After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

"Dr. Xu, what are you standing there for? Come over and greet President Zhou!"

He thought that since they were all young people, if Xu Daikui could make connections with such people, she might be able to treat patients at a top-tier hospital in the future.

Otherwise, all those skills and advanced degrees would be wasted.

"Okay."

Just as Xu Daikui hesitated and was about to step forward, a group of people suddenly got out of the car behind Zhou Yanci's Maybach.

The one leading them was Xu Jiaojiao.

"Aci".

She was wearing a sleek purple suit and high heels, her hair tied back. As soon as she came over, she looked at Dean Zhao.

"No need for you to introduce me. Dr. Xu is my sister. Ah Ci and I are very familiar with her."

Dean Zhao turned his head in surprise and looked at Xu Daikui.

The latter's gaze lingered on Zhou Yanci, who was standing next to Xu Jiaojiao.

"Xiao Xu, do you two know each other?"

Xu Daikui's thoughts were pulled back by the voice. She turned her gaze, nodded slightly, and asked the dean, "You also invited people from the People's Hospital?"

She had just seen several men get out of Xu Jiaojiao's car. They were all chief physicians from the People's Hospital, one of whom was someone who had helped her when she gave birth to Xu Meng.

Seeing him appear with Xu Jiaojiao, she was a little worried that her past as a mother would be exposed.

"Hmm, didn't you know? Six years ago, your sister fostered a sick kitten here. Since then, she has had a connection with this hospital. Now she is a top doctor at the People's Hospital and has invested a lot in our pet hospital."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Yanci initially invested in this nearly bankrupt hospital because he was afraid his sister's sick cat would become homeless.

She almost got the wrong idea.

What an irony.

She was born living in her sister's shadow, and yet she keeps clinging to something.

My heart felt like it had been brutally tortured again, and my whole body started to ache.

"Dai Kui, Mom and Dad said yesterday that you haven't been home for a long time. What happened? They're worried about you."

Xu Jiaojiao looked at Xu Daikui at this moment, her voice warm and friendly.

"Ms. Xu, this is working time, and I don't want to discuss personal matters."

Xu Daikui and Xu Jiaojiao had a complete falling out from the day they got married.

She clearly remembered how wicked and crazy Xu Jiaojiao was that night, so she really didn't want to maintain this superficially peaceful greeting.

Whatever.

Seeing her rudeness, Dean Zhao glared at her and then laughed it off at everyone.

Xu Jiaojiao seemed unconcerned and laughed, "It's alright, Dean Zhao. My sister has always been straightforward, I can tolerate her."

The atmosphere froze slightly as she finished speaking.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Zhou Yanci broke the awkward silence by taking the lead and stepping into the courtyard.

Xu Jiaojiao followed closely behind, and the two walked side by side.

As she watched the group pass by, Xu Daikui's eyes showed a hint of weariness. Just as she was about to turn around and go to the restroom to rest, a man in a suit and tie suddenly walked towards her from the crowd.

"Dr. Xu, it's been a long time."

The man wore gold-rimmed glasses, had fair and delicate skin, and exuded an air of scholarly refinement.

His name is Shen Jun. When she was eight months pregnant, she was walking down the street one day when her stomach suddenly started to hurt.

She stood by the roadside for a long time without being able to hail a taxi. When the man saw that she was in so much pain that her face was pale and that she was in late pregnancy, he stopped his car and took her to the hospital.

The two met because of this, and it just so happened that he was a doctor at the People's Hospital. He also helped her a lot with the subsequent matters related to her delivery.

They met by chance, and she was very grateful to him. But then Xu Jiaojiao also ended up at the People's Hospital, and they even became colleagues.

"Hello, Mr. Shen," Xu Daikui greeted him with a light laugh.

"Don't call me that old-fashioned. We're about the same age. Just call me Shen Jun."

Xu Daikui nodded and smiled, "Then don't be shy, just call me Xu Daikui."

She has delicate and petite features, and her eyes crinkle when she smiles, making her really beautiful.

Every time Shen Jun saw her, she always had a bitter face and a gloomy expression. This was the first time she had smiled at him like this.

Shen Jun looked at her with a gentle expression, "Then I'll call you Dai Kui. I didn't expect us to run into each other today. Would you like to show me around your hospital?"

"OK."

Xu Daikui originally wanted to tell him to keep the fact that she had given birth a secret, but because there were many people around, she didn't dare to speak up.

He simply nodded and led him inside, quickly catching up with the dean and his entourage.

Zhou Yanci and Xu Jiaojiao were standing in the backyard of the hospital, surrounded by a group of people.

As Xu Daikui followed Shen Jun closer to them, she heard Xu Jiaojiao look at the empty green grass and sigh.

"Wow, the feng shui here is really good. It's a real waste to leave such a large piece of land empty. If we could build an inpatient ward here, many stray cats and dogs could receive good treatment."

"Aci, what do you think?"

Zhou Yanci stood tall and straight, with a cold and handsome expression and a distant gaze. Upon hearing this, his voice was calm and serene, as if wrapped in a thin layer of ice, "Then let's build one."

"What? Ah Ci, building a hospital ward will cost at least several million. Won't this make you spend even more money..."

Xu Jiaojiao didn't expect that the man would agree so readily when she just said it casually.

How can this not represent his feelings for himself?

Money is not a problem.

Zhou Yanci glanced at her sideways, then looked at the hospital director and said, "I'll coordinate with my assistant later, and we need to get the inpatient department set up as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you for your investment, Mr. Zhou."

Dean Zhao was worried about not having enough money to build a hospital ward, but unexpectedly, just because of Xu Jiaojiao's words, Zhou Yanci spent a fortune.

First, he invested heavily in a sick kitten, and now he's spending millions. Mr. Zhou really spoils Ms. Xu rotten!

After thanking Zhou Yanci, he hurriedly bowed and thanked Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Jiaojiao blushed slightly, but her heart was already filled with sweetness.

Seeing everyone else happy, Xu Daikui felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

It turns out that loving someone and not loving someone are really that obvious.

He ignored her for five years, but always granted Xu Jiaojiao's requests.

She had figured it out long ago, but seeing it with her own eyes still made her incredibly heartbroken for the foolish version of herself who loved him.

"Mr. Zhou, you must be tired after observing for so long. I have prepared fine tea for you and Ms. Xu in the VIP room. Please come in."

Zhou Yanci nodded, turned and left. Xu Jiaojiao was about to follow when she caught a glimpse of Xu Daikui standing at the end of the crowd, seemingly invisible.

Just like when I was a child.

Considering that he had already acknowledged Xu Daikui as his sister in front of Dean Zhao and the others.

She can't just stop treating her like a human being.

Before leaving, she still gave a gentle and kind goodbye.

"Daikui, we'll be going now."

Upon hearing the voice, Zhou Yanci stopped in his tracks and looked at the woman whose name had been called. Her face was delicate and pretty, but her expression was cold and aloof.

He looked at the dean, "Aren't you coming along?"

Dean Zhao had long suspected that Zhou Yanci and Xu Jiaojiao were having an affair, so out of a sense of magnanimity, he wanted to reserve the VIP room for the two of them alone.

The others can just go with him to the regular meeting room.

But on the surface, he still spoke tactfully, "Mr. Zhou, I thought it would be better for you and Ms. Xu to rest in a quiet environment, so I won't arrange for too many people to follow you in and cause any trouble."

Zhou Yanci's expression was stern, and his voice was cold and indifferent. "Let's go together."

Xu Jiaojiao thought that Zhou Yanci and Xu Daikui were still married, so even if Zhou Yanci really wanted to marry her, he couldn't go too far on the surface.

So she offered, "Let's arrange for my sister and Dr. Shen to be included. We're all acquaintances and have plenty to talk about."

She had just seen Xu Daikui and Shen Jun seem to be very familiar with each other, and the two stood together the whole time. Could it be that Xu Daikui hadn't been idle during the six years that Zhou Yanci had been abroad?

A surge of emotions welled up within her, and she glanced sideways to observe Zhou Yanci's expression.

The latter had already turned and walked towards the VIP room, without even glancing at Xu Daikui.

Her heart began to relax slightly.
