Xiao Jinlan’s smile was a little stiff.
Just as she was about to explain, she heard Ms.aZhang mutter with a trembling voice, “Did Su Ye beat him up? Is Mr. Zhai still alive...?”
Ms. Zhang was the only person who had seen Su Ye fall from the fourth floor without sustaining any injuries, and she had also seen her carry a large box that weighed dozens of kilograms with ease.
Could an ordinary person withstand that kind of power?
Xu Huanying’s glance made Ms. Zhang shut up immediately.
Xiao Jinlan was silent.
It was unknown whether these two people were mocking Su Ye or looking down on her husband.
She had met Zhai Siqiao at the age of 18, and Zhai Siqiao was already the boxing champion of Deer City.
Although his body was not as strong as before, it was impossible for him to be sent to the hospital by such a thin and weak girl, right?
“Madam Su, you misunderstood.” Xiao Jinlan came to ask for help, so she was not angry. “My husband’s admission has nothing to do with your daughter.”
“I see...” Xu Huanying’s worried heart was finally relieved. It was good that she did not cause any trouble. Just now, she was so scared that her stomach churned.
But other than her causing trouble, why else would Xiao Jinlan seek her out?
This time, without waiting for Xu Huanying to ask, Xiao Jinlan said humbly, “Today, I came to ask your daughter a favor!”
“A favor?” Xu Huanying’s face was filled with disbelief.
The richest family in the capital’s southern city actually needed something from her daughter?
Then, when Xiao Jinlan told Xu Huanying everything that happened last night, Xu Huanying’s eyes widened even more!
Even Ms. Zhang was dumbfounded.
While everyone was stunned, Su Ye came down from her room. When she saw Xiao Jinlan, her expression didn’t change at all.
It was as if she had already expected it.
“Miss Su.” When she saw her, Xiao Jinlan immediately stood up and looked at Su Ye as if she had seen a God. She didn’t look as arrogant as before.
Su Ye walked to the table and poured a glass of water. She turned around and was about to go upstairs again.
Xiao Jinlan followed closely behind. “It was all my fault last time. I was blind and didn’t recognize your talent. Today, I would like to...”
Without waiting for her to finish, Su Ye interrupted, “Let’s talk in my room.”
Xiao Jinlan was stunned for a moment before nodding. She did not take the elevator in the villa. Instead, she followed Su Ye and went up the spiral staircase.
When the two of them were about to disappear upstairs, Xu Huanying finally reacted and followed them.
She was afraid that her daughter would cause trouble, but she was also curious about where her daughter had gotten the medicine from.
Su Ye stopped and said to Xiao Jinlan, “Don’t let her follow us in.”
She wanted to discuss business. It would be inconvenient to have others around.
Xiao Jinlan did not ask for the reason. She turned around and nodded at Xu Huanying. “Madam Su, please wait for a moment. I want to talk to your daughter alone.”
—
Su Ye’s room was a little smaller than Xiao Jinlan had imagined. It was a simple.
A little boy sat upright on the bed, his legs dangling by the side.
Su Ye gave a medicine bottle and a glass of water to Su Xing.
This medicine was specially made for Su Xing. It could increase his immunity and solve his stomach issues.
Su Xing stared at the medicine bottle and recalled the shock he felt after tasting it for the first time last night.
Even so, he still loved his sister very much.
But..
“Sister, you have a guest. I’ll take the medicine back to my room and take it slowly. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Before he could finish his sentence, he had already run away.
There were only two people left in the room. Xiao Jinlan went straight to the point and begged Su Ye to help treat Zhai Siqiao’s illness.
Su Ye pulled out a chair beside the desk and sat down. She was not in a hurry to reply to her request. Instead, she generously helped her to resolve her doubts.
“The reason why your husband faints for no reason is because of the injury on his forehead. If I’m not wrong, it was a cut... His body is already high temperatured. If he doesn’t lower his temperature while using medicine, it will easily cause complications. Generally speaking, the most common complication is convulsions...”
Actually, Su Ye wanted to tell Zhai Siqiao this after she consulted Him that day. However, she was disheartened by Xiao Jinlan’s rude words.
This was a problem with the old ancestor. She did not like to explain things. She liked to let her disciples and grand-disciples learn their lesson after they had suffered a loss. That would be a more profound learning experience for them.
Anyway, she had given Zhai Tianlong first-aid medicine.
Xiao Jinlan listened carefully and did not dare interrupt.
After so many years of visiting highly sought after doctors, no one could find out the cause of the illness. However, Su Ye had pointed it out. Not only that, she even told her why her husband was convulsing.
The regret in her heart had deepened many times over.
She steadied her mind and said solemnly, “Miss Su, as long as you help my husband treat his illness, I’m willing to spend any amount of money!”
Su Ye used her slender fingers to gently stroke her chin. “Money huh...?”
“Don’t be embarrassed...”Xiao Jinlan was afraid that she would not accept money, so she had already prepared her words to persuade her to take it.
But halfway through her speech, she heard Su Ye continue.
“... you must accept my price.”
Xiao Jinlan choked. Young people these days did not play by the rules.
The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and she smiled. “Of course. How much do you need? Just say the word.”
These days, there was a number that often went around in Su Ye’s mind.
“I’ll pay eight million for one night.” The words were harsh, but eight million was indeed quite a good number.
At this moment, she did not hesitate and directly said, “Eight million.”
Xiao Jinlan trembled. “Eight million, got it. With your medical skills, it’s definitely worth it.”
“I’ve already prepared the medicine. I’ll visit him personally tomorrow and check his pulse before determining the dosage.”
Just as Xiao Jinlan was about to thank her, Su Ye added, “There’s one more thing.”
Xiao Jinlan wiped her forehead.
“Miss Su, please speak.”
Su Ye picked up a pen from the table and started to twirl it. “I heard that your husband is hesitating whether to continue working with the Rong family next year?”
Xiao Jinlan nodded in confusion.
Su Ye said selflessly, “I can recommend someone. He’s honest, serious, and trustworthy.”
“Ah, Miss Su, tell me about him.”
Su Ye curled her lips. “Su Jinyang.”
He really did not avoid his relatives when he was being praised..
Without waiting for Xiao Jinlan’s reply, Su Ye said, “I’m only giving you a suggestion. The final choice is up to you.”
Soon, they would know who was truly worthy of their cooperation.
When the Rong family was desperate, they would wait for Rong Ruo to use her final trump card.
Compared to the others, Su Ye was more interested in Rong Ruo claim that she knew Huo Jinliang’s disciple…
She wanted to reveal the true colors of a hypocrite who had hidden for 40 years.
After Xiao Jinlan left, Xu Huanying knocked on her door with a devoted expression.
She asked her indirectly how she got to know Xiao Jinlan and where she got the medicine.
Su Ye rambled on, and Xu Huanying was soon confused.
In the end, she asked her, “Did you charge her for the medicine you gave her?”
Su Ye raised her eyebrows. “Of course not, it’s free.”
Then, before Xu Huanying flew into a rage, she closed the door.

The next day was Sunday. Hu Xiuli, who could not contact Xiao Jinlan, heard from the hospital that Zhai Siqiao had already been discharged.
Currently, Rong Ruo was the person whom Xiao Jinlan liked the most in the Rong family.
Therefore, she quickly took Professor Feng over.
She felt that the fainting and convulsing was a coincidence. No illness could be cured by taking medicine for a few days. With her eloquence, the Zhai family would definitely believe that Professor Feng was the most professional.
However, when she arrived at the door of the Zhai family, Rong Ruo realized that things were not that simple.
The butler who had opened the door to them had actually told them they were not welcome!
