How did he manage to completely ignore Zhai Zhongshen's powerful presence? Was he slow or something?

"Ahem," Luo Xiuen lightly coughed to remind Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi noticed Zhai Zhongshen when he returned to the laboratory. However, he pretended to not notice him. After all, if he wanted to compete against Zhai Zhongshen, he had to fake it until he makes it.

If he was stunned by Zhai Zhongshen's aura, he would lose the opportunity to compete for Long Yuetian's love from the very beginning.

"I arrived not long ago. I also brought some food over. As I don't know what you guys like to eat, so bought a bit of everything."

Long Yuetian did not feel the same pressure when she was facing Cheng Yi.

In fact, Long Yuetian only felt nervous when she spoke to Zhai Zhongshen. He was the only person who made her feel that way.

Cheng Yi smiled brightly and replied: "Thank you."

Upon hearing this response, Luo Xiuen said to herself: Miss Long didn't even buy this food for you. She bought this food for Yiling! What are you so happy about?

After she finished eating, Jian Yiling flipped through the information that Zhai Zhongshen gathered.

According to the information, in addition to being friends with Qin Chuan, it seemed as though Zhang Xin wanted to compete against her because his ancestors passed down a remedy that could delay the spread of lung cancer.

Although that remedy could not cure the disease, it could prolong the life of a patient who had lung cancer.

In other words, if Jian Yiling could not make progress in her research, Zhang Xin could easily win against her with just this remedy.

As Luo Xiuen sat beside Jian Yiling, she also read through the information.

When she finished reading, Luo Xiuen became incredibly angry: "This is outrageous! No wonder he was so sure and confident! I actually thought he had real skills! But no, he's just relying on his ancestors!"

Then, she rolled up her sleeves and called on Cheng Yi who was giggling with Long Yuetian: "Cheng Yi, go with me to settle the score with that guy!"

"Sister En, calm down, calm down!" Cheng Yi called out as he tried to slow Luo Xiuen down.

"Calm down? What do you mean by calm down? I'm clearly incredibly calm right now."

"Sister En, you're currently pregnant. If you rush over and get into a fight, Jian Yumin will definitely kill us!"

Upon hearing the words Jian Yumin, Luo Xiuen indeed calmed down.

Zhai Zhongshen added: "There's no need to be angry. If they want to win with that remedy left by their ancestors, I will definitely ruin their reputation."

Zhai Zhongshen's words reassured Luo Xiuen.

He was right. If he had the ability to find this information, he would definitely make corresponding preparations.

Furthermore, Zhai Zhongshen loved Yiling dearly. He would not let her be bullied by others.

Once again, Long Yuetian carefully glanced at Zhai Zhongshen.

It just so happened that the Second Master of the Zhai family also turned his head to look at her.

When their eyes met, Long Yuetian felt her heart beat faster and she hurriedly looked away.

Long Yuetian once again found an excuse to leave: "It's getting late. I don't want to disturb you guys anymore. I will take my leave."

Luo Xiuen asked Long Yuetian: "Oh? Where are you heading? Are you heading to the eastern suburbs of Beijing?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, if that's the case, could you bring Cheng Yi along with you? He has some business to deal with in the eastern suburbs as well."

As she said this, Luo Xiuen thought to herself that she could only help Cheng Yi this much.
