"this……"

Lin Zhaoyue didn't know what to say. Whether she would be bullied by her in-laws or not made no difference whether there was a man in the family or not.

The crux of the problem lies with the husband's family.

They're inherently bad; what good are plenty of men in their wives' families if they're not good enough?!

Lin Mingyue stared intently at Lin Zhaoyue, wanting to know what she was thinking.

“Mingyue, your aunt didn’t have a son when she was young. After giving birth to you, her body was severely damaged and she can’t have any more children.”

Perhaps she was just saying it, and didn't really mean it.

"Of course I know, my mom is so old, how could she possibly have another child?"

Lin Mingyue was speechless at Lin Zhaoyue's words, "What I mean is, my mom and the others wouldn't be thinking of adopting from an orphanage, would they?"

Lin Zhaoyue: "..." That's possible! The adoption procedures aren't strict right now, and anyone who has the means can adopt.

However, one thing is certain: adopted children are never as good as biological children.

Lin Zhaoyue didn't mean to discriminate against adopting a child. She just wanted the child to grow up and, if he knew his origins, be grateful and wouldn't have any wild thoughts, but would be a good son to his parents. If he was a good-for-nothing, then it would be like raising a troublesome child.

This is also one of the main reasons why Ren Zhaodi has been hesitant to make a decision to adopt.

She didn't adopt, but instead recognized Lin Zhaoyue's daughter as her goddaughter.

Their relationship grew closer, and Hua Xiuyun's impression of Ren Zhaodi changed somewhat.

"what's on your mind?"

Seeing that she was not saying anything and was just lost in thought, Lin Mingyue became a little anxious and pressed her for an answer.

"fine,"

Lin Zhaoyue's thoughts returned, "It's something that my uncle and his wife should think through carefully. We outsiders can't persuade them otherwise."

"Don't we have enough children in our family?" Lin Mingyue sulked to herself. Her sister had two daughters and she had one, so there were three children to support. And her mother was even thinking of adopting a son!

"No, I don't agree. If they dare to adopt from the orphanage, I'll send the child back to them."

Lin Mingyue snorted, and Zhang Wenzhong cleared his throat and said, "It's normal for the older generation to have the idea of ​​carrying on the family line."

"And you?"

Lin Mingyue glared at her coldly and questioned, "Do you share this thought?"

Seeing her pale face, Zhang Wenzhong didn't dare answer, even though that was what he was thinking. "A normal person would have that thought..."

"What's normal about it?!" Lin Mingyue started arguing with him. Seeing that she still had a fiery temper, Lin Zhaoyue quickly spoke up to persuade her, "These are all just your guesses. Your aunt didn't directly tell you that she was going to adopt. Maybe you're overthinking it."

Hearing this, Lin Mingyue calmed down. "I hope I'm overthinking it. Anyway, if something happens, you have to be on my side."

Lin Zhaoyue smiled helplessly. Everyone has different ideas, and what power does she have to influence other people's thoughts?

After Lin Mingyue and Zhang Wenzhong got out of the car, Lin Zhaoyue instructed the driver to drive back to school. Today, they arrived at school almost an hour later than usual.

She entered the research institute and changed her clothes around 11 a.m. Liao Ping didn't say anything when he saw she was late.

“Zhaoyue, you arrived late and didn’t hear what I told them. Let me repeat it to you,” Liao Ping said calmly. “Put your research on hold for now. You need to fully cooperate with the clinical trials of ‘Qingxin Pill’ that have just been completed. If there are no problems, the next step is to contact the pharmaceutical company for mass production.”

"Okay." Lin Zhaoyue's current medical research is not progressing much and can be temporarily put aside at any time. She will prioritize Professor Liao's arrangements.

'Qingxin Pill' is a heart medication that stabilizes the heart and blood vessels and can achieve good results in a short period of time. Currently, there are very few heart medications available on the market. Once Qingxin Pill appears, it will benefit many heart disease patients and address common heart problems among the elderly.

The research of a class of drugs requires several years, or even more than a decade, of research by scientists, and involves the hard work and dedication of the pharmaceutical research team.

Zhang Fuyi has been involved in this research for three years. He is the main person in charge, and there are several other junior students. They are all graduates of medical university. Lin Zhaoyue has the lowest academic qualifications among them so far.

Throughout the entire medical research institute, everyone focuses more on their own research and doesn't pay much attention to networking.

Lin Zhaoyue was directly assigned to the 'Qingxin Pill' medical research group by Professor Liao, which immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the other members of the group.

However, they would not say it to Professor Liao's face, to avoid offending him.

Lin Zhaoyue was openly vying for "honor"; they wanted to give her a share of the results of their hard work.

Zhang Fu greeted Lin Zhaoyue with a smile, "Junior Sister Zhaoyue, it's our honor to welcome you to our group."

"It should be my honor." After Professor Liao left, Lin Zhaoyue had a detailed discussion with Zhang Fuyi about the efficacy and other side effects of the 'Qingxin Pill'. The last step left was the clinical trial.

Clinical trials are trials conducted directly on patients to test how effective a drug is at treating them.

The patients had all signed "free medical care" applications with the school in advance. There are some patients in this world who cannot afford medical treatment but still want to live, so this is the only way.

Zhang Fu led Lin Zhaoyue and the others over, briefly explained the medication to the patient, and instructed the nurses to administer 'Qingxin Pills' promptly if the patient experienced chest discomfort or other heart problems, and to notify them immediately.

They stayed in the ward until the afternoon. Lin Zhaoyue and her team were conducting research on cardiac drugs. The first step was to understand the discomfort of heart patients in order to address the problem effectively.

This wasn't Lin Zhaoyue's first visit; she was in charge of the clinical trials for the drug she developed last time.

Fortunately, the treatment was effective, which allowed it to be successfully marketed and benefit patients.

"Sister Zhaoyue!"

The heart patients range in age, but the one who impressed Lin Zhaoyue the most was Yue'er, a little girl who was about the same age as her younger brother Xiaobao.

She has congenital heart disease, and due to the complexity of her condition, surgery was not an option. She was abandoned by her family at a young age and was later sent to an orphanage.

If it weren't for free medical care, I probably wouldn't be alive today.

Yue'er is sweet and well-behaved, and Lin Zhaoyue always spends a long time with her whenever she comes over.

"Hmm? Have you been taking your medicine obediently lately? Have you been listening to the nurse?"

“Yes,” Yue’er grinned, “Sister Zhaoyue, you haven’t come to see me for so long, I’ve missed you!”

"Sister Zhaoyue is working hard on research, hoping to develop a drug that can directly cure your heart disease, so that Yue'er will no longer have to suffer from heart disease."
