Chapter 374: Chapter 374 Rejecting Her
All eyes were fixed on him.
Hao Yansen finally looked up indifferently, as if he had no reaction to their discussion just now.
“You’re right, Miss Jiang’s gesture is indeed precious,” he said in a deep voice. As he spoke, Jiang Kerou couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Hao Zaiye laughed as well, “Good, good, it’s great that you appreciate her gesture…”
“However, I’m afraid I’m going to let Miss Jiang down,” Hao Yansen suddenly added.
“…” Everyone was taken aback!
What was he talking about?
Jiang Kerou’s smile immediately froze on her face.
Hao Zaiye was also taken aback for a moment before asking in confusion, “Asen, what do you mean by that?”
“Miss Jiang, please take the item back. It was very kind of you, but we cannot accept something so valuable,” Hao Yansen said to Jiang Kerou, his tone remaining cool.
“Why?” Jiang Kerou couldn’t help but ask, “Grandpa Hao really needs this right now. Hao, I really don’t mean anything else, I just simply want to save him; please don’t misunderstand.”
“Yes, Asen, how can you refuse? Don’t you want to save the old man? That’s your grandfather, how can you stand by and watch him die!” Hao Zaiye was very angry, “Now that you have such a good opportunity, you’re actually refusing it. What are you thinking?”
“I do this because I adhere to the principle of not accepting rewards without merit,” he said.
“But don’t you plan to save Grandpa Hao? Can you really bear to watch him die?” Hao Zaiye asked angrily once more.
Hao Yansen replied with a faint smile, “Uncle, don’t you know? Grandpa is already fine.”
“What?” Hao Zaiye and the others were incredulous.
The old man is fine, how come they didn’t know?!
Hao Yansen spoke in a low voice, “Grandpa has already woken up. His health is now recovering well, so he no longer needs the Pill of Life.”
“Grandpa Hao woke up?” Jiang Kerou exclaimed with excited laughter, “That’s wonderful news. However, you should still take this Pill of Life; it might still be beneficial for grandpa’s health. I have no use keeping it, it’s just a waste, and it’s close to expiring anyway. Giving it to grandpa could help his recovery even more.”
Hao Zaiye paused a moment, then agreed, “That’s right, what Kerou said makes sense. Even if the old man has woken up, he can still take it. At least don’t waste Kerou’s kind intentions.”
“The doctor said that Grandpa can’t take a second Pill of Life in such a short period, or his body won’t be able to handle it,” Hao Yansen suddenly said.
“…” Jiang Kerou and the others were stunned.
What did he mean by that?
A second Pill of Life?!
Hao Yansen stood up, sweeping his gaze over them, “I forgot to tell you, we found the Pill of Life and have already administered it to grandpa. Therefore, we can’t accept Miss Jiang’s pill. I’m sorry to let down your kindness.”
Jiang Kerou’s face turned slightly pale.
For some reason, she felt that he was indirectly rejecting her…
She thought that he, at the very least, was interested in her.
But she didn’t expect him to refuse.
Jiang Kerou’s expression was really a bit unsightly, and it was hard to conceal a trace of sorrow on her face. She forced a smile and said, “Is that so, you’ve already found one. That’s really great. This one could be kept for future use…”
