Ji Yunyue repeatedly shook her head, "No need, Ling Feng. I know you care about me. Don't worry, I'll handle things here. I just won't be going out. Please help me apologize to Hua Yuxiao; I won't be able to attend her wedding!"
Ji Yunyue was very considerate of others. Although she felt terrible inside, she still wanted to apologize to Hua Yuxiao.
Ling Feng held Ji Yunyue in his arms and kissed her forehead, "I'll be back!"
"Mmm, I'll wait for you," Ji Yunyue responded softly. The moonlight streamed through the window, falling upon them and the bed behind them.
Miao Jiutian's face, which had looked extremely pained, seemed to gradually calm under the moonlight, his furrowed brow relaxing.
This seemed to signal that all suffering would soon pass.
The next morning!
Ling Feng set off directly with Hua Yuxiao and the others.
Lin Shuainan's lips were a little pale, and his eyes were a little dark!
Yet, he still tried his best to control the Golden-Winged Great Peng, urging everyone to hurry.
"You've been at it from yesterday afternoon until this morning? Are you trying to have a child or risking your life like this?"
Ling Feng hadn't intended to bother Lin Shuainan, but sensing his severe kidney deficiency, he couldn't help but approach and say something.
Lin Shuainan blinked in surprise, then asked Ling Feng very seriously, "Huh? Aren't they all the same?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, "You say they're all the same!"
"Isn't having a child risking your life? You play around and then there's an extra life!"
Lin Shuainan said with a straight face.
Ling Feng suspected the guy was driving, the wheels had already run over his face, but Ling Feng couldn't find any evidence...
"Alright, swallow this pill. You look like you have kidney deficiency now; it'll be a joke if you show up at the Hua family like this. Also, when we get back, you should visit your Lin family. You need to give Xiu Xiu an explanation!"
As Ling Feng instructed, he handed over a pill.
Lin Shuainan popped the pill into his mouth like it was candy and even started chewing it.
After just two bites, Lin Shuainan's mouth twisted, and he looked back at Ling Feng, "Brother, why does this thing smell so fishy and foul?"
"I told you to swallow it, why are you chewing? Do you think this is a bun for you to gnaw on?"
Ling Feng glared at Lin Shuainan and couldn't help but scold him again.
Lin Shuainan quickly grabbed a bottle of water and forcefully swallowed the pill, narrowly avoiding vomiting. He then forced a smile at Ling Feng, "Heh heh, thanks, Brother. I feel much better now!"
Ling Feng ignored Lin Shuainan's nonsense and asked, "Did you hear what I said earlier?"
Lin Shuainan lowered his head slightly, his expression looking a bit displeased.
Ling Feng frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that three years ago, when that incident broke out... my grandfather died, and I couldn't get back in time. I've been in the capital for three years since then, and I don't think I've done much for the family. Sigh, although Jishi Group is growing bigger and bigger, and our family can cooperate with them on medicinal materials, this matter..."
As he spoke, Lin Shuainan revealed a look of deep regret and shook his head helplessly.
"What? You haven't cooperated with your own family?"
Ling Feng frowned and asked.
Lin Shuainan shook his head, "No. Xiu Xiu said that in business, the most taboo thing is to feather one's own nest. And I think Xiu Xiu is right. I understand your personality, Brother. This matter can't be done through backdoors. And for this kind of business, the Hua family is indeed more suitable than ours!"
Ling Feng finally caught something amiss, "Your family and the Hua family have been in business competition all these years?"
Lin Shuainan chuckled awkwardly, "Heh heh, am I that obvious?"
Ling Feng gave him a direct eye-roll and said speechlessly, "Xiu Xiu's family has a very good relationship with the Hua family. Why are you so foolish? It's the same business; as long as it's done properly, it's enough!"
"The key is, some people there aren't proper!"
At this moment, someone suddenly appeared from behind. It was none other than Xiu Xiu.
Xiu Xiu's expression was not very pleasant, and she even glared at Lin Shuainan!
Lin Shuainan gave an awkward laugh, scratched the back of his head, which had already stopped swelling, and then moved aside a little, "Heh heh, Xiu Xiu wife, come, sit next to your husband and talk!"
Xiu Xiu then sat beside Lin Shuainan.
Lin Shuainan had almost collapsed from kidney deficiency after a whole day of activity yesterday, yet Xiu Xiu looked radiant and beautiful. Her condition was truly remarkable!
Indeed, in this matter, women benefited the most!
Who says women are at a disadvantage after such events? Just look at Xiu Xiu's appearance, and you'll know those words are nonsense!
Of course, Ling Feng wasn't paying attention to these matters right now. He directly asked Xiu Xiu, "What did you mean by what you just said? So, you've cooperated with the Lin family before?"
"Mmm, we have cooperated. The Lin family is quite hostile towards Shuainan now. When Shuainan's grandfather passed away back then, Shuainan indeed didn't return, but Ling Feng, you had just gone missing, and Shuainan was desperately searching for you. By the time he could return, it was too late. However, the Lin family seized upon this matter, constantly ostracizing Shuainan, even to the point where he had no inheritance rights in the Lin family. If I hadn't insisted, they might have even coveted the properties that the Medicine King had given Shuainan back then!"
Xiu Xiu spoke very directly, without sparing Lin Shuainan any face. Of course, from this, it could be seen that the Lin family had truly hurt Xiu Xiu!
At this moment, Lin Shuainan didn't refute anything. Instead, he smiled and comforted Xiu Xiu.
"Heh heh, yes, thanks to my Xiu Xiu wife! Otherwise, I would have suffered a great loss back then!"
Xiu Xiu, however, directly gave Lin Shuainan an eye-roll, "You don't need to say these things to coax me. I know your relationship with your family hasn't been good all these years, and you must be dissatisfied with me. However, your cousin is now in control of the Lin family. Previously, Jishi Group gave him an opportunity to cooperate, but he secretly made some small moves, adulterating some medicines. After being reported by the Hua family, he even wanted to retaliate against the Hua family. If Hua Yuxiao hadn't persuaded me, I would have exposed this matter!"
Lin Shuainan's expression was indeed a little displeased. He shook his head and said, "My cousin is just an ignorant child. Didn't we cut off cooperation later? They also came to resent the Hua family because of this. More than two years have passed, perhaps my cousin has reformed?"
