Chapter 1169: Xiao Yi’s Promise
Under the surprised eyes and dropped jaw of the front desk lady, Xiao Yi walked towards Junyuan.
Seeing Xiao Yi walk towards them with a dark expression, the security officers thought that Xiao Yi was going to scold them for not doing their jobs properly, so they all tried even harder to chase Junyuan away.
Although Junyuan could be discharged already, his right wrist still needed to rest properly for a while before he could use his strength. That was why he could use his left hand to block those security officers.
Xiao Yi scolded expressionlessly. “Stop it!”
The security officers all jumped at the sound. The leader of the security officers stared at Junyuan, ashen as he said, “You’re going to get all of us killed.”
Junyuan pursed his lips tightly, not saying anything.
Xiao Yi walked over to pull away the security officer standing in front of Junyuan. The security officer stumbled, though he didn’t dare say anything when he saw that it was Xiao Yi dragging him to the side.
Just as the security officers thought that Xiao Yi would throw Junyuan out personally, Xiao Yi actually reached his hand out, a small smirk on his lips in a friendly manner, though he looked like he was being extremely careful as well, as he said, “Brother-in-law, you’re here.”
Junyuan furrowed his eyebrows quietly.
Who was his brother-in-law?
The security officers froze. This person was their President Xiao’s Brother-in-law? That meant that he was the older brother of their Boss Lady?
Was President Xiao married? Didn’t they hear that he was still unmarried and didn’t even have a girlfriend?
The leader of the security officers was extremely smart and hurriedly apologized to Junyuan carefully. “I’m really sorry, we didn’t recognize you and didn’t know that you’re President Xiao’s Brother-in-law. I’m really sorry and hope that you can forgive us for offending you.”
Junyuan wasn’t a petty person. The security officers were only doing their duty, so he waved his hand. “It’s nothing, you don’t have to be worried.”
Xiao Yi made a gesture to Junyuan to invite him upstairs. Junyuan nodded and followed Xiao Yi up the elevators.
...
Xiao Yi’s office was at the top level of the the building, the windows clean and bright while the room was decorated in a low-key but luxurious manner.
After Xiao Yi brought Junyuan into his office, he sat on the sofa to make tea personally.
Junyuan never thought that Xiao Yi’s attitude would be so good. However, he understood very quickly what he wanted, this person was still thinking of his Yanran.
“Brother-in-law, I wanted to go to the hospital to visit you, but since I got into a fight with Yanran recently, I planned to visit you after we reconciled.”
Xiao Yi placed a cup of tea in front of Junyuan.
Junyuan took the tea and tok a small sip. He didn’t plan to go in circles with Xiao Yi. “You were with Yanran last night?”
Xiao Yi was extremely honest and nodded. “She drank too much.”
Junyuan placed the teacup on the table. “And you can take advantage of her because she drank too much?”
To be honest, Xiao Yi had never been so nervous and polite before. He had lost his family since young and was used to being wild and manner-less. When faced with Junyuan’s questions, cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he stared at Junyuan with slightly appeasing eyes. “To be honest, I never planned to give up on Yanran. However, because she tends to give up easily when she meets with a problem, I wanted to change this habit of hers. That was why I gave her the cold-shoulder.”
Junyuan stared at Xiao Yi. “Are you clear about her body condition?”
Xiao Yi nodded.
“Are you still willing to spend the rest of your life with her even if she cannot give you any children?”
“Naturally.”
Xiao Yi answering without any hesitation made the small unhappiness Junyuan had towards the man dissipate slightly.
Xiao Yi was once from the triad and saw kinship as the most important to him. He wouldn’t make up stories to lie and humor him, so when he agreed, it would definitely be true.
Junyuan doted on his two younger sisters the most. Since Xiao Yi was willing to be good to Yanran, he felt a lot more at ease.
“Yanran isn’t infertile by birth...” Junyuan explained the situation of Xia Yanran’s previous checkup at the hospital. “She had been taking medicine recently. I told her to go do a checkup at Royal Hospital once more two days ago, but the results aren’t very good. Although she didn’t say it, I know she still wants children.”
After finding out that Xia Yanran was infertile because she had taken some medication that affected her hormones, Xiao Yi’s mind couldn’t help but recall the words Yi Ran had said to him.
When he heard Yi Ran say those things in the jail, he only thought that she was being crazy and was hallucinating already.
But from how it is now, was Yi Ran’s infertility related to Yi Ran?
Xiao Yi looked down, cold darkness flashing in his eyes.
“Xiao Yi, I hope you can remember what I said today. Please be good to Yanran in the future. If not, I’ll never let you off, even if I have to use my life!”
“Please be assured, Brother-in-law.” Xiao Yi stared at Junyuan, his expression serious and stern. “I will treat her well. However, before we reconcile, I hope that Brother-in-law can give me the power to deal with our relationship. I’m doing this for Yanran and for our future.”
Junyuan naturally wouldn’t interfere in their relationship. Just with Xiao Yi willing to retire from the triad for Yanran, Junyuan already respected him for it.
Junyuan got up, ready to leave.
Xiao Yi sent him down personally and arranged for a driver to send him back to the hospital.
Before Junyuan got into the car, Xiao Yi said with a smile, “Brother-in-law, I have some ties with the Huo family, I’ll say good things for you.”
Junyuan froze.
Their roles suddenly switched around and now, it was Junyuan’s turn to be polite to Xiao Yi.
Junyuan’s expression was slightly stiff. “Thank you.”
“Brother-in-law doesn’t have to be so polite.”
Junyuan clenched his left hand, placing it by his mouth as he coughed softly. “You haven’t gotten married to Yanran, you don’t have to call me Brother-in-law.”
Xiao Yi smirked. “I’m practicing it first.”
Junyuan was speechless. Alright, he had underestimated how shameless Xiao Yi could be.
...
After Xiao Yi watched Junyuan leave in the car, he went back to his office.
As he sat in front of his table, he checked the statues of the hospitals in Ning City, before he made two calls out.
After the calls, Xiao Yi called his assistant over.
“From what I know, the Head of Renxin Hospital has some financial troubles recently. Think of a way to buy Renxin Hospital over.”
The assistant stared at Xiao Yi with slight surprise.
Wasn’t the wealth and assets the Old Madam left enough? President Xiao wanted to go into the medical industry too?
Xiao Yi saw through the assistant’s confusion, and he leaned back into his leather chair. “I’m giving it to my Brother-in-law. He’s a really capable surgeon, but it’s a pity that he hasn’t been able to meet a good leader. I want to give him a hospital so that he can make his own decisions so that he can help even more people in the future.”
The assistant stared at her boss who seemed extremely proud when he mentioned his brother-in-law’s medical skills, thinking that President Xiao was definitely a fan of his brother-in-law.
Xiao Yi narrowed his depthless eyes. “Any more questions?”
“No, no, I’ll go do it right now.” The assistant took a few steps back before she turned back to look at Xiao Yi. “That’s right, President Xiao, the Duke called and asked if you’re free tomorrow. He wants to have a meal with you.”
Xiao Yi remained silent for a few seconds, before he nodded and agreed. “Yes.”
The assistant froze again. Didn’t the Duke ask President Xiao for a meal because he wanted to introduce his youngest daughter, Zhen Mi to him? Didn’t President Xiao say that he had a girlfriend and wanted to give his brother-in-law a hospital just now? Then why did he accept the invitation?
