Chapter 458 - 150: The Cunning and Vicious Old Hag
Seeing that Xu Xingguang decisively decided to attend the Hundred Medicines Conference, Ye Mingluo no longer hesitated. He immediately stood up and said, "Ye Mingluo will also attend the Hundred Medicines Conference on time."
Then a few others also expressed their intentions on the spot, and the woman named Yin Su agreed to participate in the competition as well.
Old Madam Ying nodded repeatedly, saying, "I am grateful for all of you for giving it your attention. The Hundred Medicines Conference is honored to have your participation. It’s getting late, everyone should go back to rest now. This old woman will not disturb your rest any longer."
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and walked downstairs.
Xu Xingguang deliberately slowed down a few steps, waiting for Yin Su to get up, and then went downstairs with Yin Su. Ye Mingluo also followed beside Xu Xingguang.
Seeing that Xu Xingguang intended to talk to Yin Su, Ye Mingluo, who was her apprentice, came in handy. He took the initiative to introduce Yin Su to Xu Xingguang, "Master, this is Miss Yin. She is a friend I just made. She’s a psychiatrist and a great beauty. Let’s be friends."
Xu Xingguang secretly praised Ye Mingluo for his tact and turned to Yin Su with a smile, "Miss Yin, we met in West Continent City over a month ago, do you remember me?"
Yin Su nodded and said, "You are You Jiaoyang’s sister."
"Yes, the last time we met, there were some unpleasant moments that troubled you. I apologize to you on behalf of my beloved."
Yin Su suddenly asked Xu Xingguang, "Are you so confident that you can cure Captain Huo’s illness?"
Just as Xu Xingguang was about to answer, she heard Yin Su continue, "If you can’t cure his illness, and you watch your loved one die before your eyes, won’t it be very painful?"
After thinking about it seriously, Xu Xingguang replied, "How could someone not feel pain for the person they truly like? But we can’t avoid love because of that reason. I feel that if you like someone, you should confess and let them know your feelings. Even if they can’t walk with you to the end, at least there will be no regrets."
"Miss Yin, don’t you think so?"
Yin Su pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said after a pause, "Miss Xu, you have a broad-mindedness."
"I’ve heard about Miss Xu’s experiences." Yin Su referred to the harm Jiang Heng had caused Xu Xingguang, "Being so cruelly hurt by the one you love yet still able to bravely and openly embrace love again shows a magnanimous mindset not everyone can have."
"No wonder you’re called Lord Medicine Farmer Star."
Yin Su took out her phone and waved it at Xu Xingguang, "Miss Xu, would you mind adding me on WeChat?"
Ye Mingluo nodded repeatedly beside them and added, "Just add each other on WeChat. Even if you’re not colleagues, you two are like family."
Both Xu Xingguang and Yin Su were momentarily taken aback by Ye Mingluo’s "like family" comment.
After realizing it, Xu Xingguang laughed. "My brother will need to rely on you, Miss Yin." Xu Xingguang opened her WeChat QR code for Yin Su to scan.
Yin Su scanned the QR code, her fingers quickly typing on the screen as she said without lifting her eyes, "My relationship with him is mutually beneficial, Miss Xu, don’t take it seriously."
Raising her eyebrows, Xu Xingguang playfully asked, "So, what exactly is your relationship?"
Ye Mingluo stood behind Xu Xingguang with a curious expression as well.
In front of them, Yin Su coldly and straightforwardly said, "Bed partners."
Oh dear!
Ye Mingluo couldn’t help but pinch Xu Xingguang’s arm.
As a woman who was used to big events, Xu Xingguang wasn’t shocked to learn about their relationship. She said, "That’s still quite an intimate relationship."
Nodding slightly, Yin Su said, "I’m on a red-eye flight and have to go now. Miss Xu, Mr. Ye, until we meet again."
"See you at the Hundred Medicines Conference," Xu Xingguang said.
After a pause, Yin Su corrected herself, "See you at the Hundred Medicines Conference."
Yin Su was the first to go downstairs, and Xu Xingguang saw You Jiaoyang standing in the hallway at the end of the corridor, holding Ying Family’s gift bag, waiting for Yin Su.
After seeing those two leave, Ye Mingluo then said to Xu Xingguang, "Master, I think Miss Yin and your brother aren’t in just a simple bed partner relationship."
"So what kind of relationship is it?"
A word slipped out of Ye Mingluo’s mouth, "Contract."
Xu Xingguang gave Ye Mingluo a playful glance and said, "Doctor Ye, you sure know a lot, even about contracts."
Ye Mingluo’s cheeks turned red.
With some stubble, his cheeks turning red were especially noticeable.
Xu Xingguang watched with interest for a while before taking him to meet up with Huo Wen’an and others.
The Ying Family was generous, preparing a gift box for everyone who came to the birthday banquet. Cheng Yue asked Zheng Lie to help carry the others’ gift boxes, while she opened her own and found a set of aromatherapy boxes inside.
