Although Dongxue didn't understand why Xiao Yu was leaving with a suitcase, and she knew what had happened last night, it wasn't something she should care about.
After getting the key, she rushed into Xiao Yu's studio apartment.
At this moment, Shen Lang was fast asleep, completely naked.
Winter Snow called out softly a few times, but there was no response.
After checking him over, they found that Shen Lang was perfectly normal; he was simply in a deep sleep. Dongxue was no longer worried. She carefully dressed Shen Lang and then stayed by his side to watch over him.
In his dream, Shen Lang saw a young man standing in front of him, looking up at him.
When he pressed the young man for his identity, the young man disappeared.
Shen Lang also woke up from his dream.
I woke up at 7 p.m.
Seeing Shen Lang open his eyes, Dongxue hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Young Master, how are you?"
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
Recalling what happened last night, Shen Lang's face gradually darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "Where is Xiao Yu?"
Dongxue told Shen Lang about her meeting with Xiao Yu in the underground parking lot.
Upon hearing the news that Xiao Yu had run away with her luggage, Shen Lang instantly flew into a rage: "Find her! Find her by any means necessary! Dig three feet into the ground if you must!"
Shen Lang felt a sense of shame about what happened last night.
Although there was no loss for him, and Xiao Yu's looks were comparable to Yu Xian'er's.
However, he couldn't accept the fact that he had been drugged.
"Yes, young master."
Observing Shen Lang's mood, Dong Xue didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly took out her phone to contact people.
Shen Lang walked to the living room on the first floor and found that Xiao Yu had cleaned up the broken glass, but the traces of their affair last night were still clearly visible.
The entire room, from top to bottom and inside to outside, was permeated with the scent of hormones.
On the dining table was a meal that Xiao Yu had prepared in advance.
As Shen Lang looked at the food on the table, his anger grew.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Xiao Yu..."
Shen Lang ultimately didn't get to eat any of the food on the table.
Accompanied by Dong Xue, Shen Lang returned to Baiyun Manor with a gloomy expression.
Yu Xian'er and the others already knew about what happened last night.
Yu Xian'er said to Shen Lang, "Husband, please don't worry. We have already used all available means to find Xiao Yu's whereabouts. Besides, she is not an ordinary person, so she should be alright."
Shen Lang said, "Forget it, let's withdraw all our informants."
For someone like Xiao Yu who possesses the art of disguise, Shen Lang would only be able to recognize her if he stood right in front of her. Otherwise, given Xiao Yu's methods and her deliberate avoidance, finding her would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"What exactly do you want?" Standing by the artificial lake, Shen Lang frowned as he looked at the fish in the pond.
Among the many traders, Xiao Yu was the first person he felt he couldn't see through.
That ability to control all living beings disappeared from Xiao Yu's body.
Perhaps it was the humiliation brought to Shen Lang by being drugged that left him with a lingering sense of resentment that he couldn't shake off.
…………
In a small village not far from City X, a girl with an extremely ordinary appearance, short stature, and rough skin is busy tidying up her home.
Many villagers were also helping her inside the house.
"Auntie Zhe, you're not leaving now, are you?" An older woman was wiping the coffee table in the living room with a rag in her hand.
The woman, known as Sugarcane Girl, flicked her long hair at her temple with her right hand and smiled, "I'm not leaving for now."
"That's good, that's good," the woman said happily.
After everything was settled at home, Aunt Zhe cut a large watermelon and invited the people who had come to help to sit in the yard and eat together.
A group of women sat together, chatting and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.
It wasn't until late at night, after everyone had left, that the event continued.
Aunt Zhe lay on a cool chair, looking at the starry sky that could only be seen in the countryside, her expression very complicated.
Suddenly, a phone call came in.
Aunt Zhe answered the phone and said, "Dad."
"What's wrong with you? Where have you run off to again?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Before Aunt Zhe could speak, a middle-aged woman's voice came over: "Honey, you didn't run off to the wilderness again, did you? Come back quickly, don't make your mother worry."
Aunt Zhe smiled and said, "It's alright, Mom and Dad. Grandpa's health has improved now, so I'm just going out for a walk. You don't need to worry about me. When you have free time, go home and visit Grandpa more often."
"You brat, you still have the mind to relax? Your mother and I are so busy. When are you planning to come back and take over the company? Your mother and I have worked hard for most of our lives and built this business for you. We can't expect you to be the ones looking after your house forever," the middle-aged man scolded softly.
Aunt Zhe lay on the cool chair, glanced at her flat stomach, and smiled slightly: "Dad, then you'll have to wait another twenty years."
"Okay, that's all. I need to rest now. Goodnight, Mom and Dad."
After saying her last sentence, Aunt Zhe quickly hung up the phone.
Inside a villa at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, a middle-aged man dejectedly placed his phone on the coffee table and said to his wife beside him, "This girl has been led astray by her grandfather. All she thinks about all day is studying traditional Chinese medicine."
The beautiful woman beside him glanced at him and said, "I think the girl has chosen a better path than you. All you do is make money. Now you've made money, but your father and daughter are getting further and further away from you. Sometimes you should reflect on yourself. Have you gone too fast and too far down this path?"
The middle-aged man sighed: "Wife, you know how fierce the market competition is these days. Foreign companies are constantly trying to erode our market share. If we let our guard down, foreign companies will take over the market even more aggressively. That would be a devastating blow to both the domestic pharmaceutical industry and people's livelihoods."
The beautiful woman glanced at the middle-aged man's graying temples and said with heartache, "I know. Don't worry, I will always be with you."
A tycoon surnamed Ma once said something very true: When your wealth accumulates to a certain level, that money no longer belongs to you, but to society.
With great power comes great responsibility.
This classic saying is suitable for any profession or industry.
Especially those from traditional Chinese families like the Xiao family.
Although Xiao Jingshan's life choices were contrary to those of the Xiao family that raised him, he did not disgrace the Xiao family's reputation as a family of renowned physicians.
Huayu Pharmaceutical's Western medicines, traditional Chinese medicines, and herbal medicines are all considered high-quality, affordable, and highly effective by both industry professionals and the general public.
This is also why Xiao Jingshan's Huayu Pharmaceutical was able to stand firm when facing the impact of foreign capital on the market.
On the one hand, it was inseparable from the support of the Chinese people, and on the other hand, it was the silent support of the imperial court behind the scenes.
There are very few companies that remain unmoved by foreign investment and that can maintain their integrity all the time.
