The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 114, Who are you calling a dog? (Second update)

"Mr. Bai, what did she exchange with you? You can’t just leave us hanging and then send us away like this," a burly-looking man said from within the crowd.

"Yeah, we have to know what treasure she gave you in exchange," another person chimed in.

Wei Nan’s expression grew serious as his gaze shifted past Mr. Bai to the woman wearing the fang mask.

Having someone cut in line halfway was truly intolerable.

Mr. Bai looked apologetic, "I am truly sorry. How about this? Today, all the medicinal materials you buy here will be at a 20% discount as a gesture of my apology."

"Mr. Bai, we’re reasonable people; we just want to satisfy our curiosity about what treasure that lady exchanged with you. Why don’t you tell everyone," Li Jingjie said with a sinister look in his eyes as he stared at the dark silhouette, his face breaking into a smile.

Faced with the crowd’s aggressive questioning, Mr. Bai appeared to be in a difficult position.

"This..."

"What I exchange with Mr. Bai is none of your business, must be voluntary," a cool voice interjected timely, breaking the encirclement around Mr. Bai.

Ye Jiuliang took the dark-colored brocade box from the middle-aged man, glanced at the Golden Snow Ginseng inside, closed it, and tucked it directly into his pocket.

"Doesn’t it feel out of line to be so aggressively inquisitive here?"

"We’ve been waiting so long for this Golden Snow Ginseng, and it ended up in your hands. We all just want to know what you exchanged with Mr. Bai; that’s not too much to ask, right?" the man standing next to Li Jingjie said.

"No one asked you to wait. Besides, what sister exchanges with Mr. Bai is none of your business," the boy in the fox mask said haughtily, casually toying with an apple he had produced from nowhere.

"A dog that meddles in the affairs of others as a busybody often brings misfortune upon itself," he said with a playful chuckle.

With just a few words, he had put down those who had just spoken.

The onlookers’ faces turned extremely ugly, and some, unable to contain their temper, barked, "You little brat, what are you saying? Are you calling us dogs?"

The cherry-colored lips visible beneath the mask curved into a mischievous smile, "I just said it in passing; if anyone feels the shoe fits, that’s not something I can help with."

The youth paused, turning his head to look at Ye Jiuliang with an amused smile, "Isn’t that right, sister?"

A gust of wind came head-on, and Ye Jiuliang reached out to catch the bright red apple that entered her vision.

She held the apple, her eyes sparkling with starry light.

"Mr. Bai, it’s getting late; I won’t disturb you any longer."

Mr. Bai nodded, his voice low, "It’s dark, be careful on your way."

Leaving Mola Street safely with this Golden Snow Ginseng on her would not be easy.

Ye Jiuliang pressed her lips into a smile, seemingly oblivious as she walked to the door.

As she passed by the youth, she paused and casually tossed the apple back to him.

The youth looked down at the apple that was thrown back to him, stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, Ye Jiuliang had already walked out.

He became anxious and hurriedly followed her out, "Sister, wait for me."

He had finally met her, and he was not about to be left behind.

The cold wind whistled, and the twisting, uneven alleys were full of potholes.

The "tap, tap" of footsteps was rapid and chaotic.

"Sister, wait for me." The youth shouted all the way, his crisp voice gradually becoming hoarse.

Hearing his voice, the dark figure up ahead quickened her pace.
