Upon hearing the housekeeper's words, Ye Ningwan immediately understood.

However, before she could speak, Ye Jingyu interrupted her with considerable dissatisfaction.

"Mommy can't fail!"

The butler was even more embarrassed. What could he say? He wasn't a doctor.

“But now Miss Pei has come to make a scene, insisting on seeing you. We have already told you that you are resting and that Ninth Master has ordered that no one should disturb you, but Miss Pei simply doesn’t care. Look at how she has scratched me; I really can’t stop her.”

Ye Ningwan rarely saw the usually composed butler make such an expression, so she couldn't help but smile and say to him.

"I'll go take a look."

As she spoke, she threw off the covers and prepared to get up.

The butler immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Ye Ningwan, and retreated while speaking.

"Then please change your clothes. I'll leave now and wait for you outside."

As the butler spoke, he seemed to remember something, so he slightly raised his head, beckoned to Ye Jingyu who was sitting on the bed, and coaxed him in a low voice.

"Young Master Xing, Madam needs to change her clothes. Please come out with me."

Ye Jingyu turned to look at Ye Ningwan, who had already gotten up from the bed. He pulled a pillow over the oddly curved blanket, slid off the bed, ran towards the butler, took the butler's hand, and quickly walked out.

"Okay, Uncle Butler, let's go quickly."

...

When Ye Ningwan changed her clothes and came downstairs, Pei Mingzhu was still making a scene in the living room.

"Get out of my way! Who do you think you are, daring to stop me?!"

"Make Ye Ningwan come out and see me! She's done this to my daughter, and she still has the nerve to hide?!"

"Ye Ningwan, let me tell you, you can't hide forever. If anything happens to Tangtang, I will never let you off the hook! I'm not afraid of Pei Fengzhi. I'm willing to risk my life, so why would I be afraid of Pei Fengzhi?!"

"..."

Pei Mingzhu's shouts and curses were incessant.

In the villa's hall, a group of bodyguards stood like an insurmountable wall of flesh in front of Pei Mingzhu.

The butler stood at the front, speaking to them gently and patiently.

Not far away, Ye Jingyu was nestled on a sofa with an iPad on his lap, tapping away at it with his little fingers, seemingly undisturbed by the noise from nearby.

This scene of movement and stillness was observed by Ye Ningwan.

Pei Fengzhi must have gone off on something very important, Ye Ningwan guessed that the housekeeper hadn't informed Pei Fengzhi.

Otherwise, based on Pei Fengzhi's past practices, he would have rushed back as quickly as possible and would never have allowed anyone to cause such a scene in his own home.

She glanced coolly at the butler who was standing there blocking Pei Mingzhu, and spoke in a lukewarm tone.

"Wenbo".

The hall fell silent instantly.

Both the housekeeper and Pei Mingzhu looked up at Ye Ningwan standing on the stairs. Even Ye Jingyu, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up from his iPad and looked in Ye Ningwan's direction.

Pei Mingzhu was the first to react.

She took two steps forward and roared in a hoarse voice.

"Ye Ningwan!"

Ye Ningwan lowered her eyes, looking down at Pei Mingzhu with a faint disdain.

"Um."

Pei Mingzhu pushed aside the bodyguard blocking her way, strode towards the stairwell, raised her head, and glared at Ye Ningwan, scolding her sharply.

"Ye Ningwan! You've finally come out. Why aren't you hiding anymore?"

Pei Mingzhu's voice was sharp and sarcastic, like the screeching sound of fingernails scraping against a blackboard.

Ye Ningwan walked down the stairs step by step until she stood in front of Pei Mingzhu.

She stood on the first step, now a head and a half taller than Pei Mingzhu, who was wearing high heels.

The two were very close, Ye Ningwan's gaze was icy cold as she looked down at Pei Mingzhu with such a domineering presence that Pei Mingzhu could no longer utter a single word.

Ye Ningwan did not answer Pei Mingzhu's question, but instead asked a question indifferently.

"Is there something you need?"

Pei Mingzhu opened her mouth, only to find that her throat felt like it was being choked.

"I...I..."

She couldn't utter another word for a long time. She swallowed hard, her dry throat tasting of blood, and finally spoke with difficulty.

"I...I came to ask...why hasn't Tangtang woken up yet? What did you do to her? Why hasn't she woken up yet?! Did the surgery fail and you deliberately lied to me and said it was successful?! Right?!"

As Pei Mingzhu spoke, she reached out and grabbed Ye Ningwan's clothes forcefully, growling through gritted teeth.

"Is that right?!"

Ye Ningwan still looked at Pei Mingzhu with the same indifferent calm.

She asked, puzzled.

"Pei Mingzhu, don't you believe me?"

Pei Mingzhu was stunned.

Then Ye Ningwan continued speaking.

"If you don't trust me, then why did you ask me to perform the surgery on Fang Ruotang?"

Pei Mingzhu opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

she……

"I..." Pei Mingzhu, her neck stiff and eyes red, roared at Ye Ningwan, "I thought you could save Tangtang! Aren't you a legendary healer? Shouldn't you be able to save anyone?"

Ye Ningwan's lips curled into a slight smile as she spoke coldly.

"What do you think?"

"So, when things go beyond your expectations, you come to my door yelling and making a scene. Or, if I weren't Pei Fengzhi's wife, you might do something even more extreme and bloody to me, right?"

Ye Ningwan's voice was so calm, like a still pool of water, but when Pei Mingzhu met Ye Ningwan's gaze, her heart suddenly started pounding wildly.

At this moment, Ye Ningwan exuded a very sharp and imposing aura, somewhat like when she was facing Pei Fengzhi.

Pei Mingzhu had prepared so many things to say, but when she met Ye Ningwan, she couldn't utter a single word.

After a long while, Pei Mingzhu finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"But I already paid!!!"

yes.

She paid!

Ye Ningwan didn't perform the surgery on Fang Ruotang for free; she was paid for it!

Ye Ningwan's asking price was not low. That very night, she received 100 million yuan from Pei Mingzhu, pay first and then see the doctor, and did not accept credit.

Ye Ningwan stared at Pei Mingzhu's slightly cloudy eyes with a playful expression.

"Yes, I took your money, and quite a lot of it."

Ye Ningwan's words seemed to give Pei Mingzhu a bit of strength.

She straightened her chest and said coldly to Ye Ningwan.

"Yes, I gave you 100 million, you must cure my daughter! Otherwise..."

Ye Ningwan didn't give Pei Mingzhu a chance to finish speaking.

She placed a finger on Pei Mingzhu's lips, tilted her head slightly, and smiled as she uttered a sentence to Pei Mingzhu.

“Pei Mingzhu…”
