Rebirth: Jiaojiao is delicate in public, but ruthless in private.

Fu Hanchen's words hit the nail on the head, directly addressing the crux of the problem.

Qiao Ruan paused for a moment, her eyes flashing with emotions. She pursed her lips and said, "I don't know. All I know is that if I don't save her now, she might not live much longer. A child with a high fever who is not waking up and not getting any nutrition will eventually die, and it won't be the illness that takes her away."

“I can’t stand by and watch her burn or starve to death.”

Upon hearing Qiao Ruan's words, Fu Hanchen's heart skipped a beat, and he was unable to calm down for a long time because of what Qiao Ruan said.

It was as if I saw my own reflection in Qiao Ruan.

He was not a cold-hearted person. When he was in the army, he did his best to save his comrades. He would never give up until the very last moment.

He had also experienced the feeling of trying his best but being unable to salvage the situation. Now, looking at Qiao Ruan, Fu Han's eyes darkened. The rogue and cold-hearted girl he first met in Qiao Family Village was completely different from the one in front of him, making it hard to believe they were the same person.

But Fu Hanchen knew that the one in front of him was the real her.

She has her own way of doing things and is never afraid of others misunderstanding her; she just does what she wants.

"Did you sell any Ganoderma lucidum after leaving the shop?"

Fu Hanchen knew that if he gave her the money directly, she would definitely not accept it.

He had no reason to slip money into Qiao Ruan's hands.

He then inquired about the Ganoderma lucidum.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ruan replied without much thought, "It's sold."

Fu Hanchen looked at him, a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Who did you sell it to?"

"Chen Wensheng".

Upon hearing Chen Wensheng's name, Fu Hanchen tried hard to recall, and then remembered.

His affection for Qiao Ruan was obvious to anyone with eyes to see.

For some reason, Fu Hanchen felt a little uneasy, but what right did he have to question it?

He could only manage a slight twitch of his thin lips as he asked in a hoarse voice, "How much did you sell it for?"

"One thousand and five."

Fu Hanchen's expression changed almost imperceptibly. Chen Wensheng's family owned a steel mill. Although steel mill owners were not short of money, these days, there were very few people who could directly take out 1,500 yuan for a Ganoderma lucidum.

The only reason Chen Wensheng was able to buy it directly was because of the person in front of him.

Qiao Ruan's almond-shaped eyes widened, revealing her innocent confusion. She looked up at Fu Hanchen and said, "What's wrong? I didn't cheat anyone with this wild Ganoderma lucidum. It's a normal and reasonable price. If those merchants buy it from me, they'll just sell it for even more."

Hearing Qiao Ruan's explanation, Fu Hanchen narrowed his eyes and replied, "I didn't say you were selling it for a high price."

Qiao Ruan lowered her eyes and said "Oh".

Just when she thought the conversation was about to end, Fu Hanchen's voice came from above her again.

"You have another Ganoderma lucidum?"

Qiao Ruan nodded. There wasn't a craze for buying Ganoderma lucidum in the market yet. If it was difficult to sell the wild Ganoderma lucidum she picked from Tieling Mountain, she would simply use it to make medicine.

Unexpectedly, Fu Hanchen said directly, "I'll buy it."

"What? Fu Hanchen, you're not mistaken, are you?!"

Qiao Ruan looked up at Fu Hanchen in disbelief. Meeting Qiao Ruan's puzzled gaze, Fu Hanchen chuckled in exasperation. He curled his lips and said, "If Chen Wensheng can buy it, why can't I?"

Qiao Ruan didn't understand Fu Hanchen's sarcastic remark and said in a low voice, "You guys are different."

Fu Hanchen's face darkened, and he spoke through gritted teeth, "How is he different? Is he special to you?"

Qiao Ruan looked at Fu Hanchen. At least for now, they shouldn't get involved in any relationship.

Uncle Fu was determined to arrange a marriage between him and the Qin family. Qiao Ruan had already been adopted by the Fu family, so they couldn't afford to cause a second disruption.

She spoke softly, "He's a nice person."

Fu Han's eyes darkened, a hint of jealousy hidden in them. "So, you like him?"

Qiao Ruan looked into Fu Hanchen's eyes and tilted her head slightly, pretending to be concerned: "Brother, you even care about this? If I remember correctly, Uncle Fu supports my freedom to date, right? Chen Wensheng comes from a good family, is good-looking, and has a refined personality. There's no reason for me not to like him."
