Volume 1, Chapter 59: You Smell So Good!

Meigong Xue felt extremely uneasy and forcefully pulled her hand out of Yuwen Fu's grip. When she looked up again, she saw that Mei Yanjun was already accompanying Mei Heming off the boat.

"You arrived much too early; the two of us almost eloped," Wang Youming said with a chuckle.

As she spoke, she anxiously raised her eyes to glance at Jiang Xing. The moment she looked up, she felt something was not quite right.

The highway outside was a two-way road connecting the comings and goings of a dozen villages, leading all the way to the county town. Even so, because this region was impoverished and not many households owned cars, traffic jams were virtually unheard of during regular daily travel.

However, seeing Jiang Mingcheng running his factory with such soaring momentum, Grandpa and Grandma Jiang did not voice any disapproval; they could only figure that everyone had their own destiny.

The local government also owned farmland, and the produce harvested from it was supplied to the local officials and clerks for their daily use. Originally, this concept was sound, meant to alleviate the burden on the common people.

Besides, the last time they picked tomatoes, they had intended to give some to the villagers, but there simply weren't enough. Now that a new batch had grown, it was just the right time to let everyone have a taste.

Torches were lit inside the Shandong alley, and under the flickering firelight, the massive hemp sacks piled on the ground were more precious than gold in their eyes.

He did not believe the Ai family would support Ai Yaying; even if she emptied her family's reserves, she wouldn't be able to last for long.

Yet the story had been patched together logically, and the audience bought into it completely, listening with rapt and absolute attention.

Chen Xunyi did not respond to her; he simply sat there, silently chewing the food in his mouth, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

That was fair and reasonable! Zhang Qinting nodded inwardly. To deal with her family members, one had to resort to such tactics. But what if she was plotting against her? Could it be that she wanted her to spend her own money?

According to the announcement issued by the "Great Yan" Guild, Wang Meng had first killed Lu Zhan, the vice president of their guild. Once the official roads cleared up, Wang Meng defected to the "Cangyun Guild." They had just spotted members of the Great Yan faction in the city and had a master swordsman slaughter them all, resulting in a devastating loss of four masters at the Post-Heaven limit.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Qi Ru married Ning Chaoyun, and Qi Guan's illness was finally cured, though she lost the marriage union she had longed for.

"Zhang Yixi, I never would have taken you for such a good cook!" Ye Huayi exclaimed in pleasant surprise after tasting a few dishes.

"He saved my life once!" Romero simply explained his relationship with Qin Long, and this exact connection would directly determine whether Qin Long and Mu Shiyun lived or died.

Leijingzhi mimicked their words, recounting in crystal-clear detail how the two of them had plotted against Miss Sun the Second.

It was a night of bright moonlight and sparse stars. Chen Qingyi and the others dispersed in two directions, left and right. They sought out the hustle and bustle, while I went in search of tranquility.

Looking at the glaring four characters "Casual Acquaintances" enclosed in parentheses, Li Bai could only mentally despise the game's designer once again. Even if they wanted to humanize the system, they didn't have to be so blunt about it.

Hearing Shang's words, Feng Zhilou couldn't help but giggle, and she gently patted Shang on the back.

As time slowly ticked away, the bricks in the wall were knocked out one by one, yet the corpse Gu Wenzhi had spoken of still did not appear.

She was afraid they wouldn't take good care of her, and she was also afraid that Shu Jie would feel too shy to tell the school doctor the truth—the duty doctor during the sports meeting was a male. In her heart, she also hoped that by extending a helping hand this time, she could deepen Shu Jie's trust in her.

Lin Xi let out a huge sigh of relief. Perhaps because she had maintained a state of high tension for too long, her legs turned to jelly and she collapsed downward.
