"Grandpa Su, get ready!"
"At the latest, the day after tomorrow, Lin Jianjun will take out 3.5 billion to buy the shares I hold."
"When the time comes, that money will be directly transferred to the Su family group's account."
After the grandfather and grandson had their fun, Lin Xuan's expression turned serious, and he started discussing business.
"3.5 billion? Didn't we agree on 3 billion before? Will your father agree to increase the amount?"
Su Shengtian was somewhat surprised.
After all, based on market valuation, the shares Lin Xuan held were worth at most 3 billion.
"He has no choice but to agree. I've already set the deadline with him..."
"If the money isn't there within two days, I'll sell the shares to others who want them."
"In order to keep his position as chairman of the Lin family, he'll have to scrape together the money, even if it means selling everything."
Lin Xuan sat by the bedside, a smile flickering in his eyes.
Familiar with the plot.
He had long figured out Lin Jianjun's thoughts and had strategically set up his plan.
Now, everything was under control.
Although, based on the Lin family's current financial situation, they definitely couldn't bear the 500 million shortfall.
But Lin Xuan didn't care.
He just wanted to drain Lin Jianjun's years of savings dry.
Whether the other party had to resort to high-interest loans or sell blood or organs, Lin Xuan didn't care.
As long as you get me the money, it's fine?!
"You're right! I heard that the Lin family's [Beauty Cream] is about to hit the market..."
"To prevent you, Xiao Xuan, from changing your mind after seeing the huge profit, Lin Jianjun is definitely the one who wants the share transfer to be completed as soon as possible."
After hearing Lin Xuan's explanation.
At this moment.
Su Shengtian also realized it, and a smile appeared on his old face once again.
"Oh! That's right, my memory... I almost forgot."
Suddenly.
The old man seemed to remember something, slapped his forehead, and carefully pulled out a small box from his pocket.
"Grandpa Su, is this some treasure? You look so happy..."
Seeing Su Shengtian smiling like an old child, Lin Xuan curiously asked.
"This is the treasure! It's the treasure you gave me..."
"I gave it to you? Uh... is it the beauty pill?"
Lin Xuan froze for a moment, vaguely guessing what was in the box.
Sure enough.
Su Shengtian carefully opened the box, and inside was a round, golden pill about the size of two fingernails.
Its appearance was quite similar to what was described in the novel...
As soon as Lin Xuan saw the golden pill, he knew for sure.
He knew the [Beauty Pill] had been successfully crafted.
"Xiao Xuan, your prescription is truly remarkable!"
"I had the research department work day and night on it, failing multiple times. Only now have we successfully made a few decent samples."
"This is one of them!"
Looking at the golden pill in the small box, Su Shengtian couldn't hide his joy, his face filled with wrinkles as he smiled.
He knew that the successful development of this pill would completely disrupt the current landscape of the medical beauty market.
The Su family group would also gain unprecedented benefits from this opportunity.
Just thinking that the Su family could grow bigger and stronger, and perhaps even recreate its former glory.
Su Shengtian couldn't help but shed tears, overwhelmed with emotion, holding Lin Xuan's hand and thanking him loudly.
"Xiao Xuan, you are truly the lucky star of the Su family!"
"The first time I saw you, I felt you had a prosperous future with your wife."
"Back then, when my Qingge went to a fortune teller, they said her life was destined to be difficult and unlucky. She would only break free from this fate if she met the destined person. That really worried me."
"Now looking at you, you're that destined person for my granddaughter, right?! For Qingge to marry you, it's truly her greatest fortune."
Lin Xuan: "......."
Uh...
This... this should be a compliment, right?!
After all, I'm marrying into the Su family, doesn't that mean I'm essentially marrying Su Qingge...?
But hey, living off a woman doesn't sound so bad, right?!
After all, just lying down and being lazy with a rich woman taking care of me sounds pretty good~~~
After comforting Su Shengtian a few times, and waiting for his emotions to calm down, Lin Xuan then seriously reminded him: "Alright, Grandpa Su! Have you done any experiments with this pill?"
"After all, it's going to enter the market, it must be guaranteed to be flawless."
"Otherwise, if something goes wrong, not only will it fail to bring great opportunities, but the entire Su family could face a catastrophe."
Hearing this, Su Shengtian straightened his expression and placed the pill into Lin Xuan's hand.
"Don't worry! I understand the seriousness of this better than anyone!"
"That's why I personally supervised the experimental process and had a lot of testing done. Now we can ensure it's flawless."
"This pill is the most perfect creation so far. I thought I'd bring it to you to use first."
"After all, if it weren't for your prescription, this miraculous pill would never have come into being..."
Looking at the pill in his hand.
Lin Xuan didn't refuse, smiling as he accepted it.
He then turned and began to advise Su Shengtian...
Since the pill was fine, it could now begin mass production of the beauty pill...
Just as Lin Xuan and Su Shengtian finished discussing their plans.
Su Shengtian stood up with a smile and was about to leave...
…..
On the hospital bed.
Su Qingge showed no reaction on the surface, but in her heart, she had already fully heard everything Lin Xuan and Su Shengtian had said.
"Lin Xuan's prescription, it looks like the beauty pill has been successfully made?"
"But is the effectiveness really that miraculous?!"
"If it's true, that would be great."
"Maybe the Su family can seize this opportunity and rise to the top again."
…..
Since she hadn't seen the effect of the [Beauty Pill] with her own eyes, Su Qingge still had some doubts in her heart.
But she truly hoped that the pill was real.
In that case, maybe she would have a chance for revenge.
Of course, it was just a slim possibility...
After all, the strength of that family had already reached the pinnacle of the Magic City, making it hard to shake.
They had merely used some covert methods.
The Su family had fallen from being a top-tier second-tier family to the bottom of today's second-tier families.
"But no matter how slim the hope is, I will not give up."
"The death of my parents and brother is absolutely connected to that family."
"Perhaps my current coma is also related to them."
"That's why I must uncover the truth!"
"However, this may... end up putting Lin Xuan in danger..."
"Just as I thought! If it's really for Lin Xuan's sake, I'll have to part ways with him sooner or later."
"This would be the best result for both of us..."
.....
As Su Qingge's thoughts raced, wondering what reason she could give to reasonably break up with Lin Xuan when she woke up...
Tap~~~
She suddenly felt a cool sensation on her face, as if some gel-like substance was being applied to her face.
What is this?!
It feels so refreshing~~~
Wait, what exactly is being applied to my face?
At this moment.
Lin Xuan's voice came, explaining the current situation.
"Qingge! This beauty pill can be applied topically or taken internally."
"I saw you've been lying down for a while, and your skin is a bit dry, so I crushed the beauty pill and used it as a face mask for you. No need to thank me!"
"I thank you for what? My skin is fine, I don't need to put this stuff on!"
"Please wipe it off, it's so itchy! It's both itchy and cold, I hope it won't ruin my face!"
…..
Su Qingge was very resistant to skincare products.
Her skin had always been naturally beautiful, so she never needed these external aids.
Even before she fell into a coma, she had never used any cosmetics, and she instinctively felt that these chemical products weren't reliable.
Now that Lin Xuan was applying some mysterious medicine on her, she naturally felt some concern.
She was really afraid something would go wrong with her face...
Unfortunately, she couldn't move right now, and no one could hear her even if she screamed inside her mind. She was like a puppet, at the mercy of others...
…..
On the other side.
Lin Xuan sat at the bedside, holding a bowl with a small amount of water that had been mixed to form the beauty pill solution.
This method was also something he learned from the protagonist Su Yang's actions in the book.
"Alright! Perfect! I'll clean your face later, and your skin will definitely be smoother and softer."
He wiped the last bit of powder on the young woman's face.
Lin Xuan finally set the bowl down and nodded in satisfaction.
"Actually, the best way to use the beauty pill is to take it orally."
"It improves your internal organs from the inside out. Once your internal circulation is good, it'll show on your face with the healthiest complexion."
"But with your situation... maybe next time I'll crush it even finer, and then feed it to you mouth-to-mouth!"
"This pill melts in your mouth, so you don't have to worry about choking..."
Looking at Su Qingge's soft pink lips, Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and suddenly felt like it was time to sacrifice his charm.
After all, he was doing a good deed, and surely Qingge... shouldn't mind, right...
In the dark cage of her consciousness!
Su Qingge was originally listening carefully.
But she didn't expect Lin Xuan to get more and more outrageous, even suggesting that he feed her mouth-to-mouth?!
"No! Absolutely not!!!"
"Lin Xuan, don't mess around."
"This is my first kiss, I absolutely won't let it happen here."
"My internal organs are fine, I don't need any beauty pills."
"Pervert! If you dare steal my first kiss, when I wake up, you'll be dead!"
…..
When Su Qingge heard Lin Xuan say he would feed her mouth-to-mouth, she was completely horrified.
She considered herself to be a more traditional woman.
She had never even held a boy's hand growing up, let alone done something as... improper as kissing...
And she also had a slight aversion to men...
Besides.
Kissing is something that should at least happen when I'm awake, right?!
Su Qingge didn't want to lose her first kiss just like that while lying in bed, with no understanding of what was happening.
Such a sacred thing should only happen in a special moment...
No matter how much Su Qingge resisted.
As a person in a coma, she could only go along with it.
Luckily, Lin Xuan's sigh echoed again...
"Never mind! After all, this is your first kiss, Qingge, it should only be meaningful when you're awake."
"I'm a gentleman, how could I take advantage of you in your vulnerable state. My apologies, my apologies!"
"Qingge, did you hear that? When you wake up, you'll give me your first kiss, okay~~~ (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭?~"
"If you don't speak, I'll take that as your agreement... no backing out..."
After saying that.
Su Qingge felt her hand being held.
Then her pinky was pried open, accompanied by Lin Xuan's playful voice.
"Pinkie swear, a hundred years no change! If you break it, you're a little dog! U·ェ·U"
'You're the little dog! I didn't agree, you're cheating!'
'Also... how am I supposed to speak as a person in a coma, are you bullying me?!'
'How old are you, and you're still doing a pinkie swear? What a childish fool!'
'A gentleman wouldn't hold a comatose person's hand and force such a promise...'
…..
Feeling Lin Xuan's shamelessness as if he had already "cooked the rice" and made it happen.
Su Qingge couldn't stop mentally complaining.
But even though she was complaining.
Perhaps Su Qingge didn't even realize herself...
She didn't feel much disgust toward Lin Xuan's "shameless" actions.
In fact, through her interactions with him, she had gradually forgotten the despair and pain she felt when she first became comatose.
Now, at least every day, she had something to look forward to.
Unlike when it first started...
Every day, only thinking about how to end her painful life...
I want to live!
I want to live!
I want to wake up!!!
The strong will to survive lingered in Su Qingge's heart.
And she firmly believed that one day, she would definitely wake up again...
"A promise..."
"Although your method is shameless, who told me... I'm a person who likes to keep promises..."
"If one day I really wake up..."
"Hmph! At most... at most... I'll just let you kiss me once... ε=ε=ε=(#>д<)?..."
…..
What's going on?!
In the outside world!
Lin Xuan was holding Su Qingge's little hand.
He suddenly noticed that her pulse was racing.
"Qingge, your heartbeat is so fast?!"
"Did you hear what I was saying? Are you shy?"
Lin Xuan grinned, knowingly asking.
At the same time, he felt a bit of joy in his heart.
This was the first time he had clearly noticed something unusual about Su Qingge.
It seemed that the skills produced by the system were truly top-notch!!!
Perhaps...
The day Su Qingge wakes up is not far away...
But when that time comes, won't the plot of Su Yang returning to heal her be stolen by me?!
Ahem...
Sorry, big brother-in-law!!!
In the space of her consciousness, Su Qingge was stunned, unable to even complain out loud...
"Is this for real? Did Lin Xuan really figure out that I can perceive the outside world?!"
"No! That's not the point! He actually said I'm shy! No... impossible, what am I shy about?!"
"That annoying Lin Xuan."
"I was originally going to let you kiss me, but now... hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮. At most, it'll be just half of it..."
…..
At this moment.
As the two little lovers had a tacit understanding and silently exchanged dog food...
