Zhao Chuchuâs tone was calm, but Xia Chengzhu felt fear coming in like a tidal wave.
âWho is she?â
Xia Chengzhu kept asking himself.
Zhao Chuchu continued, âDo 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 donât be so ignorant and make others laugh at you. Xia Chengzhu, if you do it again, I wonât be polite to you.â
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 Chuchuâs 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 Chuchuâs words just now, he couldnât 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 Chuchuâs 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 didnât die. Then he couldnât 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 clanâs house.
Second Miss Du had instructed the doorkeepers. Even though they didnât know Zhao Chuchu, when they heard that she was here to look for Second Miss Du, they didnât make things difficult and directly invited her to the house. Then a maid led Zhao Chuchu to Second Miss Duâs courtyard.
Second Miss Du was waiting there early, and she was very excited to see Zhao
Chuchu.
âMiss 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.â Second Miss Du held Zhao Chuchuâs 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.
âSecond Miss Du, itâs hard for Miss Lin to be here. Iâve prepared tea and food. Why donât you go inside and talk?â Donglan reminded Second Miss Du.
Second Miss Du was a little embarrassed. âOh, my bad. Where are my manners? Miss Lin, please donât mind.â
âIt doesnât matter. Iâm more comfortable with you like this. Iâd feel constrained if you were polite to me everywhere.â Zhao Chuchu laughed.
âCome on. Letâs go inside.â 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.
âDonglan 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.â
âOkay.â
Zhao Chuchu tasted some, and they were delicious.
âYummy.â
âI can have Donglan pack some for you to take back if you like it.â
âThatâs great.â
Second Miss Du couldnât 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 Duâs face had obviously gotten better.
She should be almost recovered after some more time.
But Zhao Chuchu changed the medicine for Second Miss Du.
âYou can stop taking the medicine you were given before. Take this.â 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. âThis 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.â
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.
âThank you, Miss Lin.â Second Miss Du handed the medicine to the maid. âI 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. Iâm really glad I went to the poetry and literature gathering that day.â
âIt was probably fate. You didnât go anywhere that day but went to the pavilion, and then we met. If I had done something else then, we wouldnât have known each other.â
âWhy are you willing to help me, Miss Lin?â âProbably because I liked you the first time I saw you.â
Second Miss Du couldnât help but smile.
âMiss Du, Second Miss Du is entertaining a guestâ¦â At the same time, the voice of a maid sounded outside.
âI have heard it. This guest is also a friend of mine, so there is no problem in meeting her.â
Then Du Yushi came in.
Her gaze first fell on Zhao Chuchu. âI didnât expect it was really you, Miss Lin.â
âMiss Du.â Zhao Chuchu nodded slightly as a greeting.
Du Yushi couldnât 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!
âThank you for treating my second sisterâs face. Otherwise, Iâm afraid that my second sister would only be depressed all the time. In fact, I donât think outer appearance is important, and the inner part is what should be valued. Donât you think so, Miss Lin?â
âOutward appearance is also important. After all, it is the face that gives the first impression. Miss Du, you donât have to put on makeup every day if you think appearance is unimportant. Natural beauty is the real beauty.â
âMiss Lin, you think so?â âOr else?â
Du Yushi was speechless.
She didnât expect Zhao Chuchu to be so disrespectful.
Second Miss Du said indifferently, âSister, I have guests here. Iâll come back to you later if you have something to do with me.â She wanted to get rid of Du Yushi.
But Du Yushi pretended not to understand.
She continued, âMiss Lin, you are an excellent doctor, so you must have a secret recipe for beauty care, right? Can you sell me a copy?â
âWhy do you want to buy a secret recipe, Miss Du?â Zhao Chuchu had a faint smile.
Du Yushi said, âI want to give it to my mother, hoping she can stay young forever. Sister, you should think the same way, right?â
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, âSo this is her plan. She is here for Second Miss Du, not me.
âYes, she should think so, and thatâs why Second Miss Du wants to buy the secret recipe for skin care from me.â 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 sisterâs 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..
