Shen Lang went downstairs and strolled alone in the courtyard.
It had to be said, the courtyard was indeed beautiful, with green bricks, blue tiles, small bridges, and flowing water, which made people feel good just looking at it.
However, as Shen Lang was sighing, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Shen Lang, what are you doing here?"
It was a woman's voice, but unlike Yu Xiao's sweet and gentle tone, it was aggressive and imperious.
Hearing this voice, Shen Lang was startled. He turned around and saw Ye Shishi standing behind him.
At this moment, Ye Shishi had changed out of her work uniform, and her hair was no longer tied up high.
She was dressed in a purple gown, with her long hair cascading down to her waist, making her even more beautiful, but also more aloof.
"Oh, it's Shishi."
Seeing Ye Shishi appear, Shen Lang put on a roguish smile and said, "What are you doing here?"
Hearing Shen Lang call her "Shishi," for some reason, Ye Shishi's heart trembled.
Growing up, due to her exceptional talent, her peers kept their distance from her, ostracizing her. No one had ever called her by her name like this.
For some unknown reason, hearing Shen Lang call her this way, Ye Shishi felt an unprecedented sense of intimacy.
For the first time, Ye Shishi suddenly had the urge to smile at a man.
But, reason told Ye Shishi not to.
Ye Shishi collected herself, looked at Shen Lang, and said coldly, "I asked you first, answer me."
However, as soon as Ye Shishi finished speaking, Shen Lang suddenly leaned in and grabbed her delicate, crystal-clear white hand.
"Face is flushed, pulse is rapid. This is due to excessive worry, qi deficiency, and invasion by evil qi, leading to heart impediment."
"Not good, Shishi, your condition is very serious. You must be treated promptly, otherwise, your heart will be exhausted, and your life will be in danger."
"What?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Ye Shishi frowned and said in shock, "You can actually see that there's something wrong with my body?"
For the past year, Ye Shishi had felt restless, often waking up in the middle of the night, feeling listless and exhausted.
She had seen doctors, but they only told her it was due to overwork and lack of rest, and that she needed to rest well.
However, no matter how much Ye Shishi rested, it was of no use.
In the past month, she had become increasingly anxious and irritable, especially increasingly averse to men.
"How can this symptom of mine be treated?"
Ye Shishi looked at Shen Lang and asked.
"Diagnosis is free, but treatment is not."
Hearing Ye Shishi's question, Shen Lang took two steps back, extending his right hand: "You have to pay."
"You're talking to me about money?"
Ye Shishi was incredulous.
Ever since she could remember, from the age of nine, no boy had dared to be as presumptuous as Shen Lang.
Didn't Shen Lang know who she was? She was Ye Shishi.
"If I don't talk about money, should I talk about love?"
Shen Lang rolled his eyes at Ye Shishi and said, "If I were to fall in love with you, what would you do?"
"Scram—"
Ye Shishi sneered coldly and said, "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."
Shen Lang, hearing this, looked resigned and said, "Yes, my dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Aren't you not a dog's mouth? Why don't you try spitting out ivory for me to see?"
"You—"
Seeing Shen Lang's rogue-like demeanor, Ye Shishi gritted her teeth in anger and said coldly, "One million, cure me."
Ye Shishi was not an ordinary woman; she was an ambitious woman.
Ye Shishi's current achievements were already unattainable in the eyes of outsiders.
But for Ye Shishi, she was never satisfied with what she had.
Her ambition was to make Zhongzhou Bank exist in every corner of Longguo, to become a presence that could contend with, or even surpass, the four major banks.
And Ye Shishi knew how poor her current physical condition was. In less than two months, she would have trouble even working normally.
For the ambitious Ye Shishi, this was absolutely unacceptable.
If she could not achieve her ideal of ruling the world with Zhongzhou Bank, then for Ye Shishi, living would be more painful than dying.
At this moment, seeing Shen Lang, Ye Shishi was like a drowning person who had found a straw, desperately holding onto this life-saving straw with all her might.
"Deal."
Shen Lang looked at Ye Shishi and smiled brightly, "Transfer the money to my bank account. I will treat you in three days."
"Why three days later?"
Hearing this, Ye Shishi angrily said, "I can have the money transferred to your bank account now. I want you to treat me now."
"I said three days later, then it's three days later. What's with all the nonsense?"
Shen Lang took out his phone and handed it to Ye Shishi, saying, "Enter your phone number yourself, and I'll contact you then."
"Hmph—"
Seeing this, Ye Shishi snorted angrily, but she quickly saved her phone number on Shen Lang's phone.
"Slap————"
After saving her phone number, Ye Shishi threw the phone back to Shen Lang and said, "In half an hour, your bank card will have an extra million. Please check the message."
"So prompt?"
Shen Lang said with a smile, "Aren't you worried that I'll take the money and run?"
"Is that possible?"
Ye Shishi sneered, "I, Ye Shishi, have money, but every penny I have is hard-earned. No one can take a single cent from me without working for it."
"If you run, I'll spend a hundred million to hunt you down, to the ends of the earth, until death."
"This..."
Hearing Ye Shishi's words, Shen Lang sighed, "Shishi, as a girl, you should be gentler, you understand? Such strong killing intent is not good for your body."
"Hmph—"
Ye Shishi snorted coldly, but did not speak this time.
Suddenly, Ye Shishi realized that Shen Lang had not answered her question yet, and said again, "Why are you here?"
"Of course, someone invited me."
Shen Lang pointed at Lin Tianxiong, who was slowly coming downstairs and had already reached them, and said, "It was him. To invite me, he resorted to any means necessary. First, he rolled on the ground crying and begging. When I didn't agree, he immediately knelt down and pleaded."
"When I still didn't agree, he poked out one of his own eyes and threatened me that if I didn't agree, he would die right in front of me."
"It's just outrageous, utterly outrageous."
Shen Lang spread his hands, looking helpless, and said, "For his life, I finally came here reluctantly."
You bastard.
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Lin Tianxiong almost fell to the ground. This scoundrel was simply too shameless.
Not to mention how fake the performance of rolling on the ground, crying, and begging was, but also, how did his eye get blind? Didn't he know?
Similarly, Ye Shishi heard Shen Lang's words and looked incredulous. She asked Lin Tianxiong, "Uncle Xiong, is what he said true?"
Lin Tianxiong was about to say that this brat was talking nonsense.
However, at this moment, Lin Tianxiong saw the golden needles in Shen Lang's hand slowly sliding out of his sleeve with his remaining left eye.
Lin Tianxiong, fearing that his remaining eye would also be shot, quickly said, "Yes... it's true, what he said is true."
