Xue Nuan smiled at the mention of her husband.
"Why are you calling my husband, Profiteer? Isn't he the sweetest soul on Earth?"
Li Zedong coughed hard at her words. he couldn't but say it out loud
" Doctor Xue, I may not know him personally well, however everyone knows that he is 'Devil' in business world."
Xue Nuan glared at him " Young Master Li, you dare to continue to call my dear husband names , Profiteer and now Devil. I might have to reconsider the collaboration with Li Group "
Ding Zan pressed Li Zedong's hand indicating that Zi Peng is a sensitive topic. They need the collaboration very much.
Li Zedong picked up the hint and said carefully
" Madam Xue, ignore this naive me. What's the second thing you wanted to discuss with me."
Ding Zan looked at Li Zedong in appreciative manner, Since Li Zedong carefully diverted Xue Nuan from getting angry.
Xue Nuan didn't mind getting back to work, so pointed her fingers at the report she placed infront when he came in.
" These are your mother's report from she was 22 years old. From She was 24 , they have injected a medicine used for clinical trial for schizophrenia. "
Li Zedong eyes were focused on Xue Nuan, from when his mother is having schizophrenia. He asked with any believe
" My mother is normal person, please don't tell me she has schizophrenia. Please tell me the truth."
Xue Nuan understood the pain of Li Zedong. She understands how a children undergo the pain when their parents are sick however old they are. So she decided to carefully thread her words.
" There is a good news and bad news. Good news is that your mother doesn't suffer from schizophrenia. But she was treated with clinical trial medicine for the past 20 years.
Thankfully, the person who was administered her the medicine didn't go overboard with dosage. they were very careful enough to monitor her health and inject only a fraction of the medicine. "
Li Zedong couldn't understand the reason why his mother would undergo this kind of torture. She is fragile person in the entire Yi Family, she doesn't go against anyone inside or outside of the house. Even with her husband she will only fight for a brief period and give up sooner.
" Why will someone does this to my Mother? What did this do to my mother?. Most importantly , Doctor Xue please tell that my Mom can be cured."
" I hope that she can be cured. But the reason behind this unknown. But I can tell you the side effects, probably that will tell you about the motive for someone doing this your mother. "
Li Zedong couldn't speak at that moment, but he understood the logical reasoning behind Doctor Xue.
" The prime most effect of this medicine to shake the stability of the person. They will lose the self confidence and belief in them. They might trust the few person they have known for years and they will see everyone as their enemies without any reason. They start to assume that the other person will bring harm. Let's say in simple terms, they become mental slave of someone who they believe.
So ideally the person who your mother believes unconditionally is the culprit. I hope you can narrow down and find out."
Li Zedong couldn't think clearly anymore, his mind was going blank to the point he might faint anytime.
Xue Nuan continued even though she understood his state
"Young Master Li, I m trying hard to Cure your mother. I recommend that we treat her abroad in some pleasant environment. This change of environment is highly recommended. Moreover under the current events, it will be safe to shift her from discreetly.
I m not going to force you, but I would recommend that to you. Of course you need to discuss with Uncle Li."
Ding Zan spoke for Li Zedong,
"Young Madam Xue, I will have a conversation with Young Master Li when he gets better."
Xue nodded her head in understanding, But she still needs to say what's needed
" Young Master Li, this is a reason why I m advising you to retain Ding Zan with you. Plus you need to increase security for your family. Since you are going to be treating your mother, the person behind this will naturally make your life harder."
"Doctor Xue, I am not in right state of mind, however I am not sure how to thank you. You fought every possible way to save my father, now you are doing something more than that for my mother. I am indebted to you in this life and after."
Li Zedong and Ding Zan left shortly after that. Xue Nuan conveyed through her eyes to take care of vulnerable Li Zedong.

In Zi business tower, things weren't going well. Qin Jie found it extremely difficult to handle Zi Peng. He fired 10 employee, Even Gong Bai couldn't get past his mood swings.
It was 7 PM in the evening, yet nobody left the office premises in fear.
Xue Nuan who finished her work came to get husband. She reached the floor and surprised to see a young woman. She remembered Gong Bai mentioning the secretary who gone on leave due to pregnancy.
Xue Nuan gave her usual smile and started to walk towards her husband's office. Suddenly she was stopped by Qin Jie.
" May I know who you are ? How can you enter Master Zi's office without any permission?"
Xue Nuan knew how this conversation goes with these secretaries. to cut it short, she said
" I don't need any permission to enter his office. Go ask him if you want?"
Qin Jie chuckled, what's with people these days. in the morning I went for Master Sun, got scared for life and came back. That's not going to happen again.
" Miss, I don't know you. But whosoever you are, today is not a good time to visit CEO Zi."
Xue Nuan was intrigued by the way she got response
" Why not today, I need to see him no matter what? "
" Miss, please don't make life harder. Leave your name and contact details in this paper, when CEO returns back to normal, I will personally fix an appointment for you."
The phone buzzed and Qin Jie picked it up
" Mom, sorry I m held up at work. please take care of the baby. will try to come Soon."
Xue Nuan could hear the baby crying in the background. She saw Qin Jie eyes were starting to fill with tears.
Xue Nuan picked up the tissue paper and handed it to Qin Jie.
" How old is your baby ? Even if your baby is grown up, you should be going home in time. Your baby should be your first priority." Xue Nuan advised
Qin Jie accepted the tissue and thanked her for kind words.
" Thanks so much, but still I can't let you inside."
Xue Nuan bursted out laughing at this secretary.
Suddenly the door opened, Zi Peng dashed outside, he notice the Xue Nuan who was standing beside the door when it opened.
" How long does it take for the report to be completed. And why do you have a phone when it's always not reachable....." Zi Peng went on lashing out at her Qin Jie in Anger.
Xue Nuan stepped behind him and hugged him behind. She whispered in his ears
" Ah Peng, Stop this honey. Let's go home."
Qin Jie was shocked to witness a woman hugging Zi Peng. Gong Bai who entered didn't get affected by the scene. By now he is used to the stupid husband and wife dog food.
Zi Peng didn't even look at Qin Jie after that, he just released himself from Xue Nuan and carried her swiftly into his office.
Two minutes later, Qin Jie got a call from Zi Peng to leave for home. Qin Jie realized that it might new person who came today's effect. She thanked her inside her heart.
Gong Bai understood and said
" That's your Young Madam Zi, beloved wife of Zi Peng. Treat her well, otherwise be ready to face the wrath of the great devil Zi Peng."
Qin Jie was shocked and felt stupid about her behavior earlier.
