BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76 - 76: Online Announcement
“Sorry.” The doctor uttered just these two words. “The young lady didn’t say anything. I have other matters to attend to, so I must go.”
Zuo Xianyu wasn’t sure what her family had done to elicit such a response from medical professionals, even going so far as to mention meet your maker
“Alright, I understand,” Zuo Xianyu exhaled slowly. “Thank you.”
The call ended, and she rubbed her temples, finding herself devoid of the will to continue working.
From a young age, Zuo Xianyu had been a child of fortune, encountering few obstacles in her path.
Yet, even when she used her family and herself as bargaining chips, she was still rejected by the other party.
Learning from the hospital that the so-called mysterious doctor was quite young, a sense of displeasure involuntarily rose within Zuo Xianyu.
She mentally sifted through the younger generation in the five states of Great Xia and the city of Sijiu, but couldn’t identify anyone who matched the description.
Although the medical family of Su in the city of Sijiu had a daughter in this generation, her specialty wasn’t cardiology.
As for the Ning family in the city of Yan, Zuo Xianyu didn’t even consider them. The Ning family specialized in shamanistic healing, which had no connection to modern medicine and never involved hospitals.
Zuo Xianyu shook off her thoughts and forced herself back into a working mindset.
At two in the afternoon, the door creaked open, and Zuo Qingya tiptoed in, looking rather guilty.
“Bang!”
A sound echoed as the pen holder was knocked onto the floor.
Zuo Xianyu icily said, “You have the nerve to come back!”
Startled, Zuo Qingya’s earlier arrogance, when she was with Lin Qingyan, instantly evaporated. “Second… Second Sister.”
“You’ve even managed to get yourself to the police station. Impressive,” Zuo Xianyu’s expression was frosty. “Next time you fall into Si Fuqing’s hands, don’t expect anyone at home to save you.”
Although Zuo Qingya didn’t end up with a criminal record, the incident of her being taken to the police station couldn’t be concealed.
By tomorrow at the latest, it would spread like wildfire among the wealthy circles of Lin.
The face of the Zuo family was utterly lost!
Biting back her anger, Zuo Xianyu declared, “You’re not allowed to leave the house for a month.”
Zuo Qingya was clearly unhappy. “Second Sister!”
“Enough, listen to your sister,” Zuo Tianfeng also seemed impatient. “The old lady is returning from Sijiu. Do you want to make her sick with worry again?” Zuo Qingya shrank her neck and didn’t dare to speak anymore.
“Grandmother is being discharged?” Zuo Xianyu furrowed her brow. “What about Si Fuqing…”
Other than the Old Master Zuo, the old lady also had a soft spot for Si Fuqing.
If Si Fuqing decided to visit the old lady, there was a chance she might invite her back out of compassion.
“Coincidentally, as soon as your grandmother returns, we will formally annul the adoption agreement with Si Fuqing,” said Zuo Tianfeng. “Your grandmother is sensible and knows the importance of matters. We absolutely can’t let Si Fuqing continue to be a leech on the Zuo family.”
“The Huangshan Droiect will be finalized soon: I want to see Si Fuainc lose everything she took from the Zuo family.”
It was time for her to spit out the two billion she took away.
Zuo Xianyu nodded, and then recounted the episode at the hospital.
“Rejected?” Zuo Tianfeng also frowned. “Forget it. Weren’t we planning to help
Young Master Yu Yao find the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand? Compared to
Ghosthand, this mysterious doctor is hardly worth mentioning.”
After learning from Yu Yao about how sublime the medical skills of Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand were, Zuo Tianfeng became exceedingly curious.
“Alright, I’ll keep an eye out,” Zuo Xianyu agreed.
The next day, around 11:30 AM.
Si Fuqing and Qu Lingyun met at a tea restaurant.
While waiting for her, Qu Lingyun was engrossed in watching ‘Youth With You.’ Just as he finished watching Xie Yu’s performance, Si Fuqing arrived.
“You’re here,” Qu Lingyun put down his tablet. “Sit, sit.”
Without going through the formality, Si Fuqing sat across from him and picked up a pastry to nibble on.
She leaned back in her chair, eyes half-closed, appearing as languid as a fox basking in the sun.
“No wonder you asked me for a set of men’s clothes the other day,” Qu Lingyun nodded approvingly. “Your student has excellent stage control, a steady style, and great facial expressions.”
“But speaking of which, he’s a fan of Yunlan, right? Seems like he’s picked up a thing or two from her.”
He found Xie Yu’s dance strangely familiar because he indeed saw shades of Yun Lan in it.
Si Fuqing paused, then drawled, “Probably… not.”
“Really?” Qu Lingyun was genuinely surprised. “There are basically two kinds of people in Great Xia: fans of Yun Lan and those on their way to becoming fans. He’s not one yet? I must—”
“Hold on,” Si Fuqing interrupted. “1 think you’re exaggerating.”
“No, absolutely not!” Qu Lingyun insisted. “Ah, I understand. You’re new to the entertainment industry and don’t realize how high her status is in Great Xia.”
Despite facing prejudice and discrimination, she had single-handedly made a name for herself in Glenn, subduing the entire entertainment industry.
Such an honor was unparalleled.
Si Fuqing remained silent.
She hadn’t spent much time in Great Xia and indeed was unaware.
“When I have time, I’ll meet this student of yours,” Qu Lingyun contentedly re-watched Xie Yu’s performance. “I want to sign him to my studio, what do you think?”
“Hmm?” Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. “You want to snatch my yet-to-debut student? Isn’t that a bit unethical?”
“Ahem,” Qu Lingyun coughed awkwardly. “It’s rare to see such talent. I’m eager, alright? But you casually gave away a garment, and that hurt me.”
He had only a few Moon Embroidery clothes, and he had planned to gift one to Si Fuqing.
But Si Fuqing didn’t take it and gave it to Xie Yu instead.
“What’s there to be pained about?” Si Fuqing rested her chin on her palm, her expression nonchalant. “Just weave some more.”
“Weave some more?” Qu Lingyun’s tone heightened. “You say it as if weaving
Moon Embroidery is as simple as drinking water.”
Si Fuqing nodded seriously, “It’s a bit more tiring than drinking water, given that you have to use both hands.”
Qu Lingyun was at a loss for words. Her logic was irrefutable.
“It’s not about whether we can weave them,” Qu Lingyun sighed. “The artisans who make them have disappeared. You may not believe it, but the few pieces I have were bought from a village during a film shoot with Yun Lan. When I went back later, the village was deserted, without a trace.”
Si Fuqing was silent for a moment, then softly said, “I see.”
“Also, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be leaving the city of Lin soon,” Qu Lingyun switched to a serious tone. “If you have anything, let me know.” Si Fuqing nodded.
“Today, East Moon will announce their spokesperson,” Qu Lingyun added. “I don’t require you to go without makeup on the show, but you must show your real face for the advertisements and promotional photos.”
Si Fuqing clicked her tongue, “Fine.”
“We’ll take some promotional photos on Friday,” Qu Lingyun glanced at the time. “Right after that, I’ll catch my flight.”
Si Fuqing remarked, “You’re truly non-stop. A deserving King of the Rat Race.” Qu Lingyun was puzzled, “What?”
“Nothing,” Si Fuqing instantly became serious. “I mean, Director Qu works hard and is very diligent.”
“Yes, we can’t slack off in our work,” Qu Lingyun nodded. “Eat up, I have work to do.”
Si Fuqing began eating without any psychological burden.
On the side, a certain mythical Pixiu’s paws rested on the bag, its eyes fixated on the watch Qu Lingyun was wearing.
It really wanted to eat it.
Si Fuqing noticed and slapped the creature’s head, “You just had a gold brick yesterday; stop drooling and don’t even think about it.”
Little Bai: “…’
Whimpering, it thought, my owner is the worst.
East Moon, a brand under Lan’s banner, had not revealed this affiliation, so attention was limited. Still, some people were very excited about this rare national-style brand.
The post read, “@SiFuqing, let’s journey together in the days ahead,” accompanied by a silhouette of Si Fuqing.
The internet exploded.
[Si Fuqing? Am I seeing this right? Her???]
[Why not choose a good-looking model? Si Fuqing? Are they insane?]
[LOL, did they only post a silhouette because they know her face is unbearable?]
[Si Fuqing must really have some capital, huh? A dance mentor on Youth With You,’ and now she even snagged the East Moon endorsement. Who wouldn’t call that impressive?]
[I don’t mean to target Si Fuqing, but does she have acting skills or looks? Why is she the face of a national-style clothing brand? While modeling doesn’t require one to be a beauty, Si Fuqing, let’s hear it from you.. With your face that’s hard to look at, do you think you’re worthy?]
