The village beauty and me!

Knowing he was in the wrong, Chen Huan didn't dare to refute in the slightest.

He quickly agreed, "No problem, next time I massage you, I'll put in my best effort and take good care of you, okay?"

Zhao Yaru snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? I won't fall for your tricks."

"Giving me a massage to treat my illness was something we already agreed to; it was your task."

Chen Huan was speechless for a moment. "So what exactly do you want? Just say it directly."

"As long as it does not violate human ethics and is within my ability, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Zhao Yaru was clearly waiting for Chen Huan to react in this way.

He immediately replied, "Come with me to Dongjiang City."

Chen Huan was stunned. "Dongjiang City?"

"What are you doing?"

Chen Huan had never left the county town, let alone been to a city in the true sense of the word.

Dongjiang City is the closest large and prosperous city to him.

He had never even considered going to a place like that before.

Zhao Yaru was clearly unaware of Chen Huan's inner thoughts at that moment.

He said slowly on the other end of the phone, "I've been away from Dongjiang City for a while now. It's been so long since I've been back that I haven't seen some of my friends or business partners."

"It's not good for things to remain so estranged."

"Thanks to your help, I have recovered very well, so I plan to go back and make an appearance."

"I'll meet up with friends to reconnect, and also take care of some company matters."

Chen Huan fell into deep thought.

Hearing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhao Yaru asked impatiently, "What's going on? Can't you even help me with something this small?"

"You were just spouting nonsense."

Chen Huan snapped out of her thoughts and immediately replied, "No problem, as long as you don't take me home to meet your parents, everything else is negotiable."

Zhao Yaru immediately retorted, "Dream on, stop being so conceited."

"Hurry up and pick me up, I need to get back to Dongjiang City before dark."

Chen Huan didn't dare to delay and drove there as fast as he could.

By this time, everyone from the Medical Association had left, leaving only Zhao Yaru waiting there with a disgruntled expression.

Like a professional driver, Chen Huan pulled the car over to the side of the road, got out, and ran to open the door for Zhao Yaru with great courtesy.

Seeing his comical appearance, Zhao Yaru's tense face immediately relaxed, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll need you to be my driver from now on."

After Zhao Yaru got into the car, she said something in a gentle tone.

"Being a driver isn't troublesome at all," Chen Huan said with a relaxed smile.

Zhao Yaru glanced at him, hesitated, but ultimately didn't speak.

By evening, the two people and their car had arrived in the urban area of ​​Dongjiang City.

At night, the city is ablaze with colorful neon lights, and skyscrapers stand tall and imposing.

Chen Huan, who was visiting a real big city for the first time, found everything new and exciting.

Zhao Yaru looked at him and asked slowly, "What's wrong? Do you really like Dongjiang City?"

"If you like it, I'll give you a large apartment later, and you and your sister-in-law can come and live here."

"Of course, that includes Zhao Liping as well."

Chen Huan grinned, "I appreciate your kindness."

"For now, I think living in the countryside is fine."

Zhao Yaru frowned, seemingly wanting to continue trying to persuade her.

But at that moment, her phone started ringing incessantly.

Zhao Yaru answered the phone, and then her eyebrows furrowed.

After exchanging a few words as if agreeing to something, he directed Chen Huan to finally park the car in front of a clubhouse in a bustling area.

As soon as the car stopped, several people immediately came out of the club.

There are both men and women, and they are basically around the same age as Zhao Yaru.

Without exception, they were all dressed smartly, and it was obvious at a glance that they were people from the so-called upper class.

"Zhao Yaru, has it become so difficult to see you now?"

"I've been trying to get you here for days, and I've finally managed to get you to come." A stylish young woman with an arrogant look on her face walked out from behind the group.

Although he was smiling as he spoke, his expression clearly carried a hint of sarcasm and resentment.

The moment Zhao Yaru saw this woman, her brows furrowed again.

But then she simply pushed open the door and got out of the car, calmly replying, "Huang Yanyan, you still like to nitpick at me as always."

"You're probably the last person here who wants to see me."

The moment the two met, their words immediately created a tense atmosphere.

This doesn't seem like the relationship between old friends at all; it's clearly that of enemies.

Sitting in the car, Chen Huan watched the commotion with great interest.

He now sees himself only as a driver and has no intention of getting out of the car or getting involved in Zhao Yaru's friends' gathering.

Thinking that he would be completely relaxed once Zhao Yaru entered the clubhouse, he realized that he would be able to relax completely.

Huang Yanyan sneered, "You're the same as always, you especially love to pretend."

While speaking, Huang Yanyan kept carefully observing and scrutinizing Zhao Yaru.

Especially looking at her complexion, it seemed as if she was trying to figure something out.

Just as the two were about to start arguing, other people nearby quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"We've been friends for years, and we're all in the same circle. We see each other all the time. If there's any conflict, just let it go, right?"

"Zhao Yaru finally has some free time to get together with everyone, let's talk about something happy."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, offering various words of advice.

It's clear that Zhao Yaru has a good reputation in this industry.

Apart from Huang Yanyan, everyone else greeted her very warmly.

At least on the surface, things appear to be harmonious.

"Zhao Yaru, I heard you've been looking for a place to recuperate lately?"

"There probably isn't any cure for that premature aging disease in your family, right?" Huang Yanyan didn't seem to intend to settle the dispute.

Suddenly they started hurling insults at each other again.

Everyone was taken aback, and tense expressions appeared on their faces.

As expected, Zhao Yaru's face showed annoyance.

He reprimanded her directly, "Huang Yanyan, your mouth is getting stinky better and better. Did your Huang family grow up eating manure?"

Huang Yanyan on the other side became furious.

Pointing his finger at Zhao Yaru, he yelled, "What are you being so arrogant about, a person who's about to die?"

"Don't think I don't know you have that disease. You worked yourself to the point of vomiting blood while competing with me for business resources, which will definitely worsen your symptoms."

"I specifically consulted experts, and I'm afraid you won't live more than a month or two."

"That's why you've been so preoccupied with your business lately, and you haven't even seen your old friends."

"They begged and pleaded everywhere, desperately trying to grasp at a straw to save their own barely surviving lives."

"It's a pity that fate is against you; you're destined to die young, and there's simply no doctor in this world who can cure your illness!"

"If I were you, I'd take advantage of the fact that I can still breathe and move, go home and spend more time with my parents, and not go out and bother people!"

Huang Yanyan's words became increasingly harsh and vicious, and the old friends present were worried that Zhao Yaru would completely explode.

This time, Zhao Yaru merely gave a cold laugh, her smile laced with sarcasm.

A voice drifted from inside the car, "That round-faced guy, you're wrong."
