“By the way,” he said into the phone, “I can’t pay off the bank loan for you this month. Think of a way.”
Jiang Suiheng found it hard to accept. “Why??”
Jiang Chu said matter-of-factly, “my best friend is giving birth to a child. I have to save it for the baby.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone calmly and walked back to the corridor, not caring about how his father was roaring on the other end of the phone.
Outside the double doors of the delivery room, there was a cute peace sign hanging on each side.
There were even crooked words written inside the Peace Blessing.
The one on the left was Pei Xingxing’s request, “I wish Ms. Su Ji a smooth delivery. Xingxing won’t eat lollipops for a year.”
The one on the right was something Si Jingbin had begged him to do, “I hope little brother will be more careful and come out soon so that he won’t bother Ms. Su Ji anymore!”
Doctor Gu’s work call suddenly stopped after a few rounds. Everyone outside held their breaths.
Time ticked by.
Pei Huai’s eyes seemed to contain thousands of stars.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
He did not know how many seconds he had counted, but suddenly, the most beautiful baby cry came from the ward.
At the same time, in Deer City.
On Xu Mingzhi’s side.
Director Xu personally drove the car towards the east side of Deer City.
She asked Wei Wei to prepare the car for her in advance.
Because the place they were going to was quite special, it was most convenient to drive personally.
When she received the news that her daughter had entered the delivery room, she was already halfway there. Her mood at that time was indescribable. The stone that had been hanging in her heart for days was finally lifted. She was excited and touched. The car stopped at the intersection, and her bright laughter attracted the drivers on both sides to look at her.
At the same time, she was also anxious. She wanted to go back and guard her daughter’s delivery room immediately.
Finally, she looked at the navigation and saw that there was only half of the journey left. She held back.
She wondered if today’s smooth sailing had anything to do with her sincere visit to a certain someone.
Today, she had put aside all her work and came personally to pray for her daughter.
Therefore, she decided to continue with her original plan.
As long as her daughter was treated well, she wouldn’t care even if she was tricked by the huckster. Moreover, she knew that the person was not a huckster.
Bian Guanshi’s branch in the eastern part of Deer City had just opened. Xu Mingzhi reversed the car into the parking lot on the side and got out of the car. She looked up at the antique commercial building in front of her.
In the inner hall, on the mahogany table, the delicate smoke of handmade sandalwood rose through the gaps of the incense burner and was inhaled into the nose, soothing and refreshing.
The layout was exactly the same as that of the branch hall in the west city, as if it was copied and pasted.
There was a similar ancient building every few dozen kilometers. There were not many customers on weekdays, but the ones who came were the best. They did not open for business for ten years, but once they opened, they would have a decade of business.
For example, the branch opened today was all thanks to Master Pei’s generous gift.
As Bian Guanshi’s branch gradually expanded, antique houses like this one soon became a unique feature of Deer City.
Xu Mingzhi didn’t know if it was the wrong time or something, but the branch hall in front of her was quiet and there was not a single customer.
At the same time she stepped through the door, Grandmaster, who was resting on the rocking chair on the second floor, slowly opened his eyes.
Compared to the time when Pei Huai and Bian Tong came together, his eyes seemed to be even more turbid. The color of his eyes was even lighter, silver-gray, as if they were covered in a layer of fog.
The little disciple who was fanning stopped. “Master, is it because I didn’t use enough strength?”
Bian Guanshi’s eyes were not focused. He seemed to be in a state of emptiness. He sighed. “My disciple, we have a big client today.”
The little disciple was even more confused. “Master, isn’t it a good thing to have clients? Why are you sighing?”
Bian Guanshi lazily got up from the rocking chair. “It’s true that she’s rich, but her money is not easy to earn…”
Footsteps came from upstairs. Xu Mingzhi looked up.
A moment later, Xu Mingzhi and Bian Guanshi sat opposite each other on both ends of the long rosewood table.
“My disciple,” Bian Guanshi stroked his beard and said, “serve some tea to Madam Xu.”
The little disciple answered crisply, “yes, Master.”
Xu Mingzhi paused slightly.
She had not introduced herself since she came here.
She rested her arm on the edge of the table and held her phone between her fingers. “It seems like you know why I’m here, Old Mr. Bian.”
