Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Yuefan and Xuerong’s First Collaboration

"News always travels fastest among the top brass. While we were dealing with this just now, you can’t even imagine how many paparazzi were waiting outside."

"So what are you planning to do?"

"Don’t worry. Tomorrow, I’ll spread the word that someone already took it. I was just being filial to my own elder, no need to explain the details to them, right?"

Jiang Fan gave a cunning smile.

Yin Ruxue instantly understood what he meant. ’This guy’s mind is really quick.’

By doing this, everyone would assume he had used the treasure to make a deal with Li Jiaxiang.

Who would dare snatch food from the hands of a big shot like that?

Isn’t that like an old man tired of living eating arsenic—purely courting death?

"You could certainly say that. So, what do you plan to do about the Hua Family?"

Seeing her bring up the question, Jiang Fan simply picked up his bowl. "As long as they don’t come begging me for help later, we’re good."

"Their lifeline has been severed. What right do they have to say anything?"

As for the Hua Family, with a big shot like Li Jiaxiang now in the picture, Jiang Fan didn’t give them a second thought.

Seeing that he already had a plan, Yin Ruxue didn’t say any more.

"Well, you eat up. I should get going. Mengmeng is still home alone."

"Remember to call me if anything comes up."

"Mm, okay. Thanks for your help this time."

Jiang Fan stood up and said with great sincerity.

"No need to be so formal. We’re friends, aren’t we?"

Yin Ruxue suddenly broke into a smile.

"Right. We’re friends."

"Come on, I’ll walk you out."

This time, Yin Ruxue didn’t refuse. Jiang Fan walked her to the main gate of the orphanage and watched her drive away.

"You two were smiling so sweetly just now."

Jun Yue’s voice drifted up from behind him.

"I’m not trying to criticize, Sis, but can you not be so scary next time? How do you walk without making a single sound?"

Jiang Fan turned his head to look at her.

"I deliberately made my footsteps heavier, and you still didn’t hear me. I see your heart is completely tied to someone else now."

Jun Yue’s voice held a trace of resentful longing.

"No, that’s pure slander! She and I are just friends. She came to help us this time, so we owe her a favor!"

Jiang Fan declared righteously.

Seeing his righteous expression, Jun Yue sneered. ’If they hadn’t grown up together since they were kids, she might have actually believed him.’

"Don’t worry, I’ll be the one to repay this favor. Coincidentally, I personally designed a product for the company a while back. That should be enough to repay her."

Jun Yue snorted coldly.

"Oh, really? That works too."

"As long as we don’t owe anyone anything, that’s what matters."

"Alright, let’s drop it for now. The problem’s solved, and I’m going back to eat."

’Damn it, I almost starved to death in this peaceful era.’

After saying that, Jiang Fan trotted back to the courtyard and, like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds, devoured all the food on the table.

The feeling of having a full stomach was something he found particularly intoxicating right now.

Once things had settled down, the director helped Li Qian’Er calm the rest of the children.

To these children, the moment they saw Jiang Fan, it was as if they had seen the Great Sage Equal to Heaven from their dreams.

Before, they were filled with a fear that felt like the sky was falling, especially since so many vicious-looking men had broken into their home.

Even their Qian’Er was hit.

In their most hopeless moment, Jiang Fan appeared. Like a god descending to the mortal realm, he single-handedly took down fifteen men.

You have to understand, boys and girls at this age idolize people like that the most.

So, with Jiang Fan speaking to them, the children’s emotions were quickly soothed.

By the time all this was done, it was nearly midnight.

After quickly washing up, Jiang Fan didn’t even turn on the light in his room before flopping onto the bed.

The next second, a startled cry came from beneath him.

"Junyue, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Fan felt his mind go blank.

"You..."

Jun Yue’s face flushed with embarrassment, but thankfully, since the lights were off, Jiang Fan couldn’t see it.

"Alright, it’s very late. You should get some sleep. We both have to go to the company tomorrow."

Jun Yue said shyly, keeping her voice low.

"Then you..."

But as he was about to speak, a fiery passion suddenly met his lips.

...

「The next morning」

Jiang Fan climbed out of bed, yawning.

Jun Yue was sleeping on the far side of the bed.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan shook his head helplessly.

’If this keeps up, I’ll turn into Liu Xiahui sooner or later.’

’Heaven knows how much self-control I used last night to keep from making a mistake.’

After quickly washing up, Jiang Fan pulled out the box containing the wild ginseng.

’It’s not safe here anymore.’ He planned to take it with him.

He would publicly claim he’d given it to Li Jiaxiang.

After getting in the car, Jiang Fan first used a knife to carefully slice off three pieces, which he then placed in a small porcelain vial.

After arriving at the company, he immediately hired a courier to deliver it to Nalan Jia.

The man had taken such a huge risk last night to stand by his side; Jiang Fan was naturally not a stingy person.

Nalan Jia, woken up by a phone call early in the morning, was still a bit grumpy. But when he held the item in his hand, he sat on the sofa, speechless for a moment.

"Who was it? Sending something over so early in the morning?"

As the person who shared his bed, Lv Ling naturally knew her husband had quite the temper when he woke up. Yet now he was sitting there quietly instead of cursing someone out.

"A delivery. Here, take this. There are three slices inside. One for you, one for Lan, and one for Ye."

"Just take it according to the method the doctor told you."

"Is this..."

Lv Ling’s eyes widened.

"That’s right. Jiang Fan sent it. I did him a small favor last night. I never expected he’d actually give this to me."

"This is a huge favor to repay!"

"From now on, no matter what he needs, I’ll help him. No matter what it is!"

Nalan Jia looked at his wife and spoke with great solemnity, as if he were also speaking to himself.

"You don’t have to go this far for my sake. Life and death are decided by fate."

"Over the years, I’ve come to see things clearly. Everything in a person’s life is predestined. What will be, will be."

Lv Ling sat down gently beside her husband and rested her head on his shoulder.

"No. Absolutely not."

Nalan Jia pulled his wife into an embrace. "I will absolutely not allow that to happen."

"As long as there’s even a sliver of hope, I will not give up!"
