Chapter 459: Miss Qiao Has a Lot of This!
“You guys may not have heard of this before.”
She said and opened the small box. In the brocade box, a white pill could be seen inside. It was the size of a tablet. White in color, it was placed in the center of the box. It was placed neatly and looked familiar.
It was at this moment that the waiter served the dishes.
There were dishes like spicy diced chicken and boiled fish. Plates of red-colored Sichuan cuisine were served one after the other. People who didn’t know better would have assumed they were in the wrong place.
When did the Imperial Mansion’s chef change his profession and start to cook Sichuan cuisine!
Gu San didn’t care about the dishes. He stared at the contents of the brocade box so intently that his eyes looked like they were going to pop out. He then looked at Ye Lan helplessly and asked, “Miss Ye Lan, could you possibly have gotten this from the black market?”
Ye Lan was surprised that he knew so much and raised her eyebrows sharply. Everyone in the Ye family had deep and black eyes, and Ye Lan was no exception. “You even know of the black market?
“Yes, you’re right. This is a pill from the black market.” She admitted this readily.
“This pill wasn’t available on the black market for the past two months. I also had to go through a middleman to get my hands on it. This pill even cost me a price that had 8 figures in it.”
An eight-figure price tag showed how expensive this pill was. Ordinary people may not even earn this amount in their lifetime, but the Ye family and Ye Lan were rich.
Things that cost eight figures wouldn’t be considered overly expensive or too cheap in their eyes.
At least, this showed that she genuinely cared about Qiao Nian.
Ye Wuchuan picked up the pill in the brocade box with an inexplicable expression. His eyes were deep as he turned to look at her. Not being able to discern her mood at a glance, he said, “You didn’t need to spend so much money buying this pill.”
She waved her hand casually and didn’t think much about it. “We earn money just so we can spend it.”
“That’s not what I mean.” Ye Wangchuan put the box down and rubbed the center of his eyebrows. He had a headache.
Ye Lan didn’t understand what he meant. “Then, what do you mean?”
Caught in the middle of their conversation, Gu San tried to explain to her. “Miss Ye Lan, you have misunderstood Master Wang. He’s not saying that you shouldn’t buy Miss Qiao a gift. He only meant that Miss Qiao already has a stock of this pill.”
Ye Lan was confused.
She exhausted her efforts and contacts looking for this pill, and she even paid a huge sum for it, but he actually said that Qiao Nian had a lot of this pill?
“Are you joking with me?”
Gu San scratched his head. He didn’t know how to explain this to her. “I’m speaking the truth, Miss Ye Lan. Miss Qiao has a lot of this pill. I often see her eating it like candy. She keeps a few in a candy bottle that she carries around in her school bag.”
Ye Lan thought that he had misunderstood the situation.
She crossed her arms and said angrily, “Do you know how much this pill costs?”
She ate it like candy?
She still kept a few in a candy bottle?
Who wouldn’t cherish a pill that was so hard to come by? They would have to utilize all their resources to get it and wouldn’t even dream of taking it unless it was a last resort, and yet he was talking about this pill so lightly.
Ye Lan didn’t believe him, and there was nothing Gu San could say to convince her. He turned his head around and asked the man sitting opposite him for some advice. “Master Wang, can I tell her?”
Ye Wangchuan looked at Ye Lan. He covered the box and put his hand on the table, then leaned back and said casually, “It’s okay to tell her. She won’t casually tell this to other people.”
“What are you guys talking about? I don’t understand.” Ye Lan was starting to get annoyed when she saw them talking in riddles in front of her. Unhappy, she interrupted their conversation. “If you have something you want to tell me, tell me directly. Otherwise, please just keep it to yourself. Don’t tell me half of the story and then stop. You will only upset me.”
Gu San felt uncomfortable. Finally finding an opportunity to speak, he looked Ye Lan in the eye and said concisely, “Miss Qiao has a lot of this pill because she’s the one who made it!”
It felt so refreshing to tell a secret!
Otherwise, he would be the only one aware of how amazing Miss Qiao was!
