Chapter 242: Chapter 240: Slapping the Apocalypse Reborn Woman 21
Anning didn’t say yes, and she didn’t say no either.
She just smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Then, Xiao Yuan knew that Xiao Keke had guessed correctly.
Thinking of the recent actions of the Su family father and daughter, he felt anxious.
Looking at Anning, who was smiling brightly as if she hadn’t considered the great crisis that might come in the future, Xiao Yuan couldn’t help but remind her, "Su Leqing is not simple. She is buying supplies in large quantities now, which might suggest that humans could face survival threats in the future."
This was already the limit of what Xiao Yuan could do.
He was always a cautious person and never liked to meddle in others’ affairs.
But this time, in front of Anning, he couldn’t control himself from doing so.
Anning blinked and sized up Xiao Yuan.
"Thank you for the reminder."
She stood up to call Jixiang and Ruyi.
Seeing Anning about to leave, Xiao Yuan became anxious, "If you still want to continue your education, I can help you. I can ensure Su Leqing doesn’t target you."
As Anning walked outside, she waved her hand backward, "No need, I don’t like owing favors."
After paying the bill, Xiao Yuan rushed out only to find Anning was already gone.
He stood disappointed at the entrance of the beverage shop, feeling choked up yet hollow inside, unsure of what was wrong with him.
Xiao Yuan’s mobile phone, tucked in his pocket, rang.
He hurriedly took it out to answer, but it was an SMS received from an unknown sender, without any caller ID or source.
"Su Leqing’s memories may not be accurate, don’t take her too seriously."
Seeing this message, Xiao Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly.
He knew this was sent by Anning.
But the meaning behind it was quite thought-provoking.
He put the mobile phone back in his pocket and walked back to the hotel.
On the way back, Xiao Yuan’s thoughts were in disarray.
Anning’s message undeniably acknowledged that she knew all along about Su Leqing’s rebirth experience and also reminded Xiao Yuan that things might change in this life and to not follow the steps of the Su family.
Xiao Yuan frowned.
What changes had occurred compared to Su Leqing’s previous life memories?
He thought it over and finally wondered, could it be that the apocalypse won’t happen?
But how could that be possible?
That would be a global catastrophe; how could it just not occur?
However, Xiao Yuan chose to trust Anning.
He decided not to buy seafood anymore and would return to the capital after discussing cooperation matters with Yin Baichuan.
Anning, along with Jixiang and Ruyi, went shopping for clothes.
While in the elevator, Ruyi asked Anning, "Auntie, Auntie, do you know that uncle just now?"
Anning smiled, "Not really."
"Then you should get to know him quickly."
Ruyi looked up, her big eyes filled with encouragement, "Auntie, don’t be scared or shy. When it’s time to make a move, go for it and win that uncle over."
Jixiang patted Ruyi’s head, "Silly Ruyi."
Ruyi retorted, "I am smart. Yangyang brother praises me, you’re the silly one."
"Silly."
Jixiang, puffing up her cheeks said, "If Auntie ran off with that uncle, what would we do? We’d be unwanted."
"What should we do about that?"
Ruyi pondered, "But Auntie is already getting old. If no one wants her, she’ll be past her prime."
Jixiang pinched Ruyi’s cheek, "We need to check out that uncle properly. If he’s willing to marry Auntie along with us, we’ll let Auntie be with him."
Anning was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
With a slap on the heads of Jixiang and Ruyi, she said, "What nonsense are you two talking about? I just exchanged a few words with that Uncle Xiao, how did it come to marrying him?"
Ruyi rubbed her head, "Auntie, don’t hit our heads. You’ll make us stupid. We’re so smart and cute, if we turned dumb, you’d be heartbroken like Yangyang’s mom."
Jixiang made a face at Anning, "Auntie, stop lying. That uncle’s eyes were shining when he looked at you, it’s obvious he likes you."
"Right, right."
Ruyi vigorously nodded, "When we were leaving, he even chased after us. Auntie just took us around the corner and he couldn’t see us anymore, what a dummy."
Ruyi quite disliked Xiao Yuan, "But he’s really handsome. Considering his good looks, we can tolerate everything else."
Several young girls in the elevator, upon hearing this, and looking at the clever and cute Jixiang and Ruyi, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
One of the girls even loudly encouraged Anning, "Miss, your kids have noticed a handsome guy who likes you. If you like him too, don’t miss out."
Anning was extremely embarrassed and, once the elevator stopped, pulled Jixiang and Ruyi to run out quickly.
Jixiang and Ruyi quieted down, but An Xin started acting up again.
While Anning was shopping for clothes for Jixiang and Ruyi, An Xin began to clamor.
"Ningning, don’t make my A Yuan wait too long."
Anning ignored An Xin.
An Xin yelled even more fervently, "Poor A Yuan, faithfully loves without regret. How did he end up with a heartless woman like you? You betray his trust, you abandon your husband and child, you—"
Anning immediately put An Xin in confinement.
Recently, Yin Baichuan has been extremely busy.
He has been busy with Anning’s new drug, and additionally, he had a big project to discuss with representatives from the Xiao Family.
The people from the Xiao Family had arrived for two days, and Yin Baichuan was tied up and could only have his secretary arrange for the Xiao Family people to tour around South City first.
After arranging everything for Anning, he promptly scheduled a meeting with the people from the Xiao Family.
Since he had kept them waiting, Yin Baichuan was particularly apologetic.
He and Xiao Zhiyuan had known each other for a long time, and their relationship was pretty good, one could say they were friends. Hearing that the representative from the Xiao Family was Xiao Yuan, Yin Baichuan, in order to express his apology, said he would take Xiao Yuan out for a meal at his home.
After talking for two days and settling the project matters, he brought Xiao Yuan home for a meal.
On the way back, Yin Baichuan’s phone started ringing.
He smiled at Xiao Yuan and quickly answered the call.
The call was about the patent for Anning’s new medicine which had been successfully applied for. The medicine had also been sent to the hospital for a small-scale trial among patients. According to feedback from the patients, the medicine was very effective.
There were no adverse reactions, but the medicinal effects were particularly good. After using the medicine for seven days, they no longer had to watch their diet, and their blood sugar remained low. It seems that after using the medicine for a month, diabetes could be completely eradicated.
Yin Baichuan was particularly happy for Anning, continuously saying, "Great, having therapeutic effects is wonderful. I didn’t expect the medicine Anning developed to be so good. She is truly clever and capable. Alright, I’ll tell her. Such good medicine should indeed be produced and marketed quickly."
Xiao Yuan perked up upon hearing Anning’s name.
"Uncle Yin, do you know Anning?"
After hanging up, Yin Baichuan smiled at Xiao Yuan, "Yes, Anning is a lifesaver for our whole family. Back when our Yangyang was kidnapped, if it weren’t for Anning rescuing him, I wouldn’t be here chatting with you right now."
Xiao Yuan felt a wave of relief.
He had been worried that Anning, unfamiliar with life in South City, might be bullied. Now hearing Yin Baichuan’s words, it was clear that Anning had the backing of the Yin Family. With Yin Baichuan’s status and influence in South City, protecting Anning would be easy.
"So, that’s how it is."
Xiao Yuan nodded, "Anning took a leave from Qing University, and I’ve been looking for her ever since, but she hid too well, I couldn’t find her. Now that I know she knows Uncle Yin, I feel relieved."
Yin Baichuan was momentarily stunned and sized up Xiao Yuan, "You and Anning are..."
"Friends."
Xiao Yuan quickly assigned himself the role of a friend, "We even met a couple of days ago."
Yin Baichuan then considered Xiao Yuan and Anning to be especially close friends, perhaps even boyfriend and girlfriend.
