Chapter 580: Chapter 581 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 98_1

Huo Lei arrived at the police station for a meeting by the time Gao Jian had already left.

Seeing Shen Jie’s happy expression, "What’s up?" Wasn’t it said that a couple of petty thieves had entered your house? Why does my wife’s expression look so happy?

Just now, Shen Jie had made the policeman who previously took Gao Jian’s statement step aside, not expecting it to be him recording the statement again, of course she inquired a little.

The policeman recognized Shen Jie and knew she was a doctor. He shared some unimportant news with her.

Shen Jie was truly astounded. She had known before that Gao Jian had been tricked out of money again, but what she didn’t know was that he had encountered a professional con artist.

Shen Jie whispered the situation into Huo Lei’s ear, and he was equally surprised, looking at Shen Jie in disbelief.

"How does he conduct business?"

"I have no idea." Shen Jie didn’t know what business the other party was in, "Could it be what someone said before, that in this day and age, you don’t need brains to do business?"

"Even a pig’s head doing business would earn money; I used to think that was a bit harsh."

"But now I feel there’s some truth to it, otherwise with Gao Jian’s brain, how could he make money?"

She didn’t forget to take another jab at Gao Jian; with someone like him, there was really no need for courtesies.

Huo Lei knew Shen Jie’s dissatisfaction with Gao Jian, and Shen Yuan, "Doing business in the future won’t be so easy."

He and Li Xudong were actually also transitioning their business, but now they could still make money easily.

"I don’t know about that, but I think at least Gao Jian should have pretty good luck."

"Otherwise, after he said he was out of money last time, now he has a net worth of over fifty thousand again."

Huo Lei interrupted her, "When he says he’s out of money, does that mean he really is out of money?/"

"Maybe he’s out of money in Capital City, but what about The South?"

"A person who has made so many contributions to his family, only to be abandoned by them when trouble hits, I don’t think he would be without any backup plans."

Right, how could she forget that detail – one must never let their guard down at any time.

"Exactly, that is very possible." If he didn’t have some savings, he wouldn’t be able to make that much money.

"Forget it, knowing that he’s not doing well makes me happy."

"If possible, I hope that every time he earns money, someone will act as an agent of heaven."

And take all the money Gao Jian made for Huo Huo, although expecting this to become more difficult as Gao Jian wouldn’t keep falling into traps.

"Wealth moves the heart." After saying this, Huo Lei didn’t want to concern himself any more with Gao Jian’s affairs.

"By the way, he said that Shen Yuan has already gone to Harbor City."

"She’s even bought a house there." Honestly, Shen Jie was a bit surprised; even if Shen Yuan had some private savings, totalled together it wouldn’t exceed eighty or ninety thousand.

Even now, when the real estate prices in Harbor City hadn’t sky-rocketed, buying an apartment wasn’t an easy feat.

"If you can’t afford expensive buildings, you can buy cheaper ones," Huo Lei had never been to Harbor City, but Li Xudong had been there.

"There are new houses there, skyscrapers as well as decades-old buildings; where you buy depends on the money in your hand."

Huo Lei felt that with Shen Yuan’s capabilities, buying Tang Building was the best she could do. Although the location wasn’t spectacular, the place was convenient for living and could be rented out.

Shen Jie also thought of the real estate Shen Yuan might buy. Apart from Tang Building, she couldn’t afford any other properties.

Shen Jie was a bit regretful that her original archenemies were not looking too bright, especially Gao Jian, whose vigor and spirit had clearly declined a lot.

During the last police report, although he kept harping on about money, at least he was spirited and quickly got back on his feet.

But this time, he seemed much more defeated, lacking the vigor and spirit. It’s all about that energy that keeps a person going.

Once that energy is gone, unless you come to a realization and strive to pick yourself up, you generally can only keep sinking further.

As for Shen Yuan, she had actually become a landlord. Even if she didn’t have her best days, she at least had her mundane ones and had gotten a residency permit for that place.

Shen Jie was in a foul mood, already planning how to deal with Shen Yuan with strategies like using a handsome man, a sudden wealth scheme, or taking her out for a little adventure next door.

After all, people from Harbor City often crossed the sea to the neighboring place for a few rounds of fun on weekends, which was quite normal.

Give someone a taste of the sweet life, and then lead them on step by step, and see if they don’t take the bait.

It was a shame that she had ideas, but no way to execute them. Shen Jie felt helpless and could only pray that someone would take an interest in Shen Yuan.

When Shen Jie and the others arrived home, they received news from Shen Jianshe and the two others, who had rushed over from Q University, anxiously inquiring whether anyone had been startled.

"It’s fine," Shen Jie replied, having a day off from the hospital, "I was initially at home resting, but then a patient I was responsible for suddenly had a worsening condition, so I rushed over."

Don’t think she was calm at the police station; she might have looked undisturbed, but she was quite panicked.

If it weren’t for the dogs at home barking at strangers, and if it weren’t for calling the police and them arriving quickly, she couldn’t guarantee being unharmed.

The Shen family had already discussed on the way over, "We plan to move here to look after you."

Lady Shen Li was seriously frightened when she heard of the break-in, and hurriedly insisted on staying close to Shen Jie.

Shen Jie was, of course, willing to have her family come over to take care of her. Although there was a maid at home, she was someone who kept things to herself.

The advantage was that she wouldn’t spread around what was happening in the house, but the disadvantage was that she wasn’t someone to chat with. But having the old lady would be better; they could chat together and then go for walks nearby.

"What about Feng Dan if you all come over?" asked Shen Xiaohui, the youngest of the siblings, whose child had already been born, to the delight of Shen Xiaohui.

Say he didn’t behave like a brother, it didn’t matter; now his son was fated to be the older brother of Shen Jie’s son.

That’s right, Shen Xiaohui and his spouse had a son. Although Shen Jie hadn’t given birth, the last time she was checked by a doctor with whom she had a good relationship, it had been hinted at that she was actually hoping for a daughter.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be another son. The three siblings of Shen Jie all had sons, and there wasn’t a single daughter in the fourth generation of the Shen family, which was a source of disappointment.

A son, no matter how good, isn’t as close to the heart as a little daughter. Of course, sons are also fine; at least they are hardy and can be disciplined without much concern.

Shen Xiaoguang still hadn’t retired from the military but had been transferred to a coastal city in the South, and his wife, the only daughter of his former commanding officer, also served as a doctor in a military hospital there.

In the last two years, the couple had twin sons. The eldest was named after his mother’s surname, and the second bore the surname Shen.

This had been proposed by Shen Xiaoguang and agreed upon by the three members of the Shen family. Initially, it had been decided that the child, regardless of gender, would carry on the mother’s surname to continue the family line.

To their surprise, twin sons were born, to the delight of both families. After hearing of the birth of her grandsons, Zhang Yamei went south to join her in-laws and helped care for the children for two years.
