249 That’s my Business
Xie Yunjin didn’t know about all the business plans the two shared and his face fell the moment he heard Zhao Lingfeng’s suggestion.
He loudly rejected, “No, I don’t agree with this.”
Something was obviously off here. Why would he randomly give Lu Jiao ownership in Baohe Tang? It was impossible for Xie Yunijn to believe that this offer was innocent.
There was no way he was going to let this happen.
Xie Yunjin studied Zhao Lingfeng almost with hatred and hissed, “Owner Zhao, what are you planning on doing?”
Zhao Lingfeng’s mood was floating in the cloud now that Xie Yunjin was furious. How dare that guy mock him before?
“I respect lady Lu’s medical skills and want to share ownership with her. Where has your mind wandered to, scholar Xie?”
Xie Yunjin didn’t believe him one bit. That Dr. Qi was also a great doctor so why wasn’t owner Zhao giving him partial ownership? He obviously had a separate agenda.
Xie Yunjin turned to look at Lu Jiao, “To be paid for nothing is normally a scam. You have to be careful of this man.”
Lu Jiao didn’t want to fight so she merely said, “I will consider this carefully.”
She then looked up to answer Zhao Lingfeng and Qi Lei, “I will think about it and respond later.”
The reality was that Lu Jiao was going to take the offer. She’s brought so much profit to Zhao Lingfeng it was only right she received something in return.
Zhao Lingfeng snuck a smile and turned to leave. Before leaving, however, he made sure Xie Yunjin saw how arrogant he appeared.
Xie Yunjin watched those two leave coldly. He then immediately said to Lu Jiao, “Lu Jiao, I think you should stop going to Baohe Tang. That Zhao Lingfeng guy is dangerous. You should keep your distance from him.”
Before Lu Jiao could speak, Xie Yunjin added, “I know you’re a great doctor and enjoy treating patients. You can open your own clinic.”
Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow, “You think it’s easy to open a clinic? Without some kind of pillar supporting me, how do I dare to open a clinic? It’d be easy to get in trouble that way and I may end up dead without money.”
This was the very reason why Lu Jiao wanted to partner up with Zhao Lingfeng.
Lu Jiao didn’t want to discuss this anymore and concluded, “Enough now. I have my own plans. Don’t worry about it anymore.”
Xie Yunjin was persistent, “Lu Jiao, I object. That man has no good intentions.”
Lu Jiao was angry now. Impatient, she looked up at Xie Yunjin and warned, “Xie Yunjin, this is my business. Remember your role.”
She then left the room, leaving Xie Yunjin stunned. He thought of his relationship with Lu Jiao and realized that he had forgotten all about their current state.
Classmate Han couldn’t watch this any further. Why couldn’t Yunjin talk to Lu Jiao nicely? Why did he talk so harshly? It was a good thing and now it is ugly.
Classmate Han thought he should tell Xie Yunjin, “Yunjin, can’t you…”
Xie Yunjin interrupted him, “Classmate Han, I will walk you out.”
“Okay.”
The two strolled outside. Classmate Han watched the eerily cold Xie Yunjin and asked carefully, “Yunjin, are you still going to invite people over tomorrow?”
Xie Yunjin calmed himself down and said to Classmate Han in his usual tone, “Of course. Why not? I won’t have time to host after tomorrow. It’s rare for me to move and I must invite everyone over. Plus, Lu Jiao wants to change up the front courtyard so we must get together before.”
Classmate Han smiled, “Okay, then I will bring my wife and my two children.”
“Okay. Can you also spread the message to Zheng Zhixing, Du Yi, Li Wenbin, Jiang Yuansheng, and Luo Xinwu?”
Those were people Xie Yunjin got close to at school.
Other than hosting his friends, Xie Yunjin also wanted to find out which calculative man betrayed him.
He wasn’t going to get harmed by the same man another time. He must figure out who plotted all this. Only this group of people knew of his travel plans the night he rushed home and was hit by a horse carriage. Therefore, the culprit must be one of them.
Xie Yunjin walked classmate Han to his horse carriage and waited for it to leave.
Then, rather than going home, Xie Yunjin went to order some desks. Earlier, he had rented out a house with three rooms. Now, he was going to buy some desks and study materials.
Lu Jiao stayed in her room and started to design the front courtyard.
She wanted to make a kindergarten out of the front courtyard. She planned on getting rid of the flowers and grass in the middle and building a playground. She could make a slide and use wood to construct fake caves and monkey bars. On the side, she wanted to clear an area to make room for a field that could be used for morning exercises, tug-o-wars, jump roping, and other games.
As for the inside, she planned on making different areas that each had their own specialties. She wanted a language area, a math area, an agriculture area, an art area, a music area, a reading area, a game area, and a woodworking area.
Lu Jiao worked until night on the design. She was only interrupted by the noise of Xie Yunjin entering her room.
Xie Yunjin entered her room and sat in a chair. In a soft warm tone, he said, “Lu Jiao, let’s talk. I really don’t think you should accept the 30% ownership offer. Zhao Lingfeng obviously has an agenda. Are you certain you know what he’s after?”
Lu Jiao really didn’t want Xie Yunjin involved so she bluntly blurted out, “Xie Yunjin, this is my business.”
Xie Yunjin was stifled but he wasn’t mad. He continued, “I know it is. Even if it is, I don’t want you to be scammed by Zhao Lingfeng. It’s obvious he’s not a good guy.”
Lu Jiao almost laughed because of his tone, “What did he do to you to make you think he’s not a good guy?”
Xie Yunjin calmly analyzed, “Think about it, why would he give you 30% of Baohe Tang out of nowhere? Though I know you’re a good doctor, so is Dr. Qi. Why did he not make the same offer to Dr. Qi? It’s obvious he wants something. Don’t fall for it.
If you want to open your own clinic, I will help you think of a way. I can find you someone who can protect you.”
Lu Jiao wanted to ask him, what was the difference between you protecting my clinic versus me taking 30% ownership from him. I am not involved with either one of you.
However, she really didn’t want to dwell on this topic and simply responded, “I will seriously consider this.”
She stopped talking. However, Xie Yunjin could tell she was brushing it off and continued, “Lu Jiao, don’t you know that a person’s heart is hidden away inside them? He may appear like a good person, but who knows what disgusting activities are going on on the inside? You have to keep your distance. ”
Lu Jiao was already tired from designing the kindergarten all afternoon yet this man refused to shut up. Furious, she glared up at Xie Yunjin and almost yelled, “Shut up. This is my business and it does not involve you.” Then, just as angrily, she added, “Zhao Lingfeng is my friend. You need to be careful of your tone when you talk to him. I am kind and nice to all your friends. I hope you can do the same.”
