I Just Want to Freeload on Your Luck

Chapter 41 (Part 2)

Mingxi, Dong Hui and Dong Shen made an appointment to meet each other at the mall.
After going abroad for two years, Dong Shen's taste had improved a lot. He was no longer the same chubby boy before. He was now 1.78 meters tall, dressed in a very cool manner. He could even be called a handsome boy. Walking beside Mingxi, the two attracted a lot of attention together.
Last time, Dong Hui mainly asked Mingxi about the situation in the past two years, but this time, Mingxi had the opportunity to have a good conversation with her young playmate Dong Shen.
"Mingxi jie, you've really changed a lot. Of course, the change is not in your personality, but you have changed a lot on the outside." Dong Shen blushed a little when he saw Mingxi. He was not good at expressing himself. What he wanted to say was that when Mingxi first came out of Tongcheng, she would be a little timid when she faced anything strange here, but now Mingxi was no longer like that. She had a courageous personality and would do whatever she thought of.
Mingxi smiled and said, "You too. You've become more handsome."
In fact, they have all changed a lot. After two years of absence, such change was really shocking.
Dong Shen asked again, "Is your face completely healed?"
The Dong family went abroad after Mingxi entered the Zhao family and Mingxi's grandmother passed away.

There was a scar on Mingxi's face at the time and she wanted to hide it from them, but she couldn't resist Dong Hui and her request to video call her, so the Dong family knew about it.
Dong Hui even gave Mingxi a sum of money, but Mingxi did not accept it.
"It's completely healed." Mingxi touched her cheek subconsciously.
If Dong Shen didn't ask, she would have almost forgotten that her face was injured.
All this was thanks to Fu Yangxi whose luck she freeloaded on.
Mingxi glanced at her own young shoots again. Four small trees had grown and that was equivalent to 200 young shoots.
Mingxi remembered that Fu Yangxi's birthday was approaching, so she decided to prepare a gift for him.
When she and Dong Shen were walking around the mall, whenever they saw some small things where the production date happened to be November 5th, they would buy them all, including baseball caps and other things. But Mingxi has no idea about what to give him. She just kept accumulating these items quietly, hoping that Fu Yangxi would feel that her gift was different. She also hoped that Fu Yangxi would be happier that day.
"Oh, yes." Mingxi suddenly took out her mobile phone and showed Dong Shen the photo she took yesterday. When she went to the balcony to dry her clothes last night, she saw a white bottle falling out of Fu Yangxi's school bag. She picked it up and casually took a photo of the French words on it and then stuffed it into Fu Yangxi's school bag.
"Didn't you just come back from France? You should understand what these words mean, right?"
Dong Shen took the phone and looked at the photo for a while. Then, he said, "I don't understand this. I can only distinguish a few words, such as treatment, usage, and chronic insomnia disorder. After all, I only use oral English and don't understand professional vocabulary. You should take it to a doctor and ask them."
"They don't say 'vitamins'?" Mingxi was stunned.
Dong Shen said, "Of course not, vitamin is another word."
It was then that Mingxi discovered that because Fu Yangxi once said "vitamins", she assumed that all the medicine Fu Yangxi took were vitamins.
Insomnia?
But why would he have insomnia?
Mingxi saw him lying lazily on the table, sleeping every day in class, so she always thought that he slept better than ordinary people.
Mingxi suddenly remembered the bruises and glass scratches that had appeared inexplicably on Fu Yangxi several times, and her eyelids suddenly twitched.
"What happened?" Dong Shen asked.
"Nothing." Mingxi came back to her senses and put away the photos. She planned to find a chance to take another photo of one of Fu Yangxi's medicines, and then go to a doctor in a hospital to inquire about them.
Because she was interrupted by this incident, Mingxi lost her mood to go shopping.
She just wanted to go back to Fu Yangxi's house quickly.

Mingxi and Dong Shen accompanied Dong Hui on her shopping spree. Meanwhile, Madam Zhao was accompanied by her friends from her social circle as they bought some bags and relaxed.
Madam Zhao did not expect to meet Dong Hui and Mingxi coming down the escalator here.
"..."
She was taken aback for a moment. She subconsciously took a step there, but the escalator she was on was going up, so she could only turn her head and watched Zhao Mingxi, Dong Hui and Dong Shen leave.
When her friend saw the odd look on her face, they followed her gaze and saw Zhao Mingxi and the people around her. They couldn't help but say to Madam Zhao, "Isn't that your child? Who is next to her, your relatives? Why is she shopping with another family?"
Madam Zhao felt anxious. She didn't know what to say for a while.
Her gaze fell on Zhao Mingxi's hand holding Dong Hui— Zhao Mingxi used to hold her hand when she went out shopping with her.
Now that Mingxi has left, no one will go shopping with her.
At this moment, Madam Zhao's heart was no longer filled with just regret. A feeling of jealousy towards Dong Hui had also emerged. Why did she lose her biological daughter, yet Dong Hui could get along with Mingxi so well?
"It's a relative of my family." Madam Zhao replied. But she could only say that, otherwise, the news of Zhao Mingxi's break with them would be spread out tomorrow.
"I think your Mingxi is kind to your relative." The friend beside her curled their lips into a smile and said, "She is helping them choose some new clothes, how patient. My daughter would never be so patient with me."
The two turned their heads and saw Mingxi walking into a branded store with Dong Hui. She picked up a piece of clothing at the entrance of the store and made gestures to Dong Hui.
Madam Zhao only felt that her heart was getting overwhelmed. She wanted her to stop talking, but she was still mumbling about it, "I like your Mingxi. She looks beautiful. Let her come out and go shopping with us next time."
"..."
Madam Zhao's lips were pale. She smiled, but her smile was filled with reluctance. "Okay, I'll take her out next time."
