Chapter 195: Witch's Brew

~7 min read 1,260 words

I still decided to report to the authorities. Although what Zheng Hong and Zheng Han did didn't cause any loss of life, it was still quite serious. It was estimated they wouldn't be out for a dozen years. However, I didn't want to ask about the subsequent matters. Helping Xiao Huan solve the problems here, I could finally rest easy.

Next, the inheritance of the Zheng family's companies was all handled logically. The companies were also looked after by the old people of the Zheng family, so Xiao Huan didn't need to worry for the time being. Xiao Huan's main focus now was on studying, preparing to take over the company's situation later.

And I was also preparing to leave, to depart from this place, but I never knew how to tell Xiao Huan.

That day, Zhuge Yue took the initiative to find me. Seeing the suddenly appearing Zhuge Yue, I asked her in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just here to say goodbye. Aren't you leaving?"

Hearing Zhuge Yue's words, I smiled awkwardly and said to her, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you. I am indeed leaving. The matter here has come to an end, and there's no point in me staying!"

Zhuge Yue nodded and said, "That's right, indeed. Are you preparing to go back to settle scores?"

What Zhuge Yue was talking about was naturally the matter of Zhang Longtao. My current strength was quite good, even much stronger than Zhang Yinuo's. Although I hadn't reached the point of being invincible, I had the ability to protect myself. Plus, I had Sister Ling and Sister Shuang to help me, and the authorities to back me up. Although it was quite dangerous, things had to be done.

I nodded and said bluntly, "Some things always have to be settled. And I have to confirm one thing: who betrayed me?"

At that time, only I, Third Brother, Zhang Yinuo, and Old Five knew, at most plus Feng Chen. If someone leaked it, it could only be among these people. Among them, I would rather believe the matter was leaked by Feng Chen than believe it was leaked by any of the others. I was especially afraid in my heart now, fearing that the person who betrayed me was one of those people other than Feng Chen, because the other party had said at the time that the person who betrayed me would be someone I would never expect. Since he said that, the probability of this person being Feng Chen wouldn't be too high, which made my mood exceptionally uncomfortable.

Seeing my expression, Zhuge Yue sighed slightly and said, "Sometimes, some things don't need to be taken so seriously. Knowing the truth of the matter isn't necessarily a good thing!"

I looked at Zhuge Yue in surprise. She said this clearly to persuade me. Seeing her appearance, it was clear she knew something. I tentatively asked her, "Oh? Then can you tell me why?"

Hearing my words, Zhuge Yue's expression was a bit difficult, then she sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I can see it. Once you decide on something, even ten cows can't pull you back. Do as you please; there are some things you always have to experience!"

I looked at Zhuge Yue speechlessly. This guy was really annoying, piquing my interest and then not saying anything. This feeling was really annoying. I knew she didn't intend to tell me anything, so I didn't bother with her anymore, stood up directly, and said to her, "Fine, since that's the case, let's part ways. If you need my help with anything, just come to me. I know I still owe you a few things!"

"Don't make it sound like a transaction. Is there no affection between us? At least we've experienced so much together, being friends isn't too much to ask, right?" Zhuge Yue rolled her eyes at me and said.

I smiled and said to Zhuge Yue, "In my heart, you have always been my friend. No matter what purpose you had for approaching me, you have truly helped me. In short, thank you!"

Hearing my words, Zhuge Yue's expression looked better, and she smiled at me, "Then I wish you success. We will meet again!"

I turned and left, returning to the Zheng family. Looking at Xiao Huan who had already returned, I didn't know how to open my mouth, but things had to be said. Sooner or later, I had to leave. I gritted my teeth and said to Xiao Huan, "Xiao Huan, I have something I want to tell you!"

Xiao Huan ignored my words and walked straight to the kitchen, took out the things she had already bought, and began to cook seriously. Seeing this situation, Xiao Huan wanted to cook personally. I didn't understand this situation and said to Xiao Huan, "Xiao Huan, what do you want to do? Just let the auntie do it, why do it yourself?"

Xiao Huan shook her head and said, "I must do this myself!"

I didn't object to her wanting to cook. Perhaps it was the situation of cooking in the mountain village before that made her want to try again. But the previous matter was interrupted, and I decided to bring it up again. Just as I was about to speak, Xiao Huan suddenly said to me, "Brother Yang Yun, whatever it is, can you wait until I finish cooking?"

Xiao Huan's expression was a bit strange at this moment. I couldn't bear it in my heart. I thought that waiting a while didn't matter, so I waited beside her, watching her cook step by step. It seemed she wasn't cooking a meal, but a soup. She did it very carefully and seriously, as if this was her everything.

Finally, after a long time, the soup was ready. Xiao Huan slowly brought the soup to the table, then looked at me with expectation, blinking at me.

I looked at Xiao Huan in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Taste it!" Xiao Huan signaled for me to taste what she had made.

I picked up a spoon, tasted it lightly, and found it exceptionally delicious. I couldn't help but drink a few more mouthfuls, then said to Xiao Huan, "What kind of soup is this? It's so delicious, you should drink some too!"

Xiao Huan shook her head and said, "I won't drink it. This is specially made for Brother Yang Yun to drink!"

Hearing this, I was stunned, then looked at Xiao Huan in a daze, not understanding what she meant.

Then Xiao Huan said to me again, "This soup is called Witch's Brew. The Witch's Brew is passed down to daughters, not sons. The seasoning combination is very difficult. It has no recipe; you put in whatever you like. This soup is full of love for a lover, known as the secret code on the tongue between lovers! This soup also represents my feelings for Brother Yang Yun!"

Hearing this, I lowered my head, not knowing what to say for a moment. Although I had long known Xiao Huan's feelings, I already had someone else in my heart. I said helplessly to Xiao Huan, "Xiao Huan, listen to me, I know your feelings, but!"

Before I could finish, Xiao Huan interrupted, "Brother Yang Yun, you don't need to say it. I know. No matter what your attitude is, my attitude will not change. I will only like one person in this life, and this Witch's Brew will only be made for you to eat!"
