Chapter 38: Miracle Medicine



Chapter 38

News of what happened at the photography studio spread quickly.

When Li Zhen returned to the office, Zhang Xiyi anxiously looked her up and down, “My little Zhenzhen, I was just about to come to the twelfth floor to find you. Are you okay? You’re not hurt, are you?”

Li Zhen smiled and answered, “I’m fine, don’t worry. I’ve always been lucky.”

It was just that her right wrist had taken some force when she had thrown herself into Yu Sheng's arms, but now she didn’t feel anything.

“Don’t act tough.” Meng Yuanjie hurriedly took out a tube of ointment, “If you’re hurt, use this. This medicine cures all wounds.”

Yu Sheng had given him this medicine yesterday, so he looked into it.

This medicine was made by a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Jincheng. Because the medicinal materials were hard to buy and the decocting process was very particular, it was so scarce that it wasn’t available for purchase on the market. In other words, money couldn’t buy it.

But it wasn’t surprising that Yu Sheng could get it.

After all, in the eyes of everyone at Honghai, Yu Sheng was omnipotent.

“What kind of ointment is this? Where did it come from?” Li Zhen took it and smelled it. The smell was pungent.

It seemed like good medicine.

At least it was smelly enough.

Yu Sheng had told him not to mention that it was from him, so Meng Yuanjie could only say vaguely, “It’s a magical medicine, just use it.”

Qiao Yi was worried beside them, only caring about Li Zhen’s injury, “Are you really not hurt? What they spread sounded so scary, saying you and President Yu were both hit by the lights.”

“You can listen to rumors?” Li Zhen was speechless.

The last time Lu Yanming was talked about for five seconds was already preposterous. From then on, she would never believe rumors again.

Li Zhen didn’t chat with them for long.

After work, she went straight to the hospital to have the doctor take off her bandage. Having her right hand wrapped up and in a sling was too inconvenient, so she might as well take it off.

Her right hand only had some unnoticeable swelling left, and the small wounds on the skin had already scabbed over, so there was no major problem.

She couldn’t delay her pregnancy plans any longer!

It was going to be the weekend in a couple days, so freeing up her right hand, she needed to have a pleasant collaboration with her partner-in-name-only husband these next two days.

With the bandage off, Li Zhen walked out of the hospital feeling light and free.

She had just gotten to the entrance when a sports car stopped in front of Li Zhen.

“Li Zhen!”

The car window rolled down, and Dong Wanwan’s angry face appeared, “It really is you! You conspired with that man to deceive me. I was just about to look for you!”

Yesterday, Dong Wanwan had found the person who sold her the diamond and brought the diamond and the previous appraisal certificate to him. That person firmly denied selling her a fake and took her to Jincheng’s largest third-party appraisal institution. Today, she had just gotten the certificate back, and the appraisal result was that the diamond was real!

She had actually been fooled by Li Zhen and that man!

Today, she had originally gone to the hospital for a pre-pregnancy checkup, and had just finished when she happened to run into Li Zhen.

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment.

It shouldn’t be like this. Since Lu Yanming said it was fake, then it must be fake.

She immediately spoke righteously, full of confidence, “No evidence, I don’t believe it.”

“The new appraisal certificate I got yesterday is still in my bag.”

“What if you’re trying to deceive me with a fake certificate again?”

“Looks like you won’t give up until you see the coffin!” Dong Wanwan gave a cold snort, looking at her arrogantly from the car, “Fine, then you go find the person who appraised it for me yesterday and let him tell you to your face.”

“Sorry, I don’t have time.” Li Zhen would have to be crazy to go with her.

“Then compensate me the 320,000 right now!”

“What were you saying just now?”

“Go find the person who appraised it for me yesterday...”

“Let’s go.”

Li Zhen followed Dong Wanwan to an auction house.

There happened to be an auction taking place today, so the auction hall was filled with crowds coming and going, and signs were posted publicly displaying today’s auction items.

Dong Wanwan passed through the auction hall and brought Li Zhen to the backstage, finding a middle-aged man.

Dong Wanwan spoke respectfully, “Master Gu, this is the person I told you about yesterday who claimed the pink diamond I had was fake. She still doesn’t believe me, so I could only bring her to see you in person.”

Master Gu was a senior figure in Jincheng’s jewelry and antiques circles.

He not only served at third-party appraisal institutions but was also a famous auctioneer.

Li Zhen rarely bought jewelry, but the company had invited him once for an offline promotional event, so she also knew a little about him.

She instantly felt something was off. Could the diamond be real?

Li Zhen still didn’t quite believe Lu Yanming would make a mistake.

Master Gu glanced lightly at Li Zhen, “Little miss, you look innocent, how could you do such shady things? It was clearly a high quality pink diamond, so how did it become fake when it got to you?”

Dong Wanwan arrogantly looked at Li Zhen with her chin raised.

Li Zhen kept her expression calm, smiling as she said, “Please hold on a moment, you two. Give me one minute.”

After saying that, she left without waiting for their reaction, nimbly making her way to the side.

Li Zhen swiftly called Lu Yanming.

The other side picked up almost instantly, but his voice was lazy, “Who is this?”

“It's me, President Lu...” Li Zhen lowered her voice, “My annoying former roommate came back and said the diamond is real, and gave a new appraisal certificate.

Her 320,000 yuan!

The ups and downs of this matter were more exciting than a rollercoaster ride.

Lu Yanming’s voice was slightly low, “You called me just for this?”

He even sounded a little aggrieved?

Wasn’t this matter important?

It was very important, okay!

Li Zhen: “President Lu, this is an emergency! Is that diamond real or fake?”

Lu Yanming spoke matter-of-factly, “I don’t know.”

The appraisal methods he talked about were real, so... Lu Yanming also knew those pink diamonds were real.

But Li Zhen didn’t want it to be real, so it could only be fake.

Li Zhen was confused, “How could you, Vice President of Honghai, not know?”

Li Zhen’s mind was in disorder.

“No, that’s not the point. The point is, you don't know, so how could you have gone on so confidently saying the jewelry was fake?”

Lu Yanming: “I made it up.”

Li Zhen was struck speechless, “President Lu, is this something you can just make up? I can’t get out of this predicament now!”

“You said it was someone you disliked, of course you couldn't pay her money.” Lu Yanming indifferently laughed lightly.

Li Zhen’s scalp was about to explode.

So in other words, she was destined to lose this 320,000 yuan?

And she would also be mocked by Dong Wanwan?

Just as Li Zhen’s mind was racing through countless thoughts, Lu Yanming casually asked, "Which appraisal institution did the certificate yesterday?"

"Why are you asking this?" Li Zhen thought hard for a moment and told him the name of the institution Master Gu was at.

Lu Yanming: "Okay, just tell them that appraisal certificate is fake. You don't need to worry about the rest."

Lu Yanming hung up the phone.

What did he mean?

For her to brazenly claim an appraisal certificate issued by a master was fake?

Li Zhen felt that her four years studying performing arts had been wasted. Lu Yanming’s performance in front of Dong Wanwan yesterday was the level of a movie emperor. She and Dong Wanwan had both believed him.

Now it was time for her to carry that acting skill through to the end, huh!

Very well, it was time for her performance.

After finishing the call, Li Zhen went back and thought to herself she must not falter. But this wasn't a situation where she could freely improvise under the spotlight either. Her boldness clearly fell short by two levels compared to Lu Yanming’s thick skin. Her momentum was obviously weaker as she said, “About this certificate, I think the result still needs to be discussed.”

Dong Wanwan stood with her hands on her hips looking arrogantly at her, “Li Zhen, don’t tell me you still want to say this appraisal certificate I have is fake right in front of Master Gu?”

Li Zhen: ......Guess right, that's what I mean.

Before Li Zhen could say anything more, Master Gu's phone suddenly rang.

Master Gu answered the call, and his expression drastically changed after a few seconds. He looked up at Dong Wanwan and responded with “Okay, I see, I understand” to the other end, then hung up.

Dong Wanwan felt chills down her back from Master Gu staring at her. “What’s wrong, Master Gu?”

Master Gu looked at her strangely, “There was a mistake with yesterday’s certificate.”

“What mistake, the certificate code was wrong?” Dong Wanwan asked.

“No, the result was wrong. Those twelve diamonds of yours are all fake.”

Dong Wanwan's eyes widened, looking just like a cat who got stepped on its tail. “Impossible, how could they be fake?”

“They really are fake. I can't waste more time with you two, the auction is about to start.” After saying that, Master Gu hurriedly left.

Li Zhen: ......

Dong Wanwan: ......

It took Dong Wanwan a good while to come back to her senses. She hurriedly chased after him, “Master Gu, how could the appraisal certificate be wrong? Master Gu...”

Li Zhen stood in place alone, full of questions.
