Chapter 230: Lust Over Loyalty

Bo Yanqing had been watching her walk away.

He had never seen Nan Jiaojiao bounce around as she walked.

Deep down, she was always proper and composed; it seemed her habits were etched into her DNA.

Even if she walked slowly, she would never allow herself to lose composure.

This was the first time he had felt her exuberance.

The corners of Bo Yanqing’s lips gently lifted in a silent laugh as he reached up to touch his neck where she had bitten him, leaving a ring of teeth marks that bled.

He clenched his teeth in secret, “Little rascal!”

On the third day, Jiang Yu had checked Old Lady Bo’s leg and said there was noting wrong, and that she just needed to be more careful from now on.

“Thank you for your trouble; you can name any price for the consultation fee, and I’ll pay.” Bo Yanqing’s tone was much improved from when he had arrived.

Jiang Yu took a drag on his cigarette, holding it in one hand while propping up his bent elbow with the other, squinting at Bo Yanqing for a while.

“Green Bloodwort.”

Without a second word, Bo Yanqing spoke, “I’ll have it sent to you, and I’ll add an extra billion to the consultation fee.”

Jiang Yu smiled, “I want the seeds of the Green Bloodwort.”

Bo Yanqing fell silent.

Pei Dongshi and Nan Jiaojiao both looked over at the same time.

Green Bloodwort had nearly become extinct; otherwise, the auction for a single plant would not have reached a price of two billion.

After that, Bo Yanqing had checked the buyer, but the auction house would not reveal their identity, and indeed, they did not know it as well.

The seller who could provide Green Bloodwort was either wealthy or high-status.

Common temptations such as fame and money wouldn’t lure them; for them to auction a plant was already a benefit to mankind.

The seeds were even harder to find.

“I want ten plants.

There’s no time limit; you can deliver them whenever you find them,” Jiang Yu laid out another condition.

Bo Yanqing did not hesitate much, “Fine, ten plants.

I’ll have Han Chuan send over the one we have today.”

Originally, when he had acquired it, he was interested in Green Bloodwort’s blood clotting properties, hoping it might help with Bo Qingshan’s cold poison.

Later on, when Nan Jiaojiao treated him with acupuncture, she didn’t even mention it, so the plant was looked after by professionals.

Jiang Yu raised his eyes, “That settles the payment then, huh?

Eat your breakfast and then go.

I like peace and quiet, and I’d rather you didn’t come by casually in the future, disturbing my plants.”

Yaen Chi’s mouth twitched.

This old lady had changed her tune as soon as she got the consultation fee.

Nan Jiaojiao stood up, “I should be going too.”

“You stay here!” Jiang Yu pointed at her directly with the cigarette holder, “You’ll stay here until I say you can go, and not a moment before!”

Nan Jiaojiao was unfazed, “I will not.

I’m going out for breakfast and need to return to school today.

The professor has already called me several times; I’ll visit you again when I have time.”

“Grown bold, have you?

I can’t manage you anymore?”

Jiang Yu surged forward in a few steps, and Pei Dongshi leisurely stood up, positioning himself in front of Nan Jiaojiao, whispering to her, “Slip away now.”

Nan Jiaojiao blinked at him and ducked out, crouching.

The moment she moved, Bo Yanqing followed right behind her, grabbing her arm at the doorway, “Ride in my car.”

“What about grandma?”

“Yaen Chi is here; he’ll take grandma back.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked over his shoulder, “Isn’t this a case of forgetting loyalty at the sight of beauty?”

Bo Yanqing gave her a meaningful look, “So you knew you could be charming?”

She got goosebumps all over.

Outside the house, Shen Shichu had been keeping watch for three days.

During these days, other than the servant who went out to buy groceries and Yaen Chi coming and going, he hadn’t seen anyone else.

Shen Shichu was persistent, convinced that the figure he had seen three days ago was Nan Jiaojiao, and stayed out of sheer determination, ignoring calls from senior company executives informing him of troubles in an overseas company; he simply didn’t care.
