Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 215

Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Too Humiliating.

Qi Yue did not want to see Zhao Chong, nor did she wish to hear anything about Zhao Xiyan, so after leaving the Ministry of Commerce, she went to the pharmaceutical factory.

Tomorrow, they would begin offering free medical consultations, so all the medicines had to be fully stocked.

If there were specific ailments for which there was no ready-made medicine, she would likely need to write prescriptions. Qi Yue checked the medicine warehouse overnight, instructing Shen Zikuang to ensure there was a sufficient supply of medicine during the free consultation period.

“Rest assured, Miss. Everything is well prepared,” Shen Zikuang said.

“Good.”

Shen Zikuang no longer needed a wheelchair. His tall figure was now more vigorous and full of life; one would never guess he had been severely injured just over a month ago.

Qi Yue had entrusted the full management of Qi Pharmaceutical to him and had given him a tenth of the sales revenue as compensation, so he was highly motivated.

“By the way, have you found out who attacked you?” Qi Yue asked.

“Almost,” Shen Zikuang replied through gritted teeth, “The information provided by Shen Zifang has been confirmed. It was mainly people from the Ma Family, but Shen Ziao was also involved.”

Qi Yue fell silent.

“You can take your revenge, but remember not to affect the business.”

“I understand. Please do not worry, Miss.”

After everything was arranged, it was very late. Just as she stepped out of the factory gates, Qu Wei was already waiting at the entrance.

Dressed in white, he stood in the darkness, rattling his fan. He looked almost like a ghost.

Upon seeing Qi Yue, he closed his fan and cheerfully greeted her.

“Yueyue, why are you working so late? If you wanted big brother to pick you up, you should've just said so!”

“Get lost, no one asked for your pick-up,” she retorted.

“Alright, alright, it's an offer you couldn't refuse. Are we clear now?” he said.

“That's right,” Qi Yue conceded, and after a moment's hesitation, she added, “No one else was waiting for me, right?”

“There was, Zhao Chong!” Qu Wei replied with a fan in hand, smiling mischievously.

Qi Yue frowned and pulled her foot back from stepping into the carriage.

“…But he couldn't wait for you and has returned to the Capital City. Seems like he had some urgent matters to discuss with Zhao Xiyan!”

“Hmph. You should have said that earlier.” Qi Yue glared at Qu Wei and jumped into the carriage.

“How would I know you didn't want to see Zhao Chong?”

Grinning mischievously, Qu Wei followed her into the carriage.

The two settled down, and the carriage smoothly made its way to Linjiang Pavilion.

Qi Yue gave a wry smile.

She didn't feel like talking to this man.

Once she started, he would certainly ask what had happened that day in the Capital City?

Why had she started hating Zhao Xiyan?

She couldn't exactly tell him that she saw the moonlight of Zhao Xiyan's heart, could she?

This guy had spent enough time with her and was well aware of her feelings for Zhao Xiyan.

Letting Qu Wei know that she liked Zhao Xiyan, while Zhao Xiyan had another woman in his heart was too humiliating.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Qu Wei began to inquire.

“Yueyue, what exactly is going on between you and Zhao Xiyan? You two didn't really have a falling out, did you?”

Qi Yue gave him a sidelong glance.

“Are you a curious baby?” she asked.

Qu Wei was taken aback, then quickly nodded his head.

“Then please, Yueyue, indulge my curiosity. What happened after I left that day? You were supposed to stay in the Capital City for a few more days before leaving, yet you left the city overnight. Why?”

“I don't want to talk about it,” Qi Yue stated bluntly, turning her head to look out at the street, ignoring Qu Wei.

But soon she recalled how he had accompanied her all the way, like a real elder brother and family member. He was asking these questions out of concern.

So she offered an explanation.

“I don't want to talk about these things now. Let's talk about it later.”

“Alright.”

Upon reaching Linjiang Pavilion, Qi Yue entered the courtyard and went back to her room. But suddenly, Qu Wei threw a box to her.

“Yueyue, this is from Zhao Chong. He said it's a letter from Zhao Xiyan for you. I promised him I'd give it to you. I'm keeping my word,” he said and quickly vanished into his own room, leaving Qi Yue holding the box in a daze.

A box of letters?

Qi Yue's pupils shrank slightly.

What did he write?

“She wouldn't be planning to share with me the day and night she's spent apart, would she?”

What a joke!

Anyway, she could never accept a man with a 'moon' in his heart.

She sneered, reached out, and was about to throw the box away.

Suddenly, she remembered this wasn't modern times and there were no trash cans. Throwing it out and having someone else find it would be even worse, so she casually put the box into her space.

The night passed without words, and early in the morning, Qi Yue set off for the Qi Family Pharmacy.

Shen Zikuang had already arrived early, preparing everything for the opening ceremony.

Soon after, He Zijing also arrived and presided over the entire opening ceremony, giving Qi Yue ample face.

Shen Zifang was there as well, standing together with Shen Zikuang, greeting the guests quite naturally without any sign of the life-and-death scuffle they'd had before.

The commoners had their eyes wide at this scene.

They didn't know whether to gossip about the power struggle between these two brothers or to discuss how Shen Zikuang's leg had healed so quickly?

“He truly is a Divine Doctor, to reconcile the two brothers like this?”

Hearing this, Qi Yue silently twitched the corner of her mouth.

She didn't have such ability; what reconciled these brothers were interests, pure and simple interests.

Especially Shen Zifang, that young man truly knew when to bend and when to stand tall. One wonders whether his decision to sell the finished medicine in the Shen Family Pharmacy was more beneficial or harmful?

In the bustling opening ceremony, people from all directions surged in.

There were common folks who came for consultations, many herbal merchants, and quite a few doctors, eager to see what the highly-skilled Divine Doctor Qi Yue was really like.

Murong Mingyue also came.

Although he arrived in a low-key manner, Qi Yue noticed him immediately.

Since their last encounter, they hadn't seen each other.

For one thing, Bai Dahui's hunt for the White Rhino seemed to be going less smoothly than expected, with no sign of his return, so the Governor hadn't needed her to make any medicine.

For another, Murong Mingyue's involvement in the counterfeit medicine incident had emptied any good impressions Qi Yue initially had of him.

In her eyes, a Governor who meddled in the medicine business in secret, trying to control Dongjiang Pharmaceutical, was definitely not a good Governor, no matter how gentle and amiable he appeared.

Although this time, He Zhijing only cut off the Ma Family and some other dishonest merchants from their fallback options and didn't implicate Murong Mingyue.

But considering Murong Mingyue's cunning, he must already know that his doings had been exposed.

What attitude was he bringing by coming here today?

As their eyes met, Murong Mingyue had already approached with a beaming smile.

“Divine Doctor Qi, congratulations!”

This attitude was within expectations.

Qi Yue also retained a hint of a smile as she bowed in greeting.

“For the Governor to take time from his busy schedule to come here, I am deeply grateful!”

Murong Mingyue smiled kindly, like an elder concerned for a junior.

“My life was saved by the Divine Doctor; speaking of 'thanks' would be taking it too lightly.”

His words sounded a bit too much like an attempt to close the distance between them.

Before Qi Yue could react, Murong Mingyue had already taken the platform in front of the pharmacy and begun an impassioned speech.

“I can attest that the medical skills of Divine Doctor Qi are extraordinary. My life was saved by her, and I believe that Qi Pharmaceutical will benefit Dongjiang and allow the common people to use the Divine Doctor's medicine formulas!”

If He Zhijing was the direct superior to Dongjiang's merchants, then Murong Mingyue was the internet celebrity in the hearts of the ordinary folk.

After all, Murong Mingyue's public image has always been friendly and approachable, not disdainful of the lower class, even having a swine-raising sworn brother…

Each label was popular among the common people, any of which could win their favor.

His actions immediately drew cheers from the crowd.

“Governor, we'll listen to you!”

Wasn't this the opening of her pharmacy? How did it turn into a fan-booster for Murong Mingyue?

Qi Yue suddenly felt like her opening was being hijacked for someone else's benefit.

One had to admit that Murong Mingyue was really great at putting on an act!

If it weren't for him secretly backing the Ma Family and causing trouble, her medicine would have spread through Dongjiang long ago!

And now he had the nerve to act benevolent here!

As she was grumbling inwardly, she suddenly felt several gazes upon her.

Inquisitive, curious, silent speculation…, and seemingly mingled with an indefinable meaning…
