Chapter 183

The countdown suddenly doubled, requiring a full two days and two nights before one could re-enter.

Regarding this, Lin Meng was speechless, but could only think positively.

Perhaps this upgrade also greatly increased her stay time in the strange world.

none.

Lin Meng, Ye Xiu

Lin Meng, Ye Chenjing

The day after his car accident, rumors spread that he was hale and hearty; I don't know how they've subsided.

In broad daylight, Ye Chenjing was not in the villa.

After thinking, Lin Meng dialed the other party's number.

Ye Chenjing answered almost instantly; before Lin Meng could speak, he anxiously expressed concern.

"Lin Meng, it's been several days since we last saw each other; are you in seclusion again?"

Lin Meng: "Sort of, I've been busy lately. Ye Chenjing, are you busy today? If you have time, let's meet."

Ye Chenjing agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"I'm not busy, then let's meet later."

Lin Meng hummed in agreement and said, "Come to my place; I have something to discuss with you."

After hanging up, Lin Meng drove out to buy groceries, intending to cook something nice for herself; if Ye Chenjing wanted to mooch a meal, she wouldn't refuse.

Ye Clan Group

Sun Yao glanced at the schedule and spoke with difficulty.

"General Manager, this afternoon you need to meet with several directors to decide on the next development direction; later you have appointments with a few subsidiary presidents to report work; tonight there is a very important charity banquet—you're… very busy today."

Ye Chenyu, Ye Chenjing

"Brother, I understand, I understand; career is important, but love is priceless—go ahead and pursue your happiness peacefully; I've got the company covered here."

Sun Yao, Ye Chenyu

At this moment, Old Master Ye also tapped his cane, looking at Ye Chenjing with a relieved expression.

Old Master Ye, Ye Chenyu, Ye Chenjing, Ye Clan

Since the old master had spoken, others naturally dared not say more.

Ye Chenjing nodded, his expression remaining as usual—stern and solemn—but inside he was already fluttering with excitement like a little sparrow.

Ye Chenjing, Lin Meng

Ye Chenjing rushed home, tried on several outfits in the closet, finally chose a casual light-colored ensemble, and then waited quietly for Lin Meng's summons.

Lin Meng, Dong Jiaxu

"Lin Meng, I finally get to see you!"

Dong Jiaxu happily ran toward Lin Meng, seeing her carrying things, and naturally offered to help her carry them.

Lin Meng, Dong Jiaxu

Young Master Dong, Lin Meng

This young master was quite enthusiastic, but he seemed like an idler, and Lin Meng didn't want to have much contact with him.

Seeing Lin Meng still cold toward him, Dong Jiaxu felt a bit hurt, but quickly put on a smile.

Dong Jiaxu, Lin Meng, Lin Haocheng, Jing Shi

Lin Meng blinked and said, "Even if he died, I wouldn't inquire, let alone where he is—what does it have to do with me?"

Dong Jiaxu

"As expected of you, so heartless—but I like it!"

"I didn't come just to say that; one day I suddenly saw him arguing with his sister, and it seemed she had their parents come to Jing Shi, so Lin Haocheng fled his parents and left Jing Shi overnight."

Dong Jiaxu, Lin Meng, Lin Haocheng

Dong Jiaxu is no fool; anyone can see that Lin Haocheng's attitude toward Lin Meng is definitely abnormal.

He fears that the entire Lin Haocheng family will treat Lin Meng the same way.

Lin Meng, Lin Qianqian, Lin Haocheng

Lin Qianqian being able to summon her uncle and aunt surely indicates ill intent; Lin Haocheng is good-for-nothing and has lost a lot of money, so naturally he needs to go hide for a few days.

She took this to heart, then turned her gaze to Dong Jiaxu.

"Thank you for the heads-up, Young Master Dong; I'll handle my family affairs myself—please go back now."

How could Dong Jiaxu fail to notice that Lin Meng is intentionally keeping her distance from him?

Dong Jiaxu, Lin Meng

"Lin Meng, I sincerely want to be your friend; I know many people in Jing Shi, including those Ye Chenjing knows, and some people hide their influence in the shadows—people like Ye Chenjing may not have my diverse connections, so let's add each other as friends; maybe someday I'll be of use to you."

"Sure, add me—more friends, more paths; befriending me is definitely no loss, I'm extremely loyal."

While speaking, Dong Jiaxu grinned and handed his phone to Lin Meng, full of anticipation.

Lin Meng thought for a moment, then gave Dong Jiaxu face and added him as a friend.

Dong Jiaxu dared not linger, fearing Lin Meng might get unhappy and delete him; after saying goodbye, he hurriedly slipped away.

Lin Meng pursed her lips, thinking Dong Jiaxu wasn't so bad, aside from being a bit talkative…

Lin Meng

And just now Ye Chenjing had taken in that entire scene; he silently set down the cup in his hand, took out his phone and glanced at the Dong family company's stock, which had been doing well all along, thriving day by day.

This guy is too idle—a twenty-something who doesn't help manage the family company, just loafing around all day, even more out of tune than Chen Yu; I'll lend the Dong family a hand so this guy can start shouldering responsibility sooner…

Lin Meng had just entered the kitchen when the doorbell rang; she opened the door to see Ye Chenjing, and her eyes flickered.

"You came so early? Looks like you're really idle—come help me cook."

Ye Chenjing didn't refuse; he was eager to spend more time with Lin Meng, so he naturally rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen. Seeing the fish and shrimp in the pond, he got straight to work without saying a word.

Lin Meng never expected that a big boss worth over a hundred billion would also know this bit of kitchen work, and she couldn't help but gain a new impression of Ye Chenjing.

Just then, Lin Meng spoke up.

"By the way, I asked you over today mainly to see if those big shots are still asking you about medicinal materials—I've got a batch of goods I can trade right away."

Ye Chenjing's motion paused at those words.

As expected, Lin Meng hadn't sought him out just to hang out, but even if she just needed something, he was happy to help.

So, while deveining the shrimp, Ye Chenjing said:

"They ask every few days, and the Chinese Medicine Association's Yang Chairman has asked several times already—he wants a few stalks of Fresh Goods; I don't know if you have any."

"Fresh Goods? Fresh medicinal materials that can be grown with soil?"

Lin Meng suddenly had an epiphany.

Exactly—if the medicinal materials from Ye Fan's side could be cultivated here, it would be an unprecedented boon for the nation's medical development.

And how could she have forgotten about soil? She could also provide Ye Heng with unpolluted dirt!
