“North Bridge High School was a high school that even Song Baoyi couldn’t enter back then so how could Song Hua get in?

This little bastard really doesn’t know her place!” Zhou Lei thought.

“Why don’t you go down to the afterlife and ask grandma how she taught me all those years?”Song Hua looked at Zhou Lei and raised her eyebrows slightly.

It was clearly a statement that made people gnash their teeth, yet she said it with a smile. Her smile was like a flower blooming, making it hard for others to look away.

Zhou Lei was so stunned that she could not speak. She stared at Song Hua fiercely, almost unable to breathe.

Song Baoyi’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly before she spoke, “Song Hua, North Bridge is indeed the only high school that can be compared to the International School, but North Bridge is not as simple as you think. How about this, I’ll go with you to Ms. Ye’s office tomorrow. You don’t have to say anything. I’ll just apologize to Ms. Ye and if you really want to become an official student, I’ll think of a way for you.”

Actually, Song Baoyi knew very well why Song Hua wants to go to North Bridge High School.

It was because Song Hua wanted to be better than her.

“Song Hua had angered Ms. Ye, so she naturally was too embarrassed to return to the International School. The only way for her to regain her face was to think of a way to go to North Bridge.

But Song Hua should take a look at herself, what right did she have to go to North Bridge?

Bullshit.” Song Baoyi thought.

Song Hua was too lazy to say anything else. She looked at the cat by the door before saying, “I’ll go back to my room first.”

“Wait a minute!”

Song Dalong suddenly spoke.

Song Hua’s red lips parted slightly. “What?”

It was a very simple word, but it had an inexplicable aura.

Looking at Song Hua like this, Song Dalong suddenly felt a little flustered for some reason. He tried to act fierce as he spoke, “The eldest daughter of the Song family will always be Baoyi alone. Don’t forget your identity!”

“She was just an adopted daughter, did she really think that she could become more?” Song Dalong thought.

“For the school matter, you can either go with Baoyi to apologize to the teacher, or you can think of a way yourself! Don’t even think about entering North Bridge High School using Baoyi or the Song family!”

He refused to use his social connections for that little bastard!

Song Hua did not say anything. She bent down slightly to pick up the cat at the door and left the study room just like that.

Looking at Song Hua’s retreating figure, Song Dalong was also furious.

“Dad, don’t be angry,” Song Baoyi comforted softly. “She probably just hasn’t adapted yet so you and mom should bear with her.”

“Hasn’t adapted? What’s there for her to adapt?” Zhou lei could not contain her anger. “If it weren’t for us, she would still be a little bastard that no one wants!”

Zhou Lei calmed herself down and continued, “Mrs. Sun invited me to the tea party tomorrow afternoon. Baoyi, get ready and come with me.”

There were often tea parties held within the circle of wealthy ladies.

These wealthy ladies gathered together for two reasons. Firstly, they wanted to consolidate their relationships and expand their connections.

Secondly, they wanted to kill time. During the tea party, they could show off their husbands and their children.

Zhou Lei was more than happy to bring Song Baoyi to the tea party. After all, Song Baoyi was the most talented girl in River City.

“We should bring Song Hua along,” Song Baoyi said.

“What for?” Zhou Lei’s eyes were full of disdain. “So that she could embarrass us?”

It didn’t matter if she embarrassed herself but the Song family and Song Baoyi could not lose their faces.

Song Baoyi looked at Zhou Lei. “Song Hua has just returned so we have to bring her out more.”

“Baoyi is right. It’s time to bring her out to see the world!” Song Dalong added.

After all, Song Hua was the one who was engaged to Yu Tingzhi so they had to let more people know of Song Hua’s existence.

“Alright.” Zhou Lei nodded.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Lei seemed to have thought of something and continued, “Baoyi, has Mr. Wu returned recently?”

“Not yet, but he should be returning in the next few days,” Song Baoyi replied.

Zhou Lei said, “I heard that the Yun family will be attending the tea party this time.”

“Are you talking about Ms. Yun?” Song Baoyi asked.

Zhou Lei nodded. “Ever since Ms. Yun had an accident three years ago, she has sought medical treatment everywhere, but to no avail. If you can cure her face, then our family’s position in River City will be even more stable.”

Having a powerful family to fall back on would be better.

The Yun family was a powerful family that everyone wanted to have connections to, but unfortunately, no one could do it.

The only shortcut to have connections to the Yun family was to cure the face of the only heir of their family.

Song Baoyi had a lot of medical talent. Her teacher was even the Divine Doctor Wu, who was known as the descendant of Bian Que*. She had already made some achievements in the medical field at a young age so she would definitely do better when she has more experience which made Doctor Wu very happy.

Hearing this, Song Baoyi asked, “I heard that Ms. Yun got burnt, right?”

“Yes.” Zhou Lei nodded. “I’ve asked around and her injury was caused by getting burnt.”

Song Baoyi smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, you don’t have to worry.”

Her main focus was on repairing her appearance, burns, and scalds. Her medical skills were even better than Doctor Wu’s in this aspect. She was confident that she could repair Ms. Yun’s face!

…

Upstairs.

Song Hua brewed some goat milk for the cat before switching on her phone to check the fund.

In just two days, the fund which originally only had 20 dollars, had now risen to 250 dollars.

However, Song Hua did not plan to keep her money in the fund. Instead, she clicked to sell it. This fund seemed to be making money now, but in fact, raising tenfold was already its maximum. If she did not sell it now, she would lose everything.

Then, Song Hua took out 150 dollars from her balance and bought three more funds.

After doing all this, she picked up the cap on the table and put it on her head. The black brim of the cap covered her eyes and eyebrows, and only her crimson lips could be seen.

When she came downstairs, the servants all gave Song Hua a strange look.

In their eyes, Song Hua was just a village girl from the countryside.

Even if she came to the Song family, she could not change her poor and petty manner. The servants had never treated her as the eldest daughter of the Song family.

Song Hua did not care about how these people saw her.

After leaving the Song family’s villa, Song Hua glanced at a shared bike.

Her back view looked indescribably cool riding a bike with one hand.

Half an hour later, she arrived at her destination-

The number one medicinal herbs market in the country.

It occupied an area of more than 30 hectares.

The body of the original owner was weak and sickly.

Fortunately, Song Hua knew some basics of traditional Chinese medicine. The body of the original owner might be a little troublesome in the eyes of other doctors, but in Song Hua’s hands, it was just a matter of consuming some traditional Chinese medicine.

Song Hua parked the bike and carried the little kitten to a medicinal shop. “Hello, please give me two grams of saffron, two grams of herbs, two grams of schisandra…”

“Okay, wait a moment.”

Not long after, the boss packed up the herbs. “Little girl, it’s 50 dollars in total.”

Song Hua took the herbs and looked down at them without changing her expression. “Thank you, I don’t want them anymore.”

“You don’t want them?” The boss was furious when he heard that. “I’ve packed it up, and now you’re telling me you don’t want them! Are you toying with me?”

The boss of the shop was burly and fierce. If it were anyone else, they would have been scared silly.

However, not only was Song Hua not scared, she asked calmly, “Don’t you know why I don’t want them anymore?”

“Little girl, I see that you’re beautiful but how can you do such unscrupulous things?! I’ve already weighed the herbs for you but you just say that you don’t want them anymore! Aren’t you just wasting my time? You have to give me an explanation today!”

Because the boss’s voice was too loud, many passersby came to watch.

When the boss saw so many people, he became even more passionate as he shouted, “Everyone, come and see! The little girl is pretty, but why is she so inconsiderate? I worked hard to pack the medicine for her, but she said she doesn’t want it!”

Hearing this, the onlookers started to blame Song Hua.

“How can she be like this?!”

“Her family must not have taught her well!”

“…”

Song Hua still looked indifferent. There was no trace of panic on her clear face. She unhurriedly opened the medicinal bag and said, “I want two grams of saffron. What did you give me? Hmm?”

Hearing this, the boss’s heart skipped a beat.

“No!

Impossible!

How old was this young girl in front of him? How could she tell what a real saffron was?

She was probably just acting!” He thought.

“What could it be but saffron?” The boss looked fierce, but he was feeling guilty inside. “Don’t be unreasonable here!”

“The head of the saffron is shaped like a trumpet. There are cracks on one side and thin serrated teeth on the other side. Although the safflower is similar to the saffron, it doesn’t have these characteristics. You used the safflower to pretend to be the saffron, aren’t you the evil one?”

Song Hua’s tone was indifferent, but it caused a wave of sighs among the crowd.

“The saffron was very precious and costs more than 20 dollars per gram. The safflower, however, costs 20 dollars per pound!

The boss was too black-hearted!

“What nonsense are you talking about, little girl! If you don’t want to buy it, then forget it!” The boss looked at the chattering crowd and felt very guilty. He had thought that the little girl was easy to fool, but he did not expect her to know her stuff. He stretched out his hand to take the medicine bag away.
