Chapter 375: Nourishing Origin Pill, Awakening Pill, Beauty-Preserving Pill—Fang Family head, choose one!

Lin Meng saw that the Fang Family head was indeed sincere, and not hiding anything, she thought for a moment and said:

"I still have a Nourishing Origin Pill that nourishes qi and blood, an Awakening Pill that refreshes the mind and dispels fatigue, and… a Beauty-Preserving Pill that beautifies and preserves the complexion. Of these three pills, the Fang Family head may choose one to buy."

Lin Meng spoke of the three pills, which were not too shocking; when she mentioned the Beauty-Preserving Pill, she caught out of the corner of her eye Fang Siyao's gaze suddenly shift, clearly having an ulterior motive.

Fang Fang was naturally shocked upon hearing this; the pills with the same effects as the Nourishing Origin Pill and Awakening Pill are actually also refined by their Fang Family, but she does not know how the pills in Lin Meng's hand differ from their own.

As for the Beauty-Preserving Pill, Fang Fang dismissed it outright upon hearing about it.

The Fang Family has a whitening pill, but its effect is mediocre.

Beauty relies most directly on medical procedures; pills are merely supplementary, slow to take effect, and less meaningful than pills that cure disease and save lives.

Fang Fang quickly formed a plan, was about to speak, but felt her arm being shaken nonstop.

Fang Siyao was anxious, sweating profusely, but dared not shout loudly; she could only keep shaking Fang Fang to attract her attention.

"Grandma, please buy that Beauty-Preserving Pill! You must buy the Beauty-Preserving Pill!"

Fang Siyao eagerly wanted to know why Lin Meng's face looked as delicate as something that could be blown apart, her skin better than that of celebrities and noblewomen who spend fortunes on daily upkeep, wondering if it was because she had taken the Beauty-Preserving Pill.

She no longer doubted whether Lin Meng's pills were genuine; upon hearing the three words "Beauty-Preserving Pill", she went completely crazy.

Fang Fang, shaken until dizzy, angrily shoved Fang Siyao's hand away and gave her a dark glare.

Although Fang Siyao feared her grandmother's punishment, the allure of the Beauty-Preserving Pill was too great for her.

From the first moment she saw Lin Meng, she felt a strong jealousy.

Her family background and status surpassed Lin Meng's in every way, yet her appearance could not compare.

【17> She often secretly wondered, if she too could look as beautiful as Lin Meng, with skin as fair and radiant as hers, would Ye Chenjing also take notice of her?

She often secretly wondered, if she could also be as beautiful as Lin Meng, with skin as fair and radiant as hers, would Ye Chenjing also be attracted to her?

Men are visual creatures; Ye Chenjing must have been captivated by Lin Meng's appearance!

She must obtain that Beauty-Preserving Pill!

Fang Fang glared fiercely at Fang Siyao, regretting deeply that she should not have brought her; a foolish person is beyond help!

Lin Meng saw this, and the corner of her mouth twitched into a barely perceptible cold smile.

She suddenly turned her gaze to Fang Siyao and teased:

"The Fang Family head comes to ask for pills, yet you brought her along? She's here for……"

Upon mentioning Fang Siyao, Fang Fang no longer spared any face for her granddaughter, grabbed her by the hair, pressed her head down, and said to Lin Meng:

"Miss Lin, I'm not afraid of your ridicule; this granddaughter of mine is spoiled rotten, she has offended you many times before, and I actually brought her today to apologize to you."

After Fang Fang finished speaking, she pinched Fang Siyao hard and said sternly:

"Do you remember what I just told you? Now apologize to Miss Lin, sincerely!"

Fang Siyao's mind went blank with a boom; she realized her grandmother had brought her along to apologize to Lin Meng.

"Apologize? For what? She hasn't done anything wrong!"

"I don't……"

Before she could even get the "no" out, Fang Fang pinched Fang Siyao hard again, causing her face to twist in pain and her voice to falter.

"Fang Siyao, don't force me to strike you here!"

Fang Siyao jolted awake, her whole body shuddering; despite her reluctance, she could only endure the physical and mental discomfort to apologize to Lin Meng.

"Lin Meng, I'm sorry."

Lin Meng secretly raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly:

"Oh? How has Miss Fang wronged me?"

Fang Siyao gritted her teeth; her mood at this moment could no longer be described as merely stifled.

She clenched her teeth and forced out a few words:

"I shouldn't have spoken rashly to you, looked down on you, or competed with you for Ye Chenjing!"

Lin Meng was stunned by these words; competing with her for Ye Chenjing?

She suddenly let out a cold laugh, fixed her gaze on Fang Siyao, and said:

"You're wrong; even without me, you could never gain Ye Chenjing's attention. Do you think a woman's worth is only reflected through a man? You really ought to apologize properly to me—you've underestimated me too much."

Upon hearing this, Fang Siyao stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Lin Meng.

At this moment, Lin Meng no longer paid attention to Fang Siyao, turning her gaze to Fang Fang.

"Fang Family head, have you decided? Which pill would you like to choose?"

Fang Fang also came to her senses, her gaze becoming exceedingly complex.

Even though she had previously underestimated and misjudged Lin Meng, she had once thought Lin Meng was merely a pretty face; now she realized she had often been overly self-confident, always believing she could see through young people at a glance.

Fang Fang took a deep breath, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but she still needed to make a decision quickly.

She thought for a moment and said:

"I want the Nourishing Origin Pill; please, Miss Lin, name your price."

"Bound by invisible rules, Lin Meng couldn't make an exorbitant demand, yet she didn't want to simply sell the pill to the Fang Family, so she said:"

"Twenty million each; if you can accept it, take it away."

"The Jade Marrow Pill sells for twenty million; the Nourishing Origin Pill is essentially a inferior version of the Jade Marrow Pill, and normally selling for several million would already be astronomical."

"Lin Meng boldly asked for twenty million, intending to test the meaning of the rules; she felt no discomfort, indicating this price is permitted."

Upon hearing this, Fang Fang's heart leapt in shock.

"It's too expensive, far beyond her psychological price point."

"She usually charges wealthy clients for pills, only daring to collect up to a million per pill, which already counts as astronomical."

"But Lin Meng outright demanded twenty million; this unit price alone would be enough to hire her as a private physician for this divine doctor!"

"Lin Meng had no intention of backing down; she took out the Nourishing Origin Pill and placed it on the table."

"The pill is in the porcelain vial; if the Fang Family head can accept it, just pay and take it away; if you think it's too pricey, then please leave—my Nourishing Origin Pill today is set at this price, buy it or not."

If someone else treated Fang Fang like that, she would surely slam the table and stand up, but the other party had a more potent pill in hand; just based on that, Fang Fang dared not offend Lin Meng again.

So she gritted her teeth and actually paid twenty million, then took Fang Siyao and left without any hesitation.

After they left, Lin Meng looked at the extra twenty million in her account, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Fang Siyao, this is the price for your repeated rude remarks toward me.

After leaving the villa, Fang Siyao still hadn't come to her senses.

Only when the car was driving on the highway did she finally snap out of it, her voice trembling from shock.

"Grandma, this pill actually costs twenty million? You must have been ripped off by Lin Meng!"

Fang Fang, however, weakly sighed, leaning against the seat as if all her strength had been drained.

"Even so, we can only accept it, Siyao—don't blame Grandma for not giving you face. You've seen it: Lin Meng holds a grudge, and a big reason we spent so much on this pill is that you offended her."

"Siyao, remember this: from now on, don't ever try to compete with Lin Meng—you're no match for her, and not just you; I'm afraid the entire Fang Family won't even be in her eyes."
