She hated her adopted daughter, Family Ying, especially after what happened yesterday.
She didn't learn well, had a bad character, and lied like a second nature.
Even Ying Lu Wei, who had such a good temper, was angered. She really felt bad for her best friend.
Lu Zhi had seen the Weibo post today, but what could it prove?
She was certain that Ying Zijin had delusions about Jiang Moyuan that she shouldn't have.
Lu Zhi thought for a moment and an idea came to her mind. She pulled Lu Fang over. "Xiao Fang, you and I go in first. Someone will come in later. You watch first."
The last sentence was directed at the cashier.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Lu Fang was confused. "Are we still hiding from her?"
In class, Ying Zijin was always the one who lowered her head and didn't dare to meet anyone. When did he become the one who gave in?
"What do you mean by hiding?" Lu Zhi pulled Lu Fang to the storeroom at the back without any explanation. "I want her to embarrass herself. When the time comes, she'll come and beg me obediently."
Didn't she want to buy medicine?
Then let's see if she could afford it.
Lu Fang was stunned for a moment before he understood. He couldn't help but laugh. "Sister, you're really sinister. Do you think she'll cry from anger later?"
"Definitely." Lu Zhi looked at the surveillance footage on the computer. "When the time comes, send the video to Lu Wei and make Lu Wei happy."
"Sister, give me a copy too." Lu Fang thought that this was a good idea. "When school starts, I want to play it in class."
It was getting closer and closer to the third year of high school, and the studies were more important. He needed some fun to adjust his mood.
A few seconds later, the girl pushed the door open and walked in.
She was about to go to the shelves, but suddenly stopped. She looked up and stared straight in a direction.
Lu Fang suddenly met her gaze and couldn't help but hold his breath.
Her face was bare and her lips were light, without any embellishments, but it was hard to look away.
His pair of phoenix eyes were deep and dark, like a bottomless abyss, as if it could suck people in.
Lu Fang's heart jumped. "Sister, she can't 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, her face expressionless.
When she woke up, there were so many troubles coming to her door that she was tired.
She didn't have the habit of going wherever she went. Before coming here, she didn't know that this was the Lu family's shop.
She had been transfusing blood for Ying Lu Wei for a year. Her body was too weak, so Zhong Manhua found a therapist for her.
But in fact, Lu Zhi was recommended by Ying Lu Wei.
Lu Zhi graduated from the Capital University of Chinese Medicine and majored in traditional Chinese medicine. Zhong Manhua was also very satisfied and hired her with a high salary.
The Lu Family was just a small family in Hucheng. Naturally, they would be more than happy to have a Family Ying.
However, it had nothing to do with her.
Ying Zijin looked at the Chinese medicine on the shelves and fell into deep thought.
Many of the herbs were completely extinct, and substitutes were hard to find.
"Sister, it seems that she really wants to buy medicine." Seeing this, Lu Fang clicked his tongue. "Does she know what it is?"
How could she recognize Chinese medicine when she couldn't even memorize English words?
Lu Zhi was very impatient. "Why do you care about her? Just laugh at her. "
In front of the shelves —
Ying Zijin looked around and found that she had overestimated the quality of the herbs here.
Even through the wooden boards, she could smell that the herbs were at most 20 years old.
But Wen Fengmian's illness couldn't be delayed, so she had to use them first. At most, she would go into the mountains to dig them up in a few days.
"Miss, what would you like to buy?" The cashier heard Lu Zhi's words. "Why don't you tell us the symptoms? We can help you choose."
"No." Ying Zijin said casually, "Atractylodes atractylodes, Wulingzhi, Moongazer sand, Ambergris …"
She said a total of 30 names of Chinese medicine and finally said, "5 pounds of each."
"Pfft!" At first, Lu Fang was surprised that a bad student could remember so many names of Chinese medicine. But when he heard the last part, he laughed and said mockingly, "5 pounds? Does she think she's buying vegetables? "
She was indeed a country bumpkin who didn't know anything. Could Chinese medicine be bought by the pound?
"She can't buy it anyway." Lu Zhi winked at the cashier again.
The cashier understood and said, "Miss, you need too much. You need to stock up. Please sign the list first."
"Okay." Ying Zijin said lightly, "How much is it in total?"
Lu Zhi made a "five" sign.
The cashier smiled. "500,000 yuan."
Lu Zhi and Lu Fang were waiting for the girl to cry because she didn't have money, but —
"500,000 yuan?" Ying Zijin didn't move. "Specially for Taishang Laojun?"
The cashier's smile froze.
"Bah." Lu Zhi's face didn't look good. "So what if it's an elixir? If you can't afford it, then get out of here."
The cashier received the signal and smiled again. She said tactfully, "Miss, our herbs are all picked in the mountains. They are more expensive. If you can't afford it …"
Ying Zijin looked up. "Sign it."
As soon as the two words came out, everyone was stunned.
"What's she up to?" Lu Zhi was suspicious. "She dares to spend money like this?"
Family Ying wouldn't give so much money.
Lu Fang analyzed, "She's a country bumpkin and doesn't know the market price. If she buys it, we'll make a profit."
Some of the herbs were expensive, but the total was no more than 50,000 yuan. 500,000 yuan was ten times the price. Only a fool would buy it.
Hearing this, Lu Zhi was relieved and nodded at the cashier.
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 dialed a number slowly.
After three rings, the call was connected. It was on speaker.
The girl's voice was cold and unhurried. "I want to complain. 148 South Zhongshan Road. This shop sells Chinese medicine herbs ten times the market price. Yes, yes."
"…"
Lu Zhi was stunned.
She couldn't believe that the girl dared to call to complain.
"Sister, she's so scheming!" Lu Fang blurted out. "No wonder she wants to sign the list. She's tricking us!"
The Lu family wasn't as strong as the four wealthy families. If they were really complained about …
Lu Zhi panicked and rushed out. She scolded, "Do you want to die?"
The girl looked up calmly without any emotion.
Lu Zhi tried to act tough. "You dare to complain? I'm going to ask Mrs. Ying now. Since when did Family Ying dare to let an adopted daughter step on our Lu family? "
As she said that, she was about to make a call, looking like she was going to complain.
Ying Zijin was a little sleepy. "If you don't want to call, I'll call for you."
"You …" Lu Zhi was furious. She raised her hand and slapped the girl's face.
However, she was stopped just as she raised her hand.
"Crack!"
An extremely soft sound of bones cracking could be heard.
Lu Zhi immediately felt the pain. She lost her balance and fell onto the chair with a "bang".
Ying Zijin put her hands in her pockets, expressionless.
Oh, it was a reflex. She forgot to restrain her strength.
She had to be more careful in the future. She couldn't cripple people.
Lu Zhi gasped in pain. She raised her head and was about to scold when her face turned pale.
In front of the door, the man was half-leaning with his long legs bent.
His posture was lazy and the expression between his eyebrows was indifferent.
However, the words he said made people feel cold all over.
