Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter 235 : Broke but Still Pretentious



Long Xiaoshan and Wang Sihai entered the hotel and took a look around.

It had to be said, the grand hotel was lavishly decorated, and its facilities were clearly a cut above those at the Lily Hotel. While the Lily Hotel was only three-star, this one was four-star and it was among the elite within the four-star category.

Long Xiaoshan first accompanied Xiaoshan to a private conference room.

"Brother Long, I'm going to deal with some contract issues with the lawyer now. Later, I'll call the hotel's senior management to meet you. Do you want to go to the upstairs lounge and wait?" asked Wang Sihai, knowing that Long Xiaoshan did not like complicated matters, so he prepared everything himself.

"No need, I see there's a restaurant over there. Chun Tao and I will sit there, have something to eat. You go ahead with your work," Long Xiaoshan waved his hand and said.

"Alright, Brother Long, you and your wife enjoy your meal. I'll come and get you later," Wang Sihai said.

Long Xiaoshan nodded and took Chun Tao into the restaurant.

There were some guests enjoying their morning tea.

Long Xiaoshan sat down, ordered some char siu, xiaolongbao, and other breakfast items, along with two cups of black tea.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Little Xiaoshan, are you saying this place will belong to you from now on?" Chun Tao looked around at the opulent four-star restaurant filled with neatly dressed people and felt it was incredible.

"Yes," Long Xiaoshan smiled slightly and said, "From now on, you will be the lady boss here."

Hearing the term 'lady boss.'

Chun Tao's face flushed a little, but she was still worried. The hotel was too luxurious, and she felt somewhat apprehensive walking inside it.

How much money would this hotel cost?

And to think it was given away just like that.

"Won't there be any problem with that, I mean, with Boss Wang..." Chun Tao stopped midway.

"What about him?"

"He...he doesn't seem like a good person."

"Hahaha," Long Xiaoshan laughed and shook his head, "then do you think I am a good person?"

"Of course, you are a good person."

"But I have killed people."

"That's different, you killed bad guys."

"That's because you like me. In many people's eyes, I am a bad guy, at least in the eyes of those I've killed, I am very bad. So, there is no absolute good or bad person, in this world, often there are only the strong and the weak..."

As the two chatted idly,

a doubtful voice suddenly interrupted, "You are... Chun Tao?"

Long Xiaoshan turned his head.

A woman in a red dress stood by, heavily made up and quite attractive.

"Oh, you are Cui Juan, what are you doing here?" After recognizing her, Chun Tao stood up and said.

She hadn't expected to encounter her middle school classmate.

Cui Juan was not only in the same class as her in the village's middle school but also from the same village. However, Cui Juan was quite opportunistic; even in middle school, she liked to hang out with a few of the richer boys in class and was rumored to have been sleeping with boys since then, which gave her a bad reputation.

Later, she didn't partake in the middle school final exams and dropped out to work in the county.

I never expected to encounter her here; it had been many years since she was married off to Longyang Village.

"Of course it's me. I wanted to ask you, how come you are here too? Are you working in the city as well?" Cui Juan asked.

"Oh, I'm not. I am actually studying right now," Chun Tao replied.

"You're studying?" Cui Juan chuckled with a sneer, glancing at Long Xiaoshan dressed in cheap street market clothes, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes, "Who is he? Is he your boyfriend or your husband?"

"I am his husband."

Long Xiaoshan stood up and extended his hand.

However, Cui Juan ignored his hand and turned her head, waving and saying, "Darling, I'm over here."

A man dressed in a suit and leather shoes approached, his eyes lighting up upon seeing the pure and lovely Chun Tao, and he quickly said to Cui Juan beside him, "Juanzi, who is this? Why don't you introduce me to her?"

"This is Xu Chuntao, my classmate and also from the same village. This is her husband," said Cui Juan, her arm entwined with the suited man's, her tone somewhat sour.

She noticed Li Ronghao walking over, his gaze fixated on Chun Tao, and immediately felt a sour sensation inside. Back in class, the boys had preferred flocking around Chun Tao. Despite the attention she herself got for being coquettish, it was clear those boys were only around her because she would let them take advantage of her, while Chun Tao never played with the boys and yet received more secret admirer notes than anyone else.

She thought herself no less than Chun Tao; this young woman was just good at playing the innocent.

When Li Ronghao heard Xu Chuntao was from the same village as Cui Juan, he felt a stirring in his heart.

He knew Cui Juan's village was very poor.

So, Xu Chuntao mustn't be wealthy, either.

Judging by her clothing, which looked like it cost a few hundred yuan at most, and as for the man beside her, dressed in shoddy street goods, he deemed them unworthy of his attention.

"Hello, I am Li Ronghao, the assistant manager of the hotel. It's a pleasure to meet you," Li Ronghao said with an air of arrogance, extending his hand, a gold Rolex peeking from his suit sleeve.

He believed that revealing his status as the assistant manager of a four-star hotel would certainly impress this woman from a small mountain village.

However, he didn't expect Long Xiaoshan to disregard his hand and even pull Chun Tao to sit down.

Li Ronghao's hand froze stiff in the air, his expression darkening.

"Chun Tao, what does your husband mean by this?"

Cui Juan, seeing Li Ronghao lose face, quickly shouted out loud.

She had finally managed to latch onto a wealthy man like Li Ronghao, who was also the manager of a four-star hotel. Even though she was only his mistress, she had originally been relegated to singing for patrons at KTV lounges, and now she had a wealthy man on the hook, she was certainly clinging to him tightly.

Chun Tao, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "Cui Juan, I'm sorry. My husband has a bad temper."

"He has a bad temper? My temper is even worse. Poor and yet trying to act high and mighty," Cui Juan said with a nasty tone.

Chun Tao's face also began to sour. She was usually gentle, but she couldn't tolerate others speaking ill of Long Xiaoshan, saying, "Cui Juan, you can talk about me, but do not speak about my husband like that."

"Wow," Cui Juan was surprised to hear Chun Tao talk back.

In the past, Chun Tao was the easiest to bully in class.

In the dormitory, they would always make her do all the chores.

"I can't even talk now? Just look around, is this a place where you can come in? Husband, look at them, did they sneak in here? Didn't you say that this place is not open to the public and only available to hotel guests?" Cui Juan said.

Li Ronghao's eyes narrowed slightly as he said with a faux smile, "You didn't have to mention it, I almost forgot. Our hotel's restaurant is only open to hotel guests. Are you staying here?"

The standard room at the Lily Hotel cost 888 for one night, and he didn't believe these two could afford it.
