Chapter 47: Closed Door
“Nan Yue Ran? What are you doing here?”
At the entrance of Longwan Villa No. 1, Nan Xuan Fei stepped out of a pink Porsche 911, a look of surprise on her face as she saw Nan Yue Ran standing at the door as well.
As if realizing something, Nan Xuan Fei suddenly smiled, then looked at Nan Yue Ran with a teasing expression.
“Big sister, didn’t you say you wouldn’t rely on the Yang family? Why are you here now?”
“If I can come here, it’s likely that you asked Yang Xiao Tian, right?”
“Who would have thought that while you act one way in front of us, you are another way behind our backs!”
Nan Yue Ran frowned as she looked at Nan Xuan Fei.
“Why would I ask Yang Xiao Tian? My presence here has nothing to do with him!”
“Nothing to do with him?”
Nan Xuan Fei chuckled, grabbing her beige Chanel bag from the passenger seat and slinging it over her shoulder, her eyes gleaming with mockery.
“You came here for the Xiao family, didn’t you?”
“Although the Xiao family says they will arrive in Lintai in a couple of days, those in the know are aware that they will actually come today.”
“And who knows this news besides the Three Giants of Lintai?”
“Even I got this information from the Yang family. So quit pretending, big sister!”
“You say you don’t rely on Young Master Yang, but in reality, you still sought him out! Since that’s the case, why act all pure and innocent in front of us? It’s really disgusting!”
Nan Yue Ran’s expression turned cold at her words.
“This is what Bai Chen told me. Don’t maliciously guess about others!”
“Bai Chen?”
Nan Xuan Fei froze at the mention of Bai Chen’s name, then began to laugh as if she had heard a great joke.
“What can that country bumpkin do? How could he know such secret news?”
“Big sister, what kind of ‘mind spell’ has that country bumpkin cast on you to make you so infatuated with him?”
“What exactly does Young Master Yang lack compared to him?”
Nan Yue Ran kept a cold expression and ignored Nan Xuan Fei.
She knew that no matter what she said, it would not change Nan Xuan Fei’s view of Bai Chen, so she chose to remain silent.
What she wanted was to prove herself right with facts!
Seeing this, Nan Xuan Fei snorted coldly and walked towards the door of the villa.
“Big sister, since you are here today, let’s compete fairly. When we talk to the Xiao family about cooperation, let’s see who succeeds based on our own skills!”
Nan Yue Ran stepped forward, not willing to back down, as she had the same intention.
As Nan Xuan Fei knocked three times on the door, it quickly swung open.
A somewhat plump man with an astute appearance opened the door.
“Who are you two?”
Xiao Chang Yuan looked at the two people in front of him with some confusion.
Nan Xuan Fei spoke first, her attitude very humble.
“Hello, I am Nan Xuan Fei from the Nan family! I came today to discuss the matter concerning the Zijin Garden…”
Before Nan Xuan Fei could finish her sentence, Xiao Chang Yuan interrupted her and turned to Nan Yue Ran.
“And you?”
Nan Yue Ran remained calm and collected.
“I am Nan Yue Ran from the Nan family. I came for the same reason, but I also want to see the patients of the Xiao family.”
Since Nan Xuan Fei had spoken first, repeating the same words would surely put her at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Nan Yue Ran thought of a different approach and mentioned the Xiao family’s patients.
Sure enough, upon hearing Nan Yue Ran’s words, Xiao Chang Yuan’s eyes lit up as he spoke to her:
“Are you a doctor here to treat the patients?”
Nan Yue Ran shook her head, prompting a look of disappointment to appear on Xiao Chang Yuan’s face.
“Then did you find a doctor who can treat the patients?”
Nan Yue Ran felt a bit awkward, and Nan Xuan Fei, sensing the shift, quickly interjected.
“She can’t find anyone! She doesn’t even know a single skilled doctor!”
Xiao Chang Yuan’s expression instantly turned cold at her words.
“If you are not here to treat the patients, then I’m afraid I cannot host you. Please return!”
“Moreover, since you are from the same family, just one of you can come next time! Wait until my Family Head arrives in a few days to discuss the Zijin Garden project!”
Hearing this, both Nan Xuan Fei and Nan Yue Ran’s expressions changed.
Nan Xuan Fei quickly stepped forward, grabbing Xiao Chang Yuan’s hand and showing a charming smile.
“Brother, may I ask your surname?”
Xiao Chang Yuan looked at Nan Xuan Fei, and a glint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
“My name is Xiao Chang Yuan. Don’t think you can win me over; I am just a butler!”
Nan Xuan Fei smiled upon hearing this, her demeanor dazzling as she leaned a little closer to Xiao Chang Yuan.
A gold bracelet was naturally slipped into Xiao Chang Yuan’s hand.
“Brother Chang Yuan, you’re being too formal. I feel like we are old friends at first sight, so let’s make some exceptions today!”
Xiao Chang Yuan weighed the gold bracelet in his hand and effortlessly tucked it into his pocket while smiling at Nan Xuan Fei.
“What you say is flattering, but I’m telling the truth. Today, it’s just me and my young lady here in Lintai. She is unwell, and I am not responsible for the Zijin Garden project you mentioned.”
“If you want to negotiate, you’ll have to wait a couple of days! I have no reason to lie to you.”
Upon hearing Xiao Chang Yuan’s words, Nan Xuan Fei felt a sinking feeling in her heart, but she maintained her smile.
When she noticed that the gold bracelet had already been taken by Xiao Chang Yuan, she couldn’t help but silently scold him for being cunning.
“I see how it is.”
“Of course, if you can invite a skilled doctor to treat my young lady, then you can certainly come in. If they can cure her, my Family Head has already stated that whoever can cure her, we, the Xiao family, will cooperate unconditionally!”
Upon hearing this, Nan Xuan Fei frowned. She was well aware of this situation and had been searching for a skilled doctor for the past few days, hoping to find a shortcut.
But she hadn’t even seen a hint of a skilled doctor!
This was also why the Yang family dared to tell her that the Xiao family would arrive in Lintai today.
They knew that without a skilled doctor, Nan Xuan Fei wouldn’t even be allowed through the main door.
So they had long abandoned that route and prepared to compete in the bidding meeting in a few days instead.
Seeing that Nan Xuan Fei and Nan Yue Ran had nothing more to add, Xiao Chang Yuan closed the door.
As the door shut tightly in front of her, Nan Xuan Fei stomped her foot in frustration.
Not only was there no progress in her discussion with the Xiao family today, but she also lost a gold bracelet.
Looking at Nan Yue Ran beside her, Nan Xuan Fei snorted coldly and then turned to leave.
Nan Yue Ran also returned home feeling unenthusiastic.
When she saw Bai Chen, she immediately began to complain.
“Today was really unlucky! I finally got the news but ended up locked out. Sigh! Where can I find a skilled doctor? Bai Chen, you know medicine, why don’t you give it a try?”
Upon hearing Nan Yue Ran’s words, Bai Chen smiled gently.
“Sure! Just wait for the good news! I’ll definitely make sure the Xiao family talks to you about the Zijin Garden project!”
Nan Yue Ran laughed, thinking Bai Chen was just trying to cheer her up.
Meanwhile, the Xiao family began inquiring about skilled doctors among the powerful families in Lintai.
After some unsuccessful inquiries, the Su family, who controlled Lintai, provided the Xiao family with a message.
The owner of a medicinal meal shop near Lintai Kindergarten might be able to treat the Xiao family’s patients.
