The Fierce and Powerful Immortal Physician

Chapter 9 Childhood Sweethearts

A woman who bore a resemblance to Xia Ziruo suddenly stood up from her seat.

Her exquisitely beautiful face carried a hint of arrogance.

Her long, black hair was tied into a high ponytail, and a white jumpsuit perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.

A pair of long, fair legs stood gracefully on the plain wedge sandals.

It was Xia Zixuan, Zhou Hao's childhood sweetheart and former fiancée.

I just graduated from Sichuan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and am preparing to use connections to get into Yunyang City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Zhou Hao's arrival took her completely by surprise; she was utterly unprepared.

Without it,

I learned from Liu Shuran and her daughter that Zhou Hao could not possibly regain his senses, and I had personally witnessed his condition, which was extremely bad.

"I've come to see Uncle and Aunt. Okay, that's enough for now."

Zhou Hao knew who she was without even looking, and replied calmly and respectfully.

After all, they had once loved each other, and their memories of each other remained indelible.

Today I can finally put this matter to rest.

As soon as he finished speaking,

A commotion immediately broke out in the room, with many relatives and friends whispering among themselves.

"This officially ends the engagement; it should have happened a long time ago."

"At least he has some self-awareness; his brain isn't completely broken."

"I heard that the prominent Shen family of Yunyang will be coming to propose marriage in a few days, and the handsome young man next to Zixuan is Shen Zeyu, the second young master of the Shen family."

"Yes, although he is not the eldest son, he is the second in line to the throne and also owns shares in the Shen Group, with a net worth of over 100 million."

"The Shen family is one of the core partners of the Guo family's Triumph Group, one of the four major families in Yunyang."

"He's definitely a golden bachelor, no one can compare to him, not even a penniless fool. Zixuan is going to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich wife, tsk tsk."

"..."

Xia Zixuan was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected Zhou Hao to agree so readily. She said with a hint of reluctance, "Uh, I hope you keep your word."

There wasn't even a word of farewell, as if they had never crossed paths before.

In the past, Zhou Hao fought with other boys until they were bloodied and bruised, refusing to back down an inch in order to protect himself from being bullied.

I thought he would beg me not to break up with him.

A deep sense of loss filled my heart.

"Today is Mom's birthday, let's not talk about that, let's start the meal." Zhou Ziruo quickly changed the subject when she saw this.

After all, this isn't something to brag about.

While the Xia family's actions were understandable, it still felt a bit like they were abandoning their family after their departure.

Zhou Hao must be very sad.

"Yes, let's wish today's birthday celebrant a happy birthday!" Xia Zhongjing also realized something was amiss, raised his glass, and said loudly with a smile, "May everything go smoothly for you, may you always be smiling, cheers!"

"Happy birthday."

Everyone raised their glasses in celebration.

Soon, everyone was toasting and drinking, and the atmosphere became lively.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

"Mom, here's a diamond necklace for you. Wishing you good health."

"Mom, here's a gold bracelet for you. May you have boundless happiness."

"Auntie, this is a piece of Hetian jade. May you live a long and healthy life."

"Auntie, this is glass-type jadeite!"

"..."

The younger generation presented their treasures, bringing the banquet to a small climax.

"Okay, okay."

Qiu Shulan grinned from ear to ear, her shrewd eyes curving into crescents. She glanced at Zhou Hao and said with no small amount of pride, "You've all made something of yourselves."

Only Zhou Hao remained calm and collected, quietly enjoying his meal. He had been busy all morning; he was truly hungry.

"Auntie, this is a globally limited edition gold skincare essence specially made for you. May you stay young forever."

At this moment, the young man sitting next to Xia Zixuan glanced at Zhou Hao with hostility, stood up, walked to Qiu Shulan's side, opened an exquisite box, revealing a set of cosmetics that exuded a faint fragrance.

"Mom, there are only 100 sets of this cosmetics in the world. They are handmade and worth 100,000 yuan."

Xia Zixuan added with no small amount of pride, "Shen Zeyu queued for a very long time before he could get one."

As soon as he finished speaking,

The entire venue erupted in cheers, and the atmosphere instantly reached its peak.

"As expected of a wealthy young master, quite the spender!"

"That's what you call taste. The world of the rich is beyond our comprehension."

"My amazing product! A single set of cosmetics is worth 100,000 yuan. Is it made entirely of gold?"

"Tch, poverty limits your imagination~"

"..."

"Zeyu, you're so thoughtful. I like it."

Qiu Shulan was overjoyed, her eyes crinkling with laughter. She found her soon-to-be son-in-law increasingly pleasing to the eye, and subtly hinted:

"Men should have careers. If they don't work and just loaf around, they'll be ruined sooner or later. What woman would want to marry a man like that?"

"Xiao Hao, what are your plans for the future?"

Xia Zhongjing knew what his wife was implying, and asked with concern, "Now that you're feeling better, would you like your uncle to help you find something to do?"

He knew that Liu Yanong and her daughter would never return Qinghe Group to Zhou Hao, and that drifting around like this all the time wasn't a solution, so he couldn't help but worry deeply about his future.

"Uncle, if Zhou Hao doesn't mind, I'd be happy to help."

Shen Zeyu picked up the conversation, speaking with a sense of superiority:

"There are two options. One is that I have a friend who is a boss in northern Myanmar. I can go there and become a manager or something. The annual salary of 500,000 is no problem."

Secondly, my construction site is short of a foreman; we could earn two or three hundred thousand a year, though it's a bit hard work.

Zhou Hao, once a rival in love, was a glamorous second-generation rich kid three years ago, the young master of Qinghe Group with a net worth of tens of billions. Now he has become a penniless pauper.

Although his godmother Liu Yannong still claims to be protecting his family business, it is clear to everyone that this is nothing but a beautiful lie.

Qinghe Group has become the private property of the Liu family and has nothing to do with Zhou Hao.

Xia Zixuan's single word "mouse" almost broke his guard.

This nickname has always been a taboo for him; it sounds jarring no matter how you look at it.

Although Xia Zixuan and Zhou Hao had broken off their engagement, he was still not satisfied.

What could be more satisfying than trampling your former rival in love and grinding them into the ground?

"Forget it, I'm afraid I'll get my kidneys ripped off if I go to northern Myanmar."

After Zhou Hao finished eating and drinking, he put down his chopsticks, wiped his lips, and said indifferently, "I'm not destined to be a foreman. Let others earn those hundreds of thousands."

"Tch, you don't know what's good for you. You're no better than a plucked phoenix than a chicken now, and you're still pretending to be high and mighty. You're like a summer insect that can't understand ice."

Shen Zeyu sneered.

"Alright, alright, since he doesn't appreciate it, Zeyu, don't worry about it. After dinner, it's more important to discuss your engagement with Zixuan."

Qiu Shulan rolled her eyes: "He'll have his moments of tears."

The crowd sighed and expressed their sympathy once again.

"Bang!"

at this time,

The banquet hall doors were suddenly flung open, and a group of energetic young men rushed in.
