Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The flower market.
Bai Jing went to almost every shop in search of mutated Orchids, but she could not find anything.
1
Developing a drug to treat Lymphatic Cancer required a large amount of orchid extract. The small amount extracted from Professor Dong’s only plant was far from enough.

“What are you looking for? Mutated Orchids? Seems like you are an expert in recognizing goods! Come and have a look! I have a mutated variety here!”
Just as Bai Jing was about to leave, the head which popped out from the dilapidated fence in the corner, mysteriously attracted customers.
In the simple and crude room, the Boss held out a pot of decent-looking Orchids. Bai Jing’s eyes revealed a hint of joy. Just as she opened her mouth to ask about the price, she saw a figure appear beside her grabbing the flower pot first and said, “I want it!”
“This…”
The boss observed Bai Yue. He saw that the two looked quite similar and was a little confused.
Bai Yue secretly asked around and found out that she could buy mutated Orchids in the market. She planned to give them to Professor Dong to secure a spot as a postgraduate, but she did not expect to see them right away.
She wanted to take out her bank card, but heard Bai Jing say coldly, “I found it first. If you like it, you can find it elsewhere.”
“Have you paid?”
Bai Yue smiled contemptuously and said to the Boss, “I’ll pay double the price she pays!”
The Boss hesitated and pretended to be troubled. “This orchid is really precious and hard to come by. The price is six figures. Please reconsider!”
He was obviously taking the opportunity to raise the price.
Bai Yue did not say anything and paid with her card. “If you don’t have money, don’t try to get things that you don’t deserve!”
She turned her head to look at Bai Jing, who had returned empty-handed, and revealed a smug expression. “You want to pull some strings and use connections to get Professor Dong’s postgraduate spot?”
“Why don’t you take a look at yourself? What do you have to compete with me! As long as it is what you want, I will definitely not let you get what you wish!”
Bai Yue gritted her teeth as she spoke, but Bai Jing felt that her actions were childish and ridiculous. She shook her head and left.
..
The next day, in University A’s Professor Office
Professor Dong looked at the pot of mutated Orchids in front of him. He was so happy that he could not close his mouth.
This was the Orchid that Bai Jing wanted!
Therefore, even though he did not approve of Bai Yue’s various behaviors and morals, he still made an exception and allowed her to be included in the student list.
When they heard this news, the Bai family cheered and jumped with joy. Especially Bai Guangcai, who was ostentatiously showing off how he received some benefits from the many businesses as a down payment for working with Professor Dong.
Qi Mei urged Bai Guangcai to celebrate at the best hotel. After having a good meal, the three of them returned to the villa only to see Bai Chen playing with a mutated Orchid in the living room!
Bai Yue rubbed her eyes and rushed over in disbelief. She snatched the Orchid and asked, “Where did you get it?”
“Dad! I gave this to Professor Dong!”
She turned around emotionally, “I gave it to Professor Dong personally. Why Is it here?”
She had specifically checked this flower pot. There was no way she could be mistaken! There was no other similar flower pot!
“This is mine. Sister asked Chen to take good care of it. I have to water it every day and give it some sunlight.”
“When the Orchid grows, Chen’s illness will be completely cured!”
Bai Chen widened his clear and flawless eyes and wanted to snatch the flower pot. However, Bai Yue was standing so high up that he could only watch helplessly…
He turned his head to look at the second floor and then towards the fierce-looking Bai Yue. He was so afraid that he hiccupped yet still wanted to snatch it. “Give it back to me…”
Bai Yue pushed him away in annoyance and saw him fall to the ground.
“What do you mean by yours? You must have stolen it from Professor Dong! You’re so young, full of lies, and even learn to steal things!”

“You really have no upbringing!”
She scolded him angrily. Qi Mei also pushed Bai Chen in disgust, not treating him as a patient or a relative at all. “Tell me, where did you steal it from? Did Bai Jing steal it? It must be her! You siblings are both bad people!”
“No! You can’t scold Sister!”
Bai Chen’s eyes were full of tears, and his small face was wrinkled with grievances. Tears fell down his cheeks, and his breathing became rapid!
Qi Mei and Bai Yue pinched him and forcing him to tell them where the Orchid came from. Bai Chen dodged, but his arms and shoulders were already bruised. He sobbed in pain and kept calling out for his sister.

Bai Jing, who had just come out of the bathroom, heard the argument and ran to the living room without drying her hair. She picked Bai Chen Up and patted his back gently. She comforted him, “It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. Sister is here.”
“Professor Dong gave me this.”
Bai Jing stared at Bai Jing with a cold face.. She pointed to the flower pot she was holding and said, “Give it back to me.”
