Big Shot Little Jiaojiao Breaks Her Persona Again

Chapter 216: Name a Price

Chi Jiao and Xu Lingling went to the flower bed downstairs.

“Name your price,” Xu Lingling said slowly as she looked at her proudly.

Chi Jiao looked at her in confusion. She didn’t understand what she was doing.

“Didn’t you save my brother?” Xu Lingling had a strange expression on her face. She still felt guilty at the mention of this matter, but she couldn’t admit her mistake so easily due to her pride. “Name a price. How much is the medicine you gave my brother?”

“Are you sure you want to pay?” Chi Jiao curled her lips into a smile.

“Of course! Our family doesn’t want to owe you a favor!” Xu Lingling rolled her eyes at her.

If it was something that could be solved with money, it would be best to do so.

Otherwise, based on the way her parents did things, wouldn’t they worship the person who saved her brother like she was their ancestor?

Therefore, she wanted to use her pocket money to pay for the medicine so that her parents wouldn’t have this matter on their minds.

As long as Chi Jiao accepted the money, their relationship with her would be settled.

“Two stalks of Dragon’s Breath Grass were used in that medicinal pill. The market price for one stalk of Dragon’s Breath Grass is 100,000 yuan, two stalks are 200,000 yuan, and together with all sorts of valuable medicinal herbs, it’s a total of 500,000 yuan,” Chi Jiao said indifferently.

“How much?” Xu Lingling was stunned. She thought she was hallucinating.

“500,000 is a friendly price, on the account that Xu Ye is my deskmate. The price can’t be any lower than that.” Chi Jiao’s tone remained indifferent.

“A lousy pill like that costs 500,000 yuan? Chi Jiao, are you crazy because of a lack of money?” Xu Lingling glared at her.

Chi Jiao looked at her with her innocent doe eyes in neither humble nor arrogant manner. “That lousy pill saved your brother’s life. Is your brother’s life not worth 500,000 yuan in your eyes?”

Xu Lingling immediately became like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She shouted fiercely, “Don’t talk nonsense! My brother’s life is very precious! As for you, I don’t know where the medicine you gave him came from. It might even be an unbranded product. And yet, you still dare to ask for such a high price. You’re really greedy.”

“Greedy?” Chi Jiao seemed to have heard a joke as she laughed softly. “You can think whatever you want. If you sincerely want to pay me for the medicine, then I’m telling you, it’s 500,000 yuan. Not a single cent less.”

She had never planned to sell the medicine she had fed Xu Ye.

If Xu Lingling hadn’t asked her to state the price, she wouldn’t have thought of going to the Xu family to collect the money.

But now that they had come knocking on her door, she didn’t want to have much to do with the Xu family anymore. She was just collecting money according to the market price.

Indeed, different professions were different worlds. Xu Lingling didn’t know anything, and Chi Jiao couldn’t be bothered to explain.

Xu Lingling pursed her lips and looked at her with a conflicted expression.

500,000 yuan was not a small sum for ordinary people. For Xu Lingling, who still had to rely on her parents for pocket money, it was not a small sum either.

Although their family was not short of money, her mother did not like her and her brother to adopt the habit of splurging. Therefore, the allowance that she gave them was fixed at 10,000 yuan per person every month.

Moreover, she loved to buy clothes and cosmetics usually. In addition, she often went out to play with her friends. Therefore, she always finished her allowance every month. The savings she had were from the red packets given by the elders in her family during the Lunar New Year.

She had been saving for a few years, only to save up 500,000 yuan.

Xu Lingling couldn’t help but wonder if Chi Jiao had calculated that she had this amount, which was why she had asked for such a price.
