Once again, Yu Qi and Wang Fu Ya became the main topic of discussion at school. Everyone now knew how Wang Fu Ya had tried to extort money from Yu Qi through deception. Before this incident, most of the students in the classroom had ignored Yu Qi and rarely spoke to her.
Now, the situation had completely reversed. Wang Fu Ya became the one being isolated. Even Shen Mei, who had always been Wang Fu Ya's good friend, suffered the same treatment. Shen Mei had always trusted Wang Fu Ya without question. Everything Wang Fu Ya said, she believed completely. This was what people called blind trust.
Meanwhile, Feng Yue had been sticking close to Yu Qi ever since she transferred to the class. Feng Yue was a bright and cheerful girl. Even Yu Qi, who was usually cold and indifferent, would occasionally smile when talking to her.
"Why did you transfer to this school? Isn't City B more advanced than this town?" Yu Qi asked while they were having a break together.
"I was basically running away from home. I really hate staying in that house because it is full of hypocritical people." Feng Yue said honestly. "So, I followed my grandfather here. This town is much better than that place."
"Oh..." Yu Qi simply nodded.
Since Feng Yue did not elaborate further, she chose not to comment.
"What are your plans for this evening?" Feng Yue asked, clearly intending to spend more time with Yu Qi.
She found this girl genuinely interesting.
"I'm going to Godly Herbs to learn about medicine." Yu Qi replied, telling Feng Yue about her schedule.
"Grandpa Tang's shop?"
"Yes. He is my master."
"Let me come with you too. I bet my grandfather will be there as well." Feng Yue said excitedly.
Godly Herbs
"Look at this. This is that thousand-year-old ginseng. This is my treasure. My disciple is really lucky to have found this." Grandpa Tang said proudly, once again bragging to Old Man Feng.
"I've heard this story so many times already. Aren't you tired of repeating it?" Old Man Feng said, clearly annoyed.
"I bet you're just jealous of me." Grandpa Tang replied with a smug smile.
Grandfather, I'm here!" Feng Yue called out as she entered, greeting the two old men.
"Master, I'm here." Yu Qi said, giving a slight bow to Grandpa Tang and Old Man Feng.
"Yu Qi, dear, I already heard about what happened last night. That family is truly disgusting." Grandpa Tang said, showing concern for his disciple.
"Don't worry, Master. I don't think they will come looking for me for the time being. And even if they do, I naturally have my own way to deal with them." Yu Qi said with a faint sneer as she thought about the Wang Family.
"Oh, you mean the agreement you asked Mr Chu to prepare?" Grandpa Tang asked, suddenly remembering.
"Huh? What agreement?" Old Man Feng interrupted curiously.
"Mr Feng..."
"Oh, please call me, Grandpa Feng."
"Oh, okay. Do you remember that I gave them a document to sign?" Yu Qi asked.
"Yeah. I remember that." Feng Yue answered first.
"I remember it too," Old Man Feng added.
Yu Qi opened her bag and took out the document, placing it in front of them. "It's this one. You can read it."
Old Man Feng picked up the document and read it carefully. After finishing, he was momentarily speechless. He had never expected that this young girl would be so calculating and thorough.
"Yu Qi, you really gave them 10,000?" Grandpa Tang asked in shock at the amount she had given to that family.
"Yes." Yu Qi replied calmly.
Both of them were stunned into silence. Seeing his old friend's reaction, Grandpa Tang burst out laughing.
Old Man Feng finally spoke, "With this document, if they ever come to ask you for money again, you can deal with them once and for all."
"Jiang Man, you should go to your hospital sometime. Show your face and let them know you're not dead yet." Old Man Feng suddenly said seriously to Grandpa Tang.
"Don't worry. I will show up," Grandpa Tang replied with a sneer. Then he turned to Yu Qi and said in an oddly sweet tone. "Yu Qi, dear, tomorrow you will follow me somewhere. It's a learning trip. Pack your clothes for two days."
Old Man Feng, Feng Yue, and even Yu Qi herself rolled their eyes when they heard that tone. It almost sounded like a suspicious old man trying to lure someone.
"Go back. It's time for Yu Qi's lesson."
