Chapter 616-617

Chapter 616: Remember To Get More Money 　 “What is it?” Yun Xi smiled aloofly. From Yun Chuhan’s tone, it was obvious she was baiting her. Knowing what she did, Yun Xi could respond calmly and with ease. “Do you know who lives at the top of Tianyu Mountain?” Yun Chuhan couldn’t believe that Yun Xi was hooking up with the young marshal. Just recently, Yun Chuhan had followed Yun Xi up the mountain, only to see her remaining at the sentry post and just talking and laughing with the guards stationed there. What sort of future could she have with a security guard who was posted at the gate of a mountain? 　 　 Yun Chuhan had never expected Yun Xi to be so short-sighted! But what was the alternative? There was no way that Yun Xi could be worthy of a man of honor like the young marshal. “Everyone in Jingdu knows who lives in Tianyu Mountain. But not everyone in Jindu can actually go up to the mountain.” “So my eldest sister, you should know your place. Don’t bring trouble to the family. The young marshal doesn’t even fancy the president’s daughter, so what makes you think he will fancy you? Don’t bother wasting your time. It’s useless to just stay at the gate of the mountain, waiting for the marshal. Even if he were to go down the mountain, he’ll go through a different lane. So don’t even think about trying to set up any fateful encounters. Your chances of meeting him are next to impossible.” Yun Xi immediately understood what Yun Chuhan meant, and her eyes darkened. “It sounds like you’ve been following me around. It must have been really hard for you to get up so early and trail after me on such cold days! You seem pretty experienced in spying on people... You’ve probably laid in ambush for the handsome young marshal, right?” Upon having her deepest, most shameful secret exposed, Yun Chuhan’s eyes suddenly became dark, and she snorted coldly, “You’re no better than me!” Yun Xi didn’t really want to reveal that she had just ended a video call with Mu Feichi. With Yun Chuhan’s gloating mannerism, did she really think that she was as delusional as her? “You don’t have to test me, Yun Chuhan. I just haven’t had this leisure time to deal with you recently.” “Of course, my eldest sister. You’ve been busy disciplining Liang Xinyi and my mother recently. It must be taking up so much of your time.” 　 　 “Exactly! I don’t have time to deal with you right now! You’d better give me peace of mind. The next time you want to scheme against me, make sure you’re getting paid well to do it. When I strike back, whatever money you get will be barely enough to clean up the mess.” “What are you talking about? When did I scheme against you!” She knew about her sister’s recent tricks. Yun Ziling had been mercilessly disciplined and since then, became much more behaved. Her mother was also kicked out of the villa complex by her. When they fought against each other, she didn’t want to confront her head-on. “You know what you’ve done.” Not wanting to relive the past, Yun Xi spun around and left Yun Chuhan in place with a flustered face and her imagination running wild. ———— The next day, Yun Xi arrived at school early in the morning. She heard Yang Lu talking about how the school was handling Zhou Chenzhe’s case. They had disqualified him for the final exam. He was not allowed to sit for the final exam and would not be eligible for ranking, let alone get a reward for ranking in the top three. A hundred yuan was much to Yun Xi but the same couldn’t be said for Zhou Chengze, who was on a scholarship. And with the New Year coming up, he needed the money badly. Maybe the reason he agreed to work with Liang Xinyi to steal the exam papers was that he needed the money. It was unfortunate that the punishment he suffered far outweighed the potential benefits. With only two days to go to the exam, Zhou Chengzhe had disappeared. Many assumed it was probably because he was embarrassed. Eventually, the scandal surrounding the theft of the exam paper began to die down, as everyone was busy with the coming final exams. Yun Xi didn’t dare to neglect her studies, and all her attention was spent on preparing for the exam. When the three-day test finally ended, Zhao Yumo invited Yun Xi out to celebrate. Yun Xi had no intention of heading out to celebrate. She couldn’t help but think about how Su Hang’s virus vaccine research was still uncompleted. So she postponed the celebrations with Zhao Yumo and instead, called up Su Hang and asked him to come and pick her up. **** 　 Chapter 617: My Woman Was Destined To Be Extraordinary 　 When Young Marshal Mu left, he had issued a binding order. As such, Su Hang didn’t dare to allow Yun Xi into his laboratory. Instead, he drove over in a small sports car to meet her. “Yun Xi!” Su Hang lowered the window and called out to her. Yun Xi pulled open the car door and got into the passenger seat. “Drive!. Let’s go to your laboratory.” “Huh? Aren’t we going to grab something to eat first? I finally have some time to unwind, so the least I could do is to treat you to a good meal, right?” 　 　 Yun Xi buckled her seat belt and glanced over at Su Hang. “I’m not used to you acting so generously.” Su Hang looked confused. “But I’ve always been generous!” “Then please let me be your assistant! I’ve just finished my exam today, and since your virus vaccine still isn’t developed, you should let me help you.” When it came to this matter, Su Hang continued to refuse and resist. “No... When the young marshal left, he forbade you from entering my laboratory. So don’t even think about it!” If anything were to happen to Yun Xi, or if she accidentally contracted the virus, something happened to her, or she accidentally contracted the virus, the young marshal will kill him when he comes back! “But you’ve been carrying out your research for so long and yet, you still haven’t developed a vaccine. What happens if the young marshal, or anyone important, is infected with the virus? Time is of the essence here. You’re a military doctor. Can’t you see how important this is?” “Miss, this is different, alright. My assistants are working overtime to develop the vaccine. It won’t make a difference whether you’re there to help or not. You’re just making things more difficult.” In truth, Su Hang wanted to ask her for help, but he didn’t have the guts to do so. The last time he had developed the formula, Yun Xi had introduced him to new ingredients that allowed him to successfully synthesize a new type of medicine. Since that day, he has learned to never underestimate her ability in the medical field. The problem was that he would never dare to challenge the authority of the tyrant! 　 　 Yun Xi continued to persuade him. “I promise I won’t mess up. I’ll take precautionary measures like protective clothing and everything else. What you guys are doing isn’t efficient. And anyway, the young marshal is out of town. He won’t know if you don’t tell him.” Su Hang hesitated for a moment. But when he saw her persistence and enthusiasm, he finally nodded and accepted the risk. “Fine! But if the vaccine is still not finished when the young marshal returns, then you better go away immediately. If not, he will...” “I know, I know,” Yun Xi said with a wave of her hand. Of course she knew about the risks and why he was worrying so much. “Let’s go grab lunch, then we can start work.” ———— Yun Xi knew that she wouldn’t have much time, so she found the excuse of staying with the old madam of the Shen family for a few days. She packed up a few sets of clothes and went straight to Su Hang’s laboratory. Three days later, when the final exam results came out, Yun Xi listened to Zhao Yumo reporting her ranking. Unsurprisingly, her name appeared in the first place. The homeroom teacher called her up personally and asked her to go to the school to receive her reward. At the same time, she would receive a form for the winter camp. Only then did Yun Xi remember that next week would be the winter camp national training for the biological competition. By then, she and Zhou Chengzhe would become the last two sworn enemies to participate in the finals. If Zhou Chengzhe were to scheme against her during the winter camp, then she would have no choice but the retaliate even harder. This time, she would crush him at his roots and ruin his chance to study abroad! 　 　 Su Hang took a look at the form for the biology competition that was sitting on the experiment table. He squinted slightly, thought about it, then pointed to the surveillance camera above Yun Xi. If her research on the vaccine proved to be successful, her experimental results would surely lead her to winning the competition at the winter camp. “Yun Xi, do you want to take part in this biology competition? Which field are you most confident in? Genetics? Heredity? Maybe neurology or virology?” Yun Xi froze, and her eyes finally fell on the form on the experiment table. “Actually, I’m not very sure. All four areas require life-long research to achieve any sort of results. I just want to be a doctor. But if I win the award, I can pick from the entire country’s universities. And the tuition can be free. How great would that be?” Su Hang looked at her, chuckled lightly, and remembered the words Young Marshal Mu had said, “My woman is destined to be extraordinary.” This girl was destined to not be an ordinary person.
