Chapter 259: Fu Zhi’s True Identity – 2

Lu Chuwan’s smile froze.

“What do you mean by Version 2.0? Did you make a mistake during the test?” Lu Chuwan had never heard of any Version 2.0 before. “It has only been a few days since the sale of the first generation of the medicine started, so how’s there any chance they will introduce a Version 2.0 so soon?”

‘It doesn’t make any sense!’

Besides, Dong Cun had told her that the medicine was difficult to produce, so she could not imagine how much effort the government had to invest to manufacture Version 2.0.

Most importantly, how had Fu Zhi gotten her hands on the medicine?

Lu Chuwan went forward and grabbed the test result from Dong Cun’s hand.

Ye Zhiwen’s attitude changed again. Moving like a wind across the laboratory, he took the stools away from Lu Chuwan and her group and moved three chairs over to Fu Zhi. “Miss, may I ask who you got the medicine from? Can you introduce them to me?”

“Call me aunt,” Fu Zhi corrected him.

Ye Zhiwen answered obediently, “Nice to meet you, aunt.”

Lu Jingqing’s jaw dropped in reaction to Ye Zhiwen’s shamelessness.

Nodding, Fu Zhi said, “Yes, I can introduce them to you, but you have to give me a referral fee. After all, financial matters should be settled clearly even though I’m your aunt and you’re my nephew.”

“Sure! That’s not a problem at all!” Ye Zhiwen replied without any hesitation.

Lu Chuwan looked at the scene before her and clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her flesh. Her chest was pumping up and down rapidly, as anger was snowballing fast inside of her.

She did not know why things would turn out this way. She was supposed to be the center of attraction, and yet Fu Zhi had stolen her thunder once again.

‘Why does she have to get in my way every single time? Why?’ she asked inwardly.

At the same time, Madam Lu only now realized they had accused Fu Zhi wrongly. She took a step back and hid behind the door.

As she took cover behind the door, she tried to recall if she had said something harsh to Fu Zhi just now. She pulled her hand out and began counting on her fingers to see how many sentences she had said to Fu Zhi ever since she’d stepped into the hospital. After all, considering Fu Zhi’s way of doing things, Madam Lu was certain that she would certainly rake things up against her, so she had to prepare herself for it.

Bai Yao pulled her daughter into her arms, while Dong Cun just stood frozen stiff on the spot. His brain was a muddled mess right now, and it took him a long while to come back to his senses. It was only now that he realized how wrong he had been. He should not have been prejudiced against Fu Zhi, and it had been a mistake to treat her unfairly.

He pulled Lu Chuwan away from Bai Yao’s arms and led her to Fu Zhi. He wanted her to apologize to Fu Zhi, but he did not know whether it would work or not. “It’s true that Chuwan made a mistake in this case, so she owes you an apology.”

If he had taken a stand before the revelation, he could have presented himself as a fair and unbiased adult and things would not have looked too bad for him. However, it was too late now. After everything he had done and the things he had said to Fu Zhi, trying to act reasonable and understanding right now would only make him look like a clown, and the person who had put him in such an awkward situation was none other than his own niece.
