"Daddy's been busy! How's Duoduo doing lately? Is she feeling any better? I've been urging her three times to come up with a special appointment for you, and I even managed to get Dr. Thomson from the Shanghai Hospital!"
Qian Chengji's gaze was cunning; he looked at Shu Ran with a kind expression, but could not hide the scheming beneath.
Unconsciously, her hair stood on end. Shu Ran steadied herself and said with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you, Father. Father is so good to Duo Duo!"
"Dr. Thomson, I'm counting on you for my daughter!"
Qian Chengji gave up his seat, and the tall man behind him was now fully revealed.
Brown hair and blue eyes, a typical Western appearance, dressed in a sharp suit, and fiddling with a pocket watch in his hand.
"Ms. Qian, hello, I..."
His Chinese was fairly fluent, and his manner of speaking was humorous and witty, which made people unconsciously lower their guard. Shu Ran, however, became more vigilant without showing any sign of it, feeling that her scumbag father was up to no good and that he was up to no good!
Hypnosis?
A subtle drowsiness washed over her. Although she didn't feel particularly sleepy, Shu Ran still followed their wishes and slowly closed her eyes. At the same time, a leaf quietly appeared in her mouth.
"Mr. Qian, the hypnosis was successful. You can ask me anything you want now."
"It's done so quickly? Dr. Thomson, your skills are superb!"
Ignoring Qian Chengji's flattery, Thomson glanced at the pocket watch on his hand: "You have five minutes. After five minutes, the hypnosis will be lifted, and she will fall into a deep sleep."
After saying that, Thomson consciously moved away. He didn't bother to talk to Qian Chengji at all. If he weren't in a hurry to return to China and was short of money, he wouldn't have done something like bullying a child.
Without even having time to ask why the time was so short, Qian Chengji quickly began to inquire.
The same questions came up again, and Shu Ran gave the same answers. With a crisp "tick-tock" sound, Shu Ran stopped talking, calculating the time.
Having received the same answer as before, Qian Chengji's face turned extremely ugly. He even regretted listening to Sheng Ru's advice, wasting five small yellow croakers and incurring the favor of the shipping company.
Thomson glanced at Qian Chengji's face, but didn't care, calmly accepting the reward he was entitled to.
After politely seeing Thomson off, Qian Chengji turned and left, leaving only one sentence for Ah Chao who was following behind.
"We won't need to keep an eye on Qian Duoduo anymore."
After everyone left, Shu Ran continued to pretend to be asleep. Unable to fall asleep and unable to wake up, she simply sank her consciousness into the space and started fiddling with the interstellar products she had just received that day. She also tidied up the space again, including the saliva-covered emerald green leaf that was placed aside.
……
"How did I fall asleep? Where's Daddy?"
"The master and Dr. Tang left together after examining you. Before leaving, the master specifically told you to rest well, and the doctor also said that you were fine and just needed to take good care of yourself."
Cuixiu was beaming with joy, very happy that her young mistress was alright.
I don't know where that scumbag father got his connections; he even knows foreigners who can hypnotize.
Shu Ran was somewhat relieved that she had those invigorating leaves; otherwise, if she had really been hypnotized and had blurted something out, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
What Shu Ran didn't know was that the "fragrant leaves" only played a supporting role; the main reason was still her own.
Her mental strength had been significantly enhanced through three months of continuous mining, making her difficult to hypnotize. Even without it, she could resist today's situation.
Stopping thinking about what happened before, Shu Ran looked at the person who had laid out dinner in front of her: "Cuixiu, I promised you that you could go home this month. When are you planning to go back?"
Cuixiu was a little shy, but she didn't hesitate and said directly, "Brother Hong said he'll pick me up the day after tomorrow, but I haven't had a chance to tell you yet, Miss!"
"It'll be soon. Tomorrow, pack your things, catch up with some old friends, and come see me before you leave. Leave everything else to others!"
"I understand, Miss. I just wanted to serve you a little longer before I left."
After Cuixiu left, Shuran got up and went to the dressing table. She opened the drawers and spent a long time picking out items that were neither too expensive nor too valuable.
Two unset gold rings, two pairs of pure gold earrings, two silver hairpins, a pair of silver bracelets, and ten silver dollars.
This was selected by Shu Ran based on her memory, and its value was equivalent to the dowry that the original owner's biological mother gave to the maidservant.
Wrap it up separately and set it aside, to be given to Cuixiu when she comes to say goodbye.
She hadn't looked closely before, but after fiddling around, Shu Ran discovered that there were quite a few nice things in the jewelry box. They were all exquisite, and the colors were pink and bright, which were very suitable for her current age.
The night was as dark as ink, and Shu Ran lay in bed quietly waiting for this surprise.
Having experienced two cheat codes, Shu Ran was full of anticipation for drawing a new one today.
It's a pity that there weren't many bugs to submit this time. All issues were resolved promptly during use, and even language issues were taken into account. Thumbs up!
Item-type plugin: Thousand Faces.
Introduction: A masterpiece from a master craftsman in plane 222. Su Mali couldn't understand why she, who possessed the Mary Sue Childbirth System, would be hunted down for leaving behind too many emotional debts. This predicament inspired her creativity, and thus, Thousand Faces was born.
Looking at the newly acquired cheat, Shu Ran pondered, "Is it what I thought it was?"
The next day, unsurprisingly, Cuizhi took over Cuixiu's previous work. This was something Cuixiu had planned long ago. After all, Cuizhi was her cousin. It was better to give it to a relative than to someone else. At least the young lady wouldn't forget that she had someone like her, and she would have a backer.
After Cuixiu left, there were even fewer people in the courtyard, and it became even quieter.
Shu Ran had more freedom of movement. During the day, except for eating and sleeping, she would stay alone in her study, and no one would easily come to disturb her.
After a few days of staying still, Shu Ran was itching to get out and explore with "Thousand Faces" in her hands. She hadn't left the house since arriving in this era, so it was time to go out and see the world!
After breakfast, as usual, I locked myself in my study, took out the puppet doll, and after binding it with blood, the small doll instantly grew larger, becoming indistinguishable from a real person, except that it had no breath and no temperature.
I set the tasks for the puppet, changed into my own clothes, and watched her walk to the desk and sit down.
Shu Ran donned the cloak and put on the "Thousand Faces" app. She randomly selected a young person dressed in a way that suited the current era from the "Thousand Faces" database. As she watched herself in the mirror gradually grow taller, her clothes changed accordingly.
Shu Ran looked at the young man in the mirror in surprise, pinched her own cheek, and the young man in the mirror did the same.
Wow, that's amazing!
It won't delay us. There aren't many people around at this time. Even Cuizhi is taking a nap inside.
Shu Ran jumped out of the window and ran out, avoiding the people in the courtyard. She then climbed over two more walls before finally getting out of the Qian family compound.
