Upon returning to the medical hall, Wen Huanzhi inquired about the situation. After learning the truth, he was filled with rage.
“They… they’re so malicious! If our Wen family’s medical hall falls into the hands of such people, the reputation our father left behind will be ruined sooner or later!”
Wen Qingchen said solemnly, “No, our father’s reputation will be carried on by us!”
Wen Huanzhi, still seething with anger, said, “We must inform the people of Tangcheng about this.”
“It’s useless. That Aunt Zhang is determined not to reveal who it is. Our mere speculation won’t help unless she’s willing to testify.”
But she’s still hoping the Wen family medical hall can cure her son. How could she possibly speak out?
“Don’t worry, brother. Today’s incident won’t be let off so easily!” Wen Qingchen said coldly. When Aunt Zhang realizes the Wen family medical hall can’t cure her son, let’s see if she talks!
Thinking about Lanlan, Wen Qingchen’s mood worsened. She decided to visit the pawnshop to inquire about the gemstone she had pawned.
Speaking of that gemstone, Wen Qingchen’s feelings were complicated.
She walked into the pawnshop, trying to appear casual, “Boss, what about the gemstone I pawned last time? How much is it?”
The pawnshop owner had only given her a deposit on the day she pawned it, and she hadn’t forgotten.
The pawnshop owner remembered her well, unable to forget her ‘three generations of ancestral underwear’.
The owner chuckled, “Young man, you finally came.”
Seeing his grin, Wen Qingchen was annoyed, “Why are you laughing? Can’t you show some professional ethics?”
The owner tried to hold back his laughter, “Alright, alright. The thing is, I couldn’t tell you since you didn’t come back. The gemstone you left… was taken by its owner.”
“What?” Wen Qingchen’s eyes widened, “The owner of the gemstone?!”
The pawnshop owner explained, “Yes, or you could say, the owner of those underpants.”
Wen Qingchen was speechless.
What the heck!
The owner of the underwear found their way here!?
The pawnshop owner found it odd too, “The day after you pawned the gemstone, someone came and took it back. They left some money and asked me to tell you, when you came, to return it to where you found it.”
Wen Qingchen was silent for a moment.
She gritted her teeth, “And you just believed them? What if they were lying? They could’ve just sold the gemstone!”
The pawnshop owner shook his head, “No, no. Those young men destroyed the gemstone on the spot, saying that their master’s personal belongings, even if unused, should remain his.”
So, since it was no longer needed, they simply destroyed it.
Reluctantly, Wen Qingchen took out the other two gemstones, “… Fine, I’ll return them.”
Since the person could find the pawnshop, they might know who she was!
She really didn’t want to keep those two gemstones any longer, lest the person came knocking…
She absolutely didn’t want to face the owner of those underwear!
After visiting the pawnshop and losing two more gemstones, Wen Qingchen felt even more frustrated.
She returned to the medical hall in low spirits and lay on her bed, feeling the absurdity of life.
Suddenly, a light appeared.
The communication stone lit up.
She took out the communication stone and grumbled, “What is it? Does little brother need something?”
There was a long silence on the other end before a cold voice replied, “Sell?”
Wen Qingchen: “…”
This little brother still hadn’t given up and wanted to buy the communication stone? Did he think she’d change her mind after a few days?
Wen Qingchen replied seriously, “Not selling! Even though I lost a lot of money today, I still won’t sell it.”
Thinking about the lost gemstones, Wen Qingchen felt even more resentful, “Hey, little brother, do you know there’s a kind of weirdo who actually embeds gemstones in their underwear?”
Yin Chenming was momentarily stunned, instinctively thinking of the gemstone on his own waistband.
Wen Qingchen angrily continued, “How weird can this person be? Aren’t they afraid that if they don’t wear it properly, the gemstone will fall and crush their balls? Or that someone might mistake their underwear for a decorative item and use it as a headpiece?!”
Yin Chenming: “………………”
Wen Qingchen, after venting, felt much better, “Forget it, forget it. How could someone as weird as that understand the perspective of a little brother with such a pleasant voice? You’ve probably never encountered such a weirdo, right?”
Yin Chenming: “………………”
