Awakening to cultivate immortality, he impulsively marries a beautiful CEO on the day of his divorce
Chapter 258 Expressing Gratitude at the Last Minute
"It's alright, a little over ten thousand a month."
"That is indeed a little less."
Chen Hongsheng adjusted his glasses and said, "I can still make a living in Jiangning, but in Beijing, it would be difficult to even survive."
Xu Linwei was a little annoyed; this guy was belittling her husband.
She told her husband to keep a low profile, not to be trampled on.
"Mr. Chen, what do you do for a living?" she asked in a cold tone.
Chen Hongsheng smiled upon hearing this: "Me? I work at a law firm, and my annual income is only around a million."
His tone was full of superiority.
Liu Min added, "Lin Wei, my boyfriend is a senior lawyer. He has a success rate of over 90% on the cases he handles. Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries seek his services."
Chen Hongsheng was getting a little cocky and said:
"Brother Yi, you have no future in the hospital. With your skills, why not open your own clinic? Earning a million a year is not a dream."
Chen Yi almost laughed.
Earning a million a year, look at how capable you are.
I'm not interested in money.
He said, "Forget it, working alone is too tiring. I prefer a more relaxed lifestyle. I'll stick to seeing patients."
"Everyone has their own ambitions, and what Brother Yi said makes sense. I'm just not cut out for poverty, and I can't enjoy that kind of life."
Chen Hongsheng said.
Xu Linwei's face turned pale; she found Chen Hongsheng utterly detestable.
He said, "Being able to relax is a blessing; only oxen and horses worry about money."
"Hehehe, Miss Xu is absolutely right."
Chen Hongsheng was somewhat embarrassed.
They came here to show off their superiority, but ended up being treated like dirt.
Although he earns millions a year, he's really just a slightly higher-class beast of burden.
He continued, "Brother Yi is truly blessed to have married such a virtuous and uncompetitive wife as Miss Xu."
"That's right, I always said being able to relax is a blessing."
Xu Linwei gave a slight, cold laugh.
Liu Min's expression turned somewhat unpleasant at this moment, as her boyfriend had actually praised Xu Linwei for being virtuous and not comparing herself to others.
She's someone who loves to compare herself to others, and she felt like her boyfriend was specifically talking about her.
Chen Hongsheng gave a slightly awkward laugh. He didn't understand why a woman like Xu Linwei would fall for a mere doctor and protect him so much.
He then asked, "Which department are you in, Brother Yi?"
"Traditional Chinese medicine," Chen Yi replied.
"Traditional Chinese Medicine? Brother Yi, you're so young, why are you learning Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
Chen Hongsheng feigned surprise, his eyes filled with even more disdain.
"What? Is there a problem?" Chen Yi was a little annoyed.
His wife told him to keep a low profile and not to provoke her old classmate.
He did keep a low profile; this guy kept showing off his superiority, but Chen Yi didn't care.
However, this guy actually dared to look down on traditional Chinese medicine, which Chen Yi couldn't tolerate.
Chen Hongsheng scoffed and said, "Traditional Chinese medicine is nothing more than the experience imagined by ancient people who did not understand science or human anatomy."
With the rise of modern science, traditional Chinese medicine will sooner or later be swept into the dustbin of history. Brother Yi, studying traditional Chinese medicine won't lead to anything.
Chen Yi's expression darkened.
Chen Hongsheng saw it in the rearview mirror, and his smugness grew even stronger.
"I've heard that traditional Chinese medicine can diagnose illnesses without instruments. Brother Yi, how about you take a look at me? Let's see if you can tell the truth."
Disgust was already showing in Chen Yi's eyes. He listened to his wife's advice to keep a low profile, but that didn't mean he would tolerate others disrespecting him.
Since you're asking for a beating, I don't mind playing along.
He slowly began to say, "You often experience dry mouth, hot palms and soles, and profuse sweating at night."
"Hey, you're not bad, you guessed right. Did Minmin tell you?"
Chen Hongsheng laughed upon hearing this, completely disregarding Chen Yi's words.
That bastard is shameless. He hit the nail on the head but still refuses to admit it, making up excuses like his girlfriend told him.
Chen Yi smirked slightly and continued, "You have another very serious problem."
"What's the problem?" Chen Hongsheng asked with a smirk.
"Thank you so much at the last minute!"
Chen Yi spoke each word very clearly, and at the end, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.
"Brother Hongsheng, this couldn't possibly have been told to me by your girlfriend, could it?"
Swish!
Instantly, Chen Hongsheng's face turned black, and his knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel.
Liu Min's face was also slightly pale, and her fingers were tightly gripping the hem of her skirt.
Xu Linwei was a little confused: "Honey, what does 'thanking someone at the last minute' mean?"
Chen Yi smiled slightly and said, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Don't worry, you'll never have the chance to learn from this in your entire life."
This disease is caused by long-term high-intensity work that depletes the body.
"Wife, you're right. I'll just take it easy and earn that ten thousand or so. Working like a beast of burden isn't good."
Every word Chen Yi uttered felt like a sharp blade piercing Chen Hongsheng's heart, making Chen Hongsheng so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
That's incredibly humiliating!
So what if she's good at reading people's expressions?
What's so special about it?
We'll see!
Upon arriving at the hotel and parking the car, the four of them went inside and entered a private room.
After everyone took their seats, Chen Hongsheng handed the menu to Chen Yi.
"Brother Yi, this hotel has just opened and the seafood here has an excellent reputation."
Order whatever you want to eat. I may not have much else, but I'm not short of money.
He looked at Chen Yi arrogantly.
Having just lost face, he was determined to get his revenge here.
For men, what matters is the amount of money in their bank account, not the amount of "ammunition" in bed.
Look at this menu, it'll scare you to death.
One dish is enough to pay you half a month's salary.
Chen Yi glanced at the bill and said, "You really want me to order whatever I want?"
"Order whatever you like, Brother Yi. Not eating your fill today would be disrespectful to me."
Chen Hongsheng waved his hand dramatically, displaying great domineering presence.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony." Chen Yi's lips curled up slightly.
If you want to show off, then I'll let you show off to your heart's content.
"waiter."
He called over the waiter, "Five Australian lobsters, five Alaskan king crabs..."
Chen Yi ordered everything in one breath, and Chen Hongsheng broke out in a cold sweat.
A typical luxury meal for four people costs around ten thousand yuan, but this guy ordered enough for more than a dozen people.
It'll cost forty or fifty thousand.
"Brother Yi, can you finish all this food?"
"I may not have much else to offer, but I can eat a lot. Brother Hongsheng, you won't think I've ordered too much, will you?"
Chen Yi said jokingly.
"No, no, how could that be! A few tens of thousands of dollars is nothing to me."
Chen Hongsheng quickly replied.
Although he earns millions a year, he has to pay mortgage and car loan payments, and maintain his girlfriend's luxurious lifestyle, leaving him with very little money at the end of the year.
It's no wonder they're heartbroken after spending tens of thousands on food.
But today, I have to grit my teeth and keep up the act.
Liu Min glared at Chen Yi.
Where did this country bumpkin come from? Has he never eaten seafood before?
Such a big eater!
Be careful, you might have an allergic reaction!
Xu Linwei chuckled to herself.
She's met a lot of people.
She knows all too well what kind of life a high-level white-collar worker with an annual income of millions lives in Beijing.
This arrogant Chen Hongsheng is going to suffer a loss today.
She glanced at Chen Yi, her eyes smiling.
My husband is incredibly low-key, frighteningly so.
Soon, the dishes were served.
Chen Yi ate heartily and talked nonsense about everything under the sun.
Chen Hongsheng and Liu Min stared at him in astonishment; Chen Yi had actually eaten the entire table of seafood.
Chen Hongsheng broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it, he thought, he'd never invite that starving bastard to dinner again.
If you keep eating, you'll bankrupt me.
"Brother Yi, have you finished eating?"
He asked with a forced smile, afraid that Chen Yi would order more food.
"I'm satisfied with the meal. Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Hongsheng."
Chen Yi took a tissue and wiped his mouth as he spoke.
He chuckled to himself, thinking that the real show was just beginning.
"Waiter, check please!" Chen Hongsheng called out loudly.
