Chapter 734: Don’t Tell Me You’re The One Who Created This Prohibited Drug?
Anya ended up agreeing to treat He Fei.
She took out a bottle from her cloth bag, poured out a pill, and passed it to Zi Yi. “Feed this to him.”
Zi Yi took the pill, sniffed it, and listed the medicinal ingredients used to create the pill. She then looked at Anya and asked, “Don’t tell me you’re the one who created this prohibited drug, yes?”
Anya actually admitted it, but she still explained why. “Fighting and killing happen rather often there and it’s easy to break an arm or leg. Moreover, there are many people who would take drugs. These types of people would only end up worse off than in the first place. They wanted to get a faster relief, so I created that type of drug.”
Zi Yi called for Shadow. “Feed this pill to He Fei.”
Subsequently, she asked Anya, “Since you created this drug, it must be selling like hotcakes. You didn’t make any money from it?”
Her question seemed to have struck Anya’s open wound. She said sullenly, “All the money was cheated away from me by my heartless brother. He said that I can’t even save the money if it’s given to me, so he took the money to invest it.”
Zi Yi somehow thought of Lu Yunxiao when Anya said that.
Yunxiao didn’t know how to spend money, so he gave all of it to Ah Jing to invest.
Anya could not save her money, so her brother invested her money for her.
Zi Yi asked, “You seem like you travel around a lot. Where do you get your money from to do this?”
“I earned it. I earn money wherever I go.”
In any case, she won’t die from starving.
Zi Yi: “…”
After the meal break, they continued traveling on the road.
As they were not in a rush and Lu Jingye was worried about the baby in Zi Yi’s belly, he planned to drive back the entire way to the capital and had no intentions of taking a plane.
The row of cars only arrived at the border the next morning.
The further they headed to the North, the colder it became.
The next day, He Fei woke up in the afternoon.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to question Zi Yi. “Why did you do that to me?”
Zi Yi found his question puzzling.
However, Lu Jingye immediately guessed the meaning behind his words and said, “The one you met, in the end, was not Yiyi. It was one of the woman’s people.”
He Fei opened his mouth and wanted to refute but Zi Yi coldly asked, “What did that woman do to you with that face of mine?”
He Fei’s expression changed and he suddenly turned silent.
When he was carrying Zi Yi back then, she was indeed acting weird. She had even purposely breathed in his ears and throughout the whole journey, his brain was in a daze. He thought that it was Zi Yi purposely teasing him.
Now that he was clear-headed, he knew that it was impossible even without thinking further.
This woman won’t even go near him, not to mention letting him carry her.
At the thought that he had carried a strange woman, He Fei felt as though a mosquito was stuck in his throat. He felt that he would never dare to let any woman approach him again in the future.
He suddenly thought of someone and asked, “Where’s Ah Ming?”
He looked around the car and when he did not see the person he was looking for, he continued looking around.
When he saw Lu Yunxiao leaning against the RV and drinking water, his eyes widened in surprise.
“Ouyang Ming was killed in that explosion.”
He Fei’s body stiffened at her words. He suddenly turned around and looked at Zi Yi as he said in disbelief, “What did you say?”
Zi Yi could not be bothered to repeat her words.
However, He Fei’s expression had changed several times. Finally he had an expression that looked as if he wanted to cry. He wanted to ask why they didn’t rescue Ouyang Ming, but he could not ask the question.
They did not have the obligation to save them in the first place.
Just then, Lu Jingye said, “You had better take a look at what is the truth after you go back. Don’t easily believe whatever other people say.”
He Fei was experiencing strong grief internally. He did not speak and went back to the RV he was originally in. For the remaining journey, he remained silent.
Zi Yi and the rest did not visit him or gave him any advice.
After traveling on the road for around three days or so, it was already the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month by the time the group arrived home.
He Fei alighted from the RV the moment they entered the city, while Zi Yi and the group drove back to the Lu Family’s residence.
Mrs. Lu and Lu Jianlin were already waiting for their return at that time. The moment they saw their vehicle driving in, Mrs. Lu wept with joy.
“You’re finally back.”
She pulled Zi Yi out of the car and checked her all over before asking, “Yiyi, did you feel any discomfort these days? Why do I feel that you have lost weight?”
“Mom, I didn’t lose weight nor do I feel uncomfortable.”
Zi Yi addressed Lu Jianlin. “Dad.”
Lu Jianlin nodded and said to the group, “Come inside first. It’s cold outside.”
He then looked at Anya.
Mrs. Lu had also seen her.
“This is?”
“Mom, her name is Anya. She’s…”
Zi Yi was thinking about how she should introduce Anya.
However, Anya spoke before her. “Auntie, I only came to the capital together with them, and I apologize for bothering you. I’ll leave right away.”
Anya felt that it wasn’t good to disturb a family reunion and so, she was about to turn and leave.
“Anya,” Mrs. Lu hastily called out to her. Looking at the thin clothes she wore, Mrs. Lu said, “Since you came back together, come and have a meal with us before leaving. Also, aren’t you cold wearing such thin clothes?”
“I’m not cold. I bought some thermal clothes along the way. Besides, I’m someone who is afraid of the heat rather than the cold.”
Mrs. Lu did not quite believe her and said, “The capital is very cold, especially at night. It’s better for you to wear thicker clothes.”
“Alright. Thank you, I’ll go buy them later.”
Everyone entered the living room. There was central heating in the house and it instantly warmed everyone up.
Zi Yi took off her coat and Lu Jingye took it from her before he placed it beside him.
In fact, Mrs. Lu had many things to say, but because there was an outsider with them, she held back and called everyone for dinner.
It was rather heartwarming during the meal. Lu Jianlin asked his two sons about the situation in the Bermuda Triangle.
Mrs. Lu first scooped up a bowl of soup for Zi Yi and said to Anya, “Anya, you should also have some soup to warm your stomach.”
“Alright, thank you Auntie.”
Zi Yi helped Mrs. Lu scoop a bowl of soup and said, “Mom, have some too. I feel that you have lost weight recently.”
There was a smile on Mrs. Lu’s face. “I was worried about all of you. Now that you’re back, I’ll be able to gain back the weight I lost.”
Zi Yi also smiled in response. “In that case, I’ll write some tonic prescription for you and we’ll drink them together.”
“Alright.”
Anya looked at how intimate they were and she felt a little envious.
After dinner, Lu Jianlin and the two brothers headed to the study room and Anya was about to take her leave.
Zi Yi asked, “Where are you staying?”
Anya thought about how she had not received the consultation fees from He Fei and said, “I’m going to ask for my money first. I’ll have money after that and then I’ll decide.”
Zi Yi had also anticipated this and did not say anything else.
After Anya left, Mrs. Lu sighed and said, “This young lady looks very poor. Is it alright for her to remain in the capital alone?”
“Mom, don’t worry. Anya is a divine doctor and also a fortune teller. As long as she wants to earn money, it’s only just a matter of minutes.”
Mrs. Lu was slightly surprised at her words. However, she was not someone who cared much about an outsider’s affairs.
She ended up pulling Zi Yi to the sofa to sit down and asked her about what happened during their trip to Country Em and the Bermuda Triangle. She also told Zi Yi about what to be mindful of while she was pregnant.
