Chapter 474: Chapter 461: Are You Sure?
“As for Manager Cheng, Brother Wencheng shouldn’t say anything. Just pretend you don’t know. I have some business dealings with Manager Cheng, and if you say something inappropriate, it might cause misunderstanding…”
“I understand.”
Zhuang Wencheng understood the complexity of Zhuang Qingning’s situation, and as it was all for his sake, Zhuang Qingning had helped him. He naturally couldn’t put Zhuang Qingning in a difficult position, so he nodded urgently, “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything.”
Seeing Zhuang Wencheng’s agreement, Zhuang Qingning breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
The so-called butterfly effect refers to exactly this situation.
She merely lied to carry out a task, and even if this lie wasn’t malicious, she now had to constantly cover up this loophole, telling a lot of lies.
She really hoped that there would be fewer unreasonable tasks like this in the future.
[Host, are you sure you want fewer tasks like this?]
A voice in her mind echoed hauntingly.
Zhuang Qingning shuddered.
True, this task was a bit complicated and required a lot of alibi, but the soap recipe provided was genuine, and something Zhuang Qingning had wanted for a long time.
If there were fewer such tasks, it would mean saying goodbye to those prescriptions.
It would also mean that paying off her hard-earned value was an impossible dream…
One can lose their head, bleed, but not lose the prescription.
She was just complaining casually earlier. Hope that voice won’t take it seriously…
[As the system is here to sincerely serve the host, the system will assign the upcoming tasks based on the host’s preferences and thoughts. So, the host should think thrice before speaking.]
Why did she feel a strong sense of threat from the voice?
No matter, she doesn’t have much choice at the moment due to her limited strength.
Just wait until she is fully prepared, and has amassed a lot of hard-earned value. Then it will be her turn to take up the advantage!
Zhuang Qingning made a determined decision.
After spending a while at the County Government Office with Zhuang Wencheng and seeing that he was well and not overthinking about this matter, Zhuang Qingning finally felt at ease.
When it was lunchtime, she went to Zhuang Yutian’s house. After lunch, Zhuang Qingning and Mrs. Wen began their journey back home.
Zhuang Yutian drove them back.
Compared to Zhuang Yutian’s silence, Mrs. Wen’s chatter was unstoppable.
From the moment they boarded the carriage, she was non-stop, talking about the strange stories she had heard, to a chipped teacup at home, to choking on food the day before…
In short, at this moment, Mrs. Wen was like a bird just out of its cage, twittering incessantly.
Zhuang Qingning found Mrs. Wen, the haughty old lady turned chatterbox, very amusing. She played the role of a patient and faithful listener, occasionally pitching in a few words, which made Mrs. Wen even more excited, and her speech became uncontrollable like a flood.
It looked like a few days in the county town had really made Mrs. Wen restless.
Zhuang Yutian, who was driving up front, couldn’t help but be amazed.
