Zhao Chuchu took the box and turned it over.

Good gosh, it really was criminal evidence related to the Jin family.

If these things were handed over, Mr. Jin would have no room for escape.

“Da Lang, when did you collect all these?”

“Just when I came back.”

Xie Heng did not keep anything a secret from Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu’s gaze crossed over Xie Heng, and she looked at the big box. It was filled with black boxes similar to the one she was holding.

“Do you want to see the others?” Xie Heng stepped aside.

Zhao Chuchu smiled and shook her head. “No, the others didn’t offend me.”

“If someone bullies you again, you can come to me. I’ll take it out for you.”

“Do you think I look like the kind of person who would be bullied?”

There was a provincial graduate in the Jin family who might hinder Xie Heng’s studies. Otherwise, she wouldn’t take action so soon.

“Well, no one can bully you, but Chuchu, I can also protect you.”

When Xie Heng said this, he looked at Zhao Chuchu with serious and firm eyes.

When Zhao Chuchu raised her head, she looked into his deep eyes, her heart racing.

He continued, “I’m glad that I was the first person you thought of when you got into trouble.”

When Zhao Chuchu heard that last sentence, she suddenly felt as if the room temperature was getting a little hot.

“But what if I get you trouble too?”

“I’ll gladly help you whenever you have problems. It has never been of any trouble for me.”

Zhao Chuchu thought to herself, “Oh my god, I’m falling for a teenager!”

“Let’s talk about it when it comes to that.”

Zhao Chuchu wimped out, not daring to carry on the conversation.

Her answer made Xie Heng feel a little lost.

“Let’s head up first, or Junjun might find out about this.”

Zhao Chuchu hurriedly ran up, holding the box in her arms.

Xie Heng felt a little helpless.

He locked the box, and by the time he went up, Zhao Chuchu had already left his room.

Xie Heng restored the bookshelf to its original state and went out as if nothing had happened.

“Chuchu, what do you want to eat tonight?” he asked as he knocked on Zhao Chuchu’s door.

Zhao Chuchu looked up at the sky. “I have to go back to the city later, so don’t worry about dinner. I’ll take care of it.”

“Steamed buns again?” Xie Heng’s resistance was apparent. “I can make a quick meal. It won’t take much time.”

“No, let’s have fast food. It’s quite popular among the children back where I came from.” Zhao Chuchu smiled. “Although they say it’s junk food, I like it very much.”

“Do you have it here?”

“Of course.”

Zhao Chuchu allowed Xie Heng to come in. She took out a family bucket from the space. She wasn’t planning on hiding anything from him.

The chicken wings and fries were still hot, along with her favorite iced fizzy pop. She felt very satisfied.

What Zhao Chuchu loved the most was that the carry-on space was in a static state. Everything would be kept the way that she put them in.

“Do you always take things out like this in front of others?” Xie Heng frowned slightly. “Do you know that your sleeve is a treasure many people can only dream of?”

“No, only you know,” said Zhao Chuchu.

Xie Heng’s lips subconsciously curved into a smile when he heard those words. “I’ll go get Junjun back. You take care of these things.”

He pointed to the packaging.

“Okay.”

Xie Heng was in a light mood.

He and Zhao Chuchu both shared each other’s biggest secrets.

Kids loved fizzy pop, and Xie Jun was no exception.

“Chuchu, what kind of tea is this? Why do I feel as if something’s jumping on my tongue when I drink it? And it’s a little choking.”

“This stuff is very rare. I had a hard time making three cups. If you want to drink it, I will make some more when you recover. But don’t tell anyone else, or someone will come and grab the recipe again.”

Xie Jun immediately covered his mouth and nodded vigorously. “Don’t worry, Chuchu. I never tell anyone what we eat at home.”

“That’s a good boy.” Zhao Chuchu praised him. “There are still plenty of chicken legs and wings. Eat up.”

Xie Heng was so glad to see that Xie Jun was getting better by the day and his eyes were bright again.

Xie Heng’s biggest regret in his previous life was his brother’s tragic death. Now that he was reborn, he had been haunted by the memory of Xie Jun’s skinny body before he died.

In this life, with Zhao Chuchu here, he knew things would be better.

Zhao Chuchu overestimated the appetite of the three of them, and finally, there were two pairs of chicken wings and one chicken leg left to eat.

Xie Jun rubbed his round stomach. “Chuchu, I really can’t eat anymore.”

Xie Heng couldn’t resist pinching his face. “What didn’t you stop eating if you’re already full?”

“Brother, it’s so delicious. I can’t help it,” Xie Jun said with a grin.

With the toxicity suppressed, Xie Jun was clearly gaining weight, which made him look even more adorable.

Of course, the previous Xie Jun was way too skinny for his health.

Before it got dark, Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu took Xie Jun for a walk outside to help digest the food so that Xie Jun would not have indigestion.

“Today, the Shiyang County branch of Visitor’s Aroma manager came to the village,” Xie Heng said to Zhao Chuchu. “Did you guys meet in the county?”

“This bastard even came to the village? Did he force Meilan and the others to sell the recipe?”

“Well, it seems they were cheated of silver by Madam Yang.”

“Yang? Is she at it again?”

“Not really.” Xie Heng wanted to laugh when he thought about this matter.

“That Manager Li doesn’t seem very smart. Even Madam Yang was able to cheat him out of his silver.”

When she said this, Madam Yang happened to come out from an alley and heard the whole thing.

They locked gazes.

Madam Yang’s face turned pale.

“How can you call it cheating when I earned the silver with my ability?” Madam Yang plucked up her courage and argued. “He wanted to give me the silver himself, so I thought I’d take it. I didn’t tell him to cause trouble at Zhao Guitang’s residence. You can’t be so unreasonable.”

Zhao Chuchu glanced at her and didn’t say anything.

Madam Yang was suddenly a little flustered.

“He asked me to take him to Zhao Guitang’s house, and I didn’t say I wanted silver. He insisted on giving it to me. I thought you were part of this bean curd business. I thought I could help, but I don’t know about the rest.”

Zhao Chuchu still didn’t say anything.

Madam Yang gritted her teeth. “He gave me three taels of silver. I’ll share one and a half taels with you, alright?”

Although it hurt, it was better than having it all taken away.

What was more was that the fool had given her more than three taels of silver.

Zhao Chuchu sneered.

Madam Yang’s heart drummed.

“I’ll go home and get it now.”

Yang turned around and ran.

Xie Heng laughed lightly. “Do you think she only took three taels of silver?”

“Definitely more than that. Cunning old bastard.”

“Do we take it back?”

“She didn’t do anything bad using my name, so why would I bother with her? Manager Li must have suffered some losses with you. Do you think he’s going to let her off the hook?”

“Then do we leave it?”

“Yes, it will save us a lot of hassle.”

“Then let’s go.”

When Madam Yang went home to get the silver and came over, she found that Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng had already left. She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She had managed to keep the silver.
