One Useless Rebirth-Chapter 234: Huadiao Wine (1)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

“Seafood porridge?”

The doctor asked Qin Li provokingly who was going to feed Zeng Peizhong, then he grabbed a spoon to stir the porridge and checked the ingredients, he frowned at Qin Li, “Ms. Qin, I don’t understand, do you know Mr. Zeng can’t eat seafood?”

Here we go again, “the rice is going to be too hard to swallow for Mr. Zeng”, “The porridge you made is too clumpy”, Qin Li had enough!

She put the bowl heavily on the table and raised her volume, “Are you done finding fault with me? What do you want, to starve Peizhong? Are you the employer or I am the employer? Do you think I’m trying to kill my husband or what? Quit it, otherwise you will get sacked and… …”

“I’m allergic to seafood, you don’t know that, Li?” replied Zeng Peizhong, he stared at Qin Li gloomily.

Qin Li choked, she tried to defend herself clumsily while Zeng Peizhong totally ignored her.

“Thank you Doctor. Huang, I apologize to you on behalf of my wife, please feel free to grab yourself some lunch as well.” said Zeng Peizhong gently to the doctor.

“That’s completely fine,” Doctor. Huang comforted Zeng Peizhong gently, he bent down and straightened the blanket on Zeng Peizhong’s lap, “Mr. Zeng, I know you love your wife, but… … anyways, get better soon, I’m looking forward to having a drink with you in your villa in early autumn, that Huadiao wine you’ve been talking about.”

Hearing that, Zeng Peizhong smiled and he looked less gloomy, “I know… … don’t worry for me, I will have a drink with you, early autumn sounds perfect, something good will happen around that time.”

Qin Li tried to chime in, she forced a fake smile and asked, “What good things are going to happen in early autumn? I want to have a drink with you too, Peizhong, it’s been so long since last time we had a drink together.”

Zeng Peizhong looked at her and his smile got more meaningful, it looked somewhat crooked, “Sure, celebrate with me together.”

He touched Qin Li on her cheek, while Qin Li found that hand too chapped and it felt uncomfortable. She subtly avoided Zeng Peizhong’s hand, “What good things are about to happen in early autumn? I’m so curious now.”

‘Early autumn, didn’t the doctors say Zeng Peizhong’s last days will be around that time? Is it about his will? Hmm, if he really dies in early autumn, I surely can use a celebration.’

“You will find out soon, something really good.” Zeng Peizhong snuggled in his wheelchair and observed Qin Li’s expression. And he changed the subject, “Li, my lawyers just sent a message that Xiasong’s case is under control now, they are looking for the lightest penalty for him. Chunhua’s case goes on well, she got exempted from criminal punishment, and my lawyers had gave the two girls’ family a satisfying amount of money, they are quite happy. Chunhua will be back soon, say, two or three months.”

Now Qin Li’s fake smile turned sincere, “Peizhong, thank you so much, you are bedridden yourself, and you are giving them your all, people always say parents owe their kids in their last life, it is so true.”

“Yeah, I agree, parents are paying debt and one day the kids need to pay back as well.” replied Zeng Peizhong, his smile got meaningful again.

While Qin Li was too happy to realize that, seeing Zeng Peizhong was in high spirits now, she tried to bring something up, “Peizhong, I heard Huangdu now is officially bankrupt, shall we take care of that now? I know you’ve put a lot of efforts in this, your company Zhonglian really took a toll, we made some good preparation for this, but we had lost a decent amount of money. Zhonglian is a wedding gift to me and now it’s suffering so bad, this is all my fault… …” with that she looked like she was about to cry.

Zeng Peizhong was so fed up with her little show, he said indifferently, “Qin Li, cut it! I know you agreed to marry me because I promised you to give you Zhonglian, this is not the first time that you failed to take care of what I gave you. Years ago, you used the seed money that I gave you to pay your brother’s debt! Have you forgotten about that? I know the length you would go for money.”

Qin Li clenched her fist, she did not know why Zeng Peizhong acted all riled up suddenly, she tried to explain, “I was young and dumb back then… … Peizhong, I’m loving you with all my heart now, if you are still unsure about how I feel about you, we can get divorced and I won’t have a penny of your money. All I want is to spend your last days with you. I’m deeply sorry for what I have done to you… …”

“Ouch, you are hurting me.” Hearing that, Qin Li stopped massaging him on his legs.

Then Zeng Peizhong turned around and told his assistant to get him some food.

Qin Li was embarrassed that Zeng Peizhong ignored her little speech, she did not know how to continue her mind game.

“Huangdu doesn’t belong to you, and it won’t belong to you, so just quit daydreaming.” Zeng Peizhong said this to her impatiently, “And also, surely we can get divorced if you want to, you didn’t bring a penny when we got married and quite naturally you are not leaving with a penny. And I’ll ask my lawyers to leave Chunhua and Xiasong’s cases, Qin Li, all I want is some peace for the last days of my life, but, you are trouble.”

Qin Li was startled, she knew her strategy of “making concessions in order to gain advantages” failed, she gave way to a storm of weeping in the end and said what she said about getting a divorce was not what she really wanted to say.

Zeng Peizhong was now enjoying his meal like he did not hear what Qin Li had said.

Qin Li cursed him in her heart, ‘It’s all right, it’s just a few months, I will have everything I want after Zeng Peizhong dies.’

The talent show that Huading created with the TV station became a hit in early August, meanwhile Huading took over Huangdu and became a big name in show business.

The celebrities in Huading also benefited a great deal thanks to the success of the company, they are getting more and more publicity and better network in the business. The company also invested a few new shows, stealing all the thunder.

He Bai had worked his ass off in Huading the whole August, he texted Di Qiuhe when his new semester started, “I will take a break from Huading for a month, gotta focus on my study.”
