Chapter 354 Who doesn't have a money-grubbing streak?
"I'll take it first. If I really see a fairy, you can give me one of these pills." Jiang Youli said as she rummaged through the medicine box and pulled out a bottle of medicine, shaking it in her hand.
To be honest, Jiang Youli is indeed highly skilled in medicine, but her medical experience in cases of mushroom poisoning is relatively limited. However, this did not affect her determination to try mushrooms.
Qi Huan looked at the medicine bottle in Jiang Youli's hand, a slight smile appearing on her lips, and said softly, "Okay."
Having received Qi Huan's response, Jiang Youli felt relieved and began to enjoy her meal. She popped each mushroom into her mouth, chewing and savoring them, the unique freshness and deliciousness making her exclaim, "These mushrooms are absolutely delicious!"
After finishing her meal, Jiang Youli suddenly saw colorful little sprites floating before her eyes, as if inviting her to play. Excitedly, Jiang Youli pointed at the sprites and shouted to Qi Huan, "Haha, Huanhuan, look how you turned into a Smurf! So cute..."
Qi Huan found it somewhat amusing to watch Jiang Youli gesturing wildly, but at the same time, she also found her appearance exceptionally adorable.
Jiang Youli continued to revel in her own fantasy world. Pointing to the open space around her, she exclaimed in surprise, "How come there are so many flowers growing here? They're so beautiful!"
Looking at Jiang Youli's appearance, Qi Huan sighed inwardly, realizing that she had truly been poisoned by the mushrooms.
As he was thinking, Jiang Youli suddenly reached out and pinched his cheek, muttering, "Oh, this little elf's cheeks are so soft, they feel so nice..."
Qi Huan looked helpless, but could only let her knead her face as she pleased.
After a while, Jiang Youli seemed to have had enough fun, and Qi Huan then poured out a pill from the wooden bottle as she had just instructed.
The pill was completely black and emitted a faint herbal scent.
Qi Huan carefully took it in her hand and then gently put it into Jiang Youli's mouth.
However, Jiang Youli seemed unwilling to swallow the pill. She kept her lips tightly closed and refused to open her mouth no matter how Qi Huan tried to persuade her.
Qi Huan suddenly had a brilliant idea, so she coaxed softly, "The little elf just gave you a magic candy. If you swallow it quickly, you can turn into a cute little elf too!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Youli's eyes lit up immediately, and she excitedly exclaimed, "Great!"
Then he immediately sat up straight, opened his mouth without hesitation, and swallowed the pill.
Not long after eating, Jiang Youli's clear and foolish eyes became insightful.
She blinked, bewildered. "Was I hallucinating just now?"
Qi Huan nodded, replied "Yes," and then asked with concern, "How are you now? Do you feel unwell?"
Jiang Youli took out a silver needle from her medicine kit and needle pouch and stuck it into an acupoint on her head. Then she said with a wry smile, "This mushroom is really powerful. Ordinary people really shouldn't try it at home."
She paused for a moment, then asked Qi Huan, "There are some other mushrooms, would you like to try them too?"
Qi Huan smiled and said, "Okay."
Since there weren't many mushrooms left, Qi Huan felt a little dizzy after eating them, but she didn't experience the hallucinations that Jiang Youli had just had.
Jiang Youli then gave him only one stimulant.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Youli began to treat Qi Huan.
After finishing the treatment for Qi Huan, Jiang Youli gently squeezed his knee and asked, "I asked you to try putting weight on your feet before. How do you feel now? Can you still support yourself?"
Qi Huan nodded and replied, "It's possible, but it will hurt a lot."
Jiang Youli nodded understandingly and comforted her, "This is normal. After all, you haven't been injured for long and need time to recover. According to my previous estimate, you should be able to move freely by the end of December. During this time, you should try to get up and support yourself with your crutches every day. If you feel it's okay, slowly move forward one or two steps. Don't rush."
"Okay, I understand." Qi Huan looked at Jiang Youli with tenderness in her eyes and said softly, "Happy birthday, Xiao Li'er."
Jiang Youli paused slightly, looked up at Qi Huan, and smiled slightly. "Didn't you already say that last night?"
Qi Huan smiled and said, "I want to tell you again in person, happy birthday."
A warm feeling welled up in Jiang Youli's heart. She looked at Qi Huan and smiled, "So, Huanhuan, what gift did you prepare for me?"
Qi Huan did not answer Jiang Youli directly, but said, "I heard from An'an that Duan Jinghan originally planned to give you the shares of the food delivery group that his father gave him as a birthday gift."
"I heard that's how it is, but the condition is that he has to cancel his engagement with you and get engaged to him instead," Jiang Youli said.
In fact, from the moment he started pursuing her, Duan Jinghan was very willing to spend money on her. He almost never spent the money he earned from delivering food on himself, but saved it to buy her gifts.
However, Jiang Youli sent most of the valuable items back.
Qi Huan said, "As a fellow man, I think his courage is commendable."
"Afraid I'll fall for you?" Jiang Youli teased.
“If you’re really interested, I’ll offer you even more attractive terms to keep you,” Qi Huan said earnestly.
Jiang Youli raised an eyebrow. "If that's really the case, don't you think I'm greedy for money?"
"In this world, who doesn't love money? If the woman I like doesn't like money, wouldn't I still lack a competitive edge even if I earned so much money?" Qi Huan said frankly with a smile. "I wouldn't dare to associate with those so-called high-minded people who regard money as dirt."
Jiang Youli stared at his authoritative face and said, "It's okay, you're still competitive. A rich woman like me really likes your face."
Qi Huan was amused by her directness once again. "So the thing I should do most in the future is not to work hard to make money, but to take good care of my face."
"That's not true. How can you take good care of yourself if you don't have money? So having money is also very necessary," Jiang Youli said bluntly.
After the jokes were over, Qi Huan asked, "How do you plan to deal with Long Yuan and Jiang Yangxu's plans at tonight's birthday party?"
“It’s simple. I’ll have someone secretly follow Qin Yulian and rescue her when she’s in danger. Then we’ll catch that professional assassin that Long Yuan specially hired from Russia. If things go wrong, Long Yuan will definitely pin all the blame on Jiang Yangxu,” Jiang Youli analyzed. “In short, we can use this opportunity to send Jiang Yangxu in to keep Second Master Long company.”
Qi Huan cautioned, "The other party is a professional assassin with twelve years of experience who has never failed. Are you confident that your men can rescue and capture the person from him?"
Jiang Youli said confidently, "I'm here to help. They may be experienced in dealing with people, but the poisonous insects and snakes I summon are impossible to defend against."
