After my pharmacy was opened, I turned my life around.

Chapter 10 Who is whose grandson?

Haute couture dresses have to be ordered in advance, and time was too tight for An Zhiyuan to prepare, so she went to a nearby shopping mall and bought an elegant cheongsam for about one thousand yuan.

Although she does not have the tall figure of Shen Wening, she is thin where she should be thin and convex where she should be convex. This is called cheongsam, and it has a classical charm when she wears it.

The next day, she took a taxi according to the address sent by Shen Weining and arrived at a house located in a prime location in the city, exuding an ancient and luxurious atmosphere.

The vermilion gate stands majestically, and it is inlaid with rows of golden door nails, which sparkle brightly in the sunlight, as if telling of the glory of the past.

On both sides of the gate, a pair of majestic stone lions stand on the left and right. They have sharp eyes and upright postures, guarding the solemnity and mystery of this mansion.

When An Zhiyuan stepped through the gate, he saw a spacious courtyard. The ground was paved with bluestone, which had become smooth and warm after years of baptism.

The two women following closely behind her looked her up and down at her cheap, rubbish clothes, their eyes filled with disdain and their tone of voice filled with sarcasm.

Hao Mei glanced at An Zhiyuan who was standing in front of her and said, "The Shi family's servants must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. They let anyone in."

Xiao Qingqing pulled her along and said, "Look at how shabby she is dressed. She must be a newly hired servant of the Shi family. Why are you fussing with a servant? Let's go! Don't be late."

The two of them didn't shy away from asking her directly.

Haha! Maid?
An Zhiyuan was about to turn around and retort, but was accidentally bumped into by Hao Mei, and the birthday gift he prepared for the professor almost fell to the ground.

"sorry!"

The voice revealed a sense of gloating and evil amusement.

An Zhiyuan held the gift box steady, and when he looked up to argue with her, she was gone.

It's a little trick, but it runs pretty fast.

An Zhiyuan walked towards the hall.

Inside the hall, a huge crystal chandelier hangs from the high ceiling, and the light shines through the pale yellow gauze, casting a soft and warm glow.

The ground is covered with exquisite hand-woven carpets with gorgeous patterns and bright colors.

There are antique furniture pieces placed around, rosewood tables and chairs, carved screens, and dressing tables inlaid with gems, each of which exudes a strong historical atmosphere.

On the walls hang calligraphy and paintings by famous people, with graceful strokes and exquisite brushwork, adding a sense of cultural heritage to the entire room.

He is worthy of being a professor with many students all over the world and a leader in the antique world.

An Zhiyuan took some gifts to celebrate Mr. Shi’s birthday first.

"I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and longevity as great as the Southern Mountains. May your life be filled with sunshine and laughter, and may health and happiness always be with you. This small gift is not much of a token of my respect, so please accept it, Mr. Shi."

Shen Weining, who was standing by, took her gift and whispered in a voice that both of them could hear, "It's OK, Xiao Yuanzi, it's not ugly."

Professor Shi opened the box and found six gold ingots inside, each weighing one tael.

He took out a gold ingot and looked at the seal underneath and was shocked.

This... this is actually from the same era as the jade hairpin on her head.

After seeing this, Shen Weining looked at An Zhiyuan with surprise.

Wow, there are still six gold ingots, which are worth a lot of money! Most importantly, they have collection value.

Only An Zhiyuan remained calm, smiling and unhurried.

He closed the gift box and walked in front of her. "Xiao Ning said you agreed to come, I am already very happy. I can't accept such an expensive gift."

Two women standing not far away had been staring at An Zhiyuan since she came in, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, when she saw General Shi returning the gift to her, she knew that the six gold ingots were not worth it.

"I guessed right, didn't I? Those six gold ingots only look like they are worth a hundred thousand, not as much as the two hundred thousand birthday peaches I gave them. How could a man of Mr. Shi's status possibly appreciate them? It's so embarrassing to have his gifts rejected in public." Hao Mei, who bumped into her, sneered.

Wang Qingqing crossed her arms, her eyes full of contempt, "Just now I thought she was a new servant, but she turned out to be a clown trying to climb up the social ladder. She doesn't even look at her experience, and she dares to lick me?"

"That's right. If it were me, I would have left with that pile of garbage long ago to avoid embarrassment." "Look at her, she still has the nerve to smile. She is so shameless."

The two of you talk to each other.

An Zhiyuan didn't notice them when he came in, so he naturally didn't know anything about it. He explained to Mr. Shi the reason for giving them six gold ingots.

"Today is Mr. Shi's birthday. The six gold ingots represent that Mr. Shi will have everything go smoothly. They are a small token of my appreciation. Please accept them!"

Shen Weining helped her persuade, "Teacher, please accept it. After all, this is her kind gesture."

Just when they were sneering and slandering An Zhiyuan, they didn't expect that Mr. Shi would finally accept it.

"Little girl, then I won't be polite, haha." This birthday gift really touched his heart.

Can't put it down.

After receiving it, Mr. Shi smiled happily.

In their eyes, both of them were shocked and unbelievable, and most of them thought she was just a vixen.

"What? You actually accepted it."

"Mr. Shi actually asked for such a junky thing. This bitch is really good at it."

At this time, the housekeeper came over and whispered in his ear, but An Zhiyuan couldn't hear clearly.

"Excuse me, little girl. I have something to take care of."

"It's okay, you go ahead."

Before leaving, Mr. Shi also took Shen Weining with him.

Well, she can go around alone.

An Zhiyuan walked to the dining area and saw snacks and drinks on the table. As she came in a hurry and had not eaten yet, she picked up a piece of cake and started eating.

I felt inexplicably that there was a pair of eyes following me from behind.

She looked in the direction she felt, and wow, it turned out to be the little loser who pushed her.

When the other person saw her looking at him, he quickly looked away and pretended to talk to someone next to him.

An Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sly smile crossed his lips.

She picked up a glass of wine and strolled leisurely in the hall, looking at the paintings and admiring the various decorations in the hall. Before she knew it, she came to...

"what!"

A glass of wine was splashed on her face and Hao Mei screamed.

An Zhiyuan apologized in the same sarcastic tone she had used at the door before, "Oh! I'm sorry!"

She pulled out a piece of paper, pretending to have sprained her ankle, and limped forward to wipe her face, "I just tripped and accidentally splashed it on your face."

Hao Mei's makeup was smudged. The cheap cosmetics were applied on her face, and after An Zhiyuan wiped them off, she looked like a ghost.

The onlookers were so scared that they took a step back, fearing that they would have nightmares at night.

Hao Mei was furious, pushed her away, and took out a mirror from her handbag.

"what!"

She was frightened by herself in the mirror and threw the mirror at him angrily, but An Zhiyuan successfully dodged it.

An Zhiyuan's eyes were red, and he looked aggrieved. "I just explained that I didn't mean it, and I apologized. Why did you still hit me?"
