"Are you Miss Lin Xuelin? I'm Lei Jing, Lei Yuan's older sister!"

As soon as Lin Xue got off the plane, she was stopped by a beautiful woman.

"Hello, Sister Jing! I'm Lin Xue!"

Lin Xue's hair has grown out a bit, and she no longer needs to wear a hat all the time, so she looks very capable.

The two of them standing together immediately attracted a lot of attention.

After all, it's rare to see two such outstanding young ladies in a small city.

"My brother has already told me about your matter. Let's go back to my place now!"

Lei Jing took the suitcase from Lin Xue and led her out of the airport.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Sister Jing. My matter has already caused Comrade Lei Yuan a lot of trouble, and now I have to trouble you again, Sister Jing!"

Lin Xue followed Lei Jing and spoke somewhat shyly.

"It's nothing. I heard you also donated 20 million to my brother's place. If you really feel bad about it, you can also donate some money to our lab!"

"Haha, our lab is much poorer than my brother's workplace!"

Lei Jing is a very straightforward woman who makes no attempt to hide her intentions.

Moreover, when she speaks, her voice is loud and full of energy.

Walking among the crowd, she exuded the aura of a big sister.

"No problem. I'll donate 10 million to your lab later. If my Gu poison can be cured, I'll donate another 10 million!"

In fact, Lin Xue really liked Lei Jing's approach: if a problem can be solved with money, there's no need to worry about not being able to repay a favor.

Moreover, given this connection, they would likely be more willing to give her the green light in many matters.

It might be possible to do it without money, but the path to breaking the curse would be much more difficult.

After all, having someone specifically willing to help makes a huge difference in efficiency!

Lei Jing drove a very low-key and durable SUV. The two drove to the other side of the city and entered a residential building.

"Sister Jing, what brings you to live here?"

In Lin Xue's mind, Lei Jing should be like her younger brother, living in a special place. She never imagined that Lei Jing would live like an ordinary person in a neighborhood in the city.

"I came here to buy equipment. This is the house I bought here. Then last night I received a call from my brother, who knew you were coming, so I stayed an extra day!"

Lei Jing skillfully opened the door and led Lin Xue inside.

This room is a typical 3-bedroom, 1-living room room, but one of the bedrooms has been converted into a study by Lei Jing, and the other is her small laboratory.

"If you don't mind, you'll have to sleep with me tonight. Um, if you're not used to sleeping with other people, I can sleep on the sofa and you can sleep in the bedroom!"

Lei Jing put Lin Xue's suitcase aside and then explained her family situation to Lin Xue.

"It's an honor to share a bedroom with a beauty like Sister Jing. How could I possibly complain!"

Lin Xue immediately waved her hand, indicating that she had no problem.

"That's good. You must be very tired from the journey. There's a bathroom right next door. You can take a shower and rest!"

"I have to go out for a bit later. We'll go back to the lab tomorrow morning!"

"Since I don't live here often, I didn't prepare any ingredients. If you're hungry, you can order takeout, and I'll take you out for a big meal tonight!"

"Apart from the things in the lab, you can use everything in this room!"

"I'm running out of time, Xue, you should rest first, I have to go!"

Lei Jing didn't know what urgent matter awaited her, so she hurriedly told Lin Xue and left.

After Lei Jing left, Lin Xue took a hot shower.

Since I wasn't sleepy anyway, I went to the study to find a book to read.

Lei Jing's study contains many books, covering a wide range of topics.

Moreover, many of these books record the Miao people's methods of raising Gu poison, which Lin Xue needed to learn about right now, so she picked one up and sat down at her desk to read it.

Before I knew it, several hours had passed.

When Lei Jing returned, she saw Lin Xue engrossed in reading at her desk.

Beside her was a notebook, filled with dense notes of knowledge points.

"Ah Xue, stop looking now, I'll take you out to eat!"

Who wouldn't like a serious person?

Seeing Lin Xue like this, Lei Jing suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

No wonder her brother, who is such a cold person, was willing to help Lin Xue. This girl is really quite pitiful.

"Jing-jie, you're back!"

Lin Xue rubbed her neck, shook her head, and then stood up in front of the bookstore.

"Okay, I'm going to change my clothes. You should get ready too!"

"Tonight I'll take you to try some of the local delicacies of our Spring City!"

Lei Jing patted Lin Xue on the shoulder, then went back to the bedroom to change her clothes.

Lin Xue marked the books she had just read and tidied up her notebook, placing it on the table.

She planned to continue reading after finishing her meal, having previously searched online for records about Miao witchcraft.

However, apart from some novels and film and television works, there are no detailed records at all.

However, in Lei Jing's room that afternoon, she found many books about Miao witchcraft, so their laboratory's research must be related to this!

Springtime Charm: A Food Street!

"Ah Xue, I won't take you to any fancy restaurants. The food there is expensive and nothing new!"

"Let's eat our way from the beginning to the end of this food street tonight!"

"Don't worry, this Spring Charm Food Street covers all the local delicacies from our Spring City. It's guaranteed to satisfy your appetite and give you the ultimate enjoyment!"

It wasn't that Lei Jing didn't want to take Lin Xue to a better place; it was just that she was a little short of money.

This trip to purchase supplies has cost her all the money she had.

As the head of logistics at the laboratory, she was more penniless than she was.

The reason she rushed out in the afternoon was to borrow some money from her friends.

In the end, he was dragged by his friends to do part-time work and didn't come back until late at night.

Lei Jing did not intend to tell Lin Xue about these things.

On the one hand, she didn't want to embarrass her younger brother, and on the other hand, she didn't want Lin Xue to look down on her.

"Sister Jing, actually, this is my favorite snack."

"You have no idea, I haven't eaten any of these good things since I got together with that pervert!"

"He wouldn't let me cook for myself either, and he forced me to eat salad and bread with him every day. It's a life even a dog wouldn't want to live!"

As soon as Lin Xue entered the food street, the aroma wafting from the street made her mouth water.
