Chapter 463: Under the Calm Daily Life

"Brother~"

Not long after the doll-faced girl left the hospital room, Anna walked in carrying a small cloth bag, asking with curiosity:

"What did you talk about just now? Miss Amy seems to be in a good mood, her eye circles aren't as swollen anymore."

"Haha, of course, we talked about a good thing!"

After solving the problem of his younger siblings going to school, Li Ang's mood was also quite good, and he happily reported the good news:

"I didn't ask for the compensation from Charle Company just now, but asked her to do me a favor and solved the matter of Melanie and William going to school."

"Really!"

Hearing that the school for his younger siblings had been settled, Anna's eyes couldn't help but show surprise.

She walked quickly to the bedside and sat down sideways, while taking out a lunch box from the small cloth bag, she asked happily:

"Which public school is it? The one built in Black Stone Alley? Or the one walking out of the city from the alchemy factory?"

"Neither."

After shaking his head with a smile, Li Ang didn't sell it, but gave the answer directly.

"It's Bridge Public School, the one at the intersection of Bridge Street and Theater Street!"

Bridge Public School?!

Hearing the name of this school, Anna couldn't help but be overjoyed, and a blush of excitement passed over her fair cheeks.

"Isn't that the best school in our Old City area! If William and the others can go to school there, as long as their grades are good, they can be directly promoted to the internal school, and even study until university! Oh my! This is really..."

"Don't get excited, hey! Hold it steady!"

Seeing the lunch box in his sister's hand tilt, and a lot of soup seeping out from the gap in the lid, Li Ang, who was startled, hurriedly reached out to support it. Although he successfully protected his lunch, he pulled his broken ribs again, and suddenly turned pale with pain.

"Brother!"

Anna, who was startled, hurriedly stood up, supported Li Ang, who was gasping for air, back to the pillow at the head of the bed. After waiting for a while to confirm that he was okay, she let go of her hanging heart and said with worry:

"Brother! You'd better not move for now, let me feed you."

Li Ang, who was grinning in pain, had to nod, then slightly raised his chin stuck on the neck brace, and took a sip of the fish soup delivered to his mouth.

"Hiss..."

Was it scalded?

Hearing Li Ang's gasp, Anna couldn't help but blink in surprise, scooped up a spoonful of milky white fish soup again, and drank a mouthful herself.

"It's not hot?"

"It's not hot, it's just that it was so fresh."

Looking at his sister, who still had a worried expression, Li Ang didn't say that he was gasping in pain, but teased with a smile:

"Anna~ It seems that this hospital is a good place. After you stayed here for a few days, not only did you cure your illness, but even your cooking skills are better than before~"

"My cooking skills haven't changed. It's mainly because our family now has money and can afford live fish and spices."

Taking a handkerchief from her pocket and wiping the little fish soup from the corner of Li Ang's mouth, Anna forked a small piece of fish meat and delivered it to Li Ang's mouth, quite happily:

"Brother, someone knocked on our door this morning, saying they were your colleague, and sent over your salary for this week. It was a full nine gold wheels!"

Nine gold wheels...

Hearing Anna's words, Li Ang couldn't help but calculate mentally.

His basic weekly salary is 12 gold wheels. Including the 2 gold wheels for the toad's field mission, it should be 14 gold wheels. If there are 9 gold wheels left after deducting the bar tab... The six bottles of wine ordered by the bureau chief actually cost 5 gold wheels?

After being startled by the price of those wines, Li Ang hurriedly swallowed the fish meat in his mouth and opened the badge panel to check the progress of 【Martyr of the Wine Country】. 117/1000

One hundred and seventeen bottles... If these wines are all at this price... The night he got drunk and was sent home by the bureau chief, didn't he drink almost a hundred gold wheels?!!!

【Respected Miss Olivia, your wine bill totaling 327 gold wheels incurred after your consumption at my shop ten nights ago has not been paid. I hope that after receiving this notice, you can settle it as soon as possible. My shop looks forward to your visit again】

"..."

After reading the collection letter on his desk, the red-haired bureau chief, who was silent, picked up the wine bottle and took a big gulp of the tea inside, then put the whiskey bottle back on the table, looking at the liquid inside that was the same color as whiskey, and lost in thought.

What on earth was I crazy about back then, how could I invite him to drink so much wine?

Recalling a certain drinking buddy who was clearly drunk and felt like he could drill under the table at any time, but no matter how much he was poured, he just wouldn't fall, the red-haired bureau chief couldn't help but rub her throbbing temples, vaguely recalling some fragments of that night.

Bureau Chief, these things you ordered are all wine, shouldn't we order some food?

I'll taste others too, but I'll only drink one cup of each to taste the flavor.

Ah? Is that it? Isn't your drinking capacity quite good?

Are you unable to afford it? Should I pay a little too?

"..."

Did I get scammed?

Relying on her superior memory, recalling how she was emptied of her wallet step by step, the red-haired bureau chief couldn't help but smack her lips in annoyance, the more she pondered, the more she felt like a sucker who took the bait.

Someone said he wouldn't drink, wouldn't drink, just one cup, just one cup, but later he drank more than she did! What's more excessive is that when there was no wine, he directly lay on the ground and started snoring, and she had to be responsible for sending him home!

Touching her wallet, which had just been emptied again after receiving her salary, the red-haired bureau chief couldn't help but clench her fists, gritted her teeth and made a firm decision in her heart.

Even if I, Olivia, die of poverty! Die of craving! Can only drink tea in a wine bottle to deceive myself, I will absolutely never drink with Li Ang again!

Absolutely not!

Casually crumpling the collection bill into a ball and throwing it into the trash can by the table, the red-haired bureau chief, with a long face, pulled over a stack of newspapers on the table and flipped through the news of the week.

Sun Newspaper: 【Shocking, a citizen passing by Charle Department Store actually encountered a windfall from the sky!】

"Pfft!"

Looking at the gray-white photo on the front page of the newspaper, where Li Ang was pressed under countless gold wheels, revealing only two arms, the red-haired bureau chief couldn't help but laugh, and after scanning it twice, she cut out this report and smiled, clipping it into Li Ang's file.

In the report on the Golden Scale Sect's Holy Spirit descent incident, there happens to be one illustration missing. I'll just use this one when I submit it~ Hehe, that'll teach you to cheat me out of my drink money!

Oh right, it's already been four days. Based on Li Ang's current situation, he should be back to work today, right?

After quickly reading the entire Sun Newspaper and seeing nothing suspicious, the red-haired bureau chief, whose mood was much more pleasant, continued to flip through other newspapers.

Daily News: 【Editor-in-chief of my newspaper was attacked by rebels a few days ago, the other party claimed: Nobles are just lice in the crotch!】

Financial Times: 【Affected by Charle Department Store's big promotion, Rose Department Store's revenue dropped significantly, suspected to be closing down!】

Dance Entertainment News: 【Chief of the troupe exposed for scandal and boycotted, no substitute candidate for the time being, Master Wang Erde's performance may be blocked!】

Hmm... although many things happened, it seems that none of them have anything to do with "anomaly". The capital looks very calm recently!

After nodding in satisfaction, the red-haired bureau chief was about to put these newspapers away, but the corner of her eye caught a small, inconspicuous news article in the corner.

New Industry Newspaper: 【Aimi Wine Industry's new couple wine is on the market, couples can get a 50% discount after buying and drinking on the spot】

"Hiss..."
