Chapter 124: Lin Meng happily left the Ye Family, while Fang Siyao returned home feeling wronged

Fang Siyao left, Ye Chenjing didn't care at all, and the old master Ye likewise didn't notice; only after everyone had been gone for a long time did he realize someone was missing.

Lin Meng, I won't say more about thanks, old man that I am, but one thing is one thing—Jade Marrow Pills are too precious. I don't care what deal you have with Ye Chenjing, but I can't take these three newly given Jade Marrow Pills for free.

Saying that, the old master Ye domineeringly pulled out a bank card.

This is thirty million, no password; the money for the Jade Marrow Pills cannot be shorted to you. Listen, put the card away.

Happiness came too suddenly; Lin Meng had just been fed to full by the old master Ye, and now she was being force-fed money—looking at the situation, not taking it would displease the old man.

Lin Meng reached out her hand toward the bank card, but in her peripheral vision she was looking at Ye Chenjing beside her.

These three Jade Marrow Pills were actually counted as part of the house-buying money; the hidden rule only allowed her to sell one for ten million.

These three are worth thirty million, no problem; even if added to the money for buying the villa, that villa only cost her eighty million, less than a hundred million.

So after all the calculations, she is definitely the one who made a big profit.

If she now takes this thirty million, wouldn't people think she's too greedy for money?

Ye Chenjing saw it in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Seeing Lin Meng's guilty look, yet clearly wanting to take the money, that contradictory expression made Ye Chenjing laugh.

"Take it, since it's grandfather's wish, I certainly won't object."

Having gained an advantage, Lin Meng naturally didn't dare to grin openly after getting the bank card; she only gave a faint smile and nodded to Ye Chenjing and the old master Ye.

This family is indeed generous to her; she'll take this advantage for now, and when the time is ripe she'll give the old master a Longevity Pill…

Lin Meng didn't stay long at the Ye Family; when leaving, the old master Ye insisted that she take all the good food and drink.

Thus on this trip, Lin Meng not only earned thirty million, but also took food and drink when she left.

At this moment, Lin Meng also experienced a bit of the grandfather-grandson affection found online.

When a granddaughter visits an elder, the senior always treats the granddaughter like a child; when leaving, they give money and stuff all the good things from the house into her hands, fearing she'll have no money to spend outside and won't eat well.

Although Lin Meng knows that the old master Ye's warm and kind treatment of her is partly because of the pills in her hand, and those extremely precious pills.

As the saying goes, if one is self-reliant, everyone around is good.

But Lin Meng can feel that the old master Ye's care and kindness toward her are also sincere.

No one can be good to you for no reason; they always want something in return, and that's understandable.

To be like the old master Ye—at his age, with his background and wealth, still able to show genuine feelings—is already quite good.

Lin Meng happily left the Ye Family, while Fang Siyao returned home feeling wronged.

As soon as she got home, she headed straight for the grandmother's study.

Granny Fang Fang was studying the medicinal materials she had just bought; hearing her granddaughter's footsteps, she set down what she was doing and looked up.

"Grandma, your granddaughter has truly suffered a great injustice today; you must decide for me."

Fang Fang's heart gave a jolt, and she hurriedly asked.

"What happened? Were you being made things difficult by the Ye Family?"

Fang Fang's face immediately darkened; her Fang Family, after all, is a lineage of traditional Chinese medicine, and she herself is a superb divine doctor—when has it ever been the Ye Family's turn to bully her?

Fang Fang shook her head, saying, "The one making things difficult for me is not someone from the Ye Family, but a woman named Lin Meng."

Upon hearing that, Fang Fang relaxed a bit and gestured for Fang Siyao to continue.

In Fang Siyao's embellished description, Lin Meng became a young woman who flaunts herself to win favor, relying on a pretty face and some unknown base means, making the old master Ye laugh heartily; even the Ye Family's steady heir came to admire her all the more.

The more she listened, the tighter Fang Fang's brows furrowed.

She somewhat understands her granddaughter's nature—she can't tolerate injustice—so her words are surely mixed with personal resentment and will be exaggerated.

But even so, Fang Fang still finds this matter unbelievable.

"You mean that young woman didn't come empty-handed, but also received a warm welcome from the entire Ye Family?"

Fang Fang interrupted Fang Siyao's incessant chatter; Fang Siyao nodded, increasingly suspecting that Lin Meng was suspicious.

"Grandma, quickly investigate this person; don't you find this suspicious? Given the Ye Family's background, there's no reason to be so enthusiastic about a woman who's nothing."

"Who is this Lin Meng? I've never even heard of her; she certainly isn't from a prominent family."

Fang Fang fell into thought, not hastily agreeing with her granddaughter's words, but suddenly asked:

"What about the Qi-tonifying Pills I asked you to pass on? How did Ye Xiangrong react after receiving them?"

Speaking of the pills, Fang Siyao then remembered and hurriedly reported.

"Grandma, Uncle Fang took your pills and didn't value them at all, casually tossing them to the steward; moreover, could your information be wrong? I see he looks healthy, full of vigor, even more spirited than you, and he has no interest in our family's Qi-tonifying Pills."

As the words fell, Fang Siyao couldn't help but purse her lips, carrying a hint of blame.

"I've been saying it: the Ye Family are merchants; they should give a more practical greeting gift, but they simply don't understand how powerful our family's Qi-tonifying Pills are."

At this moment, Fang Fang's face had become extremely unsightly.

"This Ye Xiangrong, even when young he didn't know good from bad, and now old he's still the same deadbeat!"

"It seems she needs to find time to meet him in person."

"All right, Siyao, this time I've wronged you; you may go first. That woman named Lin Meng—I'll have someone investigate her thoroughly."

——

Lin Meng returned to the island villa, not rushing to cultivate, but instead dividing some of the delicious dishes the old master Ye had let her take away and storing them in two spaces.

The chef the old master Ye hired had superb skills; the dishes had a unique flavor, she couldn't finish them alone, so she gave some to Ye Heng and Ye Fan to try as well.

On Ye Fan's side there was naturally no news, but Ye Heng soon received Lin Meng's food delivery, and thanks came.

"Lin Meng, you've brought me delicious food again; I feel a bit embarrassed."

Lin Meng smiled and said:

"Don't be polite; the chef's skills are good, I just thought to bring some for you to try as well."

"By the way, you said last time you wanted to go explore a dangerous area—how are the preparations going?"

Ye Heng hurriedly reported.

I'm about to reach the Tenth Special Zone; after buying some weapons and life-saving gear here, I plan to take a few team members and set off immediately to meet up with Song Zhi's squad.

Lin Meng nodded, gave a few instructions, then drove off.

Speaking of life-saving gear, Lin Meng thought she should prepare some medical supplies for Ye Heng and the others.

In the Wasteland World, medicine is scarce; if you get injured or infected and don't receive timely treatment, it could very well be fatal.

She can't provide any weapons right now, but providing some medical supplies is no problem.
