Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 437: The Miraculous Weight Loss Medicine
"What a hassle, I’ve told you not to become a celebrity, but you wouldn’t listen." Ningwan couldn’t help but complain.
Ye Shao gave an awkward laugh, "Sis, we’re already at this point, stop complaining about me. Just tell me if there’s a good solution."
"Of course, there is a way, but the medicine is very bitter and not easy to drink," Ningwan said.
Ye Shao replied, "It doesn’t matter, medicine is usually bitter, but I can endure it."
"There aren’t any side effects, are there?" Wu Taotao asked worriedly.
Ningwan said, "Don’t worry, there are no side effects. He’s my brother; how could I harm him? But it’s really bitter, so you better supervise him. He might say it’s no problem, but when he actually drinks it, he’ll know what it means to feel worse than death."
"As long as there are no side effects, even if he doesn’t drink it, I’ll make him," Wu Taotao said with a smile.
Ye Shao was speechless and said aggrievedly, "Taotao, you’re too heartless."
"What else can I do? I really like this role too. You must perform well. Once you become famous, I can boast about having a celebrity boyfriend," Wu Taotao happily slapped Ye Shao on the back.
"You both wait here, let me go and write the prescription." Ningwan left for the back room.
Soon, she finished the prescription and had the store staff prepare a week’s worth of medicine.
"One dose a day, let Taotao simmer it and give it to you to drink. Taotao’s skill in simmering medicine is quite impressive - three bowls of water boiled down to one. Drink a bowl daily, and I guarantee you’ll lose ten pounds in a week. Of course, if you can’t eat, losing fifteen pounds is not a problem."
"Is it really that effective?" Ye Shao exclaimed.
Ningwan said, "Of course, you’re talking about medicine prepared by me. My medicine is guaranteed to have this effect. But don’t tell anyone else. Otherwise, I fear my doors will be trampled down."
Ningwan didn’t forget to remind him.
Ye Shao laughed and said, "Sis, if it’s this good, you could make a fortune just selling slimming medicine. You have no idea, female celebrities in the circle would do anything to lose weight. Knowing there’s such an effective slimming medicine, they would go crazy trying to find you."
"That’s why you can’t spread it out. In case everyone comes looking for me, I don’t want to just be issuing slimming medicine, affecting treatment for other patients," said Ningwan.
"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell anyone," Ye Shao assured.
Ningwan handed him some fruit preserves, "If it’s too bitter, have some of these. I made them myself, guaranteed to be healthy and pollution-free."
"But I’m on a diet, isn’t eating this too high in calories?" Ye Shao said hesitantly.
Ningwan said, "You’re dieting, not fasting. Take the medicine and continue eating as usual, and I guarantee you’ll slim down. If you don’t, you can come to find me and ruin my reputation, it’s fine."
"How could I ruin your reputation," Ye Shao laughed, "How could I not trust my sister? Of course, I believe you."
"Alright, you two stop being so mushy. Ye Shao, aren’t you supposed to go to the company for closed training? It’s almost time, go quickly!" Wu Taotao urged.
Ye Shao nodded, said goodbye to Ningwan, and left hand in hand with Wu Taotao.
Now that Ye Shao is not famous yet, he doesn’t have to worry about being followed by the paparazzi.
So, he can still holding hands with Wu Taotao without a care in the world.
Once the drama airs and he gets a little fame, he might not have the same peace and quiet.
"Madam."
Ningwan returned home, and the servants greeted her.
"Is Mr. back yet?" Ningwan asked.
"He’s not back yet," the servant replied.
Ningwan sighed lightly, wondering if he’d be able to leave work on time today.
Recently, Zhan Hanjue’s company seems to be very busy, with several days in a row of continuous overtime, and he’s gotten thinner.
However, she can’t help much, so she has the kitchen simmer some nourishing medicinal soup.
When Zhan Hanjue returns, he’ll have some to replenish his body.
As expected, come dinner time, Zhan Hanjue called to say there’s a lot going on at the company today, so he wouldn’t be home for dinner. He told them to eat without waiting for him.
Ningwan sighed.
Tuantuan couldn’t help but complain, "Mommy, Daddy hasn’t come home for dinner in a long time."
"Yes, Daddy’s busy with work, it’s very hard," Ningwan patted his head.
Xiaxia said casually, "Could it be Daddy likes someone else outside, so he doesn’t come home?"
Ningwan: "..."
"Of course not, because your Daddy only likes beautiful women, and I am the most beautiful woman," she said with confidence, smiling.
Xiaxia lowered her head and focused on shoveling rice into her mouth.
Tuantuan gently served her some vegetables, "Don’t just eat rice, mind your balanced nutrition."
Ningwan sighed lightly and shook her head.
This little girl is always thinking about sowing discord and destroying the relationship between her and Zhan Hanjue.
And her son, is always worried and attentive to the girl, practically dancing on his own mother’s fragile heart.
Oh well, boys are bound to be outward-bound, nothing can be done about it.
After dinner, she sent the two kids upstairs and went to visit Grandma.
Old Mrs. Zhan’s health condition has worsened, and her mind has become more confused.
Being a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, Ningwan knows the old lady doesn’t have much time left.
However, she didn’t dare tell Zhan Hanjue, fearing it would make him sad.
She only told him to spend more time talking to Grandma whenever possible. The more company she has, the better.
But unfortunately, he’s been busy these days.
He comes home in the dead of night when the old lady is already asleep.
So Ningwan can only visit the old lady every evening after dinner.
Even when she occasionally doesn’t recognize her. But talking to her is a comfort in itself.
"Mrs. Chen."
Ningwan walked into Old Mrs. Zhan’s courtyard and suddenly saw Mrs. Chen sneaking around, so she immediately called her out.
Mrs. Chen was heading this way, but upon seeing Ningwan, she turned abruptly. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Her sneaky behavior aroused suspicion.
Considering her previous missteps, Ningwan couldn’t help but be extra cautious.
Mrs. Chen reluctantly stopped and greeted her awkwardly, "Young Madam."
Ningwan smiled and asked, "Mrs. Chen, why are you avoiding me? Is there something going on with Grandma?"
"No, Old Mrs. Zhan is fine. I wasn’t avoiding you, Young Madam, you misunderstood," Mrs. Chen explained with a faint smile.
Ningwan chuckled, "Mrs. Chen, you’ve known me for many years. You should know I’m not easily fooled. Just tell me what’s going on instead of making me find out myself. When that happens, nobody’s going to look good. This time, even if Zhan Hanjue wants to keep you, I won’t agree. You know, with family matters, he usually listens to me."
Mrs. Chen trembled with fear and quickly said, "Young Madam, please don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to hide it. It’s just... Ms. He came. I didn’t dare tell you for fear you’d be upset. I didn’t let her in. When I found out, she was already in Old Mrs. Zhan’s room, chatting with her. Surprisingly, Old Mrs. Zhan recognized her and didn’t mind, and she was laughing and talking with her. I haven’t seen Old Mrs. Zhan so happy in a long time, so I couldn’t bear to interrupt. When I saw you, I just turned and left quickly."
"She’s with Grandma?" Ningwan frowned.
