"It's very late, let's go back," Huo Boyan said indifferently.
"Okay, I'll leave right away." Tang Xi's mood, which was in the clouds, slid down in a straight line.
She didn't dare to show any sense of loss, but just nodded obediently. When she passed by Huo Boyan, the man suddenly asked, "What's... the fragrance of your body?"
Tang Xi's eyes widened in an instant, and she immediately explained in a low voice, "This is a medicinal fragrance developed by the Tang Family. It contains several kinds of spices, natural and harmless..."
"Have you ever had a boyfriend before?" The man asked with unclear meaning.
Tang Xi's heart skipped a beat. "Huo Boyan, are you so direct? What should I do? I've had a boyfriend before, but I can't admit it no matter what."
"No... no, I've been studying and working. I don't have time to find a boyfriend. It's... my first time."
Tang Xi lowered her head shyly. She felt that a man would definitely have a good impression of her if she was so pure and pure.
A lady from a wealthy family like Huo Boyan, who was going to marry someone in the future, must be in good health.
"Let's go." There was a complicated look in the man's eyes, and his voice was a little cold.
Tang Xi raised her head in a daze and glanced at the man in a hurry.
What was going on? Why was he even colder when he heard that she was still a virgin?
Could it be that Huo Boyan didn't like the virgin? Did he like the woman who had a boyfriend? It was too hasty. It was hard to guess a man's thoughts.
Tang Xi went back to the guest room in a hurry, changed her clothes, and left, but she was very annoyed.
"It's not her." Huo Boyan's thin lips curled up coldly.
In his memory, that night, he could always smell the faint scent of medicine. When Tang Xiwan passed by him just now, her scent was very similar to that of the woman from that night. He thought it might be her, but she was still a clean virgin, which proved that... it was not her.
Huo Boyan said that he didn't want to see that woman again in his life, but in fact, he still wanted to know what the woman who fell in love with him that night looked like. She wouldn't be as ugly as a Dinosaur. If that was the case, he would have a shadow over women in his life.
When Tang Xi returned to the Tang family, Tang Yishan and his mother, Qin Liu, had been waiting for her. Seeing her sad face, they all came over with concern.
"Have you seen President Huo?"
"Yes."
Judging from her daughter's weak look, she knew that there was no progress tonight.
"Daughter, don't worry. It's the same nature to catch men. You have to be patient and tolerant. Don't be too active. Men are hunters. They don't like to be prey. Remember." Qin Liu gently comforted her daughter's injured heart.
A hint of mockery flashed across Tang Ishan's face. "You do have a good way to pursue men."
Qin Liu gave him a look and said proudly, "I have also figured it out over these years. Otherwise, I would not have married you, you pig, with the title of the most beautiful woman in my life."
Back then, Qin Liu was the number one beauty in the entertainment industry. Tang Yishan had chased after her for many years before he was able to win her heart.
Hearing this, Tang Ishan also became proud. "Who told you to be fascinated by my charm? Just give up your life and marry me, you pig."
Qin Liu ignored her husband and continued to comfort her daughter. "You have inherited my beauty. He will definitely take a fancy to you."
Tang Xiwan felt much better. "Mom, I'm fine. Go and rest."
Tang Xi clenched her fists. In order to prove her medical skills, she had to think of a way to force Ye Xi to hand over the ancestral medical book.
Ye Xi was busy with the pharmaceutical factory, and now she took over all of it. She found that a few kinds of medicines had been bought very well in the market. She was going to find a new medicine company to make new medicines. There were many records of the rubbing book given to her by her grandmother. In the past five years, she had only studied one-third of it. Her grandmother's last wish was to carry forward the medical skills of the Tang family. She was still a medicine boy. With her grandmother's book, in just five years, she had made a name in the Chinese medicine industry. If she could really understand the whole book, she would definitely be able to save more people.
"President Ye, someone is looking for..." Li Xiaowei knocked on the door and came in.
"I have an appointment with a raw material supplier. Is he here?"
"No, it's a very beautiful woman." Li Xiaowei pointed out of the window and said, "She's really beautiful."
Ye Xi looked up and saw Tang Xi. She was wearing a classical dress, with long hair hanging down. Her skin was white and her facial features were exquisite. Ye Xi rubbed the space between his eyebrows in annoyance.
He knew that the Tang family would definitely come knocking on his door.
"You're looking for me? What's the matter?" Ye Xi thought back to the last time they met, when she had been ridiculed by Tang Xi. She no longer wanted to treat her as a relative.
Her grandmother had already made it clear in the letter that Tang Ishan was not her grandmother's biological son, but she had picked him up when she went up the mountain to collect herbs. She had raised him since he was a child, and had put in a lot of effort to help him study abroad. She had watched him marry a wife, have children, and finally, she had put ten years of aphrodisiac in her grandmother's soup. Her grandmother's heart had been broken. The child she regarded as her own child wanted to kill her.
Thinking of this, Ye Xi's eyes turned red. Tang Yishan, this ungrateful guy, she hadn't sought revenge from him yet, but his daughter was very aggressive.
"The output of such a small factory is less than one-tenth of the Tang family's. Ye Xi, I advise you to close the factory as soon as possible, so as not to be excluded by the Tang family and become a joke in the pharmaceutical industry." Tang Xi's face was full of contempt. It was the first time she had come here. It was really shabby and small. Compared with the Tang family's factory, it was not good enough at all.
"It's my business whether you want to close the door or not. You don't have to worry about it for me. I'm still busy here. If there's nothing else, you should leave quickly and don't have time to greet me." Ye Xi coldly drove him away.
"If you want me to leave, you can. Hand over my grandmother's family heirloom and let it return to its original owner. As for a stranger like you, if you take it, you will only disgrace his sacredness. It belongs to... the Tang family." Tang Xi's words were sharp, and her words were the last two words. She bit it very hard, as if she was reminding him on purpose.
"As I said, the scroll is not with me. Don't bother me anymore." Ye Xi denied coldly.
"Do you think I'll believe it?"
Ye Xi's beautiful eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed at the bottom of them. "Believe it or not, it's your business."
"Ye Xi, your two daughters are very cute, aren't they? When will you bring them out? Let's have a meal together." Tang Xi knew that if she didn't show some ruthlessness, Ye Xi wouldn't obediently hand over the copy.
"You want to threaten me with my daughter?" Ye Xi's eyes were filled with killing intent.
Tang Xi smiled proudly. "There's no need to be so harsh with your words. I haven't seen my two nieces yet. I want to give them a big red packet..."
"Tang Xiwan, I'm warning you, don't have any designs on my daughter." Ye Xi's slender fingers were clenched into fists. Tang Yishan's daughter was also so despicable.
"Then it depends on whether you want to hand over the copy or not. If you hand it over now, I can still pity you and fix this factory for you. If you want to monopolize the Tang family's property, I am afraid that your factory will not be able to withstand the ups and downs and will collapse sooner or later..."
Ye Xi was well aware of the fierceness in her words. She smiled coldly and said, "If you have the ability, then just come."
Tang Xi thought that if she used her daughter to threaten her, she would definitely be obedient. She didn't expect Ye Xi to be so courageous that he would ignore her.
"Ye Xi, you'd better listen to what I said today..."
"Are you really a doctor?" Ye Xi interrupted her and looked at her with narrowed eyes. "She is a famous miracle-working doctor who can save people with just a few needles."
Tang Xiwan's face changed a few times, and then she sneered. "What's wrong? Are you sick? Do you need me to give you a few needles?"
