The weekend arrived and as Su Xiaofei expected, her mother was too busy working, so Yun Qingrong could not accompany her to visit the pharmacy and meet Han Zijun. Lu Qingfeng had offered to accompany her in place of Yun Qingrong, who was appreciated by the old woman.
"Sorry, Feifei. I can't go with you today. I have to stop by the office and see how the company is doing." Yun Qingrong apologized to his daughter.
"It's okay, Mama. After all Xiao Feng will accompany me today. I'm sure he's tired of waiting for his grandfather to come back." Su Xiaofei kissed his mother before joining Lu Qingfeng in the back seat of his car and saw Nine sitting in the driver's seat.
Nine. Of course, Su Xiaofei was her true self. Nine was one of the two exclusive assistants Lu Qingfeng had with him. In the past, Nine was the one who did the dirty work for Lu Qingfeng, whereas Katarina was the one in charge of Lu Qingfeng's business affairs.
As the car drove away from the Su Residence, Lu Qingfeng took this opportunity to ask Su Xiaofei.
"Feifei.... last night.. How did you know that Chen Li was going to steal your dress?" He asked carefully. She had to admit that she felt suspicious because Su Xiaofei knew in advance that Chen Li would steal the dress and make preparations to deceive the girl.
"Ah, about that. I know for some time now that he has stolen some of my things and clothes that I don't wear or use. However, the other day, right after her mother was severely reprimanded by Mama, I saw Chen Li sneak into the third level closet again and saw her holding the dress in her arms. I'm suspicious, but I don't think he actually came last night to steal it."
Su Xiaofei knew he had no choice but to lie to her, and even though he gave her a suspicious look now, he knew that Lu Qingfeng would not force his luck and force her to make a confession.
So how did he know? It was just an assumption on his part based on Chen Li's attitude and personality. In her previous life, that same little black dress was Chen Li's treasured possession. She often bragged about it, as there were only ten of the same dresses that had been sold to the public by her own designers.
So how was Chen Li willing to part with that dress in this lifetime? Given his selfish and arrogant personality, Su Xiaofei suspected he would steal it before his family was expelled. Since he had stolen a lot from Su Xiaofei in the past, there was no harm in adding another one, right?
"Is that so? Then he actually dared to add another offense this time." Lu Qingfeng commented. He had heard about the incident where Su Xiaofei caught Chen Li wearing one of the clothes his mother had given him from Aunt Liu and discovered that the young lady was really brave and stupid to not realizing that he was only approaching death by offending Su Xiaofei.
Ever since their youth, Su Xiaofei was famous for taking revenge and getting revenge with those who offended or hurt Xi Qian, regardless of whether they were older than him or not. He would always make sure that they would come home with bloodied and swollen faces, which earned him the title of Southern Qiying Young Witch.
"What can I say? That's because his mother wasn't trying to fix things."
"I really feel sorry for Aunt Qing for not knowing how sneaky her daughter was behind her back." Lu Qingfeng sighed, shaking his head in a feigned disappointment.
Su Xiaofei's lips curled up, not offended by his words.
"My mom doesn't need to know what could hurt her."
Yun Qingrong did not need to realize how cruel his daughter was, but it could not be said to the woman who gave birth to her. In his past life, even that woman had become a hindrance in Su Xiaofei's life, helping Ye Mingyu make her life hell.
'That woman could never be my mother. My mother is none other than Yun Qingrong.' Su Xiaofei thought, as he recalled the woman who gave birth to him. In this life, he would make sure to take revenge with everyone who hurt him in the past.
When they arrived at the pharmacy, Han Zijun greeted them with a smile before allowing them to follow him into his office, the same room where he took care of Su Xiaofei a week ago. He examined Su Xiaofei's stitching wounds and commented on how fast and well he was healing.
This was the second time Lu Qingfeng had seen Su Xiaofei's injuries, but his face could not help his anger and disappointment over the incident. Still, in the end, he chose to keep his own opinion, because he had nowhere to voice his anger.
"Sister Han, do you have any medicine to stop the wound from leaving a scar? I don't want to be marked with scars for the rest of my life." Su Xiaofei asked as soon as Han Zijun started prescribing other medicines for his injuries. She is unable to damage her face or body if she wants to enter the showbiz again.
Han Zijun smiled at the young lady in front of him. He had known of his relationship with Yun Qingrong and the Yun family. According to Master Ouyang, it seems like the Yun family is interested in meeting this young lady.
"Ah, yes, right. Don't worry, I'll make sure that it won't leave a scar. Be sure to apply the topical solution after the stitches are removed.." He replied, getting the satisfaction of a smile from Su Xiaofei.
"Sister Han, I'm curious.." Su Xiaofei started.
"Want to know what?" Han Zijun asked, without taking his eyes off the paper he was holding, checking if his assistant had brought the right prescription medicine for Su Xiaofei.
"It is made from a rare flower that can only grow in the mountains. Such species of flowers are very difficult to cultivate because they are very fragile, especially if exposed to heat." Han Zijun explained. "As I said before, the poison is difficult to trace because it lacks the aroma or taste to indicate its presence, the poison is hard to trace, such reasons make it an ideal way for some to kill others secretly without leaving a trace."
The conversation between the two somewhat piqued Lu Qingfengs interest. He looked between the two and realized that Su Xiaofei was trying to get information from the doctor.
"Then, doctor, is there any way we can't be poisoned by it?" He asked, which surprised Su Xiaofei and Han Zijun at the same time.
Thinking about it, wouldn't it be better for him to know how to fight Ye Mingyu in the future if that woman tried to poison him again?
"There are actually two simple ways, but not many realize it. First is the silver needle method. If you think your drink is spiked with poison, dipping a silver needle to see if it will react can tell you whether it is poisoned or not. Upon contact, if the silver needle goes black, the chances of you being poisoned by cold poison or other types are high."
Han Zijun wasn't sure why these two young people were interested in knowing about the characteristics of the cold poison, but if they could protect themselves from poisoning in the future, it would be good to know, then he wouldn't mind giving them a lecture about it.
"And the second method?"
"Slightly unusual, but place freshly cut flowers on a solution you suspect is being poisoned. The flower petals will instantly turn white, no matter what the original color is. It makes sense because of the flower whose poison comes from having pure white petals."
"But I can't carry a silver needle all the time, can I?" Su Xiaofei muttered.
"Since the poison reacts to silver, I think you can wear silver jewelry and use it discreetly." Said Lu Qingfeng, which made Su Xiaofei praise him endlessly for being too smart.
"Right, I can do that, Xiao Feng. Who knows, in the future I might be able to save someone's life with this useful trick!" He laughed and patted her on the back, a little too strong for Lu Qingfeng to like. Su Xiaofei definitely did not know how strong and heavy his hand was.
Before he and Lu Qingfeng left the pharmacy, Han Zijun took out a folded paper from the wooden drawer under her desk and gave it to Su Xiaofei.
"Take this, Miss Su. Mr. Ouyang stopped by early and left this for you, because he had no way of contacting you. He said he forgot to ask you and your mother's number. You can tell me your answer or write it down in the paper as well, and I'll pass it on to him." Han Zijun explained.
Su Xiaofei watched him for a moment. It seemed like the old man had often come here to trust Han Zijun to pass this message on to him.
Su Xiaofei unfolded the paper and read the contents. His face remained neutral, but Lu Qingfeng noticed the amused glint that appeared in his eyes. It seems like he just received some good news.
As expected, Mr. Ouyang did well and reported what was happening in their home to the Yun Family. He was not sure how Old Master Yun would react to the news, but given that he was invited to meet the old man at the Yun Plantation, Su Xiaofei had no reason to reject him.
He had just been reborn and at eighteen, Su Xiaofei realized that he had limited resources and money. If he really wanted to get ahead of his enemy, he needed to raise his personal funds and expand his network to stop Mo Yuchen and Ye Mingyu from plotting against him.
The Yun Family might not be able to give her the money she needed, but she had no doubt that they would be able to protect her mother in case of any trouble. Also, by getting along well with her mother's family, she will be able to help realize her mother's wishes by mediating the relationship between the two parties.
"Thank you, Brother Han, and I believe that you will pass on my response to Master Ouyang. Please let her know that I need to consult with my mother about this invitation and will give my answer on my next visit, if she does not mind. " He told the genius doctor with a slight smile, revealing malicious intent in his eyes.
"I understand. I'll tell him then."
Su Xiaofei realized the old man's intention of inviting him, without relaying his invitation to his mother. Yun Guanyu planned to test her, to see if she was worthy enough to be accepted by their family, without knowing that Su Xiaofei did not care.
The only reason Su Xiaofei was looking for them like this was because of his mother. He did not need to get involved with other family members, unless they could open new doors for him to take advantage of.
Su Haoran was scheduled to go home tonight and now that she had spread a dispute between her and her mother, it was time for her to see their marriage ruined.
