Chapter 375: Chapter 375: All the Hard Work for Nothing
“Miss Jiang, this one is about to expire,” Hao Yansen reminded her bluntly.
Jiang Kerou’s face suddenly stiffened, “…”
The others all felt the air beco thick with tension and awkwardness.
“However, I can buy this one from you; whatever you paid, I’ll pay you the sa,” Hao Yansen continued indifferently, seemingly unwilling to owe her this favor.
It was almost like he pitied her…
Jiang Kerou shook her head, “No need. Since it’s not needed, just forget it; I only hoped Grandpa Hao would be okay. Now that he’s fine, it’s okay if this goes to waste; it’s really nothing.”
“But Kerou, you went through so much to find this Pill of Life!” Hao Zaiye said with a pained expression, feeling that it was such a pity for her.
Jiang Kerou smiled carelessly, “It’s okay, I really don’t mind. Besides, I did it willingly.”
“Ah, you’re such a fool. But don’t worry, we’ve all taken your kindness to heart,” he reassured.
“Yes, we’ve all noted your kind intention,” the others also said, nodding.
Hao Yansen didn’t care what they said; after all, it was they who had taken note, not him.
“Miss Jiang, are you sure you don’t want to sell it to ? I don’t want to owe anyone a favor, especially a woman,” Hao Yansen reminded her once again.
Jiang Kerou’s eyes flickered, and she smiled, “Really, it’s not necessary. And don’t worry about it, I already said, I did it willingly… ”
“Then, thank you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now, as I have so matters to attend to. Please make yourselves at ho,” said Hao Yansen as he turned and left without any sign of reluctance.
Jiang Kerou watched his retreating figure, her gaze complex and flickering.
Nobody knew that she clenched her hands tightly in secret.
Since Hao Yansen had left, the others naturally could only depart as well.
Hao Zaiye and Jiang Kerou were the last to leave.
Hao Zaiye still felt sowhat indignant, “How could it turn out this way? Hao Yansen actually found the Pill of Life, and we knew nothing about it! Our efforts were in vain!”
“Uncle Ye, it’s fine. After all, we have plenty of ti ahead of us…” Jiang Kerou smiled reassuringly at him and then left with confident composure.
Even if she had failed this ti, it didn’t matter; there would be plenty more opportunities in the future.
Anyway, she wouldn’t give up, she could never give up in this lifeti!
……
When Hao Yansen returned to the sickroom, he saw Bai Lang doing a physical check-up on the old master.
Mo Jun was helping at his side.
Seeing him enter, Mo Jun expressed surprise, “You’re back so soon?”
“How is Grandpa?” Hao Yansen countered instead of answering.
Bai Lang smiled, “The old master’s recovery is indeed going very well; it seems the Pill of Life is truly a Miracle Cure. With our Miss Jun here, I think the old master won’t need anymore.”
At that, everyone laughed.
“Well then, since I’m no longer needed, I’ll head back now. If you need for anything, just contact ,” Bai Lang said with a smile and then left.
Once he was gone, Old Master Hao asked Hao Yansen, “What were they here for?”
Mo Jun also looked at him curiously.
“It’s nothing, they just found a Pill of Life, but I declined,” Hao Yansen simply said, deliberately omitting any ntion of Jiang Kerou.
But Mo Jun was no fool and naturally guessed sothing.
Jiang Kerou had previously been determined to develop the Pill of Life to save the old master.
