Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 256 - 10: Twin Sisters (10)

Li Zhu was also somewhat incredulous that his own daughter was so outstanding.

Even though Li Shuning had mentioned the release of a new medicine, claiming it was useful for external injuries, he hadn’t paid much attention at the time and didn’t expect Shuning to give him such a big surprise.

Clearly, this kind of medicine has attracted some people’s covetous eyes.

Li Zhu quickly took action, directly reaching out to the military for collaboration. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Of course, he had discussed this in advance with Li Shuning.

Li Shuning naturally knew that once a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it; being too prominent is not always good.

With a strong backing, some things no longer need to be worried about.

Moreover, by taking the initiative to propose collaboration, the Li Family can have various speaking rights.

Li Shuning candidly told them that the amount of medicine she could produce daily was not large.

The military personnel did not believe her at first. Li Shuning directly presented her formula. The military also dispatched people to take the finished products for research, yet regardless of their efforts, the medicines merely appeared to be ordinary drugs without healing functions.

The formula was real, and the ingredients inspected in the finished products were indeed only those components.

Li Shuning’s condition was that she could prepare a certain amount of medicine daily, half for the military, half for the Li Family.

This kind of drug is very useful to the military.

Although they wanted more, the Li Family was no ordinary family, and indeed they had such capabilities. They had no choice; they eventually signed the agreement.

The hospital, in which the Li Family held shares, has the authority to sell such medicines.

Naturally, the hospital’s business improved continuously.

Some families aware of the Li Family’s agreement with the military dared not act recklessly; thus, they could only seek cooperation.

Many families extended olive branches, wanting to collaborate.

However, with such great interests, why would the Li Family want to cooperate with others?

Some families, featuring charming men, resorted to using the strategy of beauty.

However, Li Shuning already had Yun Zimo, so how could she pay attention to other men?

At this moment, the Chu Family was in complete chaos.

Chu Tao’s uncle was furious: "Back then, Chu Tao was engaged to Li Shuning. But instead, you went ahead and married Li Xiangning. This woman only causes havoc, leading the Chu Family to incur numerous losses and, likewise, reputational damage. If you had married Li Shuning, today, my Chu Family could have sold that medicine with the Li Family."

Chu Tao’s grandfather also snorted coldly: "Mistaking fish eyes for pearls, our Chu Family has lost an excellent daughter-in-law."

Chu Tao was feeling very uncomfortable at this moment. To be honest, the sensations before and after marriage were different. He found it increasingly unbearable with the many embarrassments caused by Li Xiangning.

Things that seemed beautiful before marriage now appeared so vulgar.

Li Xiangning was also present, yet she dared not say a word.

At this moment, her heart was full of dissatisfaction and anger.

Why treat her this way? Fish eyes, humph.

It’s no use regretting now; she’s already part of the Chu Family.

Li Xiangning was unexpectedly wise for once, knowing that the Chu Family would not allow her and Chu Tao to divorce; otherwise, it would offend the Li Family, making cooperation even less likely.

After thinking about it, Li Xiangning said: "Grandfather, Uncle, I know I can’t compare to my sister, but I will also contribute to the Chu Family. Previously, I was too eager, wanting to do something for our Chu Family. I realize my mistakes. In the future, I won’t interfere in business affairs. I’ll go home and talk to Mom, asking her to persuade Dad to let our Chu Family sell that kind of medicine."

Since Li Xiangning said this, the Chu Family members had nothing more to say.

Soon after, Li Xiangning returned to the Li Family.

When Li Xiangning returned, Jiang Xiaodie was arranging flowers.

Seeing Li Xiangning, she was delighted.

"Xiangxiang, you’re back! Mom missed you. Did Xiangning miss Mom, too?"

Li Xiangning and Jiang Xiaodie embraced for a moment. After sitting for a while, Jiang Xiaodie couldn’t help but ask, seeing Li Xiangning’s constant frowning: "Xiangxiang, what’s wrong? Did something happen?"

Li Xiangning suddenly threw herself into Jiang Xiaodie’s arms: "Mom, life in the Chu Family is so hard for me. Mom, you must help me. Boo hoo."

Jiang Xiaodie’s heart felt like it was about to break. Her beloved daughter crying and saying she lived a tough life—how could she not be pained?

"Xiangxiang, tell Mom, what happened?"

"Mom, I know I stole my sister’s fiancé. My sister is so excellent, naturally popular. My sister developed a new drug, and the Chu Family wants it, so they’ve been saying all sorts of things about me. Mom, I’m so upset. How did it become like this? Had it not been for Chu Tao forcing me, I wouldn’t have snatched my sister’s man. Mom, help me let Dad agree that the Chu Group can sell the medicine my sister developed."

Jiang Xiaodie immediately nodded: "All right, all right, Xiangxiang, don’t cry. Mom will talk to your dad right now; stop crying."

Jiang Xiaodie immediately went to find Li Zhu.

Li Zhu was also very busy at the moment; everyone at the hospital was bustling due to the new drug.

It should be known that the drug was not directly sold, and the hospital’s visitor count had greatly increased, requiring many arrangements.

Knowing that Jiang Xiaodie was looking for him, although busy, he went to his lounge to meet her.

Jiang Xiaodie didn’t bring Li Xiangning along; she came alone.

"Brother Zhu, I heard that Shuning developed a new medicine, and its effect is excellent?"

Li Zhu smiled and said: "Yes, Shuning is impressive. The effect of this medicine is very good."

Jiang Xiaodie smiled a bit perfunctorily: "Is that so? Shuning is indeed amazing."

"Brother Zhu, since the medicine is for sale anyway, Xiangxiang is having a hard time after marrying into the Chu Family. Why don’t we collaborate with the Li Family so Xiangxiang can live better from now on?"

Li Zhu was somewhat surprised, looking at Jiang Xiaodie for a long time, making her feel a bit uneasy.

Li Zhu suddenly laughed: "Xiaodie, you’re here specifically for this matter, right? Xiaodie, in your heart, what does Shuning mean to you? Xiangning and Chu Tao have caused her discomfort, so why should she be obliged to provide face for Li Xiangning?"

Jiang Xiaodie became somewhat angry: "Brother Zhu, Xiangxiang is also your child, and since Shuning is the elder sister, her tolerance should be forgivable."

"So, you gave your money to Xiangning, and the drug can be sold in our own hospital. Why share it with the Chu Family?"

"What’s wrong with me caring for my daughter?"

"Mom, there’s nothing wrong with you caring for your daughter, yet I’ve mentioned I won’t assist Li Xiangning with anything else."

"Shuning, how dare you say that? Isn’t this hospital part of the Li Family, and Xiangning is also a child of the Li Family, so she should naturally have access to the medicines, right?"

"Mom, you’re wrong again. It’s true, the hospital belongs to the Li Family, but the medicine is mine. If the Li Family doesn’t want to sell it, there will be plenty of others who will."

"You, ungrateful child, without the Li Family, would you have what you have today?"

Li Zhu was outraged; he knew well that although Shuning was young, she has done many things for the Li Family over the years.

Jiang Xiaodie speaking to Shuning this way would only cause more estrangement between mother and daughter.

"Enough, Xiaodie, Shuning owes nothing to the Li Family; there is no room for negotiation on this matter. If the Chu Family is the kind of family that would force Xiangning to seek you for a partnership, then my Li Family will not cooperate with such a family—you should give up on this thought."

Li Zhu stood firm, and Jiang Xiaodie returned.

Li Zhu looked at Li Shuning and sighed: "Shuning, your mother understands nothing; don’t blame her."

"Dad, I won’t. How could I blame mom?"

"That’s good. What brings you here?"

"Dad, I’m here to remind you to watch out for counterfeit drugs."
