Qin Sheng's already indifferent expression turned even colder: "Is there a problem? Or is it that the Pei family is so poor that they can't even come up with five million?"
Qin Sheng said "Oh," understandingly adding, "That's true. Infertility is difficult to treat, so we should be careful with our money."
Qin Xuehua: "..."
I was so angry, so angry that I couldn't speak!
Qin Xuehua wanted to speak, but was interrupted by a cold, deep shout.
Pei Yongshou hadn't planned to show himself, but seeing Qin Xuehua being completely led by the nose by Qin Sheng, he was afraid that Qin Xuehua would say something irreversible, so he had no choice but to come out.
He took out a bank card and handed it to the staff member, saying, "The money will be deducted from this account."
Qin Xuehua opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but when she met Pei Yongshou's warning gaze, she could only suppress her resentment and anger, her face turning pale with rage.
The staff member took the bank card but hesitated: "This Qi-nourishing herb..."
Pei Yongshou took a deep breath: "Give it to her."
If he takes this Qi-cultivating herb today, it will confirm that Pei Yu is infertile, which will be a huge blow to both Pei Yu and the Pei family.
He was certainly unwilling to spend five million for nothing, but more than the money, he was unwilling to risk the entire Pei family's downfall because of this!
However, it wasn't exactly a freebie.
Pei Yongshou's eyes flickered as he looked at Qin Sheng: "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Sheng Sheng, don't hold a grudge against your mother. Let's go home with your father."
Indeed, in Pei Yongshou's view, as long as Qin Sheng can be coaxed back into the Pei family, the Peiyuan Grass will still be theirs.
Not to mention that Qin Sheng's own value is definitely over five million.
This transaction is not a loss.
His idea was quite good, it's just a pity...
Qin Sheng raised her eyes, her cool and aloof expression filled with doubt: "When did I say I wanted to go back to the Pei family?"
Pei Yongshou was taken aback: "You're not..."
He could only finish his sentence before he couldn't continue.
Pei Yongshou realized that from beginning to end, Qin Sheng had only asked them to pay, but had never said anything about going back to the Pei family with them.
His face gradually darkened: "Qin Sheng, you'd better think this through."
"She doesn't need to think about it." A voice sounded from behind Qin Sheng. Fu Jingheng stood up, his tall figure enveloping Qin Sheng in his shadow.
He reached out and ruffled the little girl's hair, smiling as he said, "My daughter can do whatever she wants without having to think about anything."
Qin Sheng subconsciously turned around to look.
A smile graced the man's naturally elegant face, softening his aloof features. He was looking at her with a warmth, a tenderness, and a hint of indulgence that even he himself was unaware of.
Qin Sheng's fingertips twitched, and she looked away.
Fu Jingheng's smile deepened, but it vanished the moment he looked at Pei Yongshou.
"But Patriarch Pei," Fu Jingheng looked down at Pei Yongshou and scoffed, "if I remember correctly, it was you and your wife who personally drove Sheng Sheng out of the Pei family, and now you're calling her 'Mom and Dad' all the time. What does that mean?"
"Regret it?" His expression grew colder. "Too late."
The man's aura was so overwhelming that just standing in front of him made Pei Yongshou feel cold in his hands and feet.
But in front of so many powerful and influential people in Ancheng, he was ultimately unwilling to lose face, so he could only force himself to say, "Whether it's late or not is not up to you. No matter who you are, this is a family matter of the Pei family, and it is not your place to interfere."
Fu Jingheng chuckled softly and looked at Qin Sheng: "Is my brother an outsider?"
Qin Sheng glanced at him and pursed her lips: "My wife."
Fu Jingheng let out a low chuckle and glanced at Pei Yongshou: "Did you hear that?"
Pei Yongshou heard it, of course, and his face turned extremely ugly.
As more and more people gathered around him, all watching him with expressions of amusement, Pei Yongshou finally couldn't take it anymore.
He abruptly flung his hand away: "Qin Sheng, you'd better watch yourself!"
After saying that, he grabbed Qin Xuehua and left.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Fu Jingheng took the Qi-Nourishing Grass from Qin Sheng's hand with one hand and patted the little girl's shoulder with the other: "Come on, brother will treat you to a meal."
After walking a few steps, a girl's clear, cool voice rang out, a little low but very clear: "Thank you."
Qin Sheng said.
Fu Jingheng paused, turning his head to look at her.
Suddenly she smiled and said, "No need."
It really isn't necessary.
After all, what he owed her was a life.
What do these things even amount to?
*
There's no way we're going to eat; it's only a little past two o'clock. We'd rather have some snacks.
Qin Sheng had eaten a lot for lunch and also drank a cup of milk tea, so she didn't have much of an appetite. She only packed two pieces of red velvet cake to go.
Having obtained the Peiyuan Grass, the most urgent matter now was healing his injuries, so Qin Sheng went straight to the pharmacy as soon as he got home.
"Hey, what happened while I was gone? I feel like Sheng Sheng's attitude towards you is a little different." Xie Fang poked Fu Jingheng, who was eating cake with a spoon, with a face full of doubt.
Fu Jingheng said "Oh," and then said, "It's nothing, it's just that she finally recognized me."
Xie Fang was shocked: "What?! You two knew each other before?!"
Fu Jingheng: "Yes, three hundred years ago when I first came to Earth, I was saved by her after a near-death experience. I used my family heirloom as proof to promise to protect her for life, but fate played a cruel trick on us and we were separated along the way."
Fu Jingheng chuckled softly, "It's alright, we've met again."
Xie Fang: "...Are you putting on an opera? Should we add 'destined fate' to the equation?"
Fu Jingheng casually tossed the half-eaten cake box into the trash can and glanced at him, saying, "Is that even a question?"
