Chapter 3

I looked at Ruan Mei'er meaningfully.

The people around also glanced over, making the intention all too clear.

I've made my move, what about her?

Ruan Mei'er bit her lip tightly, then clung onto Lu Siting's arm and began to act coquettishly.

"Brother Lu, look at your fiancée! How can she bully me like this?"

Her gaze towards Lu Siting was practically dripping with sweetness.

And that idiot Lu Siting was naturally easily manipulated, glaring at me angrily with widened eyes.

"Su Qianxia, you must really need these medicinal herbs, right?"

"If you can't buy them back, who knows how many people's treatments will be delayed?"

He looked at me with a face full of confidence.

"So you'd better listen to me and obediently kneel and apologize, or else the patients you promised to help won't be saved, and you'll be in big trouble!"

Lu Siting's face was full of smugness.

Ruan Mei'er wore the same expression.

I glanced at these two fools.

"Heh, what a pair of scum."

"You know these herbs are life-saving, yet you deliberately drive up the price?"

I looked at them coldly.

Lu Siting sneered disdainfully, then squeezed Ruan Mei'er's hand and kissed it.

"What do their lives have to do with me? I only care about whether my Mei'er is in a good mood!"

His lecherous expression truly made me nauseous.

"I never noticed how greasy you are before, but..."

I swallowed my disgust and continued to ask him, "What if the sick people were your family?"

Lu Siting's expression changed.

But Ruan Mei'er coquettishly scolded me.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Lu's family is very healthy!"

"Besides, only brainless primitives would choose your kind of Chinese medicine. Who serious would consult a traditional Chinese doctor?"

She rolled her eyes, and her words dripped with disdain for Chinese medicine.

She seemed to forget that this place is a Chinese herbal medicine market!

The people around were somewhat displeased.

Yet Ruan Mei'er continued to flaunt her intelligence: "Families like our Brother Lu's, from the upper class, would never seek your Chinese medicine treatment, so stop dreaming!"

Only then did Lu Siting's expression improve a little.

I wondered if he just remembered his father's recent illness.

"Enough with the nonsense, the current price is 1.2 billion. If you dare, keep bidding!"

"Let's see if I let you take away a single herb today!"

Lu Siting regained his previous arrogance.

Looking at him, my gaze was tinged with pity.

I hoped he would remember the stupid things he said to Ruan Mei'er when his father came looking for him later!

"Double it."

I glanced at the trading house owner.

The owner's eyes began to sparkle.

This kind of profitable deal was probably the first he'd encountered in his life.

"The price has now reached 2.4 billion!"

"Let's see how Young Master Lu will respond?"

The owner looked excitedly at Lu Siting.

Not only him, but almost the entire audience focused their attention there.

Lu Siting stood with his mouth open.

He seemed to not have expected me to continue bidding.

But he only hesitated for a moment before waving his hand: "It's just tens of billions, I bid 5 billion, how will you counter this?"

Lu Siting's face was full of arrogance.

At this point, both the trading house owner and the crowd nearly went insane.

"Damn, no wonder he doesn't value others' lives. If I had as much money as he does, I'd be even worse!"

"Young Master Lu is amazing! Such damn courage!"

Enjoying everyone's flattery, Lu Siting's grin nearly reached his ears.

Ruan Mei'er clapped her hands, giving Lu Siting a series of kisses on the face.

"Brother Lu is so great, spending 5 billion for my face!"

"As long as Mei'er is happy..."

The two fools started kissing again in public.

While everyone was still immersed in the previous bidding frenzy, I crisply and decisively called out:

"Continue doubling!"
