Chapter 38 - Passing Notes In Class
Fu Tingyan lifted his gaze and thought to himself, "You're the one who's looking for trouble, so can you not drag me into this? If Tingyu finds out that I'm involved in bullying Qin Shu, I'm the one who will face the repercussions back at home."
"Do you think she had to rely on inappropriate connections for her to come back to school?" Jiang Yu speculated.
Fu Tingyan looked dow and mentally sneered. "If Qin Shu really did rely on inappropriate connections to come back to school, she would not still be here. Tingyu would have caught her and forced her to go home," he thought to himself.
…
Qin Shu finished washing her hands and exited the bathroom when she bumped into Qin Ya and left her stunned at their encounter.
She could not believe that Fu Tingyu had allowed Qin Shu to come back to school. Did that mean he no longer cared about her?
A look of surprise flashed past Qin Ya's eyes. She curled her lips into a smile, "Qin Shu, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me about it?"
Qin Ya's hypocritical smile did not go unnoticed. Qin Shu's gaze landed on the left side of Qin Ya's face. Most of it was concealed by her hair and the details would have gone unnoticed if one was not meticulous enough.
However, Qin Shu could tell that the left side of Qin Ya's face was heavily plastered with concealer and liquid foundation. "It was a last-minute decision. Qin Ya, you have great skin. I initially wanted to recommend an anti-scarring cream to you, but it looks like that won't be necessary."
Qin Ya's eyes lit up. She feigned indifference and asked, "What kind of anti-scarring cream? Is it highly effective?"
"It's very effective. The scar on the side of my eye has faded a lot," Qin Shu replied as she parted her fringe for Qin Ya to observe the fake scar on her face.
Qin Ya looked at the corner of Qin Shu's eyes and discovered that the scar had grown faint. This proved the effectiveness of the anti-scarring cream. "Qin Shu, what is the brand of that anti-scarring cream?"
"I'm not sure what the brand is called. I met a Chinese physician a while ago when I was out with Tingyu and he prescribed me some cream," Qin Shu replied.
Qin Ya grabbed Qin Shu's hand and asked pleadingly, "Qin Shu, do you have the contact details of that Chinese physician? Or do you have any of that anti-scarring cream left?"
Qin Shu retracted her hand calmly and felt disgusted.
"I didn't retain his contact information, all I have left is an unopened tub of the anti-scarring cream. But the scar on my face hasn't completely vanished, so I'm not sure if there's enough to go around," Qin Shu replied with a difficult expression.
Qin Ya inevitably grew anxious when she heard those words. Her complexion had just improved when she got scratched recently. She had consulted many doctors and tried many medications and creams, but none of them worked. "Qin Shu, please just give me one tub. I'll give you anything you want in return."
"Since you want it so badly, and as your older sister, it's not right for me to refuse. In that case, I'll give you that tub of anti-scarring cream in exchange for Linhai Villa," Qin Shu said.
Linhai Villa originally belonged to Qin Shu's mother, but after her death, it was taken over by Qin Ya and her mother.
Qin Shu would reclaim everything that had been taken away from her.
Qin Ya felt immensely reluctant to comply. However, she maintained the smile on her face, "We're a family. The villa will eventually go back to you sooner or later…"
"Class is starting, I have to go," Qin Shu said before she left and paid no further attention to Qin Ya.
Qin Ya's eyes grew wide with anger. What kind of good luck did Qin Shu possess for her to encounter such a capable doctor?
"Why haven't I met one before?" she thought.
…
During her math class, Qin Shu took out a post-it note and scribbled a message that read, 'How did Tingyu get hurt and who did it?'
She properly folded it and waited until the teacher was started to copy some questions onto the blackboard before she tossed the note at Fu Tingyan.
The sudden appearance of a folded note on Fu Tingyan's textbook led him to believe that it was a love letter from one of his female classmates. He picked it up and redirected it to Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu unfolded the note expectantly. The moment he saw the content within, he knew that it was not Fu Tingyan's handwriting.
Meanwhile, Qin Shu had watched Fu Tingyan toss the note to Jiang Yu, and her face darkened.
Jiang Yu read the content of the note again and mistakenly thought that one of their female classmates had a crush on Fu Tingyan's older brother.
With that, he tossed the note back to Fu Tingyan.
