Chapter 379 - Keeping the Appointment
What happens in Chapter 379 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God"? Seeing Gao Yaâs indifferent expression, Chen Yang knew she must have overthought things.She was clearly... Read on to find out!
Seeing Gao Yaâs indifferent expression, Chen Yang knew she must have overthought things.
She was clearly jealous!
Chen Yang wanted to follow her to explain, but given their secret relationship, that was definitely not an option.
So he had to endure it.
He thought he would explain it the next time he had the chance.
He and Wang Jingman were truly just friends.
After Gao Ya left with Gu Linshan, Chen Yang didnât linger in the hotel lobby with Wang Jingman either.
They immediately followed them out and then got into Wang Jingmanâs car.
Once in the car, Wang Jingman suddenly asked Chen Yang, âChen Yang, whatâs your relationship with that person just now?
Why do I feel like she was unhappy to hear that Iâm dining with you?â
Gao Yaâs expression had suddenly turned cold, and it was quite obvious.
So not only did Chen Yang notice, but Wang Jingman did as well.
âThe Sister Gao from before is a business partner of mine; she is the general manager of the Gu Family Group in the provincial city.
They mine in our area; she is always like this, quite cold to strangers.â
Chen Yang didnât know exactly how to explain, so he just said that Gao Ya was colder to those she didnât know.
Wang Jingman, after hearing Chen Yangâs explanation, didnât think much of it anymore.
After a long silence, she suddenly said, âThe Gu Family Group is quite a big enterprise in the provincial city, and you can cooperate with them.
Youâre pretty impressive.â
Wang Jingman then cast him a meaningful glance.
Chen Yang gave a wry smile, âThereâs nothing impressive about it.
Itâs just that my familyâs land happens to sit on a mineral vein.
The Gu Family needs to mine, and they have to work with me, thatâs all.â
âOh, okay then.â
Wang Jingman was mildly disappointed with this answer.
She had thought Chen Yang might have had significant backing.
It turned out his connection to the Gu Family was merely due to land.
After ending this topic, neither of them continued to chat while sitting in the car.
When they returned to Li Hanâs herbal shop, after getting out of the car, Wang Jingman invited Chen Yang to come in and sit a while, to visit Li Han and his wife.
âBetter not go in, I still have things to do.
Besides, Li Hanâs shop is always here; I can come by anytime to visit.â
Chen Yang declined with a smile.
âWellâŚ
alright then, go ahead with your business.â
Wang Jingman nodded.
âMhm, bye.â
Chen Yang waved his hand and then drove off in his van.
It was just past one oâclock after having lunch.
The sun was fiercely hot at this time.
Chen Yang thought about heading back to Liuhe Village but then he pondered, considering that he still had dinner at the old manâs house tonight.
Coming back again would be redundant, wouldnât it?
So after some thought, Chen Yang decided to go to Lin Tian Xia.
After chatting with Li Han for a while and flirting a bit, he went to the hotel room where the medicinal herbs were stored.
With nothing better to do, Chen Yang planned to process all the remaining unrefined herbs.
After all, the medicinal meals at Lin Tian Xia were popular, and making more would certainly be beneficial.
By evening, Chen Yang saw that it was about time.
He stretched out and stood up.
âThatâs about time, off to see the old man.â
Chen Yang left the room, then took the elevator to the top floor, and let Li Han know he was leaving.
âLeaving now?
Why not have dinner here before you go?â
Li Han asked him to stay.
It was indeed dinner time, and she had already instructed the kitchen to prepare Chen Yangâs dinner.
âIâve got some things to take care of, so Iâll skip dinner here.
Iâll just eat there; itâs all the same.â
Chen Yang said with a smile.
Knowing Chen Yang must have had his reasons, Li Han didnât press further.
âAlright then, go ahead, but make sure you eat something.
Donât starve yourself.â
Li Han expressed her concern.
âMm-hmm, I got it,â
Chen Yang smiled and nodded, then went over and hugged her tightly, kissing her firmly before
he left.
Arriving at the hotelâs entrance, Chen Yang drove towards Night Snack Street.
By then, the sky had darkened, and neon lights filled the street.
Especially in places like Night Snack Street, the lights were particularly resplendent.
Today wasnât about delivering lobsters, so Chen Yang didnât drive the van into the alley but parked by the roadside in front of the old manâs shop.
After getting out of the car, Chen Yang walked straight in.
At this time, there were hardly any customers in the snack shop, just a few workers bustling around.
âOld man, Iâm here.
Where are you?â
As Chen Yang entered the shop, he called out.
Hearing Chen Yangâs voice, the shopâs old man immediately came out beaming with joy.
âAh, Boss Chen, youâre here so early?â
The old man laughed.
Chen Yang looked at him, âWith all your urgent reminders, how could I not come early?â
âHaha, okay, letâs go then.â
The old man laughed heartily and, without dallying, led Chen Yang away from the snack shop to head back.
About ten minutes after leaving the snack shop, Chen Yang followed the old man to an old residential building.
Surrounding buildings were similarly aged, looking to be at least twenty years old.
âOld man, the business at your Night Snack Street shop isnât bad, is it?
Why do you still live in a place like this?
Isnât it inconvenient?â
After scanning the surroundings, Chen Yang said.
The old man paused slightly upon hearing this, but the smile on his face didnât fade.
âIâve lived here all my life; whatâs inconvenient about it?
Besides, even though the business is good, I have many other financial needs.
I donât have spare money to buy a house for myself.â
The old man said this cheerfully, as usual.
However, Chen Yang could sense an undercurrent of emotion in his words.
It seemed the old man had some difficulties.
âOld man, are you having some troubles?â
Thinking this, Chen Yang asked directly.
The old man shook his head, âNothing serious.
Today I invited you over for dinner and drinks, letâs not talk about this now.
Letâs go upstairs, weâre not going home until weâre drunk.â
The old man didnât answer Chen Yangâs question but redirected the conversation.
Seeing that the old man didnât want to continue, Chen Yang didnât press the matter.
He followed the old man and climbed the stairs together.
The old-style apartment buildings werenât tall.
They were only about seven or eight stories high.
But climbing them was quite the ordeal.
Especially since the old manâs home was on the very top floor.
By the time they reached the apartment, both had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
âOld man, I admire you, climbing up and down every day, isnât it tiring?â
Chen Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
The old man laughed heartily, âYou get used to it.
Iâve lived here for decades; Iâm used to it.â
After speaking, the old man took out a set of keys from his pocket and opened the door.
Though the old-style building was run-down, the old manâs home was quite decent.
It wasnât what Chen Yang had imagined.
Entering the old manâs house, Chen Yangâs gaze involuntarily swept across his surroundings.
A modestly sized living room featured a sofa, coffee table, and TV.
On the coffee table, there were many steaming dishes.
And several bottles of expensive liquor.
