Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 960: Two Dumplings Crush the Little Fat Cat (6)
Chapter 960: Chapter 960: Two Dumplings Crush the Little Fat Cat (6)
Xia Hao couldn’t sit still any longer and picked up the phone to frantically contact An Yiqing, but her cellphone kept indicating it was powered off, so out of desperation, he called Ye Chenghong.
As one would expect, Ye Chenghong told him what happened just as it occurred, and if it weren’t for Father Xia and Mother Xia holding him back, Xia Hao might have already packed his bags and headed to Xuandu City.
Thankfully, with Ye Chenghong’s persuasion, Xia Hao knew that going to Xuandu City wouldn’t be of any help, and might even cause more trouble, so he had no choice but to stay helplessly in Qingning City, waiting for news.
However, thankfully, Ye Chenghong gave Xia Hao Gu Yelin’s phone number, hoping Xia Hao could get in touch with An Yiqing as soon as possible.
But over the following days, as the situation with Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals escalated, Xia Hao was busy collecting information online every day to help clear An Yiqing’s name, so exhausted each day that he would fall asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, without any time to call Gu Yelin or Ye Chenghong.
Today, An Yiqing miraculously appeared at the press conference, which allowed Xia Hao’s to let out a huge sigh of relief. He flung the mouse aside and buried his head into the pillow, sleeping until just now before getting up.
"Haozi, it’s me," An Yiqing said with a laugh, squinting her eyes gently and calling out softly.
Xia Hao, holding the phone, was startled and then burst into tears.
"Qingqing, you’re finally awake! You don’t know how scared I’ve been these past few days. I thought you might have..."
Xia Hao said with tearful eyes and a chocked up voice. An Yiqing was his only close friend; if something had happened to her, Xia Hao would have been heartbroken for the rest of his life...
"Don’t cry, Haozi, I’m fine, my body has no issues now. I just ate a big bowl of hot noodle soup, I feel great," An Yiqing teased.
Xia Hao, laughing and crying, wiped the tears from his face, shaking his head helplessly, "Qingqing, you’ve been unconscious for so long, how can you think about eating as soon as you wake up? Wait for me, I’ll bring you some of my mom’s homemade pork jerky when I visit Xuandu City in a while. It wasn’t ready a few days ago; you missed it."
As soon as An Yiqing heard about the pork jerky made by Mother Xia, her eyes sparkled, nodding repeatedly, not caring if Xia Hao could see her or not.
"Okay, I’ll wait for you! Haozi, have Old Lady Xia and the others stopped harassing uncle and auntie these few days?"
"No, they haven’t been here since the last time you taught them a lesson. Old Lady Xia and Uncle haven’t shown up since, but Uncle Four did come to the restaurant once, and my dad fiercely chased him away."
The Uncle Four Xia Hao referred to was Xia Liqing, Old Lady Xia’s youngest son. Xia Laosi is the least promising and educated one in the Xia Family, dropping out of school in junior high, and roaming around with a gang, boasting over the past years about being an apprentice to some famous big brother in the underworld, boasting with swagger.
The day Old Lady Xia came to make a scene at the restaurant, coincidentally, Xia Laosi was out of town. When he returned and asked his mother for money, he found out that the family’s money tree was gone.
No money to spend, how could that be?! In rage, Xia Laosi ran to the restaurant, wanting to weep and make a scene as before, but was driven out by the now assertive Father Xia wielding a mop.
Later, no one knew whether Old Lady Xia had talked him out of it or something else happened, but in any case, Xia Laosi had stopped causing trouble these past few days.
"It’s good that nothing happened. Your Uncle Four is not someone to be underestimated. Tell uncle and auntie to be careful; if he comes to cause trouble again, just call the police. I’ve already explained to the police station; they will take special care of Xia Family’s Restaurant safety. These days, take good care of uncle and auntie, I’ll wait for you in Xuandu City."
After happily chatting about some everyday trivia, Xia Hao reluctantly hung up the phone.
"Let’s sleep, it’s past one."
Gu Yelin took the phone and placed it on the nightstand, then reached out to wrap his arms around An Yiqing and crawled under the covers.
"Mm... Ah Lin, remember to wake me up tomorrow morning, I need to go to the police station..." An Yiqing hadn’t finished her sentence when she yawned and fell back into a deep sleep.
"Okay."
Gently kissing An Yiqing’s cheek, Gu Yelin turned off the lamp and, holding her soft, fragrant body, sank into a deep sleep.
The following day, news about Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals exploded across the country once more.
Seizing the momentum from the press conference, Xing Bin swiftly announced that the full public inspection of Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals would begin promptly at one in the afternoon today, with the first batch being the medical team specially appointed by the Xuanjin Sovereign.
When the public heard this news, they were all blown away.
They thought An Yiqing was just talking casually at the press conference yesterday, but she had actually managed to bring in the medical team from the Xuanjin Sovereign!
If this were ancient times, those would be the personal physicians beside the Emperor! Directly under the highest leadership, their medical arts and authority were absolutely unquestionable!
Since Number One was willing to lend this medical team to An Yiqing, didn’t that explain everything?
The public no longer needed to watch the afternoon drug inspection; merely the presence of these authoritative figures had them utterly convinced of Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals’ credibility.
The second piece of news Xing Bin announced was the upcoming launch of Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals’ new flagship product—Qingyan Ointment!
Qingyan Ointment, primarily used to repair serious skin damages from burns, scalds, or botched cosmetic surgeries. According to information released by Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, the healing rate of this ointment was a staggering 100%!
Once this news broke, everyone was nearly frantic with excitement!
