The next day, Jiang Sese went to the hospital with Shang Ying after breakfast. Fang Xueman had not seen her daughter in a few days. When she saw her arrive, she was pleased and surprised. “Sese, you’re back.”Jiang Sese nodded. “Yes, I’m back.”She did not want her mother to worry about her. The last time she fainted, her uncle helped her lie and said she went travelling with her friends.Fang Xueman held her hand and examined her closely. She frowned and asked, “Why did you get thinner?”“Am I?” Jiang Sese looked at herself, but she did not feel thinner.“Third Sister, you make it sound like I’ve mistreated Sese,” Shang Ying said, pretending to be unhappy.“I didn’t mean that,” Fang Xueman quickly clarified, “Didn’t Sese just return from her travels? She must have not been eating well and sleeping well.”Shang Ying smiled. “I know, I’m just joking.”Jiang Sese smiled and hugged her mother’s shoulder. “Mom, don’t worry. Even if I am thinner, Aunty will make sure I gain back m
Shangguan Yuan arrived at her research lab. She changed into her white coat, then looked at herself in the mirror and curled her red lips.When it came to looks, she was not worse than Jiang Sese.When it came to capabilities, she was not worse than Jiang Sese either.However, why did Jin Fengchen only have Jiang Sese in his eyes?Whenever she thought about that, turbulence festered in her heart.She let out a deep sigh to relieve her frustration.“Shangguan Yuan, as long as you succeed in your antidote research, you will have a chance to win.”Shangguan Yuan said to herself and to cheer herself up. She took a deep breath and straightened her back with an upright posture. With a face full of determination, she turned around and left the changing room.For the whole morning, her research on the pathogen proceeded in an orderly manner.Shangguan Yuan extracted the pathogen and injected it into a lab rat. It was unusual. The lab rat died quickly after exposure to the pathogen.T
Shangguan Yuan put down her chopsticks partway through eating. Then, she picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully.She glanced at the man sitting opposite her.“Yuchen, do you really know why Director Jin went to Italy?”Fang Yuchen stopped moving. He swallowed the food in his mouth, then looked up at Shangguan Yuan. He smiled politely and said, “I just mentioned I don’t know. Moreover, this is his private business. I can’t ask too much.”“Then, can you…” Shangguan Yuan asked hesitantly, “Can you ask for me?”Fang Yuchen’s smile stiffened. He felt uncomfortable at her request.What did she think he was?Did she only want to use him to obtain information on Jin Fengchen?Shangguan Yuan realized Fang Yuchen’s expression was off. She went over the line. With an awkward smile, she said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have…”“It’s fine,” Fang Yuchen interrupted her. He took a deep breath, then said, “Yuanyuan, I’m Sese’s cousin. I can’t do anything that would hur
When Shang Ying went home that night, she informed Fang Teng and Fang Yuchen that Old Man Fang showed signs of waking up soon.“Mom, is that for real?” Fang Yuchen asked with doubt.“Of course. You can ask Sese too.”Fang Yuchen turned to look at Jiang Sese.Sese pursed her lips and smiled. She said in a very serious tone, “Cousin, it’s true. Grandfather’s fingers twitched. The doctor said he will wake up very soon.”When Fang Teng heard that, he said “That’s great!” repeatedly. His eyes turned red. Fang Yuchen’s eyes watered too. He took a deep breath and held back his tears. He forced a smile and said happily, “That’s great. Grandpa is waking up soon.”“Yuchen, you better solve the issues by tomorrow. Only then, you won’t disappoint your Grandpa’s expectations of you,” Fang Teng said solemnly.“Dad, I know.”Fang Yuchen believed he could conclude the issues well by tomorrow.Jiang Sese gripped her fist and cheered her cousin on, “Good luck, Cousin.”Fang Yuchen returned w
Master Yang’s voice pulled Fang Yuchen back to his senses.He looked at Fang Cheng, who kneeled in front of him. He frowned tersely and ordered in a deep voice, “Song Yao!”Song Yao heard his call and quickly went to Fang Cheng, trying to pull him up.However, Fang Cheng persistently refused to get up. “Yuchen, it’s all my fault. If you want to blame me, just do it. It’s not related to Yiming at all.”Fang Yuchen finally understood his intention. Fang Cheng planned to be the scapegoat for Fang Yiming.“Eldest Uncle, I’m younger than you. Why are you kneeling before me? Are you trying to ridicule me?” Fang Yuchen stared at Fang Cheng with an emotionless face.A hint of panic flashed across Fang Cheng’s face. He quickly shook his head and denied, “Yuchen, I don’t have that intention.”“Dad, get up. I believe Yuchen is a reasonable man. He won’t simply accuse others,” Fang Yiming said. However, his words were extremely ironic.Fang Yuchen could not help but smile, but his smile ne
Italy… In his effort to expedite the search of Professor Curry’s research laboratory, Jin Fengchen had Qisha help investigate Fu Jingyun’s whereabouts. He wanted to retrieve useful information from Fu Jingyun.One fine day, Fu Jingyun returned to his condominium as usual.As he pressed his finger on the smart lock, he glanced sideways and saw the man in black a few steps away from him.That was one of the men that Bo Gelian sent to monitor him.It was the price he paid when he joined Professor Curry’s research team. He had no more freedom and privacy.As he thought of that, frustration grew in his heart. He moved his hand, turned around, and stared at the man in black blankly.“Are you hungry?” he asked.“No,” the man replied.Fu Jingyun raised his brows and said, “If you’re hungry, go get something to eat. I’m not going anywhere.”The man in black stood there and did not move.Seeing that, Fu Jingyun had a slightly mocking smile as he said, “Forget it. Pretend I never sa
When Fu Jingyun headed out the next day, he saw the man in black still lying on the ground.He went over and kicked the man in black.“If you’re sleepy, you can go back home. You might catch a cold on the floor,” Fu Jingyun said and cast a glance at him before he strode to the lift.Behind him, the man in black frowned. How did he end up sleeping on the floor?He tried his best to recall what happened last night, but nothing came to his mind.“Let’s go together?”Suddenly, Fu Jingyun’s voice sounded.The man in black saw that Fu Jingyun was already in the lift, waiting. He stopped thinking and quickly dashed into the lift.Once they reached the research lab, Fu Jingyun acted as usual. He punched his card and went to the changing room.Charles was there too.When he saw Fu Jingyun, he snorted disdainfully.Fu Jingyun’s brow quivered slightly, but he said nothing. He pretended he did not see Charles and minded his own business as he changed into his white lab coat.“Go away!”
That night, Fang Yuchen went home and explained to everyone about the conclusion of the directors and shareholders meeting. Everyone was shocked to hear the final result.“How could that be?”Jiang Sese was the one with the most disbelief. Since the start, she knew the culprit was Fang Yiming. How did it turn out that way… Why was Fang Yiming unscathed?“I underestimated Fang Yiming,” Fang Yuchen said, troubled.If only he knew earlier that Fang Yiming would make his father the scapegoat. If so, he would have requested help from Jin Fengchen.“You underestimated him,” Fang Teng said. “We can’t deny that this child, Yiming, is really smart. He knows how to utilize Master Yang’s mindset; he would prioritize saving the dignity of the Fang family. That was why he made his father admit to all the wrongdoings.”Jiang Sese frowned. “That’s so…”She could not even say the words.Fang Teng saw his dejected son and patted his shoulder. “You did your best in handling this matter.
