Chapter 703: Coming for Medicine
Ms. Qiu's voice is hardly pleasant; it has a grainy quality, like sand crushed by a stone, hoarse with a hint of decay. It's not particularly sharp, but it's still unpleasant to listen to.
Judging from Madam Qiu's age and the look in the eyes of the person in front of her, her niece is most likely no more than thirty years old.
A girl of this age should never have a voice like that.
With her voice ruined and large areas of scars on her body that needed to be concealed, Ye Wanxi already had a general idea of Miss Qiu's situation.
"What's your preference? Do you like sweet or salty food? Can you handle spicy food? But this restaurant doesn't seem to have any particularly spicy dishes."
Qiu Linshan thought for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth: "It's sweet."
Qiu Linshan does like to eat sweets, but eating too many sweets can easily lead to weight gain and acne.
Before the incident, she had been under strict control for a period of time. After the incident, her physical condition was not suitable for consuming too many sweets, as eating too much would only put a strain on her body.
Therefore, she hasn't had a proper meal of her favorite foods for a long time.
I don't know what came over me today, but after Ye Wanxi asked me that, I suddenly had the idea of "being willful for once." Even if I can't swallow it, it would be good to just hold it in my mouth and taste it.
"It's sweet, and this restaurant happens to have quite a few desserts. Let me see, there's coconut rock sugar bird's nest, papaya stewed with snow frog, and sweet and sour pork with pineapple. It's not a lot, let's order one of each and try them out."
"……Um."
Mrs. Qiu listened from the side, opened her mouth as if to remind Qiu Linshan that these dishes were not suitable for her to eat.
But the words stuck in his throat.
Oh well, it's rare for us to come out, and it's rare for the kids to want something to eat, so it should be fine to indulge them a little.
For some reason, Madam Qiu felt that apart from their first meeting, her niece seemed unusually calm when facing Ye Wanxi.
It's worth noting that even her brother, sister-in-law, and nephew took a long time to be able to have a peaceful conversation with Qiu Linshan after her incident.
And occasionally, for no apparent reason, something goes wrong with Qiu Linshan, which still leads to some conflicts.
This was the first time the two had met, and the result was beyond Madam Qiu's expectations, which also filled her with some unspoken hopes.
The food was ordered quickly, and since there was still some time to wait, it gave the group a chance to talk.
Seeing that no one spoke, Ye Wanxi glanced between the two elders and said with a faint smile, "I heard from Auntie that Aunt Qiu is very curious about me, which is why she brought Miss Qiu to see me today."
Madam Qiu smiled and quickly said, "I often hear your aunt talk about you. She says you're good-looking, have a good temper, and are very considerate and filial. She praises you to the skies. How could I not be curious?"
Ye Wanxi blinked, suddenly remembering that her senior brother had mentioned before that every time Madam Feng received a gift from her, she would call her friends and invite a group of girlfriends to show it off in public.
Ye Wanxi didn't know before, and it was one thing not to meet the person in question, but now that Qiu's mother said this, it was practically like a public execution!
Her face immediately turned bright red: "It's because Auntie is so kind that she thinks I'm good in every way."
"Are you shy?" Sitting next to Ye Wanxi, Madam Feng listened to Madam Qiu recount her glorious achievements without a hint of exaggeration, and said confidently, "Auntie is telling the truth, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
Madam Qiu clearly understood her daughter's temperament well, and laughed heartily, "Your aunt is right, she's telling the truth, you don't need to be embarrassed. You are indeed a good girl, and you are a good match for Tianyu."
Mrs. Qiu paused for a moment, then said, "It's a little embarrassing to say, but we've come here today to ask you for a favor."
"You say."
"Didn't you recently give your aunt a box of facial mud masks? I heard her say that the mud masks are very effective. After using them, her skin improved, her complexion became better, and even some of the scars on her body faded."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi roughly understood the purpose of Madam Qiu and her companion's visit.
"As you can see, Linshan had an accident years ago and suffered severe burns, leaving scars in many places. That's not all; the scars on her body keep getting better and worse, and it's been years since they were truly healed."
“Having a scar is one thing, but the pain from the wound is what’s truly torturous. A few days ago, after listening to your aunt, I took it upon myself to get some of the medicinal mud you gave her to take back to Linshan, and it actually worked wonders.”
The remarkable effect wasn't that it faded the scars, but rather that after applying the medicated mud, Qiu Linshan experienced some relief from the pain in the affected areas.
Although the effect didn't last long, at least with the medicated mud applied, she could get a good night's sleep without itching or pain.
Unlike countless nights before, when I would be awakened by pain all over my body, feeling like I was dying and unable to fall asleep.
As Ye Wanxi listened to Madam Qiu's explanation, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she finally remembered where she had heard this name before.
Qiu Linshan, strictly speaking, is related to Wen Yuan.
When Wen Yuan was in the entertainment industry, she was quite popular and was considered a pillar of her company.
However, the entertainment industry changes rapidly, and everyone knows that nothing lasts forever. No one can enjoy the benefits of being in the industry forever.
Therefore, no matter how many artists the company has, it will still recruit fresh talent to ensure that there are rising stars to take over and lead the way in every age group.
Qiu Linshan happened to be the newcomer selected by Wen Yuan's agency to succeed Wen Yuan.
At that time, Wen Yuan had just started her first marriage and prioritized her family, gradually putting her career in the entertainment industry aside.
Qiu Linshan's agent seized the opportunity to secure a lot of resources for her. Qiu Linshan also lived up to expectations, with both her looks and abilities being top-notch. Her popularity steadily increased, and she was beginning to show signs of becoming a top star.
But at that moment, an accident occurred.
It is said that Qiu Linshan took on an action film at the time, and if the film was well made, she would be able to successfully transform her career.
There are some explosion scenes in this film, which are inherently dangerous, so the crew is always extra careful when filming.
No matter how careful you are, accidents can still happen.
Qiu Linshan had an accident while filming this explosion scene. She was trapped in the fire and was unable to escape in time. She suffered burns to 50% to 60% of her body and almost lost her life on the spot.
After several days and nights of emergency treatment, she was fortunate enough to survive, but the severe burns completely ended Qiu Linshan's acting career.
This successor to Wen Yuan passed away before Wen Yuan could completely retire.
Ye Wanxi felt a little sad when Gao Min told her about it, but she didn't expect that she would run into the person in question so soon.
It is evident that the connections between people are truly wondrous.
