523: Pei Rong Steals the Glory

Pei Rong Steals the Glory

After some time, Pei Rong looked at Lin Shuwen calmly. "Uh huh. If everything goes smoothly, he should recover soon."0

Lin Shuwen was so delighted that he almost wanted to grab Pei Rong's hands. "Thank you so much, Young Master Pei. Otherwise, he would not have recovered."

However, Fang Chen frowned as he glanced at Lin Shuwen.

Instead, Pei Rong shook his head and smiled. "I am undeserving of your gratitude. I merely made minor adjustments to Miss Huo's prescription and didn't do much."

Fang Chen's condition improved vastly after taking a decoction of Huo Yao's prescription on the first day, so Pei Rong got him to take the pills he refined based on the prescription the next day.

He was certain that pills would be more effective than a decoction.

Sure enough, Fang Chen's pulse proved his point.

Lin Shuwen thought Pei Rong was being modest, so he said, "Miss Huo might be a good physician, but the pills you made are clearly very effective."

Pei Rong straightened his back before he said, "I will refine pills using the second prescription today and send them over."

"Thank you so much for your help, Young Master Pei." Lin Shuwen sounded increasingly polite.

"You're welcome."

Before long, Pei Rong stopped talking and left the guest room.

After he left, Lin Shuwen veered his eyes and looked at Fang Chen. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Fang Chen's voice coming from the bed.

"You are starting to pander to the rich more and more." Fang Chen glanced at Lin Shuwen calmly. His skinny face was serious as usual.

Lin Shuwen clearly knew that the young lady had come up with the prescription, but he deliberately gave Pei Rong the credit.

Lin Shuwen went quiet for two seconds and said nothing as he walked to the side. He retrieved his briefcase, and took out a set of documents from it. He walked over and handed it to Fang Chen.

"Miss Huo is from a normal family. On the other hand, Pei Rong is about to become an advanced apothecary. I just felt that between the two of them, we should try and be friends with Pei Rong more."

If Pei Rong had no intention of making strong ties with Fang Chen, he would not have made an excuse for Fang Chen to continue staying at the Pei residence. He also deliberately refined pills to help make the prescription more effective.

Pei Rong wanted to befriend Fang Chen and Fang Chen needed Pei Rong's connections. Why should Lin Shuwen turn away from the opportunity?

Lin Shuwen was keenly aware of what Pei Rong was doing.

He knew they had the young lady to thank for Fang Chen's recovery. But so what?

They had already paid the consultation fees to Huo Yao. If they ever crossed paths in the future, they would be strangers at best.

Fang Chen scanned through the report. It was not a very detailed report and only contained brief descriptions of Huo Yao's complicated family tree including her foster parents, biological parents, brothers, and their occupations.

He quickly put down the report and raised his head to look at Lin Shuwen. "In a minute, go tell Old Mr. Pei that we are leaving."

Fang Chen paused before he added. "Arrange for gifts to be sent to the Huo family."

Lin Shuwen did not retort and agreed right away. After all, Fang Chen owed Huo Yao his life, so it was only right to send them gifts.

Lin Shuwen took the report from Fang Chen. Just as he was about to place it back in his briefcase, his eyes landed on the name of the patriarch of the Lu family, and he went into a daze. The name seemed somewhat familiar.

After going through his description, Lin Shuwen instantly recalled that Lu Corporation was one of the bidders for a city project.
