Both Village Beauties and Qiao Zai Shui had heard about Hong Jiaxin’s situation and, seeing that she was in a bad mood, they comforted her.
Unknowingly, they had arrived at Chen Jie’s beauty salon.
While the other beauties stayed at the salon, Luo Yang took Hong Jiaxin to the bank.
After repaying the money, they went to Renmin Hospital to find Tan Shengmei and Lin Xixin.
At that time, Lin Xijia also stayed at the beauty salon. She didn’t dare go home alone and was afraid of Wang Honghu’s retaliation.
Before getting into the car, Luo Yang helped Hong Jiaxin open the passenger side door.
Hong Jiaxin cast a meaningful glance at Luo Yang and her red lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn’t speak.
Missing her parents, Hong Jiaxin felt heavy-hearted and her eyes turned red.
Luo Yang could understand her sorrowful mood as she looked at him.
"Squad leader, don’t cry," he said.
"Who’s crying?" she asked.
Even though her eyes clearly welled up with tears, the strong-willed Hong Jiaxin pursed her red lips in response and playfully punched Luo Yang with her little fist.
Luo Yang wanted to help her find her parents as soon as possible, but his abilities were limited and he couldn’t manage it all at once.
Currently, they only roughly knew that Hong Zhong and his wife were kept confined somewhere, while Zhang Jing and the two grandparents precisely knew where.
In other words, they only had to wait until Luo Yang’s strength greatly increased, then he could confront Zhang Jing and others directly.
Just then, Luo Yang’s cell phone rang.
Luo Yang walked around the front of the car while answering the call.
"Brother Qiang, I’m almost there. Hold on," Luo Yang said.
He had arranged to meet Guan Baiqiang at the bank for the repayment.
He had already called Guan Baiqiang on the road to wait at the bank. If it weren’t for the delay at the entrance of the beauty salon, Luo Yang would have been at the bank by then.
After Luo Yang ended the call, Hong Jiaxin said, "Let Sister drive."
The county town streets were crowded with cars and people.
Luo Yang said with a smile, "Squad leader, with the road this packed, do you dare to drive?"
It was a very normal rhetorical question.
But he suddenly remembered that Hong Jiaxin hardly ever backed down. Saying this was like challenging her.
However, once said, it could not be taken back.
As expected, Hong Jiaxin snorted coldly, "Haven’t you seen Sister drive? My skills are much better than yours. Let Sister do it."
At that time, they were on a provincial and village road where there wasn’t much traffic, so Luo Yang let Hong Jiaxin drive.
But now, on the main street of the county town, he was worried she might accidentally crash into another car, which would be problematic.
Thus Luo Yang stood by the driver’s side door and said with a smile, "Squad leader, let’s wait till we get home then you can drive."
Hong Jiaxin had already walked over, saying with a smile, "No, Sister wants to drive now."
While she spoke, she tried to pull Luo Yang away.
When unable to pull him, she played her trump card, "If you won’t let me drive, I’ll go tell Sister Guihua and Sister An, then you’ll be sorry."
Saying this, she really started walking towards the beauty salon.
Luo Yang, knowing that Hong Jiaxin was aware of many of his secrets, quickly grabbed her hand and said with a laugh, "Squad leader, alright, alright, I’ll let you drive."
Immediately afterward, Hong Jiaxin gave a sweet smile and hurriedly climbed into the driver’s seat.
Luo Yang really didn’t dare to ride in Hong Jiaxin’s car, saying with a laugh, "Squad leader, I’ll just walk over. You take your time."
As he spoke, he turned to walk away.
Hong Jiaxin laughed and got out of the car, catching up to pull Luo Yang back and stuffed him into the passenger seat.
"Squad leader, you’re quite wild. I don’t want to sit in your car," Luo Yang said with a wry smile.
"No way. You’ve ridden in my car; you must ride in mine," Hong Jiaxin said with a toothy smile.
"Squad leader, aren’t you a bit too enthusiastic?" Luo Yang said helplessly.
"Of course. Sister is always enthusiastic. Buckle up; I’m starting the car."
With a smile, Hong Jiaxin then focused on driving.
Watching her reverse and turn, she looked quite proficient, though her excessive caution was somewhat amusing.
All the way, Hong Jiaxin dared not take a deep breath, focusing entirely on driving.
Although there were a few close calls with other cars, she ultimately reached their destination smoothly.
Luo Yang sighed in relief and said with a laugh, "Worthy of being my apprentice."
He was her martial arts master, not having taught her how to drive.
"I drive better than you; I’m your master. From today onward, you call me master," Hong Jiaxin said with a smile.
Of course, she meant in terms of driving.
"Squad leader, you’ve got quite the ambition," Luo Yang laughed heartily.
After getting out of the car, the two walked into the bank. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI(F)ire.net
Guan Baiqiang was already waiting there. After exchanging pleasantries, Luo Yang proceeded to the bank counter to repay the principal and interest to him.
"Doctor Luo, if you need funds in the future, come to me," Guan Baiqiang said readily.
That’s the benefit of having credit.
If Luo Yang had delayed the repayment, it would not have been easy to borrow money from Guan Baiqiang or ask for his help in the future.
