Chapter 36

As Long As You Ask, She Will Help

Seeing that Jian Xing’er was still silent, Mrs. Hou continued gently, “Jian Xing’er, if you help resolve Junlai’s company’s matter, I’ll definitely persuade Junlai to let the two of you remarry.”

Jian Xing’er looked at Mrs. Hou as she said calmly, “There’s no need for that!”

“As long as Junlai tells me personally, I’ll help.”

Mrs. Hou immediately said, “Alright, I’ll tell you when I get back.”

Mrs. Hou smiled and stood up to leave.

Hou Xiaoyu glanced at Shangguan Ding again, then left with her mother reluctantly.

Mrs. Hou’s attitude towards Jian Xing’er was completely different from before.

Jian Xing’er took a deep breath. As expected, she had not gotten over Hou Junlai.

When Mrs. Hou returned home, she called Hou Junlai out and said, “Junlai, it’s done! Tidy yourself up tomorrow and go meet Jian Xing’er. She said that as long as you ask, she’ll help.”

Hou Junlai remained silent.

Mrs. Hou persuaded, “Junlai, if no one helps you, the company will go bankrupt. How will our family survive?”

Hou Junlai took a deep breath and said, “Alright, I’ll go!”

He had no choice but to compromise for the sake of the company.

Back then, he took the initiative to divorce Jian Xing’er and chase her out, but now, he wanted to ask Jian Xing’er for help.

He had no choice but to shamelessly go ask Jian Xing’er for help for the sake of the company.

Seeing that Junlai had agreed, Mrs. Hou smiled and said, “Junlai, although Jian Xing’er has nothing, she has many connections and a good relationship with the Li family. If you want to remarry her, I support you.”

Mrs. Hou was very scheming.

As long as Hou Junlai remarried Jian Xing’er, the Li family would become their backer in the future.

With the Li family as their backer, the Hou family would naturally have more benefits.

No matter what it was, Mrs. Hou always considered the benefits first.

Previously, Mrs. Hou despised Jian Xing’er, but now, she couldn’t wait for Jian Xing’er to become the Hou family’s daughter-in-law again.

Of course, Hou Junlai knew what his mother was thinking, but he had mixed feelings and didn’t know what to say.

The next day.

After Hou Junlai got up, he tidied up and drove to look for Jian Xing’er.

When he reached the door, Hou Junlai didn’t have the courage to press the doorbell.

Suddenly, a servant came out.

The servant asked, “Sir, who are you looking for?”

Hou Junlai hesitated for a moment and stammered, “I… I’m looking for… Jian Xing’er… Tell her that I’m Hou Junlai.”

The servant said, “Please wait a moment. I’ll go in and inform Miss Jian.”

With that, the servant entered the house.

These servants were all hired by Shangguan Ding, so they didn’t know Hou Junlai.

Jian Xing’er was sitting on the sofa and looking at her phone in boredom.

A servant came in and told Jian Xing’er that Hou Junlai was at the door.

Jian Xing’er was stunned.

She didn’t expect Hou Junlai to come personally.

Jian Xing’er said, “Invite him in!”

The servant went to invite Hou Junlai into the house.

When he reached the living room, Hou Junlai looked at Jian Xing’er and was about to say something when Shangguan Ding came down from upstairs.

The bedroom upstairs was originally Hou Junlai and Jian Xing’er’s bedroom.

Now, it was occupied by Shangguan Ding.

Hou Junlai thought that the two of them were already living together and felt very uncomfortable, but his expression was still calm.

Hou Junlai said, “I came over to ask you to help me.”

Hou Junlai told her about the company’s matter.

Jian Xing’er looked at Hou Junlai and said indifferently, “I understand. Go back and wait for my news!”

“I still have things to do. After I’m done, I’ll leave Sea City. Since we were once husband and wife, I’ll try my best to help you once.”

When Hou Junlai heard this, he frowned.

Hou Junlai felt that Jian Xing’er seemed to have become a different person. She was very straightforward and decisive now, but she used to be submissive and meek in the past.

Jian Xing’er’ magnanimity wasn’t something ordinary people could compare to.

If it were anyone else, it would be impossible for them to help Hou Junlai. They would probably even insult him.

Jian Xing’er asked, “Is there anything else?”

At this moment, Hou Junlai regained his senses and said, “No!”

Hou Junlai said very politely, “Thank you…”

Then, Hou Junlai stood up and walked out.

As Jian Xing’er stared at Hou Junlai’s back, she took a deep breath. From this moment on, she might not ever have the chance to meet Hou Junlai again.

The reason Jian Xing’er helped was that she wanted to see Hou Junlai again.

She wanted to end this relationship on a perfect note.

Jian Xing’er immediately felt very relaxed and no longer felt dejected.

Jian Xing’er took out her phone and called the head of the Li family.

After Jian Xing’er explained the matter, the Li family’s patriarch immediately agreed.
