Chapter 78

Lin Xueyan nodded heavily: "Dongzi, it's really great to have a brother like you!"

After changing the way they addressed each other, the relationship between the two clearly advanced further.

Lin Xueyan even took out the specialties her parents had sent and shared them with Zhang Dong.

Surprisingly, both of them turned out to be fond of spicy food, and they even liked extremely spicy food!

Usually, when Zhang Dong ate at home, he would always prepare a dish of oil chili.

This was because his sister Zhang Zhaodi couldn't handle spicy food, and he didn't want to see her unable to eat due to the spiciness, so he asked her to cook without adding chili.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xueyan could eat extremely spicy food, and the specialties her parents sent her were also extremely spicy, which most people couldn't enjoy.

As they ate and chatted, they found more and more common ground.

When Zhang Dong left, both of them felt a bit reluctant to part.

On the way back, Zhang Dong kept thinking: Could it be that Lin Xueyan's good development is because of eating chili peppers?

When he got to Aunt Niu's house and saw his sister preparing vegetables for dinner, Zhang Dong blurted out:

"Sis, you should eat more chili peppers in the future!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhaodi was taken aback, clearly not reacting immediately, and asked curiously: "Eat more chili peppers? Why?"

"Eating more chili peppers helps girls develop!" Zhang Dong said without thinking.

But as soon as the words were out, Zhang Dong regretted it because he felt a death glare from his sister.

Zhang Zhaodi walked over with a cold laugh, picking up a broom on the way.

"Dongzi, you really need a good beating! Daring to mock your sister, I'll beat you!"

Seeing this, Zhang Dong pretended to be scared and ran around, with Zhang Zhaodi chasing after him.

After a while of horseplay, Zhang Dong begged for mercy, and they finally calmed down.

Looking at her brother who had gone back inside, Zhang Zhaodi lowered her head and looked at her cleavage, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.

"Could eating chili peppers really promote development? But isn't it said online that you should eat more papayas?"

Zhang Dong didn't realize that his one sentence could elicit such a strong reaction from his sister.

Or perhaps, Zhang Zhaodi had already started to care about Zhang Dong's opinion of her figure!

Zhang Zhaodi also didn't realize that her attitude toward Zhang Dong had subtly changed after reading the letter left by her father!

Think about it, in a normal brother-sister relationship, how could a sister possibly care about her brother's opinion of her figure?

Zhang Dong returned to the house. Due to the alcohol, he felt a bit drowsy and planned to take a nap before dinner.

But just as he lay down, his phone rang, and the caller was Meng Xiaotong!

Seeing that it was Meng Xiaotong, Zhang Dong couldn't help but frown.

At the drinking party a few days ago, the Meng family had been hostile toward him, deliberately causing trouble, and in the end, he had dealt with them.

Was Meng Xiaotong calling today because of that incident?

Even if that was the case, Zhang Dong wasn't afraid at all because he was in the right!

I was just promoting my aphrodisiac wine, and you had to come and cause trouble. I haven't even held you accountable for the trouble, and you dare to come and demand an explanation?

With this thought, Zhang Dong answered the call without hesitation.

To his surprise, Meng Xiaotong wasn't calling to demand an explanation but to invite him to dinner at the Meng family!

"Zhang Dong, my grandfather has invited you to our house for dinner! He said that Meng Lei offended you last time, and he wants to apologize over dinner!" Meng Xiaotong said on the other end.

Hearing this, Zhang Dong's first reaction was to refuse: "No need! I'm not interested in dinner!"

Meng Xiaotong became a bit anxious: "But my grandfather really wants to apologize to you over dinner!"

"Dinner... I'll pass! But if your family really wants to apologize, you can help me with something!" Zhang Dong changed his tone.

Meng Xiaotong's expression brightened: "What kind of help? Tell me!"

"Here's the thing, I recently discovered a group making fake medicine. If you can help me investigate where they are, the incident with Meng Lei will be completely resolved." Zhang Dong said solemnly.

He suddenly realized that Deputy Manager Ma might have a hard time investigating the group of men in glasses, but if it were the Meng family, who were a medical dynasty, it would be different!

Given the Meng family's influence in the surrounding areas of Chuanhe County, finding the location of the fake medicine group would be a piece of cake!

Sure enough, Meng Xiaotong's tone became relaxed as she replied:

"I thought it was something serious, but it's just this! Send me the characteristics of the fake medicine group and the type of medicine they sell, and I'll definitely find their hideout within three days!"

"Great! It's a deal!" Zhang Dong said decisively.

Hanging up, Zhang Dong let out a sigh of relief. With the Meng family's help, he believed he could quickly find the hideout of the men in glasses.

Then, Lin Xueyan wouldn't have to live in fear every day.

The next morning, Zhang Dong received messages from customers who had bought the Divine King Wine.

They had received the wine and wanted to thank Zhang Dong.

Zhang Dong briefly explained the usage precautions of the Divine King Wine to the customers, telling them not to drink too much each time.

Actually, even without his advice, the customers wouldn't dare to drink too much.

They had seen with their own eyes how Meng Lei, after drinking too much, lost control and started to flirt with the waitresses, which was a very embarrassing sight!

After exchanging a few words with the customers, Zhang Dong stretched and decided to go to the vegetable field.

It was time to deliver more Chinese cabbage to Yang Mingyan, and he needed to check the growth of the new batch.

As he was counting the nearly mature Chinese cabbages, he suddenly received a message in the WeChat group.

Seeing the content of the message, he raised an eyebrow.

"Class reunion?"

It turned out that in their high school class WeChat group, the former class president Bi Kunwei had posted a message saying that there would be a class reunion at a mid-range restaurant in the county the next day.

Zhang Dong had received such messages before, but he never went because it was boring!

Now, class reunions had changed in nature. Those who attended either wanted to show off their success or were looking for a chance to hook up with female classmates, which couldn't be called a real class reunion.

Moreover, attending the reunion required money, so Zhang Dong naturally didn't bother to go.

This time was no different. He casually swiped the message away, pretending not to see it.

But soon, his old classmate and best friend Wang Lei called.

When the call connected, Wang Lei's familiar voice came through.

"Dongzi! Did you see the message in the class WeChat group? We're having another class reunion!"

Zhang Dong smiled and replied: "Of course I saw it! But I still plan to skip it like before!"

"Dongzi, you can't skip it this time! You have to go! Our class beauty, Li Menglin, is also going!" Wang Lei said hurriedly.

"Oh? Li Menglin is going too?" Zhang Dong was a bit surprised.

Li Menglin was usually very low-key and rarely participated in such activities. Why was she suddenly going this time?

Wang Lei laughed heartily: "Hehe, as soon as I mentioned our class beauty Li Menglin, you couldn't help it, could you, Dongzi?"
