"Yun Qiong, since your husband has inquired about my matters, then he should have figured out the specifics. I'm not unwilling to help you, but I must make things clear beforehand. There currently isn't any scar removal ointnt in the world with miraculous effects. Although I do have so scar removal ointnt, there isn't much of it, and it might not be enough to heal two people. Also, the effects of the scar removal are not as ideal as you might imagine. So, if Cui Shuo and Cui Lin's injuries are not particularly severe, then I suggest you find a professional doctor and receive professional treatnt instead." Xu Xiuxiu was also very hesitant now. It wasn't that she was selfish and reluctant to part with her belongings; she just didn't want her little secret exposed, and especially didn't want to invite trouble that could affect Song Yuanhuan.
But now Li Yunqiong was seeking her help, and she couldn't just refuse, so she felt extrely conflicted at the mont.
"Moreover, my scar removal ointnt is just a small redy from the countryside, whose effects vary from person to person. I bought it when I was back in my hotown, from a hawker wandering the streets." Xu Xiuxiu explained with so difficulty, hoping Li Yunqiong would give up: "A rural redy definitely can't compare to dicine prescribed by doctors in big hospitals." After all, Li Yunqiong, being a lady from a wealthy family, should look down on such crude and unsophisticated redies and ointnts from the countryside.
"Xiuxiu, my husband and I have already searched for the best doctors in the city, and they all say the wounds are too big, and scars are inevitable. I really have no other option but to co to you. If you have any ointnt, even if it's just a redy with the slightest effect, I want to try it." Li Yunqiong refused to give up on this only hope. Yesterday, those most renowned professional doctors in Z city had also declared that they were helpless against the scars. If they hadn't already faced the worst outco, she wouldn't have co to seek help from Xu Xiuxiu.
Even though surviving the car accident was already lucky, that's just how people are—once their life is spared, they want more. As a mother, she really couldn't bear to see her son's face disfigured, so even if it ant setting aside her pride to beg, she was willing to do whatever it takes.
"If that's the case, then alright! Tell which hospital Cui Shuo is in, and I'll go ho to get the ointnt and bring it to you," Xu Xiuxiu relented upon seeing how adamant Li Yunqiong was.
Li Yunqiong must have co looking for her today because she had almost finished her investigation into her matters, otherwise, she wouldn't be resorting to clutching at straws like this. Those from rich and powerful families usually have strong support and don't easily seek help from outsiders. Li Yunqiong coming to her must be a last resort after all other options had been exhausted.
"VIP1 ward at the private hospital in Z city," Li Yunqiong replied to Xu Xiuxiu with a choked voice, grasping her hand with eyes filled with gratitude: "My family's driver is waiting outside, I'll have him drive you ho, no, I'll go back with you to get the dicine!" Li Yunqiong couldn't wait another mont, wishing she could already have the ointnt in her hands right there at Xu Xiuxiu's house.
"Alright!" Xu Xiuxiu reluctantly nodded in agreent: "Then let's go now, but Yun Qiong, I must tell you upfront not to have too high hopes. The ointnt is just a rural homade redy, not so kind of wonder drug." Xu Xiuxiu didn't completely close the door on any possibilities as she tempered Li Yunqiong's expectations about the ointnt.
To be honest, Xu Xiuxiu felt quite selfish at the mont because, although she was sure she could heal the scars completely, she chose to keep it a secret. But the current situation didn't give her much chance to think it over—she didn't dare to take the risk and could only protect herself while helping Li Yunqiong.
Of course, she could have been even more selfish. After all, there's no definite word on whether Xiuxiu was responsible for the recovery of the scars on Zhao Nan's face; not even Zhao Nan himself could clarify it.
Nevertheless, Xu Xiuxiu still planned to provide Li Yunqiong with a small bottle of Space Spring Water. The effects might not be great, but at least it would be better than any ointnt currently on the market. As for the pink fruit from her space, she had no plans to share that since it only grew one a day. She was even reluctant to give that away, fearing she couldn't explain where it ca from. Moreover, giving only one was not enough to share between the two injured individuals. Besides, she felt that offering a small bottle of Space Water was already quite generous on her part.
For a friend who needs to conduct a life investigation of soone before befriending them, Xu Xiuxiu, as the one being investigated, harbored so reservations. So whether you say she was petty or selfish, Xu Xiuxiu gladly accepted it, but she absolutely could not allow her current peaceful life to be disturbed in the slightest.
"Thank you, Xiuxiu, really, thank you. I've taken what you said to heart, I know it," Li Yunqiong managed a smile through her tears, clutching Xu Xiuxiu's hand as she began to choke up.
"As long as you understand, that's good. I'm afraid you might harbor too great of hopes and end up disappointed. Anyway, let's get going!" Xu Xiuxiu nodded, originally wanting to say more but then shook her head, swallowing the words that reached her throat, and then turned and was the first to walk out of Sichuan Pavilion.
Li Yunqiong, with reddened eyes, composed herself before following closely behind Xu Xiuxiu.
Sitting in Li Yunqiong's black car, Xu Xiuxiu watched as the driver precisely started the car and headed straight from Sichuan Pavilion to Hai Chao Garden, where Xu Xiuxiu's new ho was located.
"Do you want to wait in the car or co up and sit?" Xu Xiuxiu asked Li Yunqiong for her preference before getting out of the car.
When Qi moved last ti, Xu Xiuxiu had intended to invite Li Yunqiong, but at the ti, it seed she and her partner were taking Cui Shuo to tour Shanghai, so Li Yunqiong had never been to this new ho. Visit My Virtual Library Empire (*) for more.
"I won't go up this ti! I regretted not making it to your housewarming last ti. Another ti I'll bring Cui Shuo over for a proper visit!" reminded by Xu Xiuxiu's question, Li Yunqiong recalled this and spoke with a hint of apology.
Feeling sowhat embarrassed about empty-handedly visiting soone when asking for a favor, Li Yunqiong hesitated.
"Alright! I will go get the ointnt for you, just wait a mont." Li Yunqiong declined, and Xu Xiuxiu naturally did not insist, turning and swiftly entering the building.
Just as Xu Xiuxiu entered her ho, Aunt Luo, who was looking after the boy and girl twins and picking vegetables in the living room, heard the door open. Surprised to see Xu Xiuxiu return, she asked, "Xiuxiu, how co you're back so early today? Is there sothing else?"
Xu Xiuxiu usually left ho early in the morning and wouldn't return until around eight or nine at night, so her coming back this early was rare.
"I forgot sothing, just ca back to get it. Please, keep doing whatever you were doing. Don't mind ." Xu Xiuxiu spoke softly, walking over to the baby carriage first, her heart softened slightly as she looked at the well-behaved twins sleeping inside.
