Lu An Ning slapped the coffee table with his palm. An Li held Lu An Ning's hand with a pained look and examined it carefully.
"You kid, it's all in the past, and you're still taking it to heart. It's not good for your health."
"mom!"
Lu An Ning didn't know what to say to comfort his mother, so he could only hug her and let her feel his heartache for her.
"From now on, my brothers and I will never let anyone bully you again."
An Li's voice trembled slightly as she patted Lu An Ning's back lightly, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"I know, you are all good children of your mother."
An Li's tone was calm, but Lu An Ning couldn't bear to think about how his mother had survived those years of being locked up. If it were someone else, anyone with a little more vulnerability would have gone crazy long ago.
Only at this moment did she realize that being too talented could actually be a mistake.
"We both studied medicine, and aren't you the adopted daughter of the Gu family? How could he be jealous of you for that?"
"Gu Zhiwei's medical talent is far inferior to mine. With this comparison, your master's father, your grandfather, began to feel dissatisfied with him. After all, he is the heir of the Gu family, and your grandfather naturally hoped that the Gu family's secret skills could be passed on to him. Unfortunately, he lacks talent and is only focused on making money by selling medicine. Your grandfather is a noble man at heart."
Gu family medical teachings: A doctor must be kind-hearted and must prioritize saving lives and healing the wounded, and must not be obsessed with money and benefits.
However, Gu Zhiwei had the exact opposite idea.
"Actually, we can't blame him at first. Not everyone is grateful. Your grandfather was too kind, so he was easily bullied by some unscrupulous people. Even with his superb medical skills, he was bullied sometimes. Gu Zhiwei is different. He is competitive and courageous, and he only wants to make the Gu family bigger and stronger. Objectively speaking, without him, there would be no Gu family's great fortune today."
An Li's evaluation of Gu Zhiwei was objective, without any personal feelings. She acknowledged his contributions to the Gu family, but his completely different attitude towards his mother was truly disheartening.
"Even if he was making money to gain a foothold and prevent the Gu family from being bullied, he shouldn't resort to any means necessary, and he certainly shouldn't have treated you like this."
"It's all in the past! I don't want to talk about those things anymore. Now, they still want to control me, but it's not that easy. After all, I have four sons, a daughter, and a great son-in-law. Thinking about it this way, I should be the happiest person in the world."
Lu An Ning was reluctantly amused by An Li and leaned into her arms coquettishly.
"I will do my best to help you realize your wish. Don't you want to collect all the ancient recipes? Mr. Tang still has half of a recipe in his hand, which I bought at the auction. If I find the remaining half, I will give it to you for research. Maybe it can benefit everyone."
"Second Master Tang has already sent me the incomplete recipe. However, right now I want to complete the new project first. The research and development is progressing much more smoothly than I expected. Perhaps we can succeed in the second half of this year."
"So fast? Doesn't it take a long time to develop a new drug? It also requires clinical data to support it."
An Li smiled. "That's what Western medicine says, but I use an ancient formula that emphasizes the essence of various herbs. Herbs picked in different environments and periods, and then boiled in different ways, have completely different effects. The reason we need to study them is because the ancient formulas are obscure and difficult to understand. Even if we had a complete formula, we would have to verify it one by one, let alone a fragmented one. As for the clinical data..."
An Li has never stopped treating patients abroad. The clinical data she has is enough to support her in developing new drugs for market. When the time comes, families with terminally ill patients will be able to regain hope.
"As for Gong Shaohua, I only found out yesterday that the reason he rushed back was because Gong Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary of the Gong Group, had been engaged in anti-cancer drug research for six years and had not made any new progress. It just so happened that he heard the news about me in Kyoto at this time, so he followed me back."
Lu Anning suddenly realized. She had previously wondered if the Gong family, with its immense power, could have returned long ago, without having to wait until now. It turned out his real goal was the ancient recipe in his mother's hands.
"I understand. From now on, I will never believe what the Gong family father and son say again."
An Li knew Gong Shaohua's character very well and was worried that he would attack people around him, so she repeatedly told her not to confront Gong Shaohua head-on no matter what happened.
"Gong Shaohua is willing to do anything to achieve his goals. You are too young and no match for him. You must be cautious in everything you do. If you are unsure, consult with Jing Yuan."
"I see."
An Li personally sent Lu An Ning to the gate of the base, watched her car drive away, and then went back.
Lu Anning also understood that since she had openly rejected Gong Ming, the Gong family father and son would definitely not let it go and might even come looking for her again.
If the father and son dare to come again, she will definitely not be polite.
However, for the next few days, Lu Anning's surroundings became quiet. Not only did Gu Zhiwei stop bothering him, but even the Gong family father and son hadn't made any noise.
Lu Anning wondered, did they just give up like that?
This tranquility lasted until the clinic's grand opening. It was an auspicious day, and everyone arrived early to prepare for the opening. The eye-catching plaque was still covered with red silk, waiting for An Li to unveil it personally. The entrance to the clinic was filled with all kinds of precious flower baskets, a festive atmosphere.
Luxury cars came and went in an endless stream, and those who came were all big names from various industries. Some had business dealings with the Tang family, and more were attracted by An Li's status and hoped to get an appointment to see An Li. If that didn't work, getting an appointment with Gu Yu would also be good.
You know, in the past, they would never have had the opportunity to see these two big names in the medical field in person.
Due to An Li and Gu Yu's fame, the entrance of the clinic was already crowded with people, and many of them were reporters vying to capture this grand scene.
Those apprentices who passed the exam looked at the bustling scene in front of the clinic and couldn't believe their eyes. Is this the strength of a famous doctor?
The auspicious time was approaching, and An Li and Gu Yu came out amid everyone's anticipation. After a brief opening speech, An Li and Gu Yu walked to both sides and pulled down the red silk at the same time at the host's prompt.
On the fine mahogany plaque were written a few large and casual characters: Renxin Hall. This was exactly An Li's original intention of studying medicine, and it was also the medical training passed down by the Gu family. There was thunderous applause at the scene, and reporters couldn't wait to capture this wonderful moment.
Lu Anning stood beside Tang Jingyuan and breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that someone would choose today to cause trouble, but fortunately, everything went well.
When everyone was happy, the phone in Lu Anning's arms rang.
She walked over to the side and picked up the phone. Zhong Ling's anxious voice came to her ears: "Oh no! Mr. Lu, there's a problem on the production line."
