"Indeed, it wasn't me who guided her. I don't have the ability to guide such a genius." Pharmacist Chen glanced at Madam Hang indifferently, clearly seeing that she still wanted to cause trouble.

"But as a pharmacist, I do have basic discernment abilities. Is this lady questioning my competence?"

"Well, who knows? After all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. You haven't even checked it..." Madam Hang's eyes flickered.

When Pharmacist Chen took the bottle of hair growth liquid, he only opened it, glanced at it, and smelled it. In Madam Hang's opinion, traditional Chinese medicine was mysterious and unpredictable, and she was afraid it might be a scam.

Her thoughts were written all over her face, a look of distrust that suggested Pharmacist Chen was protecting Xie Li.

Before Pharmacist Chen could even speak, Wu Jiang had already exploded.

"Who are you, and what gives you the right to question Chen Yao? Pharmacist Chen's skill level is already very close to that of an intermediate pharmacist. Do you know what that means?"

"You think Pharmacist Chen misjudged you? I think you're the one who's blind!"

Madam Hang looked frustrated. The fiercer Wu Jiang was, the more timid she became. Yet, she was also thinking about her son's instructions and was unwilling to give up so easily.

Just as she was worrying about how to make things difficult for him, her phone rang. Mrs. Hang looked down at the caller ID and was overjoyed!

"Hey, is that you, little sister? You finally called your sister-in-law! Did you hear the voice message I sent you? It was about the shampoo Chen Lian bought..."

"Dongxu used it, and something happened?" The voice on the other end was somewhat cold.

Mrs. Hang didn't take it seriously, assuming that Mrs. Shen had just finished a meeting and hadn't yet transitioned from her role as a female CEO.

"Absolutely! I was so worried, afraid something might happen to you while you were using it! I..."

“Sister-in-law!” Madam Shen interrupted her, “But my assistant clearly saw Dongxu having coffee with a girl just an hour ago.”

Mrs. Hang seemed to have been suddenly grabbed by the neck, unconsciously uttering a few syllables, unable to respond to anything.

“Dongxu is not sick, and I am perfectly fine,” Madam Shen said. “In fact, I am very healthy. After using that hair growth serum, I have a fine layer of hair growing on my forehead today. The effect is very good.”

"You said you were going to find someone to demand an explanation? Come back quickly, don't offend them too much..."

Mrs. Hang hung up the phone dejectedly, feeling a pang of regret that the money she had almost received was about to slip away.

Ding Huizhu was confused and wanted to ask more questions, "Mrs. Hang, was that Mrs. Shen who called just now...?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Madam Hang immediately remembered how arrogant she had been at the Xie family, and she could no longer sit still.

She hurriedly grabbed her handbag and headed out, her eyes darting around. "It was all a misunderstanding today. I'm sorry, I have to go now."

He completely ignored Ding Huizhu and slipped away as fast as he could.

This development left Ding Huizhu completely bewildered. She wanted to ask Xie Li what was going on, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

With the troublemakers gone, Xie Li felt the world was finally quiet. He yawned and said, "I'm going to rest now."

I'm so sleepy.

Pharmacist Chen had also heard that she had been refining medicinal herbs these past two days, so he didn't dare to stop her. He nodded and said, "Then I'll come to visit again later."

Xie Li had already turned and left, unaware of the change in his attitude, which had become extremely respectful, subtly implying that he regarded her as a senior.

Ding Huizhu, however, sensed it keenly and looked at Pharmacist Chen with suspicion.

However, it was clear that Pharmacist Chen would not offer any answers to her; Xie Li hadn't said anything, so he was even less likely to say anything more.

He then gave Ding Huizhu a faint nod and walked away.
