Chapter 13 Don't make a sound, I promise I won't hurt you
Kong Wange frowned and looked over.
At a glance, she recognized the person as Kong Mengjiao, her stepmother's daughter.
It's like running into a ghost when you go out; I never expected to bump into the Kong family here.
However, since Murong Ting already knew she had returned to Jiangcheng, she no longer needed to hide it.
She rolled her eyes at Kong Mengjiao impatiently: "What are you yelling about in public? Is this the kind of manners you'd expect from a lady from a prestigious family?"
Kong Mengjiao was mocked for no reason, and her face instantly turned ugly.
She never expected to see Kong Wange here.
You should know that the prices here are not ordinary. A cup of coffee alone can cost thousands, and if you order other things, you can easily spend less than five figures at a time.
How could a country woman like her afford to come to a place like this!
"Kong Wange, what are you doing here? And now that you're back, hurry up and divorce Brother Ting."
Kong Wange leaned back on the sofa, too lazy to even lift her eyelids: "What's it to you when I get a divorce!"
"You!" Kong Mengjiao truly couldn't understand how a woman who couldn't read a single word had the audacity to challenge her!
She suddenly realized something, changed the subject, and said with a smile, "I understand, Kong Wange, all these years, you've been kept by someone, haven't you?"
It definitely is!
If you ask what she has left now, all she has is a face that's still passable.
She must have found a man to support her, otherwise, how could she be sitting here on her own?
Kong Wange looked up and curled her lips: "What, are you envious? Well, with your looks, even if you went all out, no man would be interested."
Kong Mengjiao: "..."
Her face flushed red and then turned pale, and after a long while she managed to squeeze out a few words: "You...you shameless!"
Kong Wange said calmly, "Fine, you're from a prestigious family, you have some self-respect. Let me hear what a lady like you is doing here?"
Kong Mengjiao is very proud of this.
She straightened her back even more: "Hmph, I'm here to see Chanyi today. Do you know Chanyi? She's..."
She stopped halfway through her sentence, waving her hand with a look of disinterest: "Forget it, why should I tell you all this? How could a country bumpkin like you possibly know about cicada skin!"
After saying that, she turned around and headed to a private room she had reserved.
"Wait a minute," Kong Wange called out to her, asking suspiciously, "Who did you say you wanted to see?"
Kong Mengjiao turned her head: "Chanyi, what, you want to get to know her too?"
Kong Wange felt a chill in her heart.
Holy crap, what kind of international joke is this?!
So, the fan she came to see today is Kong Mengjiao?
Seeing that Kong Wange remained silent, Kong Mengjiao became even more interested.
She turned around and said arrogantly, "Fine, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll do you a favor and give you some basic knowledge. Cicada skin is a legendary existence in the world of traditional Chinese medicine!"
"There's no illness in this world that she can't cure. Do you know how much she charges for a single consultation? It'll scare you to death!"
She scoffed, "Seven figures! Ha, you've never seen so much money in your life, have you?"
She became more and more proud as she spoke. Yes, Chanyi was such a magical character, and she actually had the chance to meet her in person.
As for Kong Wange, well, she had never even heard of the name Chanyi.
That's the difference between them!
As she spoke, she said, enunciating each word clearly, "You're destined to be a country bumpkin for life, not even worthy to carry Chanyi's shoes!"
Seven figures?
So that's how the outside world is spreading rumors about her?
Although her consultation fees are not low, they are far from being this outrageous.
Often, considering the patients' financial situation, she only charges a very low consultation fee.
Kong Wange's lips twitched, and she went along with her, saying, "Yes, I'm not worthy, you are!"
"Of course!" Kong Mengjiao raised her chin.
At this point, Kong Wange was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore.
However, she still had to ask about Zhang Sao's whereabouts. Zhang Sao had worked at the Kong Family Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, so it was normal for Kong Mengjiao to know where she went after she resigned.
Normally, if she went to ask the Kong family members honestly, they would definitely not tell the truth, but today was a good opportunity.
But she couldn't reveal her identity as Chanyi, and asking directly would arouse suspicion.
After a moment's thought, she stood up and said, "Okay, you stay here and help Chanyi with her shoes. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she waved and left, seemingly losing all interest.
Kong Mengjiao was caught off guard by her sudden departure and immediately stomped her foot in anger.
But then I felt relieved.
Hmph, you've been here so long but haven't ordered anything. You're probably just here to get some staged photos!
It seems the man who's keeping her is quite stingy.
With that thought in mind, she raised her delicate chin and entered the "Elegant" private room.
Then, a waiter came in and asked, "Miss, would you like to order something?"
Kong Mengjiao opened the menu.
Upon seeing that a single steak cost over eight thousand, I immediately closed the menu.
This is so expensive, are they trying to rob us?!
Forget it, let's wait for Chanyi to come and let her treat us. Given her status, she probably wouldn't let me spend money.
She took a deep breath, turned to the waiter and waved, "I'm waiting for someone, just give me a cup of hot water."
After leaving the coffee shop, Kong Wange, wanting to buy herself some time, took out her phone, logged into Weibo, and sent a message to Kong Mengjiao: "Sorry, there's traffic on the way, I'll be late."
Inside the private room, Kong Mengjiao heard her phone ring. After reading the message, she replied considerately: 【It's okay, no rush. Be careful on your way, Chanyi! (*^▽^*)】
Kong Wange shuddered with a nausea, immediately pressed the block button, and headed towards the nearby shopping mall.
I bought a wide-brimmed hat, a face mask, and a black trench coat.
After changing her clothes, she picked up a black plastic bag and returned to the coffee shop.
In a private room at the coffee shop, Kong Mengjiao took a few sips of water and was taking out a small mirror to touch up her makeup.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Before Kong Mengjiao could even see who it was, a garbage bag was slung over her head, obscuring her vision, and then she was forced onto the sofa.
Just as she was about to call for help, she felt something sharp pressed against her throat.
At the same time, a hoarse voice rang out, "Be good, don't make a sound. Answer whatever I ask you, and I promise I won't hurt you."
