Chapter 378: Fang Siyao asks Li Huanhuan to help buy the Youth-Preserving Pill

Fang Fang was in a dilemma, unsure if going to find Lin Meng again would still be welcome, whether the other party would still be willing to sell her the medicine.

Even if they were willing to sell, the medicine priced at two thousand per pill was hard for the Fang Family to bear.

But if they directly told Madam Wang Lin Meng's information, and if Lin Meng disliked others making decisions for her and introducing clients, then Lin Meng's impression of the Fang Family would only worsen.

Fang Fang thought left and right, and could only temporarily placate Madam Wang.

"Madam Wang, Miss Li, don't rush, seeing your condition improve also makes us happy; I will contact about the medicine as soon as possible, and will immediately inform you of any news."

Madam Wang saw her daughter's condition was good, able to move normally, so she followed Fang Fang to discuss follow-up treatment and settle the fees.

Li Huanhuan was bored; after her health issues, this was the first time she didn't feel unsteady or dizzy, her whole person seemed reborn, so she was in high spirits and strolled in the Fang Family garden.

At this moment, Fang Siyao had already received the news, knowing that Lin Meng's pill was miraculous, and she couldn't sit still.

The Nourishing Origin Pill could instantly restore vitality to a weakling, proving that Lin Meng's medicine was indeed powerful.

In that case, does the Youth-Preserving Pill Lin Meng mentioned work the same way?

Thinking of Lin Meng's face that made her jealous, Fang Siyao felt tormented and decided she must also obtain the Youth-Preserving Pill.

Coincidentally, she saw Li Huanhuan, and an idea immediately formed in her mind.

"Elder Sister Li?"

Fang Siyao pretended to have coincidentally run into Li Huanhuan, smiling as she walked up.

Li Huanhuan had some impression of Fang Siyao, a spoiled young lady with an ordinary temperament.

She originally did not want to have much interaction with Fang Siyao, and was about to give a casual reply before going to find her mother.

But Fang Siyao was impatient by nature, too lazy to beat around the bush, and a single sentence was enough to detain Li Huanhuan.

"Elder Sister Li, your health seems much improved; that medicine is pretty good, right? I know where to buy it."

Upon hearing that, Li Huanhuan immediately stopped her steps, turned to look at Fang Siyao.

"Little Sister Siyao, that medicine is very important to me; can you tell me?"

Fang Siyao couldn't hide the thoughts on her face, and immediately exclaimed:

"Telling you is no problem, but you must agree to one condition: only we two can know, you cannot tell a third person."

Upon hearing that, Li Huanhuan knew this young lady was up to something, but the Nourishing Origin Pill was truly too important for her, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Little sister, go ahead."

Seeing that she had agreed, Fang Siyao then told Li Huanhuan about Lin Meng's existence and the Youth-Preserving Pill.

"Miss Li, when you go to buy that Nourishing Origin Pill, please also buy a Youth-Preserving Pill for me; as for the price, if I can't come up with that much money at once, I'll repay you in installments—you can front the cost for me."

"If you agree, I'll tell you Lin Meng's address."

Li Huanhuan hadn't expected there to be a pill called Youth-Preserving Pill; seeing Fang Siyao's demeanor, she was determined to obtain it.

But she didn't want to go herself, instead insisting Li Huanhuan buy it for her, suggesting that Fang Siyao and Lin Meng had some grudge, and the conflict was not minor.

Li Huanhuan showed no suspicion, but instead went along with Fang Siyao's words:

"Okay, little sister, you've helped me a lot; I will definitely get the medicine you want."

Fang Siyao still felt uneasy, adding: "Make sure she never finds out it was me who told you."

Li Huanhuan nodded in agreement, kept Fang Siyao's address firmly in mind, and then went to find her mother.

After Li Huanhuan and her mother left, Fang Siyao felt pleased with herself.

Lin Meng surely hid that Youth-Preserving Pill, fearing other beauties would take it and outshine her in looks.

If she became a bit more beautiful, she would surely surpass Lin Meng!

By then, maybe even Ye Chenjing would notice her, and Lin Meng could only stand aside!

Meanwhile, Fang Siyao eagerly awaited Li Huanhuan's good news.

After Li Huanhuan and her mother left the Fang Family residence, they headed straight for the Hillside Villa.

"Mom, what did the Divine Doctor Fang say?"

Madam Wang furrowed her brows, sighed, and said:

"Divine Doctor Fang didn't reveal that mysterious seller, but I think she isn't unwilling to continue providing you medicine; she also hopes you get better, likely due to some reservations—I guess perhaps that mysterious seller dislikes strangers visiting."

Upon hearing that, Li Huanhuan also felt somewhat hesitant.

"What should we do? The Fang Family's spoiled granddaughter secretly told me that person's address; from the name it sounds like a woman, and Fang Siyao also asked me to buy a pill called Youth-Preserving Pill. I think Fang Siyao and that person are on bad terms, yet the Fang Family somehow has that person's medicine—what's going on?"

Madam Wang also couldn't see through it, but she lowered her voice and said:

"I just probed a bit, and that medicine is extremely expensive; we need to be mentally prepared."

Li Huanhuan furrowed her brows, but didn't want to just give up.

"How much does that Nourishing Origin Pill cost?"

Madam Wang shook her head, but pondered and said:

"This treatment cost, Divine Doctor Fang charged twenty-three million; combining the rates of those big names, I estimate that medicine would cost at least twenty million no matter how you calculate."

Li Huanhuan was shocked; this price was indeed too high, even ordinary wealthy families couldn't afford it.

Madam Wang's expression flickered as she said:

"That Fang Siyao had you buy Youth-Preserving Pill for her? It's a beauty pill, right? I think the Fang Family doesn't allow her to buy it, because the price is high, spending it on beauty is too wasteful for a traditional Chinese medicine family."

"Besides, don't be fooled by the Fang Family's outward prosperity; they actually spend heavily on research and supporting a large household, and right now they're looking into noble families, hoping to marry Fang Siyao into one."

"Mom tells you, later you go in alone; we two will go together, just in case they don't like unsolicited visitors—one person going is better than two."

"Also, regarding the Youth-Preserving Pill, you can inquire about it, but if you buy it… try not to help Fang Siyao, I'm afraid she'll scheme against you."

Madam Wang had known since her youth that the Fang Family's younger generation of lords and ladies were hardly talented, Fang Siyao had a bad personality and average connections.

Her daughter rarely got involved in affairs between noble young ladies, and having just recovered from a serious illness, it's best to avoid these troubles.

At the Hillside Villa entrance, Li Huanhuan requested a visit from the property management.

Lin Meng soon received a call from Butler Bai Liu.

I didn't expect someone else to come knocking for pills again; Lin Meng naturally wouldn't refuse.

Anyway, the news would get out sooner or later; she'd already made several million in the past two days, so she didn't mind earning a bit more.

But she didn't expect that the visitor coming to buy pills this time would be a very young lady.

Li Huanhuan also didn't expect the mysterious seller to be so young—several years younger than her—and she thought, perhaps it was a junior acting on behalf of an elder, making the purchase on their behalf.

But after a brief exchange of a few sentences, Li Huanhuan realized her assumption was too superficial and one-sided.

She had judged Lin Meng to be merely a middleman based on her age, an idea that was utterly ignorant.

Whether in her speech or her aura, Lin Meng gave Li Huanhuan the impression of someone in a superior position.

She herself came from a wealthy family, and she knew that such an aura on Lin Meng couldn't be faked merely through pretense and acting.

These Nourishing Origin Pills and Beauty-Preserving Pills are Lin Meng's own concoctions.
