Chapter 5: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Seeing Jiang Tingyi leave, Xu Yin turned to Su Chen: "Xiao Chen, you come to seek refuge with your aunt, and your aunt has nothing good to give you."
As she spoke, Xu Yin took out a stack of banknotes from her bosom: "This is some of my aunt's private savings over the years since she married into the Jiang family. Take it. If you see anything you need, just buy it. You are practicing now and it is time to spend money, so don't be polite to your aunt."
Su Chen was stunned and did not reach out to take it. He looked at these banknotes, but his nose was a little sour.
How could he almost forget that Xu Yin had given him these banknotes in his previous life. If he remembered correctly, these banknotes should be a full 10,000 taels.
Xu Yin had been married to the Jiang family for so many years, and she had saved so much private money in total, and almost all of it was given to Su Chen.
Su Chen once asked Xu Yin to leave a part for Jiang Tingyi, but Xu Yin insisted that Jiang Tingyi was a descendant of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family would be responsible for the expenses of her practice, so she would not use her private money.
"Xiao Chen, take it. If it's not enough, I'll have more later." Xu Yin saw Su Chen in a daze, but misunderstood, thinking that Su Chen didn't take it because he didn't think the money was enough.
"Enough, very enough, I will cherish this banknote." Su Chen took a deep breath and took it with red eyes.
He knew that if he didn't take the money, Xu Yin would definitely not give up.
At the same time, Su Chen also made a secret decision in his heart that he must let his aunt live the best life in this life.
Never repeat the mistakes of the last life!
...
"I don't care why you suddenly came here. Anyway, since it has become a foregone conclusion that you will stay in the Jiang family, I hope you will be law-abiding and don't cause trouble for my mother and me!"
When the two walked out of the Jiang family's gate side by side, Jiang Tingyi said to Su Chen with a cold face.
Su Chen shrugged, smiled lightly, and didn't answer.
Jiang Tingyi glanced at him with disdain in his eyes. This cousin is obviously a waste, otherwise how could he leave Zhengyi Sect in a good way.
She didn't believe in the idea of leaving Zhengyi Sect voluntarily. Maybe Su Chen left because he couldn't stay in Zhengyi Sect anymore.
The two came to Yunjinlou, a famous tailor shop in the city, and tailored a few sets of clothes for Su Chen.
Jiang Tingyi took out her wallet reluctantly to pay, but was told by the clerk: "Young Master has already paid."
Jiang Tingyi was a little surprised and looked at Su Chen in surprise. Su Chen had already paid?
Tsk, he must have paid with her mother's money. She knew that this cousin Chen was just asking for money from their Jiang family.
Jiang Tingyi sneered, full of contempt, and didn't even look at Su Chen, and was about to leave Yunjinlou.
Suddenly, a group of young men surrounded a girl with a charming face and a black mole on the right corner of her eye and walked into the hall of Yunjinlou. The two sides bumped into each other head-on.
"Hey, isn't this the second daughter of the Jiang family?" Before Jiang Tingyi could say anything, the sharp voice of the enchanting girl sounded with a smile.
"Wang Bingyan!" Jiang Tingyi bit her red lips slightly. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet her here.
Wang Bingyan from the Wang family was about the same age as her. She had always been competing with her since she was a child, including skills, elixirs, beautiful clothes and jewelry, and even suitors.
Unfortunately, Wang Bingyan was surrounded by suitors today, while Jiang Tingyi only had a shabby cousin who was begging for money, and was bound to be laughed at by Wang Bingyan.
As expected, Wang Bingyan saw that there was only Su Chen around Jiang Tingyi, and deliberately made a very surprised expression and asked: "Jiang Tingyi, who is this? Is it your new boyfriend?"
"Don't talk nonsense, he is my cousin!" Jiang Tingyi immediately distanced herself from him.
"Cousin? When did a cousin suddenly appear?"
"I know, he is Su Chen!" A slightly fat boy pointed at Su Chen and said, "He was originally a disciple of Zhengyi Sect, but was kicked out of Zhengyi Sect because he stole the precious elixir from the sect elders!"
"Is it true?"
"It's true. I just heard it from my distant cousin who is a disciple of Zhengyi Sect yesterday."
"Tsk tsk tsk, he turned out to be an abandoned disciple of the sect, and was kicked out for such a shameful reason. Anyone who gets close to him will lose face."
Even Wang Bingyan laughed, and said in a long and ironic voice: "Jiang Tingyi, your relatives are too embarrassing. If it were me, I would not want to live..."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Tingyi's eyes widened with anger, and at the same time her face was burning, feeling ashamed.
She thought before that Su Chen left Zhengyi Sect because he was too useless, but she didn't expect that things were worse than she imagined.
Su Chen was kicked out for stealing things from the Zhengyi Sect!
"Su Chen, I thought you were a loser, but at least a gentleman. I didn't expect you to have a bad character and steal things from the sect!" Jiang Tingyi blushed and scolded.
Su Chen shrugged indifferently. He could guess that it must be Elder Xingyun and Lu Yuan who, in order to protect their own reputation, turned black and white and said that he was kicked out of the sect because he stole pills.
But Su Chen was too lazy to explain.
As the Emperor of Pills in his previous life, how could he care about what these ordinary people thought of him?
Just like an elephant would care what an ant thinks of him?
Obviously not.
Wang Bingyan saw that her purpose of humiliating Jiang Tingyi had been achieved, and she smiled with some satisfaction, saying, "Jiang Tingyi, you can take care of your family affairs here slowly, I won't bother you. By the way, I will hold a banquet for Master Ye Xuan at Zuixianju at noon today. If you are willing, you can also come."
After that, Wang Bingyan arrogantly took a group of suitors to the second floor of Yunjin Building to try on clothes.
"Master Ye Xuan's welcoming banquet?" Jiang Tingyi's face changed. Ye Xuan was the male god of all the girls in the city, and he was also the golden son-in-law that she and Wang Bingyan had been competing for.
Of course she had to go to Master Ye Xuan's welcoming banquet!
"Su Chen, I'm having lunch outside at noon today, you can go back by yourself!" Jiang Tingyi glanced at Su Chen with some disgust. She didn't want to take Su Chen, a burden, to have dinner with her male god.
Su Chen said indifferently: "That's great. I don't want to be with you anyway."
After saying that, before Jiang Tingyi could react, Su Chen had already walked out of Yunjin Building leisurely.
When Jiang Tingyi came to her senses, she was so angry that her eyes widened. Su Chen, this bastard, actually said that he didn't want to be with her!
Facing such a beautiful woman like her, what qualifications does he, a waste and a thief, have to say that?
"Su Chen, you wait!" Jiang Tingyi suppressed her anger and waited to settle accounts with Su Chen when she returned. At present, attending the welcoming banquet for Master Ye Xuan was her top priority.
...
Speaking of Su Chen.
After leaving Yunjin Building, she turned around and went to Wubaotang, which was a street away.
Wubaotang is one of the largest elixir shops in Qinghe City. People in Qinghe City know that Wubaotang has the most complete elixir and medicinal materials.
If any elixir or medicinal material cannot be bought in Wubaotang, then it must not be bought anywhere else.
