Chapter 187 Friends for a Lifetime (1/2)



Li Xiyue was laughing her head off, while Wu Laohu was so angry he was about to vomit blood.

The police couldn't find any trace of the thief, and even after he mobilized all his henchmen in the capital, they couldn't find a single clue. His vast fortune seemed to have vanished into thin air.

We've been caught in a trap.

He felt incredibly guilty towards his sworn brother, Black Cripple, regretting his past cruel mockery. Now that the situation was his own, he felt even more powerless, his face swollen from the slap.

Am I getting old?

For the first time, Wu Laohu had this thought and began to doubt the meaning of life.

But none of that is important right now. What's important is...

"Lu Feng, take that list of medicinal herbs right now and go to each province to collect them. That batch of goods needs to be delivered in a month, so we can't delay it."

Lu Feng knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately agreed, "Yes, godfather."

After everyone left, Wu Laohu sat weakly in a chair. How could so many unfortunate things happen so soon after the New Year?

It seems this year won't be easy.

Xie Mingying went out early in the morning to buy some gifts, intending to visit the Chu family and see Quan Yicheng. On the way, she met Ye Tian.

“Brother Ye Tian, ​​I can’t help you anymore. Li Xiyue and Brother Xun are a perfect match. Their relationship is very deep, and no one else can easily interfere.”

Ye Tian looked at her strangely, "Yingying, what's wrong? Didn't you encourage me to pursue her before the New Year? What's wrong..."

"I was too arrogant before, Brother Ye Tian. I take back what I said before. I will no longer pester someone who doesn't like me. The same goes for you. Let's both keep some dignity for ourselves. Letting go of things that don't belong to us is a kind of grace, isn't it?"

In the past few days, she has come to understand Chu Xun's feelings for Li Xiyue. She also realizes that even though she and Chu Xun grew up together, she has never been able to win Chu Xun's heart. Even if she continues to pester him, it may not have a good outcome and may even damage the relationship between the two families.

Besides, Li Xiyue is beautiful, skilled in medicine, and even better at fighting than her. She was completely convinced and would never do anything irrational again.

Moreover, she likes Li Xiyue and wants to be friends with her.

Men are like that; if one is gone, another will come along, but good friends are rare. She could do without Chu Xun, but she couldn't do without Li Xiyue.

Xie Mingying left after she finished speaking. Ye Tian frowned. It had only been a short time since he last saw her, but Xie Mingying seemed like a completely different person.

It seems that Xie Mingying's path is blocked; what other way should we take...?

"Yueyue, what's making you so happy?" Chu Xingbang was reading the newspaper in the living room when he saw the little girl humming a tune as she came downstairs, seemingly in a good mood. He felt happy too.

Li Xiyue stomped downstairs, came to Chu Xingbang's side, and hugged his arm. "Grandpa Chu, I had a dream about getting rich last night. I was so happy."

"Hahaha..." Chu Xingbang laughed heartily, "You child, even a dream can make you this happy. What's wrong? Are you short of money? If you need money, just tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will give it to you."

His granddaughter-in-law from the Chu family can't get rich in dreams; she has to get rich in reality.

Li Xiyue shook her head. "I don't lack money. I just had a good dream, so I'm in a good mood."

The fact that Quan Yicheng had been arrested was not told to the old man, nor was it kept from Aunt Tian, ​​for fear that they would worry.

"What sweet dream did you have, sister-in-law?" Quan Yicheng, who had just returned from shopping with Aunt Tian, ​​sat down and asked with a smile.

Just as Li Xiyue was about to say something, Xie Mingying came over, carrying large and small bags.

Quan Yicheng got up and went to take the things. "Yingying, did you bring the whole department store here?"

“These are for you, these are for Aunt Tian, ​​these are for Grandpa Chu, and these…” Xie Mingying glanced at Li Xiyue and whispered, “These are for my sister-in-law.”

"What?" Quan Yicheng thought he had misheard. Yingying actually called her sister-in-law?

Li Xiyue was also a little surprised, but this also proved that Xie Mingying had completely given up on Chu Xun. She stood up and went over, "Wow, you gave me so many gifts?"
