Sun Shuyao nodded guiltily: "I'm not familiar with him at all. He only spoke up for me last time because I saved him."

Lu Chengyu nodded and took out a bag of Chinese medicine and gave it to her: "These are medicines to help with pregnancy. I asked your master to prescribe them for you."

You should start drinking it in a month.

Sun Shuyao looked surprised: "You went to see my master?"

Lu Chengyu nodded: "Yes, so the baby in your belly must be a boy, so don't worry too much."

He took out a wad of cash and gave it to her: "This is my salary from last month. Take it and use it to nourish your body."

Sun Shuyao stared at the large sum of money in shock: "You got a raise?"

Lu Chengyu nodded, then lowered his voice: "The price went up by five yuan. I used the rest of the money to do some other business. We'll only have more and more money in the future."

Sun Shuyao's face lit up with joy: "Then can I buy a silver bracelet?"

Lu Chengyu readily agreed: "Buy it, go ahead and buy it. I'll buy you a pair next month when I have more money."

Sun Shuyao excitedly put away the eighty yuan, then happily ran back into the house and took out the silver bracelet that Yang Xiaohua had given her earlier.

She had just opened the box when she was stunned to see the discolored silver bracelet inside. She took out a piece of cloth and rubbed it vigorously, but the bracelet became darker and darker with each rub, losing all its silver luster.

Sun Shuyao's heart sank completely. She gritted her teeth in anger and stormed out of the house.

Yang Xiaohua actually tricked her with a fake bracelet, a whole forty yuan! What a slut!

Seeing her so angry and about to leave, Lu Chengyu asked curiously, "Where are you going? Who upset you?"

When Sun Shuyao heard him shout, she instantly regained her senses and stopped in her tracks.

She couldn't let Lu Chengyu know that she had money back then, but had been hiding it and refusing to spend it.

If he finds out, he'll definitely hold a grudge against her.

Sun Shuyao could only stare blankly at Lu Chengyu: "It's nothing, I just wanted to find Xiaohua."

I wonder how she's been lately.

Lu Chengyu looked at her suspiciously: "Why do I feel like you're a little angry?"

Sun Shuyao: "I'm angry that she hasn't been coming to see me lately. You know I don't have many friends here, and I'm unfamiliar with the place, so it's just you and her."

A hint of heartache flashed in Lu Chengyu's eyes: "I'm sorry you had to go through this. Once you've finished your apprenticeship with Researcher Su, I'll take you back."

Sun Shuyao was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, as she had nominally become Su Researcher's apprentice.

But the two of them could hardly meet. Whenever they met, her master would say that he had research tasks and didn't have time to teach her.

"Chengyu, didn't you say we'd go back after the baby was born?"

Lu Chengyu nodded and reassured her, "But things have changed again."

Researcher Su is such a skilled doctor. If you learn his medical skills, you can go back and work directly at our Beijing Municipal Hospital.

"Do you want to give up? Do you no longer want to be that praised miracle doctor, no longer want to be the director of Beijing Hospital?"

Sun Shuyao was initially discouraged, but his words revived her spirits, and her eyes shone brightly: "I think so."

"Chengyu, I will work hard." By then, what will Old Master Lu be? She won't have to put up with Yao Lamei and the others anymore.

When she's capable enough, Lu Chengyu won't be able to get angry at her so easily.

"I'm going to work. You stay home and rest well." Lu Chengyu said, then rode his bicycle out of the yard.

As soon as Sun Shuyao saw him leave, she couldn't wait to go to Houdao Street to look for Yang Xiaohua.

It was lunchtime, and many people were resting at home. When she arrived, Yang Xiaohua happened to be home as well.

After leaving Yang Xiaofang, Yang Xiaohua became quite haggard without anyone to provide for her. Upon seeing Sun Shuyao, she immediately inquired solicitously, "Shuyao, did you find a job for me that you said you'd have your man find me?"

Sun Shuyao glared at Yang Xiaohua: "Yang Xiaohua, do you have any shame? You tried to fool me with a fake silver bracelet, and now you still have the nerve to ask my man to find you a job."

Yang Xiaohua was dumbfounded: "What fake silver bracelet? Stop slandering me. That bracelet is pure silver."

Seeing that she wouldn't admit it, Sun Shuyao threw the bracelet away: "Look at this bracelet, is it even silver? How can silver turn black and rust?"

Yang Xiaohua looked at the bracelet with a surprised expression: "Did you leave it for too long?"

"Even if it's been sitting for a long time, silver wouldn't be like this. You're just trying to fool me with a fake bracelet," Sun Shuyao said angrily. "Here's the bracelet back, but you have to give me back the money I paid for your rent."

Yang Xiaohua was also unhappy and glared at Sun Shuyao: "When I gave you the bracelet, it was perfectly fine."

Now you're bringing me this dark, unremarkable thing and claiming it's from me? Where's the proof? If you ask me, you've definitely switched the silver bracelet and are trying to extort money from me.

"Yang Xiaohua, you shameless person! This is your silver bracelet. I still have the box with me, and this style is also available."

Yang Xiaohua picked up the bracelet and examined it closely. When she saw a hidden letter on it, her heart instantly turned ice-cold.

It turned out that Dr. Su had bought a fake bracelet to fool her. Even if she was stupid, Yang Xiaohua could guess what was going on.

First, Jiang Linwan's family was slandered and almost got into trouble, but then her sister took all the blame, and she and her sister became enemies.

It turns out that this was all part of Dr. Su's meticulous planning.

Poor thing, she was still foolishly trying to save money to go find him!

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Sun Shuyao was about to rush into the house: "Yang Xiaohua, this matter is not over. If you don't pay me, you can take your things to offset my debt."

"Sun Shuyao, stop right there! What were you doing in Shimo Village half a month ago?" Yang Xiaohua shouted.

Sun Shuyao paused slightly as she reached the doorway, turning her head with a hint of panic and suspicion to look at her: "Xiaohua, what are you talking about? I've never been to Shimo Village."

"Really? Isn't that you wearing a red woolen shirt, dark blue trousers, and little leather shoes?" Yang Xiaohua was referring to the clothes she was wearing today.

"I remember seeing a man at the time, and I think I know who he is, it seems to be..." Yang Xiaohua hadn't finished speaking.

Sun Shuyao quickly interrupted her: "Xiaohua, we're sisters. I'm just a little angry that you tricked me with a fake bracelet."

Since you don't have any money either, you can pay me back later.

"Shuyao, Lu Chengyu is so good to you, how could you be so ambiguous with other men behind his back, and with this bracelet too."

You're the one who caused that patient's illness. You clearly have money, but you're hiding it and unwilling to give it up, forcing Lu Chengyu to pay. It seems that Lu Chengyu has no place in your heart at all.

"It's a pity he's so devoted to you. If he knew you were so wary of him and even cheated on him, I wonder what he would do?" Yang Xiaohua sighed as she spoke.

"Shuyao, I've always considered you a sister, but you can't force me! Don't you think so?"
