Litian Hotel.
This is a super five-star hotel and the property of Liu Zhenglong, a top tycoon from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan.
This afternoon, luxury cars streamed into Litian Hotel, and the elites gathered. Liu Zhenglong, the chairman of Litian Hotel, was personally welcoming guests at the entrance.
"Liu, congratulations, you're about to be a daddy soon!" A distinguished guest arrived to congratulate Liu Zhenglong.
"Mr. Liu gracing us with your presence, I truly feel honored!" Liu Zhenglong said, beaming with joy.
"We're so familiar with each other; we don't need to stand on ceremony!" the visitor said.
"Please go inside, Mr. Liu. I'll come to find you later so we can have a good chat!"
"Alright, you go ahead with your business, we'll talk later!"
After seeing the big shot into the venue, Liu Zhenglong soon had another visit from distinguished guests arriving in groups, which left him quite flustered.
In the midst of his busy welcoming, a top-of-the-line Ferrari pulled up, and out stepped a tall young man with a beautiful companion trailing behind him—a famous star from the entertainment circle.
"Brother Liu!"
As the young man got out of the car, he disregarded the actress behind him and came over to give Liu Zhenglong a bear hug.
"Feng Yi, you rascal, you're here!" Liu Zhenglong was extremely happy to see the newcomer.
This person was named Feng Yi, also a super-rich second-generation, more than a decade younger than Liu Zhenglong. They used to live in the same villa area, and Feng Yi was practically raised under Liu Zhenglong's watchful eye.
"Brother Liu, congratulations, you're going to be a dad soon!" Feng Yi said with a wide grin, flashing his big teeth—a straightforward personality indeed.
"Aren't you getting a bit old not to be married yet?" Liu Zhenglong glanced at the actress behind Feng Yi.
"Haven't had my fill of fun yet, no rush for marriage!" Feng Yi said.
"You'd better settle down soon, or you'll regret it later!" Liu Zhenglong said with a chuckle.
"Brother, stop teasing me. Who in our circle doesn't know the name Liu Zhenglong?"
"I haven't reached your level yet. When I do, then I'll think about getting married!" Feng Yi laughed mischievously.
Liu Zhenglong, in his youth, was notoriously wild, having pursued countless stars and supermodels, a lifestyle that Feng Yi greatly admired.
"Alright, you rascal, you've got no serious bone in your body. Go stay put at the banquet, I don't have time to chat idly right now!" Liu Zhenglong said with an amused shake of his head.
"Okay then, I'll go inside. We'll have a proper catch-up later." Feng Yi, aware that Liu Zhenglong still had guests to attend to, left his female companion and walked into the venue after saying so.
"Feng Yi really does remind me of my younger days, leading around a starlet in her prime. But that starlet's got too wide a gap between her legs, the kid doesn't have my taste—willing to take anyone onto his arm!" Liu Zhenglong chuckled to himself.
"Hmm, that's Li Haiping's car; the guy actually showed up!" Liu Zhenglong's expression shifted, revealing a hint of bemusement.
Among the tycoons of Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, there were two known "infertile" magnates. Both were businessmen, though they were involved in different fields, yet both were top figures in their respective areas!
One of these magnates was Liu Zhenglong, and the other was Li Haiping!
Li Haiping was also childless, and even a few years older than Liu Zhenglong, had been wearing the hat of infertility for over a decade.
Liu Zhenglong and Li Haiping were extremely good friends, bound by their shared suffering, truly brothers in adversity!
However, once his wife got pregnant, Liu Zhenglong didn't dare to go and rub it in Li Haiping's face. After all, Li Haiping had been trying to conceive for twenty years, and to this day had yet to see any fruition, it seemed destined for him to be childless in this life.
What Liu Zhenglong hadn't expected, though, was that Li Haiping would take the initiative to pay him a visit.
A custom-made, stretch Bentley rolled up with a very memorable license plate, a string of 88888, radiating high-end luxury. A middle-aged man stepped out of the car, slim and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, seemingly frail but with an aura of authority.
"Zheng Long, you're not being fair!" Li Haiping didn't start with congratulations, but rather began by blaming Liu Zhenglong.
"Li, what do you mean by that? It's a joyous occasion for me, you don't congratulate me, but you're adding to my troubles?" Liu Zhenglong laughed, knowing that Li Haiping was green with envy.
"Zheng Long, come here, let's have a good chat."
Li Haiping dragged Liu Zhenglong into a corner, clearly having something confidential to discuss.
"Li, what are you doing? I'm busy right now, lots of people are coming, and I have to greet them at the door, can we talk about this later?" Liu Zhenglong called out.
"No, I want to talk now, it won't take much of your time!" Li Haiping wasn't willing to wait another moment.
"Li, what's so urgent?" Liu Hailong and Li Haiping moved to a quiet spot.
"Zheng Long, we have been friends for so many years, even saw doctors together. Your wife is now carrying a child, and here I am, still all alone. Isn't that pitiful?" said Li Haiping.
"Haha, Li, what have you to be pitiful about? How many in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan are richer than you?" Liu Zhenglong chuckled, knowing full well what Li Haiping aimed at.
"Don't give me the runaround, who cured your illness?" Li Haiping asked straight out.
Li Haiping had come precisely for this; he and Liu Zhenglong had undergone medical treatment together, knowing each other's condition intimately.
Now that Liu Zhenglong had found the Divine Doctor and his wife had gotten pregnant, Li Haiping thought that if he could find the same Divine Doctor, perhaps he could cure his ailment too!
"Li, not to be rude, but look at how skinny you are. You still want to think about having kids?" Liu Zhenglong teased.
"Bugger off, hurry up and tell me, where did you find this Divine Doctor who cured your problem?" Li Haiping said, his face turning red.
"You're asking a favor of me and yet you talk so abrasively. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!" Liu Zhenglong replied with annoyance, teasing Li Haiping.
"Liu Zhenglong, you really are something. Your wife is pregnant without any regrets, and you've forgotten your brother in adversity!" Li Haiping said gravely.
The relationship between Li Zhenglong and him was excellent; they were comrades in misfortune. Now that Liu Zhenglong's wife was pregnant, it left Li Haiping feeling disgruntled inside.
"I have never forgotten about you, Big Brother, but I don't like the tone of your voice," Liu Zhenglong said coyly.
Li Haiping was more successful in business than him, and it wasn't often that this business magnate was put at a disadvantage. Liu Zhenglong naturally wanted to make the most of it.
"Zheng Long, my mother is over sixty and dreams of having a grandchild. Please take pity on me and tell me where you got treated for your illness!"
Li Haiping lost his usual air of grandeur and began to plead, teary-eyed and runny-nosed, which amazed Liu Zhenglong.
