Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Gifting Pills
Since he had already made himself so clear, how could Wang Yong possibly not know what to do?
At this moment, Wang Yong nodded seriously and lifted his hand, solemnly patting his chest with a sworn promise.
"Rest assured, since you’ve instructed me so, it’s out of the question for me to go around talking about it. I don’t even have time to hide it well, let alone spread the word."
With his words, there was indeed nothing to worry about anymore.
And soon after, he continued to ask.
"But there shouldn’t be any side effects, right? I’m still a bit worried."
Liu Zheng saw him examining the pill over and over, then smiled and added.
"Don’t worry, there are definitely no side effects. I even took one myself yesterday."
"Okay, okay, then you truly are amazing."
Honestly, Wang Yong had never thought Liu Zheng could be so incredible.
Although Liu Zheng’s grades in class had indeed been quite good, what was happening right now was completely beyond his imagination.
He never expected that he could develop such a powerful drug.
This was definitely something that could be patented.
And who knows, it might also bring in a lot of money and fame.
But Liu Zheng didn’t seem to dwell much on these thoughts, which surprised Wang Yong even more.
It really was a different world for him.
But no matter what, if he was able to help him like this, how could it not be considered a good thing?
"But to be honest, I feel that Chen Xiaoxiao is quite pitiful."
Hearing this, Liu Zheng was somewhat puzzled, not understanding what he meant by that.
After all, he hadn’t had much contact with his old classmates over the years and didn’t know what had happened to them.
So in such a situation, when Wang Yong mentioned this, he naturally wanted to inquire further.
"That’s so sad, what happened to her?"
Wang Yong, seeing the puzzled look on Liu Zheng’s face, widened his eyes slightly before asking.
"No way, you really don’t know anything?"
Liu Zheng, observing his reaction,
promptly shook his head.
"So many years have passed, and I really haven’t kept in touch... Tell me, what happened?"
At this point, Wang Yong couldn’t possibly hide anything from him, and he gently pinched his nose.
He then immediately began to explain.
"Don’t mention it, she could have continued her studies, but then her family went bankrupt, and her parents married her off to an old man many years her senior."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng indeed found it astonishing; he had never imagined that such a thing could have happened.
That seemed too terrible to be true. If that were the case, it would mean her life was ruined.
"My God, how could this happen? If that’s the case, then her life is ruined, isn’t it?"
Having heard this, the person sitting across nodded at once.
He took a sip from the teacup in front of him.
He continued speaking, not knowing where to look.
"And it seems her husband died recently, we don’t know exactly what happened. It was precisely because Huang Haoxiang got wind of this news that he intentionally organized such a class reunion."
"However, before going to the reunion, I really wasn’t aware of Huang Haoxiang’s intention. It was only after yesterday’s incident, plus someone telling me, that I understood."
So that’s how it is.
Liu Zheng originally didn’t know much about those people and had no idea what had happened to them, but now, hearing about Chen Xiaoxiao’s situation, he truly felt sympathy for her.
The heavens truly aren’t fair.
After all, although Chen Xiaoxiao’s grades weren’t top-notch in the past, they were quite good, and she was pretty and had a nice figure. Someone like her should have had a better future.
Her family used to have a bit of money, but he hadn’t expected that they would go bankrupt eventually. And if Liu Zheng remembered correctly, she also had a younger brother in her family.
He guessed it was probably for the sake of her younger brother that she was pressured by her parents into marrying an old man.
"If I remember correctly, she should have a younger brother at home, right?"
No sooner had Liu Zheng finished speaking than Wang Yong immediately nodded.
"Yes, back then, it was because her younger brother needed to go to school, his grades were poor, and he needed to pay extra fees, they didn’t have much money, which is why they made such a decision."
"However, at the time, almost none of the classmates knew, and they thought she was sick or something because she looked quite haggard during that period. Later on, when people found out, the news spread from one to ten, and then to a hundred, and that’s how I got to know about it."
After saying this, the person in front of him couldn’t help but sigh softly.
No matter who such events happened to, they would not be able to accept them easily.
And at this moment, Liu Zheng truly felt a deep sense of regret.
If this was really the case, then it could explain just how tragic it all was.
Even though she had already been married off once, she still looked so beautiful.
Incredible, it seemed as though she hadn’t aged at all.
"No wonder Huang Haoxiang bullied her so much. It turns out it was because he saw that her family really had no one to help her, or maybe he bullied her because she had no powerful connections."
"It’s not just that."
Wang Yong immediately shook his head.
"What else is there?"
Liu Zheng hadn’t expected Wang Yong to be so well-informed about the whole situation.
"And if I remember correctly, after her husband died, he really didn’t leave her any property, and her parents also stopped caring for her, so it seems she ended up working in the company owned by Huang Haoxiang."
"What!"
Liu Zheng could hardly believe his ears.
He had never imagined that such a thing could happen right in his own surroundings.
All of this was just a bit too much like something out of a drama.
"Good heavens, Chen Xiaoxiao really is too pitiable. I think she’d better find a new job. Continuing like this is no solution."
"Yeah, let’s not talk about it anymore, I feel so heartbroken."
Wang Yong pulled out a cigarette from somewhere and gave it to Liu Zheng.
Then he took out another one and started smoking it himself.
"To be honest, I’ve also thought about helping her, but as you know, with my current financial situation, it might be quite difficult."
