Chapter 230 : Mr. Chinese Medicine

Under Fu Sichan’s reassurance, Lu Yunyao finally felt less anxious.

A few days later, the test results for the supplement came in.

The doctor called, “Mr. Fu, after analyzing the ingredients of the supplement, we’ve found that it’s suitable for elderly people, but not for young pregnant women. If a pregnant woman takes too much, it could cause the fetus to grow too large, leading to complications during delivery, or even trigger amniotic fluid embolism!”

Amniotic fluid embolism is a serious risk during childbirth!

If a hospital manages to save even one patient from amniotic fluid embolism, they could brag about it for years.

Fu Sichan’s expression darkened. “I understand.”

He immediately called Grandma Fu to inform her.

“Grandma, this supplement isn’t suitable for Yunyao. I’ve picked out some other nutritional options for her.”

Grandma Fu sighed, “Well, I didn’t expect this supplement to be unsuitable for pregnant women. Since it’s not appropriate, just throw it away.”

Fu Sichan wanted to suggest that his grandmother be cautious about Grandma Bai.

But with decades of friendship, how could she easily doubt her?

Grandma Fu seemed displeased. “This was given to me by Grandma Bai, I took it upon myself to give it to Yunyao, almost causing you trouble. It has nothing to do with her. I know you have issues with Bai Xuan, but Grandma Bai isn’t like that, I know her character best.”

“Back in the day, she, her sister, and I were close friends. Grandma Bai would never do such a thing. Don’t worry, this is just a misunderstanding.”

In the past, Grandma Bai was known for her gentle and virtuous nature, while her sister had a more domineering and tough personality.

However, Grandma Bai always accommodated her sister, never competing with her, which showed her kindness.

So, Grandma Fu absolutely did not believe that her good friend would want to harm Yunyao. There had to be some misunderstanding.

Fu Sichan lowered his eyes. “Alright.”

After the call, he had the previous supplement discarded and arranged for new ones.

“The doctor said the previous supplement is not suitable for pregnant women, these two nutritional supplements are better for you. I’ve instructed the servants to prepare them for you on schedule.”

Lu Yunyao nodded. “Okay, I’ll make sure to take them on time.”

For the baby in her belly, she couldn’t afford to miss a single meal!

—

At the Bai residence.

Grandma Fu visited the Bai family.

“Sister Bai, that supplement you gave me before should definitely not be given to pregnant women.”

Grandma Bai’s eyes flickered slightly as she turned the prayer beads in her hand. “What do you mean?”

“You may not know, but that supplement is only suitable for the elderly and not for pregnant women. Otherwise, it could lead to complications during childbirth,this is serious.”

Grandma Bai’s smile faded a bit. “Is that so?”

“Yes. I took that supplement for a while and felt much better. Since my granddaughter-in-law is pregnant, I thought about giving it to her as well. But you know my grandson, he’s very cautious and specifically had it analyzed by a hospital and a research institute.”

“The conclusion was that it’s not suitable for long-term use by pregnant women. I’m here to give you a heads-up, so you don’t accidentally do something well-meaning that could turn out bad.”

Grandma Fu did not believe that her good friend would ever intend to cause harm.

So, she always felt that Grandma Bai had good intentions. Bai Xuan, overhearing this, clenched her hands tightly, a flash of disappointment crossing her eyes.

What a shame once again, that scheming Lu Yunyao had escaped!

Grandma Bai subtly nudged her arm, reminding her to control her expression so that Grandma Fu wouldn’t notice.

“Thanks to you for telling me. I just ordered quite a few from abroad recently, planning to give them to my sister-in-law to help her regain her health. Luckily, I haven’t sent them yet.”

“Since you know now, you should send some other supplements instead.”

“You’re right.”

The two old friends rarely had the chance to chat and had endless topics to discuss.

Bai Xuan sat with them for a while before quietly excusing herself.

After she left, Grandma Fu sighed, “Xuan’er is a good girl, she’s just too stubborn about Sichan. With her qualities, why can’t she find someone better?”

Grandma Bai sighed, “Yes, that girl is quite infatuated, I wonder who she takes after. As a grandmother, it’s tough for me too.”

“Encourage her a bit. Sichan treasures Yunyao like a gem, it would be best for Xuan’er to give up early, for everyone’s sake.”

Bai Xuan, hiding outside the door, overheard this conversation.

Give up? Impossible!

He was the person she had liked for over a decade. How could she just let go?

Whether her senior was single or married, in her heart, he would always be an unattainable deity.

How could a deity like him ever be matched with that Lu Yunyao?

That day, Fu Sichan was set to attend an important evening banquet.

He initially planned to bring the little girl along, but worried that the long duration of the event would disrupt her rest, he decided against it.

As soon as Fu Sichan entered the luxurious and lively banquet hall, all eyes were on him.

Bai Xuan approached with a cheerful smile, raising her wine glass. “Senior Brother, you’re here.”

Fu Sichan replied coldly with a simple “hm,” then turned to head upstairs, clearly not interested in her.

“Senior Brother, why didn’t you bring Miss Lu with you to such an important event?”

Without even glancing at her, Fu Sichan responded, “She needs to rest.”

Bai Xuan hurried to keep up with him. “Senior Brother, since you don’t have a partner and I don’t either, why don’t we keep each other company?”

At such events, it was customary to pair up, but she forgot that Fu Sichan never adhered to such formalities.

Only when one’s status was insufficient did they need to follow various rules.

Once one’s power exceeded the rules, they became the rule-maker, who could restrict him?

Fu Sichan coldly replied, “No need.”

Bai Xuan tried to follow, but was blocked by security at the luxurious VIP area.

She watched helplessly as his tall and handsome figure disappeared into the shadows of the room.

Bai Xuan knew that even if she offered a toast, her senior wouldn’t drink.

However, she had other plans.

With Lu Yunyao absent today, it was the perfect opportunity.

Bai Xuan smirked, swirling her red wine glass before downing it in one go.

As the server entered with bottles of top-quality red wine, she quickly scanned the surroundings and discreetly sprinkled a powder into Fu Sichan’s glass.

Before long, Fu Sichan felt a wave of dizziness, and his vision blurred.

What frustrated him further was the sudden rush of heat that inexplicably surged from deep within his body.
