Chapter 506: Chapter 506 Exchange Conditions - Illness (7)_1

She thought she would open her eyes to Xia Zheng’s handsome and concerned face, but instead, it was Lin Yuan’s smirking, mocking visage!

"Why is it you!" Su Qiuyu could no longer pretend, lifting her eyes to scan the room, only to discover that aside from Lin Yuan and Yaner, there was no one else present.

Lin Yuan watched, amused, as Su Qiuyu transitioned from feigning sleep to waking. In fact, Yaner had wanted to alert Su Qiuyu as soon as Lin Yuan entered, but Lin Yuan had stopped her. Otherwise, Lin Yuan wouldn’t have had the opportunity to witness Su Qiuyu’s ravishing sleeping pose, despite her apparent illness.

Honestly, Su Qiuyu was indeed a beauty, more gorgeous than any other woman Lin Yuan had seen before. However, Su Qiuyu was nothing more than a beauty, always capturing others’ attention with her frailty, not realizing that too much of such attention could also wear people out.

"It seems that the person Miss Su was waiting for wasn’t me, was it?" Lin Yuan’s smile was harmless, yet to Su Qiuyu, it carried a touch of mockery and disdain.

It was this very nonchalant smile that pricked at Su Qiuyu’s pride. Her act of pretending to sleep had been seen by this wretched girl; surely, she must be laughing at her inside, definitely!

Yaner hid to the side, minimizing her presence as much as possible to avoid the spreading conflict. Where was her arrogance and domineering demeanor from the day before? Upon realizing that Lin Yuan, a mere village girl, was even a match for their young mistress, Yaner had smartly curtailed her sharpness.

But her silence did not mean Su Qiuyu would forget her.

"Yaner!"

Yaner’s body involuntarily flinched.

"I sent you to fetch Brother Zheng, so why did you bring this wretched girl to me?" Su Qiuyu had been infuriated beyond pretense by Lin Yuan after just one day. Indeed, she was a white lotus in front of others but a man-eater behind their backs.

Yaner hurried forward on trembling legs, shot Lin Yuan a glance, then timidly said, "To, to answer the young mistress, Young Master Xia had to leave on urgent matters; he didn’t even enter Fuman Building’s door. However, Young Master Xia is still very concerned about your illness; he personally instructed Shopkeeper Liu to invite the best doctor from Zhuma Town to see to your condition."

Su Qiuyu was already feverish, her head spinning terribly, and after scolding Yaner, it felt even worse, causing her arm to give way, and she collapsed onto the pillow.

Seeing her like this, Lin Yuan knew that Su Qiuyu was genuinely ill and had no interest in quarreling any longer. She gave a smile, stood up, and prepared to leave: "Since Miss Su is so weak, I won’t disturb you any further. Please take care of yourself, Miss Su. If you crave something or need anything, just tell Yaner to inform Shopkeeper Liu; I will surely fulfill your requests."

Su Qiuyu snorted coldly, "Stop pretending to be a good person."

Lin Yuan curled her lips in a smile, not bothering with her response; she had said her piece, and if it wasn’t appreciated, so be it.

Su Qiuyu couldn’t wait for her to leave and added another comment, "Since that’s the case, let Brother Zheng take care of me. What, you can’t do it? Or can’t bear to let him go? Haha, just a moment ago you said to tell you what I need and you would satisfy it. Now that I bring it up, you fall silent. Lin Yuan, you truly are a hypocrite!"

Berated like that, Lin Yuan didn’t get angry but laughed instead, looking down on her pale yet stubborn face, "Miss Su, do you really think that Xia Zheng is the kind of person to be manipulated by others? Let alone you and me, no one could probably make him obey."

Xia Zheng was indeed that kind of person, or he wouldn’t have gone behind his father’s back to open a tavern in such a distant place.

Su Qiuyu was left speechless by Lin Yuan. If Xia Zheng were someone easily manipulated by others, she wouldn’t have to go through such hardships, even traveling to Zhuma Town to find him.
