Chapter 149: Chapter 149: 720 Million Yuan

Yi Ran and Tang Guan too were speechless.

Who would gift a mystic seed to someone else as a souvenir?

Zhang Wei was stunned and wanted to call back Gu Jin.

"Wait I will call him back and ask him to take this away."

Tang Guan, Xu Mingtao, and Liu Sunhao nodded.

However before Zhang Wei could even open his mouth to call Gu Jin back, Yi Ran said,

"I...I can’t return this back to him."

Towards the end, her eyes were filled with tears and she gritted her teeth.

All 4 members were stunned when they saw tears in her eyes and Liu Sunhao instantly asked,

"What happened? Why are you crying?"

Yi Ran wiped away her tears and said,

"Leader I can’t give it back. I don’t have huge self-esteem like you all. I want to become powerful quickly and without resources, it is impossible to become powerful.

I know I may sound mean, but let’s be honest. If I want to buy this mystic seed with the commission we are receiving now, it will take another 4 years to gather money for the mystic seeds.

I can’t wait that long. Instead, I would prefer to become more powerful quickly, and once our team becomes one of the top mercenaries I would pay him back!"

Yi Ran finished her words and lowered her head.

She wouldn’t have said those words if her situation was different.

Most importantly, she wasn’t doing any illegal thing. She was only accepting the gifts to improve her current situation.

She never said that she wouldn’t gift Su Jin anything. In the future, if she obtains any treasure she will gift it to Su Jin.

Yi Ran’s words made all the other 4 members come to their senses.

After thinking deeply they realized some points.

Su Jin wanted to make the team strong and hence she gifted them the mystic seed.

If he wanted, he could have sold those mystic seeds for money and distributed the money among them but he gifted the mystic seeds...

The mood of all the members turned a bit complex.

...........

Gu Jin returned to the Long Mansion.

She didn’t forget to take Jasmine out.

Originally Gu Jin thought that it would only take 2 years to cure Jasmine but after treating Jasmine for 2 years, Gu Jin realized that she had underestimated the treatment time.

She would require another 1 year.

Soon Gu reached the Long Mansion. When the guards saw Gu Jin carrying Jasmine, they stepped forward to help.

Gu Jin let them take Jasmine back to the room before Gu Jin returned to her own room.

After taking a shower, Gu Jin slept for the next 7 hours.

Now she doesn’t need to give Jasmine treatment every day.

When Gu Jin woke up, it was 11 pm. Feeling hungry Gu Jin went downstairs and saw the head butler.

"Is there anything to eat?" Gu Jin asked.

She wanted to eat some spicy food.

The Head butler had already checked on Jasmine and realized that Jasmine’s condition had improved a lot!

The Head Butler even suspected that Gu Jin was lying to them about taking 3 years to cure Jasmine.

Maybe she is planning to surprise them?

The Head butler looked at Gu Jin with a kind look and asked,

"What do you want to eat?"

"Anything spicy!" Gu Jin said.

"Okay, stay here I will ask the kitchen to make some spicy dishes." Head Butler left after saying his piece.

Gu Jin felt that the head butler was behaving in a weird manner.

The head butler who she knew would keep on taunting, scolding, suspecting, and even lecturing her.

The head butler whom she met just now was just like her kind grandfather.

Gu Jin’s thoughts diverted a little and she started to think about her grandpa.

To not be sad, she always avoided thinking about her grandpa.

But today she wanted to see him very much.

In the 2 years she spent alone on the island, Gu Jin always missed her parents, brother, friends, and grandpa.

She wasn’t affected to the point of getting sad.

No.

Gu Jin was used to missing them.

Even if she was on an island or in her previous life, she was alone all this time, living on the island alone wasn’t difficult for her.

In her previous life, her grandpa was the only person who had accompanied her. To say she saw him as the last person to depend on, wouldn’t be a lie.

Her previous life wasn’t good but at least she was able to look at her grandpa, however, in this life, she didn’t have anyone...

Not to mention she can’t look for her grandpa even if she wants to.

Even without realizing Gu Jin’s aura turned gloomy.

She was so immersed in her emotions that she didn’t notice Long Yifan’s arrival at all.

Long Yifan was stunned when he saw the lost look in Gu Jin’s eyes.

It was as if she was missing a person...

Who? Who was she missing?

Long Yifan felt his heart twisting a bit.

Did she start to love someone else? Or...

Long Yifan couldn’t help but feel bitterness in his heart. He wanted to ask who she was missing but he couldn’t bring himself to ask.

What if the person she is missing is truly her first love or someone whom she started to like now?

Long Yifan walked towards the dining hall and Gu Jin broke from her daze.

Long Yifan realized that even though Gu Jin was dazed, as long as someone entered within 30-meter radii, she would instantly become alert.

Was this still considered a normal reaction?

Gu Jin’s eyes brightened when she saw Long Yifan, however she quickly hid it.

Even though Long Yifan was only able to have a glimpse of it, he was able to identify it.

His cold heart skipped a beat and his previous worry disappeared.

When he realized what he was thinking, Long Yifan scolded himself for being despicable.

He already has a fiance and he can’t think about someone else. Not to mention, if Gu Jin continued to like him, she would only end up being all alone.

Long Yifan’s heart tightened.

Suppressing his complex thoughts, Long Yifan sat in the chair opposite to Gu Jin’s and asked,

"How is my sister?"

The question he wanted to ask was...how are you, but Long Yifan didn’t know that it was wrong.

Gu Jin expected that Long Yifan would ask such a question. He had made it very clear since the beginning that even though he trusted her, he didn’t even consider her as a friend.

To say that the person whom she loved, didn’t even consider her as a friend was truly...

Was it painful? Yes.

But could Gu Jin give up? Gu Jin wanted to close her.

It wasn’t like she didn’t want to give up. But for some damn reason, she wasn’t able to at all.

"She will be completely cured in a year." Gu Jin replied.

Long Yifan was stunned and asked,

"How? Didn’t you say..."

"Yes, originally she required 3 year treatment period. However, I was fortunate enough to land on an island where the time is fast. So she will be completely cured in a year."

"For how many years did you stay there?" Long Yifan asked.

"4 years." Gu Jin said.

"4 years? Then..." Before Long Yifan could finish his words Gu Jin interrupted,

"I wanted to treat for 4 years but I ran out of the herbs."

Long Yifan frowned and said,

"I wasn’t asking why you only treated her for 2 years, I was concerned about how you got the herbs considering they were so precious."

Gu Jin was a bit surprised.

This guy wasn’t too cold...

"I explored the island and found them. I also had a stock of herbs and knew how to grow them, so I rarely ran out of the herbs."

Long Yifan felt grateful.

Without even knowing whether she would be able to leave the island or not, she treated Jasmine from time to time and even grew those herbs to ensure that his sister could have proper treatment.

And he almost suspected her...

Long Yifan leaned on his chair and said,

"Alright just tell me how much you have spent on the herbs and I will remit the money to you."

Gu Jin shook her head,

"No need."

"You curing her is already considered as repaying the payment. I can’t shamelessly ask for more things." Long Yifan said firmly.

Gu Jin chuckled and decided to tell the truth,

"Mr. Long, you might not be able to give me so much money."

No kidding, one set of herbs required for a day costs around 1 million yuan.

She had treated Jasmine for 2 years. Meaning he has to pay around 720 million.

720 million is a huge amount even for Gu Jin in her previous life.

"720 million right?" Long Yifan quickly did the calculation and said the number.
