Chapter 40: Mind Your Own Business

“Brother, are you alright?” Seeing Lin Yu lost in thought, Su Xuanhao spoke up, interrupting him.

Lin Yu came back to himself, shook his head, and replied, “I'm fine, thank you.”

“Brother, no need to be so polite. Is there anything else you need me to look into?” Su Xuanhao said with a smile.

…

This time, Zhao Donglai had no intention of keeping anything hidden. After shedding his military uniform and experiencing so much, his mindset had changed considerably. When he met his superior again, he was calm and composed, neither humble nor overbearing.

“You took it off already?” Zhang Jian asked, watching as the necklace appeared in the other’s hand. At the same time, the Lingxi status disappeared from his own status bar, filling him with joyful surprise.

Simply put, even if these two were genuinely committed, it was inevitable that at certain critical moments, they might have differences of opinion with the two of them.

Wang Li, aside from managing affairs at the Zhao residence, often stayed at Ni Shang’s villa. The two now managed Ling Shang Pharmaceuticals together: Wang Li was the chairwoman and CEO, while she was deputy general manager. Besides her own company, Ni Shang also went over to help out from time to time.

The family could have lived happily ever after, but unfortunately, the good times didn’t last. Tingting’s parents both died during an herb-gathering mission.

Master Xuyun was now representing Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery, so his words naturally stood for the entire monastery.

I knew it! That look on his face never means anything good. You think I’m older than you? I’m only a year older! We’re just in our twenties—how can you call that old?

Tang Yao, struck by the force of the impact, was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

Xu Heng’s outlook on life strikes me as rather peculiar. I don’t believe Xu Heng is a good match for Tong Wangjun.

The ground was bare, not a single fallen leaf in sight, yet every step made a rustling sound.

Four thousand five hundred points—that’s the bottom line for Hong Kong’s foreign exchange reserves. Once those reserves are exhausted, the Hong Kong dollar will plummet, and even the Hang Seng Index’s 4,500-point line won’t hold.

Ye Zifeng glanced at Old Wang with tears in his eyes, stormed off in frustration, and Old Zhang hurried after him in a panic.

After the Great Dian Kingdom seized two cities from the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, they allowed their troops a brief rest for several days before preparing to march on the rear cities of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom.

Luo Cheng immediately felt like a stock market god. And since he was one, he had to look the part—and naturally, he needed a classic victory to his name.

“The so-called perfect timing: for grapes to ripen, there must be mist, mornings must be damp, afternoons dry and warm, and no rain. Such weather doesn’t come every year,” Ye Zifeng continued, speaking with assurance.

“Because the great ones all say Shenzhen is good, so I came,” Ye Zifeng replied with a touch of humor.

Hong Jun had no choice but to give up. As powerful as Yuan Kun was, able to perceive fate and the future, he still couldn’t match the dragon-god-like might of Ye Ming, much less compare to ‘Immortals’ or ‘Buddhas.’

This reminded Yingchun of something she’d heard recently—it seemed to be the nursemaid of this body, who said the concubine was pregnant again. Word was it would be a boy, so no one cared about the second young lady anymore.

This was already the second time Xu Yang had heard the results of the appraisal, so he felt nothing in particular. But the moment the results were released, the official forum exploded.

A young, handsome gardener, drunken among the blossoms in spring, with his clothes disheveled, lay sprawled on the rocks. Xiangyu caught only a distant glimpse but was unexpectedly moved. She watched him for a long time and saw him searching everywhere, struggling to find the Flower Queen of White Horse Mountain, hoping to transplant her back to the city through marriage.

The cluster of water droplets in his right hand was icy cold to the extreme. Snow began to fall heavily all around; the chill penetrated to the soul. In this area, everyone shivered uncontrollably, wishing they could put on a few more layers against the cold.
