"Brother-in-law..." Su Bingyan cried out softly, a blush on her face, "I, I didn't mean to peek from outside."
Qin Yexuan, however, remained calm. He sat up on the small bed and casually pointed, "You've met Ling Su. She just finished preparing the medicine. I took a look and there's no problem. Take it back and boil it quickly. Aunt Liu's condition can't be delayed."
What? It's this late, and Brother-in-law is still so unfazed?
Su Bingyan, flustered, picked up the medicine packet and suddenly remembered her purpose for coming.
"Brother-in-law, that cooperation agreement with Tianyi Consortium..." Speaking of which, Su Bingyan looked at Fang Ling Su, "Was it arranged by Divine Doctor Fang?"
Only Fang Ling Su had the background and capability for this.
Da Xia's number one divine doctor, the leader of the national medical community, and acquainted with top elites.
No wonder even Tianyi Consortium listened to Fang Ling Su.
"I'm sorry, Divine Doctor Fang, I cannot accept this cooperation. I prefer to build my company through my own efforts."
Su Bingyan felt dejected, never expecting that she would acquire that land by relying on her brother-in-law's lover.
If that's the case, did Brother-in-law sacrifice his looks? To help her start her business, he would even use his body...
Her face grew redder.
Qin Yexuan shook his head at this moment, "This has nothing to do with Ling Su. Ling Su is just my student. I asked Tianyi Consortium to give you that piece of land. Well, it was my oversight. Let's put this aside for now."
Fang Ling Su is Brother-in-law's student?
The land in Qingshui Bay was given to me by Brother-in-law?
How could this be!
Clearly, Fang Ling Su gave the orders from behind the scenes. Why would Brother-in-law say this?
Alas, men are all about saving face. Brother-in-law is too embarrassed to admit that the matter was accomplished by relying on a woman, so he's lying, right?
Su Bingyan kept fiddling with the hem of her clothes and nodded softly, "I understand."
Qin Yexuan then escorted her out. He first delivered the medicine to Jin Hai Yi Dong, had Xie Yunfeng take care of Liu Shanshan after it was brewed, and then took Bing Yan back to the Su family's small building.
Upon returning home, he busied himself in the kitchen.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Bingyan sorted out her thoughts and called the sisters in the house into the room.
"Second Sister, what happened? Are we having another meeting?" Su Mingyue, who had just returned from the hospital, looked very worried.
"While Brother-in-law is cooking and Xiao Yu is still doing homework, I need to tell you something!" Su Bingyan frowned deeply. "I know now who Brother-in-law's woman outside is!"
Ah!
Su Xueqing, who was applying nail polish, almost jumped up, and the heroic policewoman Su Ningshuang was also stunned.
Su Bingyan then recounted the matter of the Qingshui Bay land. She didn't mention Jin Hai Yi Dong for the time being. But she figured that with Fang Ling Su's status and wealth, buying a building would be a simple matter.
"Who is Fang Ling Su? Is she very famous?" Su Xueqing, who was in the entertainment industry, was dismissive. "I know all the celebrities. I haven't heard of her."
"Axue, don't embarrass yourself." Su Mingyue rolled her eyes and patted her. "Fang Ling Su is the leader of Da Xia's national medicine. She has investments in three of the world's top medical laboratories and owns several listed biopharmaceutical groups. Leaving that aside, her reputation alone means that even high-ranking officials in the capital often invite her to treat them!"
Su Xueqing gasped, "Then how did our Brother-in-law meet her? By the way, is she pretty?"
Su Mingyue took out her phone and found a bare-faced photo of Fang Ling Su.
Seeing the photo, the "little fairy" Su Xueqing was astonished again, "She has such a presence, so beautiful, how could she fall for our Brother-in-law?"
"Our Brother-in-law isn't bad either!" Su Mingyue muttered, "I guess it's because Brother-in-law's medical skills are amazing, so they met!"
"Is this Fang Ling Su so good to our Brother-in-law? She even gave Brother-in-law the land in Qingshui Bay?"
Su Xueqing understood some of the nuances and pointed it out in one sentence, "Isn't Brother-in-law using the honey trap?"
Su Bingyan was extremely embarrassed, "Don't say that. I've already rejected that contract."
"Well done, Second Sister. The land can be given up, and we can earn money slowly. But our good Brother-in-law cannot be sold!" Su Xueqing was a bit anxious.
This little girl stood up and clenched her fist, "I need to think of a way to win Brother-in-law back. Don't let that Fang Ling Su seduce him away!"
"Axue, what are you talking about!" Su Bingyan sighed. "Brother-in-law is also a man. It's normal for him to find a girlfriend."
"I don't care, humph, I must keep Brother-in-law!" Su Xueqing shouted, "Just you wait, I'll make my move immediately."
At this moment, Qin Yexuan's voice came from downstairs, "Come down for dinner!"
The food was still very fragrant, but the Su sisters seemed to have something on their minds.
In the evening, as Qin Yexuan was washing the dishes, Su Bingyan slowly walked in.
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry. Although you meant well, I cannot..."
"Still thinking about the Qingshui Bay land?" Qin Yexuan wiped his hands and smiled. "Jiangcheng currently has a large floating population. The city is developing the suburbs and building a livable satellite town. Various policies will be rolled out soon. Your company will have room to play, so it's fine if you don't have that piece of land."
Su Bingyan nodded repeatedly, "I think so too, even though that piece of land is really good!"
"Work hard. The land in Qingshui Bay might be put up for tender in the future. When you have enough strength and qualifications, you can win this project openly." Qin Yexuan said gently, "Get some rest early."
The Su family's small building gradually quieted down, while at the Xie family's villa, it was a scene of chaos.
Xie Xinying had just finished giving her statement at the police station. She had been pampered since childhood and couldn't handle such treatment. She cried nonstop after returning.
Her uncle's family all had grim expressions.
"Did Tianyi Consortium really say that? They will only cooperate with Su Bingyan?"
"Wuwu, Mom, would I lie to you? It's true. I'm so scared. Those people actually accused me of stealing the contract! And they arrested me like a thief, wuwu."
Her aunt's face darkened. She stood up, paced back and forth several times, and then gritted her teeth, "Su Bingyan is ruthless enough. She handed over the contract on the surface, but secretly complained, causing Xinying to suffer such a great loss!"
"Wife, what should we do?" Her uncle sighed, "Maybe Su Bingyan really has a background. I think we should just let this matter go."
"Shut up! You useless thing! Su Bingyan is nothing but a cheap woman who got the contract by selling herself! I know what to do about this!"
Her aunt stood up menacingly, "The Liu general manager of Tianyi is just an employee. Now I know that the owner behind Tianyi Consortium is that President Chen of the General Chamber of Commerce! This matter will be easy to handle!"
"Ah! Wife, you even know Chen Tiance?"
Her aunt said proudly, "I don't have that ability, but the secretary Liu beside President Tian Ce is my classmate. Humph, just you wait, I'll make Su Bingyan regret it!"
