Yan Yinran had just gotten off the plane and was running with her suitcase when she hurriedly got into the car, rushing back to the Yan family villa. She was filled with anxiety the whole way, wondering what her parents' plans were. She decided to wait for them to tell her; she'd better pretend she didn't know anything. Otherwise, if she betrayed Aunt Hui, no one would be there to inform her later.
Yan Yinran had been plotting her own scheme the whole way...
Yan Family
Yan Yinran was pulling her suitcase and preparing to go inside. Ahui had already received her message and was waiting at the door. When she saw Yan Yinran return, she quickly took the luggage and followed behind her.
"Miss Ranran, you're finally back."
Yan Yinran ignored her and strode into the living room. She saw Yan Youting and Li Shuwen drinking tea and pretended to call out to them in a coquettish manner.
"Dad, Mom, I'm home."
As he spoke, he opened his arms to embrace Yan's mother.
Li Shuwen was a little surprised to see her. In previous years, she would not come back until it was almost time for school to start.
"Ranran is back so soon? How come you're back after only a few days of playing?" Li Shuwen hugged Yan Yinran back.
Yan Yinran continued to act coquettishly.
"I miss you and Daddy~ Doesn't Mommy want me to come back?"
The sarcastic remark startled Li Shuwen, who paused for a moment, then remembered the matter of taking her back to the Bai family. She smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"How could that be? You are Mom's precious daughter."
Li Shuwen looked at her with eyes full of doting affection, after all, this was the daughter she had truly loved for so many years.
Yan Youting shook his head helplessly and laughed, "You're so old and you're still acting like a child with your mother, haha."
Yan Yinran let go of Li Shuwen and started to act coquettishly towards Yan Youting again.
"No matter how old she is, she's still your daughter~" she said, shaking Yan Youting's hand.
"You really are a child!" Yan Youting tapped Yan Yinran's forehead.
When Li Shuwen saw her daughter return, she happily ran to the kitchen.
"Ah Xiu and Ah Hong, make a few more of Ranran's favorite dishes tonight."
She also reminded him, "Ah Hui, clean Ranran's room."
The three nodded in agreement, "Yes, madam."
Li Shuwen returned to the living room. "Ranran, you're jet-lagged from flying back from the US. Go upstairs, wash up, and rest. I'll have Ahui call you for dinner."
Yan Yinran was pleased that her parents did not mention the matter.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, I'm going upstairs to rest now."
He then went upstairs, opened the door, took off his shoes, and collapsed onto the bed.
After Yan Yinran went upstairs and confirmed that he had heard the door close, Yan Youting discussed it with Li Shuwen.
"Wen'er, Ranran is back now, so shouldn't we find a time to tell her the truth?"
Li Shuwen is also considering this matter. Although she is extremely reluctant, her father is still alive, and she should be allowed to return to her ancestral home. This is the most basic moral bottom line, otherwise she will have regrets for the rest of her life.
“There have been a lot going on lately, and Luo Luo just got back. I’m afraid if we tell Ran Ran right away, she’ll think we’re trying to kick her out now that we have a biological daughter. After all, she’s a child we’ve raised for eighteen years…”
Li Shuwen was extremely distressed, her eyes filled with worry.
Yan Youting thought for a moment, "How about this? Let's put this aside for now, and wait until Dad's treatment plan is finalized and the treatment is completed before we find a better time to talk to Ranran."
"Okay, that's the only way."
Li Shuwen stopped thinking about it, picked up the flowers next to her, and began to arrange them.
Li Shuwen loves flower arranging and often does it when she has free time, while Yan Youting continues to drink tea on the side.
"I wonder how well Luo Luo's doctor friend is doing with the treatment plan, and whether there's any possibility of avoiding surgery."
Yan Youting couldn't help but worry, after all, two days had passed and there was still no news.
"Don't worry, we should trust Luo Luo and her friends. They will definitely find a solution."
Li Shuwen trusted her daughter a lot because she saw determination in her eyes at the time, which gave her a sense of security.
Given the current situation, everyone can only wait for news at home and can't easily call Yan Xiluo to ask about the situation. Yan Xiluo had said before leaving that she was going out to run errands, and she seemed to be in a hurry when she left.
A few hours later
On the other side, at the airport!
Yan Xiluo, after a flight of more than ten hours, finally landed safely.
After getting off the plane, Yan Xiluo, carrying a backpack full of live tongcao (a type of herb), hailed a taxi and headed straight for her laboratory.
Now she needs to hurry up and prepare the medicine as soon as possible, because the medicine needs to be simmered for twelve hours, and it must be simmered over a low flame. She must keep an eye on it and not make any mistakes, otherwise the efficacy will be unstable. Time is very tight, and she only has fifteen hours left. She only has one living tongcao plant.
On the way there, Yan Xiluo dialed Dr. Ling's phone number. She had gotten Dr. Ling's phone number when she was getting her medical report.
"Hello, Dr. Ling, this is Yan Xiluo." Yan Xiluo greeted him politely.
"Sixth Miss?" Dr. Ling asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's me. I wanted to ask if Grandpa's condition is stable now?"
"Sixth Miss, she just had a check-up this morning, and her condition is still stable."
"Okay, keep a close eye on it, and call me immediately if there are any problems."
"clear."
Yan Xiluo then hung up the phone and sent a text message to A Bing, asking him to take out all the medicinal herbs needed and weigh them in advance.
Upon arriving at the laboratory, Yan Xiluo quickly changed into protective clothing and prepared for sterility.
"Bing, hurry up too. Come in with me in a bit. There can't be any mistakes in the drug development process. You can go in and help me out, and learn how to make the drug."
"Yes, boss!"
Ah Bing quickly changed into protective clothing and prepared for sterility before following Yan Xiluo inside.
This time, the medicine was being developed for the first time, not only for A Bing but also for Yan Xiluo.
To save time and ensure sterility during the pharmaceutical process, without distraction or mistakes, Yan Xiluo had already memorized the pharmaceutical method during the flight.
The two then worked together to make the medicine, cleaning all the herbs. The first ten hours were spent decocting other herbs, and the last two hours were for adding the herb Tongcao. The other herbs could only play an auxiliary role, while Tongcao was the most important ingredient.
Ah Bing felt sorry for Yan Xiluo, who had just gotten off the plane and was still jet-lagged, and repeatedly suggested that Yan Xiluo rest first, and that he would take care of her alone for the first five hours, but Yan Xiluo refused each time.
This isn't a matter of trust; it's something so important that she needs to be present throughout the entire process to feel at ease.
Furthermore, she was doing this to save her grandfather's life, so naturally she had to be even more attentive.
And so, Yan Xiluo and A Bing persevered for ten hours, waiting for the time to insert the living tongcao.
Yan Xiluo put the cleaned tongcao into the container for decocting the herbs. In the last two hours, she needed to stir the herbs constantly to allow their medicinal effects to evaporate and blend together. She also needed to prevent the herbs from burning at the bottom of the pot, otherwise the whole pot would be ruined.
The two took turns stirring the herbs continuously until they finally brewed the medicine. However, what they produced was a paste, which was not easy to take or preserve. Several more steps were needed to make it into pills.
The two continued to work together, and soon, in half an hour, they had turned the ointment into pills.
Yan Xiluo took out a small, sterilized white bottle and filled it with all the medicine. She then labeled the medicine with its name, the frequency of administration, and the dosage.
This pill needs to be taken for fourteen days to completely clear the blood vessels and prevent recurrence. It also needs to be taken in conjunction with auxiliary medications for a month to achieve a complete cure.
In addition, Yan Xiluo also prepared some medicine to regulate her body and packed it all up. Looking at the time, there were still two and a half hours left. It would take an hour and a half to get from here to the Yan family's old house, assuming there was no traffic.
