120: Twins, Lingxue and Lingxi
He had already decided that after attending this charity gala, he would officially establish the Heavenly Palace Group.
This charity gala could also be considered an early announcement of his reputation.
Meanwhile!
In a private ward at Deep City Hospital.
Two young women sat by the hospital bed, looking at the woman lying in bed, who was in extremely poor spirits, their hearts filled with worry.
“Mom, please focus on your treatment. You don’t need to worry about money. My sister and I found a well-paying job. We might have to go to the Demon Capital in a few days to report to the company, but don’t worry, I’ll find someone to take care of you for a while. We’ll be back in four or five days, or ten days at most.”
Upon hearing this, the woman’s face showed a relieved smile. Even with her broken body, her two daughters hadn't given up on her, which made her both comforted and pained.
She knew her own body well. The current treatment was merely buying time and extending her life. Late-stage lung cancer was incurable!
But to leave like this, she was always a bit reluctant to part with her two daughters.
However, continuing treatment would only burden them.
Thinking of this, she forced a smile, “Lingxue, Lingxi, you’ve worked hard. Take good care of yourselves in the Demon Capital. Mom really wanted to make dumplings for you two one last time, but my body isn’t cooperating now.”
As she spoke, she took a deep breath, fighting back tears.
Ye Lingxue’s eyes instantly welled up upon hearing this. Holding the woman’s hand, she said with a trembling voice, “Mom, don’t worry, you’ll definitely get better. I asked the doctor, and there’s a chance. Don’t overthink it, just focus on your treatment. Don’t worry about anything else, we’re here.”
“Hahaha, yes, yes, yes, you’ve grown up. Speaking of which, you and Lingxi are not young anymore; you need to find boyfriends. Girls shouldn’t just wait for others to make the first move. If you meet someone you like, you should seize the opportunity. Meeting is fate, and if you like someone, you should actively pursue them. Don’t wait until you miss out and then regret it. I hope I can still see the day you two get married; then I’ll be at ease.”
“Mom, what are you saying? You’ll definitely see it. Lingxue still wants you to help me take care of my children.”
Although she said this to comfort the woman, she truly didn't want to interact with men, or rather, she was very resistant to men.
Not only her, but her sister was the same.
“Alright, alright, then you two sisters need to hurry. Mom is tired and wants to rest. You two go back to your busy lives.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxi pulled her sister up and said to the woman, “Mom, you rest first, we’ll come back to see you later.”
After leaving the ward, the two sisters walked out of the hospital, feeling a bit depressed.
“Sister, how about… we try to interact a bit? You know Mom’s condition. Her biggest wish now is to see us settle down.”
Ye Lingxue sighed upon hearing this, “Oh, Xiao Xi, you know it’s not that we don’t want to interact. After that incident, once a member of the opposite sex touches us, it triggers our passive ability.”
As for what their passive ability was, it was, of course, force.
After that incident, they specifically learned Taekwondo, which led to their current situation: once a member of the opposite sex touches them, even if it’s just holding hands or touching their body, they react this way, and they also feel very disgusted internally.
Having martial arts skills and being disgusted by men made it completely unsolvable.
Hearing Ye Lingxue’s words, Ye Lingxi was also very helpless. Although she really wanted to fulfill her mother’s wish, she genuinely had no interest in men, even disgust, the kind that made her feel nauseous just by smelling them.
So they always emitted a light fragrance to suppress the scent of men around them.
“Forget it, let’s just let nature take its course. The company just informed us that we’re going to the Demon Capital in three days, and the company will also be moving to its headquarters.”
“Okay, let’s go back first. We can’t lose this job; Mom’s medical expenses still depend on it.”
...Time flew by!
Three days later!
Nine in the morning!
In the Deep City Hospital ward!
“Mom, our flight is at ten, so we have to go to the airport now. We’ll be back soon.”
The woman smiled and nodded, “Okay, have a safe trip. You don’t need to worry about me, Xiaohong is here.”
Xiaohong was the person Ye Lingxue hired to take care of her, a woman in her twenties, quite pretty.
But the salary was not low, three hundred and fifty a day, but Ye Lingxue felt that the three hundred and fifty was well worth it; at least the other party took good care of her.
“Yes, Auntie is being taken care of by me, so you two can rest assured.”
Seeing this, the two sisters nodded and reluctantly turned to leave...
The plane took off from Deep City!
Seven in the evening!
Demon Capital! Inside Xitan Palace!
“Young Lord, it’s time to leave.”
Wang Shaojun (Young Lord), who was playing with Xiao Hei, heard this, stroked Xiao Hei’s head, and stood up, saying, “Okay, let’s go then.”
A moment later, a rolls-royce drove out of Xitan Palace.
Wang Shaojun (Young Lord) in the car suddenly remembered something and looked at Butler Wei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asking, “Oh, Butler Wei, did you bring the item?”
“Yes, Young Lord!”
Seeing this, Wang Shaojun (Young Lord) said nothing more, his thoughts already drifting overseas.
Soon, the car stopped at the main entrance of the Demon Capital Central Hotel.
Looking at the scene outside, he thought, it seems this charity gala tonight is quite large-scale.
Thinking about it, it made sense; after all, it was a charity gala spearheaded by the city government, so the scale would naturally not be small.
Without overthinking, he walked towards the entrance with Butler Wei. As he approached, a greeter in a qipao came forward with a smile, “Welcome, President Wang, the charity gala is in the ballroom on the eighth floor. I’ll lead you there, this way please.”
Wang Shaojun (Young Lord) nodded slightly and followed behind her.
Eighth-floor ballroom!
When Wang Shaojun (Young Lord) entered, the people inside were chatting in small groups, clearly all acquaintances.
As a newcomer, he felt a bit awkward, as he didn't know anyone inside.
He casually found a seat and sat down, observing the venue’s setup. It seemed this charity gala was a bit different from what he had imagined.
Just as he was feeling bored, a surprised voice came from beside him.
“President Wang?”
Wang Shaojun (Young Lord) was puzzled to hear someone calling him. He looked in the direction of the voice. Hmm?
There really was an acquaintance!
After seeing Wang Shaojun (Young Lord)’s face, Wei Jinhua finally confirmed it and quickly swapped seats with the person next to Wang Shaojun (Young Lord).
The other person, seeing it was Wei Jinhua, quickly stood up and moved.
After Wei Jinhua thanked him, he sat down next to Wang Shaojun (Young Lord) and said with a smile, “President Wang, it really is you. I thought I had mistaken you for someone else.”
Wang Shaojun (Young Lord) was also a bit surprised to see Wei Jinhua, but thinking about it, it made sense; the other party had a high status and would certainly have received an invitation.
“President Wei, long time no see. You’re still as dashing as ever.”
“Hahaha, President Wang, you’re joking. How can I compare to you? I heard you bought Xitan Palace?”
Hearing this, Wang Shaojun (Young Lord) was even more surprised. “No, are you paying so much attention to me?”
“We don’t have much interaction, at most it was just one meeting.”
