Cheng Ming had a lengthy talk at his end.
"It's not a big deal to me. I don't have a grandfather, more so a sister."
Then, Cheng Ling hung up and blacklisted Cheng Ming's cell phone number.
18 years ago, the Cheng family brought Cheng Ling back, but Cheng Ming and Xie Wan never did their duty as parents. It was Xie Ying who did everything.
In the eyes of the Cheng family, Cheng Ling had always been an outsider.
The Cheng family had never formally introduced Cheng Ling to others. When they had guests, they would just casually mention about her. They had never taken Cheng Ling seriously.
Cheng Ling did not miss such a family at all.
"What's wrong?" Lu Qi saw that Cheng Ling's mood was not as good as before after taking the phone call.
Cheng Ling only shook her head slightly. "Nothing, I just received a boring phone call."
"Since it's a boring phone call, don't let it ruin your good mood."
When the elevator arrived, Lu Qi slightly bent over, put his left hand behind his back, and extended his right hand forward, making a "please" gesture. His eyebrows and eyes were curved, and the warm yellow lights in the hotel lobby softened his thin outline.
Cheng Ling smiled and walked into the elevator.
When he heard that Cheng Ling was coming, Lu Xiu waited in the room.
"Miss Cheng, please take a seat."
Cheng Ling sat down suspiciously. Was this really the head of the Lu family? Why... was he such a lackey?
"Lu Bei, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get Miss Cheng some water. Miss Cheng is an important guest."
"The water is too hot! How do you want Miss Cheng to drink it?"
"It's cold! Drinking too much cold water is not good for girls!"
Lu Bei made three trips and finally got some water that Lu Xiu was satisfied with.
"Come, Miss Cheng, please have some water!"
Cheng Ling, "Do you have any cola?"
Lu Bei, "..."
"I'm just kidding. This water will do."
Lu Qi sat opposite Cheng Ling, "Miss Cheng, do you know what illness I have?"
Cheng Ling took a sip of water to moisten her throat. She recalled the faint smell of medicine that she smelled on Lu Qi last night.
"I don't know what illness it is exactly. But your face is pale, you easily get tired, you easily get cold, and..." Cheng Ling deliberately sniffed, "You have the smell of Dragon Pill Powder on you, so you must have been taking it for a long time. Dragon Pill Powder is used to relieve the poison in your liver. I think... you must have been poisoned."
Lu Xiu's eyes began to shine when he heard Cheng Ling's words. Lu Qi's eyes were filled with an unnoticeable appreciation.
Dragon Pill Powder was a medicine that the Wu family, an aristocratic family of traditional Chinese medicine, had personally concocted for Lu Qi six years ago. As the raw material was very rare, it was not sold in the market at all.
Cheng Ling not only knew about this medicine, but she could also smell it through its smell.
This alone was enough to prove Cheng Ling's deep attainments in this field.
Seeing their expressions, Cheng Ling knew that she was right. Speaking of which, Cheng Ling also had a part to play in making the Dragon Pill Powder. Six years ago, in order to find the antidote, professor Wu went to all mountains and searched everywhere. Cheng Ling met Professor Wu at the back of the mountain.
A medicinal herb that she planted, Jin Yu, was found by Professor Wu.
This herb could only be found on the highest snow mountain. However, Cheng Ling had improved this herb so that it could adapt to the land. Therefore, Jin Yu grew very well on Cheng Ling's land.
It was because of this herb that Professor Wu was able to successfully develop the Dragon Pill Powder.
Although Cheng Ling did not know the medicinal direction of Dragon Pill Powder, she was very familiar with its smell. Therefore, when she smelled Lu Qi's body last night, she knew that Lu Qi must be suffering from a serious disease.
"Let me check your pulse first to see how you are doing now."
Cheng Ling gently placed her three fingers on Lu Qi's wrist, closed her eyes, and carefully felt the pulse.
After about 30 seconds, she opened her eyes.
"Miss Cheng, how is my brother's illness?" Lu Xiu asked anxiously.
"This poison -- is it Qianji Powder?"
"You know about Qianji Powder?" This time, even Lu Qi was shocked.
Qianji Powder was the most poisonous poison in the world, but no one knew about the fundamental of this poison.
For so many years, the doctors who treated Lu Qi only prescribed medicine based on Lu Qi's symptoms. Thus, it could not address the root of the problem. They could only slightly alleviate it.
No one had ever been able to name such a poison, and Cheng Ling actually knew about it?
"Yes, it's Qianji Powder. The moment the poison is triggered, it will affect the internal organs. If the poison is not detoxified, one day you will..."
"...die."
Cheng Ling did not say the last word because everyone understood.
