Chapter 265: Chapter 263: Not Even Comparable to a Single Hair on Qin Zhao’s Head

Yao Jizhong had contacted a psychological expert to treat him, persuading him not to drop out, and so Chu Yan did not withdraw from school. His academic performance during his time at university was far more outstanding than the teachers had anticipated.

Therefore, Yao Jizhong both admired and felt compassion for this student.

"When did you get married? You didn’t even invite us teachers to the banquet, you really have no conscience," Yao Jizhong laughed, "I was actually planning on giving you a big red envelope when you got married."

"We haven’t had the wedding yet, I’ll definitely invite the principal and the teachers when the time comes."

Chu Yan was filled with gratitude towards Imperial University.

During the darkest time of his life, if not for these teachers lending him a hand, he himself didn’t know what he would have become after dropping out.

At least now, on the surface, he still appeared to be a person.

Sometimes he could even put on an act and play the good guy.

"Good, to think we were so fated to meet the bride ahead of time," Yao Jizhong now looked at Qin Zhao, his expression carried a few more shades of a venerable elder’s kindness.

Chu Yan explained to Qin Zhao, "I used to be a student at Imperial University, Principal Yao helped me a lot."

"That’s nothing, just what I should do as a principal," said Yao Jizhong indifferently, then he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Shangguan Jing.

His expression gradually became serious, "Two students from your archaeology department, they said they went mountain climbing, but then disappeared. What did the police say?"

Yao Jizhong was referring to Ye Qian and her boyfriend.

These two people had died in the tomb because of the gold.

Shangguan Jing sighed, "Let’s talk about this when we get back."

He already knew the truth, and since it involved two human lives, he hadn’t yet told Yao Jizhong.

Yao Jizhong had an uneasy premonition, and when the announcement for boarding came, he didn’t press the matter further.

-

Upon his safe return to Imperial City, Chu Yan wooed his wife back.

Although at night he really wanted to do something, he was worried Qin Zhao might get angry, so he dared not do anything and could only hug a pillow to sleep.

He didn’t dare hold Qin Zhao, afraid he couldn’t restrain himself.

Qin Zhao had not added his WeChat back yet, saying she wanted to see how he would behave.

Imperial Capital First District Hospital.

"Dr. Chu, Miss Xu has taken your appointment slot again."

A nurse came to tell Chu Yan, her expression troubled.

"I told her that you’re not seeing patients for the time being, but she’s still waiting outside."

Chu Yan’s work froze for a moment as he thought about what Xu Xingwen had done. He had yet to settle accounts with them, yet Xu Zhiwei insisted on making her presence felt in front of him.

A cold glint flickered through his phoenix eyes, "Since she wants to see me that much, let her come."

A few minutes later, the nurse brought Xu Zhiwei in.

"Cough, cough."

Accompanied by a bout of coughing, Xu Zhiwei sat down on the chair next to the office desk.

"Dr. Chu."

She held a handkerchief in her hand covering her lips, stained with traces of blood.

Her complexion pale, her demeanor delicate, "I cough up blood every day now, I’ve never had this before, does it mean I am about to die? Next year I’ll be twenty-five."

Chu Yan looked coldly at her handkerchief, his expression mocking, "Xu Zhiwei, getting your father to bribe a famous director to slander Qin Zhao, do you find that amusing?"

"Ah? I don’t understand what you mean."

Xu Zhiwei looked at Chu Yan with a baffled face and a hint of shock.

"You don’t know?" Chu Yan laughed coldly, "Then please don’t take my appointment slots in the future, I can’t help with your condition, you’d better seek someone more capable."

Xu Zhiwei’s complexion became even paler, her fingers clutching the handkerchief tightly.

"Chu Yan," her voice trembled, "why must you treat me this way? Even if it were just an ordinary patient on the brink of death, would you abandon their care so casually?"

"I have no desire to save someone who harbors hostility towards my wife."

"Your wife?"

Xu Zhiwei felt the word "wife" was like a piercing noise to the ears!

"Why do I harbor hostility towards her, do you not know?" Her emotions a bit agitated, hence her voice was not as gentle as usual but rather sharper.

"I don’t want to know."

Chu Yan’s indifference made her feel very heartbroken, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Can’t you be less heartless? I like you, I have since the first time you saved me! I’m about to die, can’t you grant me this wish?"

Xu Zhiwei almost begged, "Chu Yan, can’t you divorce her? After I die, you can remarry her, just take pity on me!"

"Do you not understand that I am at odds with Xu Biqing? And she is your aunt."

"What kind of aunt is she!"

Xu Zhiwei was filled with resentment towards Xu Biqing, even promising excitedly, "As long as you are with me, I can help you, and the Xu family can help you, too.

Xu Biqing took everything from your mother, don’t you want revenge on her? With my father’s help, you can easily take down the Lu family and make Xu Biqing pay the price!"

"Xu Biqing is your family’s daughter, your own aunt, do you think I would believe that?"

Xu Zhiwei urged fiercely, "For you, I can disown that aunt. My dad listens to me, and if you became his son-in-law, how could he not help you?

Besides, my dad has said he hopes you become his son-in-law. With me as his only daughter, you could later inherit the Xu family’s assets."

The day Xu Biqing came to warn her, Xu Zhiwei had made up her mind. If Chu Yan truly chose her, and if he wished to take on the Lu family, she would definitely help him!

She was just her aunt after all, why should Xu Biqing interfere with her choice? Should she give up the man she loves just for Xu Biqing’s feelings?

Impossible! She was prepared to give her all to be with Chu Yan!

"Truly a tempting offer." Chu Yan chuckled lightly, but his laughter didn’t reach his eyes, and his dark phoenix eyes were filled with cold irony.

"Sadly, these conditions aren’t worth even a single hair from Qin Zhao."

"You...!" Xu Zhiwei hadn’t expected that after saying so much, willing to betray her own aunt for him, she would receive such a response.

That sentence was like a sharp knife! It stabbed viciously into her heart and lungs!

With a spurt, Xu Zhiwei coughed up a mouthful of blood.

She felt dizzy and was on the verge of fainting.

That dignified and cultivated man still looked at her so callously, like a saintly lotus on a snow mountain, aloof and unattainable.

On him, there seemed to also be a snowy chill.

Making Xu Zhiwei feel a bone-deep coldness in her heart, longing for death. Yet she also felt an extreme unwillingness. Why should someone else receive his love, receive the tenderness that shouldn’t belong to frost and snow?

He was indifferent.

He should be indifferent to everyone, without exception!

Xu Zhiwei became more agitated the more she thought about it, and she fainted on the spot. Chu Yan would not catch her, merely summoning two nurses to drag her away.

When everyone had left, he opened his desk drawer and took out a recorder pen from inside.

Playing with the recorder pen for a while, Chu Yan pressed the stop button, a mocking curve appearing on his lips.

"Truly foolish."

He didn’t like foolish women.

Even though Qin Zhao sometimes fell for his tricks, it didn’t take her long to catch on. And if Qin Zhao didn’t catch on, it wasn’t that she was foolish, but rather it was endearing.

However, he dared not deceive Qin Zhao any longer.

The cost of being caught deceiving Qin Zhao was too great. He hadn’t held her in his sleep for several days now!
