“The auction continues!” the host declared.
“3 billion!”
Lan Anran gritted her teeth and continued to up the price.
“4 billion!” Mo Jinrong followed.
He wanted to see how rich Lan Anran was.
“4.5 billion!”
Now, Lan Anran felt her heart ache every time she increased the price. How many herbs and medicine would she need to sell and how many therapy sessions would she need to give in order to earn it back?
“5 billion!”
The people present took a breath, as this was the most expensive thing ever sold in the Liu Xiang Pavilion’s history.
“5.5 billion!”
Lan Anran silently prayed that he wouldn’t raise the price any further, because this was the last of her money, and she could only steal it if this went on.
“5.5, billion once! 5.5, billion twice, 5.5 billion, thrice! Congratulations to the gentleman for obtaining the fennel!” the host said excitedly.
The audience broke into a resounding applause, they had never seen such a grand show!
“Master Rong, why aren’t you raising the price anymore?” Mo San asked curiously.
“That herb isn’t worth it! Investigate Lan Anran and use all it takes to find information on her!”
Mo Jinrong looked at Lan Anran silently. This woman had a secret!
He had personally arranged the security in the Liu Xiang Pavilion and had used all the latest technology. How did she get in without a trace?
Although the Lan Family was rich, they were not to such an extent. Lan Anran appeared to be very rich and this wasn’t something an ordinary student could normally accomplish.
“Yes, Master Rong!” Mo San replied respectfully.
In the audience, Lan Anran was ecstatic. It seemed like that person wasn’t really that rich, she was worried for nothing. She had only 6 billion in total and now, she only had 50 million left, which was enough.
Lan Anran went backstage to get the prize and to pay up the 5 billion. Everyone was surprised that she had so much money at such a young age and many people wanted to get her contact information, but she just shook her head.
It wouldn’t be good if she was exposed, it was better to keep a low profile.
...
After getting the fennel, Lan Anran saw that time was almost up. The auction took the entire day. She was afraid that her parents would be worried, so she went to the front desk to pick up the bag, change her clothes, and to hurry home.
She was dumbfounded when she reached home. The door was open, but there wasn’t anyone inside. The pool of fresh blood in the hall frightened her and she thought that the house was robbed. She hurriedly took out her mobile phone. Just then, she realized Lan Yanran had called her countless times, but her phone was muted during the auction so she hadn’t heard it.
She hurriedly called back. Lan Yanran’s anxious voice was on the other side of the phone, “Sis, what happened to you? I called you so many times, why didn’t you pick up? Something happened to mom!” Lan Yanran cried.
“I… I, something happened to mom?” Lan Anran didn’t have time to explain and she asked anxiously.
“After you left, Mom suddenly vomited blood and convulsed. She has been in the intensive care unit the whole day and the doctor issued a critical illness notice several times!”
Lan Yanran was sitting on the ground and crying weakly.
“What? What happened to mom?”
Lan Anran was pale with fright and fell to the ground feebly, tears streaming down her face.
“How could you make your sister worried? Pass me the phone.”
Lan Tingyun walked over and snatched the phone, pretending to be calm.
“Anran, don’t worry. Mom’s condition is much better, don’t worry.”
“Dad, wait for me, I’m coming over now!”
Lan Anran hung up and rushed to the hospital.
….
In the hospital, Lan Yanran’s eyes were swollen from crying. He couldn’t imagine a life without his mother.
He curled up in a corner of the hospital, not daring to look up at his mother with tubes attached to her.
“Yanran, don’t be sad. I will save Mom.”
Lan Tingyun knelt down and comforted Lan Yanran.
“Dad, Mom will get better, right?”
Lan Yanran sobbed.
“Of course, she will,” Lan Tingyun replied with certainty.
After a while, Lan Anran ran to the hospital’s emergency room, panting. Seeing Lan Yanran’s appearance, she couldn’t help but feel her heart ache. This was how he looked in her past life when he was upset.
“Dad, Yanran…” Lan Anran’s tears fell and she shouted.
“Sis, you’re finally here, will mom be alright?”
Lan Yan Ran ran over. He hugged Lan Anran and cried.
The two of them cried for a while. Lan Anran was wearing a protective suit and she walked into the intensive care unit and looked at her pale mother who was lying on the hospital bed. Her eyes immediately welled up.
She quickly calmed down and looked at Li Yueru with a professional perspective. The person lying on the hospital bed wasn’t just her mother, she was also her patient.
She wiped her eyes and felt her mother’s pulse.
Her pulse was weak and her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were weakening. She looked at Li Yueru’s eyes again and her pupils were a little slacken. If she didn’t receive treatment soon, her mother would be in a dangerous condition.
But Li Yueru had a strong will, so she had time.
“Mom, you have to stay strong, I will definitely save you,” Lan Anran clasped her mother’s hand tightly and said.
