Chapter 59: What Other People Have, His Little Friend Must Have Too

This guy was clearly doing this on purpose.
Why didn’t she realize that Mr Gu had such a bad personality?
Lu Miao’s lips twitched. ” No need, thank you. ”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
After saying that, she pretended to be elegant and calm as she nodded slightly at Gu Shiyan. Then, she took the clothes and left this suffocating place.
Gu Shiyan could not help but chuckle when he heard the sound of the door next door slamming tight impatiently.
It was rare to see her show such a childish side.
His little friend was indeed very cute.
He lifted his long legs and walked in. He bent down and picked up the underwear that had fallen to the ground with his fingers.
He had only come back at the last minute to get something. He did not expect to encounter such a fun scene.
It seemed that he had to come back more often in the future.
Although he knew that she couldn’t really have come to take him because she lacked clothes, after thinking about it carefully, she did not seem to have any clothes.O
Every time he saw her, except for the first time when he went to pick her up at the Lu family’s house, she was wearing a plain school uniform.
Her small, unadorned face had no makeup on it, and even her hair tie was the simplest black one.
Thinking about how Gu Xingyu wished she could change into ten outfits a day and how vain she was, he lightly touched his chin.
What other people had, his little friend also had to have, and they had to have more and better.
Lu Miao returned to her room and covered her face.
This was too embarrassing!
Fortunately, Gu Shiyan did not ask too much. Otherwise, she might have really considered running away from home.
Luckily, Gu Shijian didn’t stay at home for too long. Before long, the sound of a car leaving could be heard outside the window.o
Lu Miao walked to the window and watched the car lights gradually fade away. After confirming that he had really left, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She placed the T-shirt in the box that she had prepared in advance and placed her index and middle fingers together between his eyebrows.
A silvery-white light was drawn out from her forehead like a stream of water.
Almost instantly, Lu Miao’s face turned pale.
This was her origin energy, and also the foundation that supported all her spells.
To all cultivators in the Metaphysic World, this was something more important than their lives.
After coming to this world, she had only cultivated this little.
But this was the only way for her to truly deceive everyone.
As soon as the origin energy was drawn out, it immediately showed signs of scattering.
Lu Miao quickly formed a hand seal with her fingers and formed a small light formation around the ball of origin energy. Then, she slapped it into the T-shirt and placed it in a box.
She quickly took a silver dagger that she had prepared beforehand and cut her fingertip. She drew a talisman on the paper and sealed it outside the box.
After doing all of this, she could not help but feel a little dizzy.
This body was still too weak. All of her origin energy was suddenly extracted, and she could not withstand it for a moment.
Lu Miao held onto the table in front of her and rested for a moment before she finally felt better.
She found a secret place to put the box away.
A faint pain came from her fingertips, and he lowered her eyes to take a look.
Because she didn’t have the origin energy, her mind was in a daze.
The wound on her fingertip was still bleeding.
She turned around and went downstairs to find the first aid kit. She applied some hemostatic medicine to her wound before she reluctantly turned around to wash up and rest.
The next morning, Lu Miao was awakened by a knock on the door.
She opened her heavy eyes. Her head and body were filled with pain.
Every movement and every breath was accompanied by unbearable pain.
This was the consequence of having too much origin energy extracted.
She took a deep breath and got up to open the door.
She saw a few servants standing at the door with all kinds of bags in their hands. There was also a long row of bags on the floor of the corridor by her door.
There were all kinds of luxurious logo on the bags, from jewelry to skincare products, cosmetics, various styles of clothes, and even underwear.
Auntie Xiu saw her and said with a smile, ” Second Master had someone send these from overseas overnight. They’re all the latest models that haven’t been released yet.
Take a look and see if you like it. If you don’t like it, Second Master said that you can make do with it first. In the next two days, he will arrange for a designer to come and tailor it according to your preferences.”
Lumiao raised her hand to her forehead. Hiring the top designer to come over? She was sure that Gu Shijian would do something like this.
She endured the pain in her chest and waved her hand. ” No need. These are enough. Leave them in the room.
Auntie Xiu immediately smiled and called the servants behind her to bring the things into the room.
Gu Jinxi was still sleeping, and Lu Miao was the only one at the breakfast table. “Auntie Xiu, didn’t Auntie Shen come back last night?”
Xiu Yi shook her head with self-blame, “I asked the driver, Lao Cao said that the young master’s condition was very serious. He had throat swelling which caused an airway obstruction, and he almost suffocated. He was treated in the emergency room for a long time last night.”
“It’s all my fault. I knew that Young Master couldn’t touch chili. When Young Master came back last night, I shouldn’t have made that spicy chicken.” Her eyes reddened as she spoke.
Although Madam did not blame her, if it was not for her carelessness, this would not have happened.
“Madam is so good to me. If something really happens to Young Master this time, how could I live with myself?” “He will be fine. Don’t worry too much.”
Lu Miao comforted her.
Gu Ziheng’s throat was injured by poison. It was not an irreversible and incurable disease for her. It was just that it was a little troublesome to fully recover.
After school in the afternoon, Lu Miao did not go home. Instead, she went to the herb medicine market.
She didn’t plan on getting involved with Gu Ziheng’s matter originally, but that dish at the dinner table was because of her.
This is what they called “unintended consequences”.
Auntie Xiu had always treated her well, so she couldn’t let her continue to feel guilty about this.
Metaphysic people were the most concerned about karma. This matter started because of her, and she needed to end this karma.
Otherwise, even if she leaves in the future, she would definitely be implicated.
As soon as she entered the market, she could smell the fragrance of medicine.
Those who could open a shop in the medicinal herb market all knew some traditional Chinese medicine skills.
When the store owner saw the prescription she gave, his eyes instantly lit up.
He looked her up and down. ” Young girl, this prescription of yours is for the throat, right?”
“Yes.” Lu Miao replied casually.
The store owner asked excitedly, ” May I ask where this prescription came from?
The combination of the herbs on the prescription looked very strange. Some of the herbs were even poisonous when placed together.
But examining it carefully, it seemed to complement each other.
When different poisons were put together, they could produce another stronger medicinal effect.
Nowadays, Western medicine is prevailing while traditional Chinese medicine is declining.
However, in fact, traditional Chinese medicine is stronger than Western medicine.
It’s just that traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine. There was not much theoretical research or scientific basis.
It mostly emphasizes the compatibility and incompatibility of the properties of herbs. There are many herbs, such as Ren Shen Huang, Cinnabar, and Purple perilla, that are even difficult to understand. Sometimes, even a brick could be used as medicine. This has led to more and more people not believing in traditional Chinese medicine.
His family could be considered a traditional Chinese medicine family. Naturally, he could understand the preciousness of this prescription at a glance.
Lu Miao casually made up a story. ” It’s passed down in my family.”
“I wonder if your family has the intention to sell this prescription?” The store owner looked at her with anticipation.
Lu Miao refused without hesitation. ” No. ‘
Although the store owner was a little disappointed, he was not surprised. Such a precious prescription could become a proprietary prescription in the hands of any doctor.
Moreover, if he applied for a patent from the relevant department and cooperated with a pharmaceutical factory, he could live a carefree life with the patent alone.
Naturally, she wouldn’t just sell people.
After thinking for a while, he said, ” How about this? I won’t buy out your prescription. I’ll only buy the right to use it.
I can pay you a deposit of 100,000 yuan. In the future, I’ll split the profits with you 70 – 30 for every piece sold.
Seven for you, three for me.
As for publicity and operations, I’ll be fully responsible for them.
You just need to collect the money at home.”
Seeing Lu Miao’s listless face with her eyes downcast, it seemed like she had no intention of agreeing at all.
He quickly added, ” Don’t reject me yet. You can go back and discuss it with your family first.
If it was a matter of price, they could discuss it again.”
“Okay.” Lu Miao responded lazily and did not say anything else. Knowing that she did not agree, he did not force her. He only asked if he could leave her phone number.
“I’ll come again if I need it.”
Lu Miao glanced at him and left after taking the medicine.
If the timing of brewing, the heat, and the order of adding the herbs into the pot were incorrect, the medicinal effects would be compromised.
This was also the reason why she dared to give the prescription directly to him, without any fear of it being stolen.
As soon as she left, the boss immediately turned around and went back to his room. He took out his phone and dialed a number..
