Chapter 128: V28: That can’t mean finding a man...

In an instant, the surgery room erupted in low laughter.

On this end of the phone, Qiu Mingyan’s face was completely frozen, his lips twitching, unable to speak, "..."

When the call ended, if he hadn’t known it was his graduate advisor, who had painstakingly taught him for years, he almost spat out, ’Damn it!’

When he called Yu Yuanshen back, the cold tone perplexed Yu Yuanshen even more.

In the senior office of GIO Investment Bank, the backdrop was a panorama of towering, golden-lit skyscrapers.

Yu Yuanshen leaned against the edge of his desk, loosened his tie, and frowned, "I’m busy today. I have to see Zixuan later and then spend the evening with my daughter."

"What do you need to see Miss Gu for? She’s staying with me every day, and I see her dozens of times a day. What are you worried about?" Qiu Mingyan’s voice was very low, "As for that little ancestor of yours, I think whether she has you as a father or not, it doesn’t matter to her. Anyway, I’ve invited you. How many years has it been since the brothers had a meal together? Whether you’ll come tonight, it’s up to you."

Upon saying this, Qiu Mingyan hung up the phone.

On this end of the receiver, Yu Yuanshen frowned, looked at his phone, and pursed his lips.

...

By the time he arrived at Qiu Mingyan’s home, it was just past the peak of the traffic jam.

The sky was just turning dark, a calm before the brilliance of the city lights.

In the 180 square meter duplex apartment.

Yu Yuanshen sat silently at the dining table, looking utterly cold and unforthcoming.

Beside him, wearing a shirt with sleeves rolled to the elbows, Qiu Mingyan was alternately putting mutton rolls into the steaming hot pot while yammering, "Food outside isn’t clean. It’s rare to invite you over as a guest, come taste the culinary skills of Master Qiu."

Across the table, a pair of beautiful big eyes scanned the label on the frozen mutton roll box, saw the supermarket price of 54.36, and couldn’t help but lower her head and snicker.

Qiu Mingyan glared but didn’t really dare to glare.

After an awkward laugh, he turned to Yu Yuanshen, "So, how is it? Not bad, right?"

Yu Yuanshen looked up, the once gentle eyes now filled entirely with cold sharpness, but due to the present company, he couldn’t explode.

He answered icily, "What do you mean not bad?"

"Uh..." Qiu Mingyan glanced at the beautiful lady over there, afraid to say anything, so he could only laugh awkwardly, "The hotpot, is the hotpot okay?"

The admission of defeat amused another side.

Hearing the low laughter, Yu Yuanshen’s expression became even gloomier.

He recalled the conversation earlier on the phone, where Qiu Mingyan had said, "Come meet someone very important, don’t worry, serious business."

He pursed his lips coldly.

Looking now at the three of them, gathered around the table for hotpot, it was obvious the implied intent was not to eat.

He frowned deeply.

Finally, looking across at the face that bore some resemblance to another person, he genuinely felt a bit downcast.

Because across the table was none other than Feng Chengjin’s younger sister—Feng Chengyue!

A medical doctorate from a world-class medical university, with a secondary major in clinical orthopedic surgery.

Logically, being in the same field, it made sense for her to know Qiu Mingyan after returning from abroad.

Even Qiu Mingyan, who liked matchmaking, accidentally introduced her to Yu Yuanshen, unaware of his current relationship with Feng Chengjin, seemed normal enough.

But what wasn’t normal was... Obviously, Qiu Mingyan should have figured out his stance clearly over the past few days.

Suddenly pulling this stunt, what was it for?

Yu Yuanshen remained silent, while across from him, Feng Chengyue occasionally glanced at his handsome face.

To be honest, Yu Yuanshen was very good-looking, probably the most handsome man Feng Chengyue had seen in her life, apart from her own third brother.

He had an elegant demeanor, a clean appearance, though handsome, the two very faint crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes added warmth to his demeanor, preventing him from looking as cold as Feng Chengjin.

Although... She found it amusing that Qiu Mingyan kept introducing potential partners to her, perhaps because she had lived abroad for a long time. Returning home, even for matchmaking events, she enjoyed meeting new people, expanding her social circles.

"Mr. Yu... do you have any objections to me?"

Her bright big eyes were very pretty, mixed with the unique dark pupils of the Feng family, which made one’s heart flutter at a glance.

"..." Yu Yuanshen twitched his lips. Even if he really didn’t want to deal with the Feng family, he could only laugh awkwardly and politely say, "No, Miss Feng is quite nice."

Whether she was nice or not was unknown, but it was the first time Feng Chengyue was amused by Yu Yuanshen’s awkward answer.

She burst into laughter, shook her head, "Forget it, it seems like Mr. Yu has quite a bit of resentment. I better not ask, lest you suddenly storm off and I won’t even know why."

Her candid demeanor made Yu Yuanshen’s expression even more awkward.

In the air, Qiu Mingyan received Yu Yuanshen’s chilly vibes, feeling the prickling even in his bones.

The whole room, only Feng Chengyue was staring nonchalantly at the hotpot, forgetting the significance of Yu Yuanshen being called here, forgetting the blood from the earlier surgery, enjoying her meal to the fullest.

...

At night, after sending Feng Chengyue off with the driver, in the garden of the residential area, Yu Yuanshen stood with arms folded, cold and silent.

After a brief pause, when Qiu Mingyan patted his shoulder and was about to speak, he turned around and headed for his car.

The brisk steps reminded Qiu Mingyan of the earlier awkwardness, sighing speechlessly at the wasted opportunity while quickly catching up, "Hey, Old Yu, I’m doing this for your own good, look at your age now."

"I seem to be a year younger than you?" Yu Yuanshen got into the car, rolled down the window, and raised an eyebrow.

"Uh..." Qiu Mingyan twitched his lips, "But your daughter still needs a mother."

"Do you think Miss Feng would marry a twice-married man with a child?" free.webno(v)e\l.(c)om

"Uh..." Qiu Mingyan pursed his lips, "I’m just considering your loneliness these past two years..."

"Do you think I need to find a woman to have a meaningful life?"

"Uh..." Qiu Mingyan straightened up, "You can’t exactly find a man instead..."

In an instant, Yu Yuanshen’s expression nearly froze.

With a cold glint, his brown eyes were icy cold, "Qiu Mingyan, do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to? Don’t you know who I like? If you have any concerns, spit it out directly, no need to beat around the bush."

"Uh..." Staring at those sharp eyes, at that completely straightforward attitude.

Qiu Mingyan’s heart trembled with embarrassment.

Rubbing his nose, he leaned one arm against the car roof, leaning close to the window and whispered, "I know, I know, but I just think it’s not very good. Mainly, there are too many men who like Miss Gu, Old Yu, beautiful women are trouble, and she’s not even divorced yet, with a heap of troubles, even if she does get divorced... there are others waiting seriously... with real capabilities, you really don’t need to wade into those muddy waters."

Qiu Mingyan spoke earnestly, purely for Yu Yuanshen’s good.

Especially knowing Feng Chengjin as a person, he’s the kind of bastard who won’t stop until he gets what he wants, using means so devious they could even frighten ghosts away.

But Yu Yuanshen understood everything in an instant.

Thinking about the turbulent stock prices over the past three days, because of the team’s excellent operation and precise control over holdings, even if Feng Chengjin had money, there was no way to swiftly buy it out and drive up the price in a short time.

Moreover, he had successfully acquired shares this morning; besides what he used in the past three days to bicker with Feng Chengjin, he had acquired over 37 million shares, adding up to more than 53 million shares still untraded, purchased sporadically.

With a cold low laugh, he sat back and watched how Feng Chengjin would respond.

Yet he didn’t expect that, after waiting all afternoon, nothing happened.

Originally thought that Feng Chengjin certainly wouldn’t be able to do anything in the short term within two or three days, after all, the stock market was his battlefield. If you really wanted to play, it was still uncertain who would win or lose.

Unexpectedly, come evening, this happened out of the blue!

Stunned and speechless, Yu Yuanshen couldn’t describe the feeling of being backstabbed on the battlefield by his own pig-headed teammates, pulling at his tie, he spat out a curse for the first time, "Damn it!"

With a step on the gas pedal, he roared away.

On the spot, Qiu Mingyan, who had been maintaining a serious face, almost stumbled to the ground along with his movement.

Running a few steps forward, stabilizing his stance, Qiu Mingyan looked at the white Bentley Continental speeding away under the night sky, almost skewing his mouth out of anger.

Damn!

If he were to fracture a bone, it would be a huge loss.

The shame of lying in his own hospital being operated on by his own old professor was one thing, but who would cover the medical expenses!

...

The luxury car sped away.

In the night, the white Bentley Continental streaked through the elevated road, leaving a trail of phantoms.

Sleek as a night rainbow, speeding at a heart-racing pace.

Yu Yuanshen rarely drove at such speed; usually abiding by laws and rules, his temperament was gentle.

But tonight, his cold brows were tightly knit, remaining only a high, cold mountain peak.

Turning onto the Fourth Ring Road, when there were fewer cars, he gradually slowed down.

He switched on the Bluetooth headset, and the phone displayed a number he had never saved.

Beep...

One beep, two beeps.

Until the third beep was picked up, "Hello?" A clear voice came through.

Yu Yuanshen composed himself and smiled faintly, "President Feng, are you asleep?"

On the other end, Feng Chengjin seemed to be drinking something, and after the shallow sound of swallowing, he put down the cup, his voice carrying a hint of a lingering smile, "Not yet, but at this hour... what guidance does President Yu have?"
