Chapter 18: 016 The Ying Family dares not, but I dare.



She really hated this foster daughter of the Ying Family, especially after what happened yesterday.

Not only did she fail to learn properly, but she also had a poor character, and was habitually dishonest.

Even Ying Luwei, who was known for her good temper, was infuriated by her; she genuinely felt that her close friend was being wronged.

Lu Zhi had also checked Weibo today, but what did that prove?

She was certain that Ying Zijin had inappropriate fantasies about Jiang Moyuan.

Lu Zhi thought for a moment, then a plan formed in her mind, and she pulled Lu Fang over, “Xiao Fang, you come inside with me first. When someone comes in later, you keep watch.”

The latter sentence was addressed to the cashier in the shop.

“Sis, what are you doing?” Lu Fang was confused, “Are we still hiding from her?”

In class, it was always Ying Zijin who kept her head down, unable to face people. When did it become his turn to avoid her?

“Hide? What hide?” Lu Zhi dragged Lu Fang to the storeroom at the back without further explanation, “I want to embarrass her so she’ll come begging to me later.”

You want to buy medicine, right?

Then let’s see if you can even afford it.

Lu Fang was momentarily stunned, but then he got it, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Sis, you’re really cunning. Do you think she might just end up crying from anger later?”

“Definitely,” Lu Zhi watched the surveillance footage on the computer, “Later, I’ll send the video to Luwei to cheer her up.”

“Sis, send me a copy too,” Lu Fang thought it was a great idea, “I want to play it in class when school starts.”

With the third year of high school drawing ever nearer and studies becoming more demanding, there was a need for some fun to lighten things up.

A few seconds later, the girl pushed the door open and walked in.

She was about to head to the shelves, but then suddenly stopped and lifted her head, staring straight in a particular direction.

Lu Fang felt a sudden jolt as their eyes unexpectedly met, catching his breath.

Bare-faced with pale lips, unadorned yet impossible to look away from.

A pair of phoenix eyes deep and dark, like an unfathomable abyss, seemingly capable of drawing people in.

Lu Fang’s heart skipped a beat, “Sis, she couldn’t possibly know we’re watching her, could she?”

“How could she?” Lu Zhi dismissed the notion, “You think she can predict the future?”

**

Ying Zijin withdrew her gaze, expressionless.

Ever since she woke up, she had been faced with endless troubles; she was tired of it.

She wasn’t accustomed to acting recklessly, nor did she know beforehand that this shop belonged to the Lu Family.

After a year of blood transfusions to Ying Luwei left her weak, Zhong Manhua had found her a convalescent therapist.

But in truth, it was Lu Zhi who came recommended by Ying Luwei.

Lu Zhi, a graduate of Imperial Capital University of Chinese Medicine, specialized in traditional medicine, and Zhong Manhua was very pleased with her, hiring her at a high salary.

The Lu Family was a minor clan in Shanghai City, but they were naturally eager to associate with the Ying Family.

Nevertheless, all of this was irrelevant to her.

Ying Zijin looked at the traditional medicines on the shelf, deep in thought.

Many of the medicinal herbs had disappeared completely, and finding substitutes was difficult.

“Sis, looks like she really intends to buy medicine,” Lu Fang clicked his tongue when he saw this, “Does she even recognize them?”

She can’t even memorize English words, and now she’s recognizing traditional Chinese medicines?

Lu Zhi was irritated, “Why do you care what she’s doing? Just enjoy the show.”

In front of the shelves—

Ying Zijin finished surveying the area, realizing she had overestimated the quality of the medicinal materials here.

Even through the wood, she could smell that the herbs were no older than twenty years.

But Wen Fengmian’s illness was urgent; she would make do with these for now, and if necessary, she would go into the mountains to dig some herself after a few days.

“Miss, what do you need to buy?” the cashier, having received Lu Zhi’s instructions, asked, “Or perhaps you could describe the symptoms, and we could help you choose.”

“No need,” Ying Zijin spoke casually, “Atractylodes, Five Spirits Resin, Moonwatching Sand, ambergris…”

She listed a total of thirty types of traditional Chinese medicines, then added, “Ten catties of each.”

“Pfft!” Lu Fang was initially shocked that a poor student could remember so many medicinal names, but laughed mockingly at the last part, “Ten catties? Does she think she’s buying vegetables?”

“`

Indeed, just a country bumpkin who knows nothing; can you buy medicinal herbs by the kilo?

“Anyway, she won’t be able to buy them.” Lu Zhi then gave the cashier a signal with her eyes.

Understanding the hint, the cashier then said, “Miss, the quantity you need is too great, we need to prepare stock, please sign the order form first.”

“Hmm,” Ying Zijin replied indifferently, “How much in total?”

Lu Zhi gestured a “five.”

The cashier smiled, “Five hundred thousand.”

Lu Zhi and Lu Fang waited for the girl to be so embarrassed by not having money that she’d cry, however—

“Five hundred thousand?” Ying Zijin’s expression unchanged, “Are these exclusively for the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord?”

The cashier’s smile stiffened.

“Pah.” Lu Zhi’s face also turned sour, “Even if it’s Immortal Pills, what about it? Can’t afford it, then scram quickly.”

Receiving the cue, the cashier regained her smile, tactfully saying, “Miss, our medicinal materials are all picked directly from the mountains, they tend to be more expensive, if you can’t afford them…”

Ying Zijin looked up, “Sign it.”

With those two words, several people were taken aback.

“What is she trying to pull off?” Lu Zhi doubted, “She dares to spend that much?”

The Ying Family wouldn’t give her that much money, that’s for sure.

Lu Fang analyzed, “She’s just a bumpkin, doesn’t know the market prices, if she buys, it’s our gain.”

Although some of those medicinal materials were expensive, the total sum didn’t exceed fifty thousand, five hundred thousand was ten times that amount; only a fool would buy.

Hearing this, Lu Zhi also felt reassured, nodding towards the cashier.

With the go-ahead, the cashier quickly printed out an order form.

Ying Zijin glanced at it, took it, but instead of signing, she took out her phone, dialing a number in a leisurely manner.

After three rings, the call connected, on speakerphone.

Her voice was clear and cold, unhurried, “I want to make a complaint, Zhongshan South Road, number 148, this shop’s medicinal materials are priced ten times higher than the market price, yes, that’s correct.”

“…”

Lu Zhi was shocked.

She simply couldn’t believe the girl dared to make a complaint call.

“Sister, she’s so scheming!” Lu Fang blurted out, “No wonder she wanted to sign the order form, she’s setting us up!”

The Lu Family, unlike the Four major noble families, didn’t have a deep foundation; if they were really reported…

In a panic, Lu Zhi rushed out, unleashing a barrage of curses, “Do you want to die?”

The girl looked up indifferently, with hardly any emotion.

Lu Zhi, fierce on the outside but timid inside, “You still dare to file a complaint? I’m going to ask Madam Ying right now, since when does the Ying Family dare let a foster daughter step over our Lu Family heads.”

Saying so, she was about to dial the phone, ready to tattle.

Ying Zijin, somewhat tired, “Don’t bother, I’ll help you do it.”

“You…” Lu Zhi was beside herself with anger, and in her fury and humiliation, raised her hand to slap the girl’s face.

But as soon as she raised her hand, it was intercepted.

“Crack!”

A very faint sound of bone cracking was heard.

Immediately, Lu Zhi felt pain, lost her balance, and “plop” fell onto the chair.

Ying Zijin, hands in her pockets, showed no expression.

Oh, a reflex action, she had forgotten to hold back her strength.

She would have to be more careful in the future, can’t go crippling people.

In pain, Lu Zhi gasped for air, violently raised her head, was about to curse, but her face turned pale as “whoosh.”

In the doorway, a man leaned casually, a leg bent.

In his lax posture, his eyes and brows exuded an air of nonchalance.

The words he spoke, however, sent chills down everyone’s spine.

He chuckled lowly, “The Ying Family might not dare, but I sure do.”
