Chapter 437: Did I Overact?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation
The silly puppy thought to himself, âThis is so tough! Wife, I wish I could just tell you the answer, but I canât.â
Liu Shimei had no idea he was screaming inside. She continued to explain, âI think itâs possible that itâs them, but the likelihood is somewhat low.â
It was because she had already reached an agreement with Liu Fuyun. She would help Liu Yanâer, but Liu Fuyun had to reinvestigate the cause of Liu Quanâs death.
In this situation, Liu Fuyun could not possibly not warn Madam Zhang, telling her absolutely not to provoke her, so that both sides could coexist peacefully.
Madam Zhang might not tolerate other things, but this matter was about whether Liu Yanâer could become the Crown Princess. Therefore, Madam Zhang had to endure it!
âAh? Could it be Miao Longzi?â Huangfu Lingyao could not wait to ask âIs it a business rival?â
But he still could not skip this step; a fool couldnât easily grasp this!
Liu Shimei said, âI think this possibility is the lowest. Our dispute with the Miao siblings is just a war of words, not much enmity. Even if we were to assume the worst intentions of others, itâs possible, but I donât think itâs the right time now.â
If Miao Linglongâs plot against her were revealed, the hat of the alternative Crown Princess would surely be finished, just like Yu Wanqing!
If Miao Linglong wanted to harm someone, why not go after Liu Yanâer or Zhang Miaozhen? Why bother with her?
âSo, that leaves us with competitors, right? Darling, what exactly are competitors?â Huangfu Lingyao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had finally arrived here with patient guidance!
In truth, he really wanted to say: Donât underestimate Miao Linglong. From what I know of her, she can be quite petty, and sheâs willing to harm others over a mere verbal dispute!
However, he decided against it, not wanting to digress from the main topic.
This time, Liu Shimeiâs silence lasted a bit longer.
When it came to competitors, there was no need for personal animosity. As long as it obstructed the interests of the other party, action could be taken.
The publicity for Fusheng Pavilionâs grand opening was almost at a bombarding, carpet-bombing level. It was bound to attract envy from competitors. It was very likely that they might try to strangle her in her infancy, before she could rise to prominence.
âWife?â Not hearing Liu Shimeiâs response, Huangfu Lingyao began to get a bit anxious. He wondered, âDid I overact, or was I too clever? Does she suspect me?â
His voice brought her back to reality. Liu Shimei then spoke, âCompetitors are simply others in the same profession. We all run medical clinics. They fear that I might absorb all the patients, causing a sharp drop in their future income.â
The healthcare industry in modern times was considered a service industry, and doctors had always had a responsibility to save lives and heal the injured. However, doctors were also human and needed to eat. They couldnât be deified, thinking they should live in poverty and serve the people.
So, profitability was inevitable. And profitability mainly came from selling medicines!
Without patients, who would buy the medicine?
She briefly explained this relationship to Huangfu Lingyao before continuing, âBefore we opened our clinic, I had Shu Jun compile a list of all the medical halls and pharmacies, large and small, in the Imperial Capital, including their branches. There are a total of 16, and ours is the 17th. Fusheng Pavilion is quite large in scale. Those with smaller establishments wonât be able to compete with me. They canât match my capital, nor can they match my background and status.â
Huangfu Lingyao followed her line of thought and asked, âWife, do you suspect the place where you used to workâŠ. what was it called again? Do you suspect them?â
