Chapter 31

Xiao Lingyu’s injury was not that serious, but Yan Siming insisted on carrying her all the way to the Saint Hospital.

“Young Master Yan, I’m fine. Please put me down!” Xiao Lingyu protested. All the way there, she was seen by so many people. They glanced at her with surprise.

People thought Xiao Lingyu was honored to be carried by the famous Young Master Yan. Their eyes were filled with naked envy and jealousy.

Xiao Lingyu did not think that it was an honor. In fact, she thought Yan Siming was a considerable burden. She wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. She just wanted to be a common person. She didn’t want to get mixed up with a noble young master like Yan Siming.

Yan Siming ignored Xiao Lingyu’s protest and carried her directly to the most exclusive ward at Saint Hospital.

Very soon, a large group of doctors and nurses rushed over.

Although they were very curious about the identity of Xiao Lingyu, they still had their professional ethics. They wouldn’t ask questions they were not allowed to. Otherwise, Yan Siming could easily end their lives.

After a chief surgeon examined Xiao Lingyu’s wound, he told Yan Siming, “Young Master Yan, the young lady’s wounds look horrifying, but it’s actually just superficial. It doesn’t hurt any muscle tissue. After she is given a few stitches and medicine to prevent infection, she will recover quickly. To be honest, the young lady doesn’t even need the stitches, but that means that her recovery will be slower.”

Yan Siming listened quietly and looked at Xiao Lingyu, who was lying on the hospital bed. He frowned slightly and asked, “Will there be a scar?” It was not suitable for a woman to live with an ugly scar.

The doctor got Yan Siming’s meaning. In his mind, he concluded that Yan Siming wouldn’t allow a scar to tarnish his woman.

The chief surgeon said in a flattering manner, “Young Master Yan, don’t worry. There will definitely be no scar!”

Yan Siming slightly relaxed his brows and said, “Then, prescribe her best medicine and make sure that Miss Xiao recover as soon as possible!”

“Yes, yes, yes!” The chief surgeon nodded continuously and replied in a very fawning manner.

Xiao Lingyu saw how the chief surgeon was acting, and she frowned, but she didn’t say anything to Yan Siming. Instead, she told the chief surgeon, “Chief Yuan, just prescribe me some normal medicine. Also, I’m not staying in the hospital. Give me the medicine, and I’ll be leaving. Thank you!”

Chief Yuan was confused when he heard that. He turned to Yan Siming and noticed Young Master Yan was frowning. Chief Yuan turned back to the patient and said with a very amiable smile, “Miss Xiao, your wound doesn’t look serious, but it is still more than ten centimeters long. If you’re not careful, it can get infected. So you should stay in the hospital for observation. When the wound is fully healed, you can be discharged without worry.”

Chief Yuan didn’t bring up the issue of payment. Naturally, Young Master Yan would pay for everything.

But…

Xiao Lingyu frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “I’m sorry, Chief Yuan, but I can’t afford to stay at a high-class ward at Saint Hospital. I hope you’ll prescribe me the medicine, and I’ll go back home to recuperate.”

Chief Yuan was confused. He looked at Xiao Lingyu with a puzzled look and then secretly glanced at Yan Siming. He was both curious and conflicted.

What on Earth was going on?

Chief Yuan assumed the patient was Young Master Yan’s woman since he had brought her here, but that didn’t seem to be the case. But even so, since Young Master Yan was involved, he would pay the money to treat her, so why would the girl think she needed to fork out the money herself?

But as a doctor and an outsider, Chief Yuan didn’t dare to ask these questions.

He sneaked another look at Young Master Yan. Yan Siming’s brows were deeply furrowed. He seemed to be annoyed.

Chief Yuan said, “Miss Xiao, you’re a patient. You should focus on your convalesce and don’t worry about anything else.” After all, Young Master Yan would handle the rest.

At that moment, Yan Siming cut in, “Xiao Lingyu, do you think I won’t be able to afford your medical fees?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and smiled wryly, “Young Master Yan, you misunderstood me. You can afford it, but I can’t. We don’t really know each other. I have already owed you a favor, and I don’t want to owe you money on top of that. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to pay you back.”

Yan Siming looked irked by the words she said. He smiled darkly. “Xiao Lingyu, if anything, I need to thank you for helping me make a great acquisition. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to acquire Huiqing Group so easily. You’ve helped me expand the Yan Group. In comparison, your medical fee is nothing. So let me treat you.”

Chief Yuan’s eyes widened in shock.

‘Huiqing Group has been acquired? When did that happen?’

“Furthermore, if my memory serves me right, you can afford the medical fee yourself.” Young Master Yan added, “Didn’t you get five million from Zhao Huiqing?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head. “Speaking of that, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble young master Yan again.”

“What is it?”

“I hope to donate this five million to a charity foundation so that they can help poor children.”

Most charity organizations were a front for big businesses to launder money. If Xiao Lingyu were to make the donation herself, she believed her money would be swallowed by some uncouth person. But if it were a direct donation from Young Master Yan, no one would dare to touch it.

Yan Siming was surprised when he heard Xiao Lingyu wanted to donate five million she had just received. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Okay!”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Thank you, Young Master Yan.”

Then, Xiao Lingyu lowered her head and rummaged through her bag. She took out a pad of cash from her bag and handed it to young master Yan. She said, “Young Master Yan, thank you for helping me take revenge on that couple. This is the two thousand that we agreed on.”

Young Master Yan looked at the cash in Xiao Lingyu’s hand with a hint of anger on his face. He said coldly, “Do I look like I lack two thousand?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said with a smile, “I don’t know, but we have made a deal. If you don’t accept this money, I won’t be able to live with my conscience!”

Young Master Yan pursed his lips tightly. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy. Eventually, he took the money out of Xiao Lingyu’s hand and said coldly, “Have a good rest!” With that, he left.

Chief Yuan was stunned. After Yan Siming left, he also quickly made his escape.

After everyone left, Xiao Lingyu closed her eyes. Perhaps too many things had happened since her rebirth. She felt so fatigued. She just wanted to take a quick nap, but she fell asleep.

While she was asleep, the blood on the jade pendant slowly disappeared. Then the pendant began to flicker.

A green light flashed out of the pendant.. The green light surrounded Xiao Lingyu like a mist.
