Xie Yi fell last.
From the moment he met Xie Mingzhu, his eyes were fixed on him. It was not until this moment, after Mr. Xie and Xie Xihe had left, that he spoke.
He asked the same question as Mr. Xie: "So, you are accompanying your brother Zhihuan to attend the Luo family's new drug launch conference?"
In the past, Xie Mingzhu had deep feelings for this half-brother, but after seeing him and Xie Xihe getting along as usual today, resentment surged uncontrollably in his heart.
Especially now he was talking to her in a questioning tone...
Xie Mingzhu was furious: "That's how you talk to your sister, Xie Yi, you should understand clearly, you and I are siblings from the same father and mother!"
Xie Yi sneered: "So what?"
So what?
Xie Mingzhu was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped him.
Xie Yi subconsciously wanted to dodge, but then he remembered something and gritted his teeth. He forced himself to not dodge and took the slap from her.
There was a crisp sound.
Xie Mingzhu's accumulated anger suddenly dissipated. She looked at Xie Yi coldly and said, "This slap is for my mother!"
"Mom loves you so much, and not only do you not stand up for her, but you're actually loving the very person who caused her to be in this situation. Xie Yi, check your conscience and ask yourself: are you worthy of Mom?!"
Xie Yi touched the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, his wolf-like eyes filled with wildness and rebelliousness, and retorted: "Shouldn't I ask you this?"
"Didn't you yourself propose to send Mom into a spiritual state..."
"Xie Yi!" A sharp shout interrupted Xie Yi's words. Xie Mingzhu's eyes were filled with panic. She turned to look at Sheng Zhihuan and said with a forced smile, "Brother Zhihuan, I have something to say to my brother. The press conference is about to start. Why don't you go up first?"
Sheng Zhihuan frowned, feeling something was wrong, but he didn't refuse him: "Okay."
But before he could leave, Xie Yi stopped him and said, "No, I don't have anything to say to her."
He wiped his red and swollen cheek with the back of his hand, his eyes full of indifference: "Xie Mingzhu, you slapped me on behalf of your mother, but I took it for you."
"Just think of it as paying you back for that slap you took from my mom three years ago."
"From now on, you go your way, and I go mine."
"Xie Mingzhu, remember, your last name is Sheng."
After saying this, he turned and left without a trace of nostalgia.
Xie Mingzhu was completely bewildered and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "What's wrong with you again? Are you sick?"
Xie Mingzhu was too lazy to pay attention to him. She turned to look at Sheng Zhihuan, but saw that his expression was a little stagnant and he was staring blankly at something.
Xie Mingzhu was puzzled for a moment, and subconsciously looked in the direction her gaze went.
The next moment, his pupils shrank.
Just to their right, at the spiral staircase of Yuanming Hotel, two huge posters stood on both sides.
Right: [Roche Pharmaceuticals New Panacea Release Conference, Location: Wangjiang Hall, 2nd Floor, Time: 3:00 PM, April 6, 2021...]
Left: [Xie's Pharmaceuticals New Product Launch: New anti-cancer drugs, whitening pills, scar repair creams, and mysterious new products will be launched soon. Please stay tuned. Location: Riverside Hall, 2nd Floor, Time: 3:00 PM, April 6, 2021...]
"...You were hit on Mom's behalf, but I took it on your behalf."
Xie Yi's words echoed in his ears again. Xie Mingzhu finally understood the underlying meaning of these words. His face turned pale and he even staggered.
How...how could this happen?
Why is Xie’s Pharmaceutical also holding a press conference today?
No wonder... No wonder Grandpa had that expression on his face. No wonder Grandpa left without saying a single word.
Are you angry with her?
But she didn't do it on purpose. No one told her that the Xie family was also holding a new product launch today, and no one asked her to attend the Xie family's launch...
Xie Mingzhu bit her lip, her eyes rolling in her sockets.
Sheng Zhihuan came back to his senses, and thinking about what he had said before, his face became a little hot, but he soon calmed down, coughed lightly and said: "Okay, it's almost time, let's go upstairs first."
Xie Mingzhu responded, paused, and couldn't help but said, "Then what about my family..."
Sheng Zhihuan frowned and sneered, "Did they say they would invite us to the Xie family's auction?"
"No."
"In that case, why should I join in the fun?"
Sheng Zhihuan was obsessed with the Luo family's new panacea and had no interest in the Xie family's whitening pills and scar repair creams. He said patiently, "If you feel embarrassed, go to the Xie family. The Luo family is only selling a limited number of twenty new panaceas today. If you go too late, they might be sold out. I have to go."
Xie Mingzhu thought about it for a few seconds before she put her arm around Sheng Zhihuan again and said sweetly, "Brother Zhihuan is right. The Xie family didn't invite us. If that's the case, there's no need for me to rush over."
She smiled shyly: "I'll accompany you."
What Sheng Zhihuan liked most was her being well-behaved and obedient. A look of satisfaction flashed across his eyes, and he finally took her upstairs.
The Xie family invited some media reporters, seven or eight in total, but they were nothing compared to the Luo family's lineup.
When the two of them went up the stairs, they saw that the entrance of Wangjiang Hall was crowded with reporters. Various flash lights were flashing non-stop. Everyone was swarming towards Luo Ruiyang and his son, constantly asking questions.
Luo Ruiyang kept smiling, avoiding any questions about the new version of the panacea. When the reporters had finished taking pictures, he said, "As for the difference between our new version of the panacea and the real one, we will answer them one by one when the press conference starts. Now, reporters, please make way. The guests are about to enter."
The reporters followed his gaze and discovered that a number of elegantly dressed men and women had gathered at the stairs, each of them a scion of a prominent family in Kyoto.
The reporters became even more excited.
However, due to fear of their identities, I did not dare to squeeze in for an interview and could only secretly take a few photos.
At this moment, someone suddenly recognized Xie Mingzhu and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that the granddaughter of Mr. Xie from Xie's Pharmaceuticals? Why is she here too? Isn't she also here to attend the Roche press conference?"
Someone immediately responded, "It really is her. Her name seems to be Xie Mingzhu, right? That can't be right. The Xie family's press conference is right across the street. She wouldn't leave her own press conference and go to the Luo family instead. Who in Kyoto doesn't know that the Luo and Xie families don't get along?"
"It's hard to say. After all, the Luo family released a new version of the panacea. Who can resist the temptation of a new panacea? Maybe Master Xie sent her to learn about the enemy situation?"
