Chapter 625: Endless Talk
Yu Wei was led into a private room by a waiter. Jiang Bixing was already waiting there. Upon seeing Yu Wei, Jiang Bixing stood up and said, "You came pretty quickly! It's rush hour now, I estimate you'll be delayed on the road for at least an hour."
As Yu Wei spoke, he sat down and said, "I was lucky today. I had all green lights on the way here, and there was no traffic at all."
Jiang Bixing asked, "What would you like to eat? We've been waiting for you to order."
Yu Wei waved his hand: "I won't order. Just make a few dishes. We've known each other for a while, why be so polite!"
"Alright, I'll just arrange whatever's convenient then." Jiang Bixing then instructed the waiter, "Tell your boss to prepare some more refined dishes and drinks for us."
The waiter nodded to indicate that he understood, and closed the door behind them as they left.
Jiang Bixing pulled out four bottles of aged Moutai from beside him and said to Yu Wei, "Tonight, the two of us brothers can finish this task!"
Yu Wei glanced at the bottle and said, "I can't drink too much tonight; I have an important meeting tomorrow."
Jiang Bixing waved his hand and said, "Suit yourself. If you can't finish it, you can take it home."
"Take it back yourself. You don't know me, I only eat and don't take anything with me." Yu Wei refused Jiang Bixing's offer.
Jiang Bixing knew Yu Wei well, so he didn't force him. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay, drink as much as you want. I'll keep the rest here for next time."
After the dishes were served, the two started drinking and chatting.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Jiang Bixing finally asked Yu Wei, "Yu Wei, I have a question for you. Is someone in your brother-in-law's family sick?"
Yu Wei, who was about to pick up some food, put down his chopsticks after hearing Jiang Bixing's words and said, "Old Jiang, your information network is quite extensive, isn't it? Confess honestly, did you plant a spy next to my brother-in-law?"
Jiang Bixing laughed and said, "If I had planted a spy, would I need to ask you? I don't mean anything by it, I just want to find out the details and then visit him in the hospital. You know my relationship with your brother-in-law. When my grandmother was hospitalized, he not only visited her but also had your sister help him find the best specialist at their hospital. It's only right to reciprocate. But he certainly wouldn't tell me about this on his own initiative, so I had to ask you so I could have a chance to return the favor!"
Seeing that Jiang Bixing's words made sense, Yu Wei told him about the situation.
"My brother-in-law's aunt is in the hospital. My mom said it's coronary heart disease. I'm planning to take my wife to visit her in the next day or two."
"Aunt?" Jiang Bixing was somewhat confused. Was it really worth it for his aunt to travel all the way back from Hong Kong when she was sick? It would be understandable if it were his own parents or other immediate family members, but his aunt?
Seeing Jiang Bixing's expression, Yu Wei knew that he didn't understand the situation. However, considering that Jiang was a decent person, Yu Wei decided to reveal some things to him.
"Old Jiang, you don't know, do you? My brother-in-law's aunt is almost the same as my brother-in-law's biological mother. My brother-in-law was raised by his aunt and grandmother since he was a child. When he was in school, he would go to his aunt's place for winter and summer vacations every year. To be honest, my brother-in-law is closer to his two cousins than to his two brothers."
Upon hearing Yu Wei's words and considering Huang Xiaochuan's hasty return from Hong Kong for his aunt, Jiang Bixing understood that this aunt held a very important place in Huang Xiaochuan's heart.
Jiang Bixing raised his glass and clinked it against Yu Wei's, then said, "Oh, I see! I'll go visit him at the hospital tomorrow. By the way, which hospital?"
After finishing his drink, Yu Wei put down his glass and said, "It's at the hospital where my sister used to work."
"Ruijin!" Jiang Bixing knew about this.
When Jiang Bixing found out, Cao Charlie also found out. Cao Charlie then informed Nan Hui, Huang Boyi, and Zhang Sui, who was in the United States. Well, except for Zhang Sui, who was in the United States and couldn't come back, the next day, Cao Charlie took some important executives of Dadao Group and took the earliest flight to Shanghai. Huang Boyi and Nan Hui also took separate flights to Shanghai.
That day, after having breakfast, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang decided to go to the hospital to visit their aunt.
Zeng Lijuan discussed with the two of them, saying, "Xiaodong and Xiaoduo can stay at home with me. There are too many germs in the hospital, so the children shouldn't go. We'll take them to visit their great-aunt after she's discharged from the hospital."
The couple felt that their mother's words made sense, so they didn't bring the two little ones with them. Instead, they traveled to the hospital in two separate vans, one in front of the other.
My aunt has been moved from the intensive care unit to the international ward of Ruijin Hospital. The environment here is better, and most importantly, it's a single room with a special bed for family members to accompany her.
When Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang arrived, Zeng Xia brought out stools for them to sit on.
"Little brother, Yu Xiang, please have a seat!"
Huang Xiaochuan didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he checked on his aunt's complexion. After not seeing her for two days, she looked much better, with a rosier complexion. It seemed she was recovering very well.
Huang Xiaochuan asked, "Auntie, have you had breakfast?"
Before her aunt could speak, Zeng Xia interjected, "I've already eaten. Mom wanted to eat wontons, so I made some at home and brought them over. She ate most of a bowl."
Huang Xiaochuan nodded. It was good that he wanted to eat and could eat. Now he was completely relieved and sat down.
Seeing that their aunt was in good spirits, the mother and her children started chatting. Just as they were talking, Gao Song came in and said, "Mr. Huang, Dr. Ji has arrived. She wants to see Madam."
"Is it Ji Mei?" Yu Xiang immediately stood up upon hearing this.
"Yes, madam."
"Let her in, no, I'll go out!" Yu Xiang originally wanted to let Ji Mei in, but after thinking about it, she decided to go out to see her friend.
Upon exiting the ward, Ji Mei, dressed in a white coat, was stopped outside by bodyguards.
Yu Xiang, disregarding her image, quickly ran to Ji Mei, and the two sisters hugged each other.
"I didn't believe it at first, but Sun Ling told me, so I came over."
Yu Xiang looked around but didn't see Sun Ling, whom Ji Mei had mentioned, so she asked, "Where's Sun Ling?"
"She had several surgeries this morning and couldn't come, but she recognized you at a glance and immediately called me. Yu Xiang, you're not being fair. You came back without telling me. Do you even consider me your friend anymore?" Ji Mei had endless things to say to Yu Xiang.
Suddenly, Ji Mei grabbed Yu Xiang's hand and started looking her up and down, which puzzled Yu Xiang. Just as she was about to speak, Ji Mei said, "Let me take a good look at our richest man's wife."
"Go away, go away, you're just joking with me." Yu Xiang pretended to be unhappy and pushed Ji Mei away.
The two were classmates and best friends for over ten years. Having not seen each other for more than a year, they naturally had a lot to talk about, so they sat on the rest chairs in the corridor and chatted.
After the two chatted for more than ten minutes, a dozen people suddenly appeared in the corridor, carrying flowers and fruit and walking towards them.
