The story of a bullied daughter's rise to power

It’s just... I thought it was a very simple matter, but who would have thought that I would meet Situ Yaorao and a man in red.

When Liu Chen saw Situ Yaorao, his heart still moved slightly. Although he knew her identity and knew that there was no possibility between him and her, he still couldn't help but like her.

Love at first sight, although it sounds a bit frivolous and vague, he was serious. Otherwise, he would not have taken her to the lotus pond outside the city, nor would he have taken her to the Liu family.

He had originally thought that no matter how the Liu family tried to stop him, as long as he gritted his teeth and married her, his father wouldn't really do anything to him. But he hadn't expected that Situ Yaorao would actually... Thinking of her identity, Liu Chen felt a stomachache.

While Liu Chen was struggling with his thoughts, Situ Yaorao heard Yu Sheng's teasing whisper beside him: "Situ, what a coincidence!"

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao glared at him hatefully and said, "Shut up right there, or I'll really be a hands-off boss from now on." These words really had an effect on Yu Sheng.

You know, Yu Sheng's biggest fear right now is that Situ Yaorao will leave him with this mess. Even if he deliberately seized the restaurant, Situ Yaorao wouldn't say anything. But...his personality is such that he wouldn't do such a thing. And precisely because Situ Yaorao knew this, she acted so recklessly.

Therefore, what Yu Sheng feared most was that this ancestor would become a hands-off boss and exhaust him to death.

"Everyone, my pharmacy has been passed down for seven generations. Over the past five hundred years, the pharmacy has enjoyed a very good reputation in Xunyang City. If it were not for the current situation, I would not sell out the pharmacy even if you beat me, an old man." After several people had already made up their minds, the owner here spoke.

The owner of this place is a seventy-year-old man. The shopkeeper is his son. This medicine shop is a long-established medicine shop in Xunyang City. The shop has been passed down from generation to generation, and each generation's shopkeeper will eventually become the owner of the medicine shop. Now, they want to sell it. Xunyang City's peonies are indeed harmful to people.

Situ Yaorao sighed inwardly, but naturally, she wouldn't say much about such matters. If it weren't for this, the pharmacy wouldn't be sold. She had fallen in love with this place the moment she moved in. It was spacious and gave people a comfortable feeling. She was someone who trusted her first impression, so she immediately made up her mind: no matter what, she was going to buy this pharmacy.

Although she was soft-hearted, she also had her reasons. She didn't allow Yu Sheng to take over other shops because this one shop was enough. However, she also had her eye on this medicine pavilion.

Naturally I won't be soft-hearted.

"The two people who want to buy this medicine pavilion today are this young man in red, young Master Liu Chen, and young Master Yu. The starting price of the medicine pavilion is 10,000 taels of silver. Whoever of you offers the highest price will own the medicine pavilion. Also, an old man like me is too lazy to take the remaining herbs in the medicine pavilion. The medicine pavilion has fallen into such a state that I don't want to open a medicine shop again in this life. I just want to take the money and find a quiet place to live out my remaining life."

After the old man finished speaking, he also glanced at his son and said, "Jin'er, you should take charge of today's affairs. I really can't bear to let you go."

"Yes, father." The middle-aged man who had just poured tea said, and walked forward. He said to everyone, "Let's start now."

"Ten thousand taels of silver." The person who spoke was Liu Chen. He was not determined to own this medicine shop, but... somehow, seeing that Situ Yaorao wanted it, he spoke up.

Maybe, I really blame her.

Liu Chen himself couldn't explain what he was thinking.

Hearing Liu Chen speak, the man in red actually laughed: "Thirty thousand taels." After saying that, he glanced at Situ Yaorao and Yu Sheng, as if he had thought of something interesting.

Situ Yaorao felt a little uneasy at his glance. She had a very clear sense of danger. She had previously thought Luo Mingjing dangerous, and although they later became friends, his danger was undeniable. But the man before her made her want to run away. He was simply too terrifying.

Situ Yaorao didn't want to look at him, so she tapped Yu Sheng's hand. Yu Sheng then said, "Fifty thousand taels."

"Seventy thousand." Liu Chen spoke, but his eyes fell on Situ Yaorao.

"Cousin!" Just after Liu Chen shouted seventy thousand, a woman's joyful voice suddenly came from outside the medicine pavilion, and then a woman in pink rushed in.

Then, after seeing Situ Yaorao in the room, his expression changed: "Cousin, why is she here too?"

"Don't mess around." Liu Chen frowned.

"But cousin..."

"Okay, we're discussing buying this place, stop messing around." Liu Chen was really helpless with his cousin. According to common sense, he could indeed drive her away. However, once he returned, this girl might complain to his father again, and then he would be in trouble. What his father hated most was irresponsible people. This girl was his fiancée, and as a fiancé, he should bear the responsibility. In his father's words, if you are a member of the Liu family, you must work for the Liu family. Since you are engaged, you must love her for the rest of your life. Even if that is not your original intention.

Liu Chen didn't know how his father had managed to do this back then, but it was indeed difficult for him to do it.

"Cousin..." The woman felt wronged. The moment she saw Situ Yaorao, a hint of jealousy surged in her heart. She and her cousin were clearly engaged. But her cousin's heart had always been with someone else. How could she accept this?

Besides, my uncle has already told my cousin to stay away from this woman, so why do they still meet?

"One hundred thousand," the man in red suddenly said. At this point, the woman finally believed what Liu Chen had just said. This was a fight for the pharmacy. Although she was willful and capricious, she didn't dare to interfere in matters of great importance. So, she gritted her teeth and said, "Cousin, I'm going back first. When I get back, you must explain to me why that woman still wants to meet with you."

After saying that, he ran out without waiting for Liu Chen to say anything.

After she ran away, Liu Chen was embarrassed. He looked at Situ Yaorao and said, "I'm so sorry, girl. My cousin has been spoiled by my father."

Upon hearing this, Situ Yaorao looked calm. She glanced at the man and said, "It's okay. She can only talk anyway." After saying that, Situ Yaorao glanced at Yu Sheng.

Seeing that Situ Yaorao was still unwilling to give up this place, Yu Sheng knew that she had set her sights on this place. So she continued to raise the price: "One hundred and one hundred thousand."

Yu Sheng would continue to bid, which made Liu Chen hesitate. If this pharmacy's price had been before Xunyang City became like this, even if it had been three hundred and ten thousand taels of silver, it might not have sold. But now, a hundred thousand taels of silver would have been enough to buy it. But who knew... it would have been raised to one hundred and ten thousand taels of silver.

This is really not worth it.

Although he has resentment in his heart, he will fight for things that he should fight for, but he will not be too impulsive for things that he should not fight for.

While he was hesitating, the man in red said, "One hundred and twenty thousand."

If Situ Yaorao felt that this person was dangerous just now, then now she would want to give him some medicine to make him have diarrhea and not come back.

If this person continues to fight, the cost to this pharmacy will be even greater.

Not to mention Situ Yaorao, Yu Sheng also frowned. He looked at Situ Yaorao and saw Situ Yaorao continue to nod. So he had no choice but to continue: "130,000."

"One hundred and fifty thousand." The man in red didn't even raise his head.

Holy shit! Situ Yaorao felt like strangling the person opposite her.

"Seven hundred thousand." Yu Sheng's anger was rising. He wasn't afraid of bidding. Money? He had plenty. Ever since he stopped running Lan Yige, the Yu family hadn't frozen his assets.

However, because of this man in red, this pharmacy had an inappropriate price, which made him unbearable.

"Two hundred thousand." The man in red didn't seem to care about Yu Sheng and the others' price. He remained expressionless. The owner of the medicine pavilion was also surprised. He hadn't expected such a high price.
