Shangjiang City People's Hospital.

"Excuse me, excuse me!"

Chen Ping rushed into the hospital, holding an unconscious child, and shouted loudly, "Doctor! Doctor! Please save my son!"

Several nurses and doctors rushed out, hurriedly carrying the child Chen Ping was holding into the emergency room.

"Hey, you can't go in!"

A nurse in a sky-blue uniform, wearing a mask, stopped Chen Ping who was trying to rush into the emergency room.

At that moment, a sharp sound of high heels clicking on tiles came from behind, "Tap, tap, tap," it sounded like a drum against her heart.

"Chen Ping!"

"Outrageously condemn!"

Slap!

A crisp slap echoed as the solid palm landed on Chen Ping's face.

Chen Ping stood before her, Jiang Wan with fury etched on her face, tears welling up in her eyes. "If anything were to happen to my son, I would make you pay!"

The tone was cold, tinged with intense anger.

This scene scared the patients and their families in the hospital.

Chen Ping fumed, burying his head and saying nothing.

"Humph!"

Jiang Wan coldly snorted, displeasure and disdain in her eyes, something anyone could see.

...while Chen Ping stood to one side, like a child who had made a mistake, his head bowed and silent.

He just glanced at the person a few meters away from him, his wife.

Someone who has already signed a divorce agreement and can officially divorce at any time.

Jiang Wan was very beautiful, with excellent stature and a graceful figure. She was well-educated and polite. She had once been the school flower at university, but unexpectedly fell in love with Chen Ping and eloped, thus giving birth to their daughter, Chen Mili.

However, life after marriage was not as they had hoped. Chen Ping's work went poorly, his business failed, and their son was born with a congenital heart condition, draining all their savings. Now he makes a living delivering food.

And Jiang Wan, the Vice President of Marketing for a listed company, her parents are also from the manufacturing industry, one is a section chief and the other is a retired teacher.

It can be said that Chen Ping's status in the Jiang family is very low, and he has not existed at all in the past two years.

Also because of Chen Ping, Jiang Wan had a big conflict with her family, and her parents did not provide any financial assistance.

The elderly couple told them seriously that they would only help with the grandson's treatment if they divorced, and after the divorce, the child would belong to Jiang.

This matter has been dragged on for a year.

The emergency room door swung open. Chen Ping watched as the child was wheeled out, wanting to rush over, but he saw Jiang Wan had already run ahead.

He paused, looking far away at his own child.

A tiny white hand reached out, wearing a respirator. Her big black eyes sparkled like gemstones as she murmured, “Daddy...”

Chen Ping walked over, holding his child's icy small hand, gently stroking the hair from her forehead, and smiled: "Daddy is here."

"Mommy, please don't fight with Daddy. It's Millet who is being naughty and wanting Daddy to take me to the amusement park."

Little Xiaomi, who was only three years old at the time, spoke up weakly in Chen Ping's defense.

Jiang Wan smiled and replied, "Okay, Mom will listen to Mirari and not argue with Dad."

"Chen Ping, the hospital bill."

A cold voice interrupted Chen Ping and Er's conversation.

He glanced at Jiang Wan, but she only gave him a cold look before accompanying her son into the ward.

Hurrying to the inpatient department to pay, Chen Ping took out his bank card.

"Sorry, there's no money on your card." The nurse said coldly, her eyes scanning over him.

It's Chen Ping after all.

A poor man who always made his wife shoulder the medical expenses.

He could ask his mother-in-law and father-in-law for help, but he chose not to.

This kind of man who is so demanding, trash!

"Out of money?" Chen Ping was embarrassed.

He twisted his face, humbly bending over and asking, "Nurse, can you give me a few more days?"

The nurse coldly glanced at Chen Ping, her eyes filled with mockery, and said, "No money? Ask your wife for it. Anyway, you eat too."

"You!" Chen Ping's face darkened.

That nurse clasped her hands together and snorted, "Tomorrow, no money, you'll get discharged."

After that, I turned my back and ignored him. Every time I spoke to such a man, it made me feel sick.

Are you saying that people are only bullies if they have no money?

Chen Ping was unwilling to give up and clenched his fists angrily.

Just as he turned, he saw Jiang Wan standing behind him with a cold and aloof air. Her icy face was filled with hatred.

"Wǎner, don't worry, I'll go raise money right now." Chen Ping forced a smile.

All of their savings, both his and Jiang Wan's, were spent.

Jiang Wan's tears streamed down her face. She clenched her fists and said, "Chen Ping, if you are still a man, go ask my parents!"

"I..."

Chen Ping was stunned, a mouthful of words stuck in his throat.

Hee hee.

Jiang Wan wiped the tears from her face and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I knew it, you'll always be like this. Could your pride be more important than a grain of rice?"

It seemed that after glancing at Chen Ping and Jiang Wan, she left a cold back for Chen Ping.

<>

He could only rush to the ward, say a few words to his child, and then leave.

Before leaving, Jiang Wan told him one last time: "Chen Ping, my dad's birthday this weekend. If you don't want a divorce, go ask my parents."

With no room for choice, Chen Ping knew this was Jiang Wan's last bit of patience with him.

Just as he was about to leave the hospital, a proud male voice called out to him: "Hey, isn't that Chen Ping? Where are you rushing off to?"

Looking up, a handsome man stood before Chen Ping. He was wearing a well-tailored suit and carrying a fruit basket and a plush toy in his hand.

"Cao army! Who allowed you to come?" Chen Ping's face immediately fell.

Cao Jun, his college best friend, but ever since he married Jiang Wan, they became mortal enemies.

Cao Jun also likes Jiang Wan.

I made him come.

Jiang Wan walked over at this time, walking directly past Chen Ping's side, with an apologetic smile on her face: "Cao Gege, I'm sorry, I'll have to trouble you again."

When Cao Jun saw Jiang Wan, the smirk on his face turned into a gentle smile. "It's nothing," he said. "I'm also Mi Li's uncle, after all. This is for Mi Li. I'll go pay the fee now."

Having said that, he gave Chen Ping a disdainful glance, his eyes filled with contempt.

Chen Ping's knuckles were as white as iron, his face cold as he asked Jiang Wan, "Why did you ask him to borrow money?"

"Do you have money? Or do you want Mǐlì to be kicked out of the hospital tomorrow?" Jiang Wǎn glared at Chen Píng with an icy face, then turned directly and followed Cao Jūn ahead, chatting and laughing with him.

Chen Ping saw this scene, his eyes wide with anger, his pride severely wounded.

Money money money!

It's all about money!

Chen Ping stood at the hospital door, rooted to the spot for a long time before letting out a breath. He looked up at the blue sky and then took out his phone to make a call: "Mouse, where are you? Let's meet."

The rental house, Chen Ping and Liu Hao sat face-to-face. Liu Hao, who was somewhat thin, handed Chen Ping a Bank of China card and said, "Here are 60,000 yuan, take it first."

Chen Ping took the bank card, his hand trembling slightly. "Haizi, thank you, thank you!"

"There's nothing to thank me for, we're like family." Liu Hao said with a hearty laugh.

"I disagree!"

With a bang, the door of the rented house was pushed open. A tall man, with a furious expression, rushed in. "Liu Hao, is that the dowry you gave to my family? How dare you!"

This person is Liu Hao's friend, Xu Rong. He looks very similar to Liu Hao, about 70% resemblance. His attitude is a little arrogant, and he seems to have some power.

"Rongrong, isn't this Mi Li hospitalized? I lent it to Chen Ping for an emergency." Liu Hao stepped forward and explained to Xu Rong.

Xu Rong directly shook off his hand and looked at Chen Ping with a sneer: “Oh, Chen Ping, this is the nth time you’ve borrowed money from our Liu Hao? You have no shame, I still do!”

"Xu Rong!" Liu Hao said in a deep voice, tugging at his sleeve.

Xu Rong didn't care, and directly pointed at Liu Hao's nose and scolded: "Liu, if you lend out this money today, I'll break up with you! We won't get married either!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Chen Ping placed his card on the table and nodded apologetically: "Sorry, that is, Mouse, I'll go to your wedding next time. I'm leaving now."

"No gift!" Xu Rong said coldly.

Before Liu Hao could catch up, Chen Ping had already run out of the rented house.

After that, there was a slam of the door followed by the sound of Xu Rong and Liu Hao arguing.

Walking on the street, Chen Ping squatted on the ground, holding his phone and smoking, lost in thought.

Poverty is a sin, without money it's hard to move an inch.

As if he had made up his mind, Chen Ping dialed a number he hadn't called in seven years.

The phone call went through.

"Hey, grandpa, is that you, grandpa? You finally called me." The voice on the phone was very agitated, with a trace of weariness, and almost sounded like crying.

Chen Ping sighed helplessly and said, "Lao Qiao, I'm short on money. Could you transfer me 100,000?"

"Oh, grandpa, where did you get that from? Don't even talk about 100,000, even if you want 100 million, I'll transfer it to you."

On the phone, the elder, who was just moments ago agitated, sounded a little embarrassed and said, “But sir, according to your agreement with your grandfather, if you want to use the family's wealth and connections, you need to come back and inherit the family business. Why don't you come to the company for a talk?”

Chen Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll go take a look."

"Oh, alright, Grandpa! I'll have someone send a car to pick you up!" Qiao Lao exclaimed.

"No need, I can just go myself." Chen Ping said, and then suddenly asked, "By the way, which company?"

"Mr. Shengding Group, I'm waiting for you at the boardroom," Qiao Lao said.

Chen Ping hung up the phone and looked at the endless stream of people before him.

Okay, here's the truth: I, Chen Ping, am actually a top-tier rich second generation!

The family's assets are spread across the globe, with about 70% of their industries being owned by them.

For the past seven years, Chen Ping has been living a simple life outside his family to escape his inheritance responsibilities.

But today, he compromised with reality.

If you don't work hard and have no money, then you'll just have to go back and inherit the family fortune of billions.

Soon, Chen Ping arrived at the Sheng Ding Group Building on his electric scooter.

This is a skyscraper over 300 meters high, ranking seventh among the top 500 global enterprises!

Of course, the Global 500 companies, those were all opened or invested in by the Chen family themselves.

As soon as Chen Ping entered the hall, he was stopped by a shout.

"Hey hey hey, who are you? Who let you rush in here? Get out, get out! Delivery guys aren't allowed in here! Call someone to come down and pick it up!"

A stunning woman in a black business suit blocked Chen Ping's way and launched into a scathing reprimand.

This person, in terms of looks, is very much a femme fatale. Her figure is also incredibly curvaceous, with ivory-white long legs that are truly eye-catching.

"What are you looking at? Aren't you disgusted? You thug! Get out of here!"

Su Lilin glared at Chen Ping with disgust. She'd seen too many delivery guys like this.
