Chapter 31: Slapping the Scumbag’s Face

“Dear customer (づ￣3￣)づ╭～, what would you like to buy?”

Pei Ye had been introduced by Zhu Chun’an. The alchemist did not know her identity, but customers were gods.

The deal might not work out, but the service had to be first-rate.

“I’m not buying. I just want to ask whether there are any pills that can help with weight loss, slimming, complexion improvement, and beauty enhancement. How effective are they? How long do they take to work?”

“Of course there are.” The alchemist sent an image showing the names and price list of various pills, all priced in units of ten thousand. The cheapest Slimming Pill cost 10,000 per bottle, with thirty pills per bottle. “Not only are there pills, but there are also medicinal creams. Taking them internally and applying them externally together works even better. Thirty days is one treatment course, and one course is enough to see results. During that time, there’s no need to diet or exercise. You can lose 7.5 to 10 kg (~16.5 to 22 lb) in a month, eat and drink as much as you want for a year without rebounding, and your skin will become delicate and smooth with no visible pores. Your complexion will become at least one shade lighter!”

Even though these words sounded very much like those of a social media salesperson...

Well, this alchemist really was a social media salesperson...

But the pills she sold were genuine. Mixed among a crowd of social media sellers peddling fake medicine, it was impossible to tell truth from falsehood, making her seem especially insignificant.

If Zhu Chun’an had not recommended her contact card, Pei Ye would have thought she had encountered an ordinary fake medicine seller. (:з」∠)

“Is it possible to achieve the kind of results you described within one or two days, or even half a day?”

The person on the other side fell silent for a while, typing and deleting, deleting and typing, going back and forth for nearly half a minute.

“A competitor trying to wreck my business?”

“No.” Pei Ye said, “I’m just curious. I want to know whether such pills exist.”

The alchemist considered her response carefully.

“I can’t say for certain they don’t exist, but I’ve never heard of pills with effects that overbearing. Achieving those kinds of results in such a short time is truly unbelievable. Even if they do exist, they’re probably obtained at a considerable cost. Take slimming pills as an example. Ninety-nine point nine percent of their ingredients are for nourishing and regulating the body. Only a tiny portion is actually used for slimming. It’s not that I’m selling fake medicine. Rather, losing that much weight in a short time would disrupt the body’s circulatory balance and cause enormous harm to ordinary people. That ninety-nine point nine percent of ingredients exists to keep people healthy while adjusting their bodies and helping them lose weight at the same time. That’s why I dare say my medicine is harmless.”

Pei Ye now had a rough understanding.

“Thanks for clearing that up. Muah (づ￣3￣)づ╭～. Although I don’t need these pills myself, I’ll find a way to recommend a few customers to you.”

The alchemist: “...”

Pei Ye set down her phone. Lei Yating was currently fiddling with a pile of cosmetics, applying this and that to her face. Her mood could not have been better.

Just then, a loud male voice suddenly came from outside the window, calling Lei Yating’s name.

Pei Ye was wondering who the person was when Lei Yating’s face darkened first.

How could she possibly fail to recognize the owner of that voice?

Even if she became a vengeful ghost, she would never forget it!

In her previous life, she had been deceived terribly by this scumbag. He had tricked her into getting pregnant, tricked her into marriage, tricked her out of her money, and tricked her into becoming a housewife.

She had endured the harsh treatment of a vicious mother-in-law and the ridicule of a bizarre sister-in-law, all while protecting her only daughter and struggling to survive within that family.

And what happened in the end?

All her tolerance earned her was this scumbag’s infidelity. He had even conspired with his mother over a house. His mother threw sulfuric acid on her and hacked her to death with a kitchen cleaver!

After being reborn, Lei Yating immediately chose to break up with the scumbag and worked hard to move forward instead of dwelling on the suffering of her previous life.

She had already tolerated so much. Why was he still unwilling to leave her alone?

A worthless phoenix man, couldn’t he find some rich girl from a wealthy family to latch onto instead of obsessing over her?

Thinking of this, all the events of her previous life surfaced in her mind, and hatred filled her chest.

The commotion outside was huge. Quite a few students were leaning out their windows to watch the excitement, hoping the heroine of the story would make an appearance.

The other girls in the dormitory all knew who Lei Yating’s boyfriend was, and they also knew that the two had always seemed to have a good relationship. They had no idea when the couple had broken up.

When they returned to the dormitory after class and saw the young man holding a loudspeaker and making a confession while carrying ninety-nine roses in his arms, their girlish hearts came alive again.

But they were currently at odds with Lei Yating, so naturally they were too embarrassed to ask.

Bai Xiaoxiao sneered.

“Go already. Whether you’re getting back together or rejecting him, at least deal with him. Why leave him standing downstairs outside the girls’ dormitory for everyone else’s entertainment?”

Lei Yating snorted coldly, slammed down her makeup mirror, and headed downstairs.

Scumbag!!!

Since he had delivered himself to her doorstep, he couldn’t blame her for showing no mercy!

Pei Ye leaned against the window and looked at the young man downstairs. He had delicate features and upright brows and eyes.

His clothes were not especially new, but they were very clean. His hair and fingernails were also meticulously groomed, making him appear fresh and neat.

To borrow one of those artistic phrases from the internet, he was a clean young man filled with sunshine and the scent of soapberries.

Pei Ye took out her phone, zoomed in, snapped a photo, and sent it to the all-purpose Zhu Chun’an.

“What do you think of this person’s physiognomy?”

On Zhu Chun’an’s end, his head was full of question marks.

He carefully examined the person in the photograph. The physiognomy was not bad.

“This junior is not particularly skilled in physiognomy. I only know a little. This person’s physiognomy is not exceptional, but it is not bad either.”

Pei Ye saw that Lei Yating had already charged up to the young man like a small tank, brimming with aggression.

“Specifically?”

“The shape of his eyebrows is orderly and thick, resembling triangles. His eyes are like those of an elephant. There are ripples above and below his eyelids. His Wealth Palace indicates moderate prosperity. Judging from this, he is diligent by nature and open-minded in conduct. He should have a long life. Although he will not enjoy great wealth or status, he should live comfortably with modest prosperity. Looking at the Parents Palace, the color in the upper middle portion of the left forehead is somewhat dim, while the right side is slightly fuller. This likely indicates that his father has passed away while his mother remains alive, and that his mother has a decent personality. Looking at the Children Palace, he is probably destined to have only one son in this lifetime. As for the Marriage Palace, I can’t see it very clearly...”

After all, it was only an enlarged photo. It was already impressive that Zhu Chun’an could discern this much.

He added another sentence.

“This person’s physiognomy is unstable. His fate has changed, and his Fortune is also low. I suggest waiting a while before examining him again.”

Pei Ye asked again, “If he got married, would he be a good partner?”

Zhu Chun’an: “???”

Someone Senior had taken a fancy to?

He could only widen his eyes and examine the photo even more carefully before replying cautiously.

“This person’s physiognomy is more suitable for a woman who is content with modest prosperity. Only if their temperaments are compatible can they have a fulfilling life together.”

If he encountered someone with a fiery and forceful personality, then no matter how sweet the romance was in the beginning, reality would gradually wear them down and create conflicts.

This man’s physiognomy showed tolerance, but tolerance was not limitless. There would eventually be a breaking point.

Hmm...

In any case, he felt that Senior and this young man had no destiny together. Forcing them together would only lead to a bad ending.

“Then would he cheat on his partner voluntarily?”

Zhu Chun’an said, “At present, it doesn’t seem likely.”

Pei Ye looked at Zhu Chun’an’s reply, then looked at the young man downstairs, who had lowered his head awkwardly under Lei Yating’s aggressive attitude. A trace of contemplation flashed through her eyes.

“What’s that young man’s name?”

Bai Xiaoxiao curled her lips.

“Min Yizhou. I’ve always said Lei Yating was deliberately toying with that poor boy’s sincere feelings. Sure enough.”

Min Yizhou had a good reputation in Dormitory 4021. Bai Xiaoxiao had even envied Lei Yating for finding such a thoughtful and high-quality boyfriend.
