After Getting a Divorce, I Continued Being a Miracle Doctor - Chapter 43

43 No Need

They drank one glass after another.

At this time, Hou Junlai’s phone rang.

It was a call from Junlai’s mother. She said, “Junlai, where are you? It’s very late. Why aren’t you back?”

Hou Junlai said, “I’m having a gathering with my classmates. I’ll be back later.”

!!
When Hou Junlai’s mother heard about the class reunion, she immediately asked, “Is Jian Xing’er there?”

After a moment of silence, Hou Junlai said, “She’s also here…”

With that, Hou Junlai hung up.

Hou Junlai looked at Jian Xing’er, but then he quickly looked away.

Wang Shuai whispered, “Junlai, I think you and Jian Xing’er are quite compatible. Do you want to go over and have a drink with Jian Xing’er?”

Jian Xing’er forced a smile, but Hou Junlai said, “No need!”

Wang Shuai said, “Junlai, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but why did you divorce Jian Xing’er back then? Look, even the Li family has to listen to Jian Xing’er now. If you hadn’t divorced Jian Xing’er, you wouldn’t be in such a situation now.”

Previously, Wang Shuai had said that it was a good thing that Junlai got a divorce.

Now, Wang Shuai was saying that it would have been better if they didn’t get a divorce.

Hou Junlai remained silent.

There was nothing to say.

There were two reasons why Junlai wanted to divorce Jian Xing’er.

Firstly, Hou Junlai was always busy with the company’s affairs, but Jian Xing’er couldn’t help. Hou Junlai felt very tired and wanted to find a woman who could help him.

Secondly, Hou Junlai’s mother nagged him about divorcing Jian Xing’er as soon as possible every day. Hou Junlai couldn’t stand it anymore, so he divorced Jian Xing’er.

Just like that, the two of them divorced.

But now, Hou Junlai really regretted it.

Everyone else in the Hou family regretted it as well, especially Hou Junlai’s mother.

There were already many empty wine bottles in front of Jian Xing’er, but she had no intention of stopping and kept drinking.

Of course, this wasn’t because of Hou Junlai.

The reason why Jian Xing’er drank so much was because of her parents and brother who had died so unjustly.

Back then, Jian Xing’er had a conflict with someone in school, so the school said that they wanted to expel Jian Xing’er. When Jian Xing’er’s parents found out, they immediately drove to school with Jian Xing’er’s brother.

On the way, Jian Xing’er’s parents and brother encountered an assassin and got killed.

In order to cover up the truth, the killer even burned the corpses with gasoline.

By the time her parents and brother were discovered, their bodies were already charred.

This matter was Jian Xing’er’s sorespot.

Jian Xing’er believed that if she hadn’t done something wrong, her parents and brother wouldn’t have died.

Although she found out that those assassins had long been prepared to attack her parents and brother, and that their deaths were not her own fault, Jian Xing’er still blamed herself and lived in guilt every day.

When she thought of her younger brother, who was still very young, Jian Xing’er’s heart ached so much that she could barely breathe.

The day of her parents and brother’s accident was her brother’s birthday. Jian Xing’er had even specifically prepared a birthday gift for her brother.

When everyone saw Jian Xing’er drinking non-stop, they knew that she was in a bad mood. However, no one dared to dissuade her.

A boy stood up and walked towards Jian Xing’er.

This boy was called Nangong Yi. He was handsome and always fantasized about marrying a rich woman one day. However, he was too arrogant, so he never succeeded.

Now, Nangong Yi felt that this was an excellent opportunity.

Nangong Yi raised his wine glass and said with a smile, “It’s boring to drink alone, so I’ll drink with you!”

As he spoke, he clinked his wine glass with Jian Xing’er’s and drank it in one gulp. Then, he picked up the wine bottle and filled it again.

Nangong Yi said, “Divorcing you is Hou Junlai’s loss. There’s no need to be sad over that scumbag. It’s not worth it!”

Nangong Yi felt that the reason Jian Xing’er drank so much was because of Hou Junlai.

Jian Xing’er was a little drunk, so she couldn’t hear what Nangong Yi said at all.

Nangong Yi didn’t waste any time. He said directly, “I’m also single now. We can register our marriage tomorrow if you’re willing to marry me.”

This was one of the few opportunities for Nangong Yi to marry into a wealthy family, so of course he couldn’t let it go easily.

At this moment, Hou Junlai’s mother walked into the private room and happened to hear what Nangong Yi said to Jian Xing’er.

Hou Junlai’s mother knew about Jian Xing’er’s relationship with the Li family, so she naturally couldn’t let Nangong Yi take advantage of the situation.

Slap!

Hou Junlai’s mother slapped Nangong Yi.

Hou Junlai’s mother said angrily, “A piece of trash like you wants to be with Jian Xing’er? Don’t you know that Jian Xing’er is the Hou family’s daughter-in-law?”
