My Dangerous Billionaire Husband
Chapter 396
Zhou Zhilei was thinking, and Zhou Heng ended his conversation with the butler and sat back down beside her.
"Zhilei, what do you want to say?"
Zhou Zhilei was frightened. She was afraid that he would ask about the registration, and she immediately lied. "Nothing. Grandpa, what are you trying to say?"
Zhou Heng grunted and threw the documents in his hands onto her lap. "Zhilei, have a look at it yourself. Ning Qing's special red wine brand, Yi Fan, has been gaining much fanfare and attention online. Why did you not handle it? We are businessmen. We have to prioritize profits first and foremost, Ning Qing is a golden signboard in the entertainment industry. She is able to bring attention to anything just by using her name. If she comes to participate in the red wine competition, do you know how much our red wine competition benefit? Why did you not allow her to participate in the red wine competition? Don't ever tell me that you are trying to be fair inside your heart!"
The word "fair" was what she had said to Ning Qing at the main hall of Zhou Corporation that day, and she did not expect that her words would be passed into his ears.
Zhou Zhilei pinched her own thigh harshly. The tears in her eyes flowed out as she turned her head sideways and spoke with tears streaming down her face as she looked at Zhou Heng. She choked up as she said, "Grandpa, I know you are angry. All of this is my mistake; I admit to that. But Grandpa, do you only bother solely about profit making in your heart? You are unable to see my struggles and my pain. Could you actually not know what kind of person Ning Qing is?"
Zhou Heng looked at Zhou Zhilei cry. The stern expression in his eyes slowly turned gentle, and he stoically said, "Zhilei, Grandpa knows the difficulties that you went through, but Shaoming, he…doesn't love you. You are too obsessed with him, and you went on the wrong path all by yourself. I met that girl Ning Qing a few months ago. In my entire lifetime, I have seen through people very clearly. That girl is pure and innocent in character. She is kind. Maybe Shaoming is attracted to those qualities of hers.
"Zhilei, haven't you suffered enough? Let it go. Let go of others, and also let go of yourself."
Zhou Zhilei laughed coldly inside her heart. She needed him to school her right now?
"Grandpa." Zhou Zhilei shed more tears. "You say it like this, but when I look at Ning Qing, my body feels uncomfortable. I feel that I am breathless, so I did not allow her to participate in the red wine competition, and I did not allow her to appear before me."
As she spoke, Zhou Zhilei tugged Zhou Heng's sleeve. "Grandpa, in my heart, you have always been my biological grandfather, can't you pamper me a little more?"
Zhou Heng sighed and shook his head while he said, "These are two separate matters. We cannot let the matter involving Yi Fan to go on like this. Otherwise, the reputation of Zhou Corporation would be jeopardized. Furthermore, James is a guarantor; Ning Qing has to participate in the red wine competition.
It was not until now that Zhou Heng knew of Ning Qing's identity. It turned out that she was Lu Shaoming's wife.
Zhou Zhilei did not understand. He had always treated her like his own biological granddaughter in his heart. Because of her marriage, he had also mentioned it to Lu Shaoming before.
But Lu Shaoming shook his head, saying that he was unwilling.
In the end, Lu Shaoming got married and had a wife. There was once when they met in America. Lu Shaoming was no longer the cold and arrogant person that he remembered him as. Lu Shaoming would smile, and there was a blissful and loving gaze in his expressions.
What was love?
Love was to be able to see another person's shadow in a person's eyes.
Lu Shaoming loved Ning Qing.
That young girl Ning Qing, he would also not judge her incorrectly. In the airport, she did not mention a single word about Zhilei making things difficult for her, not because of anything. It was just like her not addressing him as "Grandpa" anymore. Because Ning Qing understood that he was Zhou Zhilei's grandfather, what was the point of her mentioning all this?
That young girl was professional and also extremely intelligent.
No wonder she could have such great returns in the complicated entertainment industry.
Zhou Zhilei snorted. She shook Zhou Heng's sleeve off and stretched her hand out to wipe her tears, looking pitiful as she said, "Grandpa, getting to the core of the matter, you don't even pamper me at all. I know I am not your biological granddaughter, you are more willing to protect Ning Qing than help me."
Zhou Heng moved his lips. There was a touch of fatigue on his elderly face. He stretched his hand out to take a few tissues and handed them over to Zhou Zhilei. "Zhilei, there is no room for negotiation in the matter regarding Ning Qing, but…I will hand over the red competition for you to organize."
Zhou Zhilei stopped crying immediately. She turned her gaze sideways to look at Zhou Heng. She was full of surprise as she said, "Grandpa, what did you say? You are handing the red wine competition over to me to handle?"
Zhou Heng nodded his head. "Zhilei, you are the only successor of the Zhou family. The Zhou family winery would need to be placed into your hands one day… It is not that Grandpa doesn't want to hand the winery over to you, but your character still needs to be trained. You are still very lacking when you handle matters…"
Zhou Zhilei did not have the patience to listen to Zhou Heng's lecture. She stretched her arm out to hug Zhou Heng. "Grandpa, this is great news, thank you. I will definitely not disappoint you this time around."
Zhou Heng looked at her arrogant and happy behaviour, and his heart felt cold and anxious.
Zhou Zhilei was not a good successor. Handing the Zhou family winery to her would definitely see the winery end up in shambles. He was clear about that in his heart.
Only, if he did not hand the winery over to her, who else could he hand it over to?
Zhou Heng turned sideways to look outside the window. Dou Dou….
Where was his Dou Dou?
…
Zhou Zhilei got out of the luxury car. She stood at the side of the road to wave her hand towards Zhou Heng. The luxury car drove away, and she snorted loudly before turning around to leave.
She took her phone out to make a call.
"Hello, find out where Ning Qing is… I want to see what she has up her sleeve at my red wine competition…
"What, that old lady in our house still called the number that Ning Qing left behind? Haha, let her give up then. She won't be able to get through. I changed the 1 on it to a 7…
"That's right, how will Ning Qing fight me? I am the young miss of the Zhou family, the granddaughter of Zhou Heng. It would not work no matter how hard she tries."
…
After successfully getting to participate in the red wine competition, Ning Qing started to lock herself up and concentrated on brewing wine.
There was a day that she felt that she had to relax for a bit, so she called Jian Han.
"Hello, Older Sister Jian, are you free tonight? Shall we go and have a drink?"
Jian Han on the other end was in the office in the hospital. It was about time to get off work, and she stood at the sink to wash her hands.
Upon hearing Ning Qing's words, she hesitated for a while. "…Ning Qing, I am unavailable… I have a date tonight…"
"You have a date? Older Sister Jian, is it Older Brother Dayuan?" Ning Qing covered her mouth and laughed sneakily before saying, "Sure, I am not going to be a third party then. I wish for Older Sister Jian and Older Brother Dayuan to have a good time tonight."
Ning Qing hung up the phone.
Jian Han placed her phone back in her pocket. Her face was a little hot. She turned the tap off as she lifted her gaze up to look at the mirror. The woman in the mirror has been blushing for a while.
She turned around to remove the white lab coat she was wearing before she came to the closet. She opened the door of the closet and took a set of clothing to go into the room to change.
After she was done changing, Jian Han stood before the mirror of the sink again.She was dressed in a tight green sleeveless dress. The collar of the dress was adorned with black crystals, exposing both of her slim and fair limbs. She was tall and lanky. Her figure was good. She was not voluptuous, but she had a lithe S figure.
Jian Han looked at herself. She let her locks down, tucked the strands of hair behind her ears, and put a pair of earrings on her snow-white earlobes.
The lights in the office shone down on her, and it made her look especially mesmerizing under the light.
A woman her age, she just received the tenderness of love. Her aura and behaviour now could be compared to someone in Ning Qing's age bracket.
At this moment, a melodious ringtone rang out in the air. Jian Han's phone started to ring.
She looked at the number calling her, and the corners of her lips curled up into a sweet smile.
"Hello, Dayuan…Yeah, I am done with work already. I am preparing to set off…You are already downstairs? Okay, I will be there in a moment…"
Jian Han hung up and put on a long cream-white windbreaker. She took her bag, opened the door, and walked out.
…
It was time to get off work now. When she walked along the corridor, she could not help but meet with many doctors and nurses. Everyone greeted her, "Doctor Jian…"
Jian Han nodded and greeted them back.
There were a few nurses who could not help but turn around to look at Jian Han's back profile. The windbreaker ended above her kneecaps. She had the intention to cover it up, and they could not see the green dress she was wearing underneath, but her long legs that resembled a young model's on the catwalk had long attracted everyone's gazes.
"Wow, Doctor Jian is normally dressed in a white coat. I couldn't even tell that Doctor Jian is so voluptuous. Tsk tsk, her legs are so beautiful, and the moment anyone looks at them, they would want to touch them…"
"Did you notice that Doctor Jian has been in a good mood recently? I noticed that she was smiling towards her phone a few times… Furthermore, Doctor Jian is getting more and more pretty, just as if she's moisturized by the seasonal rains…"
"I guess that Doctor Jian must have a man… Let me tell you all secretly, one of my male best friends said that a woman with a cold and pure personality like Doctor Jian, she is the most exciting in bed…."
Jian Han could not hear the conversation between them. She walked into the elevator, and when she passed by the hall of the treatment building, she noticed a group of people in the middle of an argument.
It was probably the family member of a patient who was unsatisfied with the service attitude of the doctor. He rushed forward and wanted to give the doctor a pinch, and everyone was trying to stop him from doing so.
This situation also made Jian Han stop in her tracks. The scene was chaotic, and the patient who was the subject of it all tried to persuade him otherwise, but it was of no use, and he was pushed aside instead.
Jian Han quickly bent down to support the patient who was on the brink of falling to the ground. With care, she asked, "Uncle, are you fine?"
The Grandpa cupped his chest with his right hand. His breathing suddenly accelerated. "…I feel horrible…"
Jian Han noticed that the patient's irises were not in focus. His symptoms were not looking good, and she raised her volume immediately as she said, "All of you, stop fighting. The patient is having difficulty breathing. If we continue to delay and don't save him, he will go into shock…"
The patient's family member heard her words and let go of the doctor immediately. "Father, Father, what is wrong?" As he spoke, the family member pointed at Jian Han with his hand. He was glaring at her angrily, as if he had lost his senses completely. "My father was all fine just now. When you helped him for a moment, he was unable to breathe. What did you do to my father?"
Jian Han, "I…"
"I understand what is going on. Your hospital is out to scam others. If my dad ends up with any injury, I will die together with all of you. " As he spoke, the patient's family member snatched a wooden stick that was placed on the side of the wall, he lifted his hand up and started to swing it in the direction of Jian Han's head.
Jian Han's pupils contracted. She was already unable to stop it. She could only turn sideways to protect the patient beside her, and she shut her eyes to wait for the pain.
But she did not feel any pain. The wooden stick did not land on her.
A gentle voice rang out in her ears. "Trying to create chaos in the hospital, I think you want to go to prison."
Jian Han was delighted inside her heart. She opened her eyes quickly and turned her head sideways to have a look. When she lowered her gaze, the first thing that came into her line of sight was a pair of dark coloured pants. As she followed the neatly pressed lines on the pants to look upwards, she saw a dark blue shirt and a refined and handsome face; Zhou Dayuan was here.
He stretched his right hand to block that wooden stick, protecting her and preventing her from getting hurt.
The patient's family member looked at this intruder and froze for a moment. This man looked pure and refined, but there was a clear and crisp scent on his body that was just like disinfectant. He did not get angry, but the cold expression on his face alone was able to make the patient's family member cower in fear.
