Chapter 548 A Plea
After finishing teaching Elder Lu and Lu Jian medical skills, Chen Xuan drove home.
In the evening, Su Yunxi worked overtime and returned close to nine o'clock. However, upon her return, her pretty face was filled with unconcealable joy.
Chen Xuan knew that Su Yunxi was not one to outwardly express her emotions. He put down his phone and asked curiously, "Yunxi, why are you so happy today?"
"It's all because of you."
Su Yunxi gazed at Chen Xuan with a smile. Nowadays, she even admired Chen Xuan.
Of course, she also admired herself. So many people had pursued her back then, yet she hadn't taken a liking to any of them. How could she have fallen for Chen Xuan?
Thinking back, even Su Yunxi found it incredible.
"Ah? Me?" Chen Xuan furrowed his brow.
Su Yunxi nodded and explained, "My friend just messaged me saying that the imperial prescription you gave has even better efficacy than the one previously developed, and it's also cheaper. The cost price is only eighteen yuan and fifty cents, which is merely one-tenth of the cost of the previous medicine."
"They're quite quick," Chen Xuan smiled, everything unfolding as he had expected.
That was a long-lost imperial prescription.
It was important to realize that although times were progressing and Western medicine was developing rapidly, traditional Chinese medicine was on the decline. Generally speaking, the older the prescription or skill, the more powerful it was, which was beyond doubt.
Su Yunxi smiled enchantingly, "According to the news, the Gu family has already held a press conference, preparing to release their new medicine in two months. In two months, there will be something to watch."
"With neither efficacy nor price on their side, how can the Gu family compete with the Su family?"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, gazing at the undulating mountain shadows in the dark night, a confident smile flashing in his eyes.
"By the way, has that message been released?" Chen Xuan suddenly asked.
Su Yunxi's eyes curved into a smile, "The message has been released. This time, they'll fall into the trap whether they want to or not!"
At this moment, a cheer also erupted from the Gu family!
Originally, through Elder Huang, the Gu family had learned that the Su family had obtained the imperial secret formula and felt uneasy. However, today they received news that the Su family's imperial secret formula experiment had failed, and they were naturally overjoyed!
Currently, the Gu family was eagerly anticipating the new medicine press conference in two months!
However, the Gu family likely didn't know that in two months, a good show awaited their downfall!
...
Regarding Chen Xuan's words, Shi Menglu harbored doubts about her face lasting only one day.
However, it was better to believe it than not to believe it, and Shi Menglu did not want to become an ugly mess.
Just as Shi Menglu mobilized her family's connections, and even the connections of the Su family in Kyoto, she decided to gather all the renowned physicians and hold an online consultation that evening.
Famous doctors from various regions diagnosed Shi Menglu's condition via video. To her dismay, not a single doctor could neutralize the poison. Furthermore, there was more bad news: just as Chen Xuan had said, according to the current progression of her condition, Shi Menglu's face could only hold out for one more day!
Shi Menglu fell into complete despair!
Could she only beg Chen Xuan today?
The next morning, as Chen Xuan was strolling outside, he suddenly received a call from Su Yunxi.
"I have something to do tonight. Can you accompany me for dinner?"
Su Yunxi's voice came through the phone.
"Sure."
Chen Xuan didn't think much of it and agreed.
In the evening, when Chen Xuan felt it was about time, he drove to Longhu Hotel.
"Hey, hey, hey, open the door!"
As soon as Chen Xuan parked his car in a parking space, someone suddenly started banging on his car window.
He looked.
A heavily made-up noblewoman, appearing to be in her late thirties, stood indignantly outside the door.
She was dressed in designer clothes, and behind her was a Range Rover. She was clearly wealthy.
"What's the matter?"
Chen Xuan unbuckled his seatbelt, jumped out of the car, and frowned at the noblewoman banging on his window.
"Are you blind! Didn't you see this is my parking spot!" The noblewoman put her hands on her hips, her neck craned, speaking domineeringly.
Chen Xuan's brow twitched. He glanced at the Range Rover behind the noblewoman and seemed to recall something.
Earlier, this woman had been in front of him. Her parking skills weren't very good, and she had spent half the day trying to park in this spot without success. She then went to find other parking spaces. However, Chen Xuan had quickly pulled into this spot.
The noblewoman, unable to find a parking space in front, had come to confront Chen Xuan.
"This is a hotel parking space, not yours," Chen Xuan stated unceremoniously.
Towards an arrogant and overbearing shrew, Chen Xuan saw no need to save face!
The noblewoman was so furious that she almost couldn't catch her breath. "I'm very familiar with the owner of this hotel. Believe it or not, I can have you kicked out right now and blacklisted!"
"Oh really? I don't believe it!"
Chen Xuan, seeing that it was getting late and worried about Su Yunxi waiting too long, tossed this comment aside and turned to leave!
"You..."
The noblewoman's nose was practically crooked with anger. Seeing Chen Xuan walk away, she stomped her foot resentfully.
Soon, Chen Xuan followed the message Su Yunxi had sent and arrived at the private room. Besides Su Yunxi, he saw a familiar figure. Although the person was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, Chen Xuan still recognized her. This familiar figure was actually Shi Menglu!
The moment he saw Shi Menglu, Chen Xuan roughly understood what was going on.
It seemed Shi Menglu wanted Su Yunxi to act as a mediator.
However, Chen Xuan was a bit curious. Why would Su Yunxi act as a mediator for Shi Menglu? Could there be something he didn't know?
"Yunxi, if we're having dinner, why invite outsiders?"
Chen Xuan said with a smile, looking at Su Yunxi.
Chen Xuan's words were clearly pointed, and Shi Menglu naturally understood them, biting her lip.
Su Yunxi spread her hands helplessly, "Chen Xuan, please sit down first."
Chen Xuan nodded and sat down beside Su Yunxi.
Shi Menglu looked at Su Yunxi, her tone tinged with a hint of pleading, "Sister Yunxi, I was indeed blinded by greed. Please ask Chen Xuan to help me detoxify my face."
When Shi Menglu had last seen Su Yunxi, she had been arrogant and overbearing, treating Su Yunxi as a servant. But this time, she was practically worshipping Su Yunxi.
Su Yunxi was reluctant to help, but some matters were beyond her control.
She took a breath and looked at Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, why don't you just detoxify her?"
Chen Xuan smiled, "Detoxification isn't impossible. I set a condition earlier: I asked Shi Menglu to publicly apologize to the public and admit the truth about the escort incident."
Shi Menglu shook her head vigorously and flatly refused, "If I do that, I'm finished! I can't admit it!"
"You see, there's no room for negotiation here," Chen Xuan shrugged.
Upon hearing this, Shi Menglu quickly looked to Su Yunxi for help, "Sister Yunxi, you promised Auntie."
Su Yunxi was helpless and chose a compromise: "How about this, Shi Menglu, you find your own way to clear He Qionshi's name. You don't have to publicly admit you did it, so your reputation won't be ruined. However, you must personally go and apologize to He Qionshi."
Chen Xuan suppressed a smile and glanced at Su Yunxi.
Although Su Yunxi's words seemed to protect Shi Menglu and prevent her career from being ruined, asking Shi Menglu to personally apologize to He Qionshi was undoubtedly a huge humiliation for a proud woman like Shi Menglu.
