Jiang Nuan looked at him, her face also grim, and said in a low tone, "The old madam has no will to live."
"Hmph! Is it that the old madam has no will to live? Or do you lack the genuine ability to save her?" a sarcastic, aged voice came from outside the door.
Jiang Nuan glanced towards the door and saw Lu ChengZai entering with Elder Wu and his apprentice.
Elder Wu looked at her with a mocking expression.
Jiang Nuan had always disdained to argue with such competitive people, but Elder Wu's medical ethics made her very angry.
It was a debased and unethical behavior, and she would not stand by idly.
She didn't know how many people had died at his hands over the years for the sake of accumulating wealth.
"Elder Wu, please don't argue with a junior. Please check on my mother first. She has been unconscious for three days and three nights," Lu ChengZai said, looking heartbrokenly at his mother on the bed. As long as his mother was here, Lu ChengSi would not dare to split them up. If the family divided, they would be nothing. His mother must live.
Jiang Nuan also didn't speak. She wanted to see how he would disregard human lives.
Lu ChengSi looked at his second brother and said, "Second Brother, this is..."
"ChengSi, this is Elder Wu, a leading figure in the medical field. I spent a fortune to invite Elder Wu from Jinshi."
Lu ChengSi narrowed his eyes and looked at Elder Wu. How could a highly respected leader in the medical field say such words just now?
Lu ChengSi remained silent as Elder Wu took his mother's pulse.
After a few minutes, Elder Wu released the old madam's hand and said to Lu ChengSi with a smile, "Chairman Lu, you don't need to worry too much. I have a medicine here. After the old madam takes it, she will wake up immediately. However, her body will be much weaker afterward."
"Elder Wu, you truly are a leading figure in the medical field. Doctors in Modu were helpless with my mother's illness, and I didn't expect you could make my mother wake up with just a pill. I am truly grateful, Elder Wu," Lu ChengZai said with tearful gratitude. His mother would surely remember this contribution.
Elder Wu winked at Jia Bin, who understood and walked over with the medicine box.
As he passed Jiang Nuan, he gave her a provocative glance.
Jiang Nuan glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
Rong Yin saw that Jiang Nuan was silent, and there was no emotion in her beautiful eyes, but he could still feel that Jiang Nuan had a backup plan.
After all, this woman had always been as deep as water, and such people were the most terrifying, just like him, deep and cunning. Actually, thinking about it, he, Mu JiuChen, and Jiang Nuan were all of the same kind.
That was why they attracted each other.
Even knowing she had three children, he still liked her.
Everyone was excited to see that Elder Wu said there was a cure, and even Lu ChengSi's prejudice against Elder Wu disappeared.
Excitedly, they watched Jia Bin take out a beautiful jade bottle from the medicine box and hand it to Elder Wu. Elder Wu carefully took it, opened it, and a faint fragrance permeated the room.
Lu ChengZai was very excited and said fawningly, "This fragrance, it smells as comfortable as a top-grade immortal pill."
Rong Yin found this remark amusing and squinted at Lu ChengZai, "Second Master Lu, have you smelled a top-grade immortal pill?"
Lu ChengSi's face turned pale, and he turned to look at Rong Yin. If it were anyone else, he would have already roared.
But the person in front of him was the third young master of the Rong family, and the most difficult one to deal with.
He said with a forced smile, "Third Young Master, but this faint fragrance is rare in the world."
Elder Wu's heart swelled with pride upon hearing these flattering words. Every time he brought out these top-grade pills, these mortals behaved so foolishly.
"Third Young Master, you wouldn't know about this. This is a pill refined from very precious medicinal materials, which is why it has such a fragrance," he said, now only wanting to foster a good relationship with Rong Yin.
As long as he could gain the appreciation of these wealthy people, he would soar in the medical field.
"Hmph..." Rong Yin let out a disdainful snort, completely unimpressed by Elder Wu's medicine.
Hearing this cold snort, Elder Wu's expression suddenly turned grim. What an ignorant brat, besides having money to support him, he was nothing.
Elder Wu looked at the family head, Lu ChengSi, "Chairman, this pill is very expensive. Before taking it, I must inform you that it costs one million per pill, and the old madam needs five pills."
Lu ChengSi said without hesitation, "Alright! It's no problem!"
Jiang Nuan: "!!" Damn it, money is so easy to cheat people out of. If I were unscrupulous, I would have become a billionaire by now.
Elder Wu then held the pill, about to feed it to the old madam. As the medicine neared the old madam's mouth, a clear voice suddenly came from behind.
"Wait!"
Jia Bin looked at Jiang Nuan and angrily said, "Jiang Nuan, you wretched woman, shut up! How can you be involved everywhere you go? Do you know where this is? How dare you speak so casually? This is the Lu family."
"If you don't want to die, get out. If you delay saving the old madam's life, can you bear the consequences?"
Jiang Nuan slowly walked over and looked at Jia Bin. "Slap..." She slapped Jia Bin hard across the face.
Jia Bin: "..."
Everyone: "..."
It took Jia Bin a while to realize he had been hit.
He, actually hit by this cheap woman.
"You little slut, I'll fight you." Jia Bin was determined to get the Lu family's fortune this time, and he would never let Jiang Nuan ruin his plans.
He rushed towards Jiang Nuan. Jiang Nuan stood her ground motionlessly. She wore the gem necklace Mu JiuChen had given her, which sparkled brilliantly under the light, accentuating her cold, stern gaze. A wave of icy aura seemed to spread around her.
She looked at Jia Bin's expression as if he were an ant.
Before Jia Bin could reach Jiang Nuan, she mercilessly kicked out her foot.
Jia Bin, caught completely off guard, knelt before Jiang Nuan, his whole body filled with humiliation.
Jiang Nuan looked down at him, "Jia Bin, do you remember what you said at the mall yesterday? I thought you were going to treat some rich family. Turns out you were treating the old Madam Lu."
"As a physician, your behavior is simply despicable and shameless. Let me tell you something else. Xiao Ya, who pesters you every day asking for money, was once my friend's little lover. After defrauding a down payment from my friend's boyfriend, no one paid the subsequent money, so you became the fall guy. You've spent hundreds of thousands on her during this time, haven't you?"
Jia Bin was stunned and looked at Jiang Nuan abruptly, "You... how do you know her name is Xiao Ya?" It was more than hundreds of thousands; he had spent over a million.
Jiang Nuan: "..." This fool!
She ignored Jia Bin any longer and looked at the pill in Elder Wu's hand with a clear gaze.
Elder Wu only then realized what was happening. No matter where they went, they were treated as honored guests by the host families, and they had never experienced such a situation. He was stunned for a moment.
"Jiang Nuan, you are simply too arrogant. Unfortunately, this time, you will have to pay the price for your actions," Elder Wu roared, his beard bristling.
Jiang Nuan looked at him with stern eyes, "If you feed this pill to the old madam, who do you think will die more miserably?"
