"Sir, I don't care who you are. I've already given you face. I'm from the ancient martial arts family, the Cheng family!" Cheng Zhongfan was different from Cheng Zhongming. Cheng Zhongming was a businessman and had money. Although he could fork out a hundred thousand yuan, he wasn't well-off. What was the use of spending a hundred thousand yuan to buy a bunch of useless herbs?
"Yanyan, write the invoice for this customer!" Grandpa Chen ignored Cheng Zhongfan and instructed Hong Yan directly.
"Okay, Grandpa." Hong Yan could naturally hear the difference between "customer" and "customer" in her grandpa's words. These were two different groups of customers, so the invoices they took out were also different.
Hong Yan took out a slightly yellowed detailed list that looked like the ones in the past. There weren't any boxes on it, but the words "Hong's Chamber of Commerce" were written at the top of the side.
"Aren't you forcing me to buy and sell? Don't you want to stay in Songning City anymore? " The man in shades was a little unhappy. I've already given you a lot of face for a small pharmacy. Do you really think that you're a great person?
Don't you know how powerful the Cheng family in Songning City is? If you want to do business here, offending the Cheng family will be difficult!
However, when Cheng Zhongfan saw the stack of invoices in Hong Yan's hand, his eyes suddenly jumped. He turned around and raised his arm. "Pa!" He slapped the man in shades on the face. The sunglasses on his face were directly slapped away. "Shut up!"
The man in shades was stunned by Cheng Zhongfan's slap. He covered his red and swollen face in shock and stood there dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say.
However, Cheng Zhongfan didn't care about him. Instead, he politely said to Grandpa Chen, "I'm sorry, old sir. My subordinates don't know the rules. You're right. The herbs have already been prepared. If I don't buy it, no one will buy it."
"En …" Grandpa Chen naturally knew why Cheng Zhongfan changed so much. However, he wasn't surprised. He only snorted coldly to express that he understood.
"Aren't you going to take the money? This medicine is just right for you to nourish your brain. Don't you know what's good for you! "Cheng Zhongfan shouted at the man in shades.
"Yes, yes …" The man in shades quickly took out a bank card from his pocket and carefully handed it to Hong Yan.
Hong Yan swiped the card and let the man in shades enter the password. Then, Cheng Zhongfan stuffed the bag of medicine into the man's arms and left the pharmacy dejectedly.
Hong Yan covered her mouth and snickered behind him, but Cheng Zhongfan didn't dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction.
After exiting the door, the man in shades cautiously asked, "Brother Fan, what kind of organization is that Hong Chamber of Commerce?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Cheng Zhong Fan frowned. Clearly, he didn't want to say more. He just said, "Come, let's go back!"
Inside Old Master Cheng's practice room in the Cheng Family's mansion, Cheng Tian Qiu was sitting upright on a wooden armchair, while Cheng Zhong Fan came to this room the moment he returned.
"How's the investigation going? Did Zhongming really make Xiao Chen a servant? He didn't secretly help him, right? "Cheng Tianqiu saw Cheng Zhongfan come in and asked faintly.
Cheng Tianqiu wasn't stupid. He was old and shrewd. Although Cheng Zhongming said that making Xiao Chen a servant was more humiliating and destroying Xiao Chen's self-esteem, Cheng Tianqiu was afraid that Cheng Zhongming would use this as an excuse to secretly help Xiao Chen!
After all, Cheng Zhongming and Xiao Feng were sworn brothers. The relationship between the two was very deep, and Cheng Zhongming was a person who valued loyalty. Therefore, he secretly asked Cheng Zhongfan to investigate.
"Father, according to my investigation, Xiao Chen is really miserable now, and there is no sign that Eldest Brother is secretly helping him." Although Cheng Zhongfan always wanted to destroy his eldest brother's image in his father's heart and replace him, he was not a fool. He knew that his father would definitely doubt him if he talked nonsense. Therefore, no matter what he did, he always talked about the problem from an objective point of view, and also to give his father a fair impression.
"Oh? Is it really miserable? " Cheng Tianqiu was slightly stunned. He thought that he was thinking too much. No matter what, Cheng Zhongming was a member of the Cheng family, and he represented the interests of the Cheng family! Even if Xiao Feng was his sworn brother, it was just a sworn brother. The missing Zhongqian was his younger brother!
"Yes, it seems that Mengying doesn't pay Xiao Chen a penny. Xiao Chen is now poor. He has to get up at three o 'clock every day and go to the morning market to sell breakfast to make a living …" This was what Cheng Zhongfan saw with his own eyes, and it couldn't be fake.
"He? Go to the morning market to sell breakfast? "Cheng Tianqiu was shocked. A young master of the Xiao family, who used to have nothing to worry about, actually went to the morning market to sell breakfast? Who would believe it?
"Yes, Tang Tang of the Tang family also sells breakfast with him." Cheng Zhongfan said, "It seems that they have a good relationship."
"Tang Tang … Well, I see." Cheng Tianqiu also knew about the Tang family and the Yue family. At this moment, when he heard that Tang Tang and Xiao Chen were very close, he was relieved. It seemed that Xiao Chen knew that he was not worthy of Cheng Mengying, so he went to find Tang Tang, who had a similar life as him. In fact, Cheng Tianqiu was most afraid that Xiao Chen and Cheng Mengying would fall in love with each other after a long time. Now it seemed that this possibility was almost impossible.
"Xiao Chen is not a martial artist. He used to be a playboy. It is estimated that after selling for two days, his body couldn't take it anymore. In the evening, he went to a pharmacy to get some medicine to nourish his body." As Cheng Zhongfan said this, he told Cheng Tianqiu about the Hong's Chamber of Commerce.
"This kid is lucky. The Hong's Chamber of Commerce gave him a medicine for free?" Cheng Tianqiu shook his head after listening. What the Hong's Chamber of Commerce did was not something that the Cheng family could interfere with. For martial artists, there were two mysterious organizations that could not be shaken by a single family.
One was the Warrior's Guild, which was responsible for releasing information and trial tasks for martial artists. The other was the Hong's Chamber of Commerce, which specialized in selling elixirs and treasures for martial artists.
"Yes, that old thing is not a good person. He cheated me of 100,000 yuan!" Cheng Zhongfan said helplessly.
"The way they do things has always been temperamental. Don't talk nonsense!" Cheng Tianqiu looked serious and said to Cheng Zhongfan, "Since you know that the pharmacy is a branch of the Hong's Chamber of Commerce, don't provoke them in the future."
"Yes, I know!" Cheng Zhongfan responded quickly.
"Alright, don't waste your energy on a junior like Xiao Chen. Pay attention to the news of Zhongqian." Cheng Tianqiu only asked Cheng Zhongfan to investigate. Since there was no problem, he would let Xiao Chen fend for himself.
"Okay, father. I will go to the Warrior's Guild every day to inquire about the news," Cheng Zhongfan said quickly.
…
As soon as Xiao Chen returned to the villa, Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei's car also stopped at the door of the villa. However, Jin Beibei couldn't stay here today. She still had to go home. It was okay to stay outside for a night occasionally, but Master Jin wouldn't agree to stay outside all the time. He treasured this granddaughter very much.
Cheng Mengying got out of the car and glanced at Xiao Chen. She said, "Why did you buy medicine? What's wrong with your body? "
Xiao Chen knew that this matter couldn't be hidden from Chen Mengyan, but he couldn't say everything. He just said, "In fact, it's nothing. It's just a medicine to strengthen the body. My father used to give it to me. It is said that it is more likely to cultivate internal energy after drinking it."
"I see …" After listening to Xiao Chen's words, Cheng Mengying suddenly became silent.
Xiao Chen couldn't cultivate internal energy. In fact, this was not only a worry for Xiao Chen. Once upon a time, it was also a worry for Cheng Mengying. Cheng Mengying found a good-for-nothing fiancé. How could she be happy? She would definitely be resentful.
However, Cheng Mengying didn't understand this at the beginning. Now that she had been with Xiao Chen for a long time, Cheng Mengying found that Xiao Chen was actually more painful than her. It could be seen that Xiao Chen was more eager to gain strength and cultivate internal energy than anyone else, but God didn't care for him.
Of course, what Cheng Mengying didn't know was that God didn't care for Xiao Chen, but Elder Heaven Ancestor cared for Xiao Chen very much …
"I'm going to boil the medicine." Xiao Chen smiled at Cheng Mengying. "Then I will make dinner for you."
"There's no hurry. You go and boil the medicine first." Cheng Mengying shook her head. Surprisingly, she didn't stop Xiao Chen from brewing the medicine with her big missy temper, "Xiao Chen, actually, it's fine even if you don't have inner strength. In the past … I've never despised you …"
Whether she despised him or not, only Cheng Mengying knew in her heart. With her current impression of Xiao Chen, she certainly wouldn't despise Xiao Chen. It was just that in the past, to be honest, she really looked down on Xiao Chen.
"Hehe …" Xiao Chen smiled. Obviously, he also knew that the Miss didn't mean what she said. However, Xiao Chen was also very surprised that Cheng Mengying would actually say such words. Were these her true thoughts?
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen returned to the room. Even if what the Miss said was true, Xiao Chen wouldn't be naive to think that there was any result between him and Cheng Mengying now. Some things, once happened, couldn't go back.
After setting the temperature and time for the electric clay pot, Xiao Chen went to the kitchen to prepare some food. The main course was still instant noodles. As for the dishes, they were some of the dishes that were left in the fridge yesterday. Xiao Chen took them out and heated them up in the microwave before placing them on the table.
Xiao Chen and Cheng Mengying sat on one side of the table and ate. Without Jin Beibei, Cheng Mengying suddenly felt a little awkward! In the beginning, she and Xiao Chen also ate like this, but they didn't think so much. Unknowingly, today, Cheng Mengying felt that she and Xiao Chen were like a newlywed couple, eating together at the dining table at home.
If nothing happened to the Xiao family and the Cheng family, this scene would still happen in the future, wouldn't it? At that time … she should be Xiao Chen's wife!
In the past, Cheng Mengying was very averse to this matter. But somehow, when she thought of this today, she felt particularly warm, as if she had a faint expectation.
How could it be possible? Cheng Mengying shook her head and shook these messy thoughts out of her head. She quietly ate her food …
