Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Hotel Disturbance, I am Shen Dongli’s Brother!
The elderly who have toiled their entire lives for their families and children, in their final moments, still worry about them!
Looking at the notes on the medical record, Qingwu felt a heavy weight in her heart.
If they proceed with surgery, there might be a chance to extend his life, but Elder Pei cannot accept a treatment plan that leaves his body covered in tubes!
To him, being unable to stay clear-headed in his final moments and lingering on groggily is utterly unbearable!
Chen Jianhong sighed and said, “I tried to persuade him. Initially, had he agreed to continue with surgery and hospitalization, if you performed the operation yourself, there might’ve been a glimmer of hope… but Elder Pei wasn’t willing!”
Qingwu felt a pang of sorrow in her heart!
All he cares about is how his hospitalization might affect the mood of the family, and disrupt her and Pei Jue’s marriage plans.
At this moment, the Pei Family should be immersed in joy and laughter.
How could he bear to collapse at such a time?
“The surgery holds only a thirty-percent chance of success, and even if it succeeds, he might remain in a hazy state, unable to stay awake, requiring constant care.”
“Exactly, he doesn’t want to turn into that version of himself!”
He’s a proud, dignified white-haired elder; he wishes to leave the world in his best form!
Qingwu understood his sentiments.
Elder Shen called, asking about Elder Pei’s condition. After hearing the details, there was a long silence on the other end.
After a while, Elder Shen let out a heavy sigh.
“At this age, it’s a blessing. Don’t be overly sad.”
“I’ll be at the hospital observing the situation over the next few days. Grandpa, please take care of yourself too.”
After all, they were lifelong friends and old comrades who shared the battlefield; Elder Shen was undoubtedly devastated as well!
“Grandpa knows what’s in his heart.”
After hanging up, Elder Shen sat silently in his rocking chair, holding a chess piece in his hand but unable to move it.
He murmured to himself, “Old Pei, I’ll allow you to reverse one move in this game. Just come back!”
The chess companion was absent, leaving only a withered sycamore leaf on the chair.
…
Shen Hotel.
The hotel lobby was brightly lit, resplendent in splendor.
A woman wearing high heels and sunglasses walked into the lobby arm-in-arm with the man beside her, her face filled with contempt!
“Where’s your manager? Get your manager out here!”
The receptionist replied politely, “Our manager isn’t available. May I ask what the matter is?”
“Then bring out Shen Yanhan! She should have some authority at the hotel, right?”
The receptionist hesitated and had no choice but to dial the internal line to call Shen Yanhan down.
Upon arriving in the lobby, Shen Yanhan looked at the woman before her and asked in surprise, “Wen Youjie? What’s going on here?”
The man beside Wen Youjie must be at least fifty years old, right?
Moreover, they had a child with them!
Judging from the child’s features, which were practically copy-pasted from the middle-aged man’s face, it wasn’t hard to tell the child was his biological son.
Shen Yanhan was still quite shocked!
These days, even kept mistresses dare to bring along their children for entertainment?
Wen Youjie took off her sunglasses and affectionately clung to the arm of the portly middle-aged man beside her.
“Darling, this is the good friend I mentioned to you, Shen Yanhan.”
“A good friend? What kind of rubbish qualifies to be friends with you?”
The middle-aged man’s gaze exuded a hefty layer of grease. “She looks decent enough. If she says some flattering words, I might even permit you two sisters to reunite…”
Before his hand could land, a small knife seemingly out of nowhere sliced a gash on his hand, leaving behind a streak of blood!
“Damn it!”
The man cursed angrily, as the sharp clatter of high heels against the floor echoed, carrying a trace of coldness.
Qingwu’s calm voice rang out, “Call the police.”
The middle-aged man clutched his injured hand. “You’re calling the police? I should be calling the police! Do you know who I am? You actually dared to attack me! In Beijing, no one dares treat me like this!”
Qingwu responded coldly, “Well then, congratulations—you’ve just met someone who will.”
Recently, the middle-aged man had been sweet-talked incessantly by Wen Youjie, to the point that he believed he ruled the skies!
He had convinced himself of his own bragging, even imagining he was a tycoon whom Beijing’s elite couldn’t afford to offend!
Shen Yanhan, knowing full well Wen Youjie’s character, suspected that these two were simply brainwashing each other into believing they were wealthy—mutual co-conspirators in their delusions, merely fooling pigs…
A pair of frauds—neither one could claim any real superiority!
Qingwu felt a trace of curiosity.
“Before causing trouble, didn’t you investigate whose hotel this is?”
The Shen Group’s massive logo was displayed prominently at the entrance; unless one was blind, it was obvious the hotel belonged to them!
The middle-aged man raised his triple-tiered chin.
Arrogantly declaring, “I’m sworn brothers with Shen Group’s boss, Shen Dongli. Am I not allowed to visit Shen Family’s hotel?”
Sworn brothers with Shen Dongli?
Qingwu found it peculiar. Did Shen Dongli gain a brother without her knowing?
Upon seeing Qingwu’s silence, the middle-aged man thought he’d successfully intimidated her and gave a cold laugh.
“You’re the manager here? Alright, I won’t make it difficult for you—upgrade my VIP suite and compensate me three million yuan, and I’ll settle this lightly. If not, and this matter reaches my big brother Dongli, you really won’t be able to handle the consequences!”
“Young girls out here making a living—it’s not easy. Three million isn’t much; treat it as paying me for supper.”
Qingwu remained silent for a moment.
Had it not been for a gathering of old friends from Beidou Star coming to Beijing and staying at her hotel, she wouldn’t have been here.
Unexpectedly, upon arrival, she encountered such an amusing scene…
“How pitiful—your extortion amount merely stops at three million.”
This appetite was marginally smaller than Lin Jingsheng’s.
Shen Yanhan chimed in, nodding along, “That’s the gist of it, President Shen. I’ll go call the police now!”
Seeing their persistent talk of calling the police, the middle-aged man’s expression turned slightly ferocious.
“Are you all incapable of understanding human speech? Calling the cops now won’t benefit you! I’m the victim here! Do you really want to end up in jail?”
Shen Yanhan retorted disdainfully, “We have full surveillance coverage in the hotel’s lobby. You were engaging in malicious harassment earlier, and you have no proof about who hurt you. If it turns out the heavens themselves wanted to punish you, what then?”
The middle-aged man reeled back in shock!
Indeed, no one had seen where the little knife had come from!
“Don’t think this absolves you! I’ll call my brother Dongli right now—we’ll see who ends up begging for mercy!”
Qingwu’s eyes remained chillingly indifferent.
“Go ahead.”
Wen Youjie clung to the middle-aged man’s substantial figure. “President Zhang, aren’t you sworn brothers with Chairman Shen? Let Chairman Shen speak up for you!”
Shen Yanhan looked at Wen Youjie with the expression reserved for idiots.
Knowing full well Qingwu was Shen Dongli’s biological daughter, how could Wen Youjie possibly encourage this fat slob Zhang to contact Shen Dongli?
Shen Yanhan wasn’t aware that Zhang originally built his wealth through pyramid schemes.
Wen Youjie had fully bought into Zhang’s narrative, believing he represented the pinnacle of upper-class society and was more powerful than the Shen Family!
Zhang, noticing Qingwu’s calm demeanor, sneered coldly.
“Should I call or not? Admit your mistake now—there’s still time!”
Qingwu moved her fingers; coffee was immediately brought along with a chair.
“Go ahead—call as many times as you’d like. If you won’t dial, I’ll dial on your behalf.”
