My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

The crowd could not help but sigh. The heavens bestowed some with great blessings, while others had to first strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, empty their guts, and build discipline to be able to do anything worthwhile.

Along with Nangong Nuannuan, Shi Yalin also caused a sensation.

Nangong Nuannuan was the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination. The second-highest scorer was Shi Yalin.

Shi Yalin had ranked second with a score of 741 points, leaving the third place behind in her dust, as that person had only received 712 points.

When people found out that Shi Yalin was actually the daughter of a first-rate aristocratic family in Emperor District, they were speechless.

People often talked about how they had already lost at life from the moment of their very conception. They talked about how sons and daughters of aristocratic families did not need to work hard to get things that ordinary people could work toward for their entire lives and still not get.

Nangong Nuannuan and Shi Yalin, the daughters of the two first-rate wealthy families, slapped these people across the face.

Not only were these two girls born winners, but they were hardworking too. Not only did they rely on their families' reputation to have a high social standing, but they also relied on their personal talent to be the best among their peers.

The people who believed that wealthy people were just parasites began to reflect on their beliefs after seeing what Nangong Nuannuan and Shi Yalin had done.

There was a reason why these families had gotten so rich in the first place.

Old Master Nangong and Old Master Shi were extremely happy that Nangong Nuannuan and Shi Yalin were the top scorers of the college entrance examination. They decided to hold a grand banquet for some guests to come by and celebrate with them.

Old Master Nangong invited many old friends, including Old Master Chi, other retired elders, and leaders of the administrative department. Of course, Old Master Chi, who was his in-law, was also one of the banquet's organizers. The organizers made the decision to not invite Old Master Ning, Old Master Xiao, and Old Master Shi.

After the Nangong family's banquet came to a close, Old Master Shi actually invited Old Master Chi to attend Shi Yalin's celebratory banquet.

The Shi family not only invited Old Master Chi, but even Chi Yang.

Because the Shi family was being monitored, Old Master Chi and Chi Yang, who initially did not plan to attend, decided to go.

When the housekeeper told Old Master Shi that Grand Marshal Chi Yuancheng had arrived, he was stunned for a while.

"Where is Grand Marshal Chi?" Old Master Shi happily asked.

"Outside the door. He just got out of the car."

Old Master Shi immediately stood up and walked out.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go with you to greet him. I haven't seen my brother for a very long time."

Old Master Shi stood up at the same time an old lady sitting in the living room stood up too.

He glanced at the old lady and felt a little awkward.

"Sister-in-law, the grand marshal has already severed his relationship with you. It's a little inappropriate for you to go out with me, isn't it?"

The other party did not seem to hear Old Master Shi's disdain. She chuckled and said, "Listen to what you're saying. My brother and I have been brother and sister for close to 70 years. Even if my brother feels a little uncomfortable around me because of my son, blood is still thicker than water. Brother-in-law, don't you want to see me and my brother reunited?"

Old Master Shi really wanted to see Grandma Pei and Old Master Chi get back together. Back then, he had agreed to let the Pei family's daughter-in-law be their eldest daughter-in-law and control the Shi family's economics with Shi Maude because Grandma Pei was Old Master Chi's sister. Grandma Pei's mother raised Old Master Chi when he was young.
