20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3827 Shen Bangqing

The metaphor of ginseng essence did not make Zhao Chang'an feel appreciated. He said, "If you want to compare me to Tang Sanzang, I think it would be more appropriate."

Do you abstain from pornography?

Wen Ye's questions were incisive.

"You just don't know how to have a conversation!" Zhao Chang'an exclaimed, then asked curiously, "What's the background of this Shen Youli?"

"To put it cynically, my mother and I were abandoned by a man when we were young. Actually, it wasn't really abandonment, just divorce. My mother suffered from severe depression as a result. She took medication the night she received her college acceptance letter, but she survived. She is now in a vegetative state and is being treated at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital."

Wen Ye smacked his lips and said, "That's awesome!"

"That's ruthless!"

Zhao Chang'an shook his head upon hearing this: "Since you've been able to endure for so many years, why not endure a little longer? Why go to such extremes, especially since you haven't even achieved your goal? How much of a blow will this be to Shen Youli! Such a beautiful girl, let alone Zou Xiaojun, even I, your brother Zhao, feel sorry for her and want to hug her and comfort her properly."

Seeing Wen Ye looking at him like he was an idiot, Zhao Chang'an asked in confusion, "What, is my analysis wrong, or do you not understand the struggle, torment and pain in the heart of a person with severe depression?"

"The car she drives would cost over 600,000 yuan even without any markup; last year she bought a top-of-the-line duplex apartment in Green Island International Academy with cash, and she has a full-time cook at home. You can think about it carefully."

Wen Ye said quietly, "Her mother, Xia Xiaoyan, is a psychology professor at Muye Medical College. She had been single for many years, raising a child alone, and suffered from depression. Yet, she had no shortage of outstanding men pursuing her, and some of them remained single for her sake."

"So, her father is really powerful. Who is he?"

Zhao Chang'an asked curiously.

"Don't tell me you didn't understand what I meant and are still lingering on Ke Yaqing's beauty, your mind blank. Shen Bangqing, you probably don't recognize the name, he's the chairman of Anling Mining, and his wife is Cheng Li. Shen Bangqing and Zou Huanan don't have much interaction or conflict, but Cheng Li and Zou Huanan's parents have a serious conflict. Of course, the more important reason why Zou Huanan can't accept Shen Youli is probably not that. Zou Huanan is a very principled person with a strong sense of justice, and he doesn't tolerate any injustice. Don't be fooled by his docile appearance."

Wen Ye said, "Also, Shen Youli doesn't even look at Zou Xiaojun. His affection is just wishful thinking."

"I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of Zou Huanan?"

Zhao Chang'an smiled.

"No one is perfect. You have to look at the mainstream and the general direction, and also consider the position the evaluator is in. I'm currently sitting in the position of the president of Yinano Zheng City, and that's how I see him. If you're asking me to find a truly good person, a saint, a perfect person, try finding one for me?"

Wen Ye walked to the window and opened it, clearly still unable to stand the stench emanating from Zhao Chang'an, now tainted by Ke Yaqing: "You should go to a hotel later. You can turn off Lin Xiaojie's tap."

"Let her continue to be the babbling brook in front of the door for a few more days. If she feels she can manage, then let her stay at the Aviation Hotel for half a month and recover on her own."

Zhao Chang'an asked, "You mean that what happened to Dang Chenying before made her think she could seek medical help from us?"

"Have you changed your personality?"

Wen Ye asked in surprise, "So you finally understood the true nature of the 'beautiful skeleton'? Did she ask you about the silver needles tonight?"

"I can't have an epiphany, otherwise life would be no fun. I have plenty of women like that, and she'd rather see me as a ginseng spirit to devour, just like you said. I have to whet her appetite."

Zhao Chang'an said, "I'll go back to Yuda later and find Yang Yixin. I didn't ask about the silver needles, but she seemed quite interested in my massage and manipulation techniques." However, Wen Ye's eyes still showed disbelief and suspicion, but he didn't press Lin Xiaojie about it further. Instead, he said, "Perhaps she doesn't want her mother to wake up?"

"If I take her tonight, her hatred for Liu Shilin might not be so intense. Hehe, Liu Shilin's sister is a true gem, no less than Ke Yaqing and Shen Youli. Moreover, I think girls from the mountains are better than the two of them in terms of physique, physical strength, and temperament. In my extraordinary eyes, this girl has great potential."

Zhao Chang'an said, "You might not be so sure. I think she was more focused on how to treat her headache the whole time."

"I just said you're bad at judging people, are you just being stubborn and trying to play the long game with me?"

Wen Ye smiled and said, "Alright then, let's wait and see."

"I'm absolutely certain I'll win."

Zhao Chang'an said with a smile that he had specifically asked Lin Xiaojie about Liu Shilin's family situation on the plane yesterday, and he actually heard a very familiar name from his previous life.

Liu Shijuan.

If Chang Shan and Pei Xuezhe were Xia Wenzhuo's right-hand men in Zhao Chang'an's previous life, then Shan Cai's number one trusted general was this woman.

However, the woman's face was burned. Some of the employees at Shancai Education gossiped that her brother's ex-lover, who was pregnant, was trying to throw something at the woman. Liu Shijuan stepped in front of her and was burned in the process.

On the plane, Zhao Chang'an was speechless when he heard this. He felt that the world was truly absurd and ridiculous.

Zhao Chang'an chatted with Wen Ye for a while and learned that he had a strong aversion to women, so he didn't bother him anymore. Instead, he drove Wen Ye's car to Yuda International Trade Center to stay overnight.

His conversation with Wen Ye was fragmented, but the two had been brothers for many years and were the kind of people who could tell what you were doing just by looking at each other's words, and they both understood the meaning behind each other's words.

Wen Ye meant that Shen Youli, living in such a gloomy environment, was very likely fed up with that kind of life and routine long ago. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become a vegetable with Xia Xiaoyan while accepting so many resources from Shen Bangqing.

This is why Zou Huanan wouldn't allow Shen Youli to enter his home; his behavior probably made him think that this girl had no conscience.

Zou Xiaojun is a bit of a jack-of-all-trades but a nice guy. If he marries Shen Youli, he'll be no match for her.

If Shen Youli, now free from oppression, gets together with Zou Xiaojun because she likes him, after Zou Huanan passes away in a few years, then the kid might still have a chance to survive. Otherwise, his future is truly worrying.

Moreover, there is a fundamental question here: since Shen Youli has Shen Bangqing backing her, why would she date and marry Zou Xiaojun?

Zhao Chang'an couldn't help but think of the nickname Wen Ye had given him: Ginseng Spirit.

Although he preferred to say that it was his unparalleled and unique personal charm that attracted countless beautiful women to undress in front of him and offer themselves to him.

But the truth is that none of these beautiful women who kept gathering around had any intention of simply liking or loving someone.

They either want money, or they covet his handsome looks, fame, and talent, or they want to gain access to resources and a higher platform in their careers, or they, like Ke Yaqing and Shen Youli tonight, know that he can cure diseases.

As his fame, wealth, and power grow, it will be difficult for him to experience the same pure love with beautiful women as he did with Liu Cui, Tang Shuang, and Jing Xiu in the future.
