As soon as the cooperative project was mentioned, Liu Kai Xuan's brow furrowed deeply.
This You Feng Xia was a colossal "pitfall."
In the original story of Courtyard, You Feng Xia was Li De Yao's subordinate, and together they swindled their way through, heavily fleecing the beasts of the courtyard.
However, due to Liu Kai Xuan's arrival in this world, events had changed.
Li De Yao had already been executed years ago.
To his surprise, even though Li De Yao was gone, You Feng Xia still showed up.
After a brief moment of thought, Liu Kai Xuan took the folder from You Feng Xia.
In front of You Feng Xia, Liu Kai Xuan opened the folder and carefully examined its contents.
Then, Liu Kai Xuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Secretary You, I appreciate your good intentions!"
"However, I'm not very interested in your cooperative project."
"Ah, you're not interested?"
You Feng Xia retorted, "Chairman Liu, won't you reconsider?"
"This is a great project, it will definitely make a lot of money!"
"Alas!"
Liu Kai Xuan waved his hand dismissively, "If I wanted to do small projects worth tens of thousands, I could do them anytime!"
"Moreover, the scale of your project doesn't even meet our group's cooperation threshold!"
"I..." You Feng Xia was instantly speechless.
It was common knowledge to many that Liu Kai Xuan was a shrewd businessman who made a fortune.
Therefore, You Feng Xia had no immediate grounds to refute Liu Kai Xuan's words.
However, she felt extremely reluctant to leave just like that.
Liu Kai Xuan continued, "How about it, Secretary You, would you like to come in for a cup of tea before you go?"
"No, thank you!"
Since Liu Kai Xuan had already clearly asked her to leave, You Feng Xia had no choice but to depart.
After You Feng Xia left, Zhao Fei Yan couldn't help but sigh, "That You Feng Xia certainly has a lot of drive!"
"I can vaguely see your own past self, striving hard, in her!"
"Stop, stop!"
Liu Kai Xuan repeatedly shook his head and smiled, "I would never associate with a woman like You Feng Xia!"
"Fei Yan, we're a couple, you can't deliberately smear my reputation!"
"Hehehe..."
Zhao Fei Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, alright, I was just kidding!"
"You, a grown man, your business is getting bigger and bigger, yet your heart is becoming smaller and smaller?"
Zhao Fei Yan could never have guessed what Liu Kai Xuan was thinking at that moment!
You Feng Xia was what kind of person? She was a con artist!
Comparing me to You Feng Xia is a joke. This is something I, as a brother, cannot bear!
...
Time flew by, and another week passed in the blink of an eye.
One morning, Qin Huai Ru was awakened by a sharp, piercing pain.
Upon lifting the covers, Qin Huai Ru was utterly stunned.
Her knee joints had suddenly become round and swollen, which was terrifying.
"How could this happen? What is going on?"
Qin Huai Ru cried out in alarm and prepared to go to the hospital to have her condition examined.
As soon as she got off the kang, her body uncontrollably fell to the ground.
It was then that Qin Huai Ru was shocked to discover that not only were her knee joints terrifyingly swollen, but they were also extremely sore.
No matter how hard she gritted her teeth, she couldn't muster any strength, which was truly agonizing.
"Qin Hao, hurry and call your Uncle Sha Zhu over, quickly!"
Since Qin Huai Ru couldn't stand up, she had to ask Qin Hao to call for help.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to go to the hospital and would only be able to lie at home and wait to die.
Qin Hao responded and hurried towards Sha Zhu's house.
Sha Zhu had just woken up at that time and, upon hearing Qin Hao's call, immediately intended to check the situation.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jing Ru's voice suddenly came from behind: "Sha Zhu, stop right there!"
"I think you idiot are tired of living, aren't you?"
"Qin Huai Ru is a bottomless pit, let's not bother with her!"
Sha Zhu replied with a wry smile, "Jing Ru, no matter what, we are neighbors in the same courtyard!"
"Now that Sister Qin's condition is very serious, we can't just stand by and do nothing. I..."
"He Yu Zhu, listen to me carefully!"
Before Sha Zhu could finish speaking, Qin Jing Ru rudely interrupted him, "Qin Huai Ru is Yi Zhong Hai's wife!"
"She has nothing to do with you. Even Yi Zhong Hai isn't taking care of Qin Huai Ru now that she's sick. Why are you meddling?"
"I..."
Sha Zhu tried to argue, but was once again angrily rebuked by Qin Jing Ru, "If you dare to meddle again today, we'll get a divorce!"
"Alas..." Sha Zhu sighed helplessly and could only give up!
After Qin Jing Ru dragged Sha Zhu home by his ear, she said to Qin Hao.
"Don't come to my house to embarrass yourself anymore. If you have anything, go find Yi Zhong Hai, he's your real father!"
After being severely reprimanded by Qin Jing Ru, Qin Hao had no choice but to reluctantly go find Yi Zhong Hai.
Of course, Yi Zhong Hai would never get involved in Qin Huai Ru's messy affairs.
However, after receiving the message, Xiao Huai Hua, along with Xiao Dang, rushed over in a timely manner.
With the help of the neighborhood committee, Qin Huai Ru was sent to the hospital, and Xiao Huai Hua reluctantly paid a portion of her medical expenses.
The examination results from the hospital showed: Qin Huai Ru's condition was knee joint swelling caused by excessive limb fatigue.
With a period of rest and internal and external treatments, she would be able to regain her mobility.
According to the doctor's advice, Qin Huai Ru's condition did not require hospitalization.
But Qin Huai Ru, thinking about the medical expenses paid by Xiao Huai Hua, decided to stay in the hospital for two days to observe her condition.
As for how Xiao Huai Hua got the money, she wouldn't think too much about it.
Xiao Huai Hua still had some of the money she had borrowed from Liu Kai Xuan.
Now that Qin Huai Ru was stubbornly staying in the hospital, they had no choice but to let her be admitted.
...
That night, Liu Kai Xuan also encountered a major incident!
Ouyang Yu intercepted Liu Kai Xuan at the company entrance.
"Liu Kai Xuan, you unscrupulous bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
As soon as they met, Ouyang Yu lunged furiously at Liu Kai Xuan.
"Bang!"
Liu Kai Xuan tried to accelerate and drive away, but Ouyang Yu fiercely smashed the car window.
It was then that Liu Kai Xuan realized the seriousness of the situation.
As soon as Liu Kai Xuan stopped the car, Ouyang Yu rushed up and opened the car door.
