Chapter 637: A Miser Yet Again

Huo Yao could not help sighing in her heart when she saw the high-quality Chinese herbs in the box. Her next-door neighbor was genuinely a big fat cash cow.

He was the go-to guy for any rare herbs from now on!

Huo Yao quickly opened the second box to see a purple lotus-like Chinese herb and her eyes glinted.

It was a high-grade Seven Leaf Lotus.

She had faced so much trouble finding this herb.

Min Yu glanced at the herbs before he asked nonchalantly. “Why do you need Seven Leaf Lotus?”

The herb was placed on sale in the black market auction to bait the legendary Shangguan family to appear. Since no one from the clan showed up, it remained in the Min family’s possession ever since the auction.

Since it was on Huo Yao’s list of herbs, he sent Zhuo Yun to fetch it.

Huo Yao lowered her head so that Min Yu could not see her face.

Huo Yao quickly closed the lid and straightened her back before she raised her head and looked at Min Yu in surprise. “This herb is just good for improving the physical condition of patients. However, it is hard to find. How did you get your hands on it?”

In reality, she added Seven Leaf Lotus only later without bearing much hope that he could find it. She completely did not anticipate seeing this herb.

“I happened to find it,” replied Min Yu casually as he sat down.

Huo Yao raised her brow. Since he did not want to give more details, she stopped probing.

She went quiet for a few seconds before she said, “How much do I owe you? I will transfer it to you now.”

She pulled out her phone as she spoke.

Min Yu looked at her sideways and said, “You can just pay me a fair sum.”

Huo Yao’s lips twitched. She lowered her eyes and looked at the box in her arms. Based on the recommended prices on Cloud Realm, these were worth tens of millions.

She went quiet for a few seconds before asking. “Are you saying that it is up to me to pay you a fair price?”

Min Yu could already tell what she was thinking through the look in her eyes. However, he did not expose her and simply acknowledged her softly.

Huo Yao cleared her throat before she said casually, “…I think they are worth a few thousand.”

If she did not squeeze this cash cow now, she was uncertain whether the opportunity would ever present itself again.

Huo Yao tapped on her phone and transferred $1000 before Min Yu could reply.

After she transferred the money, she said, “You need to accept the fund transfer.”

A complicated expression swept through Min Yu’s eyes as he sat beside Huo Yao and watched her transfer the money.

Sure enough, it was too much to ask a miser to cough up the money.

Huo Yao lowered her eyes sheepishly when she detected Min Yu looking at her. Her phone happened to ring while she was feeling awkward.

She glanced at the phone number to see it was Fang Ting calling and could not help feeling surprised.

She had given Fang Ting her number when she came by for dinner, but she did not know why Fang Ting suddenly called her.

She quickly hit the answer button.

“…Are you free for lunch today? Perfect. I will send you an address later. See you in a bit.”

Huo Yao hung up the phone.

Since she was speaking at a normal volume, Min Yu heard their conversation clearly. He contemplated before he asked casually. “Did someone ask you out for lunch?”

Huo Yao put her phone away as she replied. “Uh huh. Remember Fang Chen whom we met when we had lunch with Old Mr. Pei? It’s his little sister.”
