Chapter 2170: Chapter 2025: Prodigal Son (Part 2)

"Hmph, I’ll just wait at home for the old man to personally deliver the medicine." Song Xiaodong replied.

"Whatever!" Zhao Ruonan hung up the phone.

Everyone gathered for dinner in the evening.

"I want to take a trip to Beijing." Song Xiaodong said to everyone at the dinner table.

"What for?" Chu Xianling sensed a hint of something else.

"To buy medicine." Song Xiaodong, of course, had a legitimate reason.

"Great, take me back too, and also bring the bottle you bought for my grandpa." Chu Xianling said to Song Xiaodong.

"Hahaha..." Sun Yiyi laughed and slapped her thigh.

"What’s so funny? Why are you laughing?" Chu Xianling asked Sun Yiyi.

"Xiaodong is going to buy medicine, why are you joining the chaos? Bringing you, a vinegar bottle, is so inconvenient." Sun Yiyi smirked at Chu Xianling.

"Why is bringing me along to buy medicine inconvenient?" Chu Xianling raised an eyebrow, giving Song Xiaodong a side-eye glance.

Song Xiaodong did not respond.

"You think, what if one day Xiaodong wants to ask Teacher Wang for advice again? Bringing you along, won’t you scratch her?" Sun Yiyi teased Chu Xianling.

"I wouldn’t care about him!" Chu Xianling gave Song Xiaodong a glare.

"Why do you guys dislike Teacher Wang so much? The cultivation technique taught by Teacher Wang saved me several times, and even saved both of your lives. Can’t you be a little grateful?" Song Xiaodong said to Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling.

"Why would we dislike Teacher Wang? We just treat him normally. Maybe you like him too much, which makes it seem like we dislike him." Chu Xianling said to Song Xiaodong sourly.

"Which Teacher Wang is this?" Song Xiaoru asked.

"When we were in Beijing, Xiaodong was treating the old man of the Chen Family. Their kid had a car accident with Xianling, and to apologize to Xiaodong, the Chen Family kind of matched Teacher Wang with Xiaodong." Sun Yiyi told Song Xiaoru.

"Don’t talk nonsense, they didn’t match us. It’s just that Teacher Wang taught me a Qi Cultivation Technique." Song Xiaodong corrected Sun Yiyi.

"Teacher Wang accompanied Xiaodong around Beijing for several days and didn’t pay any attention to Xianling and me. We had to go out on our own. It’s really excessive!" Sun Yiyi added.

"Yeah, Yushi even complained to me, saying that Xiaodong didn’t do anything all day but stared at Teacher Wang’s backside." Chu Xianling said.

"Okay, okay, okay, I only sneaked a few glances." Song Xiaodong admitted.

"Shameless, sneaking glances, your eyes were practically popping out!" Chu Xianling gave Song Xiaodong another glare.

"It’s not like you saw it." Song Xiaodong retorted.

"Yushi told me all about it." Chu Xianling said.

"Hey, I’m really going to buy medicine this time. If I go see Teacher Wang, you guys can do whatever you want with me!" Song Xiaodong declared.

"Who cares who you visit? I’m just looking forward to a few peaceful days without a man in the house. With Xianling the vinegar bottle with you, we can rest easy." Sun Yiyi said.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll spoil Xianling?" Song Xiaodong asked with a mischievous grin.

"We’re eating, watch what you’re saying!" Song Xiaoru said, picking up chopsticks and gesturing at Song Xiaodong.

"Alright, let’s go together." Song Xiaodong said to Chu Xianling.

The next day, the two of them, along with the recovered Dragon Three, flew to Beijing.

They stayed at the Xianling Family’s house.

"I should also buy a house in Beijing." Song Xiaodong said, looking at Chu Xianling’s villa.

"What for? To house your mistress?" Chu Xianling asked Song Xiaodong.

"Can you just... sigh..." Song Xiaodong sighed without finishing his sentence.

"Hmph, no way, I carry the responsibility of supervising you for my sisters. I can’t let my guard down for even a moment." Chu Xianling said arrogantly to Song Xiaodong.

"When are we going to see your grandpa?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"We? I’m going alone, you’re not allowed to go." Chu Xianling replied.

"Why not? I’m the one who paid for it!" Song Xiaodong said to Chu Xianling.

"Haha... Because my grandpa is very traditional. If he knew you have so many wives, he might get a heart attack, and if he passes away, the birthday party would turn into a funeral. That wouldn’t be good." Chu Xianling laughed and said.

"If your grandpa hears you say that, he’d also get a heart attack." Song Xiaodong told Chu Xianling.

"My grandpa has poor hearing, he can’t hear!" Chu Xianling said, shaking her head proudly.

"You’re seriously not letting me go? What, you think I’m not worthy of the Xianling Family?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"No, I’m just afraid it would be awkward." Chu Xianling replied.

"What’s so awkward about it?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"You... just go buy the medicine first, let me think about it." Chu Xianling said.

Song Xiaodong then took Dragon Three and headed straight for the largest Chinese medicine auction in Beijing.

Because Song Xiaodong had previously treated some high-ranking elderly people, using many rare herbs, these families scrambled to collect these herbs, driving up prices, and the market responded, transforming standard herb transactions into auctions.

General Zhao couldn’t be relied on this time, so Song Xiaodong had to spend his own money, a big expense.

The auction was held in the top-floor hall of Beijing’s Chinese herbal medicine wholesale market.

Dragon Three drove Song Xiaodong’s car to the underground parking, circling several times without finding a space. Just when they saw a spot, a wine-red Porsche suddenly cut in, taking the spot, barely avoiding a scrape.

"Hey? In a hurry to buy a cinerary urn?" Dragon Three shouted at the red car from his window.
