Chapter 171 - 171 Happy
The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife
171 Happy
Zhao Chuchu took the box and turned it over.
Good gosh, it really was criminal evidence related to the Jin family.
If these things were handed over, Mr. Jin would have no room for escape.
âDa Lang, when did you collect all these?â
!!
âJust when I came back.â
Xie Heng did not keep anything a secret from Zhao Chuchu.
Zhao Chuchuâs gaze crossed over Xie Heng, and she looked at the big box. It was filled with black boxes similar to the one she was holding.
âDo you want to see the others?â Xie Heng stepped aside.
Zhao Chuchu smiled and shook her head. âNo, the others didnât offend me.â
âIf someone bullies you again, you can come to me. Iâll take it out for you.â
âDo you think I look like the kind of person who would be bullied?â
There was a provincial graduate in the Jin family who might hinder Xie Hengâs studies. Otherwise, she wouldnât take action so soon.
âWell, no one can bully you, but Chuchu, I can also protect you.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Xie Heng said this, he looked at Zhao Chuchu with serious and firm eyes.
When Zhao Chuchu raised her head, she looked into his deep eyes, her heart racing.
He continued, âIâm glad that I was the first person you thought of when you got into trouble.â
When Zhao Chuchu heard that last sentence, she suddenly felt as if the room temperature was getting a little hot.
âBut what if I get you trouble too?â
âIâll gladly help you whenever you have problems. It has never been of any trouble for me.â
Zhao Chuchu thought to herself, âOh my god, Iâm falling for a teenager!â
âLetâs talk about it when it comes to that.â
Zhao Chuchu wimped out, not daring to carry on the conversation.
Her answer made Xie Heng feel a little lost.
âLetâs head up first, or Junjun might find out about this.â
Zhao Chuchu hurriedly ran up, holding the box in her arms.
Xie Heng felt a little helpless.
He locked the box, and by the time he went up, Zhao Chuchu had already left his room.
Xie Heng restored the bookshelf to its original state and went out as if nothing had happened.
âChuchu, what do you want to eat tonight?â he asked as he knocked on Zhao Chuchuâs door.
Zhao Chuchu looked up at the sky. âI have to go back to the city later, so donât worry about dinner. Iâll take care of it.â
âSteamed buns again?â Xie Hengâs resistance was apparent. âI can make a quick meal. It wonât take much time.â
âNo, letâs have fast food. Itâs quite popular among the children back where I came from.â Zhao Chuchu smiled. âAlthough they say itâs junk food, I like it very much.â
âDo you have it here?â
âOf course.â
Zhao Chuchu allowed Xie Heng to come in. She took out a family bucket from the space. She wasnât planning on hiding anything from him.
The chicken wings and fries were still hot, along with her favorite iced fizzy pop. She felt very satisfied.
What Zhao Chuchu loved the most was that the carry-on space was in a static state. Everything would be kept the way that she put them in.
âDo you always take things out like this in front of others?â Xie Heng frowned slightly. âDo you know that your sleeve is a treasure many people can only dream of?â
âNo, only you know,â said Zhao Chuchu.
Xie Hengâs lips subconsciously curved into a smile when he heard those words. âIâll go get Junjun back. You take care of these things.â
He pointed to the packaging.
âOkay.â
Xie Heng was in a light mood.
He and Zhao Chuchu both shared each otherâs biggest secrets.
Kids loved fizzy pop, and Xie Jun was no exception.
âChuchu, what kind of tea is this? Why do I feel as if somethingâs jumping on my tongue when I drink it? And itâs a little choking.â
âThis stuff is very rare. I had a hard time making three cups. If you want to drink it, I will make some more when you recover. But donât tell anyone else, or someone will come and grab the recipe again.â
Xie Jun immediately covered his mouth and nodded vigorously. âDonât worry, Chuchu. I never tell anyone what we eat at home.â
âThatâs a good boy.â Zhao Chuchu praised him. âThere are still plenty of chicken legs and wings. Eat up.â
Xie Heng was so glad to see that Xie Jun was getting better by the day and his eyes were bright again.
Xie Hengâs biggest regret in his previous life was his brotherâs tragic death. Now that he was reborn, he had been haunted by the memory of Xie Junâs skinny body before he died.
In this life, with Zhao Chuchu here, he knew things would be better.
Zhao Chuchu overestimated the appetite of the three of them, and finally, there were two pairs of chicken wings and one chicken leg left to eat.
Xie Jun rubbed his round stomach. âChuchu, I really canât eat anymore.â
...
Xie Heng couldnât resist pinching his face. âWhat didnât you stop eating if youâre already full?â
âBrother, itâs so delicious. I canât help it,â Xie Jun said with a grin.
With the toxicity suppressed, Xie Jun was clearly gaining weight, which made him look even more adorable.
Of course, the previous Xie Jun was way too skinny for his health.
Before it got dark, Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu took Xie Jun for a walk outside to help digest the food so that Xie Jun would not have indigestion.
âToday, the Shiyang County branch of Visitorâs Aroma manager came to the village,â Xie Heng said to Zhao Chuchu. âDid you guys meet in the county?â
âThis bastard even came to the village? Did he force Meilan and the others to sell the recipe?â
âWell, it seems they were cheated of silver by Madam Yang.â
âYang? Is she at it again?â
âNot really.â Xie Heng wanted to laugh when he thought about this matter.
âThat Manager Li doesnât seem very smart. Even Madam Yang was able to cheat him out of his silver.â
...
When she said this, Madam Yang happened to come out from an alley and heard the whole thing.
They locked gazes.
Madam Yangâs face turned pale.
âHow can you call it cheating when I earned the silver with my ability?â Madam Yang plucked up her courage and argued. âHe wanted to give me the silver himself, so I thought Iâd take it. I didnât tell him to cause trouble at Zhao Guitangâs residence. You canât be so unreasonable.â
Zhao Chuchu glanced at her and didnât say anything.
Madam Yang was suddenly a little flustered.
âHe asked me to take him to Zhao Guitangâs house, and I didnât say I wanted silver. He insisted on giving it to me. I thought you were part of this bean curd business. I thought I could help, but I donât know about the rest.â
Zhao Chuchu still didnât say anything.
Madam Yang gritted her teeth. âHe gave me three taels of silver. Iâll share one and a half taels with you, alright?â
Although it hurt, it was better than having it all taken away.
What was more was that the fool had given her more than three taels of silver.
Zhao Chuchu sneered.
Madam Yangâs heart drummed.
âIâll go home and get it now.â
Yang turned around and ran.
Xie Heng laughed lightly. âDo you think she only took three taels of silver?â
âDefinitely more than that. Cunning old bastard.â
âDo we take it back?â
âShe didnât do anything bad using my name, so why would I bother with her? Manager Li must have suffered some losses with you. Do you think heâs going to let her off the hook?â
âThen do we leave it?â
âYes, it will save us a lot of hassle.â
âThen letâs go.â
When Madam Yang went home to get the silver and came over, she found that Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng had already left. She couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief. She had managed to keep the silver.
