"Grandma, you’ve been coughing a lot lately. This is the dicine my dad recomnded for you. It’s an imported dicine and works really well." Xiao Lingzhi handed the old lady a bottle of dicine.
The old lady didn’t suspect anything and imdiately poured out so to drink.
After drinking it, she indeed felt much better, even her spirits were lifted!
But later, she gradually beca unable to do without this dicine.
This dicine was indeed expensive, a single bottle costing ten thousand. Her demand for it grew larger and larger, eventually consuming seven or eight bottles.
One day, Xiao Lingzhi suddenly told her that the pharmaceutical company had stopped production due to a financial shortage.
The old lady was anxious, her cough worsening significantly.
Later the old lady spent more money, investing thirty million in the pharmaceutical company, and the dicine beca available again.
...
Xiao Lingzhi: "I’m at forty million now! You still have a long way to go~"
Little Taotie snorted, "She’s getting old. If you increase the dosage, she might not make it. Then I’ll inherit a large sum, thanks to your help!"
Xiao Lingzhi was stunned, gasping, "I almost forgot!"
...
That day, Xiao Lingzhi tearfully told the old lady that her mother ultimately lost to illness, and she had beco a motherless child.
The old lady was extrely distressed, wanting to attend the child’s mother’s funeral, but the child told her that the father didn’t hold a big funeral, just found a place with good feng shui to bury the mother, not wanting too many people to disturb her.
A few days later, Xiao Lingzhi ca crying again, this ti crying very hard, refusing to say what had happened.
The child cried herself to sleep, and the old lady couldn’t find out what had happened.
Later, when the child woke up, she seed a bit dazed, muttering, "It was a nightmare. I’m awake. Dad isn’t dead. It’s just a dream..."
The old lady’s heart almost stopped, carefully inquiring, only then learning that the child’s father had committed suicide!
Originally a wealthy heir, the heavy expenses from his wife’s illness depleted the family’s wealth, forcing him to work as a male nurse and sell insurance part-ti, always feeling suppressed. The dramatic ups and downs made him resentful of life’s injustice, leading to ntal health issues, long hiding his depression from the child. But his wife’s death broke him, driving him to the extre, choosing such a path.
Xiao Lingzhi beca a complete orphan, since her parents were only children, married late in life, and Lingzhi’s grandparents and maternal grandparents had already passed away before she was born.
In this world, there was only a little her.
The little girl’s eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul.
The old lady was extrely anxious, calling out several tis before the little girl slowly turned her head to look at her, gently asking, "Grandma, can I beco your granddaughter?"
Her gaze shifted to the silent, stern-faced Little Taotie, gently asking, "Like her, becoming your granddaughter."
The old lady imdiately agreed, "Of course, as long as you are well, Grandma will agree to anything you want!"
Not long after, the formalities were completed, and Xiao Lingzhi beca the old lady’s legal heir.
...
Little Taotie: "Imitating ."
Xiao Lingzhi smiled sweetly, "I think I should increase the dosage. Our task is almost complete."
Little Taotie’s eyes flickered, "We can delay it a bit."
Xiao Lingzhi: "If we delay too long, we’ll be punished."
Little Taotie sighed, saying no more.
...
Soon, the old lady felt that the latest dication was making her a bit dazed and sothing wasn’t quite right, considering having soone check if there was a problem with the dicine.
Xiao Lingzhi persuaded her a few tis, and the old lady dismissed the thought.
Yet even so, the old lady vaguely sensed that sothing wasn’t quite right.
