Jiang Nuan's eyes flickered towards Mo Fa for a moment, then slowly moved away. "Is there something you need from me? If it's about cooperation, I'll say it again, I don't want to work with you."
Rong Yin: "..." Apart from this matter, he truly had nothing else to find her for.
He wanted to pursue her, but she already had a child. He hadn't come to terms with that yet.
"Nuannuan, if this project is successful, you can get out of many predicaments and earn hundreds of millions. Why are you unwilling to cooperate with me?"
Jiang Nuan understood what he meant. Looking at him, she said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to cooperate with you, but I have many things on my plate right now. If I were to cooperate with you, I would have to personally go to Modo. You know my situation; the wellness center has just opened, and I can't leave it. I also have three children to take care of. You can't have both fish and bear's paw. Right now, I just want to live a peaceful life."
"You don't need to look for me anymore. If I want to cooperate with you, I'll call you in advance."
Rong Yin: "...??" Where did things go wrong?
This time, he had come with full confidence, truly hoping Jiang Nuan would cooperate with him.
He looked at Jiang Nuan's face, which was as beautiful as a nation's downfall, as clear and cool as water. Her eyes, in particular, showed no ripples.
He didn't know what conditions it would take to impress Jiang Nuan.
"Nuannuan, I hope you can understand one thing: as a physician, you have the ability to give those patients better treatment and alleviate their suffering. Think about your three children, think about your parents..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Nuan said angrily. She stood up abruptly, startling Rong Yin.
Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, he felt a sharp pain on his scalp. Jiang Nuan said, "You have dandruff. I'll remove it for you, so it doesn't fall on the table later."
Rong Yin: "!!" What? How could he possibly have dandruff?
The shampoo he used was all-natural and developed by himself, causing no harm to the skin. He had washed his hair thoroughly when he came this morning. How could he have dandruff?
"But why do I feel like my scalp hurt a little?" Rong Yin looked at her displement. She had a faint, pleasant scent on her, mixed with a subtle aroma of medicinal herbs, which was not unpleasant.
Jiang Nuan held the hair in her hand, clapped her hands, and said, "I was a bit heavy-handed. It was in your hair, and I've already removed it."
Jiang Nuan smiled at him, poured the wellness tea into a paper cup, and handed it to him. "This is specially brewed for you. Drink it quickly."
Rong Yin glanced at her faintly. "You're not cooperating with me, so how can I be in the mood to drink tea?"
"Nuannuan, how about a fifty-fifty split? You don't have to do anything. Just provide the formula and precise ratios, and you'll get half the profit. How about it? Tempted?"
Actually, he wanted to ask: Nuannuan, hearing such good terms, are you surprised? Are you delighted?
However, he saw no change on Jiang Nuan's face.
Rong Yin felt a bit defeated. He abruptly picked up the tea and took a sip. Oh, it tasted quite good. The anger that had suddenly risen instantly vanished. He took another sip of the wellness tea, feeling incredibly comfortable deep down.
"Nuannuan, this tea is really delicious?"
Jiang Nuan was still considering his fifty-fifty offer. With that money, she might be able to make her life a little easier.
"Young Master Rong, I can consider your offer. Go back and wait for my news. I'll give you an answer in a few days."
Rong Yin: "..." Happiness comes too quickly?!
He nodded somewhat blankly, then his expression turned to surprise. "Nuannuan, I'll go home and wait for your good news." After saying that, he didn't forget to eat the cake on the table as well.
Jiang Nuan watched him finish eating and said, "That will be two hundred and ninety-nine. Remember to transfer the money to me."
Rong Yin was stunned. "Jiang Nuan, are you blinded by money? You're charging me for the things you treated me with?"
Jiang Nuan looked at him and retorted righteously.
"Without money, how can I buy food to entertain you?"
Rong Yin: "...Heh heh..." He sneered, "I've really broadened my horizons. This is how you entertain guests."
"Alright, alright, alright, I, Rong Yin, have inexhaustible money. It's just the cost of a cup of tea. I'll transfer it to you."
Jiang Nuan nodded, very pleased with his willingness to transfer money. "Go slowly, don't bother seeing me out."
Rong Yin cast a dejected glance at her and turned to leave in anger.
Damn Jiang Nuan, she's so greedy. Who is he, Rong Yin? A genius young master sought after by millions of women, who walks with his chest out in Modo. Why did he stumble here at Jiang Nuan's place?
The more Rong Yin thought about it, the angrier he became, wishing he could curse Jiang Nuan so badly that even her mother wouldn't recognize her.
After thinking for a moment, he realized he didn't have the guts. Jiang Nuan was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Just listening to her tone of voice today was enough. If that woman Yan Xi dared to provoke her again in the future, she would surely meet a miserable end.
It really wasn't worth it for him to provoke Jiang Nuan for a few measly dollars.
Jiang Nuan returned home that evening. Jiang Xingyu and Meng Yuan were both at home.
"Oh! Nuannuan, you're back." Meng Yuan looked very tired and collapsed on the sofa.
Jiang Nuan nodded slightly, handing a Ziploc bag to Jiang Xingyu, which contained a hair and the paper cup Rong Yin had used.
"Big Brother, sending them to two different testing institutions will yield a higher accuracy."
Jiang Xingyu looked at her gratefully. "Okay, Nuannuan, thank you!" He hadn't expected to get Rong Yin's hair so quickly.
Jiang Nuan shook her head slightly and sat next to Meng Yuan. "How did things go?"
Meng Yuan shook her head slightly. "The person who was arrested is unwilling to say anything. He just claims it was a robbery, and he claims ignorance about the deaths of Liu Fei and his son. The case is stalled here. Unless the other person is caught, it can only remain like this."
"There must be something very important on the phone, otherwise, they wouldn't have risked their lives to come here and snatch the phone."
Jiang Nuan looked at her and asked, "Can you get the call records between Liu Fei and the other party?"
Meng Yuan shook her head. "I tried, but there were none, which is why I brought the phone back for you to repair."
Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes. "It seems the other party had a premeditated plan."
Meng Yuan looked at her and said, "That's right. The other party knew Liu Fei and his son were going to the Imperial Capital, so they made arrangements in advance. With such capability and resources, this person must be wealthy and powerful."
Jiang Nuan found it strange, who could it be?
Meng Yuan took out her phone and played a video for Jiang Nuan. "This is a video I re-compiled. It's very clear that Liu Fei contacted the other party before going to Modo at the airport."
Jiang Nuan glanced at it and then looked away. After a while, she said, "Jiang Shuo knows who they went to see, but Jiang Shuo won't say."
"That scoundrel, really..." Meng Yuan was furious. She picked up her phone, which was exactly the number calling in. She looked at Jiang Nuan.
"I... I'll step out to take a call."
Jiang Nuan: "..." She watched Meng Yuan's retreating back. What kind of call needed to be taken away from her?
