Chapter 285: Another Wave of Jealousy in the Clinic

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was past nine in the morning when Ling Yun and Xue Meining left Mansion Number One. It was sunny and beautiful, a stark difference from last night.

Ling Yun notified ICBC to transfer two million yuan to Tie Xiaohu and another five million yuan to Tang Meng in the car.

Xue Meining drove her Ferrari casually. Her mood was as sunny as the day. “Big Brother Yun, why do you have so much money suddenly? You have so much cash on hand even after you just bought two villas,” Xue Meining asked, feeling strange.

Ling Yun laughed and gave Xue Meining a full briefing of everything that had happened.

After carrying out such a big killing last night in front of Xue Meining, he didn’t feel the need to hide anything.

Ling Yun was of the opinion that the killing last night was necessary. There were so many powerful masters on Earth anyways. It would be difficult not to kill anyone.

Ling Yun’s principle was to live true to himself. He would not force anyone to accept him for who he was not.

It was the embodiment of his character and his heart. He was the only one that he was beholden to.

In terms of personality, the most compatible people were the assassin Xiao Meimei, Tie Xiaohu, and then Xue Meining.

Xue Meining had shown her true nature when she beat up Sun Xing in a fit of anger with Ling Yun at the car accident site.

They were attracted to each other through common traits.

Xue Meining stepped fiercely on the brakes and looked at Ling Yun with regret. “Sh*t!”

“What is wrong?” Ling Yun asked strangely.

Xue Meining slammed her feet in frustration. “Big Brother Yun, why didn’t you extort any money from those you killed last night before killing them? What a waste!”

Ling Yun threw his head back in laughter as he caressed Xue Meining’s long hair. “Ning Er, I barely survived last night. They would have killed me! How could I have extorted money from them? Moreover, there were things that I had to do that are infinitely more important than money. Do you understand?”

Xue Meining looked at Ling Yun incredulously. She knew first hand how petty Ling Yun was with his money. “Unbelievable…”

What was money compared to doing an internal cleansing for his comrades? What was money compared to the Longxian Grass and Yinyang Grass? Exploring the crater and transforming Lingyu’s body into an immortal spiritual body were worth more than billions to Ling Yun!

“We will be rich anyway. Don’t worry about it.” Ling Yun could have become instantly rich by making a trip to the bank. What was that bit of money?

“Big Brother Yun, why did you give Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng so much money then?” Xue Meining asked.

“They are my true loyal brothers. I want to help Tie Xiaohu. As for Tang Meng, well, that money is for the decoration of the mansion,” Ling Yun replied.

Xue Meining stared. “Big Brother Yun, you should have told me earlier. Five million yuan is too little for such a big mansion. I will ask my grandpa for twenty million yuan later! I will ask him for more if it is not enough…”

Ling Yun was speechless.

“That’s not very good?” Ling Yun gave Xue Meining a sidelong glance with embarrassment.

Embarrassment was rare.

“Big Brother Yun, Grandpa’s health has been improving since you treated him. He has been nagging me daily. You have saved his life. He feels that you deserve more than just two sets of needles.” Xue Meining beamed.

“Ning Er, what do you think fits me then?” Ling Yun chuckled.

Xue Meining’s pretty face reddened. “Whatever you want! I am not going to go into the details with you. Let’s continue on our way, …”

They found a place for a quick breakfast and headed right towards the clinic.

Ling Yun called both Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng to notify them that the money had been wired over. Xue Meining robbed the phone from Ling Yun’s hand before he could hang up on Tang Meng.

“Tang Meng, listen carefully. I will transfer you another twenty million yuan later. Tell me if it’s not enough. You will get it from me in the event the renovation is not good enough!”

She then hung up without hearing a reply from Tang Meng.

Twenty million yuan! Ning Er was really domineering. Tang Meng was left hanging on the phone. There was no need to save any money in that case. Tang Meng would just go for the best in class. Tang Meng was good with money anyway.

The two of them arrived at the clinic in a jiffy. The first floor of the clinic was already respectable. Windows were wiped clean and spotless. It was a world apart from when they had first taken over.

The action was on the second floor. Ling Yun felt reassured when he heard Yao Rou commanding the works.

“Big Brother Yun, is this your clinic? It’s so close to the villa!” Xue Meining clung on to Ling Yun’s arm as she scouted the whole clinic.

Ling Yun nodded and headed upstairs. “Rou Er, I am here!”

“And who is Rou Er?” Xue Meining glared at Ling Yun questioningly.

“Erm… The general manager of the clinic…” Ling Yun arranged a position for Yao Rou from the top of his head.

Yao Rou put everything down and sprang down the stars in delight when she heard Ling Yun calling out to her. However, she froze when she saw Xue Meining on Ling Yun’s arm. She trembled slightly as she tried to conceal her feelings. Biting her lips, she said, “Ling Yun, you are here…”

That did not fool Xue Meining. She pinched the flabby meat on Ling Yun’s waist.

Right, there was another one!

Of course, Ling Yun could do nothing towards Xue Meining’s “attack”, being the Casanova that he was. Instead, he smiled and introduced them simply. Yao Rou smiled and walked up cordially to Xue Meining. “Nice to meet you!”

Xue Meining was domineering, but she had good manners. She could only return the gesture when she see how polite Yao Rou was to her. “Nice to meet you. I am Ling Yun’s girlfriend…”

Xue Meining definitely noticed the tremble that ran through Rou Er. Her face had suddenly become crestfallen..

Well, fight on… Ling Yun saw everything clearly on the sidelines but was too lazy to get involved with the rivalry between these women. He turned his attention towards the workers. “Work hard! I will reward you handsomely if you complete a great job.”

That motivated all of them. A foreman stopped work and came over to Ling Yun. “I heard that you are the boss here? You must be very capable to be able to open such a big clinic at such a young age.”

Yao Rou overheard. She frowned but stayed silent.

Ling Yun looked around at the progress dismissively. He pretended not to see her expression. “You work fast. It looks like it will be done in a couple of days?”

The foreman was practical. He had a simple smile on his face even though he was covered in dust. “We will be able to finish it within two days. We know that this place will be used as a clinic, so we used the best green paint. There won’t be any pollution or odor. Just take a sniff, there is no smell, right?”

Xue Meining concurred. Wrinkles formed on her nose as she took a deep breath. “It’s true. There is no smell…”

Ling Yun, on the other hand, could smell the pungent paint. That was because his five senses were heightened at Physique Tempering Stage Level Three. Nonetheless, he had complete faith in Yao Rou. She would definitely choose only the best paint available, so he left it up to her.

It wasn’t critical anyway. He would air the place out for a few days before officially opening the clinic.

“Have you eaten breakfast?” Ling Yun turned and asked Yao Rou lovingly.

Happiness crept up in Yao Rou’s heart as she nodded gently. “Yes, I have. Why do you have time to drop by today?”

“I came here to… erm… look at the progress of the renovations!” Ling Yun came up with yet another convenient excuse as he felt yet another impending pinch on his waist.

Call it a woman’s sixth sense, but Xue Meining could sense that something was going on between Ling Yun and Yao Rou. She could not lose her cool in front of so many people and could therefore only think of ways to get out of the clinic. “Big Brother Yun, I want to watch a movie. Shall we go?”

Xue Meining could not help but to sneak a peek at Yao Rou, who had turned away uncomfortably.

Ling Yun knew it was time to go before jealousy consumed Xue Meining again. “Sure, let’s go then!” He brought Xue Meining downstairs immediately after but did not forget to wave silently at Yao Rou.

The two ladies were not acquainted, but Yao Rou knew about Xue Meining. She also knew that this long-legged beauty had a special relationship with Ling Yun and therefore chose to endure silently.

To Yao Rou, Ling Yun was someone she had to wait patiently for, not fight for.

It did not make her feel any better though. She bit her lips so hard that they turned white while she looked longingly at Xue Meining and Ling Yun getting into the Ferrari.

I know that this road is filled with thorns. I know better than anyone else that you are very outstanding. That is why I will never let go… Yao Rou stood quietly by the windowsill and looked at the Ferrari fading into the horizon.

“Are we really going to the movies?” Ling Yun asked the pouting Xue Meining playfully as the Ferrari headed towards Qingshui City.

“We will shop for some clothes before heading to the big screens!” Xue Meining replied enthusiastically and floored the gas pedal.
