Chapter 285 Like Two Bickering Children
Ming Hui puffed out his chest when he saw Ye Shenge's joyful expression. His young master's gifts were definitely rare treasures. Look how pleased Miss Ye was.
"These are the Eight Treasures Jewelry, both in material and craftsmanship, they are hard to find in the world. Such items should be paired with exceptional individuals like Miss Ye. Young Master Shang hopes Miss Ye will like them."
Ye Shenge indeed liked them very much. These eight sets of jewelry could certainly be treasured as collectibles. In her past life, a single set could fetch an astronomical price, let alone eight sets. They were practically priceless.
However, Ye Shenge first looked up at Zi Yisheng. After all, it was a gift from another man. Regardless of whether it was a thank-you gift or not, she couldn't displease her boyfriend just because she liked it.
Zi Yisheng was initially displeased, but seeing the little girl look at him first instantly smoothed his ruffled feathers.
See, his little girl still valued him the most and wouldn't be dazzled by a mere set of jewelry.
"If you like it, then accept it. After all, it was originally a thank-you gift for you. We are not in the wrong by accepting it."
Ming Hui's expression twisted as he listened. This was truly biting the hand that fed you. Did Young Master Zi not understand the preciousness of this set of Eight Treasures Jewelry?
Ye Shenge looked up at Ming Hui, her smile much brighter.
"Please thank Young Master Shang for his generosity. I like them very much."
"Hehe, it's only right. It's good if Miss Ye likes them, at least Young Master Shang didn't send the wrong gift."
Ye Mu'en, with great perceptiveness, helped his sister carry all the boxes back to the room and thoughtfully placed them in the wardrobe, making it convenient for her to store them in her space.
Ming Hui looked at Ye Shenge hesitantly. He was about to earnestly plead with the real big shot.
"Miss Ye, could you help my young master detoxify him in exchange for the Eight Treasures Jewelry? My young master is truly pitiful. He's sought help from many but couldn't be cured. Now, he is fortunate to have met you, sob sob..."
Ye Shenge looked at Ming Hui, who could conjure tears on cue, and was utterly incredulous. Was this the legendary man made of water?
Zi Yisheng found him utterly contemptible and inwardly mocked Shang Shaoyan for his poor judgment in choosing such a secretary. If Ouyang were like Ming Hui, he would have disabled him long ago.
"Shut up and tell Young Master Shang to prepare the documents for two mines. He can come over directly when he's discharged from the hospital."
Ming Hui's tears vanished instantly. Ye Shenge even suspected Ming Hui's eyes were a faucet, able to turn off at will.
"Thank you, Young Master Zi, thank you, Miss Ye. You are truly good people. My young master is saved."
Zi Yisheng's ears were beginning to ache from the noise. He really couldn't stand to see this imbecile anymore.
"Get lost."
Ming Hui tensed up, quickly bowed, and retreated backward while bowing.
Ye Shenge only turned to look at Zi Yisheng after Ming Hui had disappeared from sight.
"This person is simply a freak. How does someone like that mingle with your crowd?"
Zi Yisheng didn't care about the character of Shang Shaoyan's subordinate. As long as he didn't have such idiots among his own people, he was fine.
Ye Shenge and the other two were now free and sat in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting.
Their moment of peace was shattered when a stranger walked in.
Zi Yisheng showed a rare, faint smile upon seeing the newcomer, but his expression immediately turned grim as he saw the group following behind.
"Is this the welcome gift you're giving me?"
Ye Shenge frowned tightly upon seeing Han Yuyan casually thrown to the ground, her face filled with disgust.
Min Xing unceremoniously sat opposite Zi Yisheng, but his eyes were fixed on Ye Shenge.
"Is this the person who tricked you out of my herb garden? She's truly worth it!"
After speaking, Min Xing extended his hand towards Ye Shenge.
"Hello, I'm Min Xing. If you need medicinal herbs in the future, just ask. I have the most comprehensive collection of herbs in the country."
Ye Shenge was surprised. She hadn't expected the herb garden to belong to the person in front of her. However, his appearance did not suggest someone who would patiently cultivate medicinal herbs.
To put it mildly, Min Xing was very handsome, but it was a scruffy, rogueish kind of handsome. No one would doubt him being a playboy, so his appearance was very far from his interests.
Ye Shenge also extended her hand. Their fingertips touched briefly before they parted.
"Hello, I'm Ye Shenge."
Min Xing flashed a wicked smile and murmured,
"Ye Shenge, Shenge. Even her name is so pleasant to hear."
Zi Yisheng raised his leg to deliver a kick, but Min Xing, as if anticipating Zi Yisheng's move, spun around with his chair and dodged it.
"Tsk tsk, still the same bad temper."
At this moment, Wei Jiu handed Zi Yisheng a jade token that Min Xing had given him earlier. Upon seeing the jade token, Zi Yisheng's expression became even more displeased.
Ye Shenge exchanged glances with her elder brother, not understanding the riddle the two were playing.
"Are you sure you want to use this jade token!"
Zi Yisheng's tone carried an undisguised killing intent.
Min Xing, however, remained unfazed, his roguish smile still on his face.
"This is the last time. I want to exchange the jade token for Han Yuyan's life, to allow him to leave the country on his own two feet."
Zi Yisheng violently smashed the jade token to the ground. It shattered into pieces, startling Ye Shenge. She had never seen Zi Yisheng like this before.
Zi Yisheng seemed to sense the little girl beside him was frightened. His anger instantly dissipated, and he quickly pulled her into his arms, unconcerned by his brother-in-law's glare.
"I'm sorry, I scared you."
Ye Shenge was only momentarily startled and quickly composed herself. She didn't understand what was going on between the two of them and could only pat Zi Yisheng's back to comfort him.
"I'm fine. You deal with your issues."
Ye Shenge withdrew from Zi Yisheng's embrace and said nothing further.
Min Xing's smile also vanished. His eyes were fixed on the shattered jade token on the ground, unsure if he was shocked by Zi Yisheng or deep in thought.
With a look from Zi Yisheng, ARong stepped forward to check on Han Yuyan's condition.
"Young Master Zi, he seems to have been drugged."
Zi Yisheng looked at Min Xing, who was still in a daze.
"Wake him up."
Min Xing seemed not to hear, squatting on the ground and meticulously picking up the scattered fragments of jade.
Zi Yisheng grew angrier the more he looked. He stood up and kicked Min Xing.
"I told you to wake Han Yuyan up. What use is it to pick up broken things?"
Min Xing's hand froze. He clenched the broken jade in his hand tightly, and blood soon flowed out.
Ye Shenge rubbed her temples. What was going on? She felt like the two of them had some kind of complicated relationship.
"Wei Jiu, go call my master and ask him to bandage comrade Min Xing."
Wei Jiu turned and left before Zi Yisheng could finish speaking. The best task now was to stay away from the storm.
Ye Shenge looked at the two people frozen in place and helplessly turned to her elder brother.
Ye Mu'en patted his sister's head reassuringly and even moved the chair and the person back further, clearly indicating he would not get involved.
Ye Shenge sighed. Were these two going to remain in this stalemate? It was like two children bickering, refusing to speak to each other!
