Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 142: Returning Home to Gauge Parent’s Opinion

Jiang Yexun quickly embraced her and comfortingly patted her back when Su Xiaoxiao pushed him away in a panic.

"Aren’t you afraid?" Su Xiaoxiao was extremely worried, pushing him with all her might.

Jiang Yexun let out a soft laugh and soothingly said, "Don’t worry. The footsteps approaching were quite light, it’s two female comrades, probably the service staff from the guesthouse."

Having spent so much time hunting in the mountains, he had mastered the art of listening for sounds. If he hadn’t been sure that these weren’t people from the disciplinary office, he wouldn’t have been so carefree here.

However, Su Xiaoxiao was so worried that she ended up stepping on his foot.

Jiang Yexun’s pained expresion caused her to quickly jump away and straighten her clothes. The knocking on the door sounded once again.

"Comrades Su and Jiang, are you there?" one of the guesthouse service staff asked in a soft voice.

"We’re here!" Su Xiaoxiao walked over to open the door. Jiang Yexun also smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes.

"Why are you here?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at them with curiosity.

"Didn’t you mention that you’re leaving Beijing tomorrow morning? We asked around, and many people said they wanted to buy more. I need sixty servings of the moisturizing pills, and two hundred and seventy servings of the whitening pills."

"I need eighty servings of the moisturizing pills and three hundred and sixty servings of the whitening pills."

They spoke in a hurry, and they were quick to hand over the money. In total, it was 1,365 yuan, all packed into a small cloth bag, which they firmly pressed into Su Xiaoxiao’s hands.

"That means we’ll have to brew medicine tonight, but it might disturb everyone’s rest," Su Xiaoxiao said with a frown.

"It’s just for one night; it will be fine," the service staff quickly reassured her.

However, Su Xiaoxiao still didn’t want to disrupt everyone’s rest in the guesthouse due to her own business. She thought for a moment and suggested, "How about this: after dinner, can you lend us the stove and coal balls? We’ll find a place far away where no one is around to brew the medicine."

"Of course!" the two service staff members happily agreed.

With that matter resolved, Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun naturally hurried to the traditional Chinese medicine shop to buy herbs. After buying the herbs, they brewed the medicine non-stop, working on it until 9 PM.

To ensure that Su Xiaoxiao could get a good night’s sleep, Jiang Yexun brought the two pots of herbal medicine to his own room.

The next morning, at 6 AM, after they had breakfast, they started making herbal medicine balls together, waiting for Zhang Zhiyuan to pick them up.

But the situation on Zhang Zhiyuan’s end was tumultuous. It seemed like a powder keg ready to explode.

"Zhiyuan, how can you leave now? My sister’s son has been missing for a whole night. If there were any other options, she wouldn’t have come to us," Peng Huijing cried and held Zhang Zhiyuan.

Zhang Zhiyuan frowned involuntarily and pushed her hand away. He was about to say something, but the woman crying beside him suddenly knelt at his feet.

"Brother-in-law, please help me. You know how much my husband and parents-in-law value Hai Hai. Before I gave birth to this son, they would beat me up every day. It was Hai Hai who made me feel like a human being again these years. If Hai Hai truly can’t be found, I’ll jump into the river directly and end my life!"

Zhang Zhiyuan’s expression shifted slightly. He looked at them in a somewhat annoyed manner. For some reason, he felt something was amiss. However, before he could think further, his son and daughter stood up for the two women.

"Dad, you should talk to Auntie. She’s been through so much suffering in the past. We can’t stand by and let her return to that nightmare."

"Right, Dad! Hai Hai is only three years old. He can’t handle such a traumatic experience. The human traffickers who kidnapped him probably took other children as well. They dare to commit crimes in Beijing; they might have committed more crimes in other cities."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiyuan’s expression softened slightly. Grandpa Zhang, seeing his grandson and granddaughter finally speaking fairly, and genuinely caring for their relatives, sighed and advised, "Alright, Zhiyuan, go and take a look. After all, such a young child shouldn’t be taken by human traffickers."

"But what about Young Comrade Su and her brother..." Zhang Zhiyuan was still hesitant.

Seeing his hesitation, Peng Huijing secretly gritted her teeth. Zhang’s father, upon seeing his grandchildren speaking up for their relatives and caring for others, relented. He spoke, "Let Ning go and give them a ride. After a week my current medicine will be finished, and Xiaoxiao will be here to change the prescription for me. You can go next time."

"Alright," Zhang Zhiyuan had no choice but to agree.

However, Peng Huijing was infuriated with this arrangement. She had just found a way to keep Zhang Zhiyuan from leaving. She didn’t expect him to be so persistent about going. When he tried to leave again in a week, what method could she use to delay him? Nonetheless, she had no time to think about this now.

Zhang Zhiyuan directly called his security guards and left, with Peng Huijing and Peng Huiling following behind.

---

"Hello, I’m General Zhang’s security guard, Ning Yuanzheng. Mr. Zhang has some urgent matters today and cannot come to take you back to Dai City. That’s why he sent me."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her and immediately had a hunch that something was off.

"Urgent matters? Is it an urgent matter that we shouldn’t ask about?" She blinked her eyes, pretending to be curious.

Ning Yuanzheng shook his head apologetically, "No, it’s Mr. Zhang’s wife’s nephew who suddenly went missing, suspected to be kidnapped by human traffickers. Mr. Zhang is helping to find the child quickly."

"Yes, it’s important to find the child," Su Xiaoxiao quickly nodded with concern. However, deep down, she couldn’t help but let out a cold, mocking laugh.

So, Peng Huijing really is genuinely afraid. Afraid that her brother will be seen by the Zhang family? But they’ve met him before, haven’t they? Or is she afraid that their relationship will become too familiar, and her brother might reveal something he shouldn’t? Su Xiaoxiao’s suspicion resurfaced stronger than ever before. Maybe it would be best to wait until they return home and talk to her parents about it?
