Chapter 145 I Offer Double the Price
Nan Qiao subconsciously shrank back, raised her hand to touch her slightly hot cheek, her eyes dodging, and replied somewhat unnaturally: "It's okay, maybe it's because I just ran here, so my face is red."
Jiang Linkai finally felt relieved and said with a smile, "I'm glad you're okay."
"By the way, Grandpa has people prepare a lot of delicious food in the backyard, including drinks, snacks, and cakes. Let's go over there and eat something. Maybe eating something will make your stomach feel better."
Nan Qiao nodded slightly and replied, "Yeah, okay." Then she followed Jiang Linkai towards the backyard where the food was placed.
On the lush grass in the backyard, there are several exquisite dessert tables. The light pink tablecloths gently cover the tabletops, with beautiful pleats at the edges, swaying gently in the breeze.
There is a wide variety of desserts on the dessert table.
Colorful macarons are neatly arranged, and delicate cupcakes are topped with fluffy cream and garnished with fresh fruits.
There are also those small pieces of tiramisu, the rich aroma of coffee and mellow cheese flavor seem to be wafting out from the delicate layers.
On the table nearby, bottles of drinks lay, their transparent glass bottles reflecting a rainbow of colors in the sunlight. There were bubbling sodas, their cheerful bubbles dancing as if evoked the energy of summer; there were also freshly squeezed juices, orange-yellow and bright-red watermelon, each exuding a refreshing, natural aroma.
Not far away, several bottles of red wine stood quietly, the deep purple-red liquid in the glass bottles looking mysterious and noble.
At this time, some people had gathered around the dessert table, most of them were the younger generations who came with their adults.
They sit together in groups of three or five, laughing and talking happily, holding desserts or drinks in their hands, and enjoying this leisurely time.
On the grass in the backyard, people were sitting or standing, and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. Lan Yuchen and Pang Min were among them.
Lan Yuchen wore a well-tailored dark suit, paired with an exquisite tie and shiny leather shoes, exuding an elite air; Pang Min wore a gorgeous slim dress, accessorized with dazzling jewelry, and had exquisite makeup, showing off her haughty demeanor.
Nan Qiao and Jiang Linkai walked over together. Jiang Linkai asked Nan Qiao considerately, "Nan Qiao, what would you like to drink? I'll get it for you."
After getting the answer, Jiang Linkai turned and walked towards where the drinks were placed.
After Jiang Linkai left, Pang Min and Lan Yuchen walked towards Nan Qiao together.
As Pang Min approached, she acted condescending and looked down on Nan Qiao. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of disdain, and said sarcastically, "I really can't understand how you, who grew up in an orphanage, could get so much money to buy genuine thousand-year-old ginseng?"
After hearing this, Nan Qiao just smiled indifferently, and there was a kind of detached calmness in that smile.
She slowly lowered her eyes, looking at Pang Min as if she were an ant, and said in a calm but somewhat sarcastic tone, "Some people are so shallow that they naturally can't figure it out."
When Pang Min heard this, her face flushed with anger. She widened her eyes and raised her voice, saying, "I forgot that you also have a patent for the nano-repair machine."
"You wouldn't be so foolish as to sell the patent for the nano-repair machine just for a little profit, would you?"
Lan Yuchen, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. A slightly displeased look appeared on his face. He looked at Nan Qiao and asked anxiously, "Have you really sold the patent? If you haven't, I'm willing to pay double the price for it."
Lan Yuchen stood there with an upright posture, and his well-tailored dark suit made him look even more capable and steady.
He frowned slightly, knowing full well what it meant to obtain the patent for the nano-repair machine.
That is not just a piece of authorization, it means being able to proudly walk at the forefront of the medical field.
With this unique medical device production technology, a family or a company can have an unshakable position in the medical field and become an existence that everyone looks up to.
Lan Hanwen had watched the opportunity slip away before, and this time he really didn't want to miss it again.
Nan Qiao's lips curled up into a mocking smile. He looked at Lan Yuchen with cold eyes and slowly asked, "Do you think that given the irreconcilable relationship between me and the Lan family, I would still be willing to sell the patent of the nano-repair machine to you?"
"Oh, even if no one is interested in this patent after it is authorized, I will never let it have even the slightest connection with your Lan family. You, the Lan family, don't deserve it!"
Lan Yuchen frowned upon hearing this, a trace of embarrassment and helplessness flashing across his face. He paused, then continued, "I know there were some misunderstandings between the Lan family and you before, and now Lan Xuxue has been imprisoned for what she did."
"If you're willing to come back and explain things clearly to your parents, I believe they will forgive you."
Nan Qiao seemed to have heard a huge joke and burst out laughing. The laughter was particularly harsh in the air.
She raised her voice and said mercilessly: "Lan Yuchen, please understand the situation now. It is your Lan family who needs me now, not me who needs the Lan family!"
"Before, you cut off all ties with me without any reason because of Lan Xuxue. She targeted me time and time again, but you all defended her. In your eyes, I'm not even a relative!"
"Now, you finally know that Lan Xuxue is a complete idiot, and I'm the one who can benefit the development of the Lan family. Now you want me to return to the Lan family?"
"The Lan family really values profit over family affection. Lan Yuchen, how can you Lan family be so shameless!"
Nan Qiao's eyes were filled with anger and disdain as she stared straight at Lan Yuchen, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and injustices she had suffered over the years through this gaze.
Lan Yuchen lowered his head, pursed his lips, and couldn't say a word, because Nan Qiao's sharp words were like sharp blades, piercing the crux of the matter, leaving him no way to refute.
Pang Min, who was standing by, felt unhappy when he saw Lan Yuchen being bullied.
A trace of anger flashed across her delicate face, and she couldn't help but raise her voice and say, "Nan Qiao, who do you think you are? Just because you have a crappy patent for a nano-repair machine, you dare to show off and do whatever you want? You really think you're that important!"
When Nan Qiao heard this, he calmly turned his head to look at Pang Min, and suddenly a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with a hint of cunning that seemed to see through everything.
She said slowly, "Pang Min, do you think that if you sincerely help Lan Yuchen here, he will love you more and more? Humph, don't be so naive."
