Chapter 783 - Scheming

Mai Qi sighed. “Doctor Lin really lives up to her reputation! As expected, the Lin family’s mission is to save lives and help the injured. We, the common people, really admire you.”

Mai Qi was being sarcastic.

Unfortunately, Lin Nan was not familiar with us, so she could not hear Mai Qi’s sarcasm.

She said seriously, “That has always been the way of the Lin Family. Thank you, Miss Mai Qi, for your praise.” Mai Qi didn’t even know how to respond.

Lin Nan looked at me again. “Nanxing, our family has a small-scale charity fund-raising event tomorrow. I hope you can participate.”

I was not interested.

Lin Nan added, “My fourth brother has already invited Master San, Master Si, and Jing Tian to participate.”

I raised my eyebrows and looked at her.

Lin Nan had a sincere look on her face.

“Alright! We sisters have nothing better to do. Let’s go to the Lin family to join in the fun,” I replied.

Lin Nan smiled sincerely. “Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Lin Nan left with her sisters.

‘Master San, Master Si, and Jing Tian!’ I looked at her back and narrowed my eyes. ‘Did she say this on purpose or not?’

This Lin Nan wasn’t simple at all.

Such an untraceable and clear provocation was really refreshing and refined!

As the future owner of this shop, Mai Qi spared the motley crowd, cleaned up the place that was ruined by Jing Yan, and gained a lot of fans.

The group of freeloaders turned to obey Mai Qi once they found a better host.

After a few drinks, Mai Qi became best friends with everyone. It was very convenient for her to find out any information. Jing Ni and I couldn’t do this.

I sat at the second floor’s booth and looked at Mai Qi, who was being watched by everyone downstairs. I sighed. “This skill of hers is something I can’t ever learn.”

Jing Ni nodded. “It’s really hard for her. She has had to learn to mix with people since she was young. She’s very clever and is able to distinguish between sincerity and falsehood. This is what I admire most about her.”

“If I were a man, I would try my best to marry her,” I complimented.

Jing Ni rolled her eyes at me. “I hope I could see Master Si try his best. That’s why Qu Hao is so angry. He has such a good sister, so why should she end up helping your family instead?”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh, has the wife already started defending the husband even though they haven’t gotten married yet?”

Jing Ni raised her hand to hit me as I hid behind Su Qian.

Unexpectedly, Su Qian didn’t give me any face at all. She directly dragged me out and placed me in front of Jing Ni. She even said coldly, “Why are you hiding?”

Jing Ni chuckled.

I sighed. “Why are all the strange people attracted to us?”

Jing Ni said, “You’re not wrong about that. You should think about that charity event. Lin Nan isn’t a simple person.”

Everyone could see Lin Nan’s ill intentions, but they couldn’t find anything wrong with her.

Su Qian lightly reminded me, “If she were really kind, she wouldn’t have mentioned the use of the Phoenix Blood in public. It was clearly intentional.”

I couldn’t help but feel a chill in my heart. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that it was indeed the case.

The Phoenix Blood was widely known on the darknet, but common people didn’t know about it yet. For example, ordinary people like Jing Yan didn’t know about the Phoenix Blood, but Lin Nan revealed the secret with a single sentence. She kept calling me generous and kind. The meaning behind her words was obvious.
