Amelia stood tall, her figure graceful, with a chilling smile at the corner of her eyes. "That's right, it’s cordyceps. When storing cordyceps, it’s important to avoid strong light, and the temperature should not exceed 20°C. The current temperature indoors is 24°C, with strong ultraviolet light. I put it in my bag to preserve its medicinal value. Surely, the Adler family wouldn’t lack this basic knowledge of medicine, would they?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room erupted into a commotion!
Gu Zhongguo continued sneering. "I’m hearing nonsense from you..."
"Zhongguo, shut up!" Evelyn snapped, her voice cutting through the noise.
Gu Zhongguo froze, turning to look at his aunt’s expression. Then he glanced around at the eyes staring back at him. Suddenly, his face grew pale.
Could it be... that this little girl was actually right?
"Hahaha, as expected from a disciple of Victoria, she has some in
"Everyone, please follow me!"Yin Loulan raised her hand, and hidden doors in the mansion began to shift.One by one, consultation rooms appeared before everyone's eyes.The doctors were required to treat patients in their assigned groups.Evelyn was the first to make a move, unable to wait any longer to show the world the Adler family's prowess—especially that arrogant little girl!It was clear that the patients brought in by the Jenkins family were indeed difficult to treat.Each group that went in and came out had a serious expression, and their time inside was long.Except for the Gu and Xiang families, who came out with smiles, even Yun Lingfeng seemed to be struggling, but at least he had written a prescription.Many of the others were still unclear about the diagnosis and began whispering to each other, like students discussing their answers after an exam."What exactly was the third patient’s conditio
"All done." She lifted her bag.The patient raised an eyebrow. "That’s it? Little… doctor, you didn’t even ask me what other symptoms I have besides the headache, or whether I have any underlying conditions. You didn’t even look at the images on the table, and yet you jumped to a conclusion—this is absurd."Amelia placed her pen back in the pen holder and smiled lightly. "You’re fine. No need to ask further."But Yun Xiao grabbed her and pulled her back. "No, sis, it’s only been five minutes! Let’s check again, okay? Look at the other groups; they spent at least twenty minutes on the first patient!""It’s not important." Amelia raised her hand in a carefree manner and decisively pressed the confirmation bell.The people outside the consultation room were still discussing the "answer," and when they saw how quickly they came out, they all burst into laughter."Such a short time, they coul
"Yixin Hall!"Yin Loulan looked at Amelia, a smile hidden in her eyes.As soon as the result was announced, the entire hall fell silent.Everyone stared, wide-eyed in disbelief. "Yixin Hall is first? How is that possible?"Xiang Yifeng’s face changed, and Evelyn couldn’t contain herself, snatching the note from Yin Loulan’s hand. It clearly read "Yixin Hall!"Mia’s smile vanished. How could this be? Could that woman really be good at medicine?In an instant, all eyes turned toward Amelia, Henry, and Yun Xiao.Yun Xiao, as a self-proclaimed medical failure, had never received such attention. Even his hand, which had been yawning, stopped.Henry was in a daze. Were they really first?Only Amelia remained calm and composed, her gaze light, neither hurried nor flustered.Evelyn couldn’t tolerate losing in front of everyone to an unknown wild girl. She clenched the note tightly and steadie
"Grandfather," Yin Loulan stepped forward.The bodyguards in black lined up in a row, standing solemnly on either side of the elder.In order to feign illness, Old Master Yin had his head wrapped in bandages. At this moment, he dramatically pulled them off, giving Amelia a meaningful glance before turning to face the crowd.The Jenkins family, known for their generations of loyalty, carried a heavy and imposing aura. When Old Master Yin's gaze swept over them, it seemed to weigh heavily on everyone's hearts."I heard your discussion just now from the consultation room," Old Master Yin stood as firm as a pine tree, his eyes sharp like those of a tiger. "Yixin Hall is first. It is well-deserved."Who would dare refute the words of Old Master Yin himself?Xiang Yifeng, who had been questioning the reasoning behind the diagnosis earlier, immediately fell silent.Evelyn, trying to save face, forced a smile and said, "We didn't realize it w
Mia bit her lip and shook her head. "It’s not my sister’s fault. the Milton family has undergone such great changes that she couldn’t accept it."Though this explanation seemed harmless, it was, in fact, a subtle attack on Amelia.Xiang Zichen furrowed his brow. "Mia, speak up. Don't be afraid. We are here, and she won’t be able to bully you!""She hasn’t bullied me!" Mia stretched her neck, lowering her eyes in a delicate, vulnerable way. "She just misunderstood us. The Gu and Ye families have a good relationship. My teacher took me as his disciple, and my father, in return, gave the the Heart Herb to the Adler family as a gesture of thanks, and then..."Xiang Zichen sneered, "And then she just comes here stirring up trouble for no reason!""Zichen, calm down," Evelyn interjected, maintaining a gracious demeanor. "Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, it’s fine. Otherwise, people might think the Adler family
Amelia didn’t say a word. She simply bit down on a piece of fruit candy, her long, jet-black hair cascading down, her gaze directed towards the grandfather clock in the hall.Evelyn, thinking that Amelia had given up, sat back confidently, still holding Mia's hand.Yet Mia, for reasons she couldn’t explain, felt her heart racing. Perhaps it was because the man she was about to see would soon be here...She lowered her gaze, staring at the wooden box. Sure enough, the the Heart Herb was the key to the Jenkins family’s door.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Old Master Yin extended his hand and carefully lifted the wooden box. People were envious and were about to congratulate Evelyn.But then, Old Master Yin spoke in a low voice, "Although my Jenkins family is not without faults, we would never steal from others. Life and death are fated, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. The the Heart Herb is indeed rare, but my Je
People were still caught up in the wave of admiration for the Adler family.Bang!The heavy sound of a door being kicked open echoed through the hall!A group of plainclothes officers burst in suddenly, as if executing some special mission. They rushed forward and pinned Evelyn and Gu Zhongguo to the ground!The officers moved so quickly and decisively, their actions fierce and precise.Gu Zhongguo continued shouting, “Who are you people? How dare you treat us, the Adler family, like this…”The leader raised his hand and flashed his ID. “Supreme Action Group!”The Supreme Action Group?Everyone was stunned!How could the Supreme Action Group be here?Elder Yin raised an eyebrow but didn’t speak, his wise eyes observing everything silently.Amelia remained unmoved, still standing in the shadowed area where the camera couldn’t reach, casually sucking on a candy, her
Evelyn waved her hand. “Exactly, surgery is the only option. If you don’t believe me, go see someone else. But don’t come to me. Next!”The elderly man panicked. “Dr. Adler, I was wrong. You’re the expert in this area. My condition…”The video cut to black.Then, another video emerged.On screen, Evelyn was sneering coldly. “Country bumpkins are always so troublesome.”A trainee doctor was heard saying, “Dr. Adler, this isn’t right. It’s just a small cyst, benign. We can try…”Evelyn shot him a vicious look. “I’m the director here, not you.”Within days, that trainee doctor was fired from the hospital and never seen again.In the same month, Evelyn publicly announced that the doctor had caused a medical incident under her supervision and advised other hospitals not to hire him and for schools not to issue his medical ce
"Amelia!?" How could it be that girl?! Jackson stepped back in disbelief, nearly stumbling. If it weren’t for the bodyguards catching him, he might have collapsed right there. Mr. Lee, who had even canceled a business meeting just to see someone, was actually meeting with Amelia?! How could that be?! Jackson was dragged a meter away and slowly regained his composure, but by then, it was too late to rush back inside and see clearly. He couldn’t be mistaken—it was definitely Amelia! And she was sitting with the old lady, the same one who had picked up that little beggar all those years ago! But how could that girl have any connection to Mr. Lee? Jackson racked his brain, then suddenly had a flash of insight. "Live stream!" he murmured to himself. "I remember Mary said the old lady was doing live streaming with that girl!"
Jackson had his own little tricks. With such a grand entrance, it was easy for anyone to notice when Mr. Lee arrived. He could ask Uncle Will and Emma to inquire about where Mr. Lee went, and it wouldn’t be hard to find out which restaurant he was at. If that didn’t work, he would just go find the old lady! But before he could even make it inside, he saw Assistant Ken standing guard outside a copper drum hotpot restaurant. And the table by the window was none other than Chris! Jackson was stunned. He had been eating at this copper drum hotpot since he was a child, and the place was small and run-down. How could someone like Mr. Lee, such a big shot, be eating here? In reality, it was Amelia who chose the place. When Amelia did things, she prioritized convenience: "More meat, Elijah loves it." Chris, with a smile that bordered on flattery, said, "Bring 20 plates of lamb!" Eli
"I... I... this..." He really didn’t know how to explain himself anymore!In the end, it was Amelia who rescued him. She softly comforted the old lady, "Grandmother, he was introduced by the Hart family and has appeared on our LA TV station.""Appeared on TV!?" Mrs. Victoria’s attitude changed immediately. She looked at Chris, "Then he’s a distinguished guest. We must treat him well!"Chris now began to feel lucky for having appeared on television these past two days."No need for that. I—"Amelia interrupted him with a smile, "Yes, we do need to treat him well. I'll take him to a restaurant later.""Right, we should go to a restaurant," Mrs. Victoria added. People of their age may not trust much, but they certainly believed in TV recommendations, "Your Grandpa Hart still thinks about us."Chris: ... Hart? Which Hart? Who is that?Amelia gave him a look, "Our principal is always like this. You know
Assistant Ken still couldn't believe it. His hands were still trembling as he adjusted his glasses. If Jackson ever found out the boss's true identity, he'd regret it for sure! Now, Assistant Ken understood why Mr. Will had entrusted certain projects to Milton's small company—it was all because of the big boss! Holding his glasses, Assistant Ken opened his mouth: "... Boss, you..." "It seems Assistant Ken has recognized me," Amelia said, a faint smile playing on her lips, her dark eyes gleaming. Assistant Ken quickly explained, "I didn’t know it was you back at the Milton family villa. If I had, I would have... I would have..." "I didn’t want anyone to know," Amelia casually played with her teacup, her voice calm. "You did the right thing." Chris, confused, asked, "Milton family villa? What’s this about?" Assistant Ken lowered his gaze, "Mr. Lee, I&
“Uncle, why are you still trying to deceive me?” The person who entered wasn’t anyone else—it was Chris, laughing heartily with a smug expression on his face. Uncle Will, startled, quickly hid behind Amelia. Amelia lifted her eyes slightly, her gaze calm and indifferent, her face still stunningly beautiful and captivating. It was impossible not to notice her. As soon as Chris entered, his eyes fell on the young girl, but he didn’t immediately recognize her as someone connected to his boss. With his bodyguards in tow, he confidently walked further inside. “Kid, is your elder around? I’m not feeling too well, and I saw your live stream online, so I thought I’d come check on you.” Chris knew how to play the game. Since the boss lived in a place like this, it was clear she preferred to keep her identity low-profile. However
“Mr. Lee, this is the place.” The luxury vehicle stopped at a street corner. Chris looked skeptically at the narrow, old stone alley and furrowed his brows. “Are you sure?” How could the boss be in a place like this? Nearby, there was a vegetable market, with elderly people bargaining for produce. Chris had never set foot in a place like this since he entered the business world. Assistant Ken, who was always calm, said, “This is indeed ClearWater Alley. Or would you prefer to go to the hospital across the street to find someone?” “Hospitals? No, no.” Chris pointed to the alley. “This is fine. Let’s go in.” The boss would never go to a hospital—she hated the smell of blood. With that, Chris jumped out of the car, followed by a row of black-suited bodyguards. The scene looked
Meanwhile, on another livestream, things weren’t going as smoothly in pretty girl's stream. The viewers were relentless, urging MrBigbro to send another 50 meteor showers. 【Love pretty girl: MrBigbro, can you really put up with this?】 【Hope it's You: MrBigbro, keep it going!】 【Take a Look: MrBigbro can't be out of steam, right?】 MrBigbro, being an internal staff member of the platform, didn’t mind sending a few gifts, but he wasn’t foolish either. With a cigarette in his mouth, he typed, 【MrBigbro: Another 50 meteor showers? Is that what Sister pretty girl wants too?】 pretty girl, though unwilling, forced a smile and replied, “Of course not, MrBigbro. Just having you come to my live stream makes me so happy! You’ve always been so generous, and you’ve already sent so much today—MrBigbro, you’re truly amazing!” The small
"Mr. Lee, I’ve been waiting so long to see you..." Jackson stretched out his hand, eager to establish a connection. The bodyguards immediately blocked him: "Mr. Lee has important matters to attend to. Business talks will be tomorrow." "It’s not business!" Jackson struggled, trying to push forward. "It’s a personal matter, a personal matter!" The bodyguards hesitated for a moment. Then, Chris’s voice cut through: "Who’s blocking the way? Move them aside." Jackson knew that if he delayed Chris in finding the boss, he’d be the one held responsible! Seeing that his initial approach wasn’t working, Jackson shouted loudly, "Mr. Lee, why is Wilson Group cutting off cooperation with Milton's Group? There was no warning at all! What should I do about all the steel I’ve stockpiled!" The bodyguards had no patience for his shouting and immediately cov
"Mr. Lee?" The person speaking looked at him in confusion. Chris didn’t care about the influence these people had in LA. He grabbed one of them and asked, "It’s her. Do you know this streamer?" The person was stunned. "Mr. Lee, this is the business association. She’s just a small-time streamer..." "What do you know!" Chris didn’t say the rest of his thoughts aloud, but his irritation was clear. "Forget it, I’ll find her myself." ClearWater Alley, Harmony Clinic—he could follow the navigation to get there. This meeting, which was meant to attract foreign investment, had originally been set up for Chris’s benefit. Now that he wanted to leave, others were definitely going to be upset. "Mr. Lee, the meeting isn’t finished yet. You..." Remington, relying on his influence in the pharmaceutical field, added a few more words. "It&rsq
