Xinghe, the sole successor of Zhengdao, the beloved daughter of a super-rich family, with five doting older brothers, started with a perfect hand. However, she was switched at birth, and she is the...
Early in the morning, Sheng Lao Si's phone was ringing off the hook.
He was researching new materials until midnight last night and didn't go to sleep until his head was still a little dizzy when the phone rang.
The phone rang several times before he answered it slowly, unusually grumpy as he said, "If you're calling me so early in the morning, it'd better be something really important."
"Sheng Yun, Fourth Brother Sheng, this is absolutely a matter of utmost importance! The director demands that you come to the research institute immediately."
The person on the other end of the phone was suppressing their excitement, but couldn't reveal such an important matter over the phone.
Sheng Lao Si rubbed his temples, washed his face, and went out.
Could it be that their research has made progress?
He returned to the research institute as quickly as possible.
As soon as he entered the research institute, he immediately realized something was wrong; most of the staff had already arrived.
The director and several national treasure-level figures from the institute who rarely leave their posts except for major events all appeared at the scene, their faces beaming with uncontrollable smiles.
She called Sheng Laosi's colleague, couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward and bumped into Sheng Laosi, "Sheng Laosi, you better tell me honestly, where did that dark pill come from?"
Fourth Brother Sheng: "The research results are out?"
"The drugs involved were completely unheard of until we later discovered that they could directly affect the brain, making it clear and even slightly improving intelligence."
"That's not all, do you know what we discovered? It can restore people with intellectual disabilities to normal!"
Speaking of this, everyone present couldn't contain their excitement.
"This is simply the greatest discovery in the field of medicine in the 20th century."
"If this drug could be mass-produced and marketed, it would be a lifesaver for countless families with intellectual disabilities, both domestically and internationally."
"Sheng Laosi, tell me honestly, where did these things come from? How much more do you have?"
Sheng Laosi's expression was complicated. "There's only one pill. The situation is a bit complicated. I'm not sure if there's any more medicine."
He thought of his sister at home, who seemed to be covered in thorns and acted like a charlatan, and felt a headache coming on.
Their relationship is far from harmonious.
The director gave the order, "No matter what it takes, you must get a few more pills. If possible, we are willing to buy the prescription at a high price and hire a master pharmacist to come and oversee our research institute."
Sheng Lao Si sighed, "I'll give it a try."
His sister is no pushover.
Moreover, if he can't handle it, these covetous professors will definitely step in themselves.
This medicine is of great importance, and the research institute will absolutely not let it go easily.
How exactly did Xinghe obtain this medicine? And why did he give it to them so easily?
With a heavy heart, Sheng Lao Si left the research institute early.
At this time, the Sheng family...
Xinghe squatted down next to Wang Ma, propping her head up with one hand. Her kitten eyes were full of satisfaction as she stuffed cherries into her own mouth and into Wang Ma's mouth at the same time.
Wang Ma had eaten cherries before, but never such expensive ones. She smiled so hard her features scrunched up. "Expensive things are just different. They're much sweeter than the ones I've had before. I'm really lucky to have such a treat from the young lady."
Xinghe: "Right? I also think it's sweet, even better than the wild peas I ate when I was a kid."
Aunt Wang was surprised, "Young Miss has eaten wild peony too?"
"Of course, the old man is stingy and can't bear to buy fruit, so he goes all over the mountains to find wild fruits. Wild berries and wild strawberries are my favorites, and he always brings me a big bunch back."
"I even traded wild fruits with the kids down the mountain for snacks. Spicy strips were absolutely delicious. The old man wouldn't let me eat too many, so I hid them on the mountain and only went back after I finished them."
"My little miss." Wang Ma smiled, but tears welled up in her eyes, her eyes filled with heartache.
Even her children and grandchildren have never experienced such hardship.
As they were talking, the butler came to report, "Miss Xingyue, two people have arrived at the door. They say they are looking for you."
"Okay, I'll be right out." Xinghe got up and washed the juice off her hands.
Zhong Guofu already knew that Xinghe lived in this well-known wealthy area.
This is Mr. Qian's first time here.
Mr. Qian clicked his tongue in amazement, "I never would have guessed that Fairy Maiden was actually a member of the Sheng family."
Living here isn't something money can buy; even with all that money, they can't squeeze into this circle.
The people here have had money and power for generations.
Zhong Guofu glanced at him and said, "Don't pry into the affairs of the fairy."
"Hmm? What is it?"
Xinghe happened to come out from inside and overheard their conversation.
As soon as Zhong Guofu and Boss Qian saw Xinghe, their faces immediately lit up with smiles, and they kept calling her "Fairy Maiden".
They carried two large bags full of food, including fruits, nuts, and a variety of wild game. Xinghe glanced at them and spotted mantis shrimp bigger than his arm and a large blue crab that he had never seen before.
Xinghe: "...Is this also a specialty of your hometown?"
Zhong Guofu blushed slightly, while Boss Qian smiled and said, "I have a piece of land by the sea, which my family salvaged themselves."
Since they had already brought them, Xinghe didn't bother to be coy. She took the two large bags from them and easily hoisted them onto her shoulder.
He then pulled out two folded talismans from his pocket. "These are newly developed by me. They can ward off one disaster. I'm giving them to you."
"This, this won't do. Fairy, please name a price, and we'll buy it."
"That's right, how could I let you spend so much money?"
Galaxy, "Reciprocity is key".
Mr. Qian and Zhong Guofu were beaming with joy, and they quickly agreed.
Next time, if they send Xinghe some more things, won't they be able to establish a relationship?
Moreover, they knew that offering them a valuable starry sky would be rejected, so they chose some food instead.
Xinghe took a couple of steps before scratching his head. “In this situation, I should have invited you in for a seat and some tea, but I’m just staying here temporarily. Once my Taoist temple is renovated, I’ll invite you to come in and have a visit when you have time.”
Xinghe rarely interacted with people, so she could only learn from the old man's teachings in her memory and slowly caress the object.
Zhong Guofu and Boss Qian said in unison, "It's our honor, let's go together."
Xinghe is really busy today. He just saw two people off, and less than five minutes later, someone else came to his door.
Xinghe didn't recognize the people who came, but after seeing them, he understood their purpose.
These are the offspring of two ghosts.
Two ghosts stood beside them, and with the protection of the Milky Way, they were no longer so afraid of the midday sun.
A ghost said, "Fairy, we have prepared what you need."
The other ghost asked, "When would you be free to go and take a look?"
The people behind them bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Fairy."
Xinghe's eyes brightened slightly. "It's done so quickly? I happen to have some free time today, so I'll go take a look."
Her grand plan to earn merit points is also about to be put on the agenda.
