After Getting a Divorce, I Continued Being a Miracle Doctor - Chapter 55 - 55 Blow

55 Blow

However, Mrs. Hou suffered a huge blow after that and lost all her confidence.

Shangguan Ding walked to Jian Xing’er’s side and hugged her intimately, as if they were newlyweds.

Shangguan Ding smiled and said, “Hello, everyone! I’m Shangguan Ding, Jian Xing’er’s friend. Thank you for inviting us to celebrate the holidays.”

Mrs. Hou had a complicated expression and remained silent.

Mr. Hou said, “Hello, we welcome you. Don’t stand here. Let’s talk inside.”

Mr. Hou let everyone in.

Mrs. Hou, Hou Qiang, and Gu Yao didn’t move.

Hou Qiang sighed softly with disappointment in his eyes as he said, “We came here for nothing! Your family can’t keep Jian Xing’er as a daughter-in-law!”

Gu Yao said, “Mr. Shangguan is so handsome. Any woman would be infatuated when they see him. He also has a noble aura. One look and you can tell that he’s the young master of a big family.”

Mrs. Hou’s expression was very ugly as she said, “Jian Xing’er is deliberately doing so to anger Junlai. Otherwise, why would she bring a man here? This means that Jian Xing’er still cares a lot about Junlai.”

Mrs. Hou seemed to be consoling herself.

Even so, Mrs. Hou wouldn’t give up.

After parking the car, Hou Xiaoyu walked over.

Mrs. Hou immediately said, “Xiaoyu, you came back with her. What’s the relationship between Mr. Shangguan and Jian Xing’er?”

Hou Xiaoyu said, “They’re probably just ordinary friends. Don’t worry! My sister-in-law still loves my brother deep down. When I went over, I told her that my brother was sick, very sick. Sister-in-law was immediately worried.”

Only then did a smile appear on Mrs. Hou’s face. “Very good!”

Hou Xiaoyu frowned and said, “Mom, we can’t be careless about Brother and Sister-in-law. Although Sister-in-law doesn’t have much interest in Shangguan Ding, Shangguan Ding is very interested in her. Sister-in-law’s car was given to her by Mr. Shangguan.”

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she frowned.

After Jian Xing’er entered the villa, she went upstairs.

Jian Xing’er knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened. Hou Junlai was stunned when he saw that it was Jian Xing’er.

Hou Junlai came back to his senses and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Jian Xing’er said, “Hou Xiaoyu said that you’re sick and that it’s very serious. I came to see you.”

Upon seeing Hou Junlai again, Jian Xing’er behaved very naturally.

There was no awkwardness at all.

Hou Junlai understood that Hou Xiaoyu had used the excuse that he was sick to trick Jian Xing’er back.

Hou Junlai glanced at Jian Xing’er and said, “Hou Xiaoyu lied to you! But since you’re already here, let’s celebrate the holidays together!”

Hou Junlai was very polite, as if he was treating a guest.

Jian Xing’er knew that she had been deceived, but she wasn’t angry. She wanted to stay and watch these people make a fool of themselves.

Previously, these people disdained to even acknowledge Jian Xing’er. Now, Jian Xing’er was out of their league.

Jian Xing’er said, “Okay, since it’s free, of course I have to eat.”

Jian Xing’er raised her eyebrows. Then, she went downstairs and sat on the sofa.

Hou Junlai watched Jian Xing’er leave with a complicated expression.

Mrs. Hou, Hou Xiaoyu, Hou Qiang, and Gu Yao also entered the living room.

After all the dishes were served, they sat around the dining table.

Mrs. Hou kept serving Jian Xing’er food and treated her even better than her children. She would pour wine for her and put food in her bowl from time to time.

Hou Qiang and Gu Yao also smiled as they spoke to Jian Xing’er.

Jian Xing’er sneered inwardly and looked at these people as if she was looking at a clown.

Jian Xing’er had met Hou Qiang and Gu Yao a few times.

In the past, the two of them always acted high and mighty in front of Jian Xing’er because they were internal clansmen. Now that they heard that Jian Xing’er had a good relationship with the Li family, they took the initiative to please her.

Mrs. Hou raised her glass and said, “Today is a holiday, so let’s toast Jian Xing’er together.”

Everyone also stood up with their wine glasses.

Hou Junlai forced a smile and said with a glass of wine in hand, “Thank you for helping me with the company. I’ll return this favor to you.”

After saying that, Hou Junlai raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.

Putting down the wine glass, Hou Junlai said, “I’m full!”

With that, Junlai left the cafeteria.

Afraid that Jian Xing’er would get angry, Mrs. Hou immediately said, “Junlai isn’t feeling well. Don’t mind him…”

Jian Xing’er didn’t say anything and just finished the wine in her glass.

Jian Xing’er glanced at Shangguan Ding and said, “Let’s go too!”

Then, he walked out with Shangguan Ding.

Jian Xing’er looked at these people’s humble and fawning expressions. She had achieved her goal, so she naturally didn’t want to continue staying here.

No matter how well Mrs. Hou treated her now, it was useless.

Jian Xing’er had already seen their true colors clearly.
