Mo Ziyan arrived at Qingshan Hospital early in the morning.
She felt she had left something behind during her stay and intended to look for it. Unexpectedly, she overheard the conversation between Lu Pan and Yun Chuxue.
"Brother Pan..." Mo Ziyan's eyes were red. She thought Lu Pan only had her in his heart, never imagining he had other women.
She tried to control her tears, but her grievances spilled out uncontrollably.
Mo Ziyan showed a stubborn expression. Without waiting for Lu Pan to speak, she turned and ran downstairs.
Lu Pan frowned slightly and did not pursue her.
He was not a pure-hearted man. In his years down the mountain in the Imperial City's Yamen, he had been more like a wanderer during missions, rarely falling in love.
Women, to him, were more like primal outlets for temporary pleasure.
Mo Ziyan would eventually know this. It was better to experience pain briefly than to prolong it.
The Yun family members stared in utter shock, as if struck by lightning.
Yun Mingkui looked at his daughter with disappointment, roaring in anger, "Yun Chuxue, this is the man you chose? It's a colossal joke..."
Yun Chuxue also snapped out of her shock and daze. She glanced at Lu Pan.
Lu Pan turned and gave her a faint look.
"The man I, Yun Chuxue, choose, I will never regret!"
Yun Chuxue's beautiful face held determination. "Even if he has countless women, as long as he has a corner of his heart for me, it's better than all of you!"
"You, you, you are utterly unreasonable..."
Yun Mingkui was almost angered to death by his daughter.
"Young man, what kind of love potion have you given my daughter?!" Yun Mingkui angrily questioned Lu Pan. "Can you let her go? Let the Yun family go? Name your price... Five million? No... How about ten million?"
Seeing Lu Pan's simple attire, Yun Mingkui didn't think he was wealthy and wanted to use money to deter him.
He took out a check and quickly wrote out a ten-million check. "This ten million is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. As long as you leave Xue'er, it's yours!"
Yun Chuxue gave a wry smile. So, in her father's eyes, she was only worth ten million.
She gazed at Lu Pan, her heart racing, wanting to see his choice.
Lu Pan walked towards Yun Mingkui and took the ten-million check from him.
Yun Mingkui showed a hint of joy.
Yun Chuxue opened her mouth, disappointment forming in her eyes. So, he was the same, swayed by money...
But in the next second, the check in Lu Pan's hand turned into countless paper scraps.
He looked at Yun Mingkui indifferently, emanating a terrifying coldness that made Yun Mingkui and the Yun family members shiver.
Lu Pan said sarcastically, "Sorry, she is priceless to me!"
Yun Chuxue's mind exploded. Her delicate body trembled, the disappointment in her eyes vanished, replaced by a bright light.
A chance encounter, a night of pleasure, a family bargaining chip, only he felt her helplessness and saw her as a priceless treasure.
From then on, Yun Chuxue saw only Lu Pan.
Yun Mingkui was also stunned. That was ten million, and Lu Pan just tore it up.
"Fifteen million!"
Yun Mingkui gritted his teeth. He believed Lu Pan was negotiating with him.
In this world, who could resist the temptation of money?
Lu Pan sneered, as if looking at a clown.
How could Yun Mingkui know that ten million was less than a drop in the bucket to Lu Pan?
Lu Pan's eighth master managed the Four Seas Money House, controlling hundreds of banks worldwide and amassing all the wealth of the world.
In essence, he lacked nothing but money!
"Twenty... twenty million!" Yun Mingkui gritted his teeth.
The Yun family was in trouble now, and twenty million was already his limit.
"Hmph!"
Lu Pan snorted coldly. Yun Mingkui's blood surged, his vision blurred, and he almost fainted.
Just then, the emergency room light turned off, and the doctor came out.
"Doctor Xiao, how is my grandfather?" Yun Chuxue hurried forward.
If there was anyone left in the Yun family who cared about her, it was Yun Muy野.
"Grandpa Yun suffered from qi and blood rushing to his head. Fortunately, he was sent here in time, and he is now out of danger," the attending physician, Xiao Nan, smiled faintly at Yun Chuxue, his gaze gentle.
"Thank you," Yun Chuxue thanked Xiao Nan.
"We grew up together, and Grandpa Yun watched me grow up. Thanking me is too formal," Xiao Nan shook his head with a smile. "Uncle Yun, Chuxue, you should go in and see Grandpa Yun, but don't disturb his rest for now."
"Alright, Xiao Nan, thank you very much this time."
Yun Mingkui also hurriedly thanked him.
Yun Chuxue glanced at Lu Pan and followed the Yun family into the emergency room.
As soon as Yun Chuxue left, the smile on Xiao Nan's face disappeared. His sharp eyes swept over Lu Pan, showing a hint of hostility.
He had already heard about the events at the chamber of commerce banquet last night.
"I advise you to stay away from Chuxue!" Xiao Nan warned Lu Pan.
"Who do you think you are!" Lu Pan retorted coldly, looking towards the emergency room, quietly waiting for Yun Chuxue.
Seeing that Lu Pan didn't even spare him a glance, Xiao Nan was greatly enraged. He angrily said, "Even if Chuxue doesn't marry into the Lu family, it won't be your turn. We grew up together..."
"She is already my woman," Lu Pan withdrew his gaze, looking at Xiao Nan, who was like a performing clown, asserting his claim. "She is crazier than I imagined."
"You, you're talking nonsense!" A hidden glint flashed in Xiao Nan's eyes. "Chuxue is not that kind of woman!"
"No matter what kind of woman she is, she can only be my woman!" Lu Pan said with arrogance. "As for you, in my eyes, you are not even a speck of dust!"
Xiao Nan clenched his fists, suppressing his impulse.
At this moment, the door opened, and Yun Chuxue came out.
Lu Pan stepped forward to meet her.
"Lu Pan, I still need to handle some family matters. You should go back first," Yun Chuxue looked at Lu Pan gratefully.
"Can you handle it yourself?" Lu Pan was a little worried.
Yun Chuxue showed a relaxed expression. "With things as they are, the Lu family and the Nalan family will naturally not let this matter rest. But I, Yun Chuxue, graduated from a top business school. Even without them, I am confident I can revive the Yun family!"
Looking at the confident Yun Chuxue, Lu Pan smiled and nodded. "Good. If you need anything, just call me!"
"Chuxue, this person clearly has impure intentions. You must not be fooled by him!"
Xiao Nan said indignantly, slandering Lu Pan.
Yun Chuxue frowned slightly, displeased. "Xiao Nan, I am very grateful that you saved my grandfather, but he is my man. I hope you will respect him in the future!"
As she spoke, a blush appeared on Yun Chuxue's face.
Lu Pan greatly admired Yun Chuxue's courage to love and hate. As for Xiao Nan, in his eyes, he was just a clown!
After leaving the hospital, Lu Pan took out his phone and called Mo Ziyan.
But the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering. Lu Pan felt a little helpless, thinking that Mo Ziyan was still angry.
After much thought, he headed towards the Mo family.
Meanwhile, Mo Ziyan walked dejectedly down an alley.
Suddenly, several figures blocked her path.
Mo Ziyan panicked and quickly took out her phone to call Lu Pan.
The next second, she lost consciousness...
