Chapter 40 (2/2)

Jing Yunzhao only thought that it was a bit weird . But then she realized why the people at pharmacy described him as a weird, rotten old man . You couldn’t find anyone as mysterious as him in the entire Huaning county .

He was only an old man . She didn’t worry about what he would do to her . She still had the ability to protect herself .

Jing Yunzhao went directly home . When she arrived, she saw that Su Chu was looking worried and beside Su Chu was a boy . He looked clean, neat and was pretty good-looking . He was probably Gan Jinchen .

“Biaojie, you’re much braver than we are . You’re out so late at night . Aren’t you scared you might come across some bad guys?” When Su Chu saw Jing Yunzhao, she was relieved .

“I had things to take care of . I apologize for worrying you . ” Jing Yunzhao had been used to being ignored and neglected . So she didn’t think that someone would be home waiting for you nor did she think to tell them beforehand .

Gan Jinchen glared at her but didn’t say anything . He returned to his bedroom without leaving a single word .

Jing Yunzhao understood the look he gave her . He was clearly looking down upon her and doubting her .

After all, Grandpa Gan took her in as a granddaughter . He, the biological grandson, would definitely feel uncomfortable to some extent, especially since her reputation was pretty bad .

“Biaoge has a weird temper . Needn’t worry about him!” Su Chu, on the other hand, was lively and stuck out her tongue in the direction of Gan Jinchen .

Remembering what that strange old man told her, Jing Yunzhao decided to explain the situation (T/N: where she was and where she’ll be going tomorrow) to Su Chu . Just in case she worries again . However, the matter of selling medicinal materials was a bit weird, so she didn’t mention it .

“Oh yeah, Chuchu, you talked about a test yesterday . Is it the one requested by grandpa?” Jing Yunzhao suddenly remembered something and asked .

(T/N: Chuchu is a nickname for Su Chu . )

Su Chu’s face turned sour and said, “Yeah! Since me and biaoge were little, grandpa gave us a goal . We must study medicine in the future . Even if it’s western medicine! So he would give us a test every month . The questions are all super hard! But…biaojie, how did you know that it was grandpa’s request…could it be that h-he also…”

At that moment, Su Chu became dumbfounded .
