Chapter 130: Qin Yun Shu, do you think you are worthy of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume?

~8 min read 1,404 words

Cheng Wan and Qin Yun Shu completed their works at almost the same time.

The trays were placed before Elder Fang.

He smelled them one by one, but instead of announcing the answer immediately, he randomly invited ten people up to evaluate them together.

After everyone had smelled them, Elder Fang asked them to stand on the side they supported.

In three seconds, everyone chose to stand on Cheng Wan's side.

Whether it was "Winter Solstice" or "Moonlight," Qin Yun Shu was left all alone.

She dug her nails into her palms, unable to believe it.

"Impossible."

She would not accept such a result.

She stepped forward, picked up the perfume Cheng Wan had blended, and held it to her nose to smell.

The next second, the bottle in her hand fell to the ground.

It shattered everywhere.

With a pale face, she stumbled backward.

How could it be possible? How could Cheng Wan possibly blend such high-quality perfume?

Winter Solstice was a clear, ethereal snow scent.

And Moonlight was a simple, elegant, and cold scent.

She didn't even dare to smell the perfume she had blended herself again.

Fang Yiwen announced that Cheng Wan had won.

No one questioned Cheng Wan's ability as a Perfumer anymore.

Qin Yun Shu was embarrassed and forced a smile, "My skills are inferior to yours. Congratulations."

She turned to leave.

"Wait." Cheng Wan called out to her.

Qin Yun Shu had already guessed what would happen next; she didn't want to stay here, but after only two steps, she was blocked by Wen Lvzhong.

Behind her, Cheng Wan's voice was exceptionally cold.

"Qin Yun Shu, do you think you are worthy of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume?"

When Cheng Wan said this, her tone was cold and harsh.

Ever since she learned that the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume had been credited to Qin Yun Shu's name, she had been unable to sleep at night.

But she had no opportunity to seek justice.

She could only wait day after day.

Fortunately, she had finally waited for this day.

Cheng Wan walked slowly and firmly, step by step, to Qin Yun Shu, her eyes like knives, wishing she could tear Qin Yun Shu to pieces.

"Qin Yun Shu, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume is the work of Qin Xingwan; by what right is it credited to your name?"

"When she was alive, you never visited her, never called her sister once; what face do you have to claim the perfume she blended as your own?"

"I..." Qin Yun Shu could not speak.

She was as miserable now as she had been smug before.

But Cheng Wan had no right to question her.

Qin Yun Shu's eyes turned red, and she no longer thought about leaving.

She faced Cheng Wan, tit-for-tat, "Aren't you also using her identity and perfume formulas to show off? What right do you have to question me?"

Cheng Wan was no good person either.

Cheng Wan sneered contemptuously, "So what? Hasn't the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume always belonged to Qin Xingwan?"

When she released the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume, she used the name Qin Xingwan.

Later, she never thought about changing the creator of the perfume to Cheng Wan.

Qin Yun Shu gritted her teeth.

She had lost all face.

"You can't even blend Winter Solstice, Miss Qin; are you even worthy of being called a Perfumer?" Cheng Wan sneered, presenting the perfume blended by Qin Xingwan on the table to the onlookers.

"Why don't we ask everyone to smell the perfume you blended and see which one is worthy of Xingwan's Twenty-Four Solar Terms."

The Winter Solstice that Qin Yun Shu blended was not bad, but it couldn't be said to be very good either.

It was mediocre.

It was not worthy of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms.

Qin Yun Shu was extremely ashamed and angry; she pushed Wen Lvzhong aside and ran out.

Chu Li took a deep look at Cheng Wan, then turned and followed her out.

Cheng Wan saw it, but she no longer cared.

Elder Fang stood up, feeling very gratified.

Wen Suxue had a successor.

Although Cheng Wan was already Wen Suxue's disciple, Wen Suxue had already passed away.

It was acceptable to take on Cheng Wan as a disciple.

Cheng Wan offered tea, formally becoming a disciple.

When everything had settled, she and Wen Lvzhong left the hotel.

At the entrance, Chu Li leaned against the car, his face cast in shadow, his emotions unreadable.

Wen Lvzhong said calmly, "Do you need me to take you back?"

Cheng Wan refused.

She and Chu Li were currently entangled, so it would not be good to drag Wen Lvzhong into this as well.

Wen Lvzhong nodded and left on his own.

Cheng Wan went to the side of the car.

The autumn wind carried a chill, swirling around the two of them.

Chu Li looked at her, his lips curling into a sarcastic smile. "Congratulations, you got what you wanted."

Once tonight passes, Qin Yun Shu will be thoroughly reduced to a laughingstock.

The Chu Group, including him, will all have to endure the onslaught of public opinion.

Cheng Wan's habitually indifferent face was exceptionally calm; she could hear the anger hidden within Chu Li.

He was blaming her.

"The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume never belonged to Qin Yun Shu." She stated the facts, her voice indifferent and cold. "You knew full well how the Qin Family treated Xingwan, yet you still did that. Chu Li, you have no face either."

Things having reached this point, she might as well say everything that needed to be said.

Chu Li laughed in anger. "Cheng Wan, in your eyes, does everything have to be divided into right and wrong?"

"Do you have any idea how much of an impact tonight's events will have on the marriage alliance?"

He had worked hard to facilitate the marriage alliance to fulfill Qin Yun Shu's wish.

He wanted to resolve everything and grow old together with her, Cheng Wan.

But Cheng Wan insisted on doing the opposite.

She wanted to sabotage the marriage alliance.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Cheng Wan's voice was cold and clear. "I only know that what you owe Qin Yun Shu should not be repaid by Xingwan, nor should it be repaid by me."

"Get in the car."

Chu Li gritted his teeth, but had nothing to say.

The matter had already happened, and he had many things to deal with.

Cheng Wan was sent back to Beicheng Villa.

Chu Li left straight away.

In less than two hours, the matter had already fermented online.

Although there was no surveillance, someone had recorded a complete video.

The video displayed exactly how incompetent Qin Yun Shu was.

Correspondingly, the topic "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume belongs to Qin Xingwan" hit the trending list.

Public opinion was coming on aggressively.

Cheng Wan had no interest in watching it; she took a shower and went to sleep.

The next morning, she went downstairs and saw Madam Chu.

Madam Chu was extremely angry.

"Cheng Wan, what exactly are you doing?" she questioned sharply. "Do you have any idea how much face the Chu Family has lost because of you?"

It could have been a big issue turned small and a small issue turned into nothing, but Cheng Wan insisted on taking it online to make a spectacle of herself.

Cheng Wan stood at the stairs. "You are not welcome here."

She still had lingering fears about Madam Chu suddenly pushing A Ling, which caused A Ling to miscarry.

There was no guarantee that she wouldn't do the same thing to make Chu Li give up.

Madam Chu was truly ruthless.

"I only exposed the truth," she said calmly. "If you want to eat breakfast, you can have the kitchen prepare it. If you aren't eating, please leave here."

Madam Chu was furious. "You are driving me away? You..."

"Not eating? Then please head out."

Four servants stood together beside Madam Chu, looking very much like they were about to throw her out.

Madam Chu had never received such humiliating treatment.

She was trembling with rage. "This is my son's home; you are the one who should get lost."

"Fine." Cheng Wan nodded immediately and walked toward the exit.

But she was blocked by the servants.

"Miss Cheng, the master said you cannot leave here."
