CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 149: BURN HER HOUSE DOWN

Xie Mingyu has fainted.

The Xie Family hurriedly lifted him into the car, and Ye Ningwan was also begged by the Xie Family to get in.

He was too eager for success, waking at a time he shouldn’t have, leading to severe physical exhaustion.

That’s why he couldn’t hold on and fainted.

"Divine Doctor Bai Zhi, how is our young master?" a Xie Family servant urgently asked.

"He won’t die."

The servants breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, he’ll be half-dead," Ye Ningwan added eerily.

The servants’ urgency returned to their faces.

"So, you shouldn’t have let him out," Ye Ningwan sternly scolded.

The servants looked aggrieved: "We couldn’t stop him. The young master woke up, realized you weren’t there, and insisted on finding you. Coincidentally, he also received a letter, so he became even more anxious, and no one could stop him."

"A letter? What letter?" Ye Ningwan asked, eyes deepening.

The servant’s face showed difficulty.

Ye Ningwan snorted coldly, tossing Xie Mingyu’s wrist aside: "If none of you want to talk, then I don’t want to treat him. After all, I’ve fulfilled my obligations to the Xie Family. If he wants to dig his own grave, no one can stop him."

"Divine Doctor Bai Zhi, please don’t say that," the servant pleaded fearfully.

"Bring that letter to me," Ye Ningwan said coldly.

Unable to do otherwise, afraid Ye Ningwan would abandon them, the servant handed over the letter.

Fortunately, their young master had it with him.

After reading it, he wanted to go over, so naturally, he carried it with him.

Ye Ningwan took and read it once.

The general meaning was that she was meeting Zhan Hanjue here.

Once, she was Zhan Hanjue’s wife, but only married him to collect herbs for him.

Now, Zhan Hanjue has come looking for trouble.

So, she was in danger now.

Ha, who was so "kind-hearted" to write such a letter to Xie Mingyu?

Ye Ningwan frowned, thinking first of Jin Yingzi.

She knew the meeting place and was aware of what had happened between her and Zhan Hanjue.

So, it’s quite normal to sow discord by writing such a letter.

Indeed, being too kind makes one easy to exploit.

"Yu’er, how are you?"

The car returned home, and Old Sir Xie, upon hearing his dear grandson fainted, quickly ran over.

Upon seeing Ye Ningwan also there, Old Sir Xie finally relaxed.

"With Miss Ye here, Mingyu will be fine."

"Sir, I’ve told you before, if Young Master Xie takes good care of himself, living to your age wouldn’t be a problem. But if he courts death himself, no one can save him," Ye Ningwan sternly reminded with a cold face.

Old Sir Xie nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Miss Ye is right. I will certainly advise him in the future. But he was just worried about Miss Ye’s safety, so he was in a hurry to go over. Miss Ye, you’re okay, right? I’ve heard that this Zhan Hanjue is not an easy person to deal with."

"Sir, you’re too old to listen to hearsay, aren’t you? He and I were once married; I know whether he is easy to get along with or not, so there’s no need for you to worry. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. Xie Mingyu just needs to continue recuperating. When he wakes up, drink the Chinese medicine I gave, and everything will be fine."

"Miss Ye, have you considered my previous proposal?" Old Sir Xie asked.

Ye Ningwan replied, "I appreciate your kindness, but my fortune is too meager to accept. Young Master Xie is exceptional and naturally will find a suitable match among the distinguished ladies. Count me out."

"But I see my grandson is quite fond of you," Old Sir Xie said.

Ye Ningwan coldly laughed: "Young Master Xie always gets what he wants. He should face rejection at least once, which counts as an education in setbacks."

"Alright then, if Miss Ye disagrees, we won’t insist. However, as long as Miss Ye is willing, the Xie Family’s doors are always open for you," Old Sir Xie assured.

Ye Ningwan thanked him and left unwaveringly.

However, before the car reached home, she saw a plume of black smoke rising ahead.

Ye Ningwan was startled and quickly ordered the driver to speed up.

After the car stopped, Ye Ningwan ran out of it, and indeed, her house was on fire.

Ye Shao.

Ye Ningwan’s heart sank, and she immediately rushed inside.

"Ye Shao? Ye Shao?"

"Sis, I’m here, don’t go in. The fire is too big."

Ye Shao suddenly rushed over and stopped her.

Seeing Ye Shao safe and sound, Ye Ningwan finally breathed a sigh of relief, tightly hugging him: "You child, as long as you’re okay."

Ye Shao was deeply moved.

In this world, only his sister cared so much for him.

"What happened? How did it catch fire?"

Calming down, Ye Ningwan released him and asked.

Ye Shao shook his head: "I don’t know. I was reading when I suddenly smelled smoke. When I ran out, the house was already on fire. I didn’t dare stay inside, dialed 119, and the firefighters hadn’t arrived when you came back."

Just then, the firefighters arrived.

They got out of the vehicle and began putting out the fire with extinguishers.

Thankfully, the fire was quickly put out.

However, the house was too damaged to live in.

This fire came suspiciously, like arson.

So Ye Ningwan called the police.

But for the time being, the police couldn’t find anything, fortunately, everyone was safe.

After the firefighters and police left, the siblings faced the ruins and sighed.

"Sis, where will we stay tonight?"

"A hotel! Let’s find a hotel for now."

"But my ID was burned in the fire too," Ye Shao said.

Ye Ningwan sighed.

Truly, when it rains, it pours—bad luck to the core.

"Miss Ye, why not come back to the Xie Family with me?"

The driver who brought her back from the Xie Family was still around and suggested.

Ye Ningwan looked at him, somewhat suspicious that the Xie Family might have set the fire.

Yet she thought it unlikely.

After all, she had done favors for the Xie Family; they shouldn’t be so ungrateful as to repay kindness with enmity.

The Xie Family was unlikely to burn her house right after she healed Xie Mingyu.

However... Zhan Hanjue seemed more suspicious.

If he truly believed she had always used him, he might even want to strangle her, let alone burn her house.

But going to the Xie Family was out of the question.

Once in, it would be hard to come out again.

"No need, but thank you for your kind offer. You can return now," Ye Ningwan said.

The Xie Family’s driver nodded and didn’t insist, driving away.

"Sis, what about tonight?" Ye Shao asked.

He’s not bothered by sleeping outdoors, but he’s worried about his sister.

"When you were wandering before, where did you spend the night when you had nowhere to stay?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Ye Shao thought for a moment: "Under bridges, beneath mall eaves, oh, and internet cafes! But internet cafes charge money and require ID."

"Then let’s find a place that only charges money, no ID required," Ye Ningwan said.

Ye Shao was surprised and asked, "What place accepts only money, no ID?"

"Silly kid, have you forgotten where you used to work?"

"KTV?"
