Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 427 - 282 Mysterious Professor Returning from Overseas

Xia Ye expressionlessly took the cage from the duty student’s hands.

She seemed to have no intention of challenging anyone.

Really clingy.

She was just casually treating the lab rat, yet Shen Zhiqiao insisted on turning it into a competition.

Her lack of competitive response was undoubtedly a blow to Shen Zhiqiao.

Shen Zhiqiao blocked her way directly, "The lab rats in our laboratory were injected with the same dose of compound medicine, which makes for a fair test. I won’t bully you, and if we can save them, isn’t that also a good deed?"

Huang Yan looked at Shen Zhiqiao with a tone different from his earlier indifference, "You know medicine too?"

Shen Zhiqiao tugged at the corner of her lip, "Of course."

At the Life Sciences Institute, a researcher’s job includes developing medicines and medical devices, but that doesn’t exactly equate to treating and healing diseases.

The researchers here possess a lot of cutting-edge knowledge, but that doesn’t mean they can practice medicine.

Besides, the compound medicine injected into the lab rats was not easy to treat.

However, as Shen Zhiqiao had been preparing for Beijing University’s Department of Biomedical Sciences since middle school, her brother had hired her a professional Western medicine teacher.

She had systematically studied for several years and knew quite a bit in this area.

She just never talked about it.

Shen Zhiqiao looked at Xia Ye challengingly, "Junior, you are not afraid to compete, are you? I heard you have many bottles and jars over there. Don’t you have something suitable for the lab rat?" freeweɓnøvel.com

Her naive bravery successfully caught Xia Ye’s attention.

Xia Ye leaned against the door, looked at her, and slightly raised her eyebrows, "Okay, I’ll play along."

In no time, quite a few people gathered around; a competition between prospective students was rare, and even researchers were seeing this for the first time.

The researchers were young people, often engaged in serious experiments. Such an event was deemed interesting.

To ensure fairness, Huang Yan also brought the lab rat from Shen Zhiqiao’s laboratory.

The two lab rats were compared side by side: they were listless, disoriented, weak and limp, with dilated pupils, reacting weakly to light, occasionally twitching upwards.

Indeed, their condition was about the same.

Seeing that Xia Ye displayed no stress, Shen Zhiqiao said disdainfully and dominantly, "Let’s set the treatment period to one week, and after a week, we will determine the winner based on the health condition of the specimens. Of course, if one side’s specimen dies during the treatment, that side automatically loses."

But Xia Ye thought this was a bit boring, and she lazily yawned, "Since we are going to see who wins, let’s bet on something."

"A gamble?" As the pampered daughter of the Shen Family, Shen Zhiqiao had never encountered this concept in her life, but to prevent others from thinking she was afraid, she said impatiently, "whatever you want."

Xia Ye’s concocting medicines was something she partially heard from Yang Qiange.

Recalling how Yang Qiange described Xia Ye’s childish pretend medication bottles, she scoffed with disdain.

Lately, she’d heard Aunt Liu from the Jiang Family bragging everywhere that she became pregnant after taking Xia Ye’s medicine.

She really couldn’t understand her thinking; as the Jiang Family’s matriarch, how could she believe in such traditional remedies?

Whether or not one could get pregnant has a lot to do with one’s mental state; it’s quite normal to conceive once relaxed. Yet Aunt Liu attributed all the credit to Xia Ye.

It made many wealthy wives in Capital City want her medicine.

With that in mind, Shen Zhiqiao sneered slightly, "Let’s not bet on anything else. If you lose, you must never sell your unofficial remedies in Capital City!"

She lacked neither money nor fame, and she thought this was a good bet.

At least it would rid the local elite of a nuisance.

Xia Ye’s fellow researchers, who disliked her arrogant demeanor, said, "Junior sister, you should also say what you’ll do if you lose."

Shen Zhiqiao found them quite amusing, "Is that necessary?"

Could she lose?

Huang Yan impartially added, "Since it’s agreed to be a competition, terms must be clearly stated by both sides."

Shen Zhiqiao was unafraid, "Let her decide. I’m good with anything."

Xia Ye looked at her, seeing a resemblance to Shen Zhixi in her demeanor, her eyes thoughtful.

Was it her imagination?

It seemed like she felt some familiarity in those facial features.

"Junior sister, why aren’t you speaking? You were the one who suggested making a bet, now you’re too scared to agree?" Shen Zhiqiao frowned.

Xia Ye smiled politely, "Sorry, I just zoned out. Where were we?"
