Shen Junqing received the message and quickly replied, saying that he could make it. Then, he proudly took a screenshot of the message Nan Yan had sent and sent it to Qin Lu.

“See, Yan Yan still cares about me, her third brother. She invited me to her place for dinner!”

Coincidentally, Qin Lu had just replied to Nan Yan’s message when he received Shen Junqing’s ‘show-off’ message. He scoffed and calmly took a screenshot of the message Nan Yan had sent him, sending it back to Shen Junqing.

Shen Junqing’s smug expression disappeared instantly, and he fell into silence.

Qin Lu, that bastard!

In the evening, both Qin Lu and Shen Junqing arrived at the An family’s old mansion almost simultaneously. Nan Yan had been busy in the pharmacy, preparing medicine. She didn’t come downstairs until it was time for dinner.

The two of them were engaged in a pleasant conversation with Old Master An.

It seemed that the three of them were getting along harmoniously.

When she finally came downstairs, Old Master An, with a smile on his face, asked, “Yan Yan, are you done with your work?”

Nan Yan walked over to him and said, “There’s one more thing after dinner.” “Sure, no rush. Let’s eat first,” he replied.

Old Master An liked having a lively atmosphere, so he stood up with a cheerful smile and called everyone to the dining table.

During the meal, with Shen Junqing and Jiang Nai helping to set the mood, the atmosphere was joyful. Old Master An was delighted and ate half a bowl more than usual.

After dinner, Qin Lu and Shen Junqing stayed for a couple more hours, and when they noticed that Old Master An was getting tired, they proposed to leave.

Once everyone had left, Nan Yan went back upstairs and completed the final steps. She placed several longan-sized pills into a square-shaped medicine box.

After finishing her preparations, she cleaned up and sat cross-legged on the bed, opening her laptop. She hadn’t visited the Dark Realm for a few days, and she still hadn’t received the commission for the A-level mission she had completed.

Upon logging in, her message box began flashing continuously. She opened it, and it was a chat message from Fu Linfeng.

Most of his messages were asking her if she was online and when she would be available. Fu Linfeng seemed very anxious, leaving messages for days without receiving a response. He was growing increasingly worried, especially considering his older brother’s dwindling supply of medicine.

Except for going to see Fu Yubai, he spent almost all day in front of the computer. He was afraid that Nan Yan would see his messages and reply before he could read them.

Nan Yan scrolled through her messages and replied with just two words: “I’m here.”

When Fu Linfeng heard the notification sound, he was instantly alert, his drowsiness disappearing. He hurried to check the profile picture of “Diving

Fish.”

As expected, she had replied!

He clicked on the profile picture and saw the two words, “I’m here,” causing him to almost shed tears.

Sniffing back his emotions, he quickly replied, “Did you brew the medicine yourself?”

Nan Yan replied, “Yes.”

Fu Linfeng asked, “Are you an alchemist?”

Nan Yan replied, “Obviously.”

Fu Linfeng apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to question you. I have a favor to ask, and I’m willing to pay any price to save my big brother.”

Nan Yan responded, “Send me your big brother’s medical case, and I’ll see if I can help.”

Fu Linfeng said, “Okay, I’ll send it right away!”

Fu Linfeng excitedly found Fu Yubai’s medical records and sent them to Nan

Yan.

Fu Yubai’s illness was very peculiar, and over the years, renowned doctors both domestically and internationally had examined him. However, no one could find a solution. They could only manage and alleviate his condition but couldn’t cure it.

If it weren’t for encountering “Diving Fish” on the Dark Realm and obtaining medicine from her, his big brother’s condition would have been even more dire this time.

Now, all his hopes rested on her!

Nan Yan quickly reviewed the medical records and typed on her keyboard: “The patient’s condition is very complex, and I need to diagnose and treat him in person. I’ll provide you with an address. Bring him here to check into the First Hospital.”

Fu Linfeng was hesitant and replied, “But my big brother’s condition isn’t suitable for moving. Can you come here? We’re willing to pay any amount for your consultation fee!”

Nan Yan responded, “I’ll give him some medication to prepare him for the journey. Once he’s ready, you can move him. I’m very busy and can’t make the trip.”

Fu Linfeng said, “Then… we’ll have to go with that…”

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he couldn’t let it slip away. Since the alchemist had said the medicine would enable his big brother to withstand the journey, it should be alright.

Upon hearing this good news, Fu Yubai nodded and said in a gentle tone,

“Alright, Jin City isn’t very far from Yun City. Let’s make the trip ourselves.”

If he could meet this doctor, he would be able to confirm whether she was his Junior Sister.

Fu Linfeng held his brother’s cold hand and said earnestly, “Big Brother, I believe she can cure you!”

“Mm…”

Early the next morning, Tang Tang went to the Lin residence.

At that moment, Lin Zhiyan had just finished breakfast and was taking a walk in the garden to aid digestion. Her health had improved considerably recently, and she was more willing to bask in the sunlight to make her complexion look better.

Suddenly, she saw someone entering, and her face couldn’t help but show a bit of panic.

“Who are you?”

Tang Tang removed the sunglasses from her face and said arrogantly and defiantly, “Lin Zhiyan, I’ve come to discuss a business deal with you.”

She wasn’t alone; there were also two bodyguards accompanying her.

These two bodyguards created a considerable sense of oppression for Lin Zhiyan, causing her complexion to turn somewhat pale.

“You’re Tang Tang?” Lin Zhiyan bit her lip. “What kind of business do you want to discuss with me?”

Tang Tang sneered disdainfully, “Is this how you want to discuss business with

“You’re not going to invite me in?”

Lin Zhiyan fell silent. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She didn’t really want to talk to Tang Tang, but Tang Tang’s identity as the little princess of the Tang family in the capital was not to be trifled with.

“Come inside with me,” Lin Zhiyan finally said.

Lin Zhiyan led Tang Tang and her two bodyguards into the living room.

Once inside, Tang Tang directly took a seat in the main chair, propping her legs up and removing her sunglasses.

Judging solely by her appearance, she was a rather attractive young woman. However, her thoughts were extremely malicious and dark.

Lin Zhiyan, suppressing the mental pressure and resistance brought on by her social anxiety, reluctantly asked, “What would you like to drink?”

“No need. Your household’s trash isn’t fit for my mouth,” Tang Tang replied arrogantly. “Xiao Jia, give her the contract.”

She flaunted her freshly done nails and shot Lin Zhiyan a sidelong glance, humming, “Once you’re done reading it and there are no issues, just sign it. Don’t waste my time.”

It was a contract.

The Tang family is willing to invest in the Lin family’s business and give the majority share to the Lin family. However, the conditions are that Lin Zhiyan not only needs to delete all of her artwork on her Weibo account and hand over the art she created to Tang Tang, but also has to publicly declare on Weibo that she plagiarized from Tang Tang.

Tang Tang wanted her to take the blame for all the scandals!

“You better think this through. You’re just an amateur with no online presence, and you don’t have many followers. Apologize, then step out of the limelight; it won’t have any impact on you.”

“With the Tang family’s investment, your Lin family’s business will have a tremendous opportunity. With Tang Tang’s support, it won’t be difficult for the Lin family to take it to the next level.”

“But if you don’t act sensibly….”
