The Imperial Physician Hall had already issued a notice.
This trouble was caused by Sun Hongji, so he would be the one to resolve it.
If he couldn't resolve it, he was not to return to the Imperial Physician Hall.
Soon, over ten people came up with another solution.
Since Chu Fan couldn't be seen, they would proactively visit and beg for forgiveness.
The Nan family's old residence.
The Nan family members joyfully welcomed Qin Xue back.
Chu Fan could not appear for the time being, so he did not enter with them.
As soon as she sat down, Nan Xiuming said with a smile, "Little Xue, thank you for your hard work with this matter!"
The rest of the family members chimed in, their attitudes very amiable.
Facing the Imperial Physician Hall's targeting, the Nan family's response was not to find connections to resolve the issue, but rather to shrink their assets in the shortest possible time and minimize losses before the Imperial Physician Hall made a move.
Even when Qin Xue left with Chu Fan, Nan Xiuming had proposed that if the situation became too serious, the entire family would move out of Shan Hai City and live abroad or elsewhere.
While anxiously dealing with the situation, good news suddenly arrived.
The Nan family unanimously believed that Qin Xue had found a way to resolve the problem.
Nan Xiuming, as the elder, Qin Xue forced a smile and said, "I didn't do much, it wasn't hard work."
Nan Ziyun chuckled and asked, "Sister-in-law, I heard from Zi'an that you've connected with the Azure Dragon Consortium and will be cooperating with them fully from now on?"
"Yes!"
Upon confirmation, the Nan family's smiles deepened.
Nan Ziyun suppressed his excitement and continued, "The Azure Dragon Consortium is very powerful. Our Nan family must seize this opportunity to develop all our industries!"
"Within three years, we will undoubtedly become the number one in Shan Hai."
The people around them all excitedly agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes, we must seize the opportunity!"
"Becoming number one in Shan Hai is just around the corner!"
Qin Xue had not forgotten about the bet.
She stood up and said, "Please be quiet for a moment. I have something to tell everyone today."
To the Nan family, Qin Xue was now their hope.
The scene immediately became quiet, filled with anticipation.
"It's like this, given the recent complexities and that we had previously announced to the outside world, Zi'an and I have severed ties with the Nan family."
"For future development, Yuxue Pharmaceutical will no longer have any connection with the Nan family!"
"I plan to venture out with Zi'an!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.
They stared at Qin Xue, stunned, clearly not expecting her to do this.
They were all adults, how could they not understand what this meant?
Qin Xue had hitched herself to the mighty Azure Dragon Consortium and was now preparing to cast the Nan family aside and start anew.
"Sister-in-law, what, what does this mean?"
Nan Ziyun managed to speak, his voice strained.
It was also because Qin Xue's current status was extraordinary; if she had said this a month ago, he would have slapped her long ago.
"My meaning is very simple, I plan to start anew and develop!"
"The future development of Yuxue Pharmaceutical will have no further connection with the Nan family!"
Nan Zi'an looked astonished, he hadn't expected these words to come from Qin Xue's mouth.
However, considering his family's attitude towards Qin Xue, he suddenly felt that this was not a bad idea.
Every time something happened, they would let his wife bear the brunt of it, and Nan Zi'an felt caught in the middle.
But as a member of the Nan family, he could not have taken the initiative to suggest that Qin Xue start anew.
Instead, Qin Xue having this idea herself was quite fitting.
Therefore, he said nothing.
"Slap..."
A crisp sound echoed.
Nan Xiuming slammed his palm on the table.
"Qin Xue, do you know what you're saying?"
"If not for the Nan family all these years, would you have achieved what you have today?"
"Good, now that your wings are strong, you want to fly solo, don't you?"
"So, all these years, my Nan family has been raising an ungrateful wretch!"
The anger was not just Nan Xiuming's alone.
Everyone present, except Nan Zi'an, looked at Qin Xue with eyes completely different from before.
"Sister-in-law, please think carefully. Since you married into the Nan family, how has the Nan family helped you?"
"Now that you've developed, you want to kick the Nan family aside. Is it appropriate for you to do this?"
Anger flared in Nan Ziyun's narrowed eyes.
"Ungrateful wretch!"
"Wolf-hearted!"
...
All sorts of unpleasant words were spoken one after another.
In the past, subjected to such criticism, Qin Xue would have already had red eyes.
But now, she didn't feel any discomfort at all.
Indeed, people's hearts couldn't withstand such tests.
"Enough!"
Hearing his family's scolding, Nan Zi'an roared in anger.
He walked to Qin Xue's side, his eyes wide as he rebuked, "Little Xue is my wife, and you are not allowed to speak to her like this!"
"Her development did indeed utilize the Nan family, but you all know very well how the Nan family treated her before!"
"When trouble arises, you only think of transferring assets and letting her take the blame."
"During this time, did you ever consider whether she lived or died?"
Seeing Nan Zi'an not supporting the Nan family, but instead standing with Qin Xue, the Nan family members were astonished, and their eyes overflowed with even more intense anger.
"Beast, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Nan Xiuming trembled with rage.
"Zi'an, you've disappointed me too much!"
Nan Ziyun shook his head helplessly.
Since things had come to this, it was time to make a decisive break.
Nan Zi'an didn't care about anything else and retorted, "You've gone too far!"
"Since you believe that Sister Xue's development relies on the Nan family, we'll just give it back to you!"
"I don't believe that without the Nan family, we can't develop!"
Qin Xue's eyes were moist, and her gaze towards Nan Zi'an was filled with gratitude.
Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly separately.
Before coming, Qin Xue had been hesitant about whether to break ties, primarily because of Nan Zi'an.
She wasn't sure how Nan Zi'an would choose after she said this.
If Nan Zi'an chose the Nan family, they would then part ways amicably.
Fortunately, the final outcome did not disappoint her.
This man was worthy of her trust.
"Good!"
Nan Xiuming slammed the table again.
"Since things have been said to this extent, there's no room for recovery!"
"If you want to develop, then hand over everything you currently possess!"
"I'd like to see how you two, without the Nan family's support, will develop!"
Nan Zi'an looked at Qin Xue, clearly handing the decision-making power to her.
Qin Xue glanced at everyone's enraged faces and nodded, "Fine, I don't want Yuxue Pharmaceutical anymore either. Take it if you like!"
"However, the Po Xue Dan formula was provided by Xiao Fan, and I want to take it with me!"
"No!"
Nan Ziyun's eyes bulged with anger, "The Po Xue Dan originally belonged to Ouyang Pharmaceutical. It was acquired with money from Yuxue Pharmaceutical, so you cannot take it!"
Qin Xue hesitated slightly, then nodded, "Alright!"
With Chu Fan behind her and the Azure Dragon Consortium supporting them, their development was not solely dependent on the Po Xue Dan.
At this moment, having thoroughly seen the true colors of the Nan family, Qin Xue only wanted to completely sever ties with them.
Nan Zi'an and Qin Xue thus left the Nan family with nothing.
As the couple turned to leave, Nan Xiuming said dismissively, "I don't believe that without you, Qin Xue, the Nan family can't develop!"
Outside the old residence.
Chu Fan, who had been squatting by the door, saw his aunt come out and stood up to ask, "Aunt, wasn't I right?"
Qin Xue smiled wryly.
"Xiao Fan, your uncle and I have nothing now, we can only rely on you!"
Chu Fan laughed heartily.
"Aunt, don't worry!"
"Within ten days, I will let you regain everything you have!"
With the relationships clearly demarcated, it was time to make a move.
