172: Chapter 172 Request

The hospital corridor was filled with a somber atmosphere.

Now there was also a person sitting on a chair, looking utterly distraught.

"How could it be... How could Xiao Ran be the one who saved me...?"

Murong Qing still couldn't believe this fact in her heart.

The person she had always disliked, the person she had slapped.

Now he had actually become her savior!

Such a turn of events made it difficult for her to accept!

"Let's go in and see him first!" Zhang Yuan suddenly reminded her from the side.

"Mm!" Murong Yao nodded.

If Xiao Ran didn't forgive him... he was already prepared to spend a few days in jail.

Murong Yao carried a pile of bags in his right hand and opened the ward door with his left.

Actually...

The atmosphere in the ward wasn't very good either.

Aside from Liang Shiqing, who had a rosy complexion and a happy expression as she stayed by Xiao Ran's bedside...

The other girls, having somehow moved a pile of stools, sat in a row, gritting their teeth and glaring at the couple who were openly displaying their affection!

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

The culprit who had caused Xiao Ran to be lying in the hospital bed walked in.

Murong Qing was somewhat reluctant to face him, but she was still dragged into the ward by a gleeful Murong Lan.

With her father as a shield, she would have a chance to get close to Brother Xiao Ran!

"Xiao Ran, I'm sorry. It was Uncle who was blind and injured you. Please forgive me." Murong Yao was a responsible person; he bowed and apologized as soon as he entered, adopting a very humble posture.

At first, the people in the room didn't understand why.

When they heard Murong Yao's words, they immediately became as if facing a formidable enemy.

They all stood up in unison, blocking the front of the hospital bed, fearing that Xiao Ran would be beaten again.

Xiao Ran: "..."

It's not that serious, not that serious.

Why such a big reaction? Didn't they see there was a Director Zhang following behind?

"You all move aside. They won't do anything to me," Xiao Ran said irritably.

With Xiao Ran's words, the four finally moved aside.

"Uncle Murong, you don't need to be so formal," Xiao Ran said courteously.

Murong Yao's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Ran's decent attitude: "Xiao Ran, all the mistakes, a thousand mistakes, are Uncle's fault."

Saying that, he placed the pile of things in his hands on the bedside table.

"You're too kind," Xiao Ran nodded, then said nothing more.

It's a pity that only Murong Yao's daughters could provide lifespan.

Otherwise, this Uncle Murong would probably have to give him a few months as well.

The atmosphere immediately fell into a stalemate.

The most awkward person was Murong Yao.

"Mr. Xiao... Ran, you still remember me, right?" Zhang Yuan, seeing the awkward atmosphere, also stepped forward.

Xiao Ran looked at the newcomer, raising an eyebrow.

Why was this person everywhere?

"Director Zhang, so it's you!" Xiao Ran once again put on a smile, "May I ask if you all have anything else?"

Zhang Yuan knew that Xiao Ran meant to get straight to the point, so he spoke:

"Ahem, Xiao Ran, it's like this. Your Uncle Murong has already surrendered, so he wants to settle this privately with you now. What do you think?"

"Settle?" Xiao Ran seemed a little surprised, scanning the group suspiciously.

His current decision determined whether Murong Yao would go to jail for a few days.

"If you want me to forgive him, I can, but I have conditions!" Xiao Ran said in a serious tone.

Murong Yao's eyes lit up; as long as Xiao Ran had demands, it would be easy to handle.

"Xiao Ran, just tell me whatever you want, and Uncle will try his best to satisfy you. Even if you want to marry my A Lan, I won't ask for a bride price; I'll marry her to you directly! I'll even give you tens of millions in dowry!"

As Murong Yao's words fell, for some reason, Tang Jiayu, who was behind him, suddenly pinched him.

As for Murong Lan, she lowered her head with a smile, her cheeks flushed, like a peach blossom in early bloom.

Her heart suddenly filled with anticipation.

As long as Brother Xiao Ran agreed, she was willing to get married immediately!

If he weren't injured, she would have wanted to consummate their marriage tonight!

Then, taking advantage of his last moments... she would give him a big, chubby son!

"My demands aren't high. I'm an orphan, and from childhood until now, I've been poor for 20 years," Xiao Ran slowly began.

The girls beside him all looked at him with sympathy.

Only Zhang Yuan, who knew the truth, secretly rolled his eyes: If Xiao Ran was poor, then he himself was worse than a beggar!

Murong Yao didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

"I only need 5 million. Buying a small apartment of a few dozen square meters and living out this life peacefully is enough!" Xiao Ran stated his simple request.

Murong Yao had thought Xiao Ran had some grand ideals!

But it was just this?

Not only did he not ask for an exorbitant amount, but he didn't even want the delicate, wealthy, beautiful daughter he was giving away for free?

And she even came with tens of millions in dowry!

He might even inherit the entire Murong Family's assets in the future!

He actually only wanted 5 million!

Could he have been hit so hard by his punch that he became stupid?

He was stunned.

His two daughters were also stunned!

Murong Lan looked disappointed; such a good opportunity was missed!

[+10]

Murong Qing felt even more guilty!

5 million, that number was the amount she had initially used to try and bribe Xiao Ran with money!

She even felt!

That Xiao Ran was mocking her!

Waves of regret surged in her chest, making her unable to calm down.

She couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't hold on!

"Xiao Ran! I'm sorry!" Murong Qing suddenly stepped forward and apologized.

[+10]

Xiao Ran: "?"

Someone whose avatar was black and white in his graph also jumped out!

Even Lu Yiyi had a stronger presence in his heart than she did!

But he didn't expect that even black and white icons had such a high drop rate!

"May I ask who you are?" Xiao Ran looked at Murong Qing with a puzzled expression.

"Uh..." She was stunned for a moment, not reacting.

"I... I am Murong Qing..."

"Oh~~!" Xiao Ran immediately showed a look of sudden realization, then said indifferently: "Don't know her!"

Everyone: "..."

"When adults are talking, children please step aside, thank you!"

Xiao Ran said politely, then looked at Murong Yao and said:

"5 million, let's consider it compensation for this matter, and also the reward for me saving your daughters!"

Xiao Ran's words were undoubtedly meant to draw a clear line between himself and the Murong Family.

There was even a hint of humiliating their family: in his eyes, your Twins daughters were worth at most 5 million.

A flicker of anger suddenly ignited in Murong Yao's heart, his gaze somewhat wavering.

He naturally understood Xiao Ran's sarcastic meaning.

This was somewhat insulting!

But it was indeed their family who was in the wrong first, so he had no right to be angry.

Little did he know, Xiao Ran wasn't targeting him, but rather his daughters!

Xiao Ran looked at the silent family and continued, "How about it? 5 million won't be too difficult for you, right?"

Murong Yao fell silent, seemingly truly considering this proposal!

Murong Lan, seeing her father lost in thought, immediately grew anxious: "Dad! You can't agree!"

If her father really agreed, it would mean that she would never again be qualified to approach Brother Xiao Ran!
