?Chapter 228: Chapter 229: Selfie (4)_1 Chapter 228: Chapter 229: Selfie (4)_1 Madame Liang, with a pounding heart, asked, “Liang Chen, even though the medicine isn’t worth much, it is indeed rare. I am the only one in the world who still has a box of it. It’s precious to me. Who are you giving it to? You should at least tell me.”
Liang Chen thought about it, and decided to use Cong Rong as a shield.
When Madame Liang heard Cong Rong’s name, her heart sank even more.
Childhood sweethearts… Cong Rong and Chen have grown up together. When they were small, they often slept in the same bed. Later on, when Chen came back to Jiangshan City from Beijing, Rong also followed… Such signs…
Madame Liang could not sit still for a moment, she picked up the cordless phone next to her, saying, “I’ll ask Rong,” and dialed Cong Rong’s number.
Liang Chen lifted his hand with a slight headache and rubbed his forehead. Just as he wanted to stop Madame Liang, Cong Rong on the other end, who was playing with his phone, picked up the call instantly.
“Aunt, why are you calling me so late at night? What’s up?”
Through the phone, Liang Chen could clearly hear Cong Rong’s voice from the other end.
“Ah Rong, I’m sorry for disturbing you so late.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Aunt, if you have something to say, just say it.”
“Here’s the thing… Liang Chen came here and said that you got injured. He asked me for the ointment. Are you okay?”
Cong Rong paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said somewhat stiffly: “I’m fine, I’m fine, it’s just a small matter.”
Just a small matter, he’s a grown man, not a woman, why such fuss?
Madame Liang was more suspicious now. After humming and hawing for a while, she went straight to the point: “Ah Rong, Aunt wants to ask you something. Do you currently not have a girlfriend?”
“Yes.”
With just a simple “yes”, it was like a bomb exploded in Madame Liang’s mind. She couldn’t help but continue to ask: “So, are you spending every day with our Liang Chen?”
Hearing this, Cong Rong immediately understood what Madame Liang was suspecting. He quickly explained, “Aunt, I just broke up with my girlfriend recently because we weren’t a good match. I met a new girl and I’ve been chasing her these days. I should be able to win her over soon. Then I’ll bring her to meet you.”
Only then did Madame Liang feel relieved. She said: “You broke up with Xiaolin? I thought she was a good girl.”
“No… Xiaolin is my ex-ex-ex-girlfriend.”
Hearing this, Madame Liang took an even bigger hit. She just said “Oh,” and hung up the phone. With a sigh of sorrow, she went upstairs to get the ointment. When she handed it to Liang Chen, she looked at him with a hint of resentment, her voice filled with heartache: “Chen, Rong has had four girlfriends in one year, and you, in your twenty-five years, haven’t had even one.”
…
Not even ten minutes after Liang Chen left the Liang Family Old Mansion with the ointment, he received a call from Cong Rong.
He wasn’t in a hurry. He leisurely put on his earphones before answering the call.
“Nice going, Chen. In order to get the ointment for Jing Haohao, you almost dragged me down, making your mom think there was something going on between us!”
Liang Chen drove with a composed expression, his voice neither heavy nor light, saying, “Even if my mom thought about it for a moment, she should know that my taste isn’t that bad.”
