In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 144: A Simple Misunderstanding

If it was because Shang Qinghua had seen him together with Rong Qinglei, then Shang Qinghua had no right to interfere in that.

People always said a woman’s heart was hard to understand, but in Yue Mingxuan’s eyes, a man’s heart was even deeper than the sea. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"I will only ask you one thing," Shang Qinghua said as he straightened his body and looked down at Yue Mingxuan, who was half-crouched beside him. "How did you know I was injured?"

Hearing this question, Yue Mingxuan knew that his earlier lie had been exposed.

Saving someone was not shameful, but the problem was that the person he saved was the one who had injured Shang Qinghua.

Facing the victim himself, Yue Mingxuan felt a bit guilty and nervous.

"I... I saved a man named Xi Yu," Yue Mingxuan said hesitantly. "He came to the clinic covered in blood and said that if I healed him, he would give me one hundred taels of gold. But after I healed him, he said he had no money. He gave me a jade qilin instead and told me to come ask you for the money. I... I didn’t dare to come. Then he thought I was your man..."

Yue Mingxuan’s words made Shang Qinghua’s tightly wound nerves finally relax.

No matter how smart Shang Qinghua was, he could not have guessed such a complicated chain of events.

It turned out that Xi Yu’s big mouth had spread everything.

Suddenly, Shang Qinghua felt that the sword strike he had given Xi Yu earlier had been far too light.

After figuring everything out, Shang Qinghua felt much more at ease, and even his tone became lighter.

"So you rushed over here directly?" he asked.

Yue Mingxuan nodded.

Seeing his honest reaction, Shang Qinghua’s mood improved greatly and he even felt a desire to tease him.

"What? Did you think this prince is handsome and charming, so you fell for me?" Shang Qinghua said with a faint smile.

Yue Mingxuan looked at him strangely.

Just a moment ago, Shang Qinghua had been trying desperately to chase him away.

Now he was suddenly in the mood to joke.

This men really were harder to understand than women.

Yue Mingxuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then chose what he felt was the most reasonable answer.

"I was afraid that if you died, there would be no one left to pay me the one hundred taels of gold that Xi Yu owes me."

Yue Mingxuan’s answer almost made Shang Qinghua choke on his own breath.

He had thought Yue Mingxuan came because he was worried about him.

Instead, it turned out it was all for that one hundred taels of gold.

Was he really worth less than one hundred taels of gold?

Was Yue Mingxuan’s head filled with gold bricks so there was no room left to think?

Who in this world would pay medical fees for someone who had injured them?

Seeing Shang Qinghua’s expression grow darker and more frightening, Yue Mingxuan’s voice gradually grew softer.

"I... I wasn’t that I didn’t want to ask you for the money," he said quietly.

It was not that he did not want to ask—it was that he did not dare.

After all, he still owed Shang Qinghua a large amount of gold himself. Coming here to demand money from him would really be courting death.

Shang Qinghua immediately saw through Yue Mingxuan’s thoughts.

"You didn’t dare to come, right?" he said coldly.

Being caught together with Rong Qinglei, openly disobeying his wishes—of course Yue Mingxuan felt guilty.

Yue Mingxuan nodded honestly.

Shang Qinghua gave a bitter laugh in his heart.

Was he really that frightening?

When he thought about how Yue Mingxuan was still constantly thinking about the one hundred taels of gold that Xi Yu owed him, Shang Qinghua felt very unhappy inside.

Something that belonged to him did not need to have any money ties with others.

"That one hundred taels of gold," Shang Qinghua said calmly, "will be deducted from the amount you owe me."

He would temporarily pay it for Xi Yu.

As for reclaiming what belonged to him, he had plenty of ways to make Yue Mingxuan pay it back double in the future.

When Yue Mingxuan heard this, his eyes lit up as if they were glowing. "You mean it?" he asked in disbelief. Could it be that the sun had risen from the west today? This iron rooster was actually plucking his own feathers, and not just one or two, but a whole handful.

Seeing Yue Mingxuan’s excited expression, Shang Qinghua shook his head helplessly. It was only one hundred taels of gold, nothing more.

Seeing how generous Shang Qinghua was today, Yue Mingxuan decided to praise him properly.

Maybe if Shang Qinghua was happy, he might forgive even more of the debt.

That would bring Yue Mingxuan one step closer to his great escape plan.

"When Xi Yu came to my place, he was covered in blood," Yue Mingxuan said, speaking nonstop. "The wound on his back was cut very skillfully. It looked deep, but it didn’t damage any vital parts..."

He went on and on, telling Shang Qinghua about all the embarrassing things that happened to Xi Yu in the medical hall.

Of course, he did not leave out how he used alcohol mixed with salt to torment Xi Yu as a little ’prank.’

"That guy definitely has something wrong with his brain," Yue Mingxuan said, getting more excited as he spoke. He leaned directly against the side of Shang Qinghua’s couch. "Just because I was afraid to see you, he claimed I was your man. Two things that have nothing to do with each other, and he still managed to connect them. Truly the imagination of a fool is endless, and madmen are always full of joy..."

When Shang Qinghua heard this, his expression suddenly turned sharp.

He interrupted Yue Mingxuan immediately.

"What did you just say? Xi Yu said you were my man?"

Yue Mingxuan nodded. "Yes. I have no idea what he was thinking to say something like that."
