"Ye Hao?"
Liang Yating murmured, as if she had heard the name somewhere before.
"President Liang, do you know him?" Jin Buhuan asked, looking at Liang Yating with curiosity.
"I've heard of him; this person certainly has some background, or else I wouldn't remember him so well. I just can't recall who he is at the moment." Liang Yating frowned, trying to think, wondering who on earth Ye Hao could be. She swore she had indeed heard the name Ye Hao, and had even been warned by those above her to avoid offending someone named Ye Hao.
However, she truly couldn't remember his identity.
"Haha, it seems my daughter's marriage might be in jeopardy." Jin Buhuan said with a wry smile. He knew very well what his daughter was like.
Liang Yating only smiled and said nothing. If she were a man, she wouldn't marry someone like Jin Huanxu either.
Then Liang Yating went off to attend to her affairs, while Jin Buhuan sat quietly on the sofa. After a long time, he opened the hand he had shaken with Ye Hao.
As he opened his hand, there was a note inside; it had been held for so long that it was a bit crumpled. He gently unfolded the note.
There were two lines of small text on the note. The first line read: If my assumption is correct, isn't Miss Jin Huanxu, the precious daughter of President Jin, in the presidential suite? Cruel means, forcibly altering a person's gender. Luckily it's early-stage; otherwise, it would be troublesome.
The second line read: Ye knows a bit about medicine. Based on my observation, Miss Jin was surely a beauty before, but alas⦠Contact me at the National Capital Grand Hotel tonight, and let's discuss further!
These two short lines made Jin Buhuan's eyes widen. As he stared at them, it was as if he had seen something unbelievable.
How did Ye Hao know his daughter was in the room? And what did Ye Hao mean by cruel means, forcibly altering a person's gender? Also, what was this alas?
Jin Buhuan's expression was caught by Jin Rui, who asked, "Master Jin, what's the matter?"
Jin Buhuan was pulled back to reality by Jin Rui's words; he handed the note to Jin Rui, still murmuring in disbelief, "This can't be, who on earth is he..."
Jin Rui opened the note and, upon seeing the two lines, his face instantly changed color. His first thought was whether Ye Hao had surpassed his realm; otherwise, how could he perceive Jin Huanxu in the room?
He then recalled that Ye Hao was probably at the eighth or ninth level of national martial arts. Although his realm was a bit vague, he still caught a hint.
"This is impossible!" Jin Rui muttered to himself.
"Jin Rui, how does he know?" Jin Buhuan's voice still carried a hint of disbelief as he asked.
"Master Jin, I don't know either..." Jin Rui said helplessly.
At this moment, the door inside the room opened, and a tall, burly woman, larger than most men, walked out.
She had some beard on her jaw, which didn't carry the mature vibe of a man's beard, instead, it detracted from her natural appearance.
Her eyes held a hint of desolation. She was in the room, aware of Qin Xiweng's intentions, which left her disappointed and filled with inferiority.
She used to be a striking beauty, but for some reason, she became more masculine by the day, until now, where she was neither like a man nor a woman.
She didn't even have the basic qualification to pursue a man.
She liked Qin Xiweng because he was cultured, talented, and a gifted individual. She fancied such a man, one who could manage a large company despite his young age.
Secretly, she had controlled the Jin Group and competed openly and secretly with Qin Xiweng in the Gold Stock Market. But alas, Qin Xiweng was too smart. At the start, he dumped a large amount of gold at a high price, causing her to unknowingly monopolize half of the high-priced gold, essentially allowing Qin Xiweng to earn a huge sum while he remained calm and didn't monopolize the high prices, waiting instead for her to do so. A month later, the Jin Group lost billions, while Qin Xiweng during this time profited several billion from the Jin Group as well as earning several more billions in the stock market.
There was no denying that Qin Xiweng had skills, which was why she was won over by him.
Until she secretly fell hopelessly in love with Qin Xiweng. She was so deeply in love that she could only ask her father for help. Even if she couldn't be with him, at least she had tried.
"Miss." Jin Rui respectfully called out when he saw Jin Huanxu come out.
"Haha, Uncle Rui, miss what? I'm already a man." Jin Huanxu's face was full of melancholy.
It was rumored that Jin Huanxu was ugly since childhood, which is why her father named her Jin Huanxu. In truth, it wasn't so. She asked her father to change her name so it wouldn't be more awkward to change it once she became a man.
"Miss, you are always the most adorable in my eyes." Jin Rui's face was filled with desolation. Such a good young lady, afflicted with such an ailment...
Jin Rui was in despair for a moment. Thinking of the note that Jin Buhuan had given him earlier, he quickly opened it.
The note mentioned that Ye knew a bit, and he looked at Jin Buhuan with excitement, asking, "Master Jin, look at this, Chairman Ye said he knows some medicine. What do you think?"
Jin Buhuan was also excited, but he wouldn't show it until his daughter became a real woman. He feared showing it now would disappoint his daughter.
"Uncle Jin, what's wrong?" Jin Buhuan's voice had a masculine tone as he asked.
"Miss, I..."
"Ahem!" Jin Buhuan coughed, fearing that Jin Rui would say it now, making Jin Huanxu happy for nothing.
Jin Rui stopped when he heard Jin Buhuan cough.
"Uncle Jin, what's going on?" Jin Huanxu asked again.
Jin Rui looked at Jin Buhuan, asking with his eyes if they should tell Jin Huanxu.
"Dad! What on earth is going on?" Jin Huanxu turned to ask Jin Buhuan.
Jin Buhuan was considering whether to tell his daughter. If Ye Hao couldn't help in the end, it would be pointless to make her happy now.
If Jin Huanxu's hope was dashed again, it would be troublesome.
"Dad, are you hiding something from me? Is my condition incurable?" Jin Huanxu asked, full of desolation.
Jin Buhuan clenched his teeth silently, thinking, "With my daughter in this state, what's the difference from disappointment? Might as well give her a bit of hope."
With that thought, Jin Buhuan looked at Jin Rui and said, "Show her!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Rui quickly handed the note to Jin Huanxu, excitedly saying, "Miss, there might be hope for your condition."
"Really?" Jin Huanxu was excited after hearing Jin Rui's words but soon became disappointed again.
"Really, take a look at this. Chairman Ye who just visited said he knows some medicine. Although he only knows a bit, currently, we can only..." Jin Rui wanted to say they could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive but stopped thinking about Jin Huanxu's situation.
"Haha, Uncle Jin, are we treating a dead horse as a live one?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to cast your votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
