Chapter 257: Chapter 11: Twin Sisters (11)

“Dad, I’ve left special markings on my medicine during the refining process. If there are counterfeit products, they won’t be able to replicate it. By then, we wouldn’t want the Li Family’s reputation to be damaged because of fake medicine.”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll handle this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late if fake medicine really appears.”

Later, the Li Family announced some characteristics of the pills to the public. The medicine was originally a transparent marble-like pill.

When it’s time to use it, the pill can be pinched open, revealing white medicinal powder inside. However, after applying all the powder to the wound, there’s a thin, transparent layer with mysterious markings on the inside. These markings were seen by Li Shuning when she was in the Immortal Realm, and she remembered them. This time, when refining the elixir pills, she unintentionally thought of them and applied them during the process.

And the Li Family announced these markings to the public by magnifying them directly.

Because Li Shuning was very sure that no one could reproduce these markings.

These markings could not be replicated by anyone who isn’t a cultivator, and even if someone were a cultivator, if they couldn’t fully comprehend the markings, they wouldn’t be able to reproduce them.

And those markings are things from the Immortal Realm; back then, Li Shuning could comprehend them because she was an Immortal.

The layer of shell covering the wound coated with medicinal powder, although small, can also melt and contains medicinal properties.

If Li Zhu hadn’t sent someone to announce this situation, fake medicine would probably appear in a few days.

Some even tried to study the markings but found that creating markings on the pill’s shell seemed ridiculous, being so small and looking so “high-end”.

Many people were unwilling to give up and thought about starting from the research institute’s angle.

If they could steal the formula, wouldn’t that be great?

However, the research institute of the Li Family was heavily guarded, and ordinary people couldn’t get in.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaodie returned home after being firmly rejected by Li Zhu; Li Xiangning was still waiting there.

“Mom, how did it go?”

“Xiangxiang, your dad disagreed. Your dad is right. If the Chu Family is forcing you to seek cooperation, it shows that the Chu people are unreliable. Our family and the Chu Family have a decent relationship, and even without that medicine, I don’t think the Chu Family would say much.”

Li Xiangning’s face turned pale in an instant. She had previously boasted in front of her grandfather and others, and now that her dad disagreed, wouldn’t she be ridiculed to death when she went back?

Yes, that’s right, they didn’t force her, but their words were particularly piercing, making her feel that her marriage to Chu Tao was a mistake, giving her a deep sense of crisis.

Li Xiangning persisted for a long time, but Jiang Xiaodie was powerless. Having been married to Li Zhu for many years, she knew his character very well. It was obvious that Li Zhu was very angry.

Jiang Xiaodie also knew one thing, which was that it wasn’t Li Zhu who had the final say on this medicine, but Li Shuning.

And Li Shuning was unlikely to let the Chu Family get the selling rights.

Li Xiangning left in despair, and as she was leaving, Jiang Xiaodie still said: “Xiangxiang, if it’s impossible, go and ask your sister for forgiveness. If you make peace with her, then this situation can be resolved.”

Li Xiangning was furious. Why should she apologize?

Does that mean it’s Li Shuning causing trouble?

Both are daughters, so why is Dad so biased? Isn’t the Li Family’s assets supposed to have her share too?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and Li Xiangning directly voiced her thoughts.

Jiang Xiaodie sighed: “Your dad said this medicine was entirely developed by Shuning and is considered her personal property.”

Li Xiangning returned home in a daze.

Many in the Chu Family were waiting for Li Xiangning’s news.

The pill’s profit was simply too great.

Although the Chu Family was doing well in business, who wouldn’t want to advance further?

Seeing Li Xiangning’s return, someone commented that Xiangning had returned, but she went straight to her room without a word.

This left the people in the living room stunned, and then the next moment, they were furious.

Most people present were elders of Li Xiangning, so what does it mean for her to ignore everyone like this?

Xu Minrong suddenly smiled: “I think she went home, was told no, and probably feels bad. Don’t blame her.”

Being her daughter-in-law, Xu Minrong still wanted to speak for Li Xiangning, even though she didn’t like her.

Upon reflection, everyone understood, but they still thought Li Xiangning lacked manners.

Chu Zhen suddenly remarked, “I heard that this medicine was personally developed by Li Shuning, and she holds a lot of say in it.”

Chu Zhen is Chu Fan’s brother.

Everyone present felt helpless.

It all comes back to Chu Tao being foolish for marrying such an uneducated woman.

Chu Tao himself was also a bit at a loss.

Chu Tao wandered to the garden, sitting in a daze, lost in thought.

Xu Minrong followed him out.

“Son, what’s wrong?”

“Mom, I’m confused, with Xiangning and me…”

“Son, since you’re married, you must have responsibility. Shuning is a good girl. You didn’t marry her because you didn’t have the blessing, but since you’ve married Xiangning, you shouldn’t be wavering.”

“Mom, I understand.”

Later, many enterprises sought out Li Shuning, but she did not cooperate with any of them.

Naturally, the Chu Group wouldn’t fall behind.

Chu Tao, now the CEO of the group, naturally had to meet with Li Shuning.

After arranging a meeting, they met at a café.

Even though Chu Tao had prepared himself psychologically, he still felt somewhat embarrassed.

“Shuning, have a seat.”

Li Shuning smiled and sat down. She didn’t speak, waiting to hear what Chu Tao had to say.

Chu Tao took a deep breath and said, “Shuning, I know the hospital has been selling your hemostatic pills. You’re aware that our Chu Family has many drugstores nationwide; cooperating with us could maximize the distribution of the hemostatic pills.”

Chu Tao took out a file with the distribution map of Chu Group’s chain stores and their scale.

Li Shuning glanced over the document. Indeed, if the hemostatic pills could be mass-produced, these drugstores’ sales network would make for a mutually beneficial cooperation.

However, Chu Tao didn’t know that the pills couldn’t be mass-produced.

Li Shuning closed the file, contemplating something.

Chu Tao didn’t have any ulterior motives by meeting Li Shuning here; he just thought the café would provide a more relaxed setting.

“Shuning, I know what happened between Xiangning and me hurt you. That was my mistake, but Shuning, the Chu Family and the Li Family have always been long-time allies. The pill sales handled by us would surely be mutually beneficial, Shuning. Please consider it.”
