Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 504: Best Use

It was impossible for him to help Xue Xi bathe. At the very least, it was impossible under the Xue family home and Xue Sheng’s watchful eyes.

Xiang Huai did not expect things to develop so quickly. After all, if he dared to bring the little kid back to his house, the Xue family’s parents would probably come knocking on his door.

Besides, if it went any faster, the kid would start to rebel.

Although the two of them had been together for more than a year, they had spent too little time together. Xiang Huai planned to spend some time with her during these next few days.

That night, Ye Li helped Xue Xi shower.

Although they were mother and daughter, Xue Xi was still a little shy. After rushing out, she realized that Ye Li had already made the bed and Xue Sheng had called her back to sleep.

Ye Li was wearing silk pajamas and was more confident than before. “Didn’t I say it already? If my daughter is home, I’ll sleep with her.”

Xue Sheng was also wearing the same type of pajamas in dark blue. He said aggrievedly, “You said you’d spend every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with your daughter. Mondays to Thursdays are mine!”

Ye Li: “...Damn, isn’t this a special situation? Moreover, it’s convenient for me to take care of my daughter when she needs to drink water at night.”

Xue Sheng still wanted to say something when Ye Li whispered, “Besides, Xiang Huai is here. If I’m not in her room, aren’t you afraid that he will sneak into our daughter’s bed in the middle of the night?”

Xue Sheng: “?”

He was convinced. “You’re right. Little Xiang is at the prime of his life. He’s 25 years old and will definitely think about that every day. Our daughter is still young. They can’t do this!”

Ye Li nodded.

Xue Xi: “...”

The corners of her lips twitched. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Xiang Huai appear at the door.

Before she could interrupt their conversation, Xue Sheng suddenly whispered, “Wifey, I suddenly thought of a question.”

Ye Li: “What?”

Xue Sheng said, “The most impressive age for a man is 25 or 26 years old. He won’t be able to cut it when he’s past 30. Xixi is still young right now. She should be married to him at the earliest age of 24. That Xiang Huai will already be 30 then! Would he still be okay?”

Ye Li: “?”

Xue Xi: “???”

The two of them spoke in low voices. Logically speaking, normal people should not be able to hear them, but Xue Xi’s hearing had always been sharp, so she heard them.

She subconsciously looked at Xiang Huai and saw the man raise his brows. She did not know if he had heard him.

However, he did not enter and instead turned around to leave.

I suppose you didn’t hear them?

At this thought, Xue Xi finally said, “Dad, Mom.”

“Alright, hurry up and leave. We’re going to sleep!”

After Ye Li chased Xue Sheng away and turned off the lights, Ye Li and Xue Xi chatted as they each swiped their phones. Xue Xi was looking at the documents she had transferred into her phone. Some of these documents were unique, while some were too professional. They were not on the Internet, so she scanned them one by one and transferred them to her phone.

Just as she was looking at it, she suddenly received a message from Xiang Huai on WeChat:

Gigolo: “I heard it.”

Xue Xi: “?”

She suddenly realized something and was stunned.

It was over.

If Xiang Huai heard Xue Sheng’s words, would he be angry or feel inferior?

As she was thinking this, her phone vibrated a second time.

Gigolo: “I think Uncle is right. A man might not be able to cut it past thirty.”

Xue Xi: “?”

She hurriedly tried to comfort him, but she saw his third message:

Gigolo: “So, it’s best if I use it now. Do you want to try? Otherwise, you won’t be able to use me while I’m still 25 or 26 years old.”

Xue Xi: “!!!!”

She replied: “No, thank you.”

Gigolo: “Are you sure you don’t want it? It’s free. You don’t need to spend money. It’s as if it’s full of vigor and vitality. Once that expires, there’d be no more.”

Xue Xi: “...”

...

The next day, Xue Xi woke up naturally.

Perhaps it was because she had bled too much yesterday, but she slept until nine in the morning.

After washing up and heading out, she realized that Xiang Huai had already left. He said that he had left at seven in the morning to go to work. Meanwhile, Ye Li was sitting on the living room sofa with Xue Xi’s maternal grandmother, Song Wenman, and her maternal grandfather, Ye Lai.

Seeing her come out, Xiao Fang, the nanny, said, “Missy, I’ll heat up breakfast for you.”

Xue Xi yawned and nodded.

When she walked over, Ye Lai smiled and waved. “Lili, you’re back?”

Song Wenman: “This is Xixi. How many times have I told you, but you just won’t listen.”

However, Ye Lai was watching television. “It’s clearly Lili. Where did Xixi come from?”

Xue Xi asked Ye Li softly, “Didn’t we develop that medicine? Didn’t Grandpa take it?”

Ye Li replied, “Yes, but his illness is very stubborn. He needs to undergo a few treatments to recover. He’s much better now!”

Xue Xi was relieved.

While she was eating, Xue Sheng came out as well and reported the company’s progress to her. After all, the company had used his daughter’s money, and his daughter was the hidden major shareholder. “All the production lines have entered a complete state. They have also started selling the first batch of drugs to the public. They have engaged in deep cooperation with many hospitals and started the first wave of profits.”

Xue Xi nodded. “Okay.”

Xue Sheng smiled and left for work.

After breakfast, Ye Li asked, “Xixi, you don’t have to go to class today. Do you have any plans?”

Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief. “It feels great that I don’t have to go to class. I finally have time to read peacefully!”

Ye Li: “???”

Other people would use their phones if they did not have classes, but when it came to you, even classes would disturb your reading?!

...

Xue Xi read her book comfortably without being disturbed by anything and felt refreshed. However, at night, she received a message from Li Zixia in their WeChat group.

Li Zixia: “Sister Xi, your pharmaceutical company is in trouble again!”

She sent a short video.

Xue Xi opened it and realized that it was a video of an old man crying. He cried and shouted, “My son has been crazy for so many years. Now, he’s finally been treated, but one pill costs 30,000 yuan! He needs to take three pills a day, 90 pills a month, and three months is considered a treatment period! Oh my god, we can’t afford it! The poor don’t deserve to be sick!”

The comments all went:

“He’s so pitiful. He had hope but is now even more desperate.”

“—Can’t the price of this medicine be lower?”

“——The previous poster’s idea is too laughable. Doesn’t the pharmaceutical manufacturer need funding during the research and development period? Did money fall from the sky? Should they make the researchers who have been researching for so long go hungry? Sigh, since ancient times, this has been a problem!”

“The manufacturer isn’t involved in charity, so it’s impossible for them to lose money. But if that’s the case, why did they develop this drug? Could it be that only the rich can treat illnesses in this world?”

...

These remarks were extreme, but they also reflected people’s helplessness and despair.

Xue Xi frowned.

Li Zixia sent another message: “Sister Xi, it’s on Weibo’s trending searches. Moreover, it’s not just one person saying that the medicine is expensive. It’s a group of people saying it! If it’s just one person, you guys can give a free medicine as a form of publicity, but with so many people, not to mention the research and development fees, you can’t just give away the medicine now, right?”

Xue Xi calculated in her mind.

The cost of a single nerve acid pill was 29,000 yuan. In addition, the patent fee for research and development had to be split evenly. It was not expensive to sell one pill for 30,000 yuan.

One had to know that Xue Sheng had invested a hundred million in research and development!

Even if Licheng Pharmaceutical Company did not earn a single portion, it would still be very expensive if the cost of production was 29,000 yuan. The cheap 1000 yuan discount would not solve any problem!

What should she do?

Ignoring those comments would affect the reputation and profits of Licheng Pharmaceutical Company!
