Chapter 347: 347 Old Photo_1

"So you’re not surprised at all by the peach blossom blooming in October."

Wen Wanyu looked at Lu Qingyi, a slight smile lifting the corners of her lips.

Everyone who stepped into her home marveled at the peach blossom, but Lu Qingyi remained quite calm, noting that it bloomed all year round without ever withering.

Incredible, just like her mother, a girl with exceptional observational skills and intelligence.

"I know of a gardenia that blooms throughout the year, so I wouldn’t be surprised by a peach blossom either."

Lu Qingyi shook her head, replying that in this world, many things deemed impossible could end up becoming possible.

Peach blossoms that bloom all year round against the rules of nature could become possible through genetic modifications."

"You must have an incredible talent for medicine."

Wen Wanyu looked at Lu Qingyi; her eyes filled with warmth.

Having a mother with exceptional medical talent, the daughter was sure to be equally remarkable, either slightly better or slightly less so.

Lu Qingyi merely smiled without speaking.

"Why did you choose to study traditional Chinese medicine?"

Wen Wanyu asked, feeling that traditional Chinese medicine was not Lu Qingyi’s strong suit since Ruan Qingyang’s weak point at that time was traditional Chinese medicine.

Besides genetic mutation, Wen Wanyu did not think that Lu Qingyi would be particularly proficient in traditional Chinese medicine.

"Because I wanted to."

Lu Qingyi pulled up a chair and sat down, speaking slowly.

She had lost interest in everything else, only traditional Chinese medicine held a slight interest for her as she had a rudimentary understanding of it while she had thoroughly learned everything else.

Wen Wanyu commented, "You should be quite good at biology."

Lu Qingyi nodded, "Yes, I’m not bad."

"What made you think of visiting me today?"

Wen Wanyu was slightly puzzled. Her face was a bit pale, and there was a layer of perspiration on her forehead, but she spoke in a relaxed tone with Lu Qingyi.

"Your leg, let me have a look."

Without responding to the question, Lu Qingyi quickly changed the subject, her gaze dropping to Wen Wanyu’s leg.

Just by looking, Lu Qingyi felt that Wen Wanyu’s leg was not a major issue. There were very few people studying traditional Chinese medicine these days, even fewer who excelled at it. Wen Wanyu’s leg would likely not pose a significant issue if treated with traditional Chinese medicine methods.

She had proficiency in traditional Chinese medicine, apart from some obscure knowledge that she didn’t understand.

"You’ve only studied medicine for a few days..."

Wen Wanyu looked at Lu Qingyi, shaking her head helplessly.

She had seen this confidence in Ruan Qingyang before; the mother and daughter really were incredibly similar.

She had noticed the similarities between Lu Qingyi and Ruan Qingyang before, but she had intentionally ignored this.

Back then, she firmly believed that Gu Yansi was Ruan Qingyang’s child, naturally assuming that the resemblance between Lu Qingyi and Ruan Qingyang was just a coincidence.

Once the truth came to light, that Lu Qingyi was Ruan Qingyang’s biological child, Wen Wanyu realized then, the more she looked at Lu Qingyi, the more striking the resemblance between her and the younger Ruan Qingyang.

Without replying, Lu Qingyi squatted down, rolled up Wen Wanyu’s pant leg, and began examining her leg with her hands, using just the right amount of pressure.

Looking down at Lu Qingyi, Wen Wanyu’s eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

"It’s not a major issue."

It took less than a minute for Lu Qingyi to conclude. She stood up and casually said, "Wen Wanyu’s leg, is not a major issue."

"Did you study this in the past?"

Wen Wanyu did not question Lu Qingyi’s words, but she seemed a bit startled as she asked.

Even for a prodigy, mastering the art of medicine in just a few days seemed unlikely because medicine really was complex.

Just like Ruan Qingyang, Lu Qingyi would never make claims about things she couldn’t do but only voiced those she was certain about.

Lu Qingyi nodded, "I studied it before."

"Do you have silver needles?"

Lu Qingyi patted her pocket and turned to ask Ruan Qingyang.

She did not carry silver needles with her, as it was not her habit to do so.

"Yes, in that cupboard over there. You can go find them."

Wen Wanyu wanted to stand up and fetch it herself but, helpless against the pain that ensued whenever she stood, she had to sit back down and let Lu Qingyi fetch them herself.

Lu Qingyi delved into the cupboard. As she searched, a photo suddenly fell out. Lu Qingyi bent down to pick it up, and she was taken aback the moment she saw the photo.

The photo was quite old and had two happy young girls in it. One of them resembled Yao Meishu, only with a different aura, and the other one was probably Wen Wanyu.

Wen Wanyu, in her youth, was beautiful and had a wonderful disposition.

"Aunt Wen..."

Lu Qingyi held the silver needles and picked up the photo as well, biting her lower lip as she looked at Wen Wanyu.

"What’s wrong?"

A soft smile spread across Wen Wanyu’s face.

"You were incredibly beautiful when you were young."

A small smile appeared on Lu Qingyi’s face as she spoke.

Her mother was beautiful too. She wished her mother was still alive.

"Saw the picture?"

Wen Wanyu was startled for a moment before she finally spoke after a long silence. Her voice was a bit slow.

She had good control over her daily emotions, but photos genuinely touched a sensitive nerve, making her grieve.

Lu Qingyi nodded, "Yes."

The first time she saw her mother was in a photo. Lu Qingyi could not describe her feelings; they were neither sad nor happy.

"I will give you an acupuncture treatment for your leg."

Lu Qingyi set the photo aside and then took out the silver needles, squatted down, located the acupuncture points accurately, and inserted the needles.

Quickly.

Before Wen Wanyu could feel pain, Lu Qingyi had finished inserting the needles. She stood up and dusted off her hands.

"Take them out after fifteen minutes."

After finishing her words, Lu Qingyi pulled a chair and sat down. She grabbed her phone from her pocket.

"Qingyi, these past years must have been difficult for you."

Lowering her eyes to her own leg and then looking up at Lu Qingyi, Wen Wanyu asked the question with a slight movement of her lips.

Yao Meishu wouldn’t treat Lu Qingyi well and also... Wen Wanyu wanted to know how Lu Qingyi managed to get through these years.

She felt sorry for this girl and resented her own inability to have gotten there sooner. If she had arrived earlier, Lu Qingyi wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.

Gu Yansi was the son of Yao Meishu and Lu Yao. As Yao Meishu treated Lu Jiahao and Lu Jiayue so well, it was only natural that she wouldn’t treat Gu Yansi poorly.

To some people, the difference between a biological child and an unbiological one was indeed significant.

"If her indifference taught me so much, then I suppose I should thank her."

Lu Qingyi gave a small smile, shaking her head. Yes, it had been hard; yes, she had felt wronged; yes, she had felt a longing, but after letting go, Lu Qingyi realized that it was Yao Meishu’s coldness that taught her many things.

Now knowing that Yao Meishu was not her biological mother, Lu Qingyi, at this moment, truly felt nothing toward her.
