As soon as Ye Shu’s cold voice fell, Ye Shuang’s eyes widened. She looked at Ye Shu and her heart burned. She subconsciously gritted her teeth and sneered.

“Who are you to chase me away?”

The crowd finally reacted and exploded with indignation. They pointed at Ye Shu and their eyes were filled with anger and blame as if they had a feud with her! They spat at her and their sharp eyes were like knives were about to hack Ye Shu into pieces!

“Ye Shu, I advise you not to go too far!”

“That’s right. No matter what, she’s still your eldest sister, yet you’re using your status to bully her. How shameless!”

“I think she’s just making a big fuss out of nothing. Do you think a lowly person who serves people with lust can really be a shopkeeper? What kind of status does Miss Ye Shuang have? She’s someone who has a chance of becoming a second-grade alchemist disciple of the Alchemist Guild this year. How can Ye Shu chase her away just like that? Simply laughable!”

The discussion got louder and louder. Yuan Chen snapped out of his shock. His dark eyes were filled with anger. He flew to Ye Shuang and protected her. He looked at Ye Shu coldly. “You really disappoint me. A filthy woman like you is not fit to be Shuang-er’s sister!”

Ye Shu chuckled lightly. “Your Highness must be mistaken. I’ve severed all ties with the Ye family long ago, and I have nothing to do with her. As for this filthy…”

Her beautiful eyes were very lively. Hearing everyone’s sarcastic tone, the lips under the veil suddenly curled up.

Then, she turned around and smiled at Manager Li. “Manager, I’m the one holding the fort today, right?”

Manager Li didn’t expect her to behave like this either. He was slightly taken aback by her words and nodded respectfully.

“That’s right. This is Miss Ye Shu’s home ground. You are in charge of everything.”

Ye Shu looked at Yuan Chen with a smile and said in a clear voice, “Did you hear that? Your Highness, since you are experienced and knowledgeable, you should know what it means to be in charge of the situation. I don’t welcome Miss Ye Shuang today, so she has to leave.” Her rogue tone made Yuan Chen’s face darken. He choked and glared at Ye Shu!

“You!”

Ye Shuang smiled gently as a sinister look flashed past her eyes. This Medicine Concocting Convention was not child’s play. If she was really chased away, it would affect her future!

“Shu-er, don’t cause trouble. This Medicine Concocting Convention is very important to me.”

Ye Shuang’s eyes were watery and she looked pitiful. “Do you have something that you can’t say? Why must you chase your eldest sister away?”

“There’s nothing to hide. I just don’t like you.”

Ye Shu looked up impatiently and raised the corner of her eyes slightly in a domineering way. Her voice was faint. “Are you going to leave by yourself, or should I chase you away?”

No matter how gentle Ye Shuang’s expression was, she couldn’t take it anymore. Her smile froze and she did not know what to do. She wished she could hack Ye Shu into pieces. When did this useless thing become so aggressive?

The two of them stood on the stage. One of them looked imposing while the other looked pitiful. Everyone could not help but feel indignant. However, they gritted their teeth and looked at Ye Shu in anger, not daring to speak. Their eyes were filled with disgust. Ye Shu was just a good-for-nothing who had latched onto Manager Li. What was there to be proud of? To put it bluntly, she was still a good-for-nothing!

“Ye Shu, don’t go overboard!” Yuan Chen stood in front of her, his eyes cold. His dark eyes were filled with anger. “You’re afraid that Shuang-er will steal your limelight. This is why you’re in such a hurry to chase her out, right?”

“She’s far from qualified.” Ye Shu laughed. Although she did not express her contempt, the arrogance in her tone made everyone laugh.

How arrogant and ignorant!

Manager Li listened quietly at the side and shook his head in his heart when he heard this. Indeed, he was still young.

Afraid that Lady Ye Shuang would steal the limelight?

Miss Ye’s talent in refining medicine was rare and at least one in a million. Just the medicinal liquid she casually took out was extraordinary.

These people were truly blind.

Manager Li turned his head and looked at Ye Shu thoughtfully. Ye Shu had a faint smile on her face and her temperament was like an orchid. However, she could not hide her blazing sun-like radiance, which made Manager Li admire her.

Her temperament was not something that others could compare to. No wonder the boss thought so highly of her.

Ye Shuang’s eyes lit up. She could use this opportunity to make Ye Shu look bad in front of everyone. Perhaps she could even gain Manager Li’s favor. As she thought about this, she lowered her eyes and sobbed.

“Little sister, I know you don’t like me, but I beg you, this opportunity is really important to me. I know you aren’t good at refining medicine, so I shouldn’t mention your sore spot. It would be wrong if this matter caused a rift between us.”

“You also know that your parents don’t have much talent, so it’s only natural for you to want to soar. It’s just that it’s difficult to change the fate of the heavens. Your fate is like this…”

Upon hearing Ye Shuang mention her parents, Ye Shu’s smiling eyes paused slightly as a cold glint flashed across them.

She sobbed and said, “Shu-er, won’t you give me this chance…”

“Sure..”
