Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 13

After visiting Zhao Yingzi, Sheng Nuan left the hospital room. By this time, she had already learned that Ye Nanxun’s mother was also at this hospital.

Just as she reached the elevator, a conversation between two people came from the nearby safety exit.

“It’s not easy to get Dr. Lawrence to come to H Country. If we had invited him specifically, the cost would have been several times more…”

Then, Sheng Nuan heard Ye Nanxun’s voice, which somewhat low and hoarse, “Please estimate how much money is needed.”

“About three hundred thousand yuan. I’ve tried to use as many insurance-covered medications as possible for your mother. This is already the lowest estimate…”

The stairwell fell into silence. Moments later, a doctor in a white coat walked out, looking helpless.

Sheng Nuan stood there, quickly processing the situation.

She had arranged for Leslie to bring the doctor over, but it was obvious that Ye Nanxun couldn’t afford the treatment.

Next, Sheng Nuan heard Ye Nanxun making a phone call, and it didn’t take long for her to realize that he was contacting an agent… He wanted to sell their house, but the price was being pressed down very low.

The house where Ye Nanxun and his mother lived was a truly old and run-down property in a poor location. With his eagerness to sell, the price was being severely undercut—likely not even enough to cover the surgery, let alone the subsequent treatment and care costs.

So… if she helped him this time, lending money for his mother’s surgery, he would have to be eternally grateful to her, right?

Even if he wasn’t grateful, she shouldn’t be harmed again in the future, right?

With this thought in mind, Sheng Nuan walked towards the emergency exit. Just as she took a few steps, the door to the emergency exit opened, and Ye Nanxun walked out.

His expression was somber, his eyes slightly red, clearly going through intense torment.

Upon seeing Sheng Nuan, he paused momentarily before resuming his steps, eyes straight ahead, intending to walk past her.

“Hey?” Completely ignored, Sheng Nuan was at a loss for words.

Ye Nanxun didn’t respond, nor did he slow down.

Sheng Nuan murmured, “Don’t you want to raise money for your mother’s surgery?”

Ye Nanxun’s stopped in his tracks. He turned his head, looking at her with a blank expression, none of the usual gentleness he pretended to show.

He was obviously in a foul mood, with a lingering redness in his eyes. His gaze was icy as he looked at Sheng Nuan… Back when she managed to outmaneuver her stepmother, it was through a combination of persistence and patience. So, despite Ye Nanxun’s chilly glare, Sheng Nuan merely cleared her throat.

“Well, I was here to visit someone else and just happened to overhear your conversation with the doctor… If you’re having trouble covering your mother’s surgery costs, I can help.”

Ye Nanxun was momentarily stunned, followed by a surge of intense wariness in his eyes. He looked at her quietly, his tone cold. “What exactly do you want?”

Last time, she inexplicably helped him out of a bind and hadn’t contacted him since, nor had she treated him as she used to—teasing or humiliating him… Ye Nanxun had already felt something was off. And now, she was actually offering to help raise money for his mother’s surgery.

Was she trying to become a Bodhisattva?

On the other hand, Sheng Nuan was already a bit dumbfounded.

She knew Ye Nanxun was highly guarded, which was related to the many unfortunate experiences he and his mother had while relying on each other since childhood. But she hadn’t expected that, even in such a life-or-death situation, he would still be so full of suspicion.

Why was she doing this? Of course, it was to gain his favor and reduce his blackening value… She was doing this for her own life!

But, of course, she couldn’t say that.

However, if she didn’t come up with a reasonable explanation now, Ye Nanxun would easily see this as another form of mockery—thinking she was deliberately using his mother’s lack of money for surgery to humiliate him… If his mother didn’t make it through, just like in the original plot, she would be done for as well.

Sheng Nuan opened and closed her mouth several times, failing to come up with a plausible excuse.

At that moment, she saw Ye Nanxun give her a cold glance, then turn to leave…

It’s over!

Sheng Nuan’s heart raced, her scalp tingling. She quickly reached out and grabbed Ye Nanxun’s sleeve: “Don’t go!”

Ye Nanxun stopped and turned back, his eyes dark and unreadable.

Sheng Nuan was certain she had only one chance, otherwise, this mission would truly be beyond saving.

“I…”

Sheng Nuan steeled herself and said, “I’ve taken a liking to you and want to pursue you… As long as you agree, I’ll lend you the money to save your mother.”

Ye Nanxun was instantly stunned.

Caught off guard by her words, he was momentarily at a loss.  When he came to his senses, he was filled with a sense of mockery.

Taken a liking to him?

Did she think he didn’t know how she had chased after Gu Lanfeng, trying to curry favor with him… And now she turned around and said she liked him?

Ye Nanxun inwardly sneered, his face remaining expressionless.

Sheng Nuan had already thrown caution to the wind. She didn’t care about saving face anymore and tried her best to look shy as she gazed at Ye Nanxun, declaring firmly, “As long as you agree to be my boyfriend for six months, I’ll lend you the money for the surgery… Whether you repay it or when you repay it will be up to you. How about that?”

In at most six months, his wealthy father would come to find him. Before that happened, she could use this as an excuse to help him and gain his favor… It had to work, right?

Sheng Nuan didn’t blink as she stared at Ye Nanxun, her eyes full of nervousness and anticipation.

Ye Nanxun was filled with disdain, but at the same time, he had to acknowledge one fact: this was his only chance to save his mother.

If he missed this opportunity, it would be nearly impossible to wait for Dr. Lawrence to come to H Country again, so he really needed this money.

As for Sheng Nuan… She was probably just thinking of some new way to humiliate him.

It didn’t matter. As long as he could save his mother, he could play along with her…

With this thought, Ye Nanxun slowly looked up at Sheng Nuan, speaking each word clearly, “Alright, I agree.”

He added, “I’ll write you an IOU…”

Sheng Nuan immediately transferred four hundred thousand yuan to Ye Nanxun. “Besides the surgery, the follow-up care will definitely cost a lot too. I’m sending you some extra.”

Ye Nanxun looked at the transaction notification, silent.

Sheng Nuan put away her phone, coughed lightly, and tentatively said, “So, um, you’re my boyfriend now. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. As your girlfriend, I won’t stand by and do nothing.”

Ye Nanxun barely perceptibly twitched the corner of his mouth and gave a faint “mm” in response.

Sheng Nuan felt a surge of encouragement and struck while the iron was hot, saying, “Also, since I’m your girlfriend now, even if we don’t end up together, we still have some connection. If I run into difficulties… you’d help me, right?”

Ye Nanxun didn’t take her words seriously at all and responded with a perfunctory hum.

Sheng Nuan let out a big sigh of relief, and her mood immediately improved.

“That’s it… you’re busy, so I’ll visit Auntie another day.”

After saying that, she waved to Ye Nanxun with a smile and turned to leave.

Behind her, Ye Nanxun coldly withdrew his gaze, glanced at the account balance notification again, pursed his lips, and then walked towards the doctor’s office…
