Chapter 759: Anything Could Be Owed, Except Favors
Yun Xi carried the medicine kit downstairs. Yun Chuhan, thinking that she would be followed by Young Marshal Mu, stood up when she heard the sound of footsteps. She didn’t expect Yun Xi to be the only one coming down the stairs.
“Sister, what’s going on with the Young Marshal? Was he seriously injured?”
She had just spent all the time she had been waiting for Yun Xi asking the butler tons of questions. However, the butler only answered the question of whether or not he was a butler. None of her other questions received answers.
She felt very irritated. She hadn’t found out anything that she’d wanted to find out, and now she wasn’t going to be able to see the Young Marshal. She’d come here in vain.
“He’s okay.” Yun Xi answered casually as she turned around and handed the medicine kit back to the butler. “It was nothing serious, so rest is all he needs.”
“Okay, I’ll send you home now, Miss Yun.” The butler’s respect for Yun Xi was obviously greater than his respect toward Yun Chuhan.
No matter how dissatisfied Yun Chuhan was feeling, she could only grit her teeth and follow Yun Xi out of Mu Mansion.
She’d won this opportunity with great difficulty, but now she was returning home empty-handed. Yun Chuhan was very disappointed.
Qi Yuan drove them back to the Yun family’s house. Hearing the sound of the car, Yun Yuanfeng hurriedly ran out of the house and asked anxiously, “Yun Xi, how did it go?”
Yun Xi rolled her eyes at Yun Yuanfeng. “Dad, be quiet!”
Qi Yuan got out of the car and said to Yun Yuanfeng, “Deputy Director Yun, please keep the Young Marshal’s injury a secret. After all, it is a military secret. If anything happens because this information was leaked, those responsible will be pursued. Deputy Director Yun, you understand the potential consequences, right?”
Yun Yuanfeng froze in fear. Then he quickly returned to his senses and nodded. He said somewhat regretfully, “Understand…understand. I understand!”
If this matter had to be kept secret, then he wouldn’t be able to make a big fuss about Yun Xi treating the Young Marshal. If word got out and it offended the Young Marshal, the whole Yun family would suffer.
He didn’t dare to gamble with the fate of the entire Yun family.
Actually, he couldn’t afford to gamble at all.
He was hoping that this would give him the good opportunity to establish ties with the Young Marshal. That would definitely help his career.
Who was the Young Marshal? He was a big shot and an elite among the elites. It was a pity that he couldn’t use this to help himself.
Qi Yuan nodded. “That’s good. I’m glad that Deputy Director Yun understands the importance of what I’ve just said. The Young Marshal has already paid Miss Yun the treatment fee, and the doctor from the General Hospital of the Military Region will take over from here. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yun.”
Qi Yuan had adopted this att.i.tude in order to tell Yun Yuanfeng that this was a matter of urgency, but not that big of a favor. This confidentiality rule directly crushed Yun Yuanfeng’s hopes of using this matter to social climb.
His att.i.tude reflected that of the Young Marshal, so naturally Yun Yuanfeng didn’t dare to say anything further.
When he got home, Yun Yuanfeng looked frustrated, but he still couldn’t help but ask about the details of Yun Xi’s diagnosis and treatment.
“Dad, the Young Marshal’s injury is a secret, so don’t think too much about it. He also paid me the treatment fee. We don’t owe each other anything.”
“You took it? Why are you so stupid? If you hadn’t taken it, perhaps he would have looked you up again. After all, you saved the Young Marshal, so this is a huge favor.”
Anything could be owed, except favors. Yun Yuanfeng understood this, and Mu Feichi understood it as well.
“Colonel Qi just said that the doctors of the General Hospital of the Military Region will take over the rest of the treatment, so I won’t be needed anymore. This time, it was an emergency, and I was asked for help at the last moment. Do you really think the Young Marshal holds me in high regard? What is his ident.i.ty, and what is my ident.i.ty? Ask Yun Chuhan, did he pay any attention to her at the Mu Mansion?”
Yun Xi really didn’t want to tell her dad more, so she turned around and went upstairs.
Yun Yuanfeng glanced at Yun Chuhan. Yun Chuhan was full of resentment, and Yun Xi’s words made her even more annoyed.
“Dad, when I went up to the Mu Mansion, it was the butler who greeted us. I asked a dozen questions and tried to talk to the butler, but he completely ignored me. With the Young Marshal’s status, he isn’t someone just anyone can claim ties with.”
She suddenly remembered the Young Marshal coldly throwing the invitation at the Young Madame of the Han family at the Weiya Banquet, and she felt seriously frustrated.
He didn’t even take the Young Madame of the Han family seriously. With his distinguished status, who could he take a fancy to?
