Wan Yunting and Kang Nuolan left the training room and were heading back to the villa. They saw Butler Hou chatting with a tall young man in the garden.
"Huh, he looks so familiar!"
Upon seeing the young man, Wan Yunting narrowed his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Bing!"
As if sensing something, Hou Bing turned around and was astonished to see Wan Yunting at the villa entrance.
"Brother Bing, it really is you."
Wan Yunting happily walked over. This Hou Bing was his elder sister's ex-boyfriend.
"Yunting, long time no see."
Hou Bing smiled and shook his hand. "I saw the news recently that you were released from prison, and I was planning to visit you when I had time."
"Yes, I'm working at the Southern Hospital now. Let's have a drink together sometime," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
He and Hou Bing had a good relationship. Because of his elder sister, Wan Yunting had considered Hou Bing his future brother-in-law. However, due to unforeseen family circumstances, his elder sister Wan Manyu had chosen to marry the scumbag Cheng Kai.
"Little Bing, so you know Doctor Wan."
Butler Hou was surprised because Hou Bing was his son.
Hou Bing nodded and then said to Wan Yunting, "He's my dad."
"So Uncle Hou is your dad?" Wan Yunting was also surprised. It was too much of a coincidence.
Remembering something, he turned to Kang Nuolan and said, "You go up first, take another hour of medicinal bath, and I'll give you acupuncture later."
"Okay."
Kang Nuolan nodded. Butler Hou smiled and said, "Little Bing, you chat with Doctor Wan for a bit. I'll go help the young lady cook the medicine."
"Okay, Dad, you go ahead," Hou Bing nodded. Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Come on, Brother Bing, let's sit over there."
Hou Bing nodded and followed him to sit in the leisure pavilion in the courtyard. Wan Yunting handed him a cigarette, lit one himself, and exhaled smoke with a smile, "Brother Bing, are you developing in Hua Du now?"
"Yes."
Hou Bing also exhaled smoke and nodded with a smile. "I'm the security captain at Director Kang's company."
"That's great."
Wan Yunting smiled. Hou Bing waved his hand and looked at him, saying, "As for you, you spent seven years in wrongful imprisonment and have changed a lot. You've become a doctor."
"I'm a Chinese medicine doctor. I learned from an old Chinese medicine practitioner in prison. It's just a way to make a living," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
Hou Bing smiled and nodded. "It's a pity for a talented person like you. If it weren't for being framed and imprisoned by Chen Tao, with your abilities, you would definitely be dominating the business world in Hua Du."
"Alas, it's all in the past."
Wan Yunting waved his hand with a smile. After a few pleasantries, he sighed helplessly, "It's a pity that you and my sister couldn't end up together!"
Mentioning Wan Manyu, Hou Bing's expression changed slightly, and he smiled, "Heaven destined that my sister and I had fate but no destiny. There's really nothing to regret."
Wan Yunting nodded. He thought that if it weren't for the family changes, his elder sister and Hou Bing would probably be married by now.
Thinking about his elder sister marrying the scumbag Cheng Kai now, he wondered if Hou Bing knew that his elder sister had been subjected to domestic violence!
"It's getting late, I have to go back to work."
Hou Bing stood up immediately. He had come to visit his father and didn't expect to run into Wan Yunting.
"Okay, then I'll find you for a drink later," Wan Yunting also stood up and said with a smile.
"No problem."
Hou Bing smiled and nodded, then entered the villa with him.
"Uncle Hou, I need to open the Ren Du meridians for Nuolan. Please tell everyone not to disturb us upstairs. Even if Director Kang and the old madam return, they should wait until I come down!" Wan Yunting said seriously to Butler Hou.
"Yes, Doctor Wan, I will instruct everyone and keep an eye on things here," Butler Hou nodded in response.
"Okay, then I'll go up now." Wan Yunting nodded at Hou Bing, then turned and went to the second floor.
Hou Bing continued to chat with his father for a while. Suddenly, his phone rang. He took it out and saw the caller's name, his brow furrowed. He immediately said to his father, "Dad, I have to go back now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Butler Hou nodded. Hou Bing said nothing more, turned and walked out of the villa towards the main gate, pressing the answer button as he spoke, "Manyu, what's wrong?"
There was a pause on the other end of the line before she said, "Cheng Kai seems to have found out!"
Upon hearing this, Hou Bing's expression changed slightly. "Don't worry, I'll come find you now..."
Meanwhile, in the living room on the second floor, a nanny came out of Kang Nuolan's room and said, "Doctor Wan, the young lady is taking her medicinal bath."
"Okay, you can go down now."
Wan Yunting nodded, let the nanny go downstairs, then sat on the sofa in the living room, smoking and looking at his phone, waiting for Kang Nuolan to finish her medicinal bath before going in to perform acupuncture to open her Ren Du meridians.
As Wan Yunting was browsing the news of Hua Du, he was immediately drawn to a headline: "Wang Corporation's Former Chairman Wang Anrong Falls Critically Ill." He clicked into it, and it was an article about Wang Corporation being acquired and Wan Dongming appointed as the new chairman. Wang Anrong had been critically ill since spitting blood from anger last time and was still lying in the First People's Hospital.
This made Wan Yunting raise an eyebrow, as he then saw another piece of news about his second brother's mother-in-law, Zheng Peihui. She had gone to Wang Corporation to cause a scene at noon today, and the news was already all over the media, causing a great uproar.
Time rewound to 12:30 PM!
At Wang Corporation, the chairman's office now had a new owner, Wan Dongming.
"Mr. Wan, this is the company's recent market data survey."
The secretary was still the same one, handing over the data of the company's recent situation. Wan Dongming, sitting in the office chair, was looking at a stack of documents. "Put it on the desk. I'll look at it later."
Tao Xuan had no choice but to place the folder on the desk. She noticed that the lunch placed aside was still there and said, "Mr. Wan, please eat your lunch first, otherwise the food will get cold."
Wan Dongming looked up at her and smiled, "It's fine, I'll eat it later."
Tao Xuan nodded and said nothing more, then turned to leave. However, as she was about to open the office door, it was suddenly pushed open. Zheng Peihui walked in with a dark expression, full of anger, pointing at Wan Dongming and cursing, "You ungrateful wretch, how dare you sit in this position!"
Wan Yunting looked up and frowned, his eyes calmly fixed on his shrewish mother-in-law. Tao Xuan reacted and said, "Madam Zheng, Mr. Wan is busy. Please leave..."
"Mr. Wan, don't you know who used to sit in this chair?"
Zheng Peihui pointed at Wan Dongming and sternly yelled at Tao Xuan, "He's a good-for-nothing, what right does he have to be chairman? And this company originally belonged to our Wang family. If he hadn't colluded with outsiders and used tricks to acquire the shareholders' equity, he wouldn't be the chairman now!"
Wan Dongming, sitting in his office chair, remained calm, his gaze indifferent as he looked at Zheng Peihui, who was scolding him like a shrew. He said nothing.
"Wan Dongming, don't think that just because you and Chu Lin moved out, you're no longer part of my Wang family."
Zheng Peihui stepped forward to the desk, angrily pointing at Wan Dongming and fiercely admonishing him, "Let me tell you, this company belongs to my Wang family, and only my man can sit in this chairman's position. Get up..."
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Wan Dongming, trying to pull him out of the office chair...
"Enough!"
Wan Dongming, finally losing his temper, waved his hand and roughly threw Zheng Peihui aside. She fell to the ground with a thump. Tao Xuan wanted to help her up, but seeing Wan Dongming's dark and fierce expression, she was completely stunned.
"What right do I have not to sit in this position?"
Wan Dongming sat in his office chair, his eyes sharp, looking down at Zheng Peihui, who was sitting on the floor, and said coldly, "Mom, accept reality. Your Wang Corporation no longer exists!"
"Therefore, you are no longer that rich lady who can be arrogant and condescending. If you still want to keep everything you have, then you should learn to be smarter and stop bothering me!"
