Be that as it may, Father and Mother Jiang were somewhat surprised.
As their gazes traveled from the two young men——each one ingratiating himself and lowering himself further than the other——to their drop-dead gorgeous daughter, it was not difficult for them to figure out what was going on. After all, they were people with considerable social experience.
Even so, Father Jiang acted exceptionally calm. “Rongshen? Mr. Liang? What a coincidence, but what are you doing in Zurich?”
When he decided to make his way here, Huo Rongshen was initially prepared to bear the pressure of being shunned by Jiang Dai. However, his innermost feelings were in disarray after running into this person surnamed ‘Liang.’
In comparison, he was not adept at socializing and flattering others, not to mention he was always surrounded by people who would ingratiate themselves with him.
Be that as it may, Huo Rongshen was most concerned about Jiang Dai’s reaction. As such, he kept observing her countenance inadvertently.
With much social graces, Liang Jingche chuckled with glee and spoke amiably, “Uncle Jiang, it has been far too long, and we haven’t seen each other for years. Several days ago, Jiang Dai mentioned your situation. Furthermore, it just so happens that I’m here on a business trip and also staying in this hotel for the next two days. I heard that you’d be arriving soon, so I thought I have to give you a warm welcome.”
In its early years, Feng Qi Bank had once worked with Bao Li. Back then, Liang Jingche was still very young and had been following his father around to learn how to run a bank before graduating. He seemed to be a refined and courteous young gentleman.

Liang Jingche was indeed an exceptional conversationalist, as he had engaged in a lengthy conversation with Father and Mother Jiang from the point of checking in to waiting for the lift. Whereas for Huo Rongshen, he seemed to be ostracized from the warm atmosphere and could not find any way to cut in on their conversation.
It took Father Jiang a long while before he had the time to notice Huo Rongshen. He asked, “Rongshen, are you here on a business trip as well?”
At this juncture, Huo Rongshen could hardly compose himself as he answered, “No, I’m not. I was just afraid Jiang Dai was not able to take care of you and Aunt on her own. Since the medical examination is so crucial, I can only feel at ease if I were able to tag along.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Dai shot him a glare of contempt.
It was only then did he reluctantly correct himself, “This is my obligation as a friend.”
Subsequently, the atmosphere in the lift became somewhat awkward. Liang Jingche remained silent while Jiang Dai was simmering with rage—so much so that everyone in the lift, including the full-time elevator operator, two nurses, chauffeur…… Even if someone amid them could not understand Chinese, they were still able to detect the awkwardness without the hindrance of the language barrier.
Upon reaching the 28th level where Jiang Dai and her family would be staying, she treated the two men with courtesy emotionlessly, “I’ll be accompanying my parents back to the room to put away the luggage and wash up. We have, after all, taken a flight for over 10 hours, so they are weary and need to get some rest.”
All in all, they were still considered sensible people.
As such, Liang Jingche notified, “Uncle, Auntie, please have an early rest. Jiang Dai, if you need anything, please feel free to contact me.”
Pursing his lips, Huo Rongshen could not help but wish inwardly that he was even more flattering and initiative than this deadbeat. However, he would rather die than embarrass himself in front of his love rival.
So when Liang Jingche had already entered the lift to make his way to other levels, Huo Rongshen turned back and pressed the doorbell to the suite room that Jiang Dai and her family were staying in.
Considering that seeking medical treatment and vacation were not the same thing, she would much rather let her parents enjoy time together if it was a vacation. However, her father might require surgery if a diagnosis was made through a needle biopsy1 It refers to a diagnostic procedure in which the doctor uses a needle to obtain tissue samples from an organ, bone, or mass. A biopsy may be necessary to learn the nature of a newly diagnosed mass lesion and whether the abnormalities in your body are caused by cancer or other conditions. A biopsy is often performed to determine the type and severity of cancer. . For the convenience of taking care of her father, she booked a massive suite with three bedrooms, where her parents would be staying in the innermost master bedroom. As for the other two bedrooms, she would be taking one while the other would be left for the nurse. It would be more convenient should they require a nurse to keep watch overnight, but it was vacant at the moment.
Since Father and Mother Jiang had already entered the innermost part of the suite, Jiang Dai then became the closest one to the door. As such, she quickly came out to open the door.
Initially, she assumed it was one of the hotel staff, but little did she know it was this b*stard.
At this moment, she was unsure what sort of emotions she should have when she faced this person. Ill manners? No, that would not be suitable. After all, it was all thanks to this b*stard for her dad to be able to see the doctor in Mayne Hospital.
However, Jiang Dai was afraid she might give him the wrong signals if she were to treat him nicely. No matter what, it would not be ideal for him to live in his fantasies.
As such, Jiang Dai put on a practiced smile and asked, “Mr. Huo, what else can I do for you?”
Huo Rongshen pressed his thin lips together and replied, “……I am at your beck and call 24/7, so look for me if anything happens.”
With a roll of her eyes, Jiang Dai closed the door.
……
She initially assumed that the commotion at the door was pretty small, but little did she know that it still alarmed her parents.
After changing into their loungewear, her parents left their room with an intrigued look. Wanting to gossip, they began to probe, “Daidai, these two… What’s going on with them?”
Pressing her fingers to her forehead, Jiang Dai answered, “I have no idea. They must be on some drugs or something?”
Mother Jiang chuckled, “Huo Rongshen came by the house a few days ago. His intentions……we can understand, but we also know that you have made up your mind and will never be too intimate with him. However, this Mr. Liang…… How is it that I’ve never heard you mention him before?”
Her mum’s words gave Jiang Dai a throbbing headache. When she first dealt with Liang Jingche, she felt that he was an exceptionally wily businessman who did everything in a strictly business-like manner.
But since that weekend…… Well, it was reasonable for him to drop by and return the tablet that had been taken by mistake. Then again, considering his entire performance and attitude…… doubts rose again in Jiang Dai’s mind.
If that weekend was considered a fleeting thought, there was no way for her to feign ignorance when she was currently in a foreign country 11 hours away from Yanjing.
This Mr. Liang…… She had absolutely no idea what he saw in her, nor was he messing around with her.
Could it be that a person with a sister complex, like Liang Jingche, wanted to have her as Liang Zhenyu’s sister-in-law, just because his sister liked her?
Not a ripple could be heard in Jiang Dai’s voice as she responded, “Didn’t he mention that he is on a business trip? Since Zurich isn’t that big, only a limited number of hotels offer a good environment. Besides, I have a loan of 800 million dollars with them. Just the repayment alone, it is able to support numerous staff in Feng Qi. What’s more, I am his ‘Party B.’2 乙方爸爸: It refers to the person who provides services for Party A, in exchange for proceeds through his own services. Since he knows of dad’s situation, isn’t it very normal for him to take the initiative to express his sympathy?”
At this point, Father Jiang had already begun brewing tea after retrieving his most beloved tea set from his luggage.
