Ye Xi spent the whole day immersed in the office of the pharmaceutical factory until it was dark.
Li Xiaowei was now Ye Xi's attendant and nanny. After taking the child home, Li Xiaowei immediately washed the vegetables and cooked. "President Ye, I don't have good cooking skills. You guys have to take care of yourself."
"Sorry to trouble you. I've been clumsy since I was a child."
"Mommy's cooking doesn't even cost a puppy."
"A black ball, as hard as a stone."
The two little guys were next to him, and they were not polite to Ye Xi.
Ye Xi glared at them. "Hurry up and finish your homework."
The two little guys made a face and jumped toward their lovely room.
Li Xiao cooked four dishes and made tomato and egg soup. She came out of the kitchen and wiped the sweat on her face. "President Ye, let me wash my face."
"Go to my bathroom to take a shower." Ye Xi looked up from the computer.
Li Xiaowei went into the bathroom and took a look. Unexpectedly, there were no big brands of face-washing milk on the market. Instead, she put a few pieces of medicine of different colors in it. She reached out to take a piece and smeared it on her face. It was very gentle, and the foam was rich and delicate. After washing it, there was a faint fragrance on her face.
Li Xiaowei seemed to have found a new continent. She came out with the medicine and asked, "President Ye, did you make this medicine yourself? It looks very useful. Can you give me a few pieces?"
Ye Xi nodded. "I made them myself. They're all for my own use. If you don't mind, I'll get you a few pieces."
After Ye Xi finished speaking, he took three pieces from her storage room and gave them to Li Xiaowei.
"President Ye, your skin is so good because of this kind of medicine. My sensitive muscles are finally saved." Li Xiaowei touched her face, which was full of bean prints, and jumped up happily on the spot.
Ye Xi smiled and said, "Actually, I've been making medicine and soap for the past few years. I'm not used to the things on the market. Also, I see that you're lacking in blood, so I'll give you a list. You should first take care of your body."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye. I wish I could be as fair and tender as you," Li Xiaowei said with tears of gratitude.
Ye Xi smiled faintly. "Actually, the best way is to adjust one's mentality. Don't let one's emotions rise and fall."
"I've been reading for ten years, but unfortunately, I'm born with a bad temper... Alas, I'll leave it to fate," Li Xiao said with a bitter smile.
It was late at night in the Huo family's old house.
It was the first time for Tang Xiwan, who claimed to be a farmer, to enter the Huo family's villa.
This villa was built halfway up the mountain. The scenery and view were excellent. There were small-style buildings, ink carvings, rockery pavilions, and pavilions. All of them showed the owner's joy and elegance.
Although the Tang family was well-known, compared with the Huo family, it was nothing. At most, it was known as a pharmaceutical family. If it was spread out, it would be a bit of a disgrace. However, in a society where money was above all else, the Tang family could not even compare to the tip of the iceberg of the Huo family, let alone power.
"Miss Tang, this way please. The old lady is in the backyard."
"Thank you for your help." Tang Xi's tone was gentle and polite, and her every movement was full of the demeanor of a lady from a respectable family.
She knew that if she wanted to marry Huo Boyan, she couldn't marry him so easily. Even if he liked her, he might not marry her. First of all, she had to win the old lady's favor. With the old lady's sincerity, it was the most important thing.
Tang Xi had to make good use of this opportunity to win the old lady's favor.
In the backyard, in an antique room, the old lady was lying on the armchair, resting with her eyes closed. She had just woken up from a nightmare. At this moment, there was still cold sweat on her forehead.
Recently, she couldn't sleep well. There were always babies crying in her dreams. She always remembered the two little boys she carried back in the night. Although she was four years old now, she always felt guilty in her heart.
She knew from the nanny that the children would look for their mothers in the middle of the night. Sometimes, Huo Boyan had to hold the two children in his arms. They would only fall asleep when they were tired from crying.
"Can that woman... still be found?" The old lady looked at the ceiling and thought about it. Because of a deal that year, all the information was deliberately erased after the baby was born.
Nowadays, the child was getting bigger and bigger, and she was more and more eager for maternal love. The old lady really wanted to get that woman back.
"Miss Tang, please go in. The old lady is inside."
"Okay."
A clear female voice came from outside the door. "Mrs. Huo, my name is Tang Xiwan. I'm a doctor hired by Mr. Huo to feel your pulse."
"Come in." Old Grandma put away all her emotions and looked at the woman coming in with a serious face.
She was about 25 or 26 years old. She was beautiful and elegant.
"You can feel my pulse at such a young age?" The old lady was suspicious.
Tang Xi smiled and introduced herself. "My ancestors were famous medical masters in the previous three generations. Please don't worry, Old Madam."
"Then take my pulse. I have a headache recently and I can't sleep." The old lady didn't hold much hope, but just let her try.
Tang Xiwan was still a little nervous. The old lady had a natural sense of dignity. If she didn't have real talent, it wouldn't be easy to fool her. If she didn't have excellent medical skills and couldn't relieve the old lady's illness, then the consequences... would be hopeless for her to be the Young Madam of the Huo family.
Tang Xi sat down beside the old lady, put down the medicine chest she brought along with her, and concentrated on feeling the old lady's pulse.
It was very quiet in the room. Qu Xiwan felt the pulse attentively. A few minutes later, she said, "Is there something on the old lady's mind recently? I see that your pulse has slowed down, slowed down, and is not dirty enough. Your Qi and blood are not running smoothly. Do you still have a headache, chest tightness, and cough..."
"A human body is like a machine. I'm old, and it's common for parts to be damaged. Just wait and see how you treat it for me. All the doctors you've invited can see the problem, but not many of them can cure it," the old lady said calmly.
"Yes." Tang Xiwan didn't dare to brag. She said softly, "I'll give you a prescription first, and then I'll give you acupuncture treatment. It's been a long time, please cooperate with me."
"I'll listen to you." The old lady was getting thinner and thinner after suffering from insomnia and headache. Whatever Tang Xi said, it would be whatever it was.
Tang Xiwan had quite a bit of experience in acupuncture. She took out the needles and inserted them into them. Her movements were smooth and smooth. However, when she fixed the acupuncture points, she didn't pinch them very accurately enough. If her grandmother's ancestral copy of traditional Chinese medicine hadn't been lost, she would have been famous if she could learn the contents.
"Ye Xi, even if you ate it, you have to spit it out for me..."
Thinking that she still needed to pretend to be a medical worker to be able to practice medicine in the Huo family, Tang Xiwan was angry and unwilling. She would never let go of Ye Xi.
More than an hour later, Tang Xiwan wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead. Watching the old lady slowly fall asleep, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She called the servants over and told them what to do. She also opened a list of medicine and then walked out of the Old Madam's bedroom.
"Miss Tang, Mr. Huo wants to see you."
The maid stopped her and led her to the hall.
Tang Xi was a little happy. She didn't expect to meet Huo Boyan on the first day of her visit. Was he here to see her?
