According to his personality, if someone provoked someone he cared about, he would use every means possible to make the other person taste a thousand times the pain.
He used to think that Xia Wan always appeared gentle and kind, and wouldn’t like him resorting to violent means, but now he understood that deep down, Xia Wan was just like him.
When dealing with kind people, they would try their best to help, but when dealing with evil, they prefered to retaliate in kind.
He smiled faintly and said, “Whatever you want to do, I’ll help you.”
“Okay,” Xia Wan replied.
They looked at each other and saw the answer they wanted in each other’s eyes.
In the back seat, Chen Shui blinked but didnt understand the unspoken agreement between Xia Wan and Chen Mo.
Chen Shui was afraid that Xia Wan would do something dangerous, so she tried to persuade her, “Sis Xia Wan, if you want to beat up that scumbag Li Gang, just let my brother handle it. You don’t need to go, and it’s too dangerous. What if you get hurt?”
Xia Wan smiled and reassured Chen Shui, “Don’t worry, I won’t put myself in danger.”
Chen Shui thought Xia Wan agreed and felt relieved.
In reality, Xia Wan planned to confront Li Gang herself, as she believed she wouldn’t be in danger, so she wanted to go in person.
Xia Wan didn’t consider herself someone who interfered too much in the affairs of others, but Li Gang and Liu Shi’s actions were just too despicable.
Such scum deserved to be dealt with.
Chen MO drove them to the house they bought in the county. As soon as Chen Shui got out of the car, she linked her arm with Xia Wan’s.
Xia Wan also took the opportunity to check Chen Shui’s pulse.
She noticed that Chen Shui’s pulse had become much steadier. It seemed she had been taking her medicine regularly these days, and her mood was quite good.
“By the way, why didn’t your father come with you?” Xia Wan asked Chen Shui.
She remembered that Chen Shan was very concerned about Chen Shui the last time they came, so according to his personality, he should have come along. Chen Shui replied with a smile, “Because a batch of medicinal materials arrived. Dad said they were exactly what I needed, and many rare ones that can’t be found on the market. Dad said he wanted to buy them all and give them to you as a gift. He said you would definitely find them useful.”
Chen MO couldn’t help but rub her head with a helpless look. “You, this girl, why do you always say everything? Dad wanted to surprise Wan Wan, and you just blurted it out. If he manages to win the bid, it’s fine, but what if he doesn’t?
Then Wan Wan will be disappointed.”
Chen Shui also realized her mistake and said dejectedly, “You’re right. I shouldn’t have mentioned it early. Let’s just hope Dad can successfully buy those medicinal materials.”
Hearing the keyword, Xia Wan asked Chen MO, “Auction? Where is it held?”
Chen MO raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you interested in auctions?” Xia Wan nodded.
In her previous life, she often researched special medicines. While these medicines were limited in quantity, they were very effective in treating certain diseases. However, she hadn’t attended many auctions before; her master had always taken care of the selling part.
In this life, without her master, she had to handle everything on her own. Seeing her interest, Chen MO explained, “The auction is held in the capital. If you’re interested, I can take you there next time it starts.”
Xia Wan shook her head, “No need, I was just curious. Are there any restrictions on identity at the auction? What kind of items can you purchase, and what is the buying process?”
“For the time being, I don’t have time to go to the auction, and you must be busy too, so there’s no rush for this matter.”
But Chen MO smiled and said, “Anything related to you is important and takes priority over other things.”
Under Chen Mo’s direct gaze, Xia Wan’s mind went blank for a moment, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Chen Mo’s handsome face had no flaws, even up close. His eyes carried deep affection, making Xia Wan a little dizzy.
She found it somewhat ridiculous. For a moment, she actually thought he liked her.
Xia Wan shook her head slightly, pushing away the jumbled thoughts in her mind.
In her previous life, Chen MO always had a cold expression whenever he saw her. He probably had no idea about her feelings for him. So, why should she delude herself this time?
She suddenly felt that things in this world were fair. Nobody was born perfect, just like herself. She had medical talent but always had a love-struck mind, immersed in love and creating her own weakness.
Now, she didn’t want to ponder on romantic matters. She just wanted to study hard, get into a good university, earn money, improve her social status, and provide a better life for her family..
