Jiang Tong suddenly touched Zhou Jingyun, tilted her head, and said to Zhou Jingyun, “Look at the bag in Xie Wenkai’s hand.”

Zhou Jingyun heard Jiang Tong’s words and turned to look at Xie Wenkai. Only then did he notice that Xie Wenkai was holding a white paper bag with the words ‘Pharmacy’ written on it. It was the medicine that Xie Wenkai had bought. It was unknown if he was too nervous or what, but not only did he take the medicine out of the pharmacy bag, but he also didn’t put it away. He had been casually holding it in his hand the whole time. Perhaps when a person was too focused on thinking about something, he might unknowingly ignore the thing in his hand. Although Xie Wenkai had only bought a scalding ointment, with how much Madam Xie treasured Xie Wenkai, she would probably fly into a rage when she saw Xie Wenkai buying medicine for his injury.

“Xie Wenkai, give me the medicine,” Zhou Jingyun said to Xie Wenkai, “Thanks for helping me buy the medicine.”

Xie Wenkai was startled, but he immediately reacted. He walked to Zhou Jingyun’s side in a few steps and handed him the medicine bag. Xie Wenkai replied, “You’re welcome. Thank you for helping me too.”

Zhou Jingyun was deep in thought. Xie Wenkai mentioned ‘Helping him’. Previously, Xie Wenkai got angry with the bodyguard for listening to his mother. Zhou Jingyun had also heard some things about the Xie family and knew that Madam Xie was very powerful at home. Even Xie Wenkai’s father, Xie Guofu, gave in to her. Madam Xie was also very strict with Xie Wenkai. Of course, as an outsider, Zhou Jingyun could not know how strict Madam Xie was with Xie Wenkai. But now, he seemed to understand a little from Xie Wenkai’s words. He also somewhat understood why Xie Wenkai thanked him. Jiang Tong did not tell Zhou Jingyun how she had brought Xie Wenkai out of the Xie family’s control, but now, Zhou Jingyun had guessed a little.

Jiang Tong did not tell Zhou Jingyun because she felt that she did not need to go into detail and did not have the time. She felt that with Xie Wenkai’s and Zhou Jingyun’s intelligence, if they couldn’t understand each other’s actions and the hidden meaning of their words, then they would be letting down their high IQ.

The Xie family’s motorcade soon arrived at the entrance of the alley. Jiang Tong suddenly took a few steps to the side with her hands in her pockets. She naturally looked at the car that was about to stop. Because she moved a little, Xie Wenkai and Zhou Jingyun stood closer to each other as a result. Zhou Jingyun glanced at Jiang Tong. Then, he passed the medicine bag that he was holding onto with his right hand, into his left hand. Then, he patted Xie Wenkai’s shoulder with his right hand. They looked like they were on very good terms.

Zhou Jingyun lowered his head and whispered to Xie Wenkai. The tone of his voice was different from the expression on his face. His tone was cold, but there was a smile on his face. He asked Xie Wenkai, “You think your mother is too strict, so you want to resist her?”

“Yes,” Xie Wenkai pursed his lips and answered.

“Alright. Leave it to me. Don’t talk too much.” Zhou Jingyun used a tone that implied he would handle it all. Xie Wenkai didn’t like people with strong personalities because his mother had a very strong personality, which made him feel very oppressed. However, at that moment, he changed his mind. The way he looked at Zhou Jingyun was different. Zhou Jingyun was cold, domineering, and would never lower his head. It was as if he would be able to overcome any difficulty, he was especially able to withstand pressure!

The Xie family’s motorcade stopped at the entrance of the alley. A group of bodyguards got out of the car. One of the bodyguards jogged to the side of the Maybach in the middle. Then, he bent down and opened the car door. He raised his hand to block the car door and welcomed Madam Xie out of the car.

Madam Xie got out of the car. The first thing that came into view was a head of jet-black hair. Madam Xie had taken good care of herself. She was almost fifty years old, but she looked to be in her forties. She had an exquisite hairstyle, and her hair was combed meticulously. She was wearing a dignified and elegant black dress, with a shawl over her shoulders. There was an emerald ring and a pigeon egg diamond ring on both of her hands, and she was also holding a diamond-studded handbag. She looked elegant and magnificent! Madam Xie was very beautiful. She was almost 50 years old and time had left a mark on her face, so she lost some of her beauty. However, now she looked more dignified and elegant. It could be seen that she was also a great beauty when she was young.

Of course, if Madam Xie was not beautiful, she would not have given birth to such a handsome son as Xie Wenkai. Xie Wenkai’s appearance could be said to have inherited all the advantages of his parents. When Madam Xie got off the car, she was even a little annoyed.
