Chapter １７

William was confused. Was his father also a powerful man back then? Otherwise, why did his father-in-law,Zachary, say that? What was he regretting? What happened that year?

However, no matter how William asked,Zachary ignored him.

William had no choice but to continue to eat with doubts in his arms. He knew in his heart that his father must have something to hide from him, and every time he asked his mother, his father would always lose his temper, so that he did not dare to mention his mother in front of his father when he was a child.

William kept thinking about these things until the end of the dinner. He still couldn't figure out what had happened in the past.

In this way, William's sister-in-law and Leila returned to the villa.

The night passed quietly.

On the second morning, the Zhao family began to prepare to welcome old master Ji from the capital city. Some details were being made in every part of the manor. It could be seen that the Zhao family attached great importance to old master's coming.

And the younger generation of the Zhao family was also busy, commanding the employees of the manor to do all kinds of things.

At first, William didn't want to get involved in the chaos, nor did he intend to see the style of the Ji family. He planned to watch TV for a day in the villa to kill time.

However, his sister-in-law insisted on taking him out.

However, even if he was pulled out by his sister-in-law, William knew that he could watch those nominally brother-in-law and brother-in-law command the work.

It was embarrassing to watch them doing nothing, but sister-in-law didn't seem to be embarrassed at all. She took William to stroll around the campus.

At noon, the Ji family finally arrived. Several luxury cars drove into the garden.

According to Mary, the Ji family had entered the reception building of the zone.

She also said that a young man of the Ji family was a star and she was a fan.

In this way, William came to the reception building.

However, the younger generation of the Zhao clan were chatting in the hall on the first floor while drinking tea leisurely. As for the upstairs, it was the Ji clan and the Zhao clan's elders who were talking.

The younger generation of the Zhao family was not qualified to go up. They came back from a thousand miles away just because they hoped to have a good impression on the Ji family and have a good relationship with them. Moreover, their father had specially told them to introduce them to the Ji family.

The Ji family was so powerful that the whole capital city would tremble three times.

If she could leave a good impression on the Ji family, she would have a good impression on them.

Similarly, 1/3 of the Zhao clan's properties were now in the hands of Leila. If they could be appreciated by the Ji clan over the old generation, they would be put in an important position in the Zhao clan in the future.

Ability would also be valued.

Although the old master of the Zhao clan left early, the old lady of the Zhao clan was now in power. It was the old lady of the Zhao clan who was looking at Leila, so she could control nearly 1/3 of the Zhao clan's industries.

It seemed that old lady didn't have much time left, and the property division of the Zhao clan was not far away. At this time,Zachary had already begun to prepare, and the younger generation of course had to work hard to make achievements. The hall was full of hustle and bustle. All the juniors of the Zhao clan were eager to be appreciated.

At this moment, Mary was holding William's hand. Her face was full of happiness, and she was whispering something in William's ear.

Someone in the crowd said, "look! The Ji family is coming down!"

For a moment, the whole hall fell into silence.

All the juniors of the Zhao clan stopped talking and stood up from their seats, staring at the stairs leading to the second floor.

Even the noisy Mary held her breath.

An old man walked in the front, and his father-in-law,Zachary, bowed slightly and followed him closely.

Then he looked back and saw Connor and his nominal wife, Mary.

In fact, it was not difficult to understand why Leila was so close to the top. After all, Leila held a third of the property of the Zhao clan.

William looked at the people coming down and asked, "isn't this old man the one he saved that night?"?

Is he the old master Ji that the whole Zhao family should respect?

It seemed that he had saved a great man this time. But he didn't think too much about it.

After all, no matter how powerful and rich others were, they were still others' and had nothing to do with him.

Besides, Connor had helped a lot, which was also a big favor.

The old man was dressed in a grey Chinese tunic suit. His face was ruddy, but his aura was very terrifying.

It could be seen that when he was young, he must be a powerful hero!

The old man walked slowly down the stairs, glanced around the hall and said nothing.

Connor, who was standing behind the old man, obviously found William in the crowd and gave him a kind smile.

William nodded and smiled back.

This scene, of course, did not escape the eyes of Mary, her sister-in-law. She immediately reached out and spun the soft meat around William's waist one hundred and eighty degrees.

He cursed in his heart, "how dare you flirt with other women behind my sister's back!"

As Mary didn't show any mercy, William's face turned red in an instant. When he was about to shout out, he found that the occasion was inappropriate, so he held it back and let out a muffled hum.

Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely harsh in the hall where the sound of dropping needles could be heard.

Therefore, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on one of them.

Mary was stunned and realized that she had made a mistake. She immediately withdrew her small hand and shrank her neck, as if she knew she was wrong.

She thought to herself, 'my brother-in-law must be pretending. He is a man, but I just pinched his flesh. He won't feel pain for such a small thing. I didn't expect him to pretend to be painful. What a bad guy!'!

William looked at Leila with a bitter smile, hoping that she could help him out. After all, being stared at by so many people made him under great pressure.

Pretending not to see William's eyes, Leila looked at him coldly. What a mess!

Seeing this, Connor covered her mouth and Laughed. The relationship between William and his wife was really interesting. Then she whispered something in his father's ear.

The old man's eyes flashed and he walked quickly towards William.

Seeing this,Zachary's heart jolted. 'oh my God! If old master Ji gets angry, I can do nothing about it.'.

'you really messed with someone you shouldn't have messed with this time!

Almost everyone in the hall looked at him sympathetically

old master Ji held his hand and said excitedly, "doctor, thank you so much last time."

What happened!

All the Zhao family members present opened their mouths wide and looked at this scene in disbelief.

The Ji family was relatively calm. They had already heard that a few days ago, a highly skilled doctor had saved old master's life.

Now it seemed that the young man was the highly skilled doctor.

But they were also a little surprised, but what surprised them was that this highly skilled doctor was so young.

It was said that when it was old master, he used the acupuncture.

Acupuncture was a traditional Chinese medicine. Generally speaking, the older a person was, the better his medical skills would be. As for this young man, he was at most twenty-five or six years old.

How could he have such superb medical skills?

Waving his hand, he said awkwardly, "old master, don't worry. It's just a piece of cake. I'm sorry."

"You're being modest, doctor. I know my body very well. I can't find a second one with your medical skills in the capital city." old master Ji paused and thought for a while before he continued.

"If possible, I want to invite you..."
