“I’m getting old. After staying in one place for too long, I can’t bear to move.”
…
Wang Gang smiled and shook his head. He said to He Youran and the others, “Miss, didn’t you want to see the formula? Come with me.”
After he finished speaking, Wang Gang led the way.
He Youran and Lu Qingzhuo looked at each other and silently followed behind him.
The He family’s pharmaceutical factory looked much shabbier compared to the other big factories. The current formula was from decades ago. Although the medicine had curative effects, it wasn’t as good as the newly developed new medicine. Only some old customers who were used to using these medicines would buy them occasionally.
He Youran carefully looked at the formula as she pondered.
From her professional point of view, there was nothing strange about these formulas. The pharmaceutical factory looked very ordinary. It was just an ordinary pharmaceutical factory.
So what was it that made the Gu family so determined to get it?
“Uncle Wang, do you know that the Gu family wants to buy the pharmaceutical factory?” He Youran hesitated for a moment before asking.
Rather than making wild guesses, she might as well ask directly.
Wang Gang was his mother’s confidant. If he really knew something, he wouldn’t hide it from her.
“I know.” Wang Gang nodded, “Speaking of which, Gu Tianming, the head of the Gu family, is acquainted with your mother. In the field of medicine, Gu Tianming’s talent is not as good as your mother’s. I think he’s determined to buy the pharmaceutical factory because he’s unwilling to accept it, right?”
Gu Tianming and her mother actually had such a deep relationship?
He Youran was extremely surprised.
“The Gu family is already very mature in the medical industry. My father doesn’t have the talent to do business. I think it’s better to sell the pharmaceutical factory to the Gu family so that it doesn’t fall into my father’s hands and he won’t screw it up,” He Youran said calmly.
“Miss, it might be a little rude to say this, but your father…” Wang Gang was about to say something when he saw Lu Qingzhuo and swallowed his words. He let out a long sigh and changed the topic. “Although the profits from the pharmaceutical factory are average, they still make money. All these years, your income has been dependent on the profits from the pharmaceutical factory.”
“What? !” This was the first time He Youran had heard of this.
She had always known that He Nantian didn’t like her. When she was young, she thought that it was because of the birthmark on her face that her father hated her. But, even so, He Nantian still provided food and clothes for her. So, she always comforted herself, and her father still cared about her.
But…
“The old madam kept this pharmaceutical factory for the sake of the young miss, so that you can have a career when you grow up,” Wang Gang said softly as he looked at He Youran tenderly.
He Youran couldn’t tell what she was feeling in her heart, but she felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness.
It was said that parents had a place in life, and when parents were gone people only had an end to go to.
Even if He Nantian didn’t treat her well, deep down in her heart, she still had a sense of admiration for him.
Now, she knew that He Nantian had never liked her. Even the way he raised her was because of the “Maintenance money” her mother had left for her.
She really suspected if she was He Nantian’s child?
Otherwise, as his daughter, why did He Nantian treat her and He Xxue’er so differently?
“Youran, you still have me.” Lu Qingzhuo saw that she was at a loss, as if she had been hit by Wang Gang’s words. Her entire body was shrouded in sadness. She couldn’t help but reach out to hold her hand and speak softly.
His voice was gentle and deep, bringing He Youran out of her depressed mood.
She looked at Lu Qingzhuo and smiled, then held his hand back.
