Romantic Medical Immortal-Chapter 279: Greeting Gift, One Million!

Swish, swish, swish!

Xiao Yuqi’s appearance instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

Being stared at by so many people, Xiao Yuqi paused slightly, clearly not expecting such a crowd in the booth. Most importantly, she didn’t know many of them, making her stand awkwardly on the spot, unable to speak.

"Yu Qi, you came!"

As the mediator, Yang Cheng immediately stood up to welcome Xiao Yuqi.

"Yes." Xiao Yuqi nodded lightly, casting a less-than-pleasant glance.

"Come, let me introduce you."

Yang Cheng pulled Xiao Yuqi into the booth and began introducing her, starting with Chu Xiaoyu.

Each time someone was introduced, Xiao Yuqi would exchange a smile with them as a greeting. When Kong Lingwen was introduced, she showed a hint of surprise, as Yan’s Hall was a rising star in the skincare industry in Peach Blossom County, very popular.

After everyone got acquainted, Yang Cheng guided Xiao Yuqi to take a seat.

Then, he waved at Lu Kun, signaling with his eyes.

Understanding the hint, Lu Kun immediately approached Xiao Yuqi and said gently, "Boss Xiao, I’m really sorry for being impulsive and having a bad attitude when asking for the debt before. But... your Herbal Pavilion indeed owes us money!"

"Please get up!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Seeing Lu Kun bending down, Xiao Yuqi became emotional and immediately helped Lu Kun up, saying, "You don’t need to apologize to me. I should apologize to you; this situation is my fault."

Upon these words, everyone’s eyes were on Xiao Yuqi.

"What do you mean?"

Yang Cheng immediately inquired.

"Sigh!" Xiao Yuqi sighed lightly and looked at Yang Cheng. "Before, I indeed misunderstood Lu Kun. After my investigation, Herbal Pavilion owes Lu Kun two hundred thousand yuan. However, due to some reasons, this account was not recorded in the financial statements or inventory records, so..."

At this point, she looked at Lu Kun and immediately bowed to apologize: "Lu Kun, it was my mistake; I wronged you!"

Goodness gracious.

Seeing both of them apologize, Yang Cheng was momentarily at a loss. He initially thought resolving this conflict would require great effort, but didn’t expect it to be so easy. Moreover, Xiao Yuqi’s attitude was particularly sincere, not fake at all.

"This..."

Evidently, Lu Kun also didn’t expect things to turn out this way. He glanced at Yang Cheng, then at Chu Xiaoyu, with a confused expression.

"Alright, we’re all friends. Since the misunderstanding is cleared, let’s not stand on ceremony."

Yang Cheng immediately pulled Xiao Yuqi up and said, "We’re all straightforward people, so there’s no need for bowing apologies. I want to know how you found out?"

"I called my father. He told me a lot, and then the misunderstanding was cleared."

As she answered, Xiao Yuqi kept her eyes on Lu Kun, examining her cousin closely.

Although Lu Kun usually appeared fierce outside, being watched by Xiao Yuqi, a beauty, he instantly felt awkward, blushing, and immediately looked away, avoiding eye contact with Xiao Yuqi.

Haha!

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Yuqi couldn’t help but chuckle internally. She didn’t expect the usually fierce Lu Kun to be so innocent inside, blushing when stared at by a woman.

This instantly reminded her of Lu Kun’s behavior in the office before.

He was like a rogue, completely different from his current self.

"Don’t stare at him like that!"

Seeing Lu Kun blush, Yang Cheng immediately stopped Xiao Yuqi and said, "Miss Xiao, since the misunderstanding is cleared, what about the two hundred thousand?"

"Bang!!"

Before Yang Cheng could finish, Xiao Yuqi directly placed a silver box on the table, causing a dull sound that echoed loud in the quiet booth.

The next moment, she opened the silver box.

A million in cash was suddenly exposed to the air.

Upon seeing this million in cash, everyone present was momentarily stunned.

Especially Lu Kun, who instinctively took a step back upon seeing the cash, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt.

Yang Cheng also had a bewildered expression, immediately asking, "Yu Qi, what is the meaning of this? You only owe him two hundred thousand, and now you’re giving a million; what does this mean?"

"This is my gift to Lu Kun for our first meeting!"

Xiao Yuqi smiled gently, her smile looking very tender.

A gift for our first meeting?

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned peculiar again, clearly not understanding what Xiao Yuqi meant?

Giving a million as a gift for a first meeting seems too extravagant, doesn’t it?

"No, no, no, I can’t accept this!"

Regaining his senses, Lu Kun quickly waved his hand to refuse, continuing, "I just need two hundred thousand."

"No, you must take this money. It’s my sister’s token of kindness!"

Xiao Yuqi’s face was full of seriousness, staring intensely at Lu Kun.

"Sister?"

Lu Kun was stunned!

Not only Lu Kun, everyone present was confused; evidently, the word ’sister’ made them all sense something was amiss.

Yang Cheng was the first to react, immediately asking, "Yu Qi, what do you mean by sister?"

"Lu Kun is my cousin!"

Xiao Yuqi uttered words that shocked everyone.

Silence!

In an instant, the entire room fell into deathly silence.

Stunned!

At this moment, everyone’s face showed astonishment, especially Lu Kun, whose face suddenly changed, his eyes filled with disbelief. Yet he didn’t speak but looked to Yang Cheng, clearly this statement had a strong psychological impact on him.

Cousin?

He was actually Xiao Yuqi’s cousin.

"What the heck?"

Yang Cheng was stunned for a long time before coming to his senses, staring at Xiao Yuqi and asking, "Yu Qi, you’re not kidding me, are you? How could he be your cousin?"

"He is indeed my cousin."

Xiao Yuqi took a deep breath and said, "This is what my father told me..."

Then, he told everyone about the conversation he had with his father earlier today.

After hearing the story, everyone’s expressions were quite strange; it was unexpected that Lu Kun had such a connection with Xiao Yuqi.

"Aunty Chu, did you know about this?"

Yang Cheng suddenly thought of something and looked at Chu Xiaoyu.

"I... I didn’t know!"

Chu Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, she said, "I am just very familiar with Lu Kun’s father, and I’ve only met his mother twice. At that time, I was puzzled as to how Lv Dahai could marry such a beautiful wife; turns out she was from the Xiao Family, no wonder nobody from her family was present at the wedding!"

"So, take the money, cousin!"

Xiao Yuqi pushed the box towards Lu Kun, smiling warmly.

"I..."

For a moment, Lu Kun was full of conflict, unsure of what to do.

"Take it."

At this point, Yang Cheng stood up and patted Lu Kun’s shoulder, saying, "No matter the circumstances, it’s your cousin’s kind gesture, and after all, a mere million doesn’t mean much to your sister."

"Yes, take it. It’s your sister’s kind gesture, you’re truly family!"

Chu Xiaoyu spoke up.

"Thank you, sister!" With everyone’s persuasion, Lu Kun accepted the million.

"Everyone is happy, not only was the misunderstanding between Lu Kun and Xiao Yuqi resolved, but they successfully recognized each other as family. Today, we must celebrate!"

Yang Cheng was in a great mood and immediately shouted loudly.

The dinner started!

The atmosphere was great, a group of people chatting and laughing, Xiao Yuqi soon became familiar with everyone, and she even sat with Lu Kun, the brother and sister continually reminiscing.

Initially, Lu Kun was a bit awkward, but feeling Xiao Yuqi’s enthusiasm, he gradually opened up, telling his cousin about the hardships over the years, listening to Xiao Yuqi feeling quite sad, secretly thinking, it would have been great to meet sooner.

"Everyone, quiet down!"

After a few drinks, Yang Cheng signaled the group to quiet down, he was about to discuss a new project with Xiao Yuqi.

Upon hearing about the new project, Xiao Yuqi wasn’t unhappy at all; instead, she was very happy. She had been worrying about the mass production of the Beauty Cream, and now, transforming it into a face mask perfectly solved her concerns.

Carefully calculating, it was going to earn much more than before!

Especially upon hearing that she’d have the sales rights for an entire province later, she was even happier; it was assuredly a money-making opportunity, they were going to get rich.

After Xiao Yuqi agreed without hesitation, the atmosphere on site improved even more.

Continue drinking, continue partying!

Unknowingly, three hours had passed, and many were drunk.

Yang Cheng was hugging Lu Kun while drinking when suddenly his phone rang; it was Chu Xiaoyu calling, he immediately looked towards Chu Xiaoyu’s spot, realizing she was nowhere in sight, he took her call immediately.

"Xiaochen, I’m in the restroom, hurry... come save me!!"
