy of driving for my granddaughter."
Shen Xingcheng found it ridiculous; how did it turn into him pestering her?
Shen Xingcheng was born into an orphanage. He is emotionally sensitive and withdrawn. He met Qiao Weiwei while working at a milk tea shop.
She was the one who pursued him. He initially didn't want to pay attention, but he couldn't resist her persistent pleading and thought she was sincere towards him. She told everyone around her that she was his girlfriend, but he hadn't actually agreed to be with her.
Even though he denied it in public, she remained unaffected. He thought she was a very sunny and cheerful girl, and he didn't want to hurt her.
Later, everyone treated her as his girlfriend, and he acquiesced to it.
She said her grandmother was sick. He gave her all the money he had earned from his job and wanted to visit her grandmother, but she refused with various excuses.
Looking back now, I think she did it on purpose, or perhaps her grandmother looked down on him because he was from an orphanage and didn't want to see him.
“You’re overthinking it. I’m not like your granddaughter at all, and we have absolutely no relation.”
Shen Xingcheng left as soon as he finished speaking. He knew that Qiao Weiwei had already set her sights on a rich man, and he didn't want to get entangled with her; he just wanted to leave.
The old man behind him said disdainfully, "No wonder he was thrown into an orphanage, turns out he's lame. You should stay away from people like Weiwei, lest he ask you for money. You're going to be a CEO's wife someday, you should stay away from poor bastards like him."
Shen Xingcheng clenched his fists tightly. He was furious but forced himself to suppress it. He told himself to ignore it and keep walking forward.
"Grandma, he's not lame, he's probably just injured."
"He's not lame, he has all four limbs, and he's quite good-looking, so why was he abandoned in an orphanage? Did he bring misfortune to his parents, or was he some bastard child his mother had with some random man, and that's why she threw him into an orphanage!"
Shen Xingcheng originally didn't want to pay attention, but the old lady's words were really too vicious.
He turned back and said angrily, "It's okay if you talk about me, but I'm warning you, don't you dare talk about my parents."
"Oh my, so tough. What did I, this old woman, say wrong? People like you who were thrown into orphanages, either their parents are dead, or they messed around and didn't know who the father of the child was before throwing them into an orphanage."
The old man's vicious words stung Shen Xingcheng's eardrums.
It's not that old people have changed, it's that bad people have grown old.
Shen Xingcheng clenched his fists in anger, just then Jiang Qianhui appeared with a cold look in her eyes.
"Grandma, are you in a hurry to die at this age?"
The old man listened to Jiang Qianhui and said angrily, "Who are you, woman? You seem to enjoy standing up for the weak. Have you taken a fancy to this young punk? You've been so flirtatious all day!"
I've never seen such a foul mouth!
"Qiao Weiwei, your grandma looks much better now and is ready to be discharged. I'll have someone process her discharge."
The old woman's eyes were wide open; she had been faking illness all along. Since all medical expenses were reimbursed and she even received subsidies, she planned to stay a little longer.
Who is this person who actually wants to discharge her from the hospital!
"Who are you? What right do you have to help me with my discharge procedures?"
The old woman wouldn't allow herself to lose a good deal she had already gotten.
"I am Jiang Qianhui, the wife of the president of the Zhan Group who will pay your medical expenses."
The old man's face turned even more grim when he heard it was Jiang Qianhui.
"You're just a CEO's wife. My medical expenses were agreed upon by the CEO of Zhan Group. What right do you have to unilaterally terminate them?"
"You think there's no other way, right? I'll have someone take care of all the discharge paperwork. Of course, you can also choose not to stay in the hospital."
"I told you, the CEO agreed to let me stay here. Don't do anything to upset the CEO."
The old man was very proud, feeling that his granddaughter had won over Zhan Yanxun.
Jiang Qianhui said coldly, "You can choose to continue living here, but the Zhan Group will no longer reimburse your medical expenses."
The elderly Pang Chunyan bared her teeth and roared, "What right do you have? What qualifications do you have?"
Jiang Qianhui calmly said, "I am the CFO of Zhan Group. You can ask your granddaughter whether I have the authority to terminate your reimbursement."
Pang Chunyan looked at Qiao Weiwei, whose face was also very pale.
After all, her grandmother lives here, and not only are her medical expenses reimbursed, but she also receives additional subsidies.
More importantly, it creates the image of her grandmother being seriously ill in the hospital, a pitiful situation.
Zhan Yanxun only asked her to stay with him out of pity. Given her current situation, if her grandmother is discharged from the hospital, Zhan Yanxun will most likely let her go home and live with her grandmother.
“Mr. Jiang, my grandmother is old and seems very excited right now, but she actually has a mental problem. The doctor is still treating her, so she can't be discharged from the hospital at this time.”
“I will have the doctor assess her. If the doctor says she can be discharged, you should take her home immediately. If you want to stay, you will have to pay for the medical expenses yourself.”
Jiang Qianhui's statement was firm and left no room for doubt.
The old man then changed his expression.
"Mr. Jiang, right? I was wrong just now. I don't think you'll hold this old woman against me. I was just out of my mind."
"You're not even in your right mind, yet you know your granddaughter is going to be the president's wife of a conglomerate? Which conglomerate? The Zhan Group, is it?"
"How could that be? You are the president's wife of the Zhan Group. How could my granddaughter steal your position?"
Jiang Qianhui raised an eyebrow: "Your mind isn't too hard to read!"
The old man's face instantly turned ugly; he realized he had been tricked.
