Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 130 - Such a Big Favor

Chapter 130: Such a Big Favor

“I’m here to buy herbs, of course. Why else would I come to a medial hall?” said Ling Chuxi indifferently, curling her lips upwards into a smile.

She really never thought that this medical hall was actually the Gao family’s. Earlier, she had just been mentally praising the boss for conducing their business well. Turns out, that boss was actually Gao Wentian.

Gao Wentian smiled. “Miss Ling, which herbs do you wish to purchase? Why don’t I bring Miss Ling around to take a look?”

Looking at the smiling Gao Wentian, Ling Chuxi felt a little perplexed. His att.i.tude was a little odd. Logically speaking, shouldn’t he be trying to get some justice for his sister for the incident that happened the other day? However, he did not even bring it up, and instead displayed a courteous att.i.tude.

Ling Chuxi smiled back at him. “Alright. I’m not sure if your Ning He Hall has the herbs I wish to purchase. I want Ling He Gra.s.s, Bai Du, Huang Ling… um, and Tian Xing Gra.s.s.”

“Bai Du? Huang Ling? Tian Xing Gra.s.s?”

Gao Wentian was stunned. Bai Du and Huang Ling were two totally different and conflicting herbs. Taking them together would result in a highly toxic mix. Even Immortal Daluo would not be able to save the victim who ingested it.

If it were not for Ling Chuxi’s clear eyes, Gao Wentian would have thought that she was here to cause trouble.

“What? You don’t have them?” Ling Chuxi squinted slightly as she looked at Gao Wentian who was in a daze. “Isn’t your Ning He Hall known to be able to provide the herbs as long as one can pay the price?”

“No, Miss Ling, you have misunderstood,” said Gao Wentian. His formal businessman smile was back. “Miss Ling, please sit here. I will explain it to you in detail shortly.

After gesturing a ‘please’ to Ling Chuxi, Gao Wentian turned his head to get someone to serve tea. Ling Chuxi did not bother to be courteous and sat down. Ling Yichen also sat beside her with a calm face.

“Miss Ling, we do have Bai Du, Huang Ling, and Ling He Gra.s.s. It’s just that I am a little curious as to the reason Miss Ling is buying Bai Du and Huang Ling. One must know that when these two herbs are combined, it is highly toxic,” said Gao Wentian, still smiling.

“Why? Is it your policy to ask your guests what each herb they buy is for?” asked Ling Chuxi, frowning in dissatisfaction.

Gao Wentian shook his head. “That’s not the case. This is just a casual question I am asking out of pure curiosity. Miss Ling does not need to answer. We don’t have Tian Xiang Gra.s.s on hand at the moment, but if Miss Ling needs it, I can despatch someone to immediately transfer it over from another shop. It’s just that I will need to trouble Miss Ling to wait for a few days.”

“You actually have it.” Ling Chuxi was a little surprised. “Your Ning He Hall indeed lives up to its name.”

Gao Wentian laughed lightly in humility. “Doing business. Just to earn a living. Turning his head, he instructed the attendant, “Go and wrap up these herbs that Miss Ling needs.”

Noticing his action, Ling Chuxi smiled. “Eh, I haven’t asked the price yet. If I can’t afford them, then just forget it.”

“Including Tian Xing Gra.s.s, the total is three thousand taels,” replied Gao Wentian, smiling too. “Three thousand taels… it wouldn’t be that Miss Ling doesn’t have this much, would it? You are the winner of White Stone Academy’s last experiential compet.i.tion.”

Looking at Gao Wentian’s smiling face, Ling Chuxi smiled playfully in return. What exactly was being sold in Gao Wentian’s gourd? Just three thousand taels?! One needed to know that any of the herbs here were no less than three thousand taels. Furthermore, Tian Xing Gra.s.s was worth a city!

Not only was Gao Wentian not being calculative over the fact that she had bullied Gao Rongrong, now he even offered her such a big favour. Why was it so?
