I arranged a marriage for you, not made you invincible under a disguise.

Putting aside the matter of consultation fees, Old Huang never lets anyone into his medicinal herb garden.

Even if Old Huang suddenly becomes more agreeable and willing to let people into his herb garden, Old Huang is not free in the afternoon.

Mr. Huang will bring Xiao Qi to the hotel to see her this afternoon.

Surely it's not that Old Huang suddenly changed his mind and stopped coming to see her, abandoning Xiao Qi for the sake of the five million consultation fee.

They're still talking over there.

"Tianling, that's great! Once Elder Huang saves my father, my mother will definitely not object to our relationship anymore!"

“Yingying, I asked someone to contact Old Huang not for this, but for you. Ever since Uncle fell ill, you've been looking worried every day, not eating or sleeping well, and it breaks my heart to see you like this. Even if Uncle and Aunt still disagree with our relationship, I will do my best to help you.”

"Tianling, I know all of this. How could I not understand your feelings?"

"It's good that you know. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's hurry up and raise the money. Old Huang said that we must pay the consultation fee before he can make a house call, and it has to be paid today. The price tomorrow is hard to say. I... I'll find someone to borrow some money."

"No need. Even though my mom stopped my card, I can still come up with five million."

"That's really great."

Shen Sixi: ...

Shen Sixi didn't know how Old Huang set the price, but she knew that Old Huang wasn't a money-loving person and would never raise the price arbitrarily.

The girl was clearly scammed.

Shen Sixi isn't one to meddle in other people's business, but...

That's five million.

Shen Sixi put down her juice, paid the bill, and walked over to the couple's table.

Both of them looked at her; the girl's eyes were filled with curiosity, while the boy's eyes flashed with amazement.

The young man spoke first, asking, "Miss, do you need any help?"

Perhaps because they weren't sure what nationality Shen Sixi was, the boy spoke English, and his spoken English was fairly fluent.

Shen Sixi ignored him, not even giving him a glance.

She told the girl in Chinese, "Old Huang is not in the herb garden this afternoon."

The girl was stunned for a moment, and the boy's smile froze.

Shen Sixi left after saying that.

She's said what she needed to say; whether the girl believes her or not is none of her business.

As Shen Sixi approached the restaurant entrance, she overheard the conversation between the two people.

"Tianling, she said Elder Huang isn't in the herb garden this afternoon. Are you sure Elder Huang wants us to go to the herb garden to find him this afternoon? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Don't believe her. What does she know? Does Old Huang know everyone? She might be a fraud."

"A scammer? She didn't scam us out of anything. We don't even know her, she has no reason to scam us. Why don't we go ask her?"

"Yingying, you're still too naive. She must have heard us say we were willing to spend five million on medical treatment and that's why she's targeting us. Now she's just waiting for us to go after her! There are a lot of scammers around here, so we should try not to talk to strangers."

"OK then."

Shen Sixi pushed open the door and left the restaurant without blinking.

After leaving the restaurant, Shen Sixi strolled around outside before taking a taxi back to the hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel lobby, she encountered Shen Tu Rong and Yu Chaodi, who were about to leave.

"Sister Xi!"

"sister!"

Upon seeing Shen Sixi, the two were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up and they jogged over one after the other.

Shen Tu Rong was a step ahead and hugged Shen Sixi tightly. Yu Chao Di was half a meter behind Shen Tu Rong and stood there watching Shen Tu Rong hug Shen Sixi.

Yu Chaodi's eyes were also sparkling.

"Sister Xi, I missed you so much! Why did it take you so long to come back?"

“You have no idea how Chaodi and I spent the last few days while you were gone. We saw everyone as a bad guy and didn’t dare leave the hotel at first. We ate at the hotel every day.”

"I was planning to take this opportunity to have a good time here for a few days, but now I don't even dare to go out."

“We didn’t muster the courage to go out until yesterday, and we only dared to eat around here.”

Shen Tu Rong complained one after another with a bitter face.

Shen Tu Rong was probably the most fortunate child in the Shen Tu family, having never suffered hardship or experienced anything like this since childhood.

This experience was extremely dangerous for her.

"It's alright now," Shen Sixi comforted her. "You can go out freely now, everything's been resolved!"

"real!?"

Shen Tu Rong was overjoyed.

"So, Sister Xi, you don't need to go to that garden anymore, right? You can just stay with us all the time?"

Shen Sixi thought for a moment and said, "Probably."

Although Shen Sixi gave Shen Tu Rong an uncertain answer, Shen Tu Rong was still very happy. She pulled Shen Sixi along, saying, "Sister Xi, come with us for a walk. I've been so bored these past few days."

Yu Chaodi, ever the thoughtful one, interjected, "Sister, you've just gotten back. Why don't you go back and rest for a bit, and change your clothes?"

Shen Tu Rong is spoiled and arrogant, a young lady who doesn't know how to take care of other people's feelings. She never thought of letting Shen Sixi rest.

Hearing Yu Chaodi say this, she realized that Shen Sixi had finally returned, but hadn't even entered her room yet. She was exhausted after so many days and deserved a rest.

Shen Tu Rong: "Yes, yes, Sister Xi, you should go back and rest first. I don't know when my brother will finish talking about things here. We can still play here for several days and have plenty of time to go out and explore."

Shen Sixi also wanted to rest, so she nodded.

The three of them talked as they walked toward the elevator.

Upon hearing Shen Tu Rong mention her elder brother, Shen Sixi remembered Shen Tu Mo and casually asked, "Where is your elder brother?"

"My older brother? Don't even mention him."

The elevator doors opened, and the three of them went in. Shen Tu Rong held onto Shen Sixi's arm the whole time, while Yu Chaodi pressed the floor button.

Shen Sixi: "What happened to your older brother?"

Shen Sixi didn't care much about Shen Tu Mo, but she was a little curious when she heard Shen Tu Rong say that.

Shen Tu Rong: "My older brother is busy to death all day long. He hasn't been back to the hotel for the past few days, and I haven't seen a trace of him! He doesn't care about his sister at all!"

"By the way, Sister Xi, when we came back a few days ago, my older brother asked us about you."

Shen Sixi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Why would Shen Tu Mo ask her about her?

Shen Tu Rong: "I didn't know if you wanted my older brother to know too much, so I didn't tell him the truth. I just told him you were busy inspecting the spice garden."

"However, I mentioned to my older brother that the spice garden manager had kidnapped us, and it seems that my older brother sent people to look for him, but I don't know if they found him or not."

Mentioning the person in charge of that spice garden, Shen Tu Rong still grits his teeth in hatred: "That person... I don't want to see him again!"

Upon hearing Shen Tu Rong's words, Shen Sixi paused, also remembering that person.

Yesterday, she questioned the people from the Temple of Angels, who said that the person in charge of the Spice Garden was neither one of their people nor someone they had appointed.

Their orders were to hunt down Shen Sixi's Xiao Hua. After arriving at the spice garden, they only saw Shen Sixi and Xiao Hua, and no one else.
