Chapter 59 - You drank too much!
The story starts in Chapter 59 of "Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor": A hint of mockery appeared on Xia Chenyuâs face as she continued, âPerhaps out of... Donât miss it!
A hint of mockery appeared on Xia Chenyuâs face as she continued, âPerhaps out of guilt, that man secretly gave my mother some money and rented an apartment for her to live in, occasionally visiting her.
Later, my mother gave birth to meâŚâ
âIf life had just gone on like that, my mother wouldnât have had too many complaints.
But who would have thought that on the day of my full-month celebration, some members from that manâs family suddenly showed up, including his wife.â
âThey said a lot of ugly things to my mother.
The most detestable was that man, who not only expelled us mother and daughter from that apartment in front of his family but also swore to cut off all ties with us henceforth.â
âMy motherâs heart was completely shattered by that man, and she decided to leave that sad and despairing city with me that very day.
Eventually, we settled in Zhongzhou City, where my mother used some funds she had saved up to start the âBeauty Company,â raising me as I grew upâŚâ
âSince I could understand things, I rarely saw a smile on my motherâs face; she mostly looked worried and gloomy.
When I was twenty, her body, worn down by her emotional strain, finally gave out, and she passed away not long after.â
Two lines of tears slowly streamed down Xia Chenyuâs cheeks as she went on, âOn the night before my mother passed, tears filled her eyes, and she kept softly calling for that manâs name.
I knew she still loved him, how she wished he would come to see her, to meet her one last time.â
âAt that time, I thought to myself that if that man had come to see my mother, maybe I could have forgiven him for all those years of abandoning us, but he never showed up until my mother was buried.â
Xia Chenyu clenched her fists tightly, her eyes full of hatred, âFrom then on, I completely hated that man and everyone from his familyâŚ
Even though he later secretly helped us, my hatred for him did not lessen by the slightest.â
âNow that man has become the Family Head of his clan, powerful and influential.
One day, he suddenly found me and wanted to acknowledge me as his daughterâŚ
Hah, he expects me to marry into âRejuvenation Hallâ to benefit his familyâs interests.
What a clever scheme he played!â
Having said this, Xia Chenyu wiped away her tears, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and gulped it down, then chuckled to Fang Bai, âYou must have guessed already, right?
Yes, that heartless man is Shen Huanianâs father, Shen Dongyang.
And Shen Huanian and I, we are half-siblings sharing the same father.â
Fang Bai sighed and said, âShen Dongyang wronged you and your mother, no wonder you hate him!
To be honest, a man without affection or responsibility, I have no respect for him either!â
Xia Chenyu spoke, âDo you know, Fang Bai, when my mother founded the âBeauty Company,â her goal was to make it a top enterprise in Huaxiaâs beauty industry, even surpassing the Shen Familyâs âBelle Group,â to show Shen Dongyang how wrong he was for abandoning my mother, for his lack of vision.â
âAfter my motherâs death, I wanted to fulfill this wish for her.
I also wanted to show Shen Dongyang that without the pity of the Shen Family, I, Xia Chenyu, could still live prosperouslyâŚâ
Before Fang Bai could speak, she laughed mockingly at herself and continued, âThe âBelle Groupâ is the leader of the beauty industry in Huaxia.
Itâs too hard to topple them!
Moreover, the Shen Family and âRejuvenation Hallâ have years of business cooperation.
Many secret formulas for beauty products launched by the âBelle Groupâ are supplied by âRejuvenation Hallâ.
With the support of âRejuvenation Hall,â the status of the âBelle Groupâ in Huaxiaâs beauty industry is hard to shakeâŚâ
As she said this, she sighed helplessly, poured herself another glass of wine, and unsteadily picked it up to drink.
Her cheeks grew redder, her drunkenness more intense, and her gaze more blurred, as if she might collapse onto the table in a drunken stupor at any moment.
Fang Bai whispered, âSister Xia, youâve drunk too much!â
Xia Chenyu didnât pay attention to him, and continued to say, âBut I just canât accept it!
I feel a surge of anger inside me and I just want to compete with âBelle Groupâ.â
âFor the development of the company, as the CEO, I have to put myself out there, make connections, build relationships, and attend one banquet after anotherâŚ
Perhaps because I was born with a pretty face, there are always people with ulterior motives who want to get me drunk at the dining table and take advantage of me.
If I hadnât been so vigilant, I would have been devoured, skin and bonesâŚâ
Fang Bai said, âSister Xia, youâre a CEO after all; you should have some bodyguards with you.
Even just having an assistant or secretary would be something!
For a womanâŚ
especially a beautiful woman to attend a banquet alone, itâs too dangerous.
Like last night, if I hadnât happened to come by, you would have been in real danger.â
âLast night I was hosting a banquet at Tiangong Grand Hotel for Liu Yuanlong, Zhongzhouâs real estate tycoon.
The Liu Family owns several large shopping malls in Zhongzhou, and I wanted to distribute a portion of our companyâs upcoming beauty products there.â
âLiu Yuanlong agreed very readily at the time, but unexpectedly, while I wasnât paying attention, he drugged my drinkâŚ
If I hadnât felt that something was off and quickly run out of the hotel, and then encountered you outside the hotel, I probably would have already been violated by that beastâŚâ
âLiu YuanlongâŚâ
Fang Bai felt the name sounded familiar; after thinking carefully, he remembered who it was.
Liu Yuanlong was Liu Yichenâs father, a renowned real estate tycoon in Zhongzhou City with a fortune worth hundreds of millions.
Although he couldnât compare to the Prominent Clans like the Su Family of Zhongzhou, he was still a big name among Zhongzhouâs elite.
And that guy, Liu Yichen, had not only stolen the bodyâs original ownerâs girlfriend at Zhongzhou Medical College but also provoked me both openly and covertly on two occasions, ending up with a big loss at my hands.
The two of us had undoubtedly become enemies.
The son bullied boys and dominated girls at the medical college, and the father drugged people in hotels; one was a spoiled brat, and the other a lecherous old man.
This father and son were indeed of the same ilk!
âI did think about hiring bodyguards, but hiring bodyguards costs a lot of money!
And almost all the money I have is invested in the research and development of the companyâs new beauty productsâŚâ
Xia Chenyu clasped her hands together and prayed to the heavens: âMay the gods bless us, I hope our beauty products that will be launched soon can be an instant hit and achieve great success.
OtherwiseâŚ
âBeauty Companyâ might fall into a dire situation, and my grand ambitions will dissipate in the windâŚ
Hah, by then, I wonder how the Shen Family people will mock me againâŚâ
âWhere thereâs a will, thereâs a way.
Sister Xia, I believe you will definitely succeed!â á´ĘÉŞs á´Ęá´á´á´á´Ę ÉŞs á´á´á´ á´á´á´ ĘĘ É´ová´l(F)ÉŞre.É´et
âAlright!
For that remark, I have to drink with you!â
With a âgiggle,â Xia Chenyu picked up her glass, clinked it with Fang Baiâs, and then they both drained their glasses in one go.
