Chapter 185: Not Awake

Translator: Lordbluefire 

After Yan Zijing coughed a few times, she drank water again to suppress the itch. At this moment, she began to lose confidence.

(There can’t possibly really be a transmissible disease, right? No, that must be a lie to scare people!)

She was coughing because Madam Yan had transmitted the cough to her.

However, she was stubborn and ignored it. “Sorry, I choked while drinking water.”

She continued to drink water, doing her best to suppress the itch that was growing more intense. After that, she spoke to her audience, “I’ll be going to the washroom first.”

She then ran to the washroom. After taking out Madam Yan’s flu medicine, he swallowed two pills. But feeling that it was not enough, she ate two more.

At such a crucial time, she couldn’t catch the flu.

After eating the four pills, she drank some hot water and felt a little dizzy and sleepy.

The sky was already dark, hence, she chose to directly say this. “Last night, my bro was cremated and we don’t have any place where we can air our grievances. I was so angry that I didn’t sleep well last night. I woke up earlier today and will continue with my live stream now. Everyone, you have to watch me closely. The Chu Corporation said that the symptoms of the virus would show after three days, so I’ll give them seven days. If I’m still fine after seven days, I hope that everyone behind the screen now can give me a little strength and help me seek justice, making the killer of my elder brother pay the price!”

Yan Zijing was a singer and had performed on stage many times. She knew very well how to control the emotions of the crowd.

Her eyes turned red and after saying these, there were indeed supporting comments appearing on the bullet screen as she expected.

——Okay, you should rest earlier. I kept seeing you turning and tossing around last night. I’m sure you didn’t have a good sleep, right?

——Quickly go and sleep! Don’t speak anymore!

…

Yan Zijing ate twice the recommended dosage with regard to the flu medicine. Hence, her head was very heavy as she lay on the bed.

She then closed her eyes and directly fell asleep.

It was good to sleep as she wouldn’t be able to cough then.

–

Yan Zijing fell asleep and Fang Panxia couldn’t see any symptoms no matter how she looked. She frowned and glanced at Shen Ruojing. “Miss Shen, you can’t say anything you like randomly. She shows no symptoms at all!”

Shen Ruojing lifted her eyebrows and looked at her. Just so coincidentally, Chu Tianye ran down. When he heard this, he sneered. “You are blind, so you naturally cannot see.”

“…”

Fang Panxia choked.

She didn’t dare to speak recklessly in the Chu Manor, so she could only glare at Shen Ruojing angrily as she turned to leave.

Chu Tianye stared at her back before going to Shen Ruojing. “Mommy, I think she wants to be my stepmom!”

Shen Ruojing teased him. “If she gives you 10 million, do you want her as your stepmom?”

Chu Tianye immediately spoke in righteous anger, “Mommy, what sort of person do you take me for?”

Matriarch Chu who just went downstairs felt somewhat moved after hearing this. Although this fellow loved money, he understood that kinship couldn’t be purchased!

As this thought was in her head, she suddenly heard Chu Tianye saying, “Wanting to buy over me for just 10 million? That’s just too cheap!”

Matriarch Chu. “???”

She involuntarily frowned and asked, “What about 100 million???”

Chu Tianye frowned and had a look of difficulty on his face. “Grandmother, I’ve never seen so much money before. If she really gave me 100 million, let alone being a stepmom, I would even be willing to call her ‘stepgranny’!”

Matriarch Chu. “!!”

Stepgranny?!

Did he ask Matriarch Chu for her permission?

Matriarch Chu had a look on her face that looked as though she hated iron for not becoming steel. “You can be bought for just 100 million? You are too useless! Come over, grandma will show you what it means to be rich and imposing!”

Shen Ruojing who was at the side was smiling.

When Chu Tianye answered that question earlier, he was actually glancing at Matriarch Chu. Hence, he answered so intentionally. This fellow must be up to his tricks again!

Chu Tianye immediately ran to Matriarch Chu’s side, and Matriarch Chu opened her bank app to show him her balance.

Chu Tianye excitedly fawned. “Grandma, there’s so much money! So, are you going to transfer 100 million to me? You are really my blood-related grandma!”

Matriarch Chu immediately kept her phone. “Nope, I’m only showing you.”

Chu Tianye. “???”

He almost forgot that this grandmother of his was also a money-grubber. She was a huge money-grubber that expected to receive money from her guests during her birthdays!

As expected, the older a ginger was, the spicier it would be!

In a residential building in Sea City.

Reporter Xiao Lu had been paying attention to Yan Zijing’s stream. At this moment, she sent a message to comfort Yan Zijing. “Don’t worry, justice might arrive late, but it will definitely arrive!”

She was very fond of this saying.

After sending the message, she received a WeChat text from the editor-in-chief. [There’s a gathering for the pharmaceutical industry tomorrow morning. I’ll help you forge an identity as a waitress. Go in and dig for some information.]

Xiao Lu immediately replied. [Editor-in-chief, I’m observing Yan Zijing’s matter closely! I won’t go!]

The editor-in-chief: [The medicine of the Chu Corporation cannot be sold and the various major pharmacies won’t cooperate with them. So, why don’t you take a guess whether or not someone from the Chu Corporation would attend the gathering?]

Xiao Lu immediately understood, hence, she replied. [Roger, I’ll be there punctually!]

If the Chu Corporation wanted to cooperate with the major pharmacies, they would surely reveal some details about the transmission of disease. Hence, she definitely had to show the ‘true face’ of the evil wealthy people to everyone!

Xiao Lu clenched her fists and vowed that she was going all out!

On the second day.

Xiao Lu got up early in the morning. She first sent a supportive message to Yan Zijing on Weibo before posting some cynical comments on her account. After that, she rode a bicycle and went to the hotel address that the editor-in-chief gave her.

In the washroom, she changed into her waitress uniform and hid a voice recorder in her pocket before she entered.

At this moment, it was already 10 a.m.

There were gradually people arriving in this private room.

Xiao Lu held a tray of glasses in her hands and went to the entrance. Those who entered would casually take a glass of champagne from her tray.

At this moment, she heard the faint sounds of an argument from outside the door.

“I’m Fang Panxia from the pharmaceutical factory of the Chu Corporation as well as a neurosurgeon. My teacher is Charles. Are you telling me I can’t attend such a gathering?”

“I’m sorry madam. I’m not someone in the medical industry. I only care about whether you have an invitation or not.”

The doorman stood at the door and blocked Fang Panxia. Fang Panxia then grew angry from embarrassment. “Do you guys even know the major characters in the medical industry? Even if you have never heard my name before, you should have heard of Charles’s name, right?”

The doorman only repeated his words. “Sorry, please take out your invitation or you won’t be permitted to enter.”

Fang Panxia. “…”

Xiao Lu immediately felt extremely refreshed when she saw this.

She took the chance to secretly take out her phone and shared the news since the number of visitors wasn’t that many yet. [Friends, I have the latest news. A representative from the Chu Corporation is being barred from entering! Hahaha! The pharmaceutical companies are indeed very strict! This is just too satisfying!]

After sending the text, she happily opened Yan Zijing’s stream to check on her.

However, she discovered that Yan Zijing was still not awake yet despite falling asleep last night at 8 p.m.
