Chapter 999: A Change in Impression
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Cursed by voodoo!?” Yang Ming was surprised. He looked at Zhang Zhishen’s girlfriend. No wonder a quiet person would do such an outrageous action! It is just this Zhang Zhishen. I really do not know what to say. He seems not to be thoughtful. How can he play such a video of his girlfriend in front of so many people?
But remembering that this video had been circulated on the Internet, it did not matter anymore. It was just inappropriate to play it in front of Xiao Qi.
“Yes.” Zhang Zhishen nodded and said, “That day, Xiao Qi found that something was wrong with her body. We quickly found a store and pretended to try on clothes. When Xiao Qi entered the dressing room, the voodoo was activated… As a result, you know what happened…”
” Oh .” Yang Ming nodded. “The person who installed this camera is really awful.”
“Yeah, so I went to reason with them. Fortunately, I had your help. Otherwise, we have no evidence that there was a camera in this store…” Zhang Zhishen shook his head and said, “Mr. Yang, can you let me follow you?”
“I am really busy today. Let’s do it this way. You tell me where you’re staying, and I will come to you tonight. You see, nothing should happen to me during the daytime.” Yang Ming had no choice. Since Lan Ling sent him here, it was for his own good. Yang Ming could only keep Zhang Zhishen. However, he had to admit that Zhang Zhishen was a little dumb.
“Mr. Yang, I can follow you at a distance,” said Zhang Zhishen hesitantly. “Master asked me to stay by your side at all times. If anything happened, I have to report to Master…”
D*mn! Report? You even have to report!? What the f*ck? I am going to date another girl. If you report this to Lan Ling, aren’t you harming me? Although she will not be jealous of this, she is still a woman. She cares so much about me, but I always play with another girl. Would she feel good if she knows about this?
En, right. ..Yang Ming was shocked abruptly and asked Zhang Zhishen, “You say that you can report to Lan Ling, then you means you are in contact with her. Can you contact her?”
“I can contact her…” replied Zhang Zhishen.
“How do you contact her? Can you do it now? Can you contact Lan Ling?” Yang Ming suddenly felt excited. He grabbed Zhang Zhishen’s shoulder and asked urgently.
“Mr. Yang… I can’t contact now…” said Zhang Zhishen a little embarra.s.sed.
“Then you mean…” asked Yang Ming quickly.
“I am also texting to Master. She will read it every day when she has the time, then she will give me instructions…” said Zhang Zhishen.
“So it’s like this…” Yang Ming sighed. Zhang Zhishen’s approach to contact Lan Ling was no different from his own, but it was no wonder because Lan Ling’s place had no cell phone signal. The signal could only be received at a certain location, so it was normal to receive a text message every day.
“Mr. Yang, then I am following you…?” Zhang Zhishen still remembered the tasks that Lan Ling a.s.signed to him.
“Well, you just came here and are not familiar with this place. You should buy a map first to get familiar with it, then I will buy you a car. When I go out, you will follow from behind.” Yang Ming thought for a moment. Since Lan Ling sent Zhang Zhishen, she had her own ideas as well. Either she wanted to monitor him or to protect him, Yang Ming could not also refuse it because it was all out of love. Therefore, since he could not drive Zhang Zhishen away, then he would use him as an underling. What’s more, he even knew how to use voodoo. If he was displeased with someone in the future, he did not have to make a move; he could let Zhang Zhishen cast voodoo on the person.
“This…” Zhang Zhishen still hesitated.
“That’s it!” Yang Ming patted Zhang Zhishen’s shoulder. “Didn’t we exchange phone numbers already? I will go to find you tonight.”
“Okay…” Zhang Zhishen had no choice. Since Yang Ming insisted on doing this, he had to follow, but he still gave a reminder. “Mr. Yang, if you have any trouble, just call me right away!”
“I know. Rest a.s.sured. I am not stupid,” smiled Yang Ming.
Only then did Zhang Zhishen leave with Xiao Qi. Yang Ming rubbed the sweat on his forehead. It is really tough to communicate with such people! Perhaps Lan Ling knows Zhang Zhishen is such a simple-minded person. Only such people are the most loyal without any ill-intentions.
Back in the car, Jing Xiaolu was a bit curious. “Yang Ming, who are they?”
“They are my bodyguards that my wife sent to me!” Yang Ming did not hide it. It would be more f*cked up if it were exposed, so he admitted it directly. Yang Ming did not mention anything about voodoo anyway.
“Bodyguard?!” Jing Xiaolu was astounded. “Do you still need a bodyguard? You do not seem to need bodyguards with your skill, right? Besides, President Bao is the Ming Yang Security Company’s president. Is it that hard to find a bodyguard? And… I am not criticizing him but that Zhang Zhishen seems to be… dim-witted!”
“Of course, I don’t need anyone to protect me…” Yang Ming deliberately lowered his voice and said to Jing Xiaolu. “To tell you the truth, in fact, they are spies sent by my wife to monitor me. She wants to see if I have another mistress outside!”
“Then, do you have any?” Jing Xiaolu was dumbfounded. It turns out to be the case. No wonder the man had to talk facing his back to me.
“Am I not just being misunderstood!?” Yang Ming sighed. “You are really adding troubles for me. Now it’s great. We had nothing initially, but now it is misunderstood.”
” Haha , that’s good!” Jing Xiaolu smiled and said. “It is good If they misunderstand. You already have several girlfriends initially. It is not more to have me.”
Yang Ming shook his head and stopped talking about this topic. “Right, that incident just interrupted us just now. You have not finished buying new clothes, right? Do you want to continue?”
“It is fine for today. I am already tired. Although I still have a few pieces of clothing that I want to buy… Ai , I am unwilling. You promised to buy what I want…” Jing Xiaolu sighed and said.
“Since you want to buy it, then go buy it. We have a car anyway. It is convenient!” Yang Ming looked at Jing Xiaolu’s appearance, and he really felt pity for her.
“Today is so tiring. I really do not want to move,” Jing Xiaolu said with a sad face. “But I don’t want to miss this good opportunity…”
“If you are not satisfied with any of the solutions, then what do you want?” said Yang Ming helplessly.
“How about you shop with me again next time during my holiday?” said Jing Xiaolu as if she just got an idea. However, in Yang Ming’s opinion, she seemed to have planned for it.
“…” Yang Ming was speechless. If he promised her, she would be even more insatiable. “No way. I am not free.”
“D*mn, I just want to help you study the progress between you and the girl. If you have any doubts, I can help you clear your doubts. Since you do not want to, then it is fine.” Jing Xiaolu said indifferently.
“Clear the doubts?” Yang Ming was stunned, then he smiled. “Alright, if I really want to ask for advice, then I will ask you to come out.”
“Who do you think you are? You can find me if you need me, and you do not find me if you have nothing? You are really hypocritical.” Jing Xiaolu snorted and said, “I despise you!”
Yang Ming broke into a sweat . Why do I feel like a man who fails his woman? It is like I wronged her. Ai, I only have this feeling when I am together with Jing Xiaolu.
Yang Ming said helplessly, “Okay, If I have time during your next vacation, I will buy the things with you. But you have to be quick about it. Otherwise, I will not accompany you if it is as time-consuming as today.”
“Don’t worry, hehe .” Jing Xiaolu nodded. But she thought, The style of the clothes always changes very quickly. The next time should probably be spring already. The clothes would not be selling anymore, but that is not my fault. By that time, it is necessary to pick out new clothes.
Yang Ming did not know the evil plan in Jing Xiaolu’s heart. Otherwise, he would be furious.
“Where are you going? I’ll take you,” said Yang Ming.
“I have to go to the pharmacy to grab some medicine for my grandmother. The medicine in the hospital is too expensive. Fortunately, the doctor is good. He gave me a prescription and told me to buy it at the pharmacy.” Jing Xiaolu smiled and said, “You drive me to the pharmacy then.”
“Your grandmother is ill. Why do you still buy so many clothes for yourself?” Yang Ming thought that this Jing Xiaolu was a bit ruthless.
” Ai .” Jing Xiaolu sighed. “It is an old trouble. The disease rooted when she was young. She did not treat in time, so now she has to lie on the bed and keep taking medicine…”
” Ah … it is so serious?” Yang Ming thought it was an acute illness. He didn’t expect it to be such a chronic disease. This kind of condition was the most torturing and the most expensive. It was really difficult for Jing Xiaolu, such a little girl.
He roughly knew about Jing Xiaolu’s life by listening to Ge Xinyao. She had lost her parents when she was young and lived with her grandmother. Now, that Yang Ming knew that Jing Xiaolu’s grandmother was lying in bed with a disease without any income, he began to sympathize and feel impressed with Jing Xiaolu from the bottom of his heart.
How strong is her will to shoulder such a heavy burden? She is living on her own. She still has to pay for her own academic fees, and she has to buy medicine for her grandmother. This is indeed too heavy for a teenage girl.
Looking at Jing Xiaolu’s innocent purity, but she was not innocent at all. After getting close contact with her today, Yang Ming realized that she was not a simple girl; she had her own view, and she was strong.
In the melting pot of today’s society, it was a miracle that Jing Xiaolu could still keep her virginity. However, it could be seen that Jing Xiaolu was extraordinarily smart.
” Hehe , in fact, it is nothing.” Jing Xiaolu smiled and said. “The doctor said that there is no life danger. She will just feel an ache in her legs during the rainy season, and she can’t do any heavy work. Therefore, she is still considered healthy!”
Yang Ming sighed slightly and said, “Is there any hope for healing?”
“Yes, but it is small.” Jing Xiaolu shook her head.
“Then why not heal her? Is it about money?” Yang Ming had money. If it was a money problem, Yang Ming did not mind helping her. Now they were considered as relatively good friends after all.
“On the contrary, that’s not it. If there was a need for surgery, I will collect enough money and pay for the surgery no matter what,” said Jing Xiaolu. “The doctor just said that my grandmother is too old to be operated on. Although there is a hope for a cure, there is also a great possibility of failure. If it failed, my grandmother would be completely paralyzed. Now she can still walk around and play mahjong with her neighbor. If she is paralyzed, what can she do?”
Yang Ming nodded after listening. It turned out to be the case. “If that is the case, then it is best not to cure.”
“I think so too. After all, my grandmother is old now. She is not suitable for surgery. The doctor suggested conservative treatment. It is better to drink some Chinese medicines to relieve the symptoms,” said Jing Xiaolu.
“Which pharmacy are you going to? You should have a fixed pharmacy to buy medicine, right?” Yang Ming started the car.
” En , go to Defa Community. My house is there. A pharmacy run by an acquaintance is opposite my house. He even gives me a discount,” said Jing Xiaolu.
Defa Community? Yang Ming had never heard of it. However, there was nothing strange about it. Although Yang Ming was a native of Song Jiang, there were many communities now. Many old communities had been renamed after the establishment of a property company, so Yang Ming did not know where it was.
He turned on the navigation system and set it up . There was indeed the address of the Defa Community.
“In fact, there’s no need for navigation. I will tell you how to go,” said Jing Xiaolu.
“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?” Yang Ming put away the navigator. “I thought you didn’t recognize the path.”
“You are the one who can’t recognize it. Even if I am stupid, I will not lose my way home,” said Jing Xiaolu angrily.
Defa Community was quite easy to go. There were basically no small roads going from here. It was highway along the way until they reached the door of a community that looked old.
“It’s there, Defa Pharmacy.” Jing Xiaolu pointed to a pharmacy sign with a red cross not far away.
Yang Ming parked the car at the door of the pharmacy and got out with Jing Xiaolu.
“Xiaolu, you came to get medicine for your grandmother again!” The pharmacy owner was also living in this community. He had been Jing Xiaolu’s neighbor for decades, so now, he was especially enthusiastic when he saw Jing Xiaolu.
” En , I am here to get medicine for my grandmother.” Jing Xiaolu nodded.
“Why are you so early today? Don’t you have work?” The pharmacy owner asked while getting the medicine for Jing Xiaolu, “Is it still the same prescription as last time?”
