Chapter 267: Chapter 268: Scars

’Duh, of course I’m interested!’

Li Yang almost cursed out loud.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he calmed himself down first. "Sister Zhi," he asked, "what kind of partnership did you have in mind?"

"Let’s not get into the partnership just yet..." Sister Zhi shook her head and said, "Although Xiaoyi said you’re quite capable, I haven’t seen it for myself. You need to demonstrate your abilities to earn the right to talk business with us."

Li Yang nodded, not minding at all.

"Take a look and tell me, what’s wrong with me?" Sister Zhi asked, reclining on the sofa in a very alluring pose.

Sister Zhi had strong, elegant features and a large frame, complete with a long torso and long legs.

Plus, her figure was incredible. Lying there like that, any man would have a reaction.

Li Yang was, of course, no exception.

So, what was her problem?

Li Yang took one look, and his expression faltered. He gazed at Sister Zhi with a complex look in his eyes.

"Overall, there are no major issues with your health, Sister Zhi..." Li Yang said after a moment of thought. "I don’t know what kind of models Miss Qiu and the others are, but you... you’re the type who belongs on a runway."

Sister Zhi was startled, her face a mixture of surprise and pride. "That’s right. I used to be a runway model. I did a lot of shows, but..."

"You have a scar on your waist," Li Yang said seriously. "If I’m not mistaken, someone slashed you with a knife. It’s at least thirteen centimeters long. A model can’t have a scar like that, so you stopped working, right?"

Sister Zhi stared at Li Yang in astonishment. "Did you run a background check on me?"

Li Yang shook his head. "No. I... noticed it."

"You..." Sister Zhi suddenly realized something wasn’t right. "I keep it completely covered. How could you see the scar underneath my clothes?"

Li Yang gave a dry laugh before speaking. "Sister Zhi, if I told you I could get rid of that scar, would that qualify me to work with you?"

"You can remove scars?" Sister Zhi stared at Li Yang, feeling like he must be joking.

"Naturally!" Li Yang nodded, but then added with a touch of regret, "It’s a shame you met me so late, Sister Zhi. If you’d met me a few years ago, you absolutely could have had several more glorious years on the stage."

A shadow passed over Sister Zhi’s face.

Her career was taking off when it happened, and she had no choice but to step down.

Of course, she was incredibly resentful, but what could she do? In the end, she had to step aside and give the opportunity to someone else.

Life can be that cruel sometimes.

"Let’s not get ahead of ourselves..." Sister Zhi quickly composed herself. She had sought out so many doctors, and none could remove the scar. This guy’s claims were so outrageous, he sounded like a common charlatan. "Solve this problem first. Until then, anything you say is just empty words."

"Fine," Li Yang nodded. "Then let me treat it for you."

Saying that, Li Yang stepped outside to make a phone call to Zhang Rong.

"Aunt Rong, I need a little bit of the high-purity Exuviation Liquid. Can you get it ready for me? I’ll come by to pick it up."

"You rascal, what are you using it for this time?" Zhang Rong asked suspiciously. "Chasing another pretty girl?"

"What are you thinking..." Li Yang grumbled internally, ’Of all the people I know, you’re the biggest vixen of them all.’ "I’m treating someone."

"Fine. Hurry over and get it."

Before long, Li Yang had gone to Zhang Rong’s shop to pick up a bottle of the medicine and returned to Sister Zhi’s villa.

Once inside, Sister Zhi calmly pulled off her top. Just as he’d said, a long scar stretched from her ribs down to her navel. It looked like a centipede, a frightening sight.

Qiu Yi couldn’t help but gasp.

"Scares you, doesn’t it?" Sister Zhi said calmly. "This is why I never join you girls in the bath or changing rooms. I was afraid I’d frighten you."

Li Yang was in no mood to appreciate Sister Zhi’s figure. He sighed and said, "Looking at this mark... whoever did this, I’m afraid it was deliberate. And they used a lot of force."

Sister Zhi seemed to be struck by his words, her whole body trembling for a moment. But she quickly lowered her head, as if unwilling to remember the incident.

Li Yang took the hint and said no more, beginning to apply the Exuviation Liquid.

"This medicine probably won’t take effect until tomorrow morning," Li Yang said after he was done. "So, here’s the plan: I’ll come back first thing tomorrow morning. Then we’ll see if it worked and whether we can move forward with our partnership."

"Alright," Sister Zhi nodded. "Then it’s settled."

Li Yang nodded and quickly let himself out.

Qiu Yi walked Li Yang to the door. "Thank you so much."

Li Yang shook his head, then asked out of curiosity, "What kind of modeling do you all do?"

"A bit of everything!" Qiu Yi smiled. "We’re mainly auto show models."

Li Yang made a sound of understanding. "Ah, no wonder you all have such great figures and are so beautiful. Well, I’m heading out. Let’s touch base tomorrow."

Qiu Yi nodded.

Soon, Li Yang arrived back at Zhang Rong’s shop.

"Well, look who decided to come back, you little brat..." Zhang Rong said, annoyed, when she saw Li Yang walk in.

Li Yang chuckled. "With you here, Aunt Rong, how could I possibly not come back?"
