Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Three-Person Conversation 1
Translator: 549690339 —
Master Xu, please take a seat,” Fan Chengxu invited Wei Ruo to sit down.
Wei Ruo promptly took her seat.
Before sitting down, Wei Ruo deliberately didn’t directly greet Chu Lan or show any form of courtesy. As Xu Heyou, her current identity, she shouldn’t be acquainted with the Seventh Prince. So prior to Chu Lan’s introduction of his identity, it was right for her not to pay her respects.
“Do you not recognize me?”
The moment Wei Ruo sat down, Chu Lan’s questioning voice rang out.
Wei Ruo’s heart jolted once again. Her fearsome suspicion was now almost completely confirmed.
“Who is this gentleman?” Wei Ruo feigned ignorance as she asked.
“Zhu Zongyu,” declared Chu Lan.
“So, this is what Master Zhu looks like,” Wei Ruo pretended to be surprised. Thanks to you, the scars on my face are almost invisible,” Chu Lan said.
At the moment, Chu Lan’s face still bore some faint scars, but they weren’t readily visible unless looked at closely.
“If Master Zhu continues the treatment for another half year, these remaining marks should be able to disappear,” Wei Ruo answered her, trying as best she could to appear normal and not give anything away.
At this time, the only thing on Wei Ruo’s mind was that she couldn’t let Chu Lan discover her true identity.
“Alright. When the medicine finishes, I’ll trouble Master Xu to prepare more for me, “Chu Lan said.
111 prepare it on time and leave it at the mansion, like before. You can just send someone to pick it up at the mansion,” Wei Ruo replied.
The less they see each other, the better.
Okay.” Then Chu Lan asked Wei Ruo, “You want to discuss business with Brother Qingyuan?”
“Yes.”
Wei Ruo avoided Chu Lan’s gaze, missing the times when his eyes were hidden behind a veil and his hat. At least then, she didn’t have to face his direct gaze.
If there is anything you need help with, just let me know. I owe you a lifesaving favor. If there is an opportunity, let me repay some of it.”
“Master Zhu, please don’t be so polite. I treated you for a diagnosis fee. You really don’t have to worry about it,” Wei Ruo quickly explained.
If she had known he was Chu Lan back then, she definitely wouldn’t have saved him!
Hearing this, Chu Lan’s eyes darkened. Everyone else tried as much as possible to describe their act of saving others as selfless and noble. However, Xu Heyou insisted on doing the opposite. Every time the topic arises, he never fails to mention that it was for monetary gain.
Chu Lan didn’t know if this was really his character, or if he was just like this with him.
Seeing that the two mentioned him, Fan Chengxu timely chimed in: “Master Xu, since you’ve met Brother Zongyu today, why not take the opportunity to check his injuries? He was injured a few days ago, and the wounds haven’t fully healed yet.”
Chu Lan could die anywhere else, and Fan Chengxu wouldn’t mind, but not here.
Wei Ruo wasn’t surprised at all to hear of Chu Lan’s injuries. The recent battle had been fierce and heavy with casualties, and Chu Lan was part of it.
However, Wei Ruo didn’t want to treat Chu Lan’s wounds again, so she excused herself, “Now that there should be a doctor with superb medical skills treating Master Zhu, I will not interfere.”
