"Hmm …" Xiao Chen nodded and let out a sigh of relief inwardly. Now that he had found the second set of Body-Refining Herbs, he was one step closer to improving his strength.
After sending the tricycle to the grocery store, Xiao Chen and Tang Tang went to a 24-hour bank together. Watching Tang Tang withdraw the 10,000 yuan that she had just deposited not long ago, Xiao Chen's heart involuntarily quivered.
However, Tang Tang did not seem to care about that at all. She took the money and handed it to Xiao Chen directly, saying, "Here, take it!"
At this point, what else could Xiao Chen say? He could only keep the 10,000 yuan with him.
When they arrived at the school, Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei were also there. Lou Zhenming was fawning on Cheng Mengying and returning the review materials that he had picked up yesterday to Cheng Mengying.
Although Cheng Mengying did not like Lou Zhenming, she did not want to hit a smiling face. Moreover, Lou Zhenming was here to return the books.
"Mengying, did anything happen to you yesterday?" In fact, Lou Zhenming wanted to get some information from Cheng Mengying and find out the background of that stupid big guy and whether he was Cheng Mengying's bodyguard.
"No, what could have happened to me?" Cheng Mengying asked back.
"Haha, nothing. By the way, where is the big guy who was walking with Xiao Chen?" Lou Zhenming asked casually, pretending that nothing had happened.
"What big guy?" Cheng Mengying was slightly stunned.
"Cousin Mengying, it's that stupid big guy, have you forgotten? He came to us to ask for directions. Since we were going the same way, he left with us. I think he saw that Cousin Mengying was pretty and wanted to hit on her! "Jin Beibei suddenly said.
"Ask for directions? Hit on her? " This time, it was Lou Zhenming's turn to be stunned. But he was relieved, too. Everything was fine as long as the guy had nothing to do with Cheng Mengying.
"Yes. He asked us for directions. Then, he offered to help me and Cousin Mengying carry our bags. Later, when we were robbed, he tried to be a hero and save the damsel in distress!" Jin Beibei said, "Cousin Mengying hates such guys the most. So, I don't have any impression on him!"
"Oh. That explains a lot …" Lou Zhenming suddenly became happy again. It turned out that Mengying of Cheng Mengying was not a fan of saving the damsel in distress. Fortunately, he failed yesterday. Now, he had no regrets at all of them. of Cheng Mengying and Cheng Mengying!
As for the relationship between Cheng Mengying and Xiao Chen, Lou Zhenming did not ask at all. In Lou Zhenming's eyes, there was certainly nothing between them. Also, when Xiao Chen and Tang Tang walked into the classroom together, Lou Zhenming was even more reassured!
It was obvious that Xiao Chen was interested in her. The bumpkin from the mountains could only dream about the former campus belle.
After asking Slim Monkey to return Xiao Chen's review materials to him, Lou Zhenming did not even bother to talk to Xiao Chen anymore. Yesterday, he had been forced to do it. Today, he would not be bothered if he did not see it.
With the help of the disciples of the Jin Family, Jin Beibei's car was sent to the 4S shop. After the car was repaired, it was sent back. It was said that a pipe had fallen off. It was not a big problem.
The day passed in an uneventful way. Xiao Chen still read the review materials for the whole day. Although breakfast was a lot of money, it was better to have one more way out. Moreover, Xiao Chen would have to rely on himself to take the college entrance examination in the future. It was impossible for his family to do anything for him.
In the evening, after school, Cheng Mengying sent a message to Xiao Chen, asking Xiao Chen to go back with her in the car. Although the Beetle was small, it was still enough for them to sit together.
However, Xiao Chen was going to buy medicine in the evening. Naturally, he turned down the lady's kindness.
However, Xiao Chen's concealment made Miss Cheng misunderstand. Hearing that Xiao Chen said that he had something to do after school, she could not help but glance at Tang Tang, somewhat annoyed! Are you blind or something? I'm so lovely and youthful, and you hang out with Tang Tang all the time? You deserve to be beaten to death!
After school, Cheng Mengying left with Jin Beibei first. She was quite annoyed, but her anger subsided after she got in the car. Thinking of the danger yesterday, she was a little worried.
"Beibei, do you think those people last night will come to make trouble tonight?" asked Cheng Mengying.
"Cousin Mengying, are you worried about brother-in-law Xiao Chen?" asked Jin Beibei with a smile.
"Why should I worry about him? I'm just worried that his death will damage my reputation. The outside world will think that I'm narrow-minded and can't tolerate others. They will definitely think that I killed Xiao Chen! "explained Cheng Mengying.
"Oh." Jin Beibei nodded.
"What do you mean by 'oh'?" Hearing Jin Beibei's answer, Cheng Mengying felt that Jin Beibei was asking for a beating.
"I just got it," said Jin Beibei.
"If you got it, why don't you follow Xiao Chen and see what he's doing?" ordered Cheng Mengying helplessly.
"Okay." Jin Beibei started the car and happened to see Xiao Chen, Tang Tang, and Zheng Xiaokun walking out of the school together.
However, to Cheng Mengying's surprise, Xiao Chen parted ways with Tang Tang and Zheng Xiaokun at the gate of the school and didn't go with them. That made the young mistress, who had been a little resentful, feel a little happier.
Xiao Chen didn't dare to take any side roads today. He would rather take a detour and take the main street. At least, it would be safer if there were more people on the main street. Of course, if the people who were going to deal with him were not afraid of being affected, they could also deal with him on the main street. But Xiao Chen just wanted to make him feel at ease.
However, Xiao Chen didn't go far when he was slightly shocked! It seemed that he was being followed again! Xiao Chen didn't look back, but his enhanced senses made Xiao Chen feel that he was being followed!
Am I so unlucky? Did the blockhead from yesterday come again? After all, the two martial artists died together when he was in danger for the first time, so Xiao Chen was temporarily safe. But yesterday, the blockhead didn't die, so it was reasonable for him to come again today.
Xiao Chen was so anxious that cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Suddenly, he heard the familiar teasing voice of Elder Heaven Ancestor, "Xiao Chen, you seem very nervous."
"Nonsense. I'm being followed. How can I not be nervous? Don't tell me you didn't notice it! "said Xiao Chen with a bitter smile.
"You don't say. I really didn't notice it. Except for your goddess, I didn't notice anyone else," said the Elder Heaven Ancestor mockingly.
"Goddess?" Xiao Chen was stunned. "What goddess?"
"Your fiancée, Cheng Mengying … Oh, I'm sorry. Now she's your mistress, Miss Cheng," said the Elder Heaven Ancestor.
"Cheng Mengying?" Xiao Chen turned his head in surprise. Sure enough, not far away, a red Beetle was slowly driving! Xiao Chen was surprised and silent. He didn't know why. When he was in the Xiao family, Xiao Chen didn't feel that he had any friends who cared about him except for Zhu Yingxiong. But after he was expelled from the Xiao family and lost his power, there were so many people who were good to him!
Tang Tang, Cheng Mengying, Xiao Chen remembered them.
Although Miss Cheng was always a proud princess, Xiao Chen often saw her kind and warm side after he had been in contact with her for a long time.
As for Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei, Xiao Chen didn't intend to expose them. Xiao Chen didn't want them to know that he went to buy medicine because he wanted to keep it a secret. After all, if they knew where he bought medicine, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't leak it. If the Cheng family or his enemies knew it, it would be troublesome.
But since they already knew, Xiao Chen didn't need to hide it. He also believed that Miss Cheng wouldn't do anything bad to him!
It was the same pharmacy as before. Xiao Chen had visited it once two days ago. The medicinal ingredients that he bought today could still be used one last time. The supply would stop tomorrow, so Xiao Chen planned to buy all the medicinal ingredients that he needed for tomorrow.
He pushed the door open and entered the drugstore. The girl named "Yanyan" was still sitting behind the counter and reading a book. She was full of tranquility, which made people feel very comfortable.
Hearing that a customer came, Hong Yan put down the book in her hand and looked up. It was Xiao Chen. She couldn't help but be slightly surprised, "It's you?"
"Yes, I'm here again," Xiao Chen nodded, "When I came here the day before yesterday, I also said that I need five medicines."
"Oh, wait a minute. I'll call my grandpa." Hong Yan didn't say anything more. When it came to the Bitter Benefit Fruit, she couldn't make the decision. Although she was a rich lady, she just came here to gain experience and learn. Grandpa Chen still had to make the decision for the operation of the drugstore.
After saying that, Hong Yan turned around and went into the inner room. After a while, she came out with "her grandpa".
"Young man, it's you?" Grandpa Chen glanced at Xiao Chen, "I heard that you want to buy medicine?"
"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded.
"I can sell you another medicine at a loss, but the next one won't be at this price," Grandpa Chen said as he began to fill the medicine for Xiao Chen skillfully. "Are you ready for ten thousand yuan?"
"I'm ready. Thank you, grandpa!" Xiao Chen also knew that it was already good to take advantage of him twice. It was a bit unrealistic to keep taking advantage of him. He wasn't related to the other party. Why would the other party sell him the medicine at a loss? However, Xiao Chen was now in poverty. He couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, next time I buy it … how much will it cost?"
"Next time … I can give you a discount. Twenty thousand yuan. The Bitter Benefit Fruit can be considered as a gift. But next time, I will charge fifty thousand yuan for the cost." Grandpa Chen said. In fact, his condition was already very generous. Even if it was fifty thousand yuan, it was already very considerate for Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen wasn't the kind of greedy person. Although he felt that it would be difficult for him to take out twenty thousand yuan in three days, and it would be even more difficult to take out fifty thousand yuan in the future, Xiao Chen had no choice. He could only take one step at a time.
"Thank you, grandpa. I will gather the money as soon as possible." Xiao Chen nodded and said.
Grandpa Chen didn't say anything more. After getting the medicine, he handed it to Xiao Chen and said, "If you can get the Bitter Benefit Fruit yourself, I can still sell the medicine to you for twenty thousand yuan in the future, but I don't have many Bitter Benefit Fruit."
