In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. Today, Chi Shuyan had arranged to have lunch with Young Master Jing of the Jing Auction House to discuss the cooperation related to her pills. After thinking about the matter for so many days, it was indeed time for her to give the Jing Auction House an answer.
Moreover, she had a pretty good impression of this man, Jing Hengran. Although they had added each other on WeChat, he didn’t harass her much. They only exchanged pleasantries once, and he had waited for her answer all this time. He waited patiently, and Chi Shuyan gradually lowered her guard.
Chi Shuyan also had a plan. As long as she didn’t reveal her strength, her cooperation with the Jing Auction House would be a win-win situation, and she would also gain more to a certain extent.
The conditions provided by the other party were very good, and she would be able to get her hands on all sorts of rare herbs she needed. Although she was very talented at refining pills, as the saying went, a clever housewife couldn’t cook without rice. No matter how good she was at refining pills, she couldn’t refine any without the herbs.
Moreover, while she would need to supply pills to the Jing Auction House, every batch of herbs that she used to refine Spirit Gathering Pills could yield eight pills.
The Jing family didn’t know that her success rate was so high. If she said that she could only make one pill with each batch, or even from two or three batches, the Jing Auction House wouldn’t doubt her!
How many herbs would she be able to obtain from this cooperation?
What she lacked the most right now were herbs. It was always good to be prepared, right?
Thinking this, Chi Shuyan was even more tempted. Now that she had made a decision, she prepared to leave school at noon. Chi Shuyan arranged to meet the other party in the private room at Imperial Restaurant which Chef Li had set aside for her.
Because of this, she had called Chef Li earlier on and asked him to cook more good food. She had been eating in the canteen lately, and was getting sick of the food.
When Chef Li heard that Miss Shuyan was coming to the restaurant to eat, he was naturally excited. It gave Chef Li a sense of accomplishment when everyone liked the food he made, but what gave him the biggest sense of accomplishment and peace of mind was that Miss Shuyan liked his cooking.
After classes ended at noon, Chi Shuyan got up to leave. She was a little hungry when she thought of Chef Li’s cooking, and she couldn’t wait to go to the restaurant. However, Zhen Yu called out first, “Shuyan!”
Chi Shuyan subconsciously glanced over. Zhen Yu first looked at Shuyan awkwardly, then at Yang Lan on the side. In short, she looked very embarrassed.
Zhen Yu didn’t know what was going on, but at some point, their relationship wasn’t the same as before.
Recently, Shuyan would rather eat alone than with them. She could see that Shuyan didn’t have a problem with her, but with Yang Lan. She was clearly drawing a line.
Zhen Yu’s feelings were quite complicated. Yang Lan had also told her that Shuyan had something against her. Although Zhen Yu was simple-minded, she knew that Shuyan wasn’t someone who targeted people for no reason. It could only be said that Yang Lan had crossed her bottom line.
Zhen Yu sighed in her heart. Chi Shuyan took in Zhen Yu’s complicated gaze, but she didn’t plan to bury the hatchet with Yang Lan and go back to what their relationship had been like before. She hadn’t settled scores yet. She wasn’t a saint; how could she bury the hatchet with a woman who always wanted to screw her over?
She had already figured it out!
She had a good impression of Zhen Yu, but Zhen Yu was always hanging around with Yang Lan, so Chi Shuyan could only keep her distance. “What’s the matter?”
Chi Shuyan’s tone was indifferent. She glanced at Yang Lan and took a look at her physiognomy. She saw that the Peach Blossom Doom between Yang Lan’s eyebrows and all sorts of calamities had gradually dissipated, and had been replaced with the glow of good fortune. Chi Shuyan didn’t have to think to know whose luck Yang Lan was relying on!
If Yang Lan was genuine about dating the other party, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to come out on top in this life. If it were in the past, Chi Shuyan would have been happy for her.
But Chi Shuyan now saw through Yang Lan. While she wasn’t clear what Yang Lan’s feelings were, the most fatal thing about her was her big ambition. She and Feng Qin probably wouldn’t be able to last for long. If Feng Qin couldn’t satisfy her vanity or was of no use to her…
Sooner or later, Yang Lan would dump Feng Qin. Besides, Yang Lan didn’t have true feelings for Feng Qin, and liked someone else. It would be strange if the two of them could last.
Chi Shuyan’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. She suddenly walked over to Zhen Yu and Yang Lan. Zhen Yu was about to reply to Shuyan, but when she saw her suddenly come over, she was a bit surprised. Yang Lan felt both flattered and hesitant.
Chi Shuyan said, “So, why are you looking for me?”
Seeing Chi Shuyan take the initiative to talk to her, Yang Lan heaved a sigh of relief. After all, after learning about Chi Shuyan’s abilities, she didn’t want to offend her on the surface. However, when she thought of how Chi Shuyan hadn’t given her face before and had almost shed all pretenses of cordiality, Yang Lan was a little hesitant and wary of Chi Shuyan taking the initiative to approach her.
Zhen Yu didn’t think much of it and happily replied on Yang Lan’s behalf, “Shuyan, didn’t Yang Lan say before that she has a new boyfriend and wants to treat us to a meal? Yang Lan wanted me to ask if you’re free at noon. Let’s have lunch together!”
If Chi Shuyan hadn’t already arranged to meet Jing Hengran, she really would have gone to see for herself how Yang Lan had hooked up with a man like Feng Qin. Thinking back to the last time they met, however, she wasn’t surprised that a simple and honest man like Feng Qin couldn’t outplay the scheming Yang Lan.
Chi Shuyan’s eyes flickered, but she took the initiative to say to Yang Lan without batting an eyelid, “Congratulations, Feng Qin is a good person! No wonder I see that your physiognomy and luck has been good recently, Yang Lan!”
When Yang Lan heard this, her eyes indeed lit up, and an inexplicable longing flashed in them. She was subconsciously happy and excited as she asked in a natural and familiar manner, “Shuyan, are you serious? Then, my rotten Peach Blossom Doom…?”
Chi Shuyan naturally knew what Yang Lan wanted to ask: Had her rotten Peach Blossom Doom passed? Could she rely on the other party’s good fortune to completely change her luck?
In fact, it would indeed be a great blessing if Yang Lan was content and stayed with Feng Qin, but Yang Lan was too ambitious. Chi Shuyan felt that if it wasn’t for Feng Qin’s luck, Yang Lan wouldn’t even have looked at him.
To some extent, Yang Lan was screwing Feng Qin over. If Yang Lan was a good person and the two of them were compatible, Chi Shuyan didn’t plan to interfere. However, Yang Lan clearly intended to exploit Feng Qin’s luck, which didn’t sit well with Chi Shuyan.
It would be fine if Yang Lan was content to be with Feng Qin, but if Yang Lan had suddenly found an expert to borrow Feng Qin’s luck, she could be considered to be indirectly hurting him.
Moreover, Yang Lan had looked for Chi Shuyan before to help her borrow luck; it wasn’t like she might not still have the same idea now. The reason she hadn’t gotten what she wanted the most before was probably because she hadn’t found an expert then.
As the saying went, don’t do to others what you wouldn’t have done to you.
From her past life, Chi Shuyan was well aware of how wretched it felt to have your luck borrowed. There was no reason to force this tragedy on someone else.
Thinking this, Chi Shuyan didn’t plan to let the woman in front of her off. She planned to settle old and new scores together. She pursed her lips and continued, “I’ve said before that your boyfriend’s luck is very good because of the blessings of his ancestors. If you stay by his side, your luck will naturally turn for the better, and you can even change your past luck!”
Chi Shuyan pretended not to see the light in Yang Lan’s eyes and continued, “In another month, your luck will completely change and you’ll completely escape your rotten luck with relationships!”
Sure enough!
As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Yang Lan’s face was filled with excitement and elation, and there was even some disbelief in her eyes. Her body still shook a little. She asked Chi Shuyan three times, and when she received an affirmative reply each time, Yang Lan was so happy that she went crazy. She clenched her fists until her fingers turned white, and she repeated in a shaky voice, “Shu… Shuyan, are you serious? Can… can I truly completely get rid of my rotten luck in another month, and even change it?”
Chi Shuyan nodded. “Of course. You should know that your luck has clearly improved since you got together with your boyfriend, right?”
Ever since she got together with Feng Qin, Yang Lan did feel that her luck was getting better and better. This was also the main reason why she was still with him even though she didn’t like him.
Ever since she got together with Feng Qin, Yang Lan had been in disbelief and even a little jealous of Feng Qin’s luck. It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of borrowing his luck, but she hadn’t been able to find an expert. Her original idea was to spend the rest of her life with him and use his luck to seduce the man she liked behind his back. Who would have thought that Chi Shuyan would suddenly give her such a big surprise? Yang Lan was really excited at that moment and kept saying, “Thank you, Shuyan.”
Chi Shuyan: Hehe!
