"Thank you for letting me know."
Zi Xi changed the man's medicine without making a sound, and gave him some extra pills to regulate his body, giving him instructions.
The man left, thanking him profusely.
Zi Xi sat alone in the simple consultation room, her eyes becoming incredibly sharp.
She must be more careful and increase her power and status in the Yun family more quickly.
Only by standing at a high enough vantage point can one see the big picture and have enough leverage to face even more powerful enemies.

Despite the strong opposition from the doctor and his grandfather, Shen Li insisted on being discharged from the hospital and boarded a private plane to City A.
His pale face was flushed with a sickly redness, and his eyes shone with an extreme, obsessive madness.
Even if that blurry figure is just an illusion, he will grab it with his own hands.
Even if what follows is even more complete destruction.
To celebrate the successful signing of an important multinational project, the Yun family hosted a grand banquet at their luxurious hilltop villa.
As a member of the family handpicked by Old Master Yun, Zi Xi stood quietly on the edge of the relatively secluded terrace of the banquet hall, wearing a moon-white evening gown chosen for her by Yun Mu.
The elegant cut of the gown accentuated Zi Xi's slender figure, giving her a cool and aloof demeanor that made her stand out from the glittering socialites around her.
She wasn't comfortable in this kind of setting, but in order to gather more information, especially to observe Yun Yifei's social network in top circles, she had to be there.
A slight commotion arose at the other end of the banquet hall entrance.
The crowd seemed to be parted by an invisible hand, automatically making way for each other.
Shen Li walked in.
He wore a tailor-made black suit that accentuated his tall but slightly slender figure.
His face was still sickly pale, but his lips were as red as blood.
He exuded a cold aura that kept strangers at bay, but his deep eyes swept across the entire room without focusing on anything.
He was invited by a representative of a branch of the Qin family that had a cooperative relationship with the Yun family.
The purpose was to ease the tension caused by his previous outrageous business tactics.
Of course, no one can really force him; he has his own purposes.
Take a look at the figure in that blurry photo.
His cold, stern gaze mechanically swept across each face.
Just as his gaze was about to sweep across the direction of the terrace, it suddenly froze.
At the edge of the terrace, there was that slender figure in a moon-white dress.
Although she was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a completely different temperament, the contours of her profile and the lines of her neck were striking.
It's so similar, so incredibly similar!
His heart, heavy with anger, felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and suddenly contracted.
Blood seemed to rush to his head instantly, making his vision go black.
Shen Li took a step forward almost instinctively, staring intently in that direction.
The lifelessness in his eyes was replaced by an extremely intense, almost manic inquiry.
Seemingly sensing the overly intense and dangerous gaze, Zi Xi turned her head slightly.
My gaze cut through the bustling crowd and met that crazed look in the air.
For a split second, Zi Xi's heart skipped a beat.
Those eyes were filled with madness and obsession, yet also with pain and despair.
But it also carries an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Zi Xi was certain that she had never seen this handsome yet pale face before, nor had she ever met a man with such a dangerous and powerful aura.
But in the instant their eyes met, a faint, bittersweet flutter of emotion spread through her, so fast that Zi Xi couldn't even grasp its source.
Who is he, and why is he looking at her like that?
Shen Li was also scrutinizing her.
It's similar, yet not quite.
The photo was blurry, but the person in front of me was crystal clear, looking exactly like Xixi.
Yet she doesn't resemble Xixi at all.
