Chapter 140: Refusal
Yiyi heard Yang Liu’s words and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
"Even if she came all the way from Shangjing, I don’t seem to have any obligation to check her out, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Liu’s face reddened, "Yiyi, it’s your freedom, you can choose who you want to treat, if you really don’t want to treat Fang Chan, that’s okay, nobody’s forcing you."
Yiyi couldn’t help but smile as she looked at Yang Liu and said, "Teacher Yang, you’ve been persuaded by just a few words from me, how are you going to explain to the Fang family when you get home?"
"Why should I explain to them? Being able to ask you in person is already showing them enough respect."
Yang Liu really couldn’t stand Fang Chan, who was arrogant and loved bullying others. Previously, when she was at the Fang family’s main house, Fang Chan took advantage of Fang Cheng’s distraction to bully her. Although she hadn’t mentioned it to Fang Cheng, she kept it in her heart. Besides, this time Fang Chan also hit Aunt Ding, and the attitude of inviting Yiyi for treatment was so condescending, deep down she felt there was no need for Yiyi to go.
Upon hearing Yang Liu’s words, Yiyi couldn’t help but nod, saying, "Teacher did the right thing."
She could see some of the situation at the Fang family, so Yang Liu being able to remain neither humble nor arrogant was commendable; she wasn’t always feeling inferior or trying to adapt even though the Fang family did not acknowledge her.
"By the way, Yiyi, do you still have the Jade Fragrance Pill you gave me last time?"
Speaking of the Jade Fragrance Pill that Yiyi let her take last time, Yang Liu was amazed. Since taking it, she noticeably felt her skin had improved, like a young girl of seventeen or eighteen, and there was a subtle, elegant fragrance wafting from her body. The effect of the Jade Fragrance Pill was simply miraculous.
"One Jade Fragrance Pill is enough after taking just one."
Yang Liu quickly shook her head and said, "It’s not for me, it’s for a good friend."
"The Jade Fragrance Pill is a rarity that can’t be sought after. If calculated in monetary terms, it’s priceless, and I don’t have any left. I gave you one, and the rest were given to my family and Er Ya."
The Jade Fragrance Pill is indeed rare; if not for the herbs that Mo Ping collected this time, she simply couldn’t have made them.
Later, Mo Ping went back to collect those herbs, but couldn’t find them again, which shows the preciousness of the Jade Fragrance Pill.
Upon hearing this, Yang Liu’s face was full of shame.
She really hadn’t expected the pill to be so precious, so she hurriedly said, "Yiyi, I’m really sorry, I didn’t know the pill was so rare."
Saying this, she thought of the Jade Fragrance Pill that Yiyi gave her, and instantly felt unworthy of receiving it.
"If I had known the pill was so precious, I wouldn’t have accepted it back then."
Hearing these words, Yiyi laughed and said, "Teacher, of course you should take the pill. Back then, Brother Fang gave me that box, and if you hadn’t taken the pill, I would’ve had to return that box."
The jewels in that box might not be worth much in this era, but they will only become more valuable with time.
"Yiyi, those jewels can still be bought, but the Jade Fragrance Pill money can’t buy." Before she didn’t know, she thought Yiyi could make them easily, but now hearing Yiyi’s words, she realized the rarity of the Jade Fragrance Pill.
"No matter what, the Jade Fragrance Pill is something Teacher deserves to have." Because of the Jade Fragrance Pill’s preciousness, Yiyi was able to accept that box of jewels with ease.
After exchanging a few more words, Yang Liu bid farewell to Yiyi, but as soon as she arrived home, Fan Lizhen came up and asked, "How was it, did your student come with you?"
Seeing her mother-in-law’s eagerness, Yang Liu shook her head and said, "Yiyi didn’t come."
"What... you useless person, weren’t you supposed to bring her over?"
Fang Cheng frowned beside them and said, "Whether Yiyi comes or not is not something Liu’er can control, and besides, Fang Chan previously offended Yiyi’s mother and daughter, so why do you think she’ll willingly come over to treat Fang Chan?"
"Isn’t she that girl’s teacher? Since she’s the teacher, can’t she bring the student over? It’s really useless."
Hearing his mother repeatedly belittle his wife, Fang Cheng’s face directly darkened.
"Mom, since Yiyi didn’t come, then just leave it at that. You go invite Yiyi yourselves, don’t put Liu’er in a difficult position, moreover Fang Chan was the one who offended Yiyi’s mother and daughter, if you want Yiyi to agree, you’d better personally go and apologize."
"No way, why should Xiao Chan apologize to that mother and daughter pair?"
Hearing Fan Lizhen’s words, Fang Cheng’s face was full of ridicule.
"If that’s the case, then let Fang Chan continue lying in bed."
Even though Fang Cheng hadn’t spent much time with Yiyi, he had some understanding of Yiyi’s character, and more importantly, he understood Ding Yuejun’s place in her heart.
This time it wasn’t anyone else that Fang Chan hit, but Ding Yuejun, so one can imagine Yiyi’s anger, and Fang Chan wants Yiyi to treat her, other than personally apologizing, he thinks no other method will work.
Seeing her son’s indifference and cruelty, Fan Lizhen’s expression became even worse, and finally, she gave Yang Liu a resentful glare and left angrily.
Fang Chan was at this moment lying hopelessly on the hotel bed, and upon seeing her mother return, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
"Mom, did she come?"
These days lying weakly in bed finally made Fang Chan realize her own fragility.
So this is what it feels like to be unable to care for oneself, she simply couldn’t imagine what she would do if she had to spend the rest of her life in bed.
Just thinking about this possibility made her feel like she’d go crazy.
Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Fan Lizhen’s expression turned a little sour, and finally, she said, "That little b*tch didn’t come along."
"Mom, wasn’t that woman her teacher? Didn’t she go to invite and still couldn’t bring her?"
"Who knows what that woman said to that little b*tch, anyway she just didn’t come."
"Mom, then go again, I don’t want to lie in bed like this anymore."
Seeing her daughter’s hopeless expression, Fan Lizhen hurriedly reassured her by saying, "Xiao Chan, don’t worry, of course, Mom won’t let you like this."
"But Mom, even that master you invited says we must have the person who poisoned me come in person to detoxify, otherwise she’s helpless. Other than inviting that little b*tch, there’s no other way."
Fan Lizhen also knows that at the moment other than going to invite Yiyi, there’s no other way, but having to swallow her pride to invite people, she can’t do it either, so the situation is at an impasse.
"Xiao Chan, Mom will think of another way."
