Old Wu's hand, holding the pill, suddenly tightened.
What had this woman seen now?
"Jiang Nuan, what do you mean by that? I'm warning you, slander is a legal offense. You'd better think carefully before you speak?" Old Wu's tone was laced with a threat. He had been looking for an opportunity to ruin this woman but hadn't found one. In a month's time, there would be an important traditional Chinese medicine exchange meeting. He planned to have the association's president invite Jiang Nuan to completely destroy her reputation.
But the exchange meeting was a month away, and there was no opportunity yet.
Just now, he should have let this woman make the first move, and then he would have made his own move, which would have made him appear more distinguished.
Jiang Nuan looked at the pill in his hand, her expression disdainful, "You are charging a million per pill for these tens of dollars worth of medicinal herbs, with the addition of Lycoris radiata for the return to vitality. I've never seen anyone as black-hearted as you."
"After the old madam takes this medicine, she will indeed wake up very quickly. However, there is another ingredient in this pill, Bn+2, a chemical extract. It will cause the old madam's organs to gradually fail. And you, you did manage to revive the old madam, but you also prepared a set of excuses to extricate yourself later. The old madam is old and is already at the end of her tether."
"Old Wu, am I right?"
"The fragrance that was just emitted was merely a mixture of lilies and plum blossoms."
"And your foolish disciple, in order to be with his little sweetheart, actually leaked your secret. His intention was for the old madam to have a moment of spirited return before dying, so that he could get a large sum of money. Your idiotic disciple is still waiting to spend the money on his mistress."
Jiang Nuan said with a smile, appreciating the expressions on their faces.
The Han family members were all greatly shocked.
Especially Jia Bin, who had never dreamed that what he had said to Xiao Ya yesterday would be overheard by Jiang Nuan.
It was over now. His teacher would no longer take him along.
Everything was over. His future, his everything, was over.
Old Wu's cloudy eyes fixed sharply on Jia Bin. This fool had ruined his own prospects for a woman; it was utterly foolish.
Lu Cheng Zai was also dumbfounded. What was going on?
The Old Wu he had painstakingly invited was worth nothing in front of Jiang Nuan?
"Old Wu, is what Miss Jiang is saying true?" Lu Cheng Si's expression was gloomy. He had almost fallen for this old man's trick. Judging by the quality of this master and disciple pair, they were not good people.
A hint of an embarrassed smile flickered across Old Wu's face. No matter what, he could not ruin his reputation here. He slowly put away the pill in his hand.
He stood up and looked coldly at Lu Cheng Si, enraged. "Since Chairman Lu doesn't trust me, then I don't need to embarrass myself here. I'll be leaving." Old Wu picked up his medical bag, cast a dark glance at Jia Bin on the ground, and ignored him, striding away.
If he didn't leave, he would be finished too.
"Ah! This..." Lu Cheng Zai's face turned ashen. This damned old man left so quickly, which was clearly a sign of guilt.
Jia Bin shot Jiang Nuan a fierce look, got up, and followed Old Wu away with a limp.
"Miss Jiang, thank you for seeing through Old Wu's scheme, otherwise my mother would have suffered." Lu Cheng Si looked at Jiang Nuan, very grateful.
Jiang Nuan looked at him, still a little troubled. "Chairman, I'm not sure what is particularly important to the old madam. The old madam's illness is not very serious. The cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease caused her to faint and not wake up. More importantly, the old madam has no will to live."
The Han family members were troubled. The old madam had no particular hobbies in her life; she lived a simple and ordinary life, and her days were also very happy.
They looked at each other, none of them knowing what the old madam cared about most.
Jiang Nuan took out a bottle of serum and handed it to Lu Jin Yue. "Young Master Lu, please administer this serum to the old madam."
Rong Yin took a look and looked at Jiang Nuan in surprise. "XG serum."
Jiang Nuan looked at him. "How do you know?"
After asking, Jiang Nuan regretted it a little. Rong Yin was a person with real talent.
Rong Yin smiled strangely, looking at Jiang Nuan. He had truly found a great treasure. His eyes on Jiang Nuan sparkled like he was looking at pure gold.
"This is a special medicine for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. One bottle is effective, and it's very expensive abroad."
Rong Yin smiled with a hint of mischief. "Jiang Nuan, why don't you sell me the formula? I'm willing to pay any price."
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are generally difficult to cure. They are very likely caused by hypertension or hyperlipidemia, and are due to the presence of blood clots.
Jiang Nuan said with a stern face, "Not for sale!"
Rong Yin looked at her aggrievedly. The little girl was also beautiful when she was angry, but her beautiful eyes were so cold and aloof that she seemed very unapproachable.
"Xiao Nuan Nuan, you said you wanted to cooperate with me. Is it because you don't see the money that you won't sell? I'll write you a 10 billion check right now. Give me all your formulas and let's cooperate."
The Han family members: "..." They felt that Rong Yin was truly reckless when he joked.
Jiang Nuan: "..." She looked at Rong Yin with an expression that said, "Are you sick?"
"It's too late." She handed the serum to Lu Jin Yue.
Lu Jin Yue trusted Jiang Nuan. He carefully administered the serum into his grandmother's mouth.
Lu Cheng Zai said unwillingly, "Jin Yue, aren't you afraid that Miss Jiang's serum has a problem?"
Lu Jin Yue looked at his second uncle with a cold expression. "Second Uncle, Miss Jiang is a conscientious doctor, and the life of the Chairman of Jin Shi Nan was saved by Miss Jiang, not Old Wu."
Lu Cheng Zai: "..."
Damn it, he had been happy for nothing.
Lu Cheng Si was still very worried. He looked at his mother on the hospital bed and said, "Miss Jiang, when will my mother wake up?"
Jiang Nuan said, "As I said before, does the old madam have anything she particularly cares about?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Lu Jin Yue looked at Jiang Nuan and said, "My grandmother has been a vegetarian for many years. I don't know why, but I always feel she has something on her mind, yet when I ask her, she says she doesn't."
Jiang Nuan glanced at the old madam's room. The room was spacious and simple.
Unlike the opulent residences of other wealthy old madams, she lived a life of simple food and plain clothing.
Jiang Nuan said, "May I take a look at the old madam's room?"
Jiang Nuan didn't know why she was so persistent; she just wanted to save the old madam.
Jin Yan looked at her pale mother-in-law with a heavy heart. Her mother-in-law was a good person and was very kind to her daughters-in-law.
She said, "Let's all look together." Her gaze fell on Jiang Nuan, and she always had a strange feeling about this girl.
Jiang Nuan and the others searched the old madam's room but found nothing of value.
Jiang Nuan was very puzzled. The old madam's lifestyle was very simple, like her grandmother's. Her wardrobe contained only a few sets of clothes, and everything was kept very tidy.
Jiang Nuan lowered her head, thinking of her grandmother and feeling a little down. She took a step forward with her head lowered and suddenly bumped into a maid who was bringing tea. The tea spilled all over her.
