Chapter 379 - 379 379 Keeping the Appointment

379: Chapter 379: Keeping the Appointment 379: Chapter 379: Keeping the Appointment Seeing Gao Ya’s indifferent expression, Chen Yang knew she must have overthought things.

She was clearly jealous!

Chen Yang wanted to follow her to explain, but given their secret relationship, that was definitely not an option.

So he had to endure it.

He thought he would explain it the next time he had the chance.

He and Wang Jingman were truly just friends.

After Gao Ya left with Gu Linshan, Chen Yang didn’t linger in the hotel lobby with Wang Jingman either.

They immediately followed them out and then got into Wang Jingman’s car.

Once in the car, Wang Jingman suddenly asked Chen Yang, “Chen Yang, what’s your relationship with that person just now?

Why do I feel like she was unhappy to hear that I’m dining with you?”

Gao Ya’s expression had suddenly turned cold, and it was quite obvious.

So not only did Chen Yang notice, but Wang Jingman did as well.

“The Sister Gao from before is a business partner of mine; she is the general manager of the Gu Family Group in the provincial city.

They mine in our area; she is always like this, quite cold to strangers.”

Chen Yang didn’t know exactly how to explain, so he just said that Gao Ya was colder to those she didn’t know.

Wang Jingman, after hearing Chen Yang’s explanation, didn’t think much of it anymore.

After a long silence, she suddenly said, “The Gu Family Group is quite a big enterprise in the provincial city, and you can cooperate with them.

You’re pretty impressive.”

Wang Jingman then cast him a meaningful glance.

Chen Yang gave a wry smile, “There’s nothing impressive about it.

It’s just that my family’s land happens to sit on a mineral vein.

The Gu Family needs to mine, and they have to work with me, that’s all.”

“Oh, okay then.”

Wang Jingman was mildly disappointed with this answer.

She had thought Chen Yang might have had significant backing.

It turned out his connection to the Gu Family was merely due to land.

After ending this topic, neither of them continued to chat while sitting in the car.

When they returned to Li Han’s herbal shop, after getting out of the car, Wang Jingman invited Chen Yang to come in and sit a while, to visit Li Han and his wife.

“Better not go in, I still have things to do.

Besides, Li Han’s shop is always here; I can come by anytime to visit.”

Chen Yang declined with a smile.

“Well…

alright then, go ahead with your business.”

Wang Jingman nodded.

“Mhm, bye.”

Chen Yang waved his hand and then drove off in his van.

It was just past one o’clock after having lunch.

The sun was fiercely hot at this time.

Chen Yang thought about heading back to Liuhe Village but then he pondered, considering that he still had dinner at the old man’s house tonight.

Coming back again would be redundant, wouldn’t it?

So after some thought, Chen Yang decided to go to Lin Tian Xia.

After chatting with Li Han for a while and flirting a bit, he went to the hotel room where the medicinal herbs were stored.

With nothing better to do, Chen Yang planned to process all the remaining unrefined herbs.

After all, the medicinal meals at Lin Tian Xia were popular, and making more would certainly be beneficial.

By evening, Chen Yang saw that it was about time.

He stretched out and stood up.

“That’s about time, off to see the old man.”

Chen Yang left the room, then took the elevator to the top floor, and let Li Han know he was leaving.

“Leaving now?

Why not have dinner here before you go?”

Li Han asked him to stay.

It was indeed dinner time, and she had already instructed the kitchen to prepare Chen Yang’s dinner.

“I’ve got some things to take care of, so I’ll skip dinner here.

I’ll just eat there; it’s all the same.”

Chen Yang said with a smile.

Knowing Chen Yang must have had his reasons, Li Han didn’t press further.

“Alright then, go ahead, but make sure you eat something.

Don’t starve yourself.”

Li Han expressed her concern.

“Mm-hmm, I got it,”

Chen Yang smiled and nodded, then went over and hugged her tightly, kissing her firmly before

he left.

Arriving at the hotel’s entrance, Chen Yang drove towards Night Snack Street.

By then, the sky had darkened, and neon lights filled the street.

Especially in places like Night Snack Street, the lights were particularly resplendent.

Today wasn’t about delivering lobsters, so Chen Yang didn’t drive the van into the alley but parked by the roadside in front of the old man’s shop.

After getting out of the car, Chen Yang walked straight in.

At this time, there were hardly any customers in the snack shop, just a few workers bustling around.

“Old man, I’m here.

Where are you?”

As Chen Yang entered the shop, he called out.

Hearing Chen Yang’s voice, the shop’s old man immediately came out beaming with joy.

“Ah, Boss Chen, you’re here so early?”

The old man laughed.

Chen Yang looked at him, “With all your urgent reminders, how could I not come early?”

“Haha, okay, let’s go then.”

The old man laughed heartily and, without dallying, led Chen Yang away from the snack shop to head back.

About ten minutes after leaving the snack shop, Chen Yang followed the old man to an old residential building.

Surrounding buildings were similarly aged, looking to be at least twenty years old.

“Old man, the business at your Night Snack Street shop isn’t bad, is it?

Why do you still live in a place like this?

Isn’t it inconvenient?”

After scanning the surroundings, Chen Yang said.

The old man paused slightly upon hearing this, but the smile on his face didn’t fade.

“I’ve lived here all my life; what’s inconvenient about it?

Besides, even though the business is good, I have many other financial needs.

I don’t have spare money to buy a house for myself.”

The old man said this cheerfully, as usual.

However, Chen Yang could sense an undercurrent of emotion in his words.

It seemed the old man had some difficulties.

“Old man, are you having some troubles?”

Thinking this, Chen Yang asked directly.

The old man shook his head, “Nothing serious.

Today I invited you over for dinner and drinks, let’s not talk about this now.

Let’s go upstairs, we’re not going home until we’re drunk.”

The old man didn’t answer Chen Yang’s question but redirected the conversation.

Seeing that the old man didn’t want to continue, Chen Yang didn’t press the matter.

He followed the old man and climbed the stairs together.

The old-style apartment buildings weren’t tall.

They were only about seven or eight stories high.

But climbing them was quite the ordeal.

Especially since the old man’s home was on the very top floor.

By the time they reached the apartment, both had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

“Old man, I admire you, climbing up and down every day, isn’t it tiring?”

Chen Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

The old man laughed heartily, “You get used to it.

I’ve lived here for decades; I’m used to it.”

After speaking, the old man took out a set of keys from his pocket and opened the door.

Though the old-style building was run-down, the old man’s home was quite decent.

It wasn’t what Chen Yang had imagined.

Entering the old man’s house, Chen Yang’s gaze involuntarily swept across his surroundings.

A modestly sized living room featured a sofa, coffee table, and TV.

On the coffee table, there were many steaming dishes.

And several bottles of expensive liquor.
