Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Xing did not expect Shangguan Jin to be so shaless, so he simply sneered.
“I heard that the Shangguan family has always been virtuous and does a lot of good deeds. As expected, seeing is better than hearing. Looks like this family is just one that is fishing for fa!”
“Watch your words!” Shangguan Jin’s face turned purple. This beast was the first to mock the Shangguan family in front of so many people.
Shangguan Xuelan did not get angry at all when she heard Han Xing’s mocking words. Instead, she nodded. She did not expect her uncle to be so heartless as to say such things to Han Xing in front of so many people.
She was a little angry. She stood in front of Han Xing and said, “Uncle, doctors are kind. How could you humiliate a patient?”
“Why can’t I afford 500,000? Take out five stalks of blood-replenishing grass today, and I’ll pay you on the spot!”
When Shangguan Jin saw the people who had gathered around to watch the show, his face also beca a little uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve already said that I can’t give you this herb!”
The main family’s descendants had not produced any talented seedlings in recent years. Instead, the branch families had one after another. The Shangguan family was so famous because of the few elders in the family. Now that there were no new people to replace them, the family could not continue to rely on the elders.
This was also the reason why Shangguan Jin was anxious. If they were completely replaced by these branch families, then their main family would completely humiliate themselves.
Han Xing glanced at Shangguan Jin. He understood the internal strife in these families. He couldn’t help but shake his head. These big families were now divided into branches for the sake of glory.
“Saving a life is better than doing good deeds after the person is dead. Why don’t you give it to him?” An old man who had been wandering around outside the dicine hall just now walked over. The mont Shangguan Xuelan saw him, she hurriedly greeted him.
“Elder Li, why are you here?”
Elder Li chuckled and replied, “I ca to Rainbow City for a vacation. I rember that you’re not a petty person, Shangguan Jin. Why are you still bickering with a junior?”
This old man was the richest man in Rainbow City, Li Xian, who controlled the economic lifeline. Whether it was people who ca to Rainbow City to do business or invest, they had to show him so respect.
However, his words also made Shangguan Jin a little unhappy. His Shangguan family had given him consultations when he was sick countless tis, and he still dared to co and interfere in their family affairs at this ti.
To put it nicely, he was pretending to be a rational and objective person here. To put it bluntly, he was a busybody. What did it have to do with him?
Shangguan Jin didn’t want to show him respect today. He said, “Elder Li, this is a private matter of the Shangguan family. Please don’t get involved.”
“You just ca to the main family to see a doctor last ti, and now you’re ddling in our family matters. Isn’t that inappropriate?”
His words imdiately shut Elder Li up. The Shangguan family was really unscrupulous. He said, “I’m just here to watch the show. It’s up to you to decide how to deal with it.”
After saying that, Elder Li happily sat on the armchair at the side. However, he did not want to let it go just like that. He took out his phone and secretly sent a text ssage to the little girl from the Chen family.
He couldn’t stop this matter, but he could at least teach the Shangguan family a lesson and make things difficult for Shangguan Jin.
Shangguan Jin didn’t intend to say anything more to him and directly ordered Shangguan Xuelan and the others to leave.
“I won’t give you this blood-replenishing grass. You should leave.”
Zhao Xiyao frowned slightly and couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Shangguan, the blood-replenishing grass is not a particularly precious herb. Since this herb today is not good enough to help others, just give it to us!”
Shangguan Xuelan was already furious. She couldn’t help but mutter, “If it wasn’t for the fact that this blood-replenishing grass isn’t in season yet, and the Shangguans have bought all of it from the dicine dealers in the country who have this stuff, I wouldn’t be buying it here!”
Han Xing didn’t want to continue arguing with Shangguan Jin, but he was a little surprised when he heard her words. He had wanted to persuade Shangguan Xuelan to buy it sowhere else, but he didn’t expect this to be the reason.
“Where did you co from, little girl? Is it your turn to teach how to do things?” Shangguan Jin glanced at Zhao Xiyao, his eyes full of disdain, but in the next second, they were full of amazent.
This woman was more beautiful than all the celebrities he had seen. He did not want to miss such a stunner.
Zhao Xiyao saw his wretched expression and her expression beca even colder. She said, “I’ll buy this herb today.”
“Two million, enough to buy five stalks of blood-replenishing grass, right?”
When Shangguan Xuelan heard her bid, she hurriedly whispered, “I’ll get him to make up for the difference later.”
Zhao Xiyao shook her head slightly. She was just not used to this person’s style.
Shangguan Jin looked down at her and asked, “Can you afford this?”
“I’m Zhao Xiyao, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in Jiang Province. Do you think 1 can’t afford this?” Her words successfully made Shangguan Jin’s expression change.
Everyone in Jiang Province knew about the Zhao family. They were the number one business family. In such a rich place, the Zhao family was the most famous family in the local area. It was not enough to describe the Zhao family’s wealth rivals that of the country.
Who did he think he was? He actually asked the Zhao family if they could afford 2 million?
This ti, he had really kicked an iron plate. Shangguan Jin’s face turned purple. He wanted to refuse, but he did not dare to offend this God of Wealth.
The Shangguan family’s business in Jiang Province was all thanks to the support of the Zhao family. If their relationship was strained now, it would be troubleso.
Han Xing did not expect Zhao Xiyao to be a mber of the Zhao family. However, this was interesting. Did the Zhao family also have their eyes on the Second World?
It seed that the secrets of the Second World were far more than he had imagined.
Shangguan Xuelan saw her uncle’s expression and knew that the blood-replenishing grass would not be able to escape from her today. She shouted excitedly, “Uncle, why aren’t you going to the warehouse to get it?”
Shangguan Jin’s face darkened even more as he said word by word, “This blood-replenishing herb isn’t in the warehouse. It’ll probably arrive a few days later if we take it now.”
If the herb arrived a few days later, wouldn’t that an that they would not be able to save Han Yanran? Shangguang Xuelan said anxiously, “Even if it’s not in the warehouse, we can arrange for soone to fly it over imdiately. It won’t take more than a few days!”
Shangguan Jin’s idea was to drag it out as long as possible. The patients who could use the blood-replenishing grass were basically all patients with major problems. Anyway, they were Shangguan Xuelan’s patients. It had nothing to do with him if they died.
Zhao Xiyao’s voice was a bit cold as she said, “I rember that the Shangguan family doesn’t have such a rule. It seems that the business between the Shangguan family and the Zhao family in Jiang Province needs to be carefully reconsidered.”
Elder Li didn’t expect this little girl to have such an identity. He was instantly more excited.
“There’s no need to reconsider the matter of cooperation.” Shangguan Jin could only smile and comply. Now, he could only quickly take out the dicine.
At this mont, a light voice suddenly sounded.
“I’ll pay 5 million.. I want the blood-replenishing grass!”
