Chapter 454: 454 A Slap in the Face Moment! All People Known by Sister Lan【2 More Updates】

Only Su Xueqing would call him "Drug Peddler"!

Zhu Yu took out his phone again and checked his conversation with Su Xueqing.

[Zhu Yu]: What does Miss Ye look like? Do you have a photo?

[Su Xueqing]: Asking this suddenly, I have reason to suspect your intentions aren’t pure. What are you up to?

[Zhu Yu]: Isn’t it said that Miss Ye is filming at the Su Family’s place today? I just happened to come over to see. I haven’t met Miss Ye yet.

[Su Xueqing]: You’re chatting with me, can’t you just search online? Aren’t you still a fan?

[Su Xueqing]: Besides, you don’t need a photo. The most beautiful one, you will recognize her in a glance.

Knowing his nickname and that she was the most beautiful one, he was certain now!

After confirming he had not mistaken the person, Zhu Yu put away his phone and approached, "Miss Ye, nice to meet you. My name remains the same, Zhu Yu, and like Xueqing, you can call me Drug Peddler, I don’t mind."

"Nice to meet you." Ye Wanlan was slightly surprised, shaking his hand. "Meeting for the first time, Ye Wanlan."

...

The place fell silent for a moment.

Zhu Yu’s introduction seemed like a slap out of nowhere, fiercely landing on Su Jinran’s face.

Her face was filled with disbelief, her complexion alternating between pale and flushed.

Zhu Yu had come to the Su Family only to look for Ye Wanlan?

How absurd!

"Wow," Xing Yue was the first to speak, "Lanlan knows him, oh no, it’s Zhu Yu who knows Lanlan. What’s going on here?"

Su Jinran’s expression turned uglier, her back teeth tightly clenched.

Especially since she could feel the astonished gazes of the director and other crew members revolving around her, like thorns in her back.

"Just now I asked Xueqing for Miss Ye’s photo, and she told me to look for the most beautiful one in the crowd," Zhu Yu said, completely ignoring Su Jinran and somewhat smugly, "Indeed, no need for a photo."

Hearing this, Su Jinran finally understood what was going on, her eyes filled with spite and venom.

It was Su Xueqing again!

Su Xueqing had left the Su Family nearly three years ago, and everyone had almost forgotten about that genius who could compare with Su Ningxiang.

Even Su Xueqing’s parents avoided her, letting her fend for herself in Jiangcheng all this time.

She really didn’t understand what was good about Su Xueqing.

In terms of medical skills, she wasn’t as good as Su Ningxiang; even in terms of background, she was still no match for Su Ningxiang.

Not to mention that Su Xueqing was now disabled and could only change her fate through the college entrance exam.

Why did Zhu Yu still maintain a good friendship with Su Xueqing?

Su Jinran’s nails were already digging into her palms.

Fortunately, Su Ningxiang had seen through everything early on and had dealt with Su Xueqing, otherwise, if they had let Su Xueqing develop till now, Su Ningxiang’s position as Young Family Head would have been insecure.

"Miss Ye, let’s talk over there," Zhu Yu said. "I’ve also brought a gift for Miss Ye."

They walked to a pavilion by the lake.

"This is Xuanbing Grass I recently grew," Zhu Yu took out a box, excitedly stating, "Though it has only been grown for ten years, its medicinal power equals that of a hundred years."

Ye Wanlan’s eyes gleamed slightly, "It’s actually Xuanbing Grass..."

Xuanbing Grass was extremely suitable for cultivating with a Xuanyin Physique, which was the most appropriate constitution for practicing the Heavenly Music Method.

Lin Qin just happened to have this physique.

That’s why she was able to rapidly increase her inner strength after laying a zither foundation for over a decade.

"Ting Xueqing mentioned that Miss Ye was originally from the Lin Family, so I thought this Xuanbing Grass must be useful," Zhu Yu expressed, "so I brought it here."

"Last time I already took a Curative Herb from you, accepting this Xuanbing Grass really seems too precious," Ye Wanlan mused. "And I have not brought a return gift today."

"Hey, no need for a return gift," Zhu Yu waved his hand. "Although this Xuanbing Grass is precious in mine and my grandfather’s garden, we don’t use it much. If Miss Ye really wants to give me a return gift, just get me a few autographs from Shen Xinghe."

"Autographs are easy to handle," Ye Wanlan nodded with a smile. "Now that you mention it, it reminds me how I can return the favor. Shen Xinghe will attend a promotional event in Yunjing this weekend, I can get you a VIP ticket."

"That’s great." Zhu Yu jumped up excitedly. "I was worried about not being able to buy the VIP ticket."

Ye Wanlan asked, "Ting Xueqing mentioned that you prefer planting cabbages?"

"Yes, growing cabbages is really difficult." Zhu Yu was very troubled. "I must have inherited my grandfather’s foolishness. Just a few days ago, I grew some extinct herbs, but I ended up killing more than a dozen cabbages."

Ye Wanlan fell silent as well.

This reminded her of a kind of kitchen disaster, where even if one followed the recipes, and someone taught them hand by hand to cook the simplest dish, they would still end up blowing up the kitchen.

Perhaps this was what they called "When Heaven closes a door."

"Miss Ye, do you have time today?" Zhu Yu graciously invited, "Why not visit my medicine garden, I can’t grow cabbages, but there’s still some baby cabbage to eat."

"I’m afraid I can’t today," Ye Wanlan declined politely, "But I will definitely come by after the recording is finished."

"Ah, that’s alright then," Zhu Yu was a bit disappointed. "When Miss Ye comes, please let me know in advance, I will pick some fine herbs planted by my grandfather to nourish you."

"Don’t mention it," Ye Wanlan smiled slightly. "You are Xueqing’s friend, and you helped me last time, there’s no need to be so formal, just call me Wanlan."

Zhu Yu got an inside ticket for Shen Xinghe’s promotional event and waved his hand delightfully, "Wanlan, be sure to remember to visit my medicine garden."

After bidding farewell to Ye Wanlan, he left the Su Family.

Su Jinran called out a few times, but couldn’t keep Zhu Yu, standing awkwardly with a flushed face.

"Cough cough... Miss Su," the director broke the silence. "The recording is still ongoing, please lead the way."

This gave Su Jinran a way to step down, she pursed her lips, "The Su Family has prepared several Taiyi Medical Practitioners for the crew. Please come this way for consultations."

To promote Shenzhou culture, the Su Family wasn’t just talking, they sent several core disciples to provide live medical treatment for filming.

"Traditional Chinese medicine’s looking, smelling, asking, and feeling diagnosis, truly lives up to its reputation," Professor Shen laughed. "I used to only see Western doctors, I didn’t expect Chinese medicine also—"

"Professor Shen, Chinese medicine is a broad field." Su Jinran interrupted Professor Shen. "Our Su Family practices Taiyi Medical Skills, which is not exactly traditional Chinese medicine."

In her view, Taiyi Medical Skills were far superior to Chinese medicine.

"Taiyi Medical Skills is just one type of Chinese medicine," Ye Wanlan tilted her head. "Taoist medicine is also within Chinese medicine, apart from that there are many other medical methods."

Su Jinran couldn’t tolerate it any longer, "Miss Ye, do you understand Taiyi Medical Skills better, or do I?"

"What I said was spoken by the last Palace Master of Taiyi Palace, Shui Yunqing," Ye Wanlan looked at her faintly. "It’s written in history books, have you read history?"

"You...!" Su Jinran choked, furious, she turned and left abruptly.

She went straight to Su Ningxiang’s courtyard, flung herself into her arms, nearly crying: "Sister, I really can’t stand it anymore, why should an outsider keep criticizing our family?"

"The less capable someone is, the more they criticize others," Su Ningxiang patted her head. "There, Jinran, just bear with it a bit longer."

"And just now, even Zhu Yu came to see her, it’s all because of Su Xueqing!" Su Jinran took a deep breath. "Sister, what if Zhu Yu stops supplying us with herbs?"

"Don’t worry." Su Ningxiang smiled. "The ancestral agreement was witnessed by Heaven and Earth. If Zhu Yu breaks it, he would be better off dead."

Su Jinran spitefully said, "Sister, you should have just taken Su Xueqing’s life back then."

"I prefer to see her worse than dead," Su Ningxiang’s expression was malicious. "Alive, she can never return to the Su Family, nor can she practice medicine. It’s truly a pitiful sight..."

Su Jinran was somewhat comforted, "Sister, have you planned how to deal with Ye Wanlan?"

"Yes," Su Ningxiang said nonchalantly. "Just watch."

**

Two hours later, without Su Jinran, the crew finally successfully completed all their filming.

The director breathed a sigh of relief, frowned, and whispered to Producer Liu, "Is there a way to have Su Jinran quit without offending the Su Family?"

"You ask me?" Producer Liu pointed to his own nose. "I definitely have no way, the Su Family could crush me with a flick."

The director was at a loss for words, "Then it seems we must find Miss Ye, Miss Ye—"

He turned around, only to realize Ye Wanlan had disappeared.

"Teacher Shen, Teacher Xu," the director asked, "Have you seen Miss Ye?"

Xu Qingyu nodded, "Wanlan went to the restroom, she will be back soon."

"Let’s wait for her here then," the director nodded and revisited today’s footage.

Just as Xu Qingyu said, Ye Wanlan was indeed in the restroom.

She had just finished drying her hands when someone suddenly covered her mouth and nose from behind with a handkerchief.

After five seconds, Ye Wanlan quietly spoke, "Are you waiting for me to fall down?"
