Chapter 89 Xia Liuli drugged
Inside the Xiao family's living room.
The news is playing on TV.
"Can you believe it? One Youth Pill can preserve ten years of youth! This is the latest patent of the Medical Sage Chenming of our Xia Kingdom. Now, the Youth Pill has been authorized to be sold exclusively by Youzi Makeup in Nancheng..."
A reporter excitedly broadcasted a message in front of a cosmetics store called Youzi Makeup, while behind him, the atmosphere was extremely lively, with the cosmetics store almost completely surrounded by people.
"A single Youth Pill costs 60 million, an exorbitant price that ordinary people simply cannot afford. However, according to reliable sources, ten people have already pre-ordered and paid..."
"Youzi Makeup also launched the Youth Pill Mini Version 1 and 2, with effects that are one-fifth and one-tenth of the first generation, respectively, and the price is much cheaper. Although it is still expensive, there are many pre-orders."
"In addition, Youzi Makeup has launched a series of cosmetics, which were personally developed by the former formulator of Yanmei Makeup. The effects are better than any other brand on the market, but the price is very affordable. They have received rave reviews and are sold out on the official website!"
"We are witnessing the rise of a super brand!"
……
The TV host was visibly excited, while the Xiao family members watching from home looked increasingly grim.
"Is something like the Youth Pill really that easy to make? How come he has so many to sell? Even a top-level physician would have difficulty completing the first step?" a member of the Xiao family questioned.
"Heh, would someone like Xiao Chen tell the truth? He's obviously lying, how could he possibly be willing to leak the formula?" someone immediately retorted.
"Da da da……"
Qu Ying hurriedly walked in, wearing high heels.
She was so angry with Xiao Chen a while ago that she fainted, and she is still very weak and pale.
"Yan Mei... how is my Yan Mei?" Qu Ying asked anxiously.
The Xiao family members remained silent, speechless.
"Yiyi, tell me, what are Yanmei's sales figures this week?" she asked Xiao Yiyi.
Xiao Yiyi sighed and decided to tell the truth.
"Mom, ever since that Youzi brand was established, almost all cosmetic brands in Nancheng have faced a harsh winter..."
"Just tell me the sales figures!"
Xiao Yiyi paused for a moment, then emphasized one word: "Zero."
Qu Ying was so angry that she almost fainted again.
"You, Xiao Chen! Fine!" she said through gritted teeth.
There was shock, there was resentment.
This once-disregarded pawn has now become so capable.
"Our takeover plan has been greatly hampered. Small and medium-sized enterprises are flocking to the Chen family's company. They have formed an alliance and created a huge interest group, which poses a threat to us," Xiao Yiyi said to everyone.
"Defeat Xiao Chen; it is of utmost urgency!"
The Xiao family members remained silent.
Right now, they simply can't think of a good solution.
"What if we had the formula for the Youth Pill?" Xiao Yichen suddenly asked, his expression playful.
The Xiao family's eyes lit up.
"Yichen, tell me, how can we get the formula?"
"This matter is up to the Xia family," Xiao Yichen said with a sinister smile.
……
Outside Zhang Qin's clinic.
Xia Liuli kept a straight face as He Qin stood opposite her, chattering incessantly.
"Xia Liuli, recognize your place. This is a chance given to you by the Xiao and Xia families. If you don't comply, from now on, you will no longer be my daughter!" He Qin said coldly.
"He's just a discarded son of the Xiao family. Are you really going to turn against your family for him?"
"Remember this: if you don't get the recipe for the Youth Pill, the Xia family will expel you from the clan!"
After saying that, He Qin turned and left indifferently.
Xia Liuli's face was heavy. She stood there for a long time before slowly walking back to the clinic. She didn't even respond when Chen Lin called her.
Xia Liuli was in a daze all day.
After a long while, she let out a long sigh, as if she had made some kind of decision.
In the evening, Xiao Chen arrived at the clinic.
The clinic doesn't lack patients at all; in fact, it has too many.
"We're on an appointment system now, and the appointments are already booked until next month. If it weren't for these restrictions, we might have to wait until next year!" Xia Tianqi excitedly ran over to report to Xiao Chen.
Since being conquered by Xiao Chen, he has completely become the clinic's servant, running around tirelessly every day.
"Xiao Chen, I need to talk to you about something. Come up here for a moment," Xia Liuli said as she appeared on the stairs.
Xiao Chen nodded and followed her upstairs.
Xia Liuli took Xiao Chen directly to her room.
As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Chen subconsciously looked up at the clothesline above his head.
Last time I came in, a piece of lace panties fell right off my head...
"What are you looking at?" Xia Liuli immediately blushed and scolded.
"It's nothing..." Xiao Chen smiled.
"Sit down." Xia Liuli pointed to the chair. "I'll make you a cup of good tea. It was something your teacher went through a lot of trouble to get."
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.
With a personality like Xia Liuli's, who always keeps people at arm's length, she would almost never invite a man into her boudoir.
Not to mention, he even personally brewed tea for her.
"Speak, what do you need from me?" Xiao Chen said with a faint smile.
Xia Liuli paused slightly.
"I'll talk to you after you finish your tea," Xia Liuli said, placing a cup of tea on the table.
Xiao Chen glanced at her, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and frowned slightly.
"The tea is indeed good, but it seems there's something extra in it," he said meaningfully.
A rare hint of panic appeared on Xia Liuli's pretty face.
"No...no..." She turned her face away.
Xiao Chen shook his head.
She had absolutely no ability to lie; her demeanor and tone completely betrayed her.
With Xiao Chen's expertise in medicine, he easily detected that something had been added to the tea.
"What drug did you give me? And who told you to do it?" Xiao Chen asked calmly.
He could tell that the ingredients in the tea were not poisonous, hence its bland taste.
Xia Liuli turned her back to Xiao Chen and remained silent for a long while.
"Did the Xiao family and the Xia family force you to do it?" Xiao Chen said again.
Xia Liuli's delicate body trembled slightly, and she nodded gently.
"Their methods are still so crude."
Xiao Chen chuckled softly, his tone laced with disdain.
He had Chen Jun establish Youzi and enter the cosmetics industry so that he could first break the Xiao family in the cosmetics field, and then take advantage of the victory to ruin their economy.
Xiao Chen had long anticipated that the Xiao family would resort to underhanded tactics.
Xia Liuli's close relationship with him naturally became a breakthrough point.
"They want me to get the formula for the Youth Pill, or they'll sever ties with me," Xia Liuli said in a low voice.
"I have no other choice..."
Xiao Chen waved his hand, not caring.
If Xia Liuli were to use any potent poison, he would immediately distance himself from her and make her leave the clinic.
But what she used wasn't even considered poison.
"You had no choice in the matter, I don't blame you."
After saying that, he got up and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's expression froze, and he looked at her incredulously.
"What you gave me... was an aphrodisiac?"
