344- Accompanying The Miser (舍前途陪小人)

Jing Yun Zhao looked down at the ginseng in her hands and caressed it lightly, her smile not going away no matter how much she tried.

It seemed like Cousin Cui found this particularly dazzling to her eyes and couldn’t keep up her acting any longer. But if she could get her hands on her things, there would also be no reason for her to continue acting like goody-two-shoes.

Many people would want good things and she did too, was there anything wrong?

“You don’t need to provoke me. You’re the one who proposed the wager and you’re also the one who took out the ginseng. Since you’ve already spoken this much, how could I not reciprocate?” Cousin Cui retorted, but was also afraid that Jing Yun Zhao would regret her actions, so she added on, “However, Jing Yun Zhao, I’m also someone who stands to reason. You’ve had a difficult life since childhood, so I understand if you’re not prepared to take this bet with me...”

Would it even be possible for Jing Yun Zhao to not know that this woman was using her past to spur her into action on purpose? Unfortunately for her, this move was no longer that useful.

“Since you’re so kind and generous enough to forgive me, then let’s just forget it!” Jing Yun Zhao raised an eyebrow and smirked.

Cousin Cui’s heart shook violently and she grinded her teeth.

As Cui Jun was watching her, he could tell how she felt and, believing in his cousin’s skills, he instantly stopped her, “We’ll bet! Why won’t we bet? You were the one who provoked my cousin, but then you’re regretting after you’ve taken your things out? What do you treat her as? What do you treat this palace to be?!”

“I’m holding the wager with her, not you. Who gave you the right to interrupt?” Jing Yun Zhao mercilessly glared at him. “To bet or not to bet, the decision lies with this cousin of yours.”

Such an alluring bait was put in front of her. If she could control herself, then Jing Yun Zhao would treat herself as blind and misunderstood the situation. If she met this Cousin Cui in the future, she would just accompany her politely and obediently.

Cousin Cui was feeling complicated, her jaw trembled slightly and after a while, she finally decided, “Cousin is right. Since you want to bet, you should keep to your word.”

“Should we reiterate the conditions of our wager?” Jing Yun Zhao smiled, looking like the cat that got the cream.

Behind her, the bystanding Ji Shan Shan and Tong Yan were had already been struck dumb.

Ji Shan Shan was the most conflicted one. She hoped that Cousin Cui would win and lose at the same time.

If Cousin Cui won, she would definitely feel stuffy about it, because how could such a good thing be taken away by her? Afterwards, her haughtiness would even go up in folds! But if she lost, then Cui Jun would be finished. If he kept to his word and promised not to make medicine, it meant that he wouldn’t be able to inherit his family’s business in the future. Everyone in the Cui family would be furious!

Even though it was just a small insurance, this was the Medical Seminar; a promise was worth it weight in gold. If they suddenly turned their backs and said the promise didn’t count, then no one would be willing to interact with them in the future. Not only that, everyone would also disdain him, and it also gave people enough reason to suppress him.

Although the wager sounded too good to be true, the truth was harshly undeniable and full of violence.

“We can’t just rely on a verbal agreement, let’s sign a contract,” Cousin Cui eagerly walked deeper into the trap.

This wager might not have legal benefits, but a living person was not only bound by the law; their social circle was also very important.

Jing Yun Zhao nodded in response. Immediately, Ji Shan Shan sent someone to invite a Senior with prestige to act as a witness and establish the rules of the bet: Jing Yunzhao used her future in pharmacy and a priceless root of ginseng against Cousin Cui. The pair of cousins as well we gambling with their future.

This was a huge gamble, so much so that even the Cui family didn’t put a stop to it.

Because in their eyes, Cousin Cui’s capability was extraordinary so it was impossible for her to lose. Someone like Jing Yun Zhao with no family background, no backing, or edification, even if they were in contact with Elder Xu, he would only let her learn some basics at most. There was no way for her to be any kind of amazing.

What’s more, that ginseng was enough for them to keep as their town’s treasure. If this cousin of Cui Jun’s could win it over, then it would naturally belong to their Cui Family’s!
