Chapter 100: Ye Xin Yao Like a Drowned Dog

“Then you’ll have to let me see what your scar looks like first,” Ye Xin Ran said.

The young girl lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then looked up. “I want to try.”

She spoke as she reached up to untie her veil.

She was indeed beautiful.

Her eyes were large and watery, her nose high and straight. However, from her face to her neck, there was a long, red scar.

It looked like an ugly caterpillar, crawling across the girl’s face.

Ye Xin Ran was startled when she saw the scar.

From the mother’s description, Ye Xin Ran hadn’t expected it to be this severe.

“My face, can it be treated?” The girl clutched her veil, looking very nervous.

“As long as you trust me, I will definitely help you get better.”

Ye Xin Ran placed her hands on the girl’s thin shoulders.

“Do you trust me?”

“Yes!” The girl nodded, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

“However, I do have a request from you,” Ye Xin Ran added.

“Although I can help treat your face, I need you to face others with your current face. I want to let your face recover slowly under everyone’s gaze. Can you handle that?”

“I…” The girl hesitated.

She was afraid of other people’s gazes because when they saw her face, they would point and gossip, calling her ugly.

But this snow-white ointment was so expensive, costing one hundred taels of silver per jar. Her parents could never earn that much money in their entire lifetime.

If she didn’t seize this opportunity now, she would never have another chance.

Thinking of this, the girl resolutely nodded toward Ye Xin Ran.

“I’m not afraid.”

“Good!”

The girl’s scar was the best among all the candidates, considering both the size of the scar and the condition.

After confirming with the girl, Ye Xin Ran took her hand and walked to the front of the crowd.

“Everyone can see for yourselves that this girl’s scar is an old one. It’s large, deep, and among all the scars, it’s the most difficult to heal.”

Immediately, the crowd started discussing among themselves.

“Such a big scar?”

“How ugly!”

“If I had such a big scar, I wouldn’t dare to face anyone!”

“If this can be healed, then mine will be even easier to treat!”

Faced with various doubts, Ye Xin Ran spoke again.

“We will set a limit of one month. After one month, I will definitely restore her a delicate, flawless face.”

“One month and it will be done? That’s too fast!”

“If hers can be cured, I’ll buy some too. A little expensive is fine.”

“This is much cheaper than the Yu Shi Hall’s product!”

“You can’t even buy Yu Shi Hall’s, can you? This stuff can’t be compared to theirs. Dream on!”

…

The girl trembled under the gaze of the crowd.

She wanted to turn and run, but thinking of Ye Xin Ran’s promise, she clenched her palms, forcing herself to stay.

“Let’s call it a day for now.”

“Thank you all for your support and interest in our Xue Yan Ointment. This time, we’ll choose Tao Hua to be our lucky guest.”

“If you’re interested in the effects of Xue Yan Ointment, feel free to visit our shop in the morning after we open to see the progress of Tao Hua’s recovery.”

With that, Ye Xin Ran signaled for Tao Hua to return to the back room with her.

Watching them leave, Li Qiao turned to Li Mo.

“Boss, I don’t know, but this doesn’t feel like a medical clinic anymore.”

“What does it feel like then?”

Li Mo agreed it felt odd.

“It feels like…”

Li Qiao thought for a long moment before slapping his head.

“Like a street performer?”

“Street performer? I think you’re the one who looks like a street performer! This is something worthy of high society!”

After speaking, Li Mo shook his hands and went to the back.

In the back room, Ye Xin Ran applied the ointment to the girl’s face, explaining how to use it while doing so.

After teaching her, Ye Xin Ran reminded her, “During this time, you must come to the shop every morning so everyone can see the changes in your scar.”

“The ointment I give you each day is only enough for one night. You must come back the next day to get the next dose.”

“This will also be our little agreement.”

The girl nodded.

Now, Ye Xin Ran was her savior. Whatever she said, the girl would do.

After sending the girl off, Ye Xin Ran packed her things and prepared to go home.

Li Mo was waiting at the door. As soon as she came out, he approached and said, “Sister-in-law, this method of yours is amazing! Who did you learn it from?”

As the owner of the shop, Li Mo had a roller coaster of emotions that day.

He hadn’t expected Ye Xin Ran to come up with such an idea.

He couldn’t believe she had the guts to do it.

An ointment worth 100 taels of silver, and she just gives it away.

It wasn’t something someone of her background would typically do.

“Learn it? I didn’t really learn it. I guess I was just exposed to it a lot before,” Ye Xin Ran replied, thinking of the ads she had seen in the past.

“But if I want to make a name for it quickly, this is the best method I can think of.”

“Sister-in-law, you’re brilliant! I now think you’re even more capable than Brother Xiao. From now on, you’ll replace him in my heart!”

“Stop flattering me.”

Ye Xin Ran smiled and said, “You all take care of the shop, I’m going to the carpentry shop to pick up the cane.”

“Don’t worry, sister-in-law, I’ll watch the shop closely.”

Li Mo responded smoothly, but then realized:

Wait a minute, I’m the owner of this shop!

Ye Xin Ran went to the largest carpentry shop in the county.

The cane had already been ordered earlier.

Last time, she had also noticed a set of cabinets and today was a good time to finalize the deal with the owner.

While she was checking the quality of the cane, Ye Xin Yao walked in from outside.

Ye Xin Yao’s face looked gloomy as she entered the shop and pulled out a slip of paper from her pocket.

“Waiter, I don’t want the set of boxes anymore. Please cancel the order for me.”

“It’s Miss Ye! That set of boxes has already been made. How can you just say you don’t want it?”

The shopkeeper quickly approached.

“Is it not okay if I don’t want it?”

Ye Xin Yao was very impatient with the shopkeeper’s question.

“If you really don’t want it, I can only refund half of your money,” the shopkeeper said, not bothering to argue further.

“Refund half? Why should I only get half? These boxes are brand new and haven’t even left your store!”

Ye Xin Yao raised her voice.

“Miss Ye, the style and size of the boxes were made according to your preferences. If you keep them, they’re new. If you don’t want them, they’ll be considered second-hand once sold.

These boxes are good, but others might not appreciate them.

Even if I sell them, I’ll have to lower the price.”

“You’re not following the rules!”

Hearing that she might only get half her money back, Ye Xin Yao immediately became anxious.

“Miss Ye, every industry has its own rules.

You can go around and ask anyone to find out if you’re not following the rules or if I’m not following the rules!”

“You…”

Ye Xin Yao didn’t want to make a big scene.

If people found out that the young lady of the Ye family had even sold her dowry boxes, they wouldn’t know how to shame her.

Her chest was filled with frustration, and when she looked up, she saw Ye Xin Ran staring at her with an unmistakable smile on her face.

“Ye Xin Ran, what are you doing here? You can’t even afford the legs of a table here, what right do you have to laugh at me?”

Ye Xin Yao spoke with her usual arrogance.

Before Ye Xin Ran could reply, the shopkeeper quickly stepped in front of Ye Xin Yao, his face full of displeasure.

“Miss Ye, how can you speak to our esteemed customer like that?”
