Cao Yingyingâs face was filled with joy. Grandpaâs act indeed made her very happy. Grandpa asking Lu Li to treat him meant six months of time, ah, six months, she could spend every day with Lu Li.
Good grandpa, otherwise she wouldnât know what reason to use to approach Lu Li.
Now itâs great, Lu Li can come every day, she can see him every day, and also help grandpa with his treatment.
The Cao family truly lived up to its name. The medicinal herbs Lu Li needed were all collected within a few minutes. However, brewing the medicine was still a hassle. The complexity of
Chinese medicine meant that if the heat wasnât controlled properly, the whole pot could be ruined.
Lu Li still needed to watch over it, and Cao Yingying also watched Lu Li, both of them silent, just quietly observing.
This gave Lu Li a sense of déjà vu; in his last life, she seemed to have always been there too.
Itâs just that back then, he was completely in a daze, his heart numb, indifferent to everything else.
âFrom now on, just brew the medicine like this; Iâll only handle the acupuncture, the rest isnât my responsibility.â Looking at the woman he had a good impression of, Lu Li said seriously.
âOkay, thank you, Lu Li!â Cao Yingying smiled sweetly. She knew how superb Lu Liâs medical skills were; in her last life, it was he who solved the problem of grandpaâs legs that many top doctors couldnât.
These intimate wordsâŠ
Although the words themselves didnât seem close, Cao Yingyingâs tone was perhaps a bit too familiar, werenât they?
Lu Li frowned, feeling puzzled as if something was not quite right, but couldnât pinpoint it, scrutinizing Cao Yingying.
âDo I have something on my face?â Cao Yingying touched her cheek, feeling a bit uncomfortable, her face slightly reddening.
âItâs nothingâŠâ He shook his head silently, not noticing anything unusual.
Very naturally, Cao Yingying acted as if everything was just as it should be.
âLet the old master drink the medicine, and we can start the acupuncture.â
Lu Li didnât dwell on it; he knew his keen intention, as long as the final goal was achieved, everything was fine.
The acupuncture was just the most routine kind, something any old traditional Chinese doctor would know. In essence, Lu Liâs approach was primarily about the medication, the
acupuncture merely a supplement.
After finishing, Lu Li left the Cao familyâs small courtyard.
âDid the young man from the Lu family leave?â Grand Master Cao teased, looking at his little granddaughter.
âYes, he left!â Cao Yingyingâs fair and bright face reddened, unable to withstand grandpaâs seemingly all-seeing gaze.
âYingyingâs ideal man is this Lu familyâs young man, right!â Grand Master Cao laughed.
ââŠYes!â Cao Yingying, holding back her shyness, nodded emphatically.
âBut I heard, this young man from the Lu family seems to like that Zhang familyâs girl a lot, even pursued her for eight years, seems quite infatuated.â Grand Master Cao teased his granddaughter with a smile, his gaze playful.
âI know, but that woman doesnât deserve Lu Li!â Cao Yingying raised her head, her gaze firm. Zhang Ziqin can only hurt Lu Li, such a woman, what qualifications does she have.
âHa ha ha ha ha, thatâs right, my Cao familyâs girl should be like this, like someone, go chase him. My granddaughter, canât she be better than a mere Zhang Ziqin.â Grand Master Cao
laughed heartily.
âJust right, I also heard the young man from the Lu family has already given up on Zhang Ziqin.â
âAh!â Cao Yingying looked at her grandfather in surprise.
Grand Master Cao, with a knowing look, squinting, as if talking to himself: âLast time, that Zhang family girlâs banquet, the young man from the Lu family didnât attend, and also stopped all projects related to Zhang Corporation.â
âGrandfather, are you telling the truth?â A glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes.
This lifeâs Lu Li has already given up, huh! No wonder he seems so cheerful.
âItâs false, Grandpa lied, oh.â Grand Master Cao teased, like a mischievous child.
âGrandfather~~â
âHa ha ha ha ha!â

âBreaking News , Zhao Corporationâs constructed houses have serious quality issuesâ
âZhao Corporation, rich but unkind, used substandard materials for constructionâ
âResidents of houses built by Zhao Corporation speak out: âThey threatened me, saying if I caused trouble, they would make me disappear.'â
âMany victims have gathered at Zhao Corporationâs building, demanding an explanationâ
âEvidence of Zhao Corporation using substandard materials has been exposed by insidersâ
News like these dominated all major media channels within half a day, the speed was so fast, Zhao Corporation hardly had time to react.
Zhao Shaotianâs face was grim; he hadnât expected the Lu Corporation to actually retaliate, and so viciously at that, aiming to drive Zhao Corporation towards bankruptcy!
âImmediately buy back our dispersed stocks, also, take out the liquid funds, donât let the stock prices fall.â He roared a bit hysterically.
âManager, itâs too late, our dispersed stocks have almost all been bought up.â The manager responsible for this looked quite distressed.
âOur stock price is plummeting, itâs about to break through the critical point.â Sweat poured down, tremblingly said.
âDamn it, Lu Corporation, youâve played hard!â Zhao Shaotian cursed: âNever mind the dispersed stocks, continue to put our liquid funds into the stock market, ensure the stock value doesnât continue to drop.â
Doing so would make Lu Corporation the biggest winner, but Zhao Shaotian couldnât care less now, choosing the lesser of two evils, letting Lu Li make money is better than his company going under.
âYes!â The manager immediately responded, hurriedly running out.
The next second, another person burst into the office: âManager, bad news, a large group of homebuyers has blocked the companyâs entrance, they demand we⊠weâŠâ
âWhat do they want, say it quickâŠâ Zhao Shaotian roared angrily.
âWant us to refund the money, saying our house quality has issues.â
âDamn, a bunch of troublemakers! Donât bother with them, sort out the financial market issues first.â Zhao Shaotian said irritably.
A few hours ago, he was still at Grand Master Caoâs birthday banquet in the Cao familyâs courtyard, never expecting to face such a problem in just a few hours.
âBut they saidâŠâ
âWhat else!â Zhao Shaotian bellowed.
âSaid⊠if we donât refund, they will sue us.â The person trembled while speaking.
âDamn, troublemakers, all of them, do they know where the court is? Still suing!â
