As Lin Rui’s voice fell, another person walked out of the bathroom.
The man was probably in his fifties, with very short hair that was slightly graying, and about one meter seventy-eight tall, with a robust physique. If you looked closely, you could find that this middle-aged man bore a forty to fifty percent resemblance to Lin Rui.
"What, did things not go well?" Chapters fırst released on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Rui lying on the bed with some displeasure.
Feeling the anger in the middle-aged man’s eyes, Lin Rui immediately became fidgety, speaking in a flustered manner.
"Third Uncle, you can rest assured, I, I still have other ways to deal with my uncle’s family."
"I will definitely help you take over Grandfather’s position and become the new chairman of Lin’s Pharmaceutical."
The middle-aged man before him was called Lin Haitang, the third son of the Lin family, and also Lin Yanran’s third uncle.
Seeing Lin Rui bowing and scraping, Lin Haitang’s expression relaxed a lot.
"Forget it, I won’t hold this matter against you. We’re here to take care of important business today, kneel down."
Lin Rui obediently complied.
Lin Haitang commanded as if he were training a dog.
He knelt on the ground, crawling forward.
Lin Haitang’s eyes shimmered with a triumphant smile, then he proceeded to pull Lin Rui’s suit tie, much like leading a dog on a leash, with Lin Rui cooperatively moving closer.
Inside the Qingshan Town branch of Hundred Herbs Hall, all the miscellaneous affairs had been dealt with.
Zhang Xiaoshan was invited into Lin Yanran’s office.
Lin Yanran’s office wasn’t large, but it was very clean and simple, filled with many plants and flowers.
It quite matched Lin Yanran’s temperament.
"Dr. Zhang, I really can’t thank you enough this time. If it weren’t for you, I would have been framed by that scoundrel Lin Rui."
While pouring water to express her gratitude to Zhang Xiaoshan, Lin Yanran also cursed Lin Rui vehemently.
"These aristocratic family disputes indeed give people a headache, lucky for me I’m a poor man," Zhang Xiaoshan said with a chuckle.
"And, you don’t need to call me Dr. Zhang, I’m just a village doctor, the folks in the village all call me Little Shan. If you don’t mind, you can call me Little Shan too."
"Hehehe," Lin Yanran smiled warmly.
"Alright, from now on I’ll call you Little Shan. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, why did you suddenly come today? Did you find any trace of Red Sun Grass?"
Her eyes brimmed with anticipation.
Zhang Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment, then denied.
"Red Sun Grass isn’t so easy to find. I’m still trying. I came today, actually, because I’m short on cash and wanted to sell some other medicines to you."
Lin Yanran couldn’t hide her disappointment.
Elder Li, who stood by, spoke up to comfort Lin Yanran.
"Miss, the Red Sun Grass is essentially an extinct herb, finding it is extremely difficult. We can only rely on fate; there’s no need to be too sad."
Lin Yanran’s voice was filled with a sorrowful tone as she spoke.
"But Grandfather’s condition is getting more and more serious, if we don’t find Red Sun Grass soon, he might..."
Looking at Lin Yanran , Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart softened.
He had already obtained the Red Sun Grass. He had previously denied it because the situation in the Lin family was not good, with severe infighting. Red Sun Grass, being so valuable, should definitely come with a substantial return if he were to reveal it. He originally wanted to use it to forge a connection with the Lin family, but it seemed not as straightforward as he thought, and it could even provoke other members of the Lin family, given that there seemed to be more people wishing for Elder Lin to die than to live.
Moreover, Red Sun Grass is too rare and invaluable, keeping it might be far better than giving it away.
But now, seeing Lin Yanran’s weepy look, he still felt pity.
He decided to keep observing the situation in the Lin family.
"Actually, it’s not entirely hopeless. When I was searching in the mountains, I found an environment suitable for the growth of Red Sun Grass. However, the mountain range is too vast, it’s difficult for me to completely search it in a short amount of time. Here’s what, I’ll go back and look some more."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yanran, who was crying, excitedly hugged Zhang Xiaoshan.
