105: Chapter 104 Ning Xin’s Brewed Tea_1 105: Chapter 104 Ning Xin’s Brewed Tea_1 Jerry Traditional Medicine couldn’t produce the elixir pill, so they could only make excuses about problems in the production process and delay the time.

But in just a few days, an undercover journalist revealed that Jerry Traditional Medicine had not actually produced any effective elixir pills, and that what they did make was no better than chocolate beans.

Now, Jerry Pharmaceuticals had been pushed to the forefront of public opinion and had become a complete laughingstock.

Since many investors had been brought in to invest in the Jerry Traditional Medicine project before it was established, and now it was exposed that no effective elixir pills had been developed at all, all the investors felt that Jerry was committing fraud.

They banded together and took Jerry Traditional Medicine to court.

In this case, Cherng Yong, the person responsible for the project, and Xiaoyue, the legal representative of the Jerry Traditional Medicine company, shouldered the main responsibility for the incident and eventually ended up in prison.

Xiao Yun managed to escape the disaster thanks to his father, Xiao Shan.

However, Jerry Traditional Medicine had consumed a large amount of capital and resources from Jerry Pharmaceuticals and didn’t recover a single penny in costs, leaving Jerry Pharmaceuticals with a broken financial chain and the entire enterprise on the brink of collapse, barely able to hold on for much longer.

That afternoon.

Lu Chuan sat in the courtyard, looking at the news about Jerry Pharmaceuticals on the verge of bankruptcy on the internet, and a smile appeared on his face.

It was said above that Xiao Shan, the chairman of Jerry Pharmaceuticals, had applied for a three billion loan from the bank, hoping to survive this difficulty with the money.

Lu Chuan, after a moment of thought, mumbled to himself, “It looks like I need to find a way to stop the bank from giving them this money.

If so, the Xiao family will be completely done for.”

Just as he was thinking about how to stop the bank, his phone rang.

It was Ning Xin calling.

Lu Chuan picked up, and Ning Xin’s lazy, seductive voice came from the other side, “I’ve already had a word with the bank, they won’t give a single penny of a loan to Jerry Pharmaceuticals.

The Xiao family is completely out of the history stage.”

Lu Chuan looked astonished.

He had been thinking about stopping the bank through meticulous planning, careful arrangement, and a series of extraordinary operations, but he hadn’t expected that Ning Xin would simply talk to them, and completely cut off Jerry Pharmaceuticals’ lifeline.

Really, comparing oneself to others would drive one mad.

He asked, “This is my grudge against the Xiao family, why did you take action?”

Ning Xin said arrogantly, “After all, I am also an investor in your medical hall.

The Xiao family targeted Hanging Gourd Medical Hall, which is targeting me.

What’s wrong with me taking action?

Do you have a problem with that?”

Lu Chuan laughed, “No, no problem at all.

Since you’ve already spoken to the bank, that saves me a lot of trouble.”

Ning Xin said, “I’ve done you such a big favor, shouldn’t you show some gratitude?”

Lu Chuan replied, “Then shall I treat you to dinner?”

Ning Xin snorted, “Lack of romance.

Dress up nice tonight, and accompany me to the bar for drinks.”

Lu Chuan found it hard to refuse and agreed, “Alright.”

At eight in the evening.

Lu Chuan went to a bar called Wild Fox, according to the address Ning Xin gave.

As soon as he entered, he saw Ning Xin, radiant and sitting at the bar in a low-cut dress, surrounded by men trying to engage in conversation.

Ning Xin smiled as she chatted with these men but always kept her distance, looking very composed.

When she saw Lu Chuan, she immediately stood up and said with a smile, “My boyfriend is here; I need to accompany him.”

She walked over to Lu Chuan and wrapped her arm around his, looking very affectionate.

Lu Chuan thought to himself, when did I become your boyfriend?

But he didn’t dare make any reckless moves, because Ning Xin’s hand was pinching the flesh on his arm.

Eighty percent of the men in the bar were casting hostile looks at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan wore a helpless expression but still ignored these people, taking Ning Xin to a booth.

The two sat down.

Ning Xin looked at Lu Chuan with a smile and asked, “How is it?

Isn’t being my boyfriend thrilling?”

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes, “I feel like they’re probably plotting how to kill me right now.”

Ning Xin said proudly, “There’s no helping it.

Who asked the Miss to be naturally beautiful?

As my boyfriend, you’ll have to withstand the pressure.”

Lu Chuan chuckled and didn’t continue the topic, instead asking, “You seem a bit unhappy, did something happen?”

Ning Xin was taken aback and replied, “I’m very happy, where did you see that I’m not?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “You’ve always worn your emotions on your face.

Even if you pretend to be very happy, I can still see your true thoughts.”

Ning Xin immediately became a bit angry and said, “You are really scary.

So in front of you, I don’t even have a bit of a secret?”

Lu Chuan shrugged, “It’s just that you make it too obvious, so I can only see through your thoughts.”

Thinking back to the first time she met Lu Chuan, when he saw through all her thoughts and she felt so embarrassed, Ning Xin thought that perhaps this guy really was her true destiny.

She couldn’t think of anyone more suitable than Lu Chuan to be her other half.

Unfortunately, she was about to return to Capital City, and she was going back to prepare for marriage.

Her expression instantly became much gloomier, “My family came to find me and want me to go back to get married.

I can’t stay in Cloud City anymore.”

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile, “That’s a good thing.

I congratulate you in advance.”

Ning Xin immediately glared at Lu Chuan in anger and said, “Is that a good thing?

I’m getting married, don’t you have any thoughts on that?”

Lu Chuan took a sip of his drink, “It’s not that I haven’t.”

Ning Xin was somewhat delighted and quickly asked, “Then what are your thoughts?

Tell me quick.”

Lu Chuan said, “I’m thinking about how much gift money I should give you.”

Ning Xin’s face fell immediately, cursing, “You blockhead, I curse you to be single for life!”

Lu Chuan sighed and said, “Aren’t we here to drink?

Since you’re leaving, I’ll keep you company and drink to send you off.”

Ning Xin huffed and then called out, “Waiter, bring me the largest glass!”

The two of them drank until eleven o’clock at night.

Ning Xin was so drunk she couldn’t speak clearly, and that’s when Lu Chuan decided to take her out of the bar.

“I’m telling you, I’ve never had feelings for anyone in my life, you are the first, but it’s a pity that my family arranged a marriage for me early on, you have no chance in this life…”

Ning Xin leaned on Lu Chuan, babbling nonsense.

Lu Chuan just listened quietly, supporting her to the roadside and hailing a cab to rush to Ning Xin’s villa.

Before long, they arrived at the villa’s gate, Lu Chuan helped Ning Xin walk in, and placed her on the sofa.

“You should rest early, I’ll be going back now,” said Lu Chuan as he turned to leave.

Ning Xin grabbed Lu Chuan’s arm in one swift motion, saying, “I…

I want to drink water…”

Lu Chuan said helplessly, “Then sit tight here, I’ll go pour you some water.”

Ning Xin pointed at a teapot sitting on the table and said, “That’s the tea I brewed during the day, I want to drink that.”

Lu Chuan nodded, walked over, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Ning Xin, “Here, drink.”

Ning Xin looked at the cup for a moment and asked, “Did you pour this from that teapot?”

Lu Chuan said, “Yes.”

Ning Xin asked, “Is this tea good?”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, “Isn’t that the tea you brewed yourself?

Don’t you know if it’s good or not?”

Ning Xin coquettishly said, “Oh, I don’t care, you taste it for me to see if it’s good, I’ll drink it after you’ve tasted it.”

Looking at Ning Xin’s childlike demeanor, Lu Chuan could only say, “Fine, I’ll taste it for you.”

He picked up the cup and took a sip, only to immediately sense that the tea had a strange flavor.

“Why does this water taste so odd?

It seems somewhat familiar.” Thinking this, he took another sip to try to recall where he had encountered this taste before.

Watching Lu Chuan gulp down two mouthfuls, Ning Xin’s face broke into a sly, triumphant smile and asked, “How is it, is the tea I brewed good?”

Seeing her smile, Lu Chuan felt a sudden thump in his heart and asked somewhat warily, “Did you put something in the water?”

With her head tilted innocently, Ning Xin said, “No, I didn’t.”

Lu Chuan tried to remember the taste of the tea and then his eyes widened, staring at Ning Xin and asking, “Did you soak Wound Healing Ointment in it?”

Ning Xin honestly nodded her head, “Yeah!”

Then she stood up, snatched the cup from Lu Chuan’s hand, and downed the water in one go.

Lu Chuan panicked immediately, rushing to say, “What are you doing?

Don’t you remember what happened last time you accidentally ingested Wound Healing Ointment?”

Smiling, Ning Xin nodded, “Of course, I remember, that’s why when you came to me for investment, I insisted that you formulate Wound Healing Ointment too.”

Lu Chuan felt his body heating up already, looking incredulously at Ning Xin, totally taken aback that her request for him to make Wound Healing Ointment had this intention.

Ning Xin sauntered over to Lu Chuan, her figure seductive and full of charm.

She wrapped her arms around Lu Chuan’s waist, looked up with her big watery eyes into the man who had long captured her affection, and asked, “Well?

Don’t you want to spend an intimate moment with me?”

Lu Chuan swallowed, the drug in his system further taking effect, and said with an evasive look, “This…

this isn’t right.”

Her lips curled into a teasing smile, “Right or not, it doesn’t matter anymore.

We both drank that water, and now there’s no way to stop what’s going to happen.”

Her cheeks flushed, a sultry look flickering in her eyes signaling the onset of the elixir’s effect.

Looking at Lu Chuan with some anticipation, Ning Xin said, “Even though I can’t decide on my own marriage, I have the right to choose who I give my first time to.

Now that I am like this, can you still refuse me?”

Lu Chuan said nothing, but he did not push away Ning Xin’s arms wrapped around him.

Ning Xin, feeling the warmth of Lu Chuan’s breath, smiled and said, “I can’t wait anymore, tonight, I want to thoroughly study human anatomy, and you better accompany me for an in-depth exchange.”

After speaking, she tiptoed and kissed Lu Chuan.
