Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman by  - chapter 98 - Green Comes From Blue (青出于蓝) [1]

Cao Xing smiled and gave Qiao Hongye a mocking look. He really wanted to know what kinds of stories she could come up with.

“Aren’t you the least bit curious about why I didn’t go home and, instead, come to stay in this hotel? It’s actually all because of Jing Yunzhao! She somehow dug up two wild ginsengs up in the mountains, and my dad said that he had even seen it with his own eyes. It would be worth several million at least. Also, Jing Yunzhao even spent twenty thousand yuan on a broken vase in town. You can ask around town and you’ll know. Right now, my dad wants me to find out exactly where she’s staying, he probably wants to snatch back the money…” Qiao Hongye explained in a rush. She just knew Cao Xing would not be able to resist this temptation.

As expected, after hearing this news, Cao Xing was shocked but at the same time he could not help but reveal his greed, “This Jing Yunzhao actually has such huge **** luck?”

Since when was ginseng something that could be so easily dug up? Ning Town had so many people who relied on the mountain to feed themselves, yet not one person had actually found any kind of treasure.

“I know, right?! Cao-ge, you lack money right now and my dad tasked me to investigate Jing Yunzhao, so we should work together.” Qiao Hongye conveniently suggested, then continued, “I can find out where Jing Yunzhao is staying, and when there’s no one home, you can break in. We will split 50-50 if it succeeds.”

“Qiao-mei-mei (little sister), you’ve gotten more shrewd. Without having to exert any effort, you can still receive benefits, even adding your dad into the equation,” Cao Xing spoke in a mock-serious tone.

(T/N: Ava the editor says that mock-serious is a word so *shrugs*)

Qiao Hongye’s lips puckered into a smile, “You know how my dad is. Even if he took all of Jing Yunzhao’s things, he would never be willing to pay the few tens of thousands required to send me to the city for dance lessons.”

In her heart, Qiao Hongye was extremely clear that her father was only doing this to give her an incentive. Once he received the item, he would probably say that he was saving the money for her dowry. At most he would only give her a few hundred yuan to buy clothes.

Compared to that, why not just join hands with Cao Xing? By the time her dad found someone to do it, everything would be too late. If he couldn’t find anything, he couldn’t blame her and would only redirect the rage onto Jing Yunzhao.

Cao Xing took out a cigarette and took a few puffs. Through the smoke, he observed the girl in front of him who was in the prime of her youth. Yet, he felt himself shudder in fear for some reason.

This daughter indeed took after her father more. Qiao Hongye and Qiao Weimin’s personalities were completely alike, one could even say green comes from blue.

(T/N: It’s basically saying like father like son (daughter), chinese idioms are hard to translate)

Initially, Cao Xing still had a tiny bit of ill thoughts for her. After all, he had liked Qiao Hongye since a long time ago, otherwise, he would not have helped her time after time. Right now, they were a man and a woman sharing a room together, chances like this was rare. But after seeing this side of Qiao Hongye, Cao Xing only felt whatever desires he had had, had all extinguished. He definitely did not want Qiao Hongye to do something as means of revenge to him after he returned from stealing the ginseng.

Two people and a night, it surprisingly turned out uneventful.

(E/N: I wonder why ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )

On the morning of the second day, a girl wearing a mask and cap pretending to be doing her morning exercises appeared to be taking a stroll along the small avenue.

Jing Yunzhao would always head to the strange old man’s place (Old Man Xu’s place) every Saturday to sell her medicinal herbs.

But just as she was going downstairs, she suddenly felt a peculiar gaze.

She was currently someone who practiced martial arts after all. Even though she wasn’t that skilled, but as a practitioner, she was more sensitive to such things. It was difficult to ignore such gazes.

She turned her head and looked over, but only saw that the other party had stopped looking at her and had turned their back away from her. The person was wearing a black coat, their whole body wrapped up in seriousness. They looked as if they were doing their morning exercise, but with the way they were dressed and those light and weak footsteps, there was obviously something wrong with their actions.

Moreover, the figure looked extremely familiar.

A figure flashed through Jing Yunzhao’s mind and she suddenly smiled. A laugh raised up within her, before she turned back and pretended as if she hadn’t found anything abnormal.

Behind her, Qiao Hongye let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, hints of excitement were revealed in her eyes. Staring at the building, she brought her eyes up and saw Su Chu who was hanging the clothes out to dry. Her heart jumped in surprise, she was extremely nervous!
