The Lucky Heiress

Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Caught by Wei Ruo_1

Wei Qingwan felt a sense of urgency. She wanted to meet the elusive Xu Heyou, not Dr. Xu from the Zhenyutang clinic!

Wei Qingwan quickly left the crowd and rushed to the clinic entrance.

“Miss, be careful not to trip,” Cuihe hurriedly followed.

“The shift was just changed, Dr. Xu should not be far away!” Wei Qingwan was trying to enter, but was stopped by the burly man at the door.

“Young lady, if you want to see a doctor, please join the line,” the man said with a serious face.

“I’m looking for someone, could you please make an exception for me?”

“No, outsiders are not allowed to enter.”

“I really need to see Dr. Xu urgently,” Wei Qingwan emphasized.

“If you want to see Dr. Xu, join the line tomorrow.”

The man remained unmoved.

Wei Qingwan argued with the man for quite some time, but he still refused to let her in. She could only wait at the entrance.

Just then, the curtain lifted, and out came Wei Ruo, dressed as a woman.

The moment Wei Qingwan saw Wei Ruo, she was stunned. What was she doing here?

When Wei Ruo saw Wei Qingwan, she was equally surprised, especially seeing her attire…

After finishing her charitable consultations as Xu Heyou, Wei Ruo had changed back into women’s clothing in a small room inside the clinic, a room she had set up specifically for quick changes.

She did not expect to run into Wei Qingwan as soon as she walked out the door.

Wei Qingwan, who was still dressed as a servant from the Wei Household.

Unless it was extremely important, Wei Qingwan wouldn’t have dressed up like this and made herself look so disheveled, right?

Wei Qingwan snapped back to reality and hurriedly hid her face.

But it was too late. Wei Ruo had already clearly seen her appearance and quickly grabbed her as she tried to escape.

“Wei Qingwan, what’s with this getup?” Wei Ruo asked with interest.

“Let go of me!” Wei Qingwan tried to break free from Wei Ruo.

But she was not as strong as Wei Ruo, and after struggling several times, she was unsuccessful.

Wei Ruo chuckled. “Why, you, a noble lady, are pretending to be a poor person for a charity consultation? Wei Qingwan, you’re really shameful.”

“Wei Qingruo, shut up. Are you trying to let everyone hear?”

“Yeah, wouldn’t it be bad if everyone heard? If you’re going to do this, why are you afraid of people finding out?”

“If you harm my reputation, you will be implicated as well! Why would you want to harm others without benefiting yourself?”

“Have there been few times when your reputation was damaged? Besides, why should I be concerned about my reputation being damaged?” Wei Ruo retorted.

Wei Qingwan’s face turned the color of a pig’s liver.

Seeing that her lady could not break free, Cuihe panicked and rushed over to push Wei Ruo.

But not only did Wei Qingwan bring someone with her, so did Wei Ruo. Xiumei was following her.

Xiumei was no pushover, and as soon as she saw Cuihe take action, she immediately stepped forward to pull Cuihe away.

Xiumei was able to easily pick Cuihe up with one hand.

Cuihe was so desperate, she wanted to shout, but did not dare to.

Due to the commotion caused by the four of them, more and more curious gazes were cast their way.

Seeing that the situation was about to get worse, Wei Qingwan, flushed with shame and anger, said, “Wei Qingruo, we mind our own business. What I do here today has nothing to do with you. Why are you picking on me?”

“Really? When you need help, we mind our own business? I remember it wasn’t long ago that you were talking about not letting me off the hook. Am I wrong?”

Wei Ruo curved her lips, then leisurely enjoyed Wei Qingwan’s frantic state.

“Wei Qingruo, what do you want?” Wei Qingwan’s eyes were red with anxiety.

Wei Ruo looked leisurely at Wei Qingwan, “How about you tell me why you dressed up like this to come to the clinic today? If your reason is convincing, I might be willing to let you go.”

“I… I came to help,” Wei Qingwan explained.

“Help?” Wei Ruo raised an eyebrow, not believing her response.

“Am I not allowed to care for the people? Am I not allowed to help the victims of disasters? I am also a daughter of the Wei Family, I want to do my part to help the people that father sacrificed his life to protect!”

“Why would you need to dress like this if you wanted to help disaster victims?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Didn’t sister also change into coarse cloth clothes for convenience when she went to clear the field? Why can’t I change clothes to help disaster victims? The people who come to the clinic for porridge and medical treatment are all poor, is it appropriate for me to come in fine clothes to help?” Wei Qingwan counter-questioned.

Wei Qingwan got her wits about her at this moment. She had been a bit nervous when she unexpectedly ran into Wei Qingruo just now, which made her forget about the excuse she had prepared before she came.

Then Wei Qingwan turns from passive to active, questioning Wei Ruo, “And what are you doing here? Are you dressed up to show the suffering people how luxurious your life is?”

“I don’t have to explain my matters to you,” Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Qingwan looked perturbed. Wei Qingruo said she didn’t need to explain herself to her, yet she demanded that she explain why she was here!

Wei Qingwan was unhappy but could only bear with it. Unlike Wei Qingruo, who doesn’t care about causing a scene or damaging her reputation, she sure did.

“I already explained to you. Can you let go of me now?” Wei Qingwan asked.

“Okay, I’ll let you go.”

Wei Ruo let go of her and then elegantly left the clinic with Xiumei.

After walking some distance, Xiumei burst out laughing. Seeing the second young lady being at a disadvantage just now was quite satisfying!

Xiumei giggled and asked Wei Ruo, “Miss, what do you think the second young lady is here for?”

“I guess she’s here for Xu Heyou.”

“Huh? She was looking for Xu Heyou? Could it be…for the Scar Removal Ointment?”

“Most likely. Didn’t she ask quite a few questions about Xu Heyou from the Tongde Hall people when she sent Maid Li to buy the scar removal ointment for the second time? She’s probably been trying to meet Xu Heyou all along, but she hasn’t had the opportunity, and a charity clinic by Xu Heyou just gave her that opportunity.”

“But this is a charity clinic for the poor. The second young lady, how could she…”

“Maybe to her, the scars on her back are stumbling blocks to her future plans of getting favor, something she must get rid of, something of utmost importance to her right now. If that’s the case, what’s a little loss of face to her?”

“I couldn’t do that. I’d rather find my own way and make money!” Xiumei grumbled.

“That’s you, she doesn’t have a way to make money,” Wei Ruo said.

Xiumei had been living with her since she was little, so she had ingrained in her mind the idea that women can also make money and be independent.

But not Wei Qingwan. She would not have such thoughts.

“That’s true.” Xiumei nodded, then sighed, “I remembered that the scar removal ointment was often given away by the young lady in the past. I didn’t expect that this unimportant matter to you, young lady, would be a big deal to the second young lady.”
