You're really hungry.

You're really hungry.

Xie Zheng watched as the young man brazenly placed his claws on Lu Ya's shoulder. As the older brother who had watched Lu Ya grow up, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Although this kid was dressed smartly, he exuded an air of poverty and pettiness.

She is completely different from Lu Ya, a rich heiress.

Especially this brand-new trendy outfit, it looked so out of place on him.

Was Lu Ya blind or was she threatened? Why would she look for something like this?

Xie Zheng watched as the young man put his arm around Lu Ya's shoulder. Instead of resisting, she showed a sweet expression.

His eyes couldn't take it anymore, and he couldn't help but question, "Lu Ya, do your parents know you've found this kind of thing? Does your grandfather know?"

Lu Ya was furious at Xie Zheng's lecture, and she retorted coldly, "Brother Xie Zheng, I'm an adult. I don't need my family's opinion when I look for a partner."

"Also, please don't insult my partner. He is the most handsome, outstanding, and loving man in the world."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to put her hand on the young man's arm.

Xie Zheng rolled his eyes. Looking at that dark and thin face, he simply couldn't bring himself to call him handsome.

Xie Zheng had a phobia of stupidity and couldn't tolerate Lu Ye's cousin being blind and heartless. Without thinking, he looked at Lu Ya and mocked, "Lu Ya, are you really hungry? You call this handsome?"

Li Wei, "!!!"

He was particularly unconvinced, and just like he usually did when showing off to Lu Ya, he tilted his head and tossed his hair.

Xie Zheng rolled his eyes at his greasy actions.

"You grew up around us, for good reason. Do you have a problem with your taste or are you deliberately being rebellious? Lu Ye and I are what you call handsome, okay? At the very least, look at Lu Hai. He's better looking than this guy, isn't he?"

Xie Zheng really couldn't understand Lu Ya's choice, and at this moment, disregarding her feelings, he launched a barrage of attacks, "Are you tired of looking at handsome men? Do you want to try something different?"

Lu Ya, "!!!"

Standing beside Lu Ya, Li Wei listened to this man so bluntly belittling him. He gritted his teeth, wanting to refute, but was intimidated by the other man's imposing manner. He could only show off by tightly embracing Lu Ya, waiting for her to speak up for him.

As expected, Lu Ya was very helpful.

"Xie Zheng, what do you mean? You can talk about me, but if you talk about Viagra, I'll fight you to the death."

"Looks like this kid has bewitched you, he's so protective of you, even giving you Viagra."

Xie Zheng looked the man up and down with disdain and came to a conclusion: "You bought those clothes for him, didn't you?"

Judging from this kid's appearance, with his pointed face and shifty eyes, he doesn't seem like someone from a wealthy and well-mannered family.

The trendy clothes she's wearing must have been bought for her by that sucker Lu Ya.

Unfortunately, the duck dressed up as a goose has a flat beak.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei's eyes flickered with guilt, and then he looked at Lu Ya.

Lu Ya didn't deny it, and said angrily, "So what if I bought it? You want girls to buy you clothes, but nobody buys them for you."

Xie Zheng, hands in his pockets, casually replied, "I don't spend women's money."

"I don't want to talk to you, we have important business to attend to." Lu Ya said, taking Li Wei's arm and intending to walk quickly past Xie Zheng.

Xie Zheng blocked her way, warning her sternly, "Break up with this kid as soon as possible, or I'll go to your house and complain."

"You dare!" Lu Ya was shocked by Xie Zheng's words.

Xie Zheng scoffed, "So you're head over heels in love, why would you be afraid of your family finding out? You know your family won't accept this kid?"

"Brother Wei, let's go, let's ignore him."

Lu Ya pulled Li Wei and quickly passed Xie Zheng, heading towards Jishengtang.

If she can't argue with Xie Zheng, can't she just run away?

Xie Zheng watched their inseparable figures from behind, shook his head speechlessly, and turned to leave.

When they were almost at the entrance of Jishengtang, Lu Ya finally let go of Li Wei's hand.

She spoke in a flattering tone, smiling sweetly, "Brother Wei, wait here for a moment, I'll go in and get the medicine."

Li Wei tossed his hair again, looking at her with displeasure, "Xiaoya, is it really true, as that person said, that you don't want others to know I'm your boyfriend? Do you also think I'm not good enough for you? Don't forget, you were the one who pursued me first."

“Brother Wei, that’s not what I meant.” Lu Ya hurriedly explained, pulling his hand. “The doctor here is my future cousin-in-law. I don’t want my family to know about my relationship for the time being.”

“Aren’t we about to be assigned jobs now? I want to talk to my dad first and ask him to arrange a better job for you. Once everything is settled, I’ll introduce you to my parents.”

Seeing that Li Wei still didn't believe her, Lu Ya continued to reassure him, "My grandfather said that our family cannot discriminate against people from the countryside, because if we go back three generations, we were all farmers. Although my father is a boss, he is also very kind, so they definitely won't think you are not good enough for me."

The only person who might be difficult to deal with in the future is her mother.

But then Lu Ya thought about how her mother was suffering from illness, and if she stayed home to take care of her, her mother would surely be moved and listen to her.

Lu Ya, oblivious to everyone else, held Li Wei's hand, offering him emotional support.

"Besides, you're so handsome and talented. Once you've secured a job, everything will be fine."

Li Wei still had a long face, dissatisfied.

Lu Ya then asked with concern, "By the way, isn't your father sick? Did you send the money I gave you back?"

"It's been transferred."

At this moment, Li Wei's expression finally softened, and he forced a smile as he said, "Xiaoya, I'll wait for you. Go in and get the medicine."

"Okay, you wait, I'll be out soon."

When Lu Ya arrived at Jishengtang, Ye Rufeng was seeing patients, and Bai Zhi was sitting next to him.

Seeing Lu Ya come in, Bai Zhi took out the prescription she had given to Wang Shufen the night before and handed it to Zhou Lin.

Bai Zhi prescribed Wang Shufen a course of herbal decoction, totaling ten days.

Including the medicated bath pack, the total came to 32.6 yuan, plus a 5 yuan consultation fee.

Lu Ya took two hundred yuan and watched Zhou Lin tapping the abacus beads rapidly. When she finally said it was thirty-seven yuan and sixty cents, she was stunned.

The various tests and medications her mother had previously undergone at the hospital cost much more than this.

After Zhou Lin finished dispensing the medicine, she instructed, "This medicine is to be decocted in three bowls of water, and one bowl is taken at a time. One dose of medicine should be decocted twice."

"Okay, got it."

Before Lu Ya left happily with the medicine, she even said goodbye to Bai Zhi and the others.

At this moment, Dr. Zhou went to the medicine cabinet to add more medicine, and Bai Zhi went to the door to call the next patient in.

I inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Ya walking towards a young man. She walked up to him and spoke to him with her eyes crinkling, and the two of them were standing quite close together.

Bai Zhi stared at the man talking to Lu Ya not far away, her expression shifting slightly.

That seems to be the same guy from the past life who became a "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves

But she didn't have time to follow them and find out what was going on.
