After the divorce, the ex-wife remarried the world's richest man
Chapter 76 Why did Mr. Huo help Shengxia?
He once thought that Shengxia and Ji Wenxuan were a couple, and he sincerely wished them well.
Now that he knew that everything was so unbearable, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Shengxia.
But this is the doctor's family affair after all, and he can't use it to punish anyone.
Even so, Ji Wenxuan felt uncomfortable enough.
He returned home in a daze. It would have been fine if he was restless at work, but he still had no peace when he got home.
Mother Ji was resentful of Yun Lan because of Old Lady Ji's current situation, and she mocked him openly and secretly every day. Yun Lan couldn't stand it and naturally argued with her, so the two of them could easily start a quarrel.
It would be fine if they just had a quarrel, but the key point is that after the quarrel, Yun Lan still felt aggrieved and always pulled Ji Wenxuan to complain again.
So Ji Wenxuan always had to patiently coax her for a long time, which was really exhausting.
Although Father Ji also felt sorry for Old Lady Ji, he couldn't care less at the moment because the problems of the Ji family's company were imminent. If no partners came in, the Ji family would probably declare bankruptcy soon.
By then, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay for Old Lady Ji's medical expenses...
Yunlan has helped to think of a solution, and Ji Wenxuan has also helped to contact some customers, but there has not been much success and the company is still suffering daily losses.
However, there is always a way out, and Ji's father really found a perfect opportunity.
After dinner that day, Ji's father took Ji Wenxuan to the study.
"Dad, is there something happening in the company again?" Ji Wenxuan felt a splitting headache.
Moreover, he has not yet told his family about having to pay back more than 10 million yuan to Shengxia.
Nothing has been going well for the Ji family recently, really.
Father Ji's eyes were shining, "Wenxuan, there is a good way to help the Ji family overcome the difficulties."
Ji Wenxuan was stunned. No way? Finally, there is good news?
He said anxiously: "Dad, tell me quickly!"
Father Ji was in high spirits. "I heard that Shengshi Capital is currently active in North City, looking for investment projects. If we can get investment from Shengshi Capital, then the current predicament will not be a problem at all and can be easily solved."
"Shengshi Capital?" Ji Wenxuan exclaimed, "The most powerful investment company in the country?"
Almost everyone who has a business at home has heard of the name of Shengshi Capital!
Their company has strong capital strength and unique vision. All projects they invest in have never failed and all of them have become emerging newcomers in the industry.
If the Ji family’s company could get investment from Shengshi Capital, it would not only be able to overcome its current predicament, but would also be able to move directly to a higher level!
Father Ji's eyes were filled with joy. "Yes, I heard that Mr. Lin, the head of Shengshi Capital, is coming to North City to attend a charity dinner. If we can make friends with Mr. Lin and convince him to invest in Ji's company, then our Ji family will be prosperous."
For a moment, Ji Wenxuan also felt extremely excited, as if the investment of tens of millions or hundreds of millions was already within their reach!
Father Ji said, "Wenxuan, I plan to let you go on this rare opportunity to make friends."
Ji Wenxuan was suspicious, "Let me go? But I don't know as much about the company's business as you do, Dad?"
Father Ji shook his head. "You don't understand. I've asked around. Shengshi Capital is very keen on supporting young people in starting their own businesses. If you go, you'll have better luck."
"Moreover, many of the companies invested by Shengshi Capital are pharmaceutical-related companies. Our Ji family has a great advantage in this regard. And you are a doctor, which is an advantage in itself."
Ji Wenxuan understood after hearing this. In this case, he would indeed have a greater chance of winning.
Father Ji continued, "I used a lot of my connections and finally got two invitations to the charity dinner. You and Yun Lan will go together. We must take down Shengshi Capital no matter what!"
Ji Wenxuan nodded confidently, "Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely work hard."
After he finished speaking, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Dad, can we still get 12 million in our family account?"
When Ji Wen heard the amount, he almost spit out the tea he had just drunk.
"Twelve million? If I had twelve million, would I still be worried about the current predicament of our company?"
Not to mention more than 10 million, if the problems of the Ji family company cannot be resolved, old lady Ji will not be able to afford the medical expenses next month!
Ji Wenxuan also guessed this in his heart, but he was just unwilling to ask.
Father Ji was suspicious, "What do you want 10 million for?"
"Isn't it Shengxia? It was written in the divorce agreement that I needed to pay her more than 10 million yuan."
Ji Wenxuan had no choice but to tell him what happened today.
"I didn't care about Shengxia at first, but when Mr. Huo said that, I started to worry."
Father Ji didn't care. "Mr. Huo is so busy every day, how could he care about such a thing? I guess he just said it casually, just for face."
Ji Wenxuan certainly hopes so.
Father Ji was puzzled, "But why did Mr. Huo help Sheng Xia?"
Ji Wenxuan had no choice but to tell the story of how Shengxia saved Huo Tingxiao's grandfather.
Father Ji was stunned when he heard this. "So, Shengxia actually knows medicine?"
"That's not the case." Ji Wenxuan denied it immediately.
"The person who actually performed the surgery was actually Director Qi of Hua'an Hospital. Shengxia was just given a title."
Father Ji felt a little sorry after hearing this. "I was thinking, if she is really that good at medicine, she should come and see your grandma..."
Thinking of Old Mrs. Ji in the intensive care unit with tubes inserted all over her body, Mr. Ji felt very uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Ji Wenxuan felt depressed.
He murmured, "Dad, I just found out that Shengxia has a good relationship with the director of Hua'an Hospital. I was able to work at Hua'an Hospital because of Shengxia's help."
Father Ji was also stunned when he heard this, but then he thought that it was actually reasonable.
After all, the Sheng family has such a wide network of contacts, it's not surprising that Sheng Xia knows everyone.
Thinking of the good things that Shengxia had done to him, Father Ji couldn't help but sigh, "In fact, Shengxia was a great kid to our family. When she was with us, our family life was thriving. Who in North City wouldn't be envious of her..."
"Alas, if you didn't insist on marrying Yunlan, actually..."
"Dad." Ji Wenxuan became unhappy immediately when he heard his father say this.
"Dad, Yunlan is also very good. Didn't she also help you solve the problem of the batch of masks in the company? Moreover, Yunlan is thousands of times better than Shengxia in terms of education and ability. Right now, it's Shengxia who is making trouble. Once this period is over, our family will definitely be better than before."
Ji Wenxuan spoke truthfully, his face full of confidence.
It seemed like he was giving Ji's father confidence, but it also seemed like he was talking to himself.
For a moment, even he himself couldn't tell the difference.
The charity dinner was held in the banquet hall on the top floor of the North City Yunji Hotel.
This dinner was hosted by the Huo family, so people from all walks of life in North City wanted to come and show their support, but unfortunately not everyone had the opportunity to do so.
Because the invitation to the Huo family's charity dinner is very rare, ordinary wealthy people can't get it at all. Those who can be invited to participate are definitely the top wealthy families in North City, or people of very prominent status, either rich or noble.
Precisely because the people present are all of high status, many people are scrambling to get an invitation letter so that they can come in and make some connections.
The Ji family was one of these people. I don’t know what method Ji’s father used, but he actually got two invitations to the charity dinner.
Shengxia didn't expect that on the day of the Huo family charity dinner, Huo Tingxiao would come to pick her up in person again.
"Don't you need to entertain the guests at the dinner tonight? Will it take up your time to pick me up?" Shengxia was very puzzled when she saw that the person getting off the car was Huo Tingxiao.
Today she wore the evening dress that Huo Tingxiao sent her. It was a silver-white fishtail dress with tulle embellished on the shoulders, making her collarbone faintly visible. The neckline and skirt were inlaid with diamonds and feathers, exuding low-key luxury from head to toe.
Shengxia curled her originally long straight black hair into big waves, which hung down on her smooth and white back like seaweed. The visual contrast between black and white was highlighted to the extreme at this moment, making her indescribably charming and sexy at first glance.
Although Shengxia's facial features are extremely beautiful and charming, her face is also pure. She is like a collision of an angel and a devil, making people unable to stop after just one look.
Huo Tingxiao was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that he did not respond to her words, but his eyes seemed to be fixed on her, Shengxia could not help but stretch out her hand and wave it in front of his eyes.
"Are you looking at me?" Shengxia asked, unable to help but let a smile break out on her lips.
Huo Tingxiao gradually came back to his senses, but was once again intoxicated by her bright smile, and felt that the air in the whole world was sweet.
This smile is almost exactly the same as the smile in the photo...
Huo Tingxiao stared at Shengxia and said, "Yes."
Such a frank admission made Shengxia at a loss for a moment.
She originally just wanted to tease Huo Tingxiao, but when he admitted it, she suddenly didn't know how to continue.
Especially Huo Tingxiao's scorching gaze, the temperature seemed to be transmitted through the air, making people's cheeks feel hot out of nowhere.
"Then...let's go."
Shengxia avoided his gaze and walked towards the co-pilot seat.
"Wait a moment." She was about to leave when Huo Tingxiao suddenly stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Sheng Xia looked back in confusion, and saw Huo Tingxiao suddenly stretched out his hand and touched her cheek directly...
Shengxia's heart tightened and she subconsciously wanted to dodge.
Huo Tingxiao's low voice suddenly sounded above her head——
"There's a flower in your hair."
Shengxia was stunned and resisted the urge to move. Then she saw Huo Tingxiao's hand passed over her face and went towards her head.
His fingers gently glided through her hair. Perhaps because they were too close to each other, Shengxia suddenly felt that the frequency of her heartbeat seemed wrong.
A feeling of being at a loss suddenly emerged in her heart...
Huo Tingxiao seemed to have a light woody fragrance, which made people feel indescribably comfortable when they smelled it...
Slowly, Huo Tingxiao carefully took a small crabapple flower from Shengxia's hair.
Pink and very cute.
He took it in his hand and said, "Look."
Shengxia looked up and saw a small pink flower in Huo Tingxiao's big hand, looking extremely delicate.
She laughed, "The crabapple blossoms in the yard are blooming, and I didn't notice it falling on my head."
"It looks very good." Huo Tingxiao's eyes were a little blurry.
It seems like looking at flowers, and also like looking at people.
Shengxia smiled and walked towards the passenger seat.
Huo Tingxiao looked at the small flower in his hand and put it carefully into his suit pocket.
"Your family has a charity dinner today. Aren't you busy? And you have to come pick me up in person."
"Not busy, I'm always free to pick you up."
Shengxia glanced at him sideways, always feeling that what he said seemed to be full of deep meaning?
But looking at Huo Tingxiao's righteous look, it seemed like... I was overthinking?
Shengxia felt relieved immediately, probably because he had saved his grandfather.
Shengxia, who was relieved, didn't notice that Huo Tingxiao had been secretly glancing at her.
After seeing Shengxia looking at the scenery outside the window with relief in her eyes, Huo Tingxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He listened to Shi Yi's advice, which said that when pursuing a girl, one must not be too subtle and should express one's feelings appropriately.
So...he took the risk today and said those...true words.
God knows how much he was afraid of arousing Shengxia's disgust.
Because Shengxia is divorced, she must be very averse to men and marriage at this moment, so Huo Tingxiao is really afraid that he will scare her away by accident...
But it seems okay for now. Shi Yi is not completely useless. At least the two ideas he came up with regarding Shengxia’s problem are good.
Huo Tingxiao pondered over it, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
Ever since he met Shengxia, Huo Tingxiao has fallen in love with driving himself.
He found that it was indescribably romantic and beautiful for a man to drive a car with his beloved daughter sitting in the passenger seat, enjoying the scenery along the way.
Shengxia is not a talkative person, and Huo Tingxiao is even less so.
The two people will not try hard to find topics to chat and break the so-called "social awkwardness" because they will not feel awkward.
There was relaxing music playing in the car, and the two people were chatting casually.
It was inexplicably comfortable.
the other side.
This was Yunlan's first time attending such a grand banquet, and he took it very seriously.
She specially spent a huge amount of money to buy a small dress from Di's family and matched it with a set of high-end jewelry.
Of course, all these huge sums of money came from Ji Wenxuan.
That day, Ji Wenxuan told her that he was going to attend a charity dinner, and she became very excited.
She had always dreamed of attending such a luxurious banquet of the upper class.
Ji Wenxuan, the good husband, immediately said that he would pay for it when he heard her say that she needed to buy two suits for the Ji family's business.
But Ji Wenxuan didn't expect that the cost of Yun Lan's selection of jewelry and dress would be nearly 100,000!
This still made him feel very painful.
