After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 111: Fixed Price, Three Million
Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Fixed Price, Three Million
Even though Yu Zhenzhen did not entertain the thought of thanking Shi Yaoguang, she couldn’t help but want to know if her face had indeed healed.
Could it be that Shi Yaoguang really had a way to fix her secondary injury, and could it change the outcome of her disfigurement?
Thinking of this possibility, she became feverish with excitement.
Shi Yaoguang saw through her thoughts and said bluntly, "If you want the wound on your face to heal, it’s not impossible."
Yu Zhenzhen couldn’t wait to ask, "What do you want in exchange?"
"My ointment is priceless; no amount of money can buy it, but... I’ve just cut ties with the Shi Family and need funds. If you can offer a price that satisfies me, I might consider selling it to you."
Yu Zhenzhen borrowed a mirror from someone to take a good look at her face, making sure her wound had truly healed before she hesitantly asked, "How much do you want?"
"It depends on how much you can give," he replied.
Yu Zhenzhen thought for a moment and threw out a number, "Ten thousand!"
Shi Yaoguang clicked his tongue lightly, "Ten thousand? I bet a million in the forums. Ten thousand, are you that cheap?"
Yu Zhenzhen: "..."
Although she wanted to curse back, for her face, she had to hold back for now.
After thinking it over, she made another offer, "Five hundred thousand!"
Shi Yaoguang stared at her for a while and then came to a conclusion, "So... Miss Yu is truly undervalued, isn’t she?"
Yu Zhenzhen: "..."
As she watched Shi Yaoguang’s mocking expression, her disdain for her grew even more, "How much do you really want?"
Hearing her impatient tone, Shi Yaoguang didn’t get angry but said indifferently, "Not much, just casually throw in three million and it will do."
"Three million?! Why don’t you just rob someone!" Yu Zhenzhen’s voice shot up suddenly, her eyes practically spitting fire as she looked at Shi Yaoguang.
Her allowance and New Year’s money added up to just over three million.
Shi Yaoguang asking for three million right off the bat, what was the difference from a robbery?
Shi Yaoguang calmly met her gaze, "I’ve stated my price, if you find it unreasonable, you can refuse."
The ointment Shi Yaoguang had just applied indeed had a particularly good effect.
Thus, Yu Zhenzhen became somewhat hesitant.
Two million for cosmetic surgery might not completely restore her face.
If Shi Yaoguang’s ointment could do it, then... spending three million to get her face back, didn’t seem too unreasonable, did it?
Just as Yu Zhenzhen was considering the offer, Shi Yiqing suggested with hidden depth, "Doesn’t this... already constitute extortion?"
The police officer who was left out of the loop suddenly became the center of attention.
They were all curious whether Shi Yaoguang demanding three million from Yu Zhenzhen constituted extortion.
Yu Zhenzhen herself also looked hopeful; if she could have Shi Yaoguang charged with extortion, she could save a sum of money.
Unfortunately, the officer spoke in a flat tone, explaining the criteria for extortion, and clarified, "Miss Shi’s actions do not constitute extortion. Moreover... the medicine Miss Shi produced is indeed capable of repairing skin injuries quickly, and so far, there is no other medicine available that can match it. Hence, the value of her medicine is extraordinary."
Shi Yiqing found it hard to believe, "How is that possible? How could she, a girl from the countryside, have such an impressive medicine?"
Hearing these words blurt out, Shi Yaoguang’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing his surprise. "Is that what you always thought of me? What’s wrong with coming from the countryside? If it wasn’t for someone exchanging me for your sake, I wouldn’t have grown up in the countryside."
"Besides, growing up in the countryside isn’t something terrible. Take the ointment I’ve produced, for example," Shi Yaoguang spoke with confidence. "Because only I can produce it, I’m free to set whatever price I please. It’s my exclusive right. If you can do the same, feel free to do so too. But if you can’t, then don’t flaunt your sense of superiority in front of me."
"Moreover," he continued, "Yu Zhenzhen asked for the price, I gave it, take it or leave it, it’s up to the willing buyer."
After speaking, she innocently blinked her eyes, "I didn’t force anyone to buy or sell, did I?"
Despite her words, Shi Yiqing still felt reluctant in her heart.
But regrettably, she couldn’t do anything about it and could only fume in silence.
While feeling frustrated, she wanted to stop Yu Zhenzhen from buying things from Shi Yaoguang.
Shi Yaoguang had been driven out of the Shi Family, and surely didn’t have money on hand.
At this moment, three million was a huge amount for her.
If Yu Zhenzhen didn’t pay, perhaps in some time Yaoguang would end up on the streets or distributing flyers to earn money.
Just thinking of that scene made her feel a thrill at the bottom of her heart.
To see Yaoguang’s misfortune, Shi Yiqing directly said to Yu Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, three million is too much. Let’s forget about buying the medicine."
Yu Zhenzhen was also hesitant. She secretly observed Shi Yaoguang’s expression and, seeing that she indeed didn’t seem to be in a hurry, Zhenzhen grew anxious.
Yaoguang wasn’t in a hurry to earn money, but she was in a hurry to spend it!
Therefore, she ignored Shi Yiqing’s suggestion and said to Shi Yaoguang, "Three million, I agree!"
Shi Yaoguang nodded and reached into her pocket, pulling out a cream-colored small porcelain bottle.
On the small porcelain bottle, there seemed to be a logo stamped with ink.
Before Yu Zhenzhen could get a clear look, Shi Yaoguang blocked her view with her hand, "Cash in hand, goods in hand."
Yu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and pulled out her phone to combine some money from her account, then immediately transferred the funds to Shi Yaoguang.
After confirming the receipt of payment, Yaoguang finally remarked, "Didn’t expect you to be so wealthy."
That comment struck right at Zhenzhen’s bleeding heart.
That was three million!
The three million she had managed to save up with great difficulty!
Although she was a middle-tier school tyrant, her family was only slightly more affluent than the average well-off household.
The three million was the result of her long efforts to save.
And now, it was all gone.
Yaoguang, the culprit, was still making careless remarks!
Furious, Yu Zhenzhen couldn’t take it anymore, but Shi Yaoguang was unexpectedly calm, "I was just complimenting you, don’t get excited."
Shi Yiqing disapproved of Yu Zhenzhen’s disobedience in seeking Yaoguang to buy the medicine.
However, since Zhenzhen had already made the purchase, there wasn’t much Yiqing could do about it.
She could only think of another way.
She quickly came up with that method.
She wanted to report Shi Yaoguang!
The police officer found her claim baffling, "Report her for what?"
Shi Yiqing declared confidently, "I want to report her for having medicine but neglecting the injuries of the victims, even maliciously selling toxic products..."
She rattled on and on, but in summary — Shi Yaoguang clearly had something that could restore the previously disfigured girl, yet deliberately kept it hidden, asking for an exorbitant price, and had become a societal menace, deserving severe punishment!
In response, Shi Yaoguang repeated her earlier statement, "See you on Star Live Broadcast."
