Chapter 28 This man, she doesn't want him anymore.

"Which group do you want to send first?" He took another step closer, instantly shortening the distance between them.

A faint, refreshing scent, reminiscent of cedar, emanated from him.

"It's mainly for the treatment of lung cancer," Gu Xingnian continued. "Moreover, I will open up cooperation with all qualified medical institutions."

Lu Lie's brows furrowed tightly.

“If we do this… then many people will be eager to use it. This is your hard work and the core technology of Bluebird! This is not… part of the plan.”

"Release the formula, which is the first step and also the bait. What I want to catch is the biggest fish."

"Use yourself as bait?" The man's voice also deepened, carrying obvious disapproval.

"I initially researched this equation just to save one person." Gu Xingnian's eyes softened.

"Now, I hope it can save more people, which is also a doctor's original intention."

Yes, she did it to save Fu Beichen's grandfather.

The year before she married Fu Beichen, when Grandma Li was still alive.

She already knew from her grandmother that Fu Shihong had reached the late stage of lung cancer and had at most a year to live.

When Fu Beichen was 10 years old, he was in a serious car accident, and his father died on the spot while protecting him.

From then on, his mother's personality changed drastically. She thought he was a scourge and never spoke to him again.

She would beat and scold him at the drop of a hat, so Fu Beichen had a terrible relationship with his mother!

Fortunately, his grandfather protected him, which is why he grew up safely. His grandfather is his life!

Later, upon learning that Fu Shihong had lung cancer, he even took a month off from his studies. When he returned to France, he managed to complete three years' worth of studies in just one year and successfully earned a double degree.

Her first formula was for the treatment of lung cancer.

When Fu Shihong was terminally ill, Grandma Li went to see him, and the two of them hugged each other and cried their eyes out.

The two elderly people had known each other since childhood and loved each other their whole lives, but were forcibly separated by their family backgrounds.

Finally, the two got engaged to her and Fu Beichen, which could be considered a continuation of their lifelong regret.

Fu Beichen was willing to marry her largely to fulfill his grandfather's wish.

A year after their marriage, Fu Shihong gradually recovered his vitality.

His lung disease miraculously healed... Fu Beichen was completely baffled!

We will dedicate ourselves even more fully to research in intelligent healthcare!

Actually, it was she who had been administering medication to her grandfather, and the Lobelia chinensis in his backyard were all planted by her own hands...

Unfortunately, Grandma Li couldn't see this beautiful scene.

Thinking of Grandma Li, Gu Xingnian's eyes reddened...

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

“If I simply keep it by my side or profit from it, then what difference is there between me and the Chris family?”

Her words struck Lu Lie's heart like a heavy hammer.

Looking at Gu Xingnian in front of him, he seemed to see the dazzling light emanating from her.

"Okay, whatever you say. However, the core data for the third phase can only be left to our partners."

He spoke softly, his tone full of affection.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Gu Xingnian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Then you should prepare your speech for the summit." His eyes gleamed with a hidden tenderness for her.

"Don't worry, I will never let you down."

Lu Lie's eyes were burning with passion; she would never let herself down.

Because, in his heart, she was a goddess.

"Will the Chris family send someone to this summit?" she asked again.

“Yes, their representative is Chris Lee.” Lu Lie put down a document and handed it to her. “A very difficult guy.”

Gu Xingnian took the document, looked up, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

"That would be even more interesting." She chuckled, a confident smile curving her lips.

"Senior, can you take me to the lab?"

"good!"

......

As night deepened, the newly opened hot pot restaurant was bustling with activity.

Gu Xingnian, Sheng Weiwei, and Cheng Xinyao sat around a table, the red oil broth bubbling enticingly.

"This place is really good!" Cheng Xinyao picked up a piece of tripe, dipped it in the boiling soup a few times, and stuffed it into her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction. "Eating hot pot with you guys is simply the pinnacle of life!"

The table was laden with dishes: fatty beef, tripe, pig brains... a dazzling array.

"Aren't you happy? You get to eat meat when you're with your older sisters." Sheng Weiwei raised her eyebrows smugly.

"Sister Weiwei, you're getting more and more beautiful. Thank you for taking care of my senior sister all this time. Let's have a toast."

Cheng Xinyao raised the glass of red wine in front of her.

When my senior was pursuing her doctorate in France, my friend Weiwei visited her a few times and brought them lots of delicious food.

"Cheers!" Sheng Weiwei responded immediately.

Gu Xingnian picked up the juice next to her, smiled, and clinked glasses with them.

The crisp sound of glass clattering was particularly pleasant in the bustling hot pot restaurant.

Gu Xingnian suddenly took out a delicate little box from her bag and handed it to Sheng Weiwei, saying it was a birthday gift for Old Master Huo, and instructed her to make sure she wore it.

Sheng Weiwei nodded, naturally knowing what was inside; the Huo family owed her a huge favor this time.

The three women were eating and chatting at the dining table when suddenly, Sheng Weiwei's phone screen, which was on the table, lit up wildly.

[Ding-dong—][Ding-dong—][Ding-dong—] Several message notification sounds rang out in quick succession.

"Who is it? Why are you in such a hurry?" Sheng Weiwei frowned and picked up her phone.

She glanced at it once, and her expression changed. She slammed her phone on the table.

"Depend on!"

A low curse, filled with deep displeasure.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Xinyao asked curiously as she leaned closer.

Sheng Weiwei turned her phone screen directly towards them, her tone extremely aggressive:

"That scheming Jiang Kexin has actually come back from the dead and is back in power! Look at this trending topic, what kind of nonsense is this? I can't even look at it!"

#Fu Beichen and Jiang Kexin's 'Encounter' and Dance Together at a Restaurant#

#President Fu officially announces his relationship for the first time#

#Fu's statement strongly supports actress Jiang Kexin#

#Jiang Kexin becomes Fu Shoufu's official girlfriend#

#Actress Jiang will be the future wife of the Fu Group CEO#

Five trending topics dominated the top of the list, each followed by a bright red "hot" label.

Clicking on the first post reveals several high-definition photos: Under dim, ambiguous lighting, Fu Beichen, dressed in a bespoke suit, is embracing Jiang Kexin, who is wearing a white evening gown, as they dance gracefully.

The backdrop is a luxuriously decorated French restaurant with a huge crystal chandelier and a floor covered with rose petals.

The photos were taken with exquisite beauty, each one seemingly carefully chosen from a particular angle, perfectly showcasing the deep affection between the two.

"'Yu'? Isn't that the most upscale French restaurant in Haicheng? It's members-only, and ordinary people can't even get close to it, let alone take photos?" Cheng Xinyao clicked her tongue in amazement.

Sheng Weiwei sneered, "Isn't that right? The news said that Fu Beichen booked the entire 'Yu' restaurant tonight just to have dinner and dance with his 'beauty'."

Wow, they managed to sneak in so many photos with such tricky angles and perfect lighting even after booking the whole place! Nobody would believe they weren't staged!

This time, the wind direction completely changed!

All the messy rumors about Jiang Kexin on the internet before, such as "seducing Young Master Gu" and "pure and innocent actress", disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

Instead, a deluge of press releases praised Jiang Kexin for her beauty, kindness, and superb acting skills, saying she and Fu Beichen were a match made in heaven.

The media outlets that had previously made the initial reports are now completely silent, turning their attention to supporting "Mrs. Fu" and fearing repercussions from the Fu family.

The internet in Haicheng nearly crashed because of this "perfect couple."

The media industry experienced a minor earthquake, with everyone feeling insecure.

"The Fu family's PR team personally intervened." Sheng Weiwei gritted her teeth. "Fu Beichen has even abandoned all shame for her sake!"

Cheng Xinyao glanced at the news, then cautiously looked at Gu Xingnian.

Gu Xingnian acted as if she hadn't seen or heard anything at all.

She waved to the waiter and said, "Excuse me, could you please add another serving of beef and another serving of shrimp paste?"

Cheng Xinyao: "..."

It's too late for us to meet!

Fu Beichen, she doesn't want this man anymore!
