Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169: Targeted by Someone
Xinyan actually agreed with her grandfather’s words. After all, the world is unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that the family’s prosperity and the descendants’ smooth progress will continue indefinitely.
However, Xinyan was even more curious about what those treasures that drove people crazy were exactly?
Perhaps this trip to Sichuan could help her uncover the mystery.

City Second People’s Hospital
Zhang Yueshan helped his mother into the hospital: "You sit here and wait for a moment, I’ll go register."
Granny Zhang frowned: "We could just rub some medicinal oil and rest for a few days, why waste this money?"
Zhang Yueshan knew his mother was trying to save money: "It’s better to see a doctor to be sure. Do you really want to hobble to Xinyan’s wedding?"
Thinking of Xinyan, Aunt Zhang smiled: "Alright, stop dawdling and hurry to register."
Zhang Yueshan also laughed, thinking: Xinyan is more important in his mother’s heart than he, her own son.
He stood up and walked to the registration area.
Luckily, there weren’t many people in line, and it was soon his turn.
Just as he was about to say he needed to register for orthopedics, a staff member delivering small change approached the window clerk next to him: "That guy pursuing Deputy Director Shen is here again."
"Really? Didn’t Deputy Director Shen already reject him? Why is he still coming around?"
"Isn’t it because of Deputy Director Shen’s good job and income? He can’t have kids himself and wants someone to help raise his family’s children."
"Deputy Director Shen is truly unfortunate. Previously married to that man, she was almost bullied to death by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and now Mr. Hu and his sister are after her."
"Keep your voice down. If Director Hu hears, she might make trouble for them."
"I’m not wrong, am I? She’s really something, making her brother keep approaching even after Deputy Director Shen clearly rejected. It’s just outrageous."
The staff delivering change lowered their voice: "I guess they’re trying to ruin Deputy Director Shen’s reputation so she has no choice but to marry."
Zhang Yueshan couldn’t help but furrow his brows upon hearing this. A single deputy director—could they be talking about Shen Guqing?
He urged: "Comrade, I’m trying to register for orthopedics."
The clerk wasn’t angry and swiftly took his money, issued the ticket, and continued chatting while working.
Zhang Yueshan helped his mother toward the orthopedics department, thinking he’d drop by the obstetrics and gynecology department later to see if help was needed.
Unexpectedly, they hadn’t even reached orthopedics when they saw a crowd gathered ahead.
Shen Guqing’s voice came from the front: "I’ve said it already, work is my priority right now, and I’m not considering personal issues. Mr. Hu, could you please not disrupt my normal work?"
Relying on his height, Zhang Yueshan could see the man blocking Shen Guqing.
The man, somewhat agitated, said: "I don’t mind that you’ve been married before, so why are you being so picky? You can’t have kids, and I have a pair of biological children. If you’re good to them, they’ll take care of you in old age. What are you hesitating about?"
Shen Guqing directly frowned: "Don’t you understand? Let me be clear, I don’t care for men like you who show no respect. Is that okay?"
The man didn’t expect Shen Guqing to disapprove of him in front of so many people: "What do you mean?"
Shen Guqing didn’t want to entangle with him: "Exactly what it sounds like."
With that, she bypassed the man and walked forward.
However, the man reached out to block her: "My sister holds a higher position than you and kindly introduced me to you, yet you act all high and mighty. You’re really ungrateful."
This time, Shen Guqing was furious: "Pulling rank won’t work. Who do you think you are? Do you really want to try forcing me? What are you saying? I’m being polite here!"
At this moment, Granny Zhang, limping slightly, recognized Shen Guqing’s voice: "Shanzi, does that sound like Yanyan’s senior sister to you?"
Zhang Yueshan subtly guided her to a nearby bench: "Mom, it’s definitely Doctor Shen. Please sit here for a moment, and I’ll go help her."
Just as the man was about to reach for Shen Guqing’s arm again, Zhang Yueshan, quicker than the security personnel who were rushing over, grabbed the man’s hand: "Are you looking to lose this hand?"
