Chapter 744: What If You Bet Wrong

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Seeing Ji Yuanyuan staring at her with wide eyes, the old lady asked in amusement, “Why? Are you interested in your Teacher Wu’s private life?”

“No, no, I didn’t mean that.” Ji Yuanyuan shook her head hurriedly.

“Teacher Wu’s private life has always been boring.” Old Lady Qi shook her head.

When the old man heard this, he also smiled and said, “Yes, I was very surprised when she was with Zhou Hua back then. One was a social butterfly, and the other was a humdrum. They were really not the same kind of people.”

“As it turns out, they are indeed not the same kind of people. Zhou Hua was busy as a bee, not worthy of Qiuhua. Your taste is also horrible. Back then, you spent a lot of effort to nurture Zhou Hua. Now, you don’t even call him during the holidays, right?” The old lady mocked the old man.

“I’m grooming my students. Is it only to receive a few phone calls during the holidays so that the house will be livelier?” The old man smiled bitterly. “As long as he could treat a few more patients and nurture a few more students, it would be fine.”

Ji Yuanyuan was dumbfounded.

“So, Zhou Hua is your student? Moreover, when they were young…” Ji Yuanyuan looked at the old man.

The old lady waved her hand, “This is all in the past. Zhou Hua is now the son-in-law of your school’s principal.”

The old lady seemed to be quite resentful.

Could it be that Teacher Wu and Zhou Hua had parted ways not only because of their differences in research topics?

Did Zhou Hua want to withdraw from Teacher Wu’s project because he hooked up with the principal’s daughter?

Ji Yuanyuan did not continue to ask. After all, no matter how deeply she asked, the old lady would not say anything more. It was not appropriate for her to ask anymore.

Twenty minutes passed quickly. The old lady had removed all the silver needles from Ji Zi’ang’s knees.

Ji Yuanyuan was not in a hurry to leave. She patiently disinfected the needles one by one before leaving with Ji Zi’ang.

Before they left, they thanked and bid farewell to the old lady and the old man.

It looked like she had completely pulled herself together.

Ji Zi’ang’s car was sold in a few days.

Li Xu and the others did not know how much he had sold it for. Since Ji Zi’ang did not tell them, they did not dare to ask.

She was afraid that Ji Zi’ang would be sad.

He borrowed some money from his classmates, but it only amounted to 200,000 yuan.

His classmates had just graduated more than two years ago and did not have much money on them.

It took a lot of effort to gather 200,000 yuan for him.

The money from selling the car, the money from Li Xu and Zhang Kun, and the two million yuan he borrowed.

In total, it was only 1.6 million.

He was still 400,000 away from 3 million.

The club had already given an ultimatum. If Ji Zi’ang still could not gather the money by April 15th, they would file a lawsuit.

Ji Zi’ang’s current situation was already so difficult. If he were to be embroiled in a lawsuit again, even if he completely recovered in the future and wanted to continue racing, no club would dare to take him in.

However, those who had a relationship with Ji Zi’ang could no longer borrow him money.

Unless he borrowed it from Ji Yuanyuan or his relatives or friends.

However, he really did not want to tell them.

After all, he was just a cripple to everyone now.

He didn’t want to see his relatives and friends look at him with pity.

As the 15th of April approached, dark circles appeared under his eyes.

Li Xu and Zhang Kun saw this and felt pain in their hearts.

The two of them secretly borrowed 500,000 yuan from Hu Chunli, thinking of a time to give it to Ji Zi’ang.

Hu Chunli had shares in the company and received many dividends over the years.

Other than buying a house in B City, she didn’t have much to spend.

Therefore, she had saved a lot of money over the years.

Yang Jingyi probably wouldn’t get married in a year or so because of her current situation.

When Li Xu spoke, Hu Chunli was quite straightforward.

The reason why Li Xu didn’t ask her family for money was that she was afraid that they would worry too.

500,000 yuan wasn’t much. It was just a few months’ worth of dividends.

When the dividends came, she would return Hu Chunli’s money first.

However, Li Xu and Zhang Kun had never found this opportunity.

On the other side, Ji Zi’ang’s chance came.

Shao Xiuqi called him and asked him to meet.

Ji Zi’ang used the excuse of meeting a friend to successfully meet Shao Xiuqi at a cafe near his house.

Shao Xiuqi did not come alone. He had brought a man.

The man was about thirty years old and looked very mature and steady.

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Ji Zi’ang with a scrutinizing gaze.

That gaze made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Shao Xiuqi introduced the two of them to each other, “Zi’ang, this is my friend, surnamed Lin. Lin Zhi, this is Ji Zi’ang, the brother-in-law of Mucheng.”

Lin Zhi nodded at Ji Zi’ang. He placed one hand on the button of his suit and reached out with the other, “I’ve watched your competition videos, Mr. Ji.”

“Hello, Mr. Lin.” Ji Zi’ang also reached out and shook Lin Zhi’s hand.

“Lin Zhi loves racing. He often collects some retired racing cars to study and modify them.”

Ji Zi’ang finally realized that the person Qin Mucheng mentioned earlier should be Lin Zhi.

“Xiuqi, you asked me out today…” Ji Zi’ang asked Shao Xiuqi.

After staying at Shao Xiuqi’s hotel for a while, the two of them could be considered to have gotten to know each other.

Therefore, they didn’t call each other Mr. Ji and Mr. Shao.

“Well, Lin Zhi wanted to invest in a club, so I recommended you to him.”

Ji Zi’ang frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he said again, “Are you serious or joking?”

“How could it be a joke?” Shao Xiuqi smiled bitterly. “Lin Zhi and I are serious.”

“You know my legs. I can’t provide the value that Mr. Lin wants, so I can’t agree to this proposal.”

Ji Zi’ang said calmly as he looked at Lin Zhi.

As he spoke, his hand gently rubbed his injured leg.

Shao Xiuqi’s mouth was wide open, and he actually didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Lin Zhi suddenly took out a few pieces of paper from the side and placed them in front of him.

“Mr. Ji, have you played stocks before?”

“No.” Ji Zi’ang shook his head.

Ji Zi’ang was not interested in these things. Furthermore, he did not have much money on hand.

“It’s very simple to make money from stocks. Buy at low prices and sell at high prices. But stocks are risky. A stock can go up or down. I bet you will go up.”

Lin Zhi was treating Ji Zi’ang like a stock.

This realization made him feel a little uncomfortable.

However, this was indeed an opportunity for him.

He needed money.

Therefore, he endured the discomfort in his heart and asked, “What if you bet wrong?”

Lin Zhi looked at him for a moment and suddenly smiled..
