Chapter 121: 121 Yunjing Su Family’s car! Expose [2 more updates]

"Ah Lan, get in the car with your brother, I haven’t treated you to a meal yet, so don’t be polite tonight."

"Thank you, Sister Yingxia." Ye Wanlan opened the rear car door.

She let Lin Wenli enter first before she got in herself, and then she closed the car door, cutting off Su Xubai’s line of sight.

Just as Su Xubai was about to step forward, he suddenly froze in place.

He saw the license plate number of the car—

[Yun A77777]

A car from Yunjing!

And with five 7s?

How could such a car come to pick up Ye Wanlan?

Rong Jingqiu pressed the accelerator again, and the car sped away, leaving a trail of dust behind.

Su Yingxia also caught a glimpse of Su Xubai, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked with some curiosity, "Is he Ah Lan’s suitor? But he seems to have a bad temper."

"No." Before Ye Wanlan could reply, Lin Wenli quickly objected, "He’s the one with a messed-up mind who said my sister entered the calligraphy competition just to cozy up to him and get into the Su Family."

Su Yingxia’s smile gradually faded, disbelief creeping into her tone, "Cozy up to him to get into the Su Family?"

She was there, so did her sister-in-law need to cozy up to someone else?

Well, she’d have a fit first!

"Wife, isn’t that one of your Su Family members?" Rong Jingqiu interjected, "Don’t you recognize him?"

Su Yingxia looked at him strangely, "With thousands of people in the Su Family, am I supposed to recognize them all?"

Rong Jingqiu was taken aback and nodded, "That’s true."

The Rong Family had fewer members than the Su Family, with less than a thousand in the main family branch, and even he, as the family head, couldn’t remember everyone.

Besides, not all members of the Su Family were involved in medicine; only those who studied medicine were truly at the core of the Su Family.

Many people bore the surname Su, but they had no access to the Su Family’s core secrets.

Meanwhile, at this very moment, Su Xubai was still standing there in a daze, unable to snap out of it amidst the surrounding tailpipe fumes.

"Xubai, what’s wrong?" Xue Yiwei approached and asked with concern, "Did she agree not to participate in the calligraphy competition?"

Su Xubai turned sharply, his lips pressed tightly together, "No."

He was still lost in thought—that license plate number... It seemed familiar to him.

Twenty minutes later, Rong Jingqiu parked the car in front of a riverside restaurant.

Su Yingxia led Ye Wanlan and Lin Wenli to a private room to be seated.

"The culinary delights of Jiangcheng are indeed rich, unlike in Yunjing, which is like a desert for food." Su Yingxia passed the menu to Ye Wanlan, "Ah Lan, order whatever you want."

Without any hesitation, Ye Wanlan ordered several dishes that she and Lin Wenli enjoyed.

After parking the car, Rong Jingqiu walked in and broached a subject, "Wife, I was thinking—"

"Impossible, don’t even think about it." Su Yingxia rejected him mercilessly, "Give it up, I’m not going to order you a cola. Drink less, you already had a large bottle yesterday."

Rong Jingqiu immediately deflated.

At that moment, Ye Wanlan saw in him a clear reflection of Rong Yu.

Indeed, like father, like son.

"Sister Yingxia, I have something I’d like to ask you." Ye Wanlan considered for a moment before speaking, "It’s okay if it’s not convenient to reveal."

Su Yingxia’s expression became serious, "Tell me, if I know, I will definitely tell you everything."

"I have a friend, her name is Su Xueqing," Ye Wanlan said softly, "She’s very talented in medicine, but for some reason, she was expelled from the Su Family and left with a severe psychological shadow."

As a result, Su Xueqing’s hands still tremble when she holds a needle to this day.

"You mean Su Xueqing?!" Su Yingxia’s expression changed slightly, and she sighed deeply, "That indeed involves a serious matter."

Three years ago, the Su Family treated a patient.

The patient had severe symptoms and the top hospitals were at a loss, so they were transferred to the Su Family.

But for the Su Family, the patient’s illness was not regarded as serious, so they let the young generation, including Su Xueqing, handle the treatment.

Su Xueqing led the treatment team, but in the administration of the final herb, she confused Moon Ru Flowers with Moon Tea Flowers.

The difference might seem small in name, but the former is highly toxic, while the latter is a tonic.

Despite the similar names and nearly identical appearances, aside from some slight differences in the serrations of the leaves, even Su Yingxia would need to carefully distinguish between them.

The mistake in the medicine was fatal, and the patient immediately went into severe shock.

The Su Family Elder Group scrambled, and they just managed to pull the patient back from the brink of death.

However, the Moon Ru Flowers severely damaged the patient’s bodily functions. Three years on, the patient remains paralyzed, only able to move their eyes, and requires constant care for all daily needs.

This was a very serious medical accident.

According to Su Family rules, Su Xueqing was supposed to have both hands crippled, forever banned from practicing medicine.

But in the end, other direct lineage members pleaded for her, and she was merely banished from Yunjing, forbidden from returning to the Su Family.

At that time, Su Yingxia was not in Yunjing; she was accompanying Rong Qi to Fengyuan, so she only heard about the incident later.

"It’s a pity for that child, her abilities indeed were strong, and she learned quickly," Su Yingxia shook her head, "But making such a mistake, sigh..."

"Moon Ru Flowers and Moon Tea Flowers do look almost identical," Ye Wanlan said calmly, "But as Moon Ru Flowers are such a potent poison that cannot be transformed into a powerful tonic when combined with other poisons, the Su Family wouldn’t grow it, would they?"

Su Yingxia was momentarily stunned, "That’s true, the Su Family has never cultivated Moon Ru Flowers."

"The growth conditions for Moon Ru Flowers are extremely harsh, requiring a bitterly cold environment to bloom," Ye Wanlan tapped the palm of her hand lightly, "yet Moon Tea Flowers can bloom in both high and low temperatures. How curious that these two herbs got mixed up together."

Su Yingxia’s expression changed, "Does Ah Lan mean to say... someone is deliberately causing trouble?"

She was able to join the Elders Council, naturally her strength wasn’t lacking, but what was most crucial was her high level of vigilance.

Where resources can’t be evenly distributed, cutthroat competition always exists.

Even if one stands at a high place, a moment of carelessness could lead to being pulled down.

Su Yingxia had experienced such events more than once and thus despised them deeply.

"We cannot rule out that possibility," Ye Wanlan’s eyes and brows conveyed a faint disinterest, "I’ll need to wait until I get to Yunjing before I can find out more."

The ring of a cellphone shattered the silence.

It was an unfamiliar number, and Ye Wanlan answered the call.

The person on the other end was a manager from Huangchi Entertainment, "Ye Wanlan, it’s been two months, and you still haven’t apologized. Do you really want to be blacklisted by us? Do you still intend to walk in this month’s runway show?"

Ye Wanlan remained unmoved, letting out a low chuckle, "Then go ahead and blacklist me."

Dropping out of school to become a model was something the Transcendent Woman had done, which ran counter to her original plans.

Even if she was blacklisted from the modeling circle, it wouldn’t have any impact on her life whatsoever.

On the other end of the call, the manager felt incredulous.

Ye Wanlan had always obeyed Zhou Hechen without question, running in his direction as fast as she could whenever he asked. How could she say something like this?

Throwing a tantrum?

There was no need for that, as the result would only backfire.

The manager’s expression turned cold, "Ye Wanlan, you should know, people can’t be compared to each other. Just like how, no matter how hard you try, you cannot marry into a top-tier wealthy family."

Insistent on competing with Sheng Yunyi, wasn’t that just asking for trouble?

"Indeed, I can’t marry into a top-tier wealthy family," Ye Wanlan smiled calmly, "but I will stand on the heads of those top-tier wealthy families."

Without waiting for the manager to respond, she hung up, blocked the number, all in one go.

Su Yingxia frowned, "Who was that?"

"A jumping clown," Ye Wanlan raised her glass, "Sister Yingxia, let’s drink."

Elsewhere, in a hotel, Bai Jingxue was packing his luggage.

"Dad, what do we do now?" Lin Yue looked bewildered, "But the doctor clearly said mom had become a vegetative person, I heard it with my own ears, there’s no mistake."

"Just because you heard it with your own ears, you think it must be true?" Bai Jingxue laughed with a hint of ridicule, "What if you were deceived? Your mother has always favored your sister."

Lin Yue couldn’t speak, his fists clenched tight, "Dad, I’m going with you."

"I’d like to bring you back to Harbor City too, but I can’t," Bai Jingxue shook his head, "Aunt An said, if I can’t bring your sister back, you can’t return either."

"What?!" Lin Yue jumped up, "Why can’t I return unless my sister does?"

Besides being good at the zither and having better grades, what else could Lin Qin do?

He was a racing prodigy, destined to compete in world competitions!

Bai Jingxue sighed, "Yueyue, you know dad’s situation. I’m not capable of much and rely entirely on Aunt An. If she doesn’t agree, then there’s nothing I can do."

Originally, he had planned to take both Lin Yue and Lin Qin to Harbor City, where Lin Qin could also bring him honor.

Who could have expected Lin Woyu to wake up?

Was it a trap set by the Lin Family to fool him, or were there really medical methods that could so easily revive someone from a vegetative state?

Bai Jingxue was more inclined to believe the former!

That Ye Wanlan...

The more he reminisced, the more alarmed he became.

"Yueyue, your mom’s soft-hearted. She’s just tough in words, but if you sweet-talk her, she’ll definitely let you return," Bai Jingxue added, "I have things to do, going back to Harbor City now, I’ll come see you another day."

He hurried off with his luggage, not caring that Lin Yue’s expression was turning so ugly, he was about to cry.

With the hotel room returned, Lin Yue had no choice but to leave, aimlessly wandering the streets.

Where could he go now?

It wasn’t until the sunlight in front of him was blocked by several figures.

Lin Yue looked up and saw a few burly men surrounding him, forcing him into an alley.

The leading burly man sized him up, "Lin Yue, right?"

Lin Yue felt a palpable danger emanating from the men and blurted out, "No!"

"Smack!"

The burly man simply raised his hand and slapped him hard, "Stop pretending! Brother Hu has already shown us your photo."

Lin Yue’s slight frame couldn’t withstand the blow, and he was flipped over onto the ground.

His mouth bleeding and trembling, he stuttered, "What... what do you want?"

"Want to stay alive?" The burly man smirked, "The person driving that day, it was your mother, right?"

A thought suddenly flashed through Lin Yue’s mind.

If something happened to Lin Woyu again, then Lin Qin would have no choice but to follow Bai Jingxue,
