"Yan Yan..."
"It's been two minutes."
Qing Yan hung up the phone directly, blocked the number, and was about to enter the laboratory when another unknown number called.
Qing Yan: ...
No need to guess, it must be Lu Zhenhai using another new number, shamelessly calling her.
Qing Yan hung up again, blocked the number, and strode into the laboratory.
Lu Zhenhai had already anticipated that she wouldn't answer his call. Before calling her, he had someone buy dozens of new numbers. He dialed them one by one, and every time Qing Yan blocked one, he would switch to another.
In the end, Qing Yan turned off her phone, and Lu Zhenhai was completely helpless.
"What should we do?" Xu Aiqin, who was standing nearby, saw Lu Zhenhai's defeated expression and had a bad premonition. "She still won't answer your calls?"
"Her phone is turned off," Lu Zhenhai sighed and glanced at his daughter on the sofa.
Lu Muyao kept her head down, looking like she had done something wrong, silently shedding tears.
She looked pitiful.
"That darn... girl, she's gone too far!" Xu Aiqin gritted her teeth, feeling an itching hatred towards Qing Yan. "No matter what, this cannot make it to the news. Otherwise, it won't just ruin Yao Yao's reputation for the rest of her life, but also our Lu family's reputation!"
Hmph! Isn't it just sixty million? They are the wealthiest family in Dongcheng, they can afford it!
Lu Zhenhai fell silent for a while, took out his phone, and instructed his subordinates to put several luxury houses and over a dozen commercial properties he owned up for sale. "The buyer must pay in full."
Otherwise, they wouldn't receive the money until the bank's loan processes were completed, which would take at least three days!
"Speed is crucial, and if necessary, lower the price..." After finishing the call, Lu Zhenhai looked at his wife and daughter with a dejected gaze. "Once they are sold, we will only have this house and a few commercial properties left under our name."
The nanny nearby, holding a tray of tea, was startled upon hearing this and lost her grip, causing the tray to fall to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Xu Aiqin noticed her suspicious behavior and couldn't help but reprimand her. "Are you trying to scare us?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, Madam. It's my fault..." The nanny thought to herself, why is someone on the verge of bankruptcy acting so high and mighty in front of her! No, she needed to find another way out... The Lu family would surely be ruined in no time!
"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry..." Lu Muyao sobbed, tears flowing uncontrollably, displaying immense guilt.
"Ah..." Lu Zhenhai sighed. Once the luxury houses and commercial properties were sold, he would no longer be the wealthiest person in Dongcheng, and his status and position would plummet...
At that time, the future of the Lu family's businesses would be in jeopardy...
"It's all my fault." Lu Muyao knew the extent of the trouble she had caused and cried, "If I hadn't returned to this family, Dad would still be the richest man, Mom would still be living a luxurious life... It's because of me, I've harmed all of you and this family! I'm sorry, really sorry!"
If she didn't apologize soon, she was afraid her parents would harbor resentment and kick her out.
She could tell that Dad was disappointed in her, even in her current tearful state, he didn't offer any comfort!
"Silly child! You are our flesh and blood, having suffered for eighteen years outside is already too much!"
Xu Aiqin tenderly touched her head, lovingly saying, "Before, you didn't have the means to learn the piano, but now it's different! With Mom and Dad here, we won't let you suffer anymore. It's just a piano, as long as you still want to learn, Mom and Dad will definitely hire a private tutor for you!"
Lu Muyao's tears flowed down as she shook her head, as if saying, "I don't want to learn the piano anymore."
Xu Aiqin felt even more distressed. "It's okay. As long as the loss of sixty million is compensated, this matter will only be known to those present at the awards ceremony. It will soon be forgotten and won't spread to the ears of the whole nation, becoming a topic of gossip..."
Lu Muyao nodded, looking guilty.
"In a few days, the college entrance exam results will be out. With your level, getting into a top-tier university is not a problem!"
"For four years in college, you can develop in other areas, away from the piano. We can learn painting, fashion design, golf, anything to enhance your taste and become a talented and educated young lady."
"Once you graduate from a prestigious university and make a name for yourself in our family business, it will be known that you're a capable and well-educated beautiful heiress. It's just that with Ah Yang..."
It's a bit tricky.
Xu Aiqin could tell that today, Ah Yang was very disappointed in Yaoyao and was taken away by Lady Gao...
"The marriage between the Lu family and the Gao family might not make progress for now..."
Lu Muyao also understood in her heart that Gaoyang was disappointed in her!
In today's incident, it wasn't just her face that was lost!
She bit her lip. No, she had to find a way to keep him, even if it meant paying a price...
In the laboratory.
Qing Yan successfully extracted Su Qingye, shocking the surrounding experts and doctors who praised her one after another.
"That's amazing..."
"We've been working for over ten days, and you finished it in just an afternoon!"
"In the field of drug research, you rank second to none, no one dares to claim the top spot."
Qing Yan looked at the extracted Su Qingye and expressed some dissatisfaction. "It hasn't been fully extracted yet, and the purity of the components is not sufficient. I'll come back tomorrow night to take another look."
Tonight, Song Qiaoying prepared a large table of dishes to celebrate with her. Now it's getting dark, and she must go back, or they would have to wait for a long time.
Upon hearing that Qing Yan would come again tomorrow night, several doctors and experts were excited. "That's great!" "Although it hasn't been fully extracted, being able to extract a portion is already impressive!" "I thought this project was most likely going to fail, but I didn't expect that as soon as you came, we made such great progress!" "I believe success is just around the corner!"
Qing Yan looked at the components in the equipment. "Observe it again tonight and see how long these components can survive under high temperatures." If they can't withstand high temperatures and the components get destroyed, there's no point in extracting them. "You can rest assured that we will follow up on this matter."
Qing Yan got into the car and left. Shortly after, she arrived at the Lakeside Villa. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw a brand-new diamond piano, emitting a captivating shine under the lights. "Yan Yan, you're back?" Li Yuanfu was extremely happy when he saw her. "Perfect timing, why don't you try the touch and sound quality? Is it good?" Li Yusha, who was beside them, was filled with jealousy. She had just inquired about the person who delivered the piano. This piano was worth over a hundred million and was extremely valuable. The person who delivered the piano mistook her for Li Yuanfu's daughter and complimented her, making her so angry that she almost had an internal injury.
Qing Yan's slender fingers caressed the piano keys, lightly pressing a few notes. The sound quality was excellent. Could a piano like this be worth less than a billion? "Miss Qing Yan, I heard that you are a piano maestro. I wonder if we have the honor of hearing you play a piece?" "I heard that you have an exceptional ear for music. To be honest, I'm your fan!" "Miss Qing Yan, with your exceptional hearing, oh no, I mean, can I have the privilege of hearing you play a piece?" "Your piano compositions are especially beautiful. Every night before bed, I listen to a few of them."
Qing Yan curled her lips. So, her piano compositions also have a hypnotic effect?!
