Chapter 1270: Alumni Event (1)
“Haven’t you heard the saying where it’s like wealth only remains in the family for three generations? Some certain individual can manage to destroy an entire legacy of success in a single generation.”
“You’re right. During my days at university, I couldn’t stand him. He’s always acting and saying my heart hurts. It’s not like he’s going to die or something. Even now, he’s not dead. He just managed to fail everyone in the Zhai family.”
“Without his good looks, he wouldn’t even be married. And now that he has a successful and capable wife, he doesn’t need to do anything for the rest of his life. Like how damn useless is he?
“Well, he shouldn’t be happy too early. After all, what woman likes her husband being incompetent? If this goes on for a long time, his wife will surely divorce him.”
A few people were having this conversion not far away from Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.
As everyone here was alumni from Beijing University, they all knew who they were mocking.
When Zhai Yunsheng was studying, he was known for his arrogance. Many of them suffered losses from him and secretly hated him. Yet, back then, they couldn’t do anything to harm him.
Now that the Zhai family had fallen, these people quickly seized the opportunity to mock Zhai Yunsheng.
As Yu Xi also graduated from Beijing University, he quickly caught onto these words. He couldn’t help but turn around and look at Zhai Yunsheng.
Currently, Zhai Yunsheng was whispering something to Jian Yiling. When Jian Yiling heard those words, her face became flushed like a ripened apple.

“Master Sheng, do you want me to teach them a lesson?” Yu Xi asked Zhai Yunsheng.
“Don’t worry about them,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. There was a lazy smile on his face. ” They’re just jealous of me. After all, they don’t have the same luck as me. I can just do nothing and still live on happily.”
Yu Xi: “…”
Only Master Sheng could justify leeching off his wife instead of working in such an attitude.
And his wife looked so harmless and adorable!
Typically, shouldn’t she be protected and looked after instead?
Where was Master Sheng’s conscience?
After a while, the event reached the stage where the university invited accomplished alumni onto the stage to make a speech. The host enthusiastically invited Jian Yiling to speak first.
The entire auditorium looked toward Jian Yiling.
She was the founder of Lahaisen Hospital, a top surgeon, and an accomplished pharmaceutical researcher. Out of everyone here, she was definitely the most famous and most accomplished alumna.
And thus, no one had any objection that Jian Yiling was making the first speech.
Jian Yiling calmly walked up to the stage.
Today, she wore a simple white T-shirt with black jeans. The look was sharp and clean.
Coupled with her babyish face and petite figure, if someone didn’t know better, they’d assume she was a girl who just finished studying high school.
However, she had already graduated from university and gotten married.
Jian Yiling had never been afraid to make presentations and speeches.
She calmly spoke about Lahaisen Hospital’s plans for the next few years and after she finished speaking, the crowd applauded enthusiastically.
After this, the host began to ask Jian Yiling questions.
“Dean Jian, we are all very curious about how you came up with the idea of establishing a hospital like Laihaisen in the first place. I know you have never explained this matter to the public, so today, in front of so many of our alumni, I wonder if it’s okay for you to tell us about it?”
“To make money,” Jian Yiling replied.
The reason was simple and clear.
