Chapter 46: Hou Shilin’s Invitation
After the incident with the Hou Family, Hou Xiaozhi was banished from Nanluo City, and Hou Shilin took control of everything that belonged to him.
However, Hou Shilin was very clear in his mind that in this matter, the Hou Family hadn’t acted well, and at least Su Yang wasn’t very satisfied. Thus, during this time, he was quite anxious, constantly thinking about how to mend the relationship with Su Yang. He knew all too well that Su Yang was not someone the Hou Family could afford to offend!
Knowing Su Yang’s cold nature, Hou Shilin didn’t dare to approach him directly. After much deliberation, he eventually thought of Su Yang’s father and went to the hospital tonight specifically to take care of Su Ping.
Zhao Xuefen stayed at the hospital to care for Su Ping. She didn’t recognize Hou Shilin, but seeing Dean Lin nodding and bowing to accompany Hou Shilin over, she knew this was someone important. Her shock was even more profound upon learning of Hou Shilin’s identity.
This rural woman, whose highest encounter with an official was with a deputy town leader, had never met someone of Hou Shilin’s stature!
Knowing that Hou Shilin came to see Su Ping, Zhao Xuefen was so excited that she couldn’t even utter a coherent sentence. The patients in the nearby wards looked on with nothing but envy. Although they didn’t know who Hou Shilin was, how could someone who made the dean personally accompany him be simple?
Hou Shilin hadn’t sat in the hospital for long and was thinking about how to make a good impression on Su Ping while also hoping that Su Ping would help arrange a meal for him with Su Yang. It was at this moment that Ling Zi’s call came through, informing him that Su Yang had asked him to go to the night banquet.
Upon receiving this call, Hou Shilin was so excited that he almost shouted out loud, and he immediately bid farewell to Su Ping, rushing off to the night banquet.
Ling Zi had been waiting at the entrance of the night banquet for a while. Seeing Hou Shilin coming over, he hastily greeted him, "Young Master Hou, you’ve arrived!"
"What’s the situation?" Hou Shilin asked as he walked to the private room.
Ling Zi recounted everything that had happened, and after listening to Ling Zi, Hou Shilin frowned slightly. He was still uncertain about Su Yang’s attitude toward Ling Zi, but since Su Yang had called him over, he was definitely meant to clear up this matter.
