Zhao Chuchu’s tone was calm, but Xia Chengzhu felt fear coming in like a tidal wave.
“Who is she?”
Xia Chengzhu kept asking himself.
Zhao Chuchu continued, “Do you think the Yuan clan would treat me like an honored guest if I were an ordinary person? At least you are from a big family in Guangqing Province, so don’t be so ignorant and make others laugh at you. Xia Chengzhu, if you do it again, I won’t be polite to you.”
Xia Chengzhu took another step back.
He looked at Zhao Chuchu, and the fear in his heart was even stronger.
Zhao Chuchu snickered and left without paying any attention to him.
Xia Chengzhu looked at Zhao Chuchu’s distant back and realized that his back was already wet with cold sweat.
He took a deep breath to suppress the feeling of fear.
But as long as he thought of Zhao Chuchu’s words just now, he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
He wondered whether Zhao Chuchu could make his life worse than death if he had done something.
Xia Chengzhu was no longer sure.
Zhao Chuchu’s aura made Xia Chengzhu fear from the bottom of his heart.
Even Xia Songquan had never given him this feeling.
However, Zhao Chuchu had just said something that woke up Xia Chengzhu.
He could only be a son if Xia Songquan didn’t die. Then he couldn’t be the head of the Xia clan, and the Xia clan could never belong to him.
He was still the one who could not even decide to withdraw five hundred taels of silver, and he could not even compare to Lu Ming.
This made Xia Chengzhu resentful and angry from the bottom of his heart.
He was the eldest son of the Xia clan, but Xia Songquan guarded against him like this and did not give him anything.
If he could become the head of the Xia clan, he would let his father have a taste of this.
Xia Chengzhu clenched his fist and secretly made up his mind.
Zhao Chuchu went to the Du clan after leaving the Xia clan’s house.
Second Miss Du had instructed the doorkeepers. Even though they didn’t know Zhao Chuchu, when they heard that she was here to look for Second Miss Du, they didn’t make things difficult and directly invited her to the house. Then a maid led Zhao Chuchu to Second Miss Du’s courtyard.
Second Miss Du was waiting there early, and she was very excited to see Zhao
Chuchu.
“Miss Lin, my face is really starting to recover gradually. No new red pimples have grown in the past few days, and the original ones have not turned red and swollen or pus.” Second Miss Du held Zhao Chuchu’s hand and spoke more than ever before.
The maids were all stunned.
Only Donglan was not surprised. She knew Second Miss Du liked Miss Lin the most.
“Second Miss Du, it’s hard for Miss Lin to be here. I’ve prepared tea and food. Why don’t you go inside and talk?” Donglan reminded Second Miss Du.
Second Miss Du was a little embarrassed. “Oh, my bad. Where are my manners? Miss Lin, please don’t mind.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m more comfortable with you like this. I’d feel constrained if you were polite to me everywhere.” Zhao Chuchu laughed.
“Come on. Let’s go inside.” Second Miss Du dragged Zhao Chuchu into the
room.
Donglan had prepared many exquisite snacks, some of which Zhao Chuchu had never even seen before.
“Donglan is the most skillful and good at cooking in our family. These are all things she has worked out. Miss Lin, you can try them.”
“Okay.”
Zhao Chuchu tasted some, and they were delicious.
“Yummy.”
“I can have Donglan pack some for you to take back if you like it.”
“That’s great.”
Second Miss Du couldn’t help but smile.
Donglan hurriedly left to prepare.
After drinking the tea and tasting the snacks, Zhao Chuchu stepped into the main topic and gave Second Miss Du a follow-up consultation.
After using her medicine, Second Miss Du’s face had obviously gotten better.
She should be almost recovered after some more time.
But Zhao Chuchu changed the medicine for Second Miss Du.
“You can stop taking the medicine you were given before. Take this.” Zhao Chuchu took out the medicine prepared in advance from the medicine box and gave Second Miss Du another bottle of ointment for the face. “This is to be put on the face before going to sleep. 15 minutes at least. Then you can wash it and go to sleep without using anything.”
Second Miss Du took over and opened it. She sniffed and found that the smell of medicine was very light, but instead, it had an indescribable fragrance of flowers, very refreshing.
“Thank you, Miss Lin.” Second Miss Du handed the medicine to the maid. “I used to think I would have to wear such a face for the rest of my life, but I never thought I could meet you and make my face better. I’m really glad I went to the poetry and literature gathering that day.”
“It was probably fate. You didn’t go anywhere that day but went to the pavilion, and then we met. If I had done something else then, we wouldn’t have known each other.”
“Why are you willing to help me, Miss Lin?” “Probably because I liked you the first time I saw you.”
Second Miss Du couldn’t help but smile.
“Miss Du, Second Miss Du is entertaining a guest…” At the same time, the voice of a maid sounded outside.
“I have heard it. This guest is also a friend of mine, so there is no problem in meeting her.”
Then Du Yushi came in.
Her gaze first fell on Zhao Chuchu. “I didn’t expect it was really you, Miss Lin.”
“Miss Du.” Zhao Chuchu nodded slightly as a greeting.
Du Yushi couldn’t help but frown. She had the feeling of being treated as a junior by Zhao Chuchu.
But the fact was that she was the host!
“Thank you for treating my second sister’s face. Otherwise, I’m afraid that my second sister would only be depressed all the time. In fact, I don’t think outer appearance is important, and the inner part is what should be valued. Don’t you think so, Miss Lin?”
“Outward appearance is also important. After all, it is the face that gives the first impression. Miss Du, you don’t have to put on makeup every day if you think appearance is unimportant. Natural beauty is the real beauty.”
“Miss Lin, you think so?” “Or else?”
Du Yushi was speechless.
She didn’t expect Zhao Chuchu to be so disrespectful.
Second Miss Du said indifferently, “Sister, I have guests here. I’ll come back to you later if you have something to do with me.” She wanted to get rid of Du Yushi.
But Du Yushi pretended not to understand.
She continued, “Miss Lin, you are an excellent doctor, so you must have a secret recipe for beauty care, right? Can you sell me a copy?”
“Why do you want to buy a secret recipe, Miss Du?” Zhao Chuchu had a faint smile.
Du Yushi said, “I want to give it to my mother, hoping she can stay young forever. Sister, you should think the same way, right?”
After saying that, Du Yushi looked at Second Miss Du.
The implication was that she would be respectful to her mother, but Second Miss Du, as a biological daughter, had never thought about it.
If Mrs. Du heard about this matter, she would feel bad even if she would not do anything to her own daughter.
Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows and thought, “So this is her plan. She is here for Second Miss Du, not me.
“Yes, she should think so, and that’s why Second Miss Du wants to buy the secret recipe for skin care from me.” Zhao Chuchu answered the question.
Second Miss Du should not be very good at talking. Sometimes she did not even know how to reply to her sister’s harsh words.
Zhao Chuchu had a good impression of Second Miss Du, so she did not mind helping her out and embarrassing Du Yushi.
Du Yushi had made things difficult for her at the poetry and literature gathering.
Zhao Chuchu did not have many virtues. But she had a lot of flaws and especially loved to hold grudges..
