“Zhenbai, this is a list of medicinal herbs, it’s some kind of prescription.” Zhu Bocheng was surprised. This was so unexpected. He thought it was the girl’s contact information. It was just that confessing to Qi Zhenbai was more normal than leaving a prescription behind.
Qi Zhenbai nodded with indifference in his icy eyes. He opened his lips: “Throw it away.”
“What? Although we didn’t expect any treasure from that girl, this is still her heart, isn’t it? And that girl was right about your physique just now!” Zhu Bocheng still had a favorable impression of that girl!
Qi Zhenbai said nonchalantly, “Done, send it to Dr. Li to take a look when we get back.”
Zhu Bocheng replied, “I think so too.”
Chi Shuyan purchased the herbs she needed and made another trip to the jade shop. She bought a good quality jade Buddha and dozens of ordinary jade pendants, causing the clerks at the counter to frequently look at her in surprise. When they first saw the little girl, she didn’t resemble the rich, so they didn’t take her seriously. But when she placed her order without fooling around, only then did they snap back to their senses. However, before they could marvel at the girl’s wealth at such a young age, they saw her buying dozens of pieces of inferior jade pendants.
A jade pendant worth several thousands was already pretty good for ordinary people. But the premise was that the girl first bought a million worth of jade Buddha, so buying these sorts of jade pendants was quite inconsistent.
“Miss, this good jade can feed people. Don’t look at the huge price difference and choose something cheap. There is a world of difference between a few million worth of jade and a few thousand worth of jade.” Even the shopkeeper, Lin Chongchang, who was wiping and fiddling with a jade artifact on the side, also advised with a laugh. This girl didn’t know anything about jade at a glance and was buying randomly. Perhaps she was the daughter of some nouveau riche.
Chi Shuyan smiled, winked, and replied, “I know, so I’ll keep the good jade for myself and give the other bargains to others.”
Lin Chongchang: “…”?But you’ve bought more than a dozen jade pendants. Do you have that many people to give them away? What’s more, it’s too insincere sending out the same stuff.?Lin Chongchang secretly said,?this girl seriously doesn’t have any clue of what she’s doing.
Chi Shuyan didn’t care what others thought and went home happily after her purchase. When she reached the entrance of the community, she spotted two familiar figures.
“Hey, hey, you – security guard! You need to understand the situation. Our niece lives here and is the owner of the property. Why won’t you let us in?” Chi Guihua fumed: “What door card do you want? I’ve already told you the names. Am I still a scammer or what? You guys shouldn’t go too far and must be flexible at least. Otherwise, when my niece comes, you’ll see if I won’t complain about you.”
“Fine, go complain.” The security guard sneered, looking up and down at the pair, Chi Guihua and Gao Han. He’d seen a lot of liars like them, always bragging about how powerful they were. Maybe, the “niece” she mentioned was the young mistress of some family, who came to the door to obtain gifts of money. The owners would only complain about them if they did let them through the door. Thus, they gave not the slightest bit of face. “If you really have such a promising relative, how come you don’t even have a door card? Cut the crap and get the hell out of here!”
Chi Guihua pointed at the security guard, shivering with anger. She wanted to flare up, but looking at all these burly security guards, she was still somewhat terrified. She could only talk tough hatefully. “Okay, you just wait. I’ve raised my niece and she treats me like her mom. She hits where I point, so don’t regret it then. I’ll have my niece file a complaint about all of you.”
Chi Guihua, who was suffocated with her meal at the security, turned and poked at Gao Han beside her impatiently. “Did your phone call get through? What time is it? That girl is almost home from school, but she hasn’t answered her phone yet?”
Gao Han’s face was stinky. “It hasn’t gone through for a long time. She didn’t blacklist us, did she?”
Chi Guihua grabbed the phone disbelievingly and made a few more calls, but none of them went through. She clenched her teeth tightly and cursed: “This damned girl has really grown up. I’ll just squat right here and see how she dares to treat her own aunt like this.”
Gao Han also nodded, and his face was livid. “This girl is increasingly becoming unreasonable. There have never been relatives who had a feud overnight. Why is she so angry?” He was incensed, then paused. “Are you sure your Fourth Brother went on a mission? He wouldn’t still be at home, right?” Gao Han was still fearful of this equally burly brother.
Chi Guihua waved her hand. “Nothing of the sort. Mom said that brother is away on a business trip, and that b*tch is all that’s left.” She blanched suddenly. “Brother wouldn’t have hired a nanny for that good-for-nothing, would he? Bah, this damned girl really thinks she’s a rich man’s daughter. Does she even know how much she’s worth? This is going to cost us a fortune.”
Chi Guihua had long regarded Chi Lingyan’s salary allowance as her family’s property, but had never considered Chi Shuyan. At the thought of how much money Chi Shuyan had spent, she kept busy scolding her for being a wastrel.
“Say everything now, but don’t say anything in front of her. This girl has a hard temper, so coax her out of it first.” Gao Han pondered gloomily: “This girl’s wings are becoming harder and harder. It would be no good if she complained to your brother.”
Chi Guihua gnashed her teeth and inwardly agreed with Gao Han’s notion. Still, she was somewhat reluctant. “What’s the point of this damned girl? She’s a white-eyed wolf. As her aunt, I have treated her well enough and provided her with food and clothes. In the past, she should have already been happy as hell. How could she be so fussy like this?
Gao Han and Chi Guihua waited at the front gate until the sky darkened, but not seeing Chi Shuyan returning, their anxiety intensified. The security guard that the couple had just taunted, stood a short distance away and sneered at them.
“Yo, these two hillbillies still refuse to leave?”
“Hahaha, are they still convinced that their niece lives here? They should pee and take a good look at themselves.”
“Indeed, how disgusting.”
Their exchange was obviously intended for the two to hear. When it fell on Chi Guihua and Gao Han’s ears, their faces turned black and blue. They gnashed their teeth and wished they could go up there and slap them in the face.
“I mean, how could you be so inept in the first place? Your brother was back, so why didn’t you treat Chi Shuyan a bit more nicely?” Gao Han, who was covered in mosquito bites for standing outside too long, complained.
“I did it all for our home and children. How was I supposed to know that this girl’s temper has become so big? She was obviously so obedient and sensible before.” Chi Guihua was also panicked.
When they fell out with Chi Lingyan before, Chi Guihua and Gao Han stubbornly sat on their high horse in a huff, feeling that Chi Lingyan had gone too far. If he didn’t come and apologize, they wouldn’t initiate reconciliation, much less take Chi Shuyan into their care.
Chi Guihua thought well of it. Brother had no other relatives around here, and their family was the only one he could count on. He also sorely loved his worthless daughter, so he would definitely entrust her to them once he went on a mission. Besides, there was no such thing as an overnight feud between relatives. She and her brother were born from the same womb, and with Mom’s rapping, Brother would only choose this alternative. Chi Guihua thought with certainty and made up her mind to wait for the father and daughter to beg them. So, they didn’t care much. They ate, drank and spent extravagantly as ever.
