CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 388 SMALL PROFIT

After the call connected, Uncle Sun let out a long sigh of relief, "Young Master, I finally managed to reach you."

Lu Zechuan frowned slightly, "What’s the matter?"

Uncle Sun scratched his head, "It’s not a big deal, just recently, a lot of people have been asking us for that special fruit. My phone has been ringing off the hook..."

Lu Zechuan’s gaze shifted slightly, landing on Xia Mian who was packing the fruit.

So, this time their fruit-trading venture was rather successful?

"Make a list of who wants to buy, and later, I’ll have Wei Wei and Ling Fei handle it," Lu Zechuan said in a low voice.

Even though trading fruits didn’t make a lot, it was still free money, so why not make it?

With Lu Zechuan’s approval, Uncle Sun felt relieved.

"There’s one more thing. If it’s convenient for Miss Xia, I would like to ask her to help treat Cui Ke again..." Uncle Sun said hesitantly.

Xia Mian had mentioned that Cui Ke’s leg needed treatment three times to fully recover.

Now, it was just the last session left.

Lu Zechuan glanced up at Xia Mian; it wasn’t his decision to make, it depended on Xia Mian’s willingness.

Xia Mian nodded at him, "Sure, Uncle Sun can set the time."

She had to fulfill the promises she made to others.

With Xia Mian’s agreement, Uncle Sun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, arranging to pick up Xia Mian early the next morning before hanging up the phone.

Cui Ke only needed this final treatment, and once cured, his wife could also set her mind at ease.

After disconnecting the call with Uncle Sun, Lu Zechuan helped settle the things the two had brought back.

Once everything was back in place, the two of them briefly freshened up and then lay down on the bed.

The next day, Uncle Sun came to pick up Xia Mian early.

He considerately brought the breakfast Sister-in-law Sun had prepared.

While eating the breakfast Sister-in-law Sun prepared for them, Xia Mian’s mind began to stir again.

During previous breakfasts made by Sister-in-law Sun, she had wanted to open some small restaurants in the Mystical World. It was only because of the incidents involving Xia Weizhang and others that she suppressed this idea.

Now having tasted Sister-in-law Zhang’s delicious food once again, this idea resurfaced.

"Uncle Sun, I want to find some good chefs and open a chain restaurant. Could you keep an eye out for such people and bring them over if you find any?" Xia Mian ate the last fried dumpling, casually pulled out a napkin, and leisurely wiped her mouth.

Uncle Sun smiled and agreed.

Xia Mian was the most cherished person by their young master, and any request made by Miss Xia must be fulfilled!

"Alright, let’s go!" Xia Mian stood up, casually grabbing a jacket.

Even though it was still winter, and Xia Mian’s special constitution made her resistant to the cold, she wouldn’t dress too unusually.

Uncle Sun acknowledged and looked up at Lu Zechuan.

He wanted to take Xia Mian away but was still worried deep down that Lu Zechuan might not be pleased.

Lu Zechuan waved his hand, "Go ahead."

Though Lu Zechuan didn’t want Xia Mian to be around other men, Cui Ke was Sister-in-law Sun’s cousin, and Uncle Sun was loyal to the Lu Family, so he couldn’t ignore the Sun Family’s matters.

Once Xia Mian and Uncle Sun left, Lu Zechuan called Wei Wei.

After being rescued from the River of Time by Xia Mian, Wei Wei had returned to the present world and rushed over at the first call from Lu Zechuan.

Lu Zechuan sorted and handed over the items they brought back to Wei Wei.

Although Wei Wei hadn’t lived in the present world for long, she had a knack for business.

With proper cultivation, she could become quite an adept businesswoman.

After taking the items Lu Zechuan had brought back, Wei Wei left, and Lu Zechuan went out.

Before they headed to the Mystical World, Mrs. Lu had injured her leg and was still recovering. He hadn’t visited the Lu Family’s old house for several days and wondered if Mrs. Lu was feeling a bit neglected.

After all, even after they had an open and frank conversation, there was still a slight estrangement between them.

When Lu Zechuan arrived at the Lu Family’s old house, Mrs. Lu was playing with Meng Meng.

The little one and Mrs. Lu were forehead to forehead; all you could see was kindness in Mrs. Lu’s expression and curiosity in the little one’s eyes. This scene was so serene that Lu Zechuan hesitated to disturb it.

But it was Meng Meng who first spotted Lu Zechuan, leaping off the sofa in surprise and running towards him, "Brother, where’s Sister?"

Lu Zechuan picked up Meng Meng, intentionally putting on a stern face as he asked, "Do you only want Sister?"

The little one blinked with big, round eyes filled with innocence, "Uh, otherwise, who else would I want?"

Following Xia Mian was meant to quickly improve her abilities, but Xia Mian often left her behind, which made her quite sad.

Lu Zechuan chuckled wordlessly, "It’s time for you to go to kindergarten."

He put Meng Meng down and looked at Mrs. Lu, "Is Grandmother’s health getting better?"

Mrs. Lu smiled warmly, "Much better."

In the days when Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian hadn’t visited, Meng Meng had come to keep her company every day.

While accompanying her, the little one’s small hands would occasionally massage her injured leg.

The movements were gentle, and each press felt soothing.

Originally expected to need a hundred days of rest for her bones to heal, she now felt the signs of recovery.

Mrs. Lu was no fool and understood that Meng Meng was special.

When she thought of the two men following Meng Meng, who seemed a bit silly but were actually quite strong, capable of fighting off ten of the Lu Family’s bodyguards each, their abilities surpassed ordinary people.

Previously, she had been constantly worried due to an abnormal Shen Xiang, and now, there were hardly any normal people left in the entire Lu Family.

At her age, she had figured out many things.

So what if others were abnormal?

As long as they didn’t harm her or have malicious intentions, it was better to act as if she knew nothing.

"Yes, we brought some fruit for you with Mianmian again. If you like it, have some each day," Lu Zechuan placed the prepared fruits for Mrs. Lu on the coffee table.

Seeing the fruits on the table, Mrs. Lu’s eyes filled with excitement, "You and Mianmian are such good children!"

They’re always thoughtful, knowing that she loves these fruits.

The effects of these fruits were miraculous and likely not easy to come by.

The two children had gone out of their way for her.

"Yes, you and Mianmian have also worked hard during this time. Let’s have a good meal at home for lunch," Mrs. Lu said and then seemed to remember something, "Where’s Mianmian? Why didn’t she come with you?"

Lu Zechuan chuckled, "She had something to do, she’ll come over later."

He hadn’t directly told Mrs. Lu what Xia Mian was doing.

After all, Mrs. Lu wasn’t very aware of Xia Mian’s medical skills, and he didn’t want her to have any bias against Xia Mian.

His mother’s death taught him a lesson: even with the closest people, secrets should be kept.
