Chapter 73: Chapter 73, negotiations

“I don’t feel like I’m a threat to you,” He Youran said coldly.

“We’re all smart people. I’ve already said so much. Miss He, stop pretending to be stupid,” He Yaobai sneered, “Everyone knows about the engagement between the He family and the Lu family in imperial capital. Now that you’ve brought along a child with the Lu family’s bloodline, if you’re not blocking our way, then what are you?”

“So, it’s because of this matter.”

He Youran really didn’t expect this matter to develop so quickly. That was how she managed to get rid of Lu Qingzhuo. Now, the He family had come to denounce her again. She felt a lot of pressure! If she had known that the follow-up would be so troublesome, she wouldn’t have used Lu Qingzhuo as a shield!

She pondered for a moment and hesitantly asked He Yaobai,

“If, I did say if… I was joking when I said that the child was Lu Qingzhuo’s. Do you believe me?”

He Yaobai looked at her expressionlessly. He didn’t even have a smile on his face.

“Miss He is an adult. She shouldn’t be so ignorant as to joke about such a big event, right? Do you know how big a storm has been stirred up in the circle of wealthy families because of your ‘joke’? !”He Yaobai gnashed his teeth as he spoke, “The He family and the Lu family are both famous business tycoons in China. Don’t you know how many people are watching the marriage between us? ! How can you say that you’re joking so easily? He Youran, are you kidding me? !”

“Uh…” He Youran scratched her head. Seeing that He Yaobai was so angry that he almost couldn’t breathe, she quickly comforted him, “Calm down, calm down. Your Health isn’t good, and your anger is damaging your health.”

However, her words were useless. In fact, she even felt that He Yaobai was even angrier.

Helpless, she let out a long sigh and decided to help He Yaobai.

“Mr. He, I really didn’t mean to stir up trouble and create a rift between you and the Lu family. As an apology, I’m willing to treat you.”

He Yaobai stared at her coldly as he weighed the pros and cons.

If his body could recover, it would naturally be better. However, He Youran’s existence was still a threat to the He family in imperial capital.

“I still need you to leave Lu Qingzhuo,” he said after some thought.

“I can’t promise you that for now.” He Youran shook her head. “I’ve already promised to treat Mr. Lu. A doctor has a kind heart. In my heart, he’s just a patient. Of course, after I treat him, I’ll consider your suggestion.”

She pretty much said nothing just then!

Just as He Yaobai was about to flare up, he heard He Youran say again:

“I’ve observed your pulse and noticed that your body is almost an empty shell. I don’t know what you used to make you look like you’re still safe and sound, but I can guarantee that if you don’t receive treatment, you’ll die in a year.”

Her words were especially serious, so serious that even He Yaobai was stunned.

“But,” He Youran said clearly, “Mr. He, I can help you.”

“You?” He Yaobai didn’t believe her.

“Yes.”

He Youran raised her head. Because of her confidence, her face emitted an indescribable radiance. It was completely different from the attitude of the doctors who treated He Yaobai in fear and trepidation of the He family of imperial capital, so He Yaobai couldn’t tell. Could she really cure him, or was she just putting on an act.

He only knew that he could not fall. The huge He family still needed him to support them.

So, even if it was just a joke, he had to take it to heart. This also caused him to temporarily believe in He Youran and keep her alive, regardless of whether what He Youran said was true or not.

“Ah Zhong.”

He Yaobai pinched his fingers and said to Ah Zhong, his bodyguard,

“Release Miss He’s son.”

“Yes, Young Master.”
