Chapter 1862: Chapter 8: The Clothes Were Bought by Me

As soon as the two people left, the area immediately erupted into chaos. The second generation of the courtyard’s inhabitants had been lazily moving about, but with their arrival, the children and elderly who regularly came to exercise were too intimidated to come.

"Who was that girl just now?"

"Really pretty. Will she come tomorrow? If she comes every day, I’ll work out every day too."

"Hahaha... Won’t your old man need to whip you anymore?"

"With a pretty girl around, only a fool wouldn’t come!"

People gathered in one place to chat, and Shen Yu, who arrived late and didn’t see what happened, casually joked, "What’s the matter? After staying in the rescue team for so long, does even a sow seem destined for you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he received countless glares.

Jiang Shaobo was the most vehement, "You just didn’t see her."

"Exactly! She was really good-looking."

"No ambition." Shen Yu snorted, walking towards the basketball hoop, handing a cigarette to Meng Fan, which he did not accept.

"What are you looking at?"

Meng Fan withdrew his distant gaze, his phoenix eyes playful, his fair skin glistening with a light golden hue in the morning sun.

His looks are indeed enviable; no matter how strenuous the rescue team training or harsh the outdoor exercises, his skin remains enviably good, enough to make women jealous.

The only regret is that he never smiles; almost no one has seen Meng Fan smile.

He’s not aloof, not arrogant, nor does he push people away. Clearly elegant and gentle, yet nobody dares to easily approach him.

Jiang Shaobo also leaned in, slyly saying, "Young Chairman, wasn’t that your old man’s assistant just now?"

"Used to be," he replied succinctly.

"His girl is really impressive," Jiang Shaobo gave a thumbs-up.

Meng Fan thought for a moment and shook his head, "That’s not his girl."

Jiang Shaobo commented, "If she joined the rescue team, she’d be a great asset, but seeing that girl’s skin, fair to the point of transparency, she surely won’t want to endure that hardship."

Meng Fan’s phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze lazily swept over Jiang Shaobo. For some reason, hearing the phrase "her whole body," he felt uneasy.

This is definitely not a good sign.

"Alright, aren’t you here to exercise?" Shen Yu pulled him away.

The person who had been standing shoulder to shoulder with Meng Fan, silently from start to finish, slowly spoke, "Were you looking at her clothes?"

Meng Fan nodded.

A year ago, to help his uncle achieve a task target, he donated clothes to impoverished children in Dashan. The clothes that the girl was wearing were ones he had personally purchased.

It’s been a month since Gu Yunbo arrived at the Ping Family, and he didn’t feel much about it. On the contrary, Ping Simin was extremely unhappy. Ever since Gu Yunbo came, she went from being the family’s little princess to a pathetic soul nobody wanted.

Her mother pampered her with warmth, took her shopping, even bought the shell oil she’d been begging for a month.

Even her usually stern father was very nice to her.

This made Ping Simin envious to the point of madness. She angrily wrote a letter to her brother, embellishing how Gu Yunbo took over his room, stole her belongings, and bullied her.

Her brother had always been exceptionally kind to her since they were young; knowing she was bullied, he would definitely stand up for her.

"Today we’re visiting the President’s house, so watch yourselves, especially you, Simin, behave yourself," Zhu Meihua cautioned as they were heading out.

Having said that, she particularly warned her daughter with a look.

Since Yunbo’s arrival, she noticed her husband becoming increasingly fond of this adopted daughter. It’s understandable why her daughter was angry; even she thought it was too much. The beef and eggs they used to deprive themselves of, ever since Yunbo came, her husband personally went to the market several times to buy.

Specifically labeling them for Yunbo.

Even though she felt guilty towards Yunbo, she couldn’t just watch her daughter receive unfair treatment.
