Sheng Nanyin didn't notice his expression; she was busy tying his tie.
She said softly, "I'm going to the Lu Group in a little while."
Huo Beichen looked away.
She looked up at him with a sweet smile, "They seem to be in a hurry."
"The longer the poison in Yun Suiwan's body is delayed, the more difficult it will be to cure," Huo Beichen said in a low voice.
"Oh." She looked directly at him. "How did you and Miss Yun meet?"
Huo Beichen raised an eyebrow at her; her question had crossed the line.
Seeing that he remained silent, Sheng Nanyin continued, "Don't worry, I will help you win over Miss Yun."
"you?"
Sheng Nanyin nodded seriously.
Huo Beichen looked at her without saying anything. Why was she helping him?
Just then, Sheng Nanyin approached him, wrapped her arms around his waist, and looked up at him with eager eyes, "Beichen, I want to see Zeze."
Huo Beichen lowered his eyes to look at her and asked in a cold voice, "You've always wanted to get close to Zeze, what are your plans?"
“Uh…” Sheng Nanyin was taken aback by what he said. She stared at him blankly, not understanding what he meant.
Huo Beichen's thin lips curled slightly. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Do you think you can get into the Huo family just by getting close to Zeze?"
His voice was cold and laced with sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Nanyin smiled helplessly.
She said sweetly, "Beichen, you've misunderstood me. I know who I am. I'll behave and won't cause you any trouble."
She was always obedient and compliant in front of Huo Beichen.
That's why she's been able to stay by his side for so many years.
Huo Beichen pushed her away, loosened his tie, and looked somewhat indifferent.
He was extremely wary of Sheng Nanyin.
He has already given her enough money, but if she covets Mrs. Huo's position, he will show her what cruelty is.
Sheng Nanyin pursed her lips. "Oh, Beichen, I've been by your side for so many years, don't you know me? I know my own limitations. I'm not qualified to marry you, nor am I qualified to be Zeze's mother. I know all of this. I only have one small request: I just want to be able to see Zeze occasionally."
Sheng Nanyin's voice carried a hint of retreat and coquetry; she knew Huo Beichen's temperament well.
This man responds better to gentle persuasion than force.
Their social statuses were vastly different, and the initiative was entirely in his hands. She knew clearly what she should and shouldn't do.
Huo Beichen remained silent.
Sheng Nanyin tried to reach out and gently hook his fingers. Seeing that he did not refuse, she then grasped his fingers completely.
"Beichen, I will help you win over Miss Yun."
Huo Beichen grabbed her chin with his large hand.
She gasped softly; his grip was incredibly strong, showing no regard for her feelings.
"What exactly are you planning to do? What do you want from me?" Huo Beichen asked coldly.
"Ooh...it hurts..." Sheng Nanyin's face showed some pain.
Huo Beichen's face was gloomy, but he still let go of her.
"Ouch..." Sheng Nanyin rubbed her chin, looking at Huo Beichen with a mournful expression. "Beichen, I just wanted to help you."
Her tone was soft and sweet, as if she were taking the initiative to be affectionate.
She never hid her desires from him—cars, houses, bags, jewelry—whatever she liked, she would do everything she could to please him.
Just like last night, she learned some new tricks from somewhere and used them all on him, and I have to say, he seemed to enjoy them quite a bit.
"What do you want?" Huo Beichen asked again.
"I've got my eye on a villa by the river... but it's a bit pricey," Sheng Nanyin said, twisting her fingers a little embarrassedly.
He knew it.
This woman won't do anything without a reason.
He had seen right through her long ago.
"After it's done, contact Secretary Xu."
Huo Beichen said in a low voice.
Sheng Nanyin exclaimed in delight, "Wow, Beichen, you're so great!"
She excitedly tried to hug him, but he raised his hand to stop her.
"As for Zeze, I'll arrange for you to meet after I return to City C."
"good."
This is what she truly wants.
But it doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't matter what Huo Beichen thinks of her. She just needs to remember what she wants.
**
Lu's Group conference room.
Shen Xinghui placed a cup of tea next to Sheng Nanyin, saying, "Miss Sheng, please have some tea."
"Thanks."
Sheng Nanyin was wearing a white cheongsam today, her hair was up, and she wore light makeup, looking elegant and classic.
Her attire does suit her background as someone from a family of doctors.
"Miss Sheng, are you aware of the matter I inquired about before?"
At this moment, Lu Dongjue, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke up.
Sheng Nanyin smiled faintly at Lu Dongjue and said softly, "I have heard of the poison of the Hehuan. Those who are poisoned will have an attack every half month. If it happens on the night of the full moon, the attack may very well kill them."
"When the red spots on the palm of an infected person spread to the entire palm, then the infected person's whole body has already ulcerated, and then medicine is useless."
Hearing Sheng Nanyin's words, Lu Dongjue frowned.
"Do you have a solution?" Lu Dongjue asked again.
Sheng Nanyin's expression was serious; she seemed to be thinking deeply.
Lu Dongjue added, "Someone once said that as long as we find the wandering monk, he will have a way to cure this poison."
Sheng Nanyin smiled helplessly, "Does President Lu know who this wandering monk is?"
Lu Dongjue remained silent; he was unaware of this. During the search, he discovered Sheng Nanyin.
Sheng Nanyin comes from a family of doctors and is knowledgeable in medicine. I've heard that she also makes medicines herself.
"Mr. Lu, you may have been scammed."
"Impossible! They said only I could save her."
"The other party is too ruthless. He not only wants to harm you, but also Miss Yun. Mr. Lu, if I may be frank, you yourself suffer from a strange hereditary disease."
Lu Dongjue looked at Sheng Nanyin with a cold gaze. How could she know?
"You two getting together will only hasten the onset of her poisoning."
"What?" Lu Dongjue's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"The red spots on Miss Yun's palms are becoming more and more obvious, which is proof. If you were to have sex with her again when she has a relapse, the consequences would be even more serious."
"..."
At this moment, Lu Dongjue fell completely silent.
"Then...do you have a way to solve this?" Lu Dongjue's voice suddenly became low.
"I have no choice."
Lu Dongjue's eyes turned lost.
Sheng Nanyin continued, "There is someone who has the antidote."
"who?"
"Huo Beichen of the Huo family in City C".
Lu Dongjue and Shen Xinghui exchanged a glance.
How could he possibly have the antidote?
"The medicine of aphrodisiac has two aspects, yin and yang. To cure this poison, we must use the luminous pearl of the East Sea and the thousand-year-old snow lotus. And these two treasures are only possessed by the Huo family."
Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue immediately perked up and said to Shen Xinghui, "Go contact Mr. Huo!"
"yes."
"Wait a minute," Sheng Nanyin said, stopping them.
"Mr. Lu, are you looking to ask for these two treasures?"
"Um."
"The East Sea Pearl and the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus are both family heirlooms of the Huo family. Huo Beichen is not yet the head of the Huo family, so he is not qualified."
Lu Dongjue's expression changed. What should he do?
