It's not too late to love again

Chapter 179 Heartbroken for Her
"Du Cheng, you are the meanest man I've ever met. Hmph, tell me, how do you want me to repay you?"

Du Cheng burst into laughter, but on the surface he was holding back, and said solemnly: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it later when I think about it."

"Okay, think about it slowly." Tong Fei was also straightforward, but there was a hint of cunning in her round eyes, and she took the opportunity to say: "Du Cheng, you have helped me so much, and you don't mind helping me a little bit more." A little bit? I'm so injured that I won't be able to go to the gym recently. I will explain the situation to Zhou Qinglong, but, can you bring him here..."

"Stop!" Du Cheng interrupted Tong Fei without waiting for her to finish: "I'm not a pimp, and you still want me to bring Zhou Qinglong to your house to visit you? Forget it, I'm not free."

Tong Fei was silent, and continued to drink porridge with her head down, but she was thinking, Du Cheng is actually a guy with a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, a guy who eats soft but not hard!
"Hey... Doctor Du, Young Master Du..." Tong Fei smiled sweetly, and her voice was even sweeter: "You know that I have a crush on Zhou Qinglong, I will be very sad if I can't go to the gym to see him during this time, please, Bring him here, if you come forward, he will definitely come."

"Why should I help you?"

"Because we are friends!" Tong Fei said confidently.

"Bah! Who is your friend, I'm not ashamed!" Du Cheng despised her fiercely.

Tong Fei resisted the contempt, and handed the empty bowl to Du Cheng with a smile: "Please, please fill another bowl, thank you."

"I..." Du Cheng bared his teeth angrily, but still took the bowl and went to the kitchen, and quickly filled a bowl out, and by the way, he also filled a bowl himself.

Tong Fei peeked at Du Cheng while talking with porridge, and looked at this man. She always felt that there was a word to describe him?

The two of them were sitting together drinking porridge, it felt really strange, it was something Tong Fei had never imagined.In fact, Du Cheng's appearance is really seductive. It's not the kind of handsome guy who gets fatigued after a few more glances at first glance. His facial features can be described just right, not particularly prominent and three-dimensional, but the proportion is very good. The more you look, the more he looks like a recent The actor in the popular drama "Stars"... a warm man.

That's right, when Du Cheng is not sarcastic, he can really be called a warm man.His temperament is gentle, careful and gentle, like the sun in spring, giving people warmth and comfort, not only good-looking at first glance, no matter from the side or from other angles, he can show different handsomeness.

Du Cheng quickly finished a bowl of porridge, and looked up to see that Tong Fei was in a daze...

"Du Cheng, when will I meet a boyfriend who is gentle and considerate to me? Do you think I still have hope?"

The weak Tong Fei was like a little sheep now, as if she was about to cry, Du Cheng was slightly taken aback, her heart twitched faintly, and she quickly said: "It's alright, alright, grandma, I'm afraid of you, I promise you, Bring Zhou Qinglong."

"Du Cheng, you are such a good person!" Tong Fei's expression turned into excitement in an instant, and the sadness just now disappeared, and Du Cheng realized that he had been fooled, and unexpectedly agreed to bring Zhou Qinglong here in a moment of resignation.

"Tong Fei, you..."

Tong Fei was in a good mood, with a triumphant smile on her face, but she was still thinking in her heart: it was quite happy to have a small quarrel with Du Cheng, at least everyone was arguing heartlessly, not really having any grudges, but Where are Hanhan and Yan Jiyun? How are they doing?Can the couple make it through this time?Sleeping is also a way to escape from reality. Shui Han sleeps deeply under the effect of the medicine, but the sadness in her subconscious cannot be erased even by dreaming.

The mother who had been missing for many years came back suddenly. This was something to be thankful and happy, and Shui Han's father was also there.A child without a father and no mother becomes a princess overnight, with the love of his parents, living in a dreamlike castle, and living a luxurious life that outsiders can't imagine. This is a plot that only appears on TV. Now , has truly descended on Shuihan, but is she really happy?
This small body has endured too much pain, and the greatest sorrow is nothing more than being calculated by one's parents.

Shao Qing and Shui Yurou, a husband and wife team, are too powerful to unite.Shui Yurou has an ambition comparable to a man, and she will never shrink back when she decides something. She will do everything possible to achieve her goal, and Shao Qing is a man with amazing wealth and a ruthless heart.The most rare thing is that the relationship between the couple is excellent, deep and firm, and they share a common goal...to destroy the Yan family and avenge their hatred.

This is not a goal just now, since the Shen family was burned down by a fire, this hatred has been planted.If it wasn't for human life, the two of them wouldn't have made such a fuss.The grievances between the two families are too deep and have a long history. To find out, one has to go back more than half a century ago...

At that time, the Yan and Shen families were both big households in the city, and they both ran traditional Chinese medicine shops, and they were the two leaders in the city, occupying a leading position in the east and west of the city respectively. The two patriarchs have very close friendships, and they often walk around with each other, and the relationship between the two families is harmonious.

But in 1943, it was a turbulent era, a black lament engraved in history.This year, China not only fell into a world war, but many cities in the country were also suffering from wars. City C experienced a battle this year, destroying most of the city, and people were severely injured. The one who opened the pharmacy was the first to be affected. Under the gunpoint of the enemy, he had to hand over all the stocks. Even the goods and money in the shop were looted. The loss was heavy and it was difficult to continue. Two wealthy families fell into poverty at the same time. for refugees.

Since then, the Yan and Shen families have been unable to run the pharmacy anymore, and their lives have been quite difficult, but the patriarchs of both sides did not give up because of this. After the war ended, the two families began to work hard on their own, secretly wanting to restore the family's former glory.

The head of the Shen family is Shen Yulian's father, Shen Ling.This person not only has a business mind, but also has medical skills. After the family was destroyed, he soon began to appear as a doctor, slowly earning a small amount of money to support his family.But this is not enough. If the Shen family wants to make a comeback, it is impossible to rely on him to practice medicine.Shen Ling is indeed a talent. In the process of practicing medicine, he found that the ladies of rich families pay great attention to maintenance, but they only eat some tonics. At that time, he thought, if some tonics are added with a few flavors Traditional Chinese medicine that nourishes qi, nourishes blood and nourishes yin, mixed together, and brewed for those ladies who need it, may be welcomed.

But although traditional Chinese medicine is good, it is also risky. Some medicines used alone are good medicines for curing diseases, but if they are mixed with other medicines, they may become fatal.The mutual generation and mutual restraint among traditional Chinese medicines is a problem that cannot be ignored.Because, Shen Ling has an idea but can't realize it immediately, he needs time.

Shen Ling is a person who does great things, and he is very calm. He spent several years developing and improving continuously, and finally succeeded. He named the nourishing decoction he developed "Beauty Yan Decoction" ".

In the beginning, the beauty soup was not known to the outside world. Shen Ling was very cautious. In order to confirm the effect of the beauty soup, he asked his wife to take it for three months first. He saw that his wife's complexion had changed significantly, her complexion was rosy, and her skin was firm. Get better, look a few years younger, and there is no physical discomfort, mental state is good.Only then did Shen Ling feel relieved, and actively prepared to sell this beauty soup.However, the final result turned out to be counterproductive...Because the Yan family cheated, Shen Ling's beauty soup became a wedding dress for others.

Although the Yan and Shen families were in trouble, they still kept in touch, especially the two children, Yan Hongzhang and Shen Yulian, who could be regarded as childhood sweethearts.

In Yan Hongzhang's year, he and Shen Yulian made an engagement with their parents.After that, Yan Hongzhang had even more reason to freely enter and leave Shen's house.

Shen Ling valued Yan Hongzhang very much, thinking that he would become a great weapon in the future, and Shen Yulian had a deep affection for Yan Hongzhang, and the girl Huaichun only wished to get through the family as soon as possible and become his real wife.

One day not long after the engagement, Shen Ling was going on a long trip, and his wife went with him.The purpose of his going out this time is to buy more medicinal materials and make a sufficient amount of beauty soup, which he plans to sell in the circle of rich people.

Only Shen Yulian was left at home. That night, Yan Hongzhang went to Shen's house and stayed here, sleeping next to Shen Yulian's room, and went home the next day.

A few days later, when Shen Ling and his wife returned home, they had enough medicinal materials, but they found that the formula for the beauty soup was missing!

Everyone in the Shen family was shocked, there was no thief in the house, how could the recipe disappear?

Shen Yulian was the first to discover something suspicious. She thought of the night that Yan Hongzhang stayed at home, but she was not sure, so she ran to Yan's house to question.She didn't see Yan Hongzhang, but only heard from Yan Mao that he was away and not at home.Shen Yulian returned home full of doubts, but she didn't have the courage to tell her father her doubts about the Yan family.

Although Shen Ling was angry, he did not lose his fighting spirit. The recipe was gone, but he still had some records, which he could sort out and write a recipe. He could still sell the beauty soup and earn money and fame for the Shen family .

But when Shen Ling was making the beauty soup all night long, he got a shocking news... The rich ladies in the local area are already taking a tonic called "Yanyue soup". It is said that they are very popular with them.

This news was a blow to Shen Ling. He bought some Yanyue soup and found that the ingredients were exactly the same as his beauty soup, even the taste was the same.And this thing came from the Yan family.

Shen Ling was really shocked at this time. He didn't believe that there would be exactly the same nourishing decoction. The thing he was most confident about in his beauty soup was... the beauty soup has a good taste, sweet and refreshing. Still fragrant on the teeth and cheeks, this is not something that can be made with only the same medicinal materials.

More than 20 kinds of materials are mixed together, and the sequence of medication is different, and the amount of each medicinal material is different, which will lead to differences in the finished products.Unless there is a recipe, and one can know the dosage of each ingredient and the time to add the medicine, otherwise, it is impossible to make exactly the same beauty soup.

This is where Shen Ling is so good. He is not afraid of others knowing the ingredients, because just knowing the ingredients is useless. The taste is too different from his beauty soup. In comparison, how can others compete with him?

But now there is Yanyue soup on the market, Shen Ling can be sure that this is his beauty soup!

Shen Yulian secretly went to see Yan Hongzhang again. In the cherry blossom forest, Yan Hongzhang finally confessed to Shen Yulian that he had indeed stolen the formula from the Shen family. It was his father Yan Mao who forced him to do so. Yan Mao's idea.The reason is that Yan Mao accidentally learned that Shen Ling had developed a tonic. He had a premonition that this product would bring unlimited business opportunities and wealth, but he also knew that the formula of this product could not be obtained through normal means.Therefore, he made Yan Hongzhang and Shen Yulian get engaged in order to make it easier to enter and leave Shen's house.

Shen Yulian was distraught, and broke up with Yan Hongzhang from then on. She went home and confessed in front of her parents, blaming herself for not staying with Yan Hongzhang that night.
