Han Xing couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Shangguan Xuelan’s words. He said in a low voice, “It’s okay. Don’t ruin your reputation if you can solve a problem with money.”
His words were heard clearly by Zhao Xiyao, who was close to them. 16 million was not a small number for them. Han Xing’s boldness was beyond her expectations.
Shangguan Xuelan didn’t expect Han Xing to think that way. She was stunned for a moment before Han Xing waved the bank card in his hand.
“I can transfer the money immediately, but 1 have to see the blood-replenishing grass. 1 don’t like to wait.”
There was an unquestionable pressure in his eyes, and his aura was more like that of a superior. At this moment, Shangguan Jin also hesitated. He had always said that the blood-replenishing herb was not in the warehouse. If he could not deliver the goods now, wouldn’t 16 million yuan go down the drain?
Sun Heng was furious when he saw Han Xing’s reaction. He wanted to embarrass Han Xing, but he didn’t expect him to show such a good front in front of the two girls.
He looked at Shangguan Jin angrily and ordered, “Hurry up and take out the medicine. 1 want to see how he’ll pay with his credit card!”
Shangguan Jin gritted his teeth. For the sake of money, he did not care about humiliating himself. He patted his head and pretended to have just remembered. He said, “Indeed, we don’t have any more blood-replenishing herbs here. But I remembered that there were still a few stalks that a customer did not take. I’ll go get them for you.”
Shangguan Xuelan took a deep breath when she saw her uncle’s expression change to such an extent. Her eyes were filled with disdain as she said, “Uncle, you’ve really disgraced the Shangguan family!”
These words made Shangguan Jin’s face turn purple. He said, “Who are you to speak here?” After saying that, he rushed to the warehouse.
The Shangguan family’s financial resources were limited. Even for a big family like theirs, it was impossible for everyone to get tens of millions. As the manager of the medicine hall, Shangguan Jin’s annual income was not low, but he did not want to miss such a good opportunity.
After he hurriedly took out a medicine box, he opened it and showed it to the few people in front of him. It was five well-preserved blood-replenishing grass.
Han Xing glanced at Shangguan Xuelan and gestured for her to go up and check the herbs. After all, he did not know much about medicine.
Shangguan Xuelan stepped forward and carefully examined the roots and leaves of these blood-replenishing herbs. After confirming that there were no problems, she nodded.
However, her expression was still a little worried. She said, “Do we really have to pay so much money?”
“Money is not a living thing, but people are.” Han Xing’s expression remained calm. If it was his previous life, he might have felt his heart ache at paying 16 million for these herbs. However, in this life, these things were all illusory.
“Swipe the card!”
He was handing the bank card in his hand to Shangguan Jin. Shangguan Jin was extremely excited. Before he could take it, he suddenly heard a burst of bell-like laughter coming from outside the medicine hall.
“What is worth more than io million? Let me take a look.”
When Elder Li heard this voice, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this little girl from the Chen family was not late.
She had gentle, elegant, and black long hair tied into two small buns with a few water jade hairpins. She was dressed like a dreamy beauty in a wealthy area.
The girl did not care about the reactions of the others. She walked straight up and picked up the blood-replenishing grass on the table. She glanced at it and threw it aside. She looked at Han Xing and smiled, “Handsome boy, 1 think you’ve been fooled, right? This thing isn’t worth that much money at all.”
“It’s best to use this kind of herb as soon as it has been picked. This was picked at least a month ago, and it can only produce 50% of its original effect. I don’t think it’s worth more than 10 million to buy this herb with inefficient effect.”
“Look at the stems and leaves of these blood-replenishing herbs. They’re clearly inferior goods. How dare they sell them at such a high price? I think the Shangguan family is not that great after all!”
A few words directly revealed the shameful truth Shangguan Jin hid. This girl was so knowledgeable, it was obvious that she also came from a medical family. Shangguan Xuelan looked at her inquisitively, not understanding why she had come here.
When Shangguan Jin heard those words, he had long flown into a rage out of humiliation.
With a loud bang, he slammed the table.
“Stop slandering me! My blood-replenishing herbs are the best. Why don’t you go and ask around? Who else sells them other than me?”
At this point, Shangguan Jin suddenly fell silent. A name popped up in his mind. He said in disbelief, “Could it be that you, you’re from the Chen family in the capital?”
The young girl smiled, and there was a hint of coldness and arrogance in her eyes. She replied, “Of course, our Chen family will never do such a sneaky business like you!”
Elder Li slowly stood up and looked at the girl. He said, “Yan’er, don’t keep us in suspense.”
The young girl looked at Shangguan Xuelan with a smile and said, “I can sell you the blood-replenishing grass, and 1’11 only charge you 500,000. How about we become friends?”
Shangguan Xuelan’s eyes were filled with vigilance. The Chen family was not to be trifled with. Now that she had done them such a huge favor, who knew what she was up to?
“What is your motive?”
Hearing Shangguan Xuelan’s words, Chen Yan’er’s eyes were filled with surprise as she said, “Do you still want to negotiate with me at a time like this? Don’t tell me you want this handsome boy to pay more than 10 million for a piece of trash?”
These words had really hit Shangguan Xuelan’s soft spot. She was a little unconvinced and said, “Of course, 1 can buy it from you, but 1 have to take a look at the goods first.”
Chen Yan’er waved her hand and said, “Of course. How can you ask someone to quote a price first and then buy the goods after?” These words had a hidden meaning. At this moment, Shangguan Jin did not know whether to advance or retreat.
The Shangguan family couldn’t afford to offend the Chen family, but if word of what had happened today got out, he would be completely finished when he returned to the main family.
The more he thought about it, the more indignant he became. He blamed everything on Han Xing and Shangguan Xuelan and even hated the Chen family.
If Chen Yan’er had not appeared out of nowhere, the 10 over million yuan would have already been in his pocket.
“According to the rules of the Shangguan family, Han Xing has already participated in the auction. He has to give us more than 10 million. Otherwise, he will be…”
Shangguan Xuelan continued, “He will be blacklisted by the Shangguan family and won’t be treated by the family in the future, right?” Her dark eyes were filled with anger.
“Uncle, don’t go too far. I won’t hold it against you for today’s matter, but I’m not so sure about next time!”
“Miss Chen, please take us to see the blood-replenishing grass! I have to get the herbs as soon as possible!”
Chen Yan’er nodded, and they walked out of the door together. Sun Heng was also a little anxious. He was about to chase after them, but he stopped when he saw Han Xing’s back.
“D*mn it! You better pray that you don’t act alone, or I’ll kill you!”
