Chapter 19: How Are You Preparing to Thank Me?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The sunlight shone on his handsome face.

It was as if stars were shining brightly.

For once, Ying Zijin was mesmerized.

After a while, she narrowed her eyes and frowned slightly. Why did she think of this analogy?

That shouldn’t be.

“Seventh… Seventh Young Master…” Lu Zhi’s body stiffened as she forced a smile. “Why… Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”

Fu Yunshen ignored her. After he straightened his body, he said with a smile, “Kid, what a coincidence.”

Ying Zijin came back to her senses and raised her head.

The man’s body was slightly tilted at this moment. As a faint jade fragrance spread out from his clothes and intertwined with his breathing, it gave him a alluring aura.

His eyes had a gentle and affectionate look.

Whenever he stared at a person, his soulful gaze always captivated people.

“Thank—” she began, but he cut her off. “I don’t want to hear those words again.”

Fu Yunshen patted her head and said, “How long have we known each other? Why are you still so polite?”

Ying Zijin was stunned. “…”

Less than a day had passed since they met.

She glanced at him, but in the end, she didn’t retort.

Forget it. Since he was good to her, she would let him be.

Lu Zhi’s face turned even paler.

What was going on?

When did the adopted daughter of the Ying family hook up with the seventh young master of the Fu family?

Not to mention the Lu family, even the Ying family had to give in to the Fu family.

Lu Zhi bit her lip and recalled the man’s words earlier. Then, the panic in her heart intensified.

At this moment, Fu Yunshen finally looked at Lu Zhi and said aloofly, “500,000 yuan. Is the Lu family short of money?”

Lu Zhi couldn’t figure out how to answer him.

Just as she was hesitating, Fu Yunshen picked up his phone and made a call.

At the same time, in the villa area a few streets away from Zhongshan South Road.

Mr. Lu was drinking tea and reading the newspaper at home leisurely when his phone suddenly rang.

He didn’t want to pick it up at first, but when he saw the number, he was delighted and quickly picked it up. “Seventh Young Master, why are you looking for me?”

The Lu family had recently received a huge order. The Fu family was the one in charge, so the Lu family still needed to rely on them.

However, as soon as he picked up the phone, the first thing he heard was, “I heard that your family is quite short of money.”

Father Lu was stunned and didn’t know how to react.

The second sentence followed.

“I’m afraid that you’ll lose money, so it’s better to put the North District contract on hold.”

The man spoke aloofly and there was mirth in his voice. There was no discernable joy or anger, but there was a huge sense of pressure.

Lu Zhi also heard this. Her eyes widened and she cried out, “Seventh Young Master, you can’t…”

Fu Yunshen hung up the phone and tilted his head. “Huh?”

Lu Zhi felt her hands and feet go cold, and her lips trembled violently.

All she wanted to do was to teach the adopted daughter of the Ying family a lesson, but she never expected she actually caused the Lu family to lose a huge deal worth millions.

The Lu family wasn’t a wealthy family, so a million yuan was very big loss to them.

Lu Zhi couldn’t say a single word. She could only grit her teeth and glare at the girl.

It was all her fault!

If she hadn’t insisted on coming here to buy medicine, the Lu family wouldn’t have suffered such a calamity.

“Ying Zijin, that’s enough.” Lu Fang, who was in the storeroom at the back, couldn’t stand it anymore. He walked out with a dark expression and said, “This isn’t that big of a deal at all. Why do you have to make such a fuss?”

He said in annoyance, “It was just a joke. You didn’t lose anything. How about this? I promise to tutor you in math as compensation. How about that?”

Lu Fang knew that Fu Yunshen was a profligate kid and was doing this to please his woman, so the breakthrough point was this country bumpkin.

He didn’t know how she caught Fu Yunshen’s eye and get treated so well by him.

After Ying Zijin looked up, she found this person somewhat familiar. “You are?”

Lu Fang’s expression turned livid, since he didn’t expect such an answer. “…”

They had already been classmates for a semester, but she didn’t know who he was?

What was she pretending for?

“Ying Zijin, stop pretending,” Lu Fang said sarcastically. “Your grades are ranked at the bottom of the elite class. If you don’t improve, you’ll be expelled from the elite class. I don’t think you want to suffer such humiliation, right?”

Ying Zijin took another look at Lu Fang, but she still couldn’t remember who he was. Instead, she remembered something else.

Qingzhi High School had a class of elites in each grade. The students ranked in the top 50 of the grade were in it. Therefore, after every exam, there would be changes in the elite class.

“Are you going to agree or not?” Lu Fang was very impatient. “You have to think carefully. Not just anyone can get tutored by me… What’s with the look in your eyes?”

Did he look like a fool?

Lu Fang was furious.

Ying Zijin raised her hand and knocked on the cashier counter as she said indifferently, “Wrap up the medicinal herbs and send them to the hotel across the street.”

“Please, please wait a moment.” The cashier hurriedly started to check the order. Of course, he couldn’t accept the money.

As just a small employee, the cashier couldn’t afford to offend anyone.

When Lu Zhi saw the golden iris on the black card between the girl’s fingers, she was stunned.

Wasn’t that…

Lu Fang was very angry and wanted to go forward, but Fu Yunshen was standing at the side.

The man had his head lowered slightly while thinking about something.

He still exuded a dandy aura, but he was inexplicably intimidating as well.

Lu Fang couldn’t help but shiver.

In less than ten minutes, 300 catties of medicinal herbs were prepared. Lu Zhi could only watch with a livid expression as the Lu family’s employees sent the person she hated out.

It was extremely glaring.

“Sis, they’ve gone too far.” Lu Fang slammed his fist on the table. “When school starts in a few days, I’ll teach her a lesson.”

Lu Zhi also felt uncomfortable holding it in and said sarcastically, “She’s climbed up the social ladder now, so she must be feeling extremely smug.”

She didn’t believe that Ying Zijin could keep Fu Yunshen’s interest for an entire lifetime.

Lu Zhi shook her head and was about to snitch on Ying Luwei when Mr. Lu’s call came in first.

“Dad…” Just as she opened her mouth, a roar came from the other end. “What dad? I don’t have a daughter like you. Hurry up and scram back!”

In the hotel room.

Glancing at the pile of medicinal herbs on the ground, Fu Yunshen was about to speak when he saw the girl slowly take out an electric pressure cooker from her backpack.

“…”

Ying Zijin supported her chin with one hand and picked up the medicinal herbs with the other. After weighing them a few times, she threw them into the pot.

She didn’t have time to make her own medicine furnace, so she could only use this as a substitute.

After she modified it, she could use it to refine medicine.

Before leaving the underground market yesterday, she had bought a few pieces of jade.

As she extracted the essence from the jade and poured it into the pressure cooker, Ying Zijin looked up and said, “Those two Weibo posts…”

She was quite interested in new technology and various new things in the modern world, so she planned to start learning.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen looked up with a smile. “How are you going to thank me?”

After Ying Zijin closed the lid of the pot and pressed the start button, she said very aloofly, “I guarantee that you won’t fall for the entire night.”

Fu Yunshen’s expression froze. Then, he narrowed his eyes with a smile. His voice was gentle, but it sounded menacing as well. “Little kid, I have a question for you.”

After Ying Zijin crushed the jade that she had used up and scattered the powder on the ground, she asked, “Hmm?”

“Who did you learn this from?” He bent down to the same eye level as the girl sitting on the ground.
