Chapter 18: The Ying Family Might Not Dare To, But I Dare To

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

She hated the adopted daughter of the Ying family, especially after what happened yesterday.

She was a slacker, had poor character, and was a liar.

Even a good-tempered person like Ying Luwei was angered. She really felt sorry for her close friend.

Lu Zhi had also seen today’s Weibo post, but what could it prove?

She was certain that Ying Zijin had a crush on Jiang Moyuan.

After Lu Zhi thought for a moment, she came up with a plan. She pulled Lu Fang over and said, “Xiao Fang, come in with me first. Someone will come in later. Keep an eye on them.”

The last sentence was directed at the cashier in the shop.

“Sis, what are you doing?” Lu Fang was confused. “Are we going to hide from her?”

In the class, it was always Ying Zijin who had her head lowered and avoided people. When did it become him who had to give in?

“What do you mean by hiding?” Lu Zhi pulled Lu Fang to the storeroom at the back. “I want her to make a fool of herself and beg me when the time comes.”

Wasn’t she going to buy medicine?

In that case, they would see if she could afford it.

Lu Fang was stunned for a moment before he understood. Then, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Sister, you’re really sinister. Do you think she’ll cry from anger later?”

“Definitely.” As Lu Zhi looked at the surveillance footage on the computer, she said, “When the time comes, I’ll send the video to Luwei to make her happy.”

“Sis, give me one too.” Lu Fang thought that this was a good idea. “I want to play it in class when school starts.”

They were getting closer and closer to their third year of high school, and their curriculum was getting heavier, so they needed some fun to unwind.

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

She was about to go to the shelves when she suddenly stopped. Then, she raised her head and looked straight in a certain direction.

Lu Fang couldn’t help but hold his breath when he met her gaze.

She was bare-faced without any makeup on, but it was difficult to look away from her.

Her almond-shaped eyes were soulful and dark, like an endless abyss that could suck people in.

Lu Fang’s heart skipped a beat. “Sis, she can’t possibly know that we’re looking at her, right?”

“How is that possible?” Lu Zhi disagreed. “Do you think she can predict the future?”

**

Ying Zijin retracted her gaze with an impassive expression.

When she woke up, she experienced so much trouble, so she was tired.

She didn’t have the habit of divining wherever she went. Before she came, she didn’t even know that this was the Lu family’s shop.

She had given Ying Luwei a year’s worth of blood. Her body was too weak, so Zhong Manhua found a healer for her.

But in fact, Lu Zhi was recommended by Ying Luwei.

Lu Zhi graduated from the Imperial Capital University of Traditional Medicine and specialized in Traditional Medicine, so Zhong Manhua was very satisfied with her and hired her with a high salary.

The Lu family was only a small family in Hucheng, so being able to get close to the Ying family was naturally more than they could ask for.

However, it had nothing to do with her.

As Ying Zijin looked at the medicine on the shelf, she fell into deep thought.

Many medicinal herbs were already completely extinct, and substitutes were very difficult to find.

“Sis, it seems like she really wants to buy medicine.” Seeing this scene, Lu Fang clicked his tongue. “Does she recognize the herbs?”

She couldn’t even memorize vocabulary words, so how could she recognize medicine?

Lu Zhi was very impatient. “Why do you care so much about her? Just watch her make a fool of herself.”

In front of the shelf—

After Ying Zijin looked around, she realized that she had overestimated the quality of the medicinal herbs here.

Through the wooden board, she could smell that these medicinal herbs were no older than twenty years.

However, treatment of Wen Fengmian’s illness couldn’t be delayed, so she had to make do for now. She could go into the mountains to dig for more in a few days.

“Miss, what do you need to buy?” The cashier had received Lu Zhi’s instructions. “Why don’t you tell us about the illness? We can help you choose.”

“No need,” Ying Zijin said aloofly. “Cangshu, Five Spirit Resin, Full Moon Sand, Ambergris…”

After listing thirty medicine names, she finally said, “Ten kilograms each.”

“Pfft!” Initially, Lu Fang was surprised that a slacker could remember so many medicine names. When he heard the last sentence, he laughed mockingly. “Ten kilograms? Does she think she’s buying groceries?”

As expected of a country bumpkin. How could medicine be bought by catties?

“She can’t afford them anyway.” Lu Zhi gave the cashier a meaningful look.

The cashier understood and said, “Miss, the amount you need is too big, so we need to prepare more. Please sign the list first.”

“Mm.” Ying Zijin said indifferently, “How much does it cost in total?”

Lu Zhi made a ‘five’ gesture.

The cashier said with a smile, “Five hundred thousand.”

Lu Zhi and Lu Fang were waiting for the girl to cry because she couldn’t afford it. However…

“500,000?” Unfazed, Ying Zijin asked, “Do you guys supply medicine to the royal family?”

The cashier’s smile froze.

“Pfft.” Lu Zhi’s expression turned ugly. “They’re just that precious. If you can’t afford it, get lost.”

When the cashier received the signal, he smiled again and said tactfully, “Miss, our herbs are all picked from the Yuan Mountain, so they’re more expensive. If you can’t afford them…”

Ying Zijin looked up and said, “I’ll sign it.”

The moment she said this, everyone was stunned.

“What trick is she up to?” Lu Zhi was suspicious. “She dares to spend so much money?”

The Ying family wouldn’t have given her so much money.

Lu Fang analyzed, “She’s a country bumpkin and doesn’t understand the market price, so if she buys it, it’s our gain.”

Those medicinal herbs were expensive, but the total cost was only 50,000 yuan. 500,000 yuan was ten times more than that. Only a fool would buy them.

Hearing this, Lu Zhi was relieved and nodded at the cashier.

With that, the cashier quickly printed out a list.

Ying Zijin glanced at it and took it. However, she didn’t sign it. Instead, she took out her phone and slowly dialed a number.

After three rings, the call was picked up and put on speaker.

The girl’s voice was cold and calm as she said, “I want to file a complaint. A shop on 148 Zhongshan South Road sells medical herbs that are ten times higher than the market price. Yes, that’s right.”

“…”

Lu Zhi was stunned.

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

“Sis, she’s so scheming!” Lu Fang blurted out. “No wonder she wanted to sign the contract. She was setting us up!”

The Lu family didn’t have a strong foundation like the four big families, so if they were really reported…

In a panic, Lu Zhiyi rushed out and scolded, “Do you want to die?”

The girl looked up emotionlessly.

Lu Zhisi said fiercely, “You even dare to file a report? I’ll go ask Madam Ying now. When did the Ying family dare to let an adopted daughter bully our family?”

As she spoke, she was about to make a call, like she was about to complain.

Ying Zijin said a little sleepily, “If you don’t want to make the call, I’ll make the call for you.”

“You…” Lu Zhi was so angry that she raised her hand to slap the girl’s face.

However, just as she lifted her hand, she was stopped.

Crack!

An extremely faint sound of bones cracking could be heard.

The pain made Lu Zhi lose her balance and she fell onto the chair with a bang.

Ying Zijin had her hands in her pockets, her face expressionless.

It was a conditioned reflex. She forgot to restrain her strength.

She had to be more careful in the future. She couldn’t cripple people when beating them.

Lu Zhi gasped in pain and raised her head. Just as she was about to scold Ying Zijin, her face turned pale.

A man was leaning in front of the door with his long legs bent.

His posture was relaxed and he had an indifferent expression.

The words that came out of his mouth sent chills down everyone’s spine.

He chuckled. “The Ying family doesn’t dare to, but I do.”
