After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God Chapter 56 – Offended Someone Great

Chapter 56: Offended Someone Great

_Min_

Even the Zuo family, a prominent family in Lin, aspired to join the inner circle of the city of Sijiu’s influential families.

The Chen family, by comparison, would barely qualify as a minor family in Sijiu.

So when it came to dealing with people from Sijiu, the Chen family dared not slack off.

“Hello, hello, this is the Chen family,” Mr. Chen spoke in a very submissive tone. “May I ask what important matter necessitates your direct call?”

“There is a matter, but it’s not important,” the voice on the other end was cold.

“At the beginning of this year, the Chen family secured a contract in the Eastern District, worth a billion.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Mr. Chen hurriedly agreed. “We will surely execute this contract to the best of our abilities, you have my word.”

“You don’t need to. The contract has been revoked,” the voice said with a detached chuckle. “You can stop your preparations.”

Before Mr. Chen could even react, the call was terminated, leaving behind only the cold, mechanical tone.

Mr. Chen looked horrified, his mind buzzing, completely stunned.

“What happened, dear?” Mrs. Chen was impatient. “Come on, spill it. What good news do you have?”

Mrs. Chen, originally a NEW MONEY, had successfully married into the Chen family. But she had always been looked down upon by the authentic socialites of the upper class.

If the Chen family could gain entry into Sijiu’s circle, those high-society women would eventually have to cozy up to her.

“What are you yelling about?” Mr. Chen, unable to contain his anger, slapped Mrs. Chen. “All you know is to yell. What else can you do? Are you annoying or not?!”

Mrs. Chen covered her face, in disbelief. “You actually hit me?”

“Shut up!” Mr. Chen roared, his anger at its peak. “Be quiet!”

Mrs. Chen didn’t dare utter another word.

The butler didn’t dare even lift his head.

Mr. Chen’s hand trembled as he dialed another number.

Once connected, he quickly said, “Mr. Fu, the contract from the Eastern District, wasn’t it promised to the Chen family? We’ve already started the project. Why revoke it now?”

If the contract was revoked, not only would the Chen family lose out, but they would also incur a loss of three hundred million.

“Sorry,” the voice on the other end was calm. “The higher-ups decided to revoke it. I can’t change it.”

Mr. Chen broke out in cold sweat, his face turning ashen. “The higher-ups?

May I ask—I‘

“If Mr. Chen has the time to ask, he should think about who the Chen family might have offended recently,” the voice interrupted. “I can’t provide any other information, but I can give you a heads-up.”

“For the foreseeable future, don’t even think about entering the city of Sijiu.”

“Clang—”

The phone fell to the ground.

Mr. Chen stood there, eyes vacant, at a loss for words.

The “foreseeable future” meant at least a decade.

It’s over… we’re ruined!

Finally grasping the gravity of the situation, Mrs. Chen broke down in tears. “What are we going to do now, dear?”

“All you know is to cry!” Mr. Chen snapped impatiently, then immediately ordered the butler, “Quick, find out which important guests have been in contact with the Chen family recently.”

The butler hurried off to prepare.

Mrs. Chen still held a glimmer of hope. “Dear, about that girl the Zuo family adopted…”

Mr. Chen was even less patient. “Handle it yourself!”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Mrs. Chen didn’t dare say more and withdrew.

Still at his wit’s end, Mr. Chen started making more calls.

He had to find out as soon as possible who in the city of Sijiu the Chen family had offended; otherwise, it would be a catastrophe.

Back at the Hospital.

The woman continued to apologize to Si Fuqing, “I haven’t seen my sister for over twenty years; I had no idea she had become such a person.”

“Aunt Mu, you don’t have to apologize on her behalf, ” Si Fuqings expression remained nonchalant. “I make it a point not to argue with the intellectually challenged. ”

“I’ve heard from the chief surgeon that it was you who administered the emergency aid, allowing them to successfully operate on me,” Mu Qingmeng couldn’t help but smile. “Others may not know, but I am well aware of how skilled you are in medicine. Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.”

“Your chronic heart condition has weakened your body over the years, ” Si

Fuqing pondered for a moment before pushing her phone toward the woman. “Consider taking these herbs; they might improve your health.”

The screen displayed a memo listing several herbs.

“Alright, I’ve taken note,” Mu Qingmeng said gravely. “Your life-saving grace won’t be forgotten; I will repay it.”

Si Fuqing paused, then said. “Don’t take it to heart.”

Mu Qingmeng found herself increasingly fond of the young woman. She hesitated briefly before cautiously asking, “I’ll be staying in the hospital for a while. If you have the time, could you come and chat with me?”

“Hm?” Si Fuqing lifted her eyes, her fox-like gaze curving. “I’d quite enjoy conversing with someone as learned as Aunt Mu, but I have work commitments today. I must be going. ”

“Of course, of course,” Mu Qingmeng grinned. “I’ll be waiting for you.”

Back at the ‘Youth With You’ Training Base.

Upon entering the dance studio, Xu Xiyun pointed to a box on the floor. “Teacher Si, a Miss Jiang sent this for you. She said to eat some if you feel dizzy.”

“Hmm?” Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow.

She opened the box to find three layers of assorted, exquisitely made pastries, infused with a subtle aroma of tea.

Taking out her phone, Si Fuqing sent a message to Jiang Changning.

[Ningning, let’s get married. You meet all my criteria for a spouse.]

[Jiang Changning]: …

[Jiang Changning]: May I ask what those criteria are? Si Fuqing propped her chin and leisurely typed two words.

[Can cook.]

[Jiang Changning]: …You win.

[I assure you, who wouldn’t want a gentle partner who greets you with a hot meal and looks good doing it?]

[Jiang Changning]: Smile.jpg

Savoring the desserts Jiang Changning had sent her, Si Fuqing sighed in contentment.

Xu Xiyun looked longingly at the pastries, his mouth watering.

They looked so delicious.

“Don’t even think about it,” Si Fuqing smirked as she took another bite right in front of him. “I have a fast metabolism; do you?”

Xu Xiyun:

My apologies, I should leave.

“Teacher Si,” at that moment, the door to the dance room was knocked upon. It was a staff member from the show. “The producer and director are looking for you.”

Si Fuqing’s eyes narrowed. She set the box down and dusted off her clothes.

“Let’s go.”

In the backstage office were the director and planner, and one other person.

“Here’s the situation, Teacher Si,” the producer lit a cigarette and got straight to the point, his tone relatively mild. “Regarding the incident where you saved someone by performing emergency aid, we don’t want it to escalate. We’re about to have our first performance and we don’t want to see any negative news about this on social media..”
