She hated the adopted daughter of the Ying family, especially after what happened yesterday.
She didn’t learn well, had poor character, and was a habitual liar.
Even a good-tempered person like Ying Luwei could be angered. She really didn’t feel her close friend deserved it.
Lu Zhi also read today’s Weibo, but what did that prove?
She could be sure that Ying Zijin definitely had inappropriate delusions about Jiang Moyuan.
Lu Zhi thought for a moment, thought about it, and pulled Lu Fang over: “Xiao Fang, you and I go in first. Someone will come in soon, and you will watch first.”
The last sentence was addressed to the cashier in the store.
“Sister, what are you doing?” Lu Fang was confused, “Are we still hiding from her?”
In the class, Ying Zijin always lowered her head and dared not see anyone. When did they give in?
“Why are we hiding?” Lu Zhi couldn’t help but pull Lu Fang to the warehouse at the back. “I want to make her look embarrassed. Make her come and beg me when the time comes.”
Didn’t she want to buy medicine?
Then see if she can afford it.
Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, then understood and couldn’t help but laugh: “Sister, you are really insidious. Do you think she will be angry and cry after a while?”
“Definitely.” Lu Zhi looked at the monitoring on the computer, and said, “Send the video to Luwei to make her happy.”
“Sister, give me a copy too.” Lu Fang thought this was a good idea, “When school starts, I will show it in the class.”
The senior year of high school was getting closer and closer, and the studies were getting heavier, so he needed some fun to spice things up.
A few seconds later, the girl opened the door and walked in.
She was originally going to the shelves, but suddenly stopped, raised her head, and looked straight in one direction.
Lu Fang faced her coldly, and his breath couldn’t help but suffocate.
The bare makeup and light lips, without any embellishment, made it difficult for people to take their eyes away.
The pair of phoenix eyes were deep and black, like a bottomless abyss that could suck people in.
Lu Fang’s heart skipped a beat: “Sister, she doesn’t know that we are looking at her, right?”
“How is that possible?” Lu Zhi disagreed, “Do you think she can predict things?”
Ying Zijin withdrew her gaze, with a poker face.
When she woke up, there were so many troubles coming to her door that she was tired.
She didn’t have the habit of leaving things alone. Before she came, she didn’t know that this was the Lu family’s shop.
She had given Ying Luwei blood transfusions for a year, but she was too weak, so Zhong Manhua found a therapist for her.
But in fact, Lu Zhi was recommended by Ying Luwei.
Lu Zhi graduated from the Imperial University of Chinese Medicine, majoring 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 Shanghai, so being able to catch up with the Ying family was a natural dream.
However, it had nothing to do with her.
Ying Zijin looked at the Chinese medicines on the shelves and fell into deep thought.
Many medicinal materials had become completely extinct, and substitutes were difficult to find.
“Sister, it seems she really wants to buy medicine.” Seeing this scene, Lu Fang clicked his tongue, “Does she know medicine?”
She couldn’t even memorize English words, how could she still recognize Chinese medicine?
Lu Zhi was very impatient: “What do you care about her? Just watch her make us laugh.”
In front of the shelves, Ying Zijin looked around and found that she had overestimated the quality of the medicinal materials here.
Through the wooden board, she could smell that the herbs were no more than twenty years old.
But Wen Fengmian was ill and couldn’t wait, so she reluctantly used it first. At worst, she would go into the mountains to dig it herself in a few days.
“Miss, what do you need to buy?” The cashier heard what Lu Zhi said, “Why don’t you tell us about your symptoms and we can help you choose.”
“No need.” Ying Zijin said casually, “Cangzhu, Wulingzhi, Wangyuesha, Ambergris…”
She reported a total of thirty Chinese medicine names, and finally said: “Ten pounds each.”
“Pfft!” Lu Fang was originally surprised that a scumbag could remember so many Chinese medicine names. After hearing the last, he laughed and said sarcastically, “Ten pounds? Does she think she’s buying groceries?”
She was indeed a country person 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, the quantity you need is too large and needs to be stocked. Please sign the order first.”
“Yes.” Ying Zijin said calmly, “How much is the total?”
Lu Zhi made a “five” sign.
The cashier smiled: “Half a million.”
Lu Zhi and Lu Fang waited for the girl to cry because she had no money, but…, “Half a million?” Ying Zijin kept his eyebrows unchanged, “Specially for the Supreme Lord Medicine?”
The cashier’s smile froze.
“Bah.” Lu Zhi’s face didn’t look good, “What’s wrong with the elixir? If you can’t afford it, get out of here.”
After receiving the signal, the cashier regained her smile and said politely: “Miss, our medicinal materials are all picked from the mountains, it will be more expensive, if you can’t afford it…”
Ying Zijin raised her eyes: “Sign it.”
As soon as these two words came out, several people were stunned.
“What tricks is she doing?” Lu Zhi asked suspiciously, “How dare she spend so much money?”
The Ying family would not give so much money.
Lu Fang analyzed: “She is a bumpkin and doesn’t understand the market price. We make money when she buys it.”
Some of those medicinal materials were expensive, but the total was only 50,000 and 500,000, was a full ten times of the same. Only a fool would buy it.
Hearing this, Lu Zhi felt relieved and nodded towards the cashier.
After getting it right, the cashier quickly printed out a slip.
Ying Zijin glanced at it and took it, but did not sign. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and dialled a number slowly.
After three beeps, the call was connected, hands-free.
The girl’s voice was cold and unhurried: “I want to complain. No. 148, Zhongshan South Road. This store sells traditional Chinese medicinal materials at a price ten times higher than the market price. Well, yes.”
“…”
Lu Zhi was stunned.
She couldn’t believe that the girl dared to call to complain.
“Sister, she is so scheming!” Lu Fang blurted out, “No wonder she wanted to sign the order, she is trying to trick us!”
The Lu family was not as well-established as the four wealthy families. If there was really a complaint…
Lu Zhi panicked and rushed out, shouting curses all over her face: “Do you want to die?”
The girl raised her eyes lightly, showing no emotion.
Lu Zhi’s heart was filled with anger: “You still dare to complain? I’m going to ask Mrs. Ying when did the Ying family dare to let an adopted daughter step on our Lu family’s head.”
As she said that, she was about to make a call. She had a big problem but still had the posture of complaining.
Ying Zijin was a little sleepy: “If you don’t want to hit me, I will do it for you.”
“You…” Lu Zhi was furious, and out of embarrassment, she slapped the girl in the face.
But as soon as she lifted it up, she was intercepted.
“Crack!”
An extremely subtle sound of bone cracking sounded.
Lu Zhi felt pain immediately and lost her balance, falling onto the chair with a “snap”.
Ying Zijin put her hands in her pockets and showed no expression.
Oh, conditioned reflex, she forgot to calm down.
She had to be more careful in the future and not cripple people.
Lu Zhi gasped in pain, raised her head suddenly, and was about to curse, but her face turned pale.
In front of the door, the man was half leaning, with his long legs bent.
The lazy posture and the careless expression between his eyebrows.
The words he said sent chills all over her body.
He chuckled: “The Ying family doesn’t dare, but I still dare.”
