Chapter 42: Chapter 42 What does it have to do with you, Miss Su?_1

"Apologize? No need, let’s go."

Ning Fan shook his head and started to walk out. He was eager to return and try whether consuming the Wild Ginseng would enable him to break through to the third level of Qi Refinement.

"Let’s go, Qing Cheng, look, Ning Fan said there’s no need for you to apologize, hehe."

Xu Yourong smiled and pulled Su Qingcheng along, chasing after him.

"How could he suddenly have ten million? Yourong, he must be using your name to swindle and deceive out there. Who knows where he swindled that money from!"

Once out of the auction house, Su Qingcheng complained resentfully.

"Miss Su."

Walking ahead, Ning Fan suddenly stopped, turned around with a calm expression, and said, "Miss Su, may I ask when have I ever swindled or deceived anyone? Have you seen it with your own eyes? Or heard about it with your own ears? Or has someone I supposedly deceived told you about it? If none of these are true, on what basis do you accuse me of swindling and deceiving?"

"You... then you tell me, how could you suddenly have ten million when you were penniless just a few days ago? Where did this money come from?" Su Qingcheng demanded coldly.

Ning Fan shook his head, replying indifferently, "Miss Su, if it were before, I might have explained it to you, but now, I don’t want to explain anything to you."

"Heh, it’s because you can’t explain, can you?" Su Qingcheng mocked.

"You’re mistaken. The reason I don’t want to explain is that what you think of me, how you judge me, has nothing to do with me! Although I, Ning Fan, am not a significant figure, what does it have to do with you, Miss Su, how I live my life and conduct my affairs?" Ning Fan countered without any politeness.

"You!"

Su Qingcheng was so infuriated that her chest heaved violently.

"Alright, alright, Qing Cheng, Ning Fan, stop it. You two, always like foes who argue whenever you meet. Please stop arguing, for my sake..."

Xu Yourong quickly stepped between them, separating them.

While the three were speaking, the charming woman who had been competing with Ning Fan during the bidding in the auction house had, unbeknownst to them, approached.

"Miss Xu, hello, my name is Xu Yan." The charming woman introduced herself.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" Xu Yourong asked, puzzled.

"Miss Xu, may I please ask you for a favor? That is... could you let me have the Century Ginseng you just won at the auction?" Xu Yan pleaded.

Xu Yan had recognized Xu Yourong as the young lady of the Xu Family and thought that the person who spent ten million on the Century Ginseng must be Xu Yourong. As for Ning Fan, she presumed he was merely following Xu Yourong’s orders.

"You might be mistaken. The person who bought the Century Ginseng was not me, but him, my boyfriend Ning Fan."

Xu Yourong corrected her with a slight smile.

While speaking, she emphasized the word ’boyfriend’.

"Ah?"

Xu Yan was momentarily stunned before hurriedly turning to Ning Fan, with a tone filled with both pleading and hope, "Mr. Ning, I really need that Century Ginseng, could you please be kind and let me have it?"

"I’m sorry, but I also need this Century Ginseng." Ning Fan shook his head.

"Mr. Ning, I beg you, you bought that Century Ginseng for ten million, I can offer you twenty million! I don’t have that much money on me right now, but I can give you eight million first, and the rest later, okay? If you’re worried, I can write you an IOU. If I don’t pay back, you can do whatever you want with me!"

Xu Yan’s voice was demure and filled with a pitiful plea, which would undoubtedly elicit sympathy, making most men find it hard to refuse her request.

But Ning Fan remained unmoved, "Sorry, I can’t let you have this Century Ginseng."

"Mr. Ning, please, I need this Century Ginseng to treat my family member. If you give me the ginseng, I’ll agree to any conditions! I... I’m kneeling before you!"

Xu Yan, on the brink of tears, knelt in front of Ning Fan.

"Please stand up. If your family member is ill, I might be able to help treat them, but I’m truly sorry, I really can’t let you have this Century Ginseng."

Ning Fan remained calm and shook his head.

The Century Ginseng was too important to him for him to simply give it up based on just a few words from this Xu Yan.

"Miss Xu, my boyfriend’s medical skills are indeed not bad, and if your family member is suffering from some difficult illness, you might consider having my boyfriend take a look." Xu Yourong suggested too.

"I understand... Sorry for intruding..."

Xu Yan got up dejectedly, obviously taking Ning Fan and Xu Yourong’s words as an excuse. She gave a bitter smile and walked away.

"This Xu Yan, why does that name sound familiar to me..."

Watching Xu Yan’s retreating figure, Ning Fan mused to himself.

"Heh, you must be captivated by this woman right? No wonder, she’s so charming and seems so pitiable. Didn’t she say it? As long as you’re willing to help her, she’ll agree to anything! Isn’t that the type you men like the most? If not for Yourong and me here today, I bet you definitely wouldn’t let this Xu Yan go, would you?"

Su Qingcheng sneered and mocked from the side.

"No, Qing Cheng, I also feel like I’ve heard the name Xu Yan somewhere before..."

Xu Yourong also frowned in confusion.

Moments later, she suddenly slapped her forehead as realization struck her, "I remember now! I heard it from Qiu Li who was gossiping with me before. She mentioned that real estate tycoon Li Wanshan kept a canary named Xu Yan!"
