Urban Seduction: Housewives Club-Chapter 346: The Price of Healing
If Ye Fei had said he could cure the girls himself, Gu Xuehan might have been skeptical. But since he mentioned another doctor, and one from the military district at that, she didn’t doubt him at all.
She quickly asked, "Can you help me get in touch with this doctor? Don’t worry, I’ll pay any price!"
"Making contact is definitely not a problem, but there is a catch," Ye Fei said, deliberately pausing for effect.
Gu Xuehan thought he was about to make some outrageous demand. Her face turned pale, but for her sisters, she was willing to sacrifice herself.
She said, "Just tell me what it is!"
Ye Fei inwardly chuckled at Gu Xuehan’s readiness to make sacrifices but couldn’t bear to tease her further. He smiled gently and said, "The issue is money. This amazing doctor, though from the military, isn’t a charity. Her treatments often involve rare herbs and materials, so the fees are usually quite high."
Gu Xuehan thought Ye Fei was implying she should trade her body for the money.
Though she was willing to sacrifice anything for her sisters, she still clung to a last hope and said, "Could you lend me the money? I promise I’ll pay you back."
She looked at Ye Fei nervously, hoping that he, who seemed so kind, wasn’t a complete villain.
"Lending you the money is out of the question," Ye Fei shook his head.
Just as Gu Xuehan felt utterly disappointed, he continued, "But you can earn it yourself. If you join our company, I believe it won’t take more than a year for the medical expenses of your three sisters to be a mere trifle for you."
"Alright, I’ll join!" Gu Xuehan agreed as decisively as she had refused Mu Ling earlier.
For her sisters, she could sacrifice herself, so joining an entertainment company was nothing. She believed that with her determination, she could avoid falling into the trap.
"Very well, let me first introduce you to our company," Ye Fei explained in detail why he was restructuring the company to Gu Xuehan.
He concluded, "Now you can rest easy, right? And if anyone in the company tries to force you into something you don’t like, you can call me... Oh, you seem not to trust me completely. How about calling Mu Ling instead? She’s my personal assistant and can help you with anything. You should trust her, right?"
"Okay, I understand," Gu Xuehan said, feeling a bit embarrassed and guilty for doubting him earlier.
Mu Ling, on the other hand, was both amused and exasperated.
The young man had not only changed his way of addressing her but also assigned her the title of "personal assistant."
It seemed he really wasn’t going to let her go.
For some reason, despite feeling somewhat flustered, she also felt a hint of joy and a touch of sweetness.
With the matter settled, everything else became much easier.
Soon, Gu Xuehan followed Ye Fei and Mu Ling to the company and signed a contract, becoming the second contracted actor of the company—though more amateurish than the first contracted actor, Xu Weier.
After seeing the atmosphere and scale of the company, especially after meeting Situ Ying and Xu Weier, Gu Xuehan felt even more reassured. She inwardly sighed that she had truly encountered good people and silently vowed to work hard to repay Ye Fei’s kindness.
Having sorted this out, Ye Fei noticed that Mu Ling had been avoiding him since returning to the company. He didn’t want to make things awkward here, so he decided to visit Gu Xuehan’s home again to see the three adorable little girls.
Since the company hadn’t officially taken off yet, the Gu sisters were still living in the rented courtyard. However, as soon as he left the company, his phone rang with an unfamiliar number.
Puzzled, he answered the call, and a brash voice immediately came through, "Hey, kid, I’m back. I heard you’re the only one free right now, so come pick me up at the bus station!"
Hearing this voice, Ye Fei couldn’t help but smile bitterly, yet with a hint of warmth. He knew this voice all too well, and among the women in his life, only she could be so tough. It was his tomboyish third sister, Ye Yunying.
"Sis, you’re back? At the long-distance bus station? I’ll be right there!"
Perhaps due to a habit formed since childhood, Ye Fei still acted like a docile kitten in front of his strong-willed third sister. Without a word, he quickly rushed downstairs, started the car, and headed towards the bus station.
Driving at full speed, and since the long-distance bus station was located in the northern part of Wang Hai City, Ye Fei arrived at the station in just over twenty minutes. He parked the car and looked around near the exit, quickly spotting the familiar and attractive figure.
However, Ye Fei was taken aback. Was this girl really his third sister?
Although her appearance was correct, and the figure he had seen many times was also correct, why had she become so tanned in just a short while?
Ye Yunying’s originally fair face had turned into a wheatish color, and her arms, exposed by the short-sleeved T-shirt, were the same.
Although she had lost her former tenderness, she now exuded a different charm, a kind of wild beauty that suited her personality even more.
Seeing his third sister like this, Ye Fei found it quite amusing. He got out of the car, waved in her direction, and called out loudly, "Hey, dark beauty, I’m over here!"
Just as Ye Fei was familiar with Ye Yunying’s voice, she was equally familiar with his. Although he didn’t seem to be calling her directly, she recognized her brother’s voice immediately and turned to look at him, her eyes flashing with delight.
Seeing that her third sister had noticed him, Ye Fei smiled and called out again, "Dark beauty, it’s been a long time!"
Ye Yunying, who was running towards Ye Fei, heard her brother call her that again.
Realizing she had indeed tanned, she understood he was referring to her. She playfully scolded, "You little brat, how dare you call me that!"
She quickly ran up to Ye Fei, jumped, and wrapped her arm around his neck, pinning him under her armpit while whispering, "Don’t tell anyone I’m your sister later!"
At that moment, Ye Fei wasn’t paying attention to what his third sister was saying. Her action of pressing his head down caused his face to be tightly pressed against her soft, ample chest.
The wonderful sensation made Ye Fei feel secretly delighted.
If it weren’t for the crowd around them, he would have loved to gently bite it. However, he felt a bit puzzled. Since that awkward incident, his third sister had become much more shy around him.
Why had she reverted back after this trip?
To get back at Ye Fei for giving her a nickname, Ye Yunying kept the headlock for a while. She only released him when the girls who had been standing with her earlier caught up, but she smoothly took his arm instead.
"Wow! He’s really handsome, just like Yunying said!" one of the girls who ran over exclaimed.
Then she changed her tone and added, "But he seems a few years younger than Yunying, doesn’t he?"
"It’s a sister-brother romance. Didn’t you see Yunying just now, feeding him with her... you know," another girl teased.
"Hey, cutie, how does Yunying’s taste?"
Only then did Ye Fei realize that his sister had been boasting about him to her friends. No wonder she didn’t want him to call her sister.
Judging by their jokes, they must have a great relationship.

However, although these girls were pretty, they were no match for Ye Yunying. Ye Fei had no interest in them and simply gave a faint smile in response.
