Yan Yueqing never expected such an unintentional success: "Honestly, after the dicine was ineffective for Wang Bao, I almost completely forgot about it. Lucky for us you kept it in mind, otherwise we would’ve missed out on sothing great!"
Director Tang felt it was a coincidence too: "We’re in luck."
Yan Yueqing then asked: "Then, can Grandma Ji’s illness—"
Knowing what she wanted to ask, Director Tang regretfully shook his head: "At best, it can only maintain her condition for a while. The old lady’s condition... is difficult to reverse... It’s good if she can make it to the New Year."
The New Year?
Isn’t that just a few months away?
Yan Yueqing understood: "Does this type of special-effect dicine for Nate, not to ntion its efficacy on other patients, act like a fleeting recovery for Grandma Ji?"
"Yes. She’s tornted by illness; being able to alleviate her pain and let her spend the last few months comfortably isn’t a bad thing for her..." Director Tang paused then added, "I’ve discussed this with Grandma Ji and used the dicine only after she signed the consent form. Legally and otherwise, there’s no handle for anyone to grab onto."
"I didn’t an that." Yan Yueqing gave him a look, "Does Ji Li know about this?"
"Of course, he doesn’t know! How dare we tell him?"
Yan Yueqing pondered: "It’s not good to keep this from him all the ti."
In Ji Li’s eyes, if his grandma seed to be getting better but suddenly passed away around the New Year, and he’s still so young, how could he accept that?
Director Tang: "Then... should I find an opportunity to talk to Ji Li?"
"No need, I’ll talk to him." Yan Yueqing smiled and shook her head, "Since he’s been brought to , I might as well communicate directly."
"That’s better! You speak more pleasantly than I do; the kid’s very sensitive, I’m afraid I might upset him."
Yan Yueqing nodded, then started talking to Director Tang about other work.
In the afternoon, Director Tang took half a day off to accompany the children for a good tour around the villa. Seeing the plants in the back mountain, he exclaid, "Wow, President Yue is generous, a whole mountain of Moon Dust Grass?! Such opulence!"
Yan Yueqing was curious: "Director Tang, you recognize this flower?"
"How could I not?" Director Tang let go of his daughter’s hand, walked to the nearest light blue flower, and sniffed it carefully, "Right, it’s Moon Dust Grass! President Yue, a few years ago I fild a drama that ntioned Moon Dust Grass. Although it’s not a nationally protected plant, it’s still extrely rare! You know giant salamanders, right? Picky about water quality! Moon Dust Grass is just as picky about the soil! Too cold, too hot, too acidic, too alkaline – none of those conditions suit its growth, and if there’s pollution around, it won’t survive!"
Tang Tang seed to understand: "That’s incredible!"
"Yeah!" Director Tang observed for a while, "Last ti I wanted to shoot a few Moon Dust Grass flowers, I waited for half a month without seeing them bloom. If only I knew President Yue had a whole hillside here! Wow!"
He turned around, eyes sparkling: "Can I bring over my cara?"
"Of course! Feel free to shoot."
Director Tang chuckled, stood up, "Moon Dust Grass is famous not only because it’s picky about its location, acting like a soil tester! More importantly, it has a strong calming effect! But since it’s so rare, few use it dicinally. How about you gift a few, President Yue? I’ll try them on my balcony to see how soothing they are?"
A plant seldom seen in usual tis, and here there’s a whole hillside!
Yan Yueqing waved his hand: "I’ll have Uncle Mi place a bunch in every room, let’s test its effects tonight?"
"Sounds great~" Director Tang and his daughter happily clenched their fists.
Yan Bao was also very pleased.
Ji Li, with his head hung low, seed lost in thought, oblivious to the others’ excitent.
Only Yan Wang.
His gaze suddenly fixed on the peak of the back mountain.
