Hearing Ye Lengan mention medical fees, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but chuckle. He didn’t expect that under these circumstances, the first thing on Ye Leng’an’s mind wasn’t Ye Xiyuan stealing her credit, but rather asking Nangong Xuyao for medical fees.
Clearly, this so-called lifesaving grace didn’t hold any meaning for Ye Lengan.
“What’s so funny?” said Ye Lengan, rolling her eyes when she heard the laughter from beside her. “Do you know how much effort I put in to save
Nangong Xuyao? Not to mention, I wasted a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill. That Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill is a high- grade medicinal pill. Even if I wanted to refine it now, it wouldn’t be so easy.”
What she said was absolutely true. The Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill was a
high- grade medicinal pill. It was difficult to make in the first place. Plus, spiritual energy was scarce in this world, and many spiritual plants couldn’t be found. It would be even harder to produce it. The one she used to save Nangong Xuyao was one of her stored treasures!
Now Nangong Xuyao was alive and well. How could she not deserve medical fees?
“Alright, alright, I know,” said Huangfu Ruiling, a hint of indulgence in his tone. “Then tomorrow I’ll have someone send over an invoice for the medical fees. How much are you going to charge him?”
Ye Lengan thought for a moment before finally saying, “Then let’s ask for one billion! That’s already a very reasonable price.”
“Okay!” Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “Tomorrow I’ll have Li San draft a bill and send it to Nangong Xuyao.”
“By the way,” said Ye Lengan, as if suddenly recalling something. She flipped her hand over and a bullet shell appeared in her palm. She handed it to Huangfu Ruiling. “Send this along with the bill!”
After saving Nangong Xuyao, for some reason, on impulse, she had kept this shell. She had put it away in her space and forgotten about it after a long time. Unexpectedly it came in handy now.
Huangfu Ruiling took the shell from Ye Lengan and pocketed it without asking where it came from.
He was already used to Ye Lengan occasionally producing something out of thin air. He knew Ye Lengan had secrets, but didn’t pry.
In the Nangong family mansion…
In a guest room on the second floor, the Nangong family’s doctor was helping Ye Xiyuan clean her wounds.
Ye Xiyuan sat on the bed. Her originally fair arms were now covered in scars, ghastly sight. She seemed to be frowning, probably from the pain of the wounds. But she didn’t cry out.
Luckily, although there were many wounds, and some were deep, none needed stitches. They just needed cleaning and bandaging.
Although the wound on her arm was painful, Ye Xiyuan was very satisfied inside. She had finally completed her mission today and received a reward from the system. Although she was injured, she had already exchanged for scar removal cream from the system. Once the wound healed, she would just need to apply it and no scars would remain.
Tonight’s accident was not really an accident because she had asked the system to help break the chandelier.
After this incident, she had become Murong Yanshu’s savior for the night. This way, not only could she gain favor with Murong Yanshu and complete tonight’s mission, but most importantly, even if she was exposed for impersonating Nangong Xuyao’s savior, she’d still have a way to get out of it.
Therefore, tonight’s injury was truly worth it.
Beside her, Nangong Xuyao watched Ye Xiyuan pretend to be strong despite her injuries. His eyes were full of compassion. At the same time, he had mixed feelings.
Tonight, because of Huangfu Ruilings words, he had already started to suspect Ye Xiyuan. He planned to have someone investigate again tomorrow.
But now, seeing Ye Xiyuan save his mother without hesitation, he knew he had to be careful. He knew Ye Xiyuan really liked him, which was why she saved his mother without hesitation. Besides, it was obvious that Xiyuan was a really nice girl. Would such a girl really lie to him?
So forget about the matter! Perhaps Huangfu Ruiling was just angry at him for treating Ye Lengan that way and said those things to shake his resolve..
