Chapter 21
Chapter 21: Your Master Is That Incredible?
Su Qian took Lin Qin to the hotel. Lin Qin finally calmed down a little.
“Tell me exactly what happened.”
Under Su Qian’s questioning, Lin Qin told her everything from start to finish.
“What kind of people are they? They’re worse than animals!” Su Qian snapped, getting angrier the more she listened.
They were treating their own daughter’s lifelong happiness like a cash deal.
Could real parents really do something like that?
“Tomorrow you go back to school and attend class. Study hard and don’t think about anything else. Finish the college entrance exam first, then we’ll talk.”
Since she had promised Lin Yue she would look after her sister,
Su Qian was going to handle this properly.
“Sister Su Qian… will I cause you trouble?” Lin Qin asked uneasily.
She didn’t want to drag Su Qian into this.
Su Qian smiled. “What trouble? Don’t overthink it, kid. I’m here.”
From Lin Qin, Su Qian saw her own past self.
Back then, her adoptive mother had hidden her acceptance letter and forced her to marry.
If Su Qian hadn’t jumped from upstairs and made the whole thing blow up, her life might have been completely ruined.
Helping Lin Qin wasn’t just helping her – it was also saving the person she used to be.
“Right. That big brother your brother keeps talking about – do you have a photo?” Su Qian suddenly asked.
An idea had already formed in her mind.
Lin Qin froze, then nodded quickly. “I have him on WeChat. Everyone calls him Brother Biao. There are lots of photos on his Moments. I’ll find them right now.”
Lin Qin quickly took out her phone and scrolled through Brother Biao’s WeChat Moments.
Before long, she found a few photos and showed them to Su Qian.
Su Qian studied the person in the pictures, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
This thug leader looked greasy and arrogant. If Lin Qin really got married to someone like this, her whole life would be ruined.
“Alright. Send the photos to me.” The two of them added each other on WeChat.
Lin Qin immediately sent the photos to Su Qian, and Su Qian comforted her a bit more.
Then Su Qian transferred one hundred thousand to her.
Lin Qin jumped in fright. “Sister Su Qian, I can’t take this money.”
“Take it. This is your sister’s money too.”
Lin Qin was still confused, not understanding what Su Qian meant.
Su Qian didn’t give her a chance to refuse. After reminding her to rest well, she went back to the room next door.
It wasn’t that Su Qian was stingy. Lin Qin was still a student. If she gave her too much money, it might end up harming her.
The kitten Su Qian had brought from Lin Yue’s home meowed on the bed. It was adorable, so Su Qian casually took a photo and sent it to the group chat.
Lin Yue had just returned to her residence from the palace.
A notification sounded in her head, and she saw Su Qian’s message.
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “The kitten is really cute. I’ll raise it for now. By the way, what’s its name? @Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue)”
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “It’s called Ning Meng. It’s a little dummy. Qian Qian girl, I won’t say thanks for a big favor – you’re my real sis!”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “No need to be polite. Oh right, I met Xiao Qin. The college entrance exam is coming up soon. I heard from her teacher her grades are pretty good. She might get into a good university.”
Su Qian chose to hide the Lin Family’s current situation.
After all, Lin Yue was in another world. Even if she knew, it would only add worry and trouble.
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “?Excited?See? I told you! This girl is way more capable than me. When she gets into university, I’m going to set up a few banquet tables at the prince’s residence no matter what.”
Even through the screen, Su Qian could feel Lin Yue’s excitement.
That was Lin Yue’s only blood relative left on Earth.
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “That kitty is so cute! Sister Qian Qian, you like small animals? Next time, how about I teleport a spirit beast over to you?”
Su Qian saw that message and jolted.
She shot upright in bed.
A spirit beast!!!
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “Ahem, better not. That kind of rare thing – if it showed up on Earth, it would probably get dragged into a lab for research.”
Su Qian was tempted, but reason won out.
Besides, up to now, everyone had only teleported supplies and objects. No one had ever teleported a living creature.
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Oh, what a shame. I was going to give you a spirit crane. Riding a spirit crane for a breeze is so comfortable.”
Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “?Jealous face?I want to ride a spirit crane for a breeze too.”
Su Qian, on the other side of the screen, felt so jealous she could cry.
Riding a spirit crane for fun?
Girl, is it that I don’t want to?
No – the conditions just don’t allow it!
Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “If you’ve got time to catch spirit cranes, you might as well dig up more spirit herbs and spirit plants for Qian Qian girl. Once her pharmaceutical company goes public, your whole mountain is probably going to get plucked bald.”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Not afraid. Yesterday Master took us to loot Pill Array Hall. That mountain has nothing else, but it’s packed with spirit herbs and spirit plants.”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “?Stunned?Your Master is that incredible, and he takes you out to loot places every day?”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “?Smug?Of course. But Master got a bit injured. I don’t know where he ran off to recover.”
Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “Your Master is that strong, and he can still get injured?”
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “In the original story he’s the big villain, and I’m the little cannon fodder. Have you ever seen a big villain beat the main character?”
Su Qian’s mouth twitched slightly. That… actually made sense.
Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Right, Sister Qian Qian, have you found a reliable pharmaceutical company to work with?”
That finally reminded Su Qian of the partnership with Zhou Ran.
Su Qian replied: “I already found one. I’m just waiting for him to finish testing the pills. The partnership will definitely work.”
Su Qian had absolute confidence in that.
…
Zhou Ran took the pills Su Qian gave him and went home, lost in thought.
The small pill gave off a strange aura. It made him curious, but also cautious.
If the pill really was as miraculous as Su Qian claimed,
then working with her would be a huge opportunity.
Just as Zhou Ran was thinking about whether he should find a professional medical testing agency to test the pill,
a black sedan slowly drove up to the villa.
The one who got out was Zhou Ran’s brother, Zhou Shu Yu.
He was a business elite, the standout of the younger generation, with a steady and powerful presence.
Zhou Ran noticed Zhou Shu Yu’s hand was wrapped in bandages.
He quickly asked with concern, “Bro, what happened to your hand?”
Zhou Shu Yu frowned slightly and said lightly, “Just a small injury. It’s nothing.”
Injured?
Zhou Ran’s heart stirred, and he thought of the wound-healing pill Su Qian had given him.
Should he let his brother try it?
The thought appeared, and Zhou Ran immediately shook his head.
Letting his own brother be a test subject didn’t feel right.
“What’s wrong with you?” Zhou Shu Yu asked, noticing his brother zoning out and shaking his head.
Zhou Ran hurriedly denied it and said it was nothing.
He steered the topic back to Zhou Shu Yu’s injury, asking question after question until Zhou Shu Yu got annoyed.
“When I was inspecting the site, I got cut by a machine.” Zhou Shu Yu frowned as he explained. “Why are you acting weird today?”
“Tsk, I’m just worried about you.” Zhou Ran laughed it off.
He stepped closer, staring at Zhou Shu Yu’s bandaged arm.
As if possessed, he reached out and pinched the bandaged area.
“Hiss!” Zhou Shu Yu sucked in a sharp breath. “What are you doing? Don’t you know I’m injured?”
