Under the setting sun, a late-model Maybach with a license plate of five sixes stopped at the entrance of the Su family ancestral home. Li Lianyi stepped out of the car and, accompanied by Li Shanglai and Yun Yan, walked towards the main gate.
Today, Li Lianyi's flowing long hair was tied up. Her delicate features and pretty face were devoid of any makeup or jewelry. She was still wearing a white Hanfu dress and cloth shoes. Paired with her cool and detached demeanor, she looked like an immortal who had descended to the mortal realm.
At the entrance of the Su family ancestral home, Su Le, who was serving as a greeter, stood there like a wooden stake, unmoving, with his eyes fixed on Li Lianyi.
Since ancient times, Su Jiang has produced beautiful women. As a renowned prodigal son of Su Jiang, Su Le had been with many women, including beauties. There were pretty ones, sexy ones, charming ones, and obedient ones, and so on. But when he saw Li Lianyi, he was utterly stunned – how could such a beautiful woman exist in this world?
Perhaps Li Xueyan's stunning beauty had captivated Su Le so much that he didn't snap back to reality even when she walked past him with Li Shanglai and Yun Yan.
"It… it really is Li Shanglai from Longteng Pharmaceuticals!"
After Li Lianyi and the other two entered the Su family ancestral home, everyone gathered at the entrance of the ancestral home's living room saw the trio. Among them, Su Shijie couldn't help but exclaim.
Su Shiwei, Xia Hong, Su Wu, and Su Li's family of four all looked somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
At this point, they could tell with their toes that Li Shanglai's visit to the Su family ancestral home was because of Jiang Wuming!
While they were aware, their gazes didn't linger on Li Shanglai for too long. Instead, they were drawn to Li Lianyi, who was walking in front.
This was because Li Lianyi was so beautiful that it was heart-stopping, making it difficult not to attract attention.
Furthermore, Li Lianyi walking in front of Li Shanglai indicated that her status was even more prominent than his!
Not only Su Shiwei's family of four, but everyone else, including Jiang Wuming, looked towards Li Lianyi.
"Who is that girl?"
As they watched, Su Shining couldn't help but ask, voicing the confusion in many people's hearts.
"Her name is Li Lianyi. She is the sole designated successor of Old Master Li. Her medical skills are superb, and she is known as the Little Medical Immortal."
As soon as Su Shining finished speaking, a voice chimed in.
Qin Xiaozhi had appeared behind Jiang Wuming at some point and was now explaining to everyone.
The sole successor of the Li family?
Upon hearing Qin Xiaozhi's words, everyone except Jiang Wuming, who already knew Li Lianyi's situation, was shocked, including Su Shiyun!
After all, Qin Linhai had just said that the Li family, which controlled the lifeline of martial artist medications, was a top-tier affluent family in Long Country, with influence even greater than the Qin family.
And now, the sole successor of such a top-tier affluent family had come to the Su family uninvited!
This… how could it not shock everyone?!
"Boss, I've always wondered why Li Lianyi became the goddess in the hearts of the sons and daughters of dignitaries and martial arts geniuses across Long Country, with suitors like flowing river water, numbering countless. Today, seeing her, I finally understand – setting aside her family background and superb medical skills, just her face, figure, and demeanor alone are unparalleled in this world."
While everyone was still in shock, Qin Xiaozhi spoke again, his words full of praise.
Jiang Wuming remained silent, having to admit inwardly that Li Lianyi was indeed excessively beautiful.
However, compared to Li Lianyi's beauty and demeanor, Jiang Wuming was more deeply impressed by the intelligence and assertiveness she displayed when she called him earlier to negotiate!
In the courtyard, as Li Lianyi walked, her gaze also swept over the crowd at the entrance of the ancestral home's living room, landing on Jiang Wuming.
Although this was her first meeting with Jiang Wuming, she had already committed his appearance to memory.
Back then, Jiang Wuming had arranged for Tianying, the intelligence chief of the War Dragon Hall, to collect information on the Li family and Longteng Pharmaceuticals in order for the Su Group to cooperate with Longteng Pharmaceuticals. Li Lianyi, in order to have the opportunity to learn medical theories, had naturally investigated the Su family thoroughly and obtained a lot of information about Jiang Wuming and the Su family.
Through that information, she analyzed what Jiang Wuming cared about and made an offer during the negotiation that he couldn't refuse!
How did Wuming get to know a celestial daughter like Li Lianyi?
Hearing Qin Xiaozhi and Jiang Wuming discuss Li Lianyi, whether it was the Su Shiwei, Su Shijie, Su Shining families, or Su Yuanshan, even Liu Guifang and Su Shiyun's mother and daughter, they were all filled with the same confusion!
"Hello, Grandpa Su, I am Li Lianyi."
Under everyone's curious gaze, Li Lianyi, with Li Shanglai and Yun Yan, arrived at the front of the ancestral home's living room and calmly greeted Su Yuanshan, who was at the front of the crowd.
"Welcome Miss Li, Mr. Li, and this gentleman to the Su family!" Su Yuanshan welcomed them on behalf of the Su family.
"Grandpa Su, Lianyi has come to the Su family with Shanglai uncle today for three purposes."
Li Lianyi spoke again, her expression as calm as still water, her voice melodious and pleasant. "First, to wish Grandpa Su a happy birthday. May you live as long as the South Mountain!"
"Thank… thank you!"
Although Su Yuanshan was mentally prepared for this, hearing Li Lianyi's direct blessing still made him feel somewhat flattered and curious about her other two purposes for bringing people today.
"Second, Uncle Shanglai will, according to Mr. Wuming's request, represent the Li family and Longteng Pharmaceuticals to discuss cooperation on Qi and Blood Pills with Miss Su Shiyun!"
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Li Lianyi stated the second purpose.
"Uh…"
In an instant, everyone except Jiang Wuming, Qin Xiaozhi, and Su Shiyun, who were aware of the situation, was stunned by Li Lianyi's words!
Because they knew that Longteng Pharmaceuticals had become the leader of Long Country's pharmaceutical industry precisely because it monopolized the medications used by martial artists – manufacturing and selling drugs for martial artists was one of the most profitable businesses in the world!
In fact, an industry insider once described Longteng Pharmaceuticals with this sentence: Longteng Pharmaceuticals, which monopolized martial artist medications, was like a non-stop printing press!
And due to the scarcity of gene drugs and the low cost of healing medicines, Longteng Pharmaceuticals' greatest revenue came from Qi and Blood Pills!
If the Su Group could cooperate with Longteng Pharmaceuticals in the field of Qi and Blood Pills, what would that mean?
Longteng Pharmaceuticals would continuously supply wealth to the Su family, making the Su family the wealthiest family in Su Jiang, and even Jiangnan!
Besides the cooperation itself shocking everyone, another piece of information revealed in Li Lianyi's words made it even more unbelievable – Li Shanglai was discussing cooperation on Qi and Blood Pills with Su Shiyun according to Jiang Wuming's request!
On what basis did Jiang Wuming make the Li family do this?
"Third, Lianyi is entrusted by Mr. Wuming to treat Grandpa Su's lung disease!"
As if to respond to everyone, Li Lianyi spoke again, stating the third purpose.
As her voice fell, Li Lianyi cast her gaze towards Jiang Wuming.
The others present also shifted their gaze from Li Lianyi to Jiang Wuming.
In an instant.
Jiang Wuming became the sole focus of the entire scene.
The Su family's true dragon was nameless, revealing itself today!
