Chapter 263 - 262: Arrogant Youngster
The Gao Family had never imagined things would turn out this way. They thought that if the other party refused to let them take the person away, they would simply cause a scene, after all, she was their own kin — how could anyone refuse to let them take her back?
But they had not anticipated that the medicine would cost silver. Hadn’t they already provided the silver?
"This, hasn’t this already been paid?" Mrs. Gao asked, pointing to her granddaughter’s face.
Qin Liuxi said, "This ointment was sold at half price as a kindness. It can’t be considered a gift. Oh, how much silver did you give just now?"
Her latter words were directed at Ms. Gao.
Ms. Gao’s face was burning with shame as she replied, "Twenty-nine wen."
Not even half a coin of silver, let alone the thousand taels per ointment as claimed.
Even so, Mrs. Gao felt extremely pained and, without thinking, scolded, "Have you gone mad? Daring to claim you spent twenty-nine wen..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt something was amiss and glanced over at Qin Liuxi and the others, who appeared to be smiling but not quite. Her old face flushed with heat.
But she had a thick skin and said with a brazen smile, "I heard you help out of fairness whenever you witness injustice and treated my granddaughter’s wounds. Dear noble one, seeing it through to the end would be good. Just gift us the ointment; the Bodhisattva will bless you."
Manager Ye couldn’t help but laugh out of anger, "A medicine worth tens of thousands of taels to be given to you just like that, are you so shameless to even dare to suggest it?"
