Rich In a Brief
Ginseng Is Similar to Carrots


While Marry was still drowning in confusion, someone carried a stretcher in front of him. Simultaneously, there were hasty footsteps that echoed throughout the room.


......................................................


"Please give way. It's emergencies. The patient must be treated immediately" shouted a nurse.


On the stretcher was a man whimpering with grief. The look on his face seemed to voice an unbearable pain. Worse, blood was all over his face.


“Isn't that Mr Roy?” Marry asked hesitantly, turning around and looking at Luis.


He could only catch a glimpse of the patient earlier, yet he was confident in his guess.


"Who?" Luis scratched his head and pretended to be confused. "You mean the guy who hit you?”


Seeing Luis' expression, Marry knew that he did not want to discuss the situation anymore. Therefore, he decided to swallow his question.


"Marry, are you okay?" A sweet voice sounded behind them. A few seconds later, they saw a girl in a black dress walking towards them.


"Jasmine, you've come!"


"Mr Moore, this is my best friend, Jasmine York."


Then, Marry stood up, pointed at Luis, and introduced him. "Jasmine, this is Luis Moore. He's my friend."


"It's nice to meet you." Luis stretched out his hand and shook Jasmine's hand. He then said to Marry, “Since your friend is already here, I go first.”


"All right." Marry nodded and saw him off.


"Martin that's a real jerk!" Jasmine continued to babble near Marry's ears.


"But I heard someone say he jumped from the third floor of a building. If she does not get to the hospital in time, she will probably be disabled for life.”


"Before you came, I saw someone on the stretcher screaming hysterically. I can't believe that person is Martin" Marry said in surprise.


"Who else is it?" Jasmine rolled her eyes. “Maybe this is the reason people always say what is sown will be harvested."


Curious, Marry asked, "Did Miss Daphne see her jumping from the window?"”


"No." Jasmine shook her head.


"That's impossible..." Marry didn't know how to react to that story.


Of course, Marry knew the person Jasmine was talking about was Luis. However, he felt strange because Luis looked good.


"Why not?" Jasmine pursed her lips. "I don't know what Martin's wrong with that guy, but it looks like you're lucky that someone is willing to avenge you. According to rumors, the approval was worth tens of millions."


"Hi, why are you back?" A voice sounded from behind Luis. When Luis heard the question, he turned around and saw Anna standing behind him.


"Why indeed? Is your family an investor in this hospital? Why can't I come in?" Luis cynically asked back.


"How did you know? My family's invested in this hospital." Anna pretended to look surprised.


Hearing his reply, Luis' heart thumped. He could not believe that Anna was actually answering that unimportant question.


"Well, your family's rich! Why can't your family who's bathed in money and power buy a hundred-year-old piece of ginseng? Do I have to give you some of those ginseng bags?"


"You think a hundred-year-old ginseng is like a carrot?" Anna rolled her eyes in annoyance.


Inwardly, he thought, "A hundred-year-old ginseng is a priceless item. If only I could get it so easily, I wouldn't have had to come to Luis."


"Well, it just so happens that my family keeps ginseng like they keep carrots" Luis replied casually.


While he answered Anna, he pondered inwardly, "With the 45 dollar bill, I can buy two ginseng roots in Shopazon. Plus, I'll get a free pendant from the seller. By my calculations, ginseng is cheaper than carrots. Plus, one of those pendants would be enough to replace the money I paid.


Luis' behavior really pissed Anna off. She took a deep breath and reminded herself inwardly, "Anna, you need to calm down. Don't upset. You're so ugly when you're angry."


In another situation, he would fight Luis because he could not accept that the man would dare to disturb such a beautiful girl. But he needs the help of that man. Therefore, he tried to remain calm.


"Let's stop talking nonsense" Anna said. Then, he asked, "Are you willing to give it to me?"


"What do you want me to give you? Trash?" Luis acted as if he was surprised.


For some reason, Luis loved to annoy Anna whenever they met. Maybe because Anna's anger is so easily ignited, and it's very interesting for her.


At that very moment, Anna was no longer able to hear her joke. He shouted in annoyance. "Shut up! If you keep this up, I'll rip your mouth out!" From a young age, no one dared to speak to her like that. Luis was the first to dare to do that.
