Chapter 254: Chapter 181: Dare to Make Trouble on Her Turf?_5

Lee Fong, hearing Qin An speak like that, also instantly blushed, leaving Qin An stunned.

The Lee Fong of the past had an air of exhaustion and pain about her, and though she was in her thirties, she looked like she was in her forties. But after spending a few months at Qin Qin’s home, eating Spirit Fruit, Spiritual Tea, and Spirit Vegetables regularly, her whole demeanor improved. Now in her thirties, she looked more like she was in her twenties, with a delicate and attractive face that possessed the charm of a mature woman.

"Alright, alright, give each other a kiss," Lu Xuezhen encouraged, feeling happy for Lee Fong and Qin An, but a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

As she watched Qin An and Lee Fong kiss amidst the crowd’s encouragement, the smile in Lu Xuezhen’s eyes grew even more melancholic. Wanting to step back but not knowing whose foot she stepped on, she turned to see who it was behind her, only to find it was Zhao Han, "When did you get behind me?"

She remembered he was clearly with Pingzi and the others, wondering when he had moved behind her.

Zhao Han took a step back, his gaze deep as he looked at Lu Xuezhen, "It’s quite noisy here, want to go out for a walk?"

Lu Xuezhen was startled, then nodded, "Hmm."

The scenery at Blue Bay was beautiful, with the night lights twinkling, the sky filled with stars tonight, and a crescent moon hanging high, casting a silver glow on the road.

Lu Xuezhen walked ahead, with Zhao Han following quietly behind her.

After strolling for a bit, Lu Xuezhen stopped by a fountain, looking at it amid the night. She lifted her hand, letting the spray of water hit it, and stared blankly at the water droplets in her hand.

Suddenly, Lu Xuezhen felt her body being pulled back, crashing into a broad and strong chest. Startled, she stepped back and looked at Zhao Han, who had grabbed her.

Zhao Han retracted his hand sheepishly, with a usual expression on his face but slightly red ears, only invisible due to the dark night.

"I’m sorry, I just saw you touching the water and worried you might wet your clothes and catch a cold. The wind is a bit strong tonight, be careful not to catch a cold," Zhao Han said, seemingly unable to look at Lu Xuezhen, his eyes fixed on the flowerbed and fountain behind her.

"Thank you," she replied.

After Lu Xuezhen spoke, the atmosphere turned somewhat tranquil, with no one speaking. After a while, accompanied by a breeze, Zhao Han’s voice was heard.

"You seem to have something on your mind?"

Lu Xuezhen lifted her head to glance at Zhao Han and then turned away, "You’re mistaken, I have no worries."

"..."

"We’ve been out long enough; let’s go back, or Qin Qin will start looking for us soon," Lu Xuezhen said, seeming to walk away in avoidance.

Zhao Han watched her deeply as she moved ahead and followed.

Night fell as usual, with June quietly departing.

In July, as the weather grew increasingly hot, Tang Xin and Jing Feng’s child was born and they held a grand party, to which they specifically invited Qin Qin. At the party, they expressed their heartfelt gratitude to her with abundant praise.

In Jingdu City, Jing Residence.

Jing Zhimei’s mother passed away shortly after giving birth to her. Jing Zhimei’s father, Jing Xiang, was handsome in his youth, attracting countless women, but unfortunately, he became corpulent and frivolous in middle age, making him look like he was in his fifties when he was barely over forty.

Jing Xiang entered the Jing Residence with a somber expression. Jing Zhimei sat on the couch gracefully sipping tea, across from the pretty and delicate Lin Tianya.

On seeing her father, Jing Xiang, Jing Zhimei’s face flashed with coldness. Jing Xiang, once a charming figure with extraordinary abilities, was why the Old Madam Jing entrusted Jing’s Pharmaceutical Group to him, but regrettably, Jing Xiang took it for granted. Hardly coming home for years, and unable to be controlled by the ailing Old Madam Jing, his disappointments angered her to the point of almost giving Jing’s Pharmaceutical Group to her granddaughter Jing Zhimei.

Jing Xiang sat on the couch, and seeing his troubled expression, Lin Tianya stood up to bid Jing Zhimei farewell and left.

"Dad, what’s wrong?" Even though she wasn’t entirely satisfied with Jing Xiang, he was still her father. In this life, she valued family very much, like Qin Qin, because she had not had parents in her past life, she cared even more in this one. If her father failed to step up, then she had to shoulder many responsibilities. Although Jing Xiang was officially in charge of Jing’s Pharmaceutical Group, only those within Jing’s knew that many major decisions were shown to Jing Zhimei first, and only after she approved them were they shown to Jing Xiang.

Jing Xiang frowned and spoke coldly, "Our Jing’s has been defeated by some small pharmaceutical group, it’s infuriating."

Recently, Jing’s Group’s long-time customers had unexpectedly rejected their medicines, opting instead to collaborate with Heavenly Medicine Group and even told him their medicine was excellent. Isn’t this a blatant slap in his face? He has a daughter who is a peerless doctor; how can Heavenly Medicine Group’s medicines compare with what his daughter produces?
