Chapter 21
C21 – You Are a Bad Man Full of Nonsense
Si Qin nodded. As Ye Yu departed, Si Qin’s attention returned to the piece of paper. Could this prescription truly grant eternal youth?
If so, perhaps it was worth a try!
Yet, soon, Si Qin chuckled to herself. What was she thinking? If such a remedy existed, it would have captivated women worldwide. Who wouldn’t desire perpetual youth?
If Ye Yu had offered it so casually, it likely held ulterior motives!
Si Qin suddenly realized she could move her sprained foot without pain. It seemed Ye Yu possessed genuine medical skills.
It appeared Ye Yu wasn’t entirely inept. Moreover, there was an air of mystery about him. But if he indeed possessed skills, why would he settle for being a son-in-law?
Upon his return, Ye Yu was surprised to find the lights still on. He discovered Yan Xue lounging in pajamas on the sofa. Who else but her?
Despite Yan Xue’s aversion towards him, her concern was evident. Ye Yu had stayed back to safeguard her and her classmates. Naturally, she awaited his return.
Contemplating for a moment, Ye Yu lifted Yan Xue. She had just finished showering, a subtle fragrance clinging to her. Her loose pajamas hinted at her contours beneath.
In his pursuit of the Great Dao, countless celestial beings had pursued him before. He remained disinterested. Yet, traversing the mortal realm this time, did he lack this experience?
A fleeting thought stirred within Ye Yu, but as one who nearly conquered the Heavenly Dao, he could easily quell such emotions.
A gentle tap between Yan Xue’s brows sent her into a peaceful slumber.
After tucking Yan Xue in, Ye Yu retired to his room. Though he didn’t require sleep, he indulged in the mortal experience of resting at night.
The following day, as Si Qin prepared for work, she stumbled upon the paper left by Ye Yu.
Si Qin couldn’t help but feel a fondness for Ye Yu. He was enigmatic and had rendered her a great service. Unfortunately, he was already Yan Xue’s husband.
“You’re quite the smooth talker. But I won’t fall for it!” Si Qin chuckled to herself as she stored the paper and headed out.
Yet, returning to work, Si Qin encountered an unwelcome sight: Yu Qing.
Yu Qing harbored animosity towards Si Qin solely due to her superior looks and figure, often causing trouble out of jealousy.
At this moment, she intentionally bumped into Si Qin, who was wearing high heels and was knocked down instantly. Si Qin looked up, and upon seeing Yu Qing, realized she had deliberately caused trouble. Her expression darkened, “Yu Qing, what are you doing?”
“Well, if it isn’t Si Qin? Who do you think you are? You can’t even watch where you’re going!” Yu Qing said with a sinister tone.
“I don’t have time for you!” Si Qin said, frowning.
“Si Qin, it looks like this piece of paper fell from your body. Let’s see, could this be a love letter from another man?” Yu Qing mocked as she picked up a piece of paper from the ground.
“What? Give it back to me!” Si Qin saw it was the Eternal Spring Pill recipe that Ye Yu had given her, which had fallen out earlier.
“So anxious. It must be a love letter from your lover. I’m curious to see who managed to win over an icy beauty like you!” Yu Qing sneered.
“It’s none of your business. Hurry and give it back!” Si Qin demanded, clearly dissatisfied.
Yu Qing had no intention of returning it to Si Qin. She unfolded the paper and read aloud, “Eternal Spring Pill Recipe? And it grants eternal youth? Si Qin, you must have found out about Director Wang’s recent prescription and are trying to fool him with this, right? Even a child wouldn’t believe this nonsense!”
“What does it have to do with you?” Si Qin said, growing angrier.
Yu Qing sneered and handed the prescription back. “Fine, since you’re so nervous, I’ll give it back to you!”
Just as Yu Qing finished speaking, she let go of the prescription, allowing it to fall to the ground. She then stomped on it a few times, saying mockingly, “Oh, I accidentally stepped on your prescription. So sorry, Si Qin!”
“You!” Si Qin was so furious that her chest heaved. Yu Qing was being utterly outrageous.
The onlookers could see that Yu Qing was indeed going too far. Yu Qing had always been domineering and had recently connected with a senior executive of the company, so no one dared to speak up for Si Qin.
At this moment, Si Qin seemed isolated and helpless. She felt a pang of discomfort, knowing that what Ye Yu had given her was being destroyed by Yu Qing.
“What’s going on here?” A woman in professional attire approached. She was exceptionally beautiful, even more so than Si Qin, with an extraordinary demeanor. She was the CEO of the Southern Ascension Group, Wang Hong’s sister, Wang Ya.
An old man stood next to Wang Ya. He wore a white robe and didn’t look like an ordinary person.
As the president of the corporation, Wang Ya was feeling a headache coming on. Recently, Nansheng Beauty Group had been struggling and needed to promote a beauty medicine to resolve this crisis. Otherwise, the corporation would be in a dire situation.
However, obtaining such a beauty prescription was not easy. Ordinary people couldn’t produce it, and those who could would sell it at exorbitant prices.
Moreover, many people tried to deceive others with fake prescriptions. Fortunately, they had Master Zhu this time, a wealthy expert with many years of experience who could easily distinguish between real and fake prescriptions at a glance!
