Fortunately, his eye was saved.
"Well, you should get ready. Between Cao Yuliang and Chen Jinpeng, which of the two families is more reliable and can be supported as a subordinate force of our Li family?" Li Chaoba asked.
"Chen Jinpeng is easier to control, but Cao Yuliang is a bit cunning." Li Shanying said, "It's just that Chen Jinpeng is Cao Yuliang's little brother, so it's not easy to instigate him directly. But the Chen family is the most suitable, because Chen Huanling is the vice president of the Songning Martial Artist Guild!"
"Well, let's put this matter aside for now. I'll think about how to do it." Li Chaoba didn't let Li Shanying contact them directly, but decided to wait and see.
"Okay, Grandpa!" Li Shanying nodded and retreated to prepare for the competition at the summit.
What Xiao Chen didn't know was that the matter between him and Shen Jingxuan yesterday had aroused Shen Zhenghao's suspicion. Although Shen Zhenghao didn't directly ask Shen Jingxuan about it, he still found someone to inquire about what happened at Cheng Mengying's birthday party the next day.
He found that it was indeed Xiao Chen who sent Shen Jingxuan back that night, and the car was indeed Xiao Chen's. Most importantly, Shen Jingxuan didn't drink at the party! She didn't drink. Logically speaking, Shen Jingxuan shouldn't have fallen asleep in the car. Did something really happen between her and Xiao Chen?
Shen Zhenghao couldn't believe it. In his opinion, no matter who Shen Jingxuan liked, she wouldn't like Xiao Chen, because the gap between them was too big. When Xiao Chen was in Songning First High School and hadn't been expelled from the Xiao family, Shen Jingxuan had no feelings for Xiao Chen.
When Shen Zhenghao asked for her engagement partner, he also listed all the children of these families and mentioned Xiao Chen. But at that time, Shen Jingxuan's reaction was very indifferent. She also said that Xiao Chen was Cheng Mengying's fiancé, so it was impossible for them to be together.
Now, Xiao Chen was expelled from the Xiao family and transferred to the Second High School. Was it possible for the two to have a relationship?
But as soon as this idea came to his mind, Shen Zhenghao felt more and more suspicious! He couldn't ask Shen Jingxuan directly, but he could ask Chen Jinpeng about his relationship with Shen Jingxuan and … about Xiao Chen!
Therefore, when Shen Zhenghao came to this conclusion, he was going to talk to Chen Jinpeng and take him to Chen Huanling to see if he could solve the family's need for medicinal herbs.
Chen Jinpeng was very happy to be asked out by Shen Zhenghao. Although Shen Jingxuan was indifferent to him, wasn't the engagement of a big family like this? Once the family approved of it, the opinions of the parties involved didn't seem to matter.
As long as Shen Zhenghao approved of him, there wouldn't be any obstacles for him to be with Shen Jingxuan.
"Uncle Shen, are you looking for me?" For Chen Jinpeng, skipping class was a common occurrence. He directly greeted Cao Yuliang and went to the school gate to get in Shen Zhenghao's car.
"En, I want to talk to you about Jingxuan." Shen Zhenghao smiled and said, "How is your relationship with Jingxuan?"
"Ah … It's okay …" Chen Jinpeng didn't dare to tell the truth. The truth was that their relationship wasn't going well, and it seemed to be getting more and more uncoordinated. However, he didn't dare to say this kind of thing.
"Oh, yes, last night, why did Xiao Chen send Jingxuan back? Didn't you send her back? "Shen Zhenghao asked calmly.
"Yesterday, don't mention it. Yesterday, Brother Liang … Oh, it's Cao Yuliang. I don't know what happened to him, but he talked nonsense at Cheng Mengying's party. After that, he said that he didn't know what he said. I had no choice but to go and comfort him." Chen Jinpeng said with some depression.
"Oh … I heard that Xiao Chen used to pursue Jingxuan? Will there be a revival between him and Jingxuan? Jinpeng, you have to be careful. "Shen Zhenghao reminded him.
"Ai, I'm angry when I talk about this!" Chen Jinpeng was also very sullen. There was no one to talk to before. This time, it was Shen Zhenghao who took the initiative to find him. So, he complained about Xiao Chen's various evil deeds, including Xiao Chen and Shen Jingxuan falling into the sea together and coming back together. Xiao Chen invited Shen Jingxuan to sit in his car. These things were all told to Shen Zhenghao!
"Oh? There are these things? " Shen Zhenghao's heart sank. The contact between Shen Jingxuan and Xiao Chen was frequent these days. Did something really happen between them in private?
What made him most suspicious was why Shen Jingxuan got in the car when Xiao Chen invited her. He couldn't understand this behavior. If Shen Jingxuan didn't like Xiao Chen, why did she get in the car?
The first time they fell into the sea, it could be said to be an accident, but this time, there was obviously a purpose. So, Shen Zhenghao asked, "Why did Jingxuan get in Xiao Chen's car?"
"This is also my fault. I joked that Xiao Chen can pursue Jingxuan." Chen Jinpeng said, "I didn't expect Xiao Chen to be so shameless. Don't you know Jingxuan's character? She isn't good at rejecting and attacking others … "
There was nothing wrong with Shen Jingxuan's character being kind, but to say that Shen Jingxuan agreed to get in the car with Xiao Chen because he wanted to pursue her, it was a bit unbelievable!
"Jinpeng, I don't want to scold you, but how can you make such a joke?" Shen Zhenghao's face became serious. "In the future, you should stop making such jokes. It's not good for both of our families!"
"I understand …" Chen Jinpeng couldn't say it out loud. He could basically guess that it was because he told Shen Jingxuan that someone wanted to harm Xiao Chen on the road, and Shen Jingxuan was such a kind person. She was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Chen, so she got in Xiao Chen's car.
If he said this, Shen Zhenghao would definitely be very angry. You knew it was dangerous. Why didn't you stop Shen Jingxuan from getting in the car? What if Li Shanying went crazy and killed Shen Jingxuan as well?
"Oh right, let's go visit your father together. We can talk about your engagement with Jingxuan." Shen Zhenghao wanted to use the engagement to pressure Chen Huanling so that he would do his best to help the Shen Family get the herbs.
The reason why he brought Chen Jinpeng was because he knew that Chen Jinpeng liked Shen Jingxuan very much. With him adding fuel to the fire, Chen Huanling might agree for the sake of his son.
"Okay, that's great!" Chen Jinpeng was very happy to hear that he was going to get engaged with Shen Jingxuan. If they really got engaged, then Xiao Chen would be the best, and Shen Jingxuan would be his.
Shen Zhenghao drove to the Warrior Guild, to Chen Huanling's office.
"Brother Shen, why are you here?" Chen Huanling didn't hesitate and quickly got up to greet him. Although he was the vice-leader of the Warrior Guild, Shen Zhenghao was also a direct descendant of the Shen Family, so he didn't dare to slight him.
"Haha, I saw Jinpeng when I sent Jingxuan to school today. I chatted with him to see how his relationship with Jingxuan is." Shen Zhenghao smiled and said, "We chatted, and Jinpeng said that he wanted to confirm his engagement with Jingxuan as soon as possible, so I brought him here."
Shen Zhenghao was also very careful with his words. He turned his own intention into Chen Jinpeng's intention. However, Chen Jinpeng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. This was his intention anyway. Shen Zhenghao's words highlighted the weight of Chen Jinpeng's words.
"So it's like this. Engagement is a good thing." Chen Huanling nodded, "I heard that the Yue Family and the Tang Family are also preparing to hold an engagement ceremony in the next few days. Speaking of which, these big families are almost ready. We can also make preparations here!"
"Yes, but this is a big thing after all. I have to inform the Shen Family." Shen Zhenghao said, "However, in order to show the ability of the in-laws, can Vice-Leader Chen show some courage? Can you get some of the medicinal herbs I asked for before? This way, Jinpeng will also have face! After all, to put it bluntly, although you're the Vice President of the Songning Martial Arts Guild, the Shen Family is … "
"I know this." When Chen Huanling heard Shen Zhenghao's words, he basically understood everything. He knew why Shen Zhenghao was here. After all, it was still the matter of medicinal herbs! He said somewhat helplessly, "Elder Brother Shen, it's not that I don't want to help you, but a while ago, I really asked Shopkeeper Tai from the Warrior Market to help me deal with the Sun Family. If I ask him again in such a short period of time, it's not very good. Besides, it's hard to say if he will continue to help! After all, favors are mutual. He didn't ask me for anything, so how can I ask him? "
Previously, Shen Zhenghao thought that Chen Huanling's excuses were all excuses, but now that Chen Huanling said it so clearly, it didn't seem like he was lying. So, he could only smile bitterly and say, "Brother Chen, big brother is really anxious. If he wasn't anxious, he wouldn't have come personally to talk about this."
"Alright, I'll ask for you." Chen Huanling also saw that Shen Zhenghao was anxious. Looking at his son's expectant gaze, he knew that this kid was infatuated with Shen Jingxuan and really wanted to get engaged. So, Chen Huanling could only put down his pride and ask Tai Mucheng for help again, "Give me a list of the medicinal herbs you need. I'll go and talk to Shopkeeper Tai now."
"Thank you so much, Brother Chen!" Shen Zhenghao was overjoyed. He quickly took out the list that he had prepared and handed it to Chen Huanling, "This is it. The more the better!"
"Alright, wait for me here with Jinpeng!" Chen Huanling glanced at the list, nodded, and left the office.
Tai Mucheng didn't expect Chen Huanling to trouble him again. He looked at the list in his hand and casually put it to the side. He only smiled and said, "Vice-President Chen, you really think highly of me. These medicinal ingredients are all incomparably precious and limited. I can't even get a few of them in a year. Moreover, they all require a lot of points to exchange for them. Don't even talk about a large quantity, it'll be very strenuous for me to gather just one medicinal ingredient for you. If I directly sell them to you without points, I'll be making a huge mistake. If I were to be investigated by the higher-ups because of this, I'd be wasting my effort for nothing."
