The matriarch has returned; that spendthrift son is truly daring!

Chapter 276 Encountering Song Zixuan in a Foreign Land

Seeing Song Shuyue arrive, Lin Hanxiao quickly greeted her, "You're up! Come and eat. I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I had the chef make one of everything."

Upon hearing this, Bansheng and Yutengshun turned their heads to look, their attention instantly drawn to the words.

Especially Yu Tengshun, who was biting into a steamed bun, stared at Song Shuyue in disbelief, not moving an inch.

She was as beautiful as a fairy, aloof and ethereal. He was someone who particularly loved reading novels, and this perfectly matched the female protagonist he had in mind. He never expected that such a beautiful and aloof woman actually existed.

Yu Tengshun stared at her blankly, like a fool.

“I’m fine with anything.” Song Shuyue pulled out a chair and sat down, her gaze intensely fixed on someone.

She frowned and turned her head, meeting Yu Tengshun's gaze for only a second before disdainfully looking away.

"If you're not going to eat, then get out."

Lin Hanxiao couldn't help but kick him.

What is he doing? Is he crazy?! He's got a mouthful of buns in his mouth, and he's staring at people with a lewd look on his face. How disgusting!

Yu Tengshun suddenly came to his senses, realizing that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly swallowed what was in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and his face was full of embarrassment and indignation.

"I...I'm so sorry, Sister Song, hello there! Why didn't you sleep a little longer? You got up so early, are you used to sleeping in?"

Yu Tengshun's change left Bansheng and Lin Hanxiao speechless; this man was truly hard to describe.

"Thank you for your concern, it's a habit."

After breakfast, Lei Xiao'an and Xiao Wu arrived. Xiao Wu was surprised when he saw her true face.

She was really beautiful, completely different from what he had imagined. He thought she was skilled in martial arts and would be a chivalrous woman, but he never expected her to be so unattainable.

Song Shuyue had already given Lei Xiao'an some instructions, and Xiao Wu also knew how important it was to him to have an identity. It meant that he was no longer a stowaway, but a person with a real identity, and he could live openly and honestly in this place.

In the afternoon, not knowing how to express his joy, the grown man couldn't help but tear up. He was rather thin, probably due to long-term malnutrition, and his face was very pale, almost bloodless.

Lei Xiao'an handed the identity card to them, and he accepted it with trembling hands.

When that name hadn't been seen for eight years.

He burst into tears and knelt heavily on the ground with a thud. "Miss Song, you are my second parents. Please, please take me in. I will be your slave and follow you for the rest of my life. I just ask you to give me some food to eat."

What good is his status? It only means he can find a job to make a living, and who knows how many years he'll have to save up before he can return to his home country.

But he had a premonition that if he followed this woman, he would be able to live a different life.

Song Shuyue did not refuse him. She was new to the place and needed manpower and her own people. Xiao Wu had been in this place for many years and was familiar with the environment. With his cooperation with Lei Xiao'an, they would be able to collect what she needed as soon as possible.

"Alright, Xiao Wu, if one day I discover that you have betrayed me, I will kill you without hesitation!"

Xiao Wu kowtowed gratefully and said, "Miss Song, that day will never come. I will only be loyal to you for the rest of my life. Thank you, Miss Song, for giving me a way to live."

Song Shuyue took out a list. "I don't need useless people. Lei Xiao'an, Xiao Wu, I need everything on this list within three days. Money is no object. You just need to get the items and hand them over to me!"

"Okay." Lei Xiao'an took a look and saw that it was a list of medicines and herbs.

Upstairs, Bansheng put on his cleaned glasses, his meaningful gaze fixed on the figure below. He bet she would definitely need his lab.

The Elixir of Eternity has a wide range of applications, from medicine to some shady things, but it can not be used to its fullest potential.

This is why the Lavida is so ridiculously expensive and extremely rare, and why it's so hard to buy one.

Song Shuyue turned around and met the sharp gaze of the person upstairs. Since she had come to this place, she had no intention of leaving innocently.

She knew that the Elixir of Eternity in her hand was no good. If it were her past self, she would never have used such a heinous thing. However, since her rebirth, her mindset has quietly changed.

If she wants to become powerful, she needs her own sphere of influence, she needs to make deals, she needs to shed blood, and she needs to do things in the dark.

Everything has two sides, black and white, high and low; this is an objective law that cannot be changed.

Yu Tengshun hugged Lin Hanxiao's leg and said, "Lin Hanxiao, you should persuade your sister. It must be very unsafe for a girl to live outside. As her brother, you have to ensure her safety. So you should let her live with you for a long time!"

Lin Hanxiao rubbed his temples in frustration. "I'm saying this one last time, get out of here right now! Leave my house!"

Yu Tengshun put on a pitiful look, "Lin Hanxiao, you know I've never had a home since I was little. Please have pity on me and let me stay at your house. Didn't we used to sleep in the same bed all the time? Why are you being so distant now? I won't do anything bad. Don't you trust my character?"

Having lived half a lifetime, he scoffed, "I'm afraid some people have ulterior motives."

Yu Tengshun snorted coldly, "Bansheng, what do you mean by that? Every point I made wasn't for Lin Hanxiao's sake. Sister Song is a girl. Everyone knows what the situation is like in France. As her brother, shouldn't Lin Hanxiao have a responsibility to protect his sister? So letting Sister Song stay here is the best choice."

Upon hearing Song Shuyue say that she would be leaving soon, Yu Tengshun began to work on Lin Hanxiao's mindset.

Lin Hanxiao pushed him away, "You don't need to worry about that. Yu Tengshun, it's getting late, you should go back. Don't you have some things to take care of?"

Yu Tengshun shrugged, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Fine, you're all counting on me."

Yu Tengshun did have other matters to attend to, so he had to leave first. When he encountered Song Shuyue who had just entered, Yu Tengshun raised an eyebrow.

“Sister Song, don’t you think we have a great connection? I noticed your extraordinary temperament when we were on the ship, and later you became my buyer. Now I never expected that you are the sister of my good brother. If you need anything in the future, you can always come to me, your brother.”

Song Shuyue: "I will contact you if I need anything."

With Lin Hanxiao's connection, there's no need to worry about not being able to obtain the Elixir of Eternity.

“You said you wouldn’t tell them anything about me,” Song Shuyue said to Lin Hanxiao.

Lin Hanxiao: "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word, but Yueyue, I need to remind you that this place isn't as safe as you think. Try to stay within my sight as much as possible. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can always come to me."

Song Shuyue: "Thank you! May I go to the research institute next door before I leave?"

Before Lin Hanxiao could speak, Bansheng responded enthusiastically, "Of course, Miss Song. The research institute next door is my small laboratory. If you're interested, why don't you come with me to take a look!"

He was waiting for this opportunity.

Song Shuyue nodded and followed him into the laboratory. Seeing the exquisite instruments, she knew that this was a place where pharmaceuticals were frequently researched.

Song Shuyue didn't beat around the bush and asked decisively, "What aspect are you researching?"

He never hid it from anyone, because those who could buy the Elixir of Eternity were usually no ordinary people.

"My research focuses on some common problems related to cells. I have developed a total of ten medical agents, each of which is beneficial to the human body. These are my finished products, you can take a look."

He studies human health, while Lin Hanxiao works in the field of medical pharmaceuticals. Seventy percent of the world's pharmaceutical products are sourced from him.

But there are also many people who are not satisfied with the usual health and pursue something else entirely.

Song Shuyue knew that what he showed her was extraordinary. She had learned about these potions before. For example, the potion she bought for Bai Lingling at the auction was called serum, and it should also have been made by him.

Song Shuyue looked Bansheng up and down. "You've shown me all of this. Aren't you afraid I'll steal your work?"

Ban Sheng spread his hands, saying indifferently, "These are just superficial gestures. The core is all there." He then tapped his head with his finger, "It's all in my brain, so no one can steal it. Miss Song, is the sincerity I've shown you enough for me to understand the purpose of the Eternal Liquid in your hands?"

He suspected she was also a doctor.

Song Shuyue took two steps back expressionlessly. "Sorry, no. As someone who shares the same interests, I can offer you some advice."

Ban Sheng's face stiffened for a moment, then he smiled with relief, "It's a great honor."

I don't know what happened between Song Shuyue and Bansheng in the lab for an hour. Bansheng, who is always arrogant and thinks that no one can surpass his talent, is arrogant and thinks that no one can surpass him.

After leaving the lab, he completely changed, his eyes filled with adoration for Song Shuyue, and his whole being exuded the air of a fawning sycophant.

"Miss Song, are you really not going to reconsider? Even just having me stay by your side and help you clean, or be your driver, would that be alright?"

He is from the US, but he speaks fluent Chinese.

Lin Hanxiao approached with a frown, patting his shoulder. "What are you doing?"

"Lin Hanxiao, could you please help me persuade your sister? Let me go and assist her. I want to be her loyal follower."

Lin Hanxiao's lips twitched, and she removed his hands from her arm. "Are you crazy?!"

Why has this person suddenly become so abnormal?

Bansheng leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Lin Hanxiao, your sister is a genius! A genius! Her expertise in the medical field has surpassed mine. She also has superb medical skills, you know? Just now, when I doubted her, she gave me a few injections, and I was paralyzed and unable to move! What I truly admire is that the medicines I developed were incomplete, while the formula she mentioned is more precise and perfect. The things she developed will definitely be more than twice as effective as before."

Bansheng became more and more excited as he spoke, "We must keep her, we must keep her. I'm sure she will use the Elixir of Eternity to create the most amazing potion, and she will definitely make a major breakthrough in the field of medicine."

Lin Hanxiao was initially a little skeptical, but seeing his excited expression, he didn't seem to be lying.

Is Song Shuyue really that amazing?

"I should go now. Thank you for your lab." Song Shuyue had learned what she wanted to know, and it was time for her to leave.

"I'll have someone deliver it to you."

"Need not."

**

Song Shuyue never expected that she would almost be hit by a car while walking on the road. Luckily, she dodged quickly, otherwise she would have become a dead soul under the car!

She was furious, took a deep breath, and suppressed her anger.

Song Zixuan patted his chest with lingering fear. He almost thought his life was over!

Having had this opportunity, he never dared to slack off while driving again.

Song Zixuan quickly got out of the car and began to talk to her in his broken language.
