"what?"

What is Zihecao? What is that thing? It doesn’t sound like the name of a proper medicine.

Si Nian couldn't help but ask questions, after all, she really knew nothing about this thing.

Zhou Jinan smiled gently and repeated patiently, "Purple Helichrysum, Nian Nian, thank you very much for your reminder. My grandfather can still be saved. We just need to get the Purple Helichrysum within half a month.

I have searched all over the country for this medicinal herb, but I don’t know what the result will be. However, the Si family has one, so I wanted to ask you, is it really there…”

Si Nian smiled awkwardly and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I really can't help you with this. I only have sporadic memories before the age of ten. I don't remember much. Even if I heard it, I might have forgotten it. After Si Muwan came back, she would not tell me about the Si family's affairs.

So, I really don't know if the Si family has this... purple merlot, so I can't help you."

Ever since Si Muwan returned to the Si family, everyone in the family has been surrounding her. As for what the Si family bought later, she had almost no idea. After all, she was just an adopted daughter, and it was impossible for them to tell her everything.

Zhou Jinan chuckled. He had actually anticipated this result, but when he really heard Si Nian say this, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"It's okay, I'm just asking casually, don't feel embarrassed."

Si Nian seemed to feel even more guilty. Such a handsome man asked her for help, but she couldn't help him.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask my fourth brother for you, maybe they know."

This was all she could do, so she called Si Murui and got a positive answer that the Si family did have purple merantifolia.

"Mr. Zhou, my fourth brother said that the Si family does have a purple merlot, but only Mr. Si knows where it is. I don't know the rest. If you need this herb, you'll have to find a way yourself."

Zhou Jinan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood: "As long as you make sure that the Si family has it, leave the rest to me."

After all, the relationship between Si Nian and the Si family has come to this point, so there is no need to put her in an awkward situation.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with the rest. You have to do it on your own... However, the Si family shouldn't give up the opportunity to befriend your Zhou family, so there's a good chance you can get the Purple Helianthus."

Zhou Jinan knew what Si Nian meant, but as long as the old man could get the medicine, he didn't mind owing the Si family a favor. It just depended on whether the Si family was willing to accept it.

"I'll take care of the rest. Even if I can't do it, there's still Bei Xiao. In the entire Imperial Capital, and even the entire country, who dares not give Huo Bei Xiao face?"

Zhou Jinan's tone was very relaxed, even a little cheerful. Was he planning to trick Huo Beixiao?

Tsk...what good brothers.

It’s really good!

"What kind of face?"

Huo Beixiao suddenly appeared behind them, his face cold and somewhat unhappy. He looked at Zhou Jinan: "Why are you here?"

Zhou Jinan looked at the surrounding environment. The coffee shop outside Century Mansion was also a public place. Couldn’t he come there?

Does this person have nothing to do during the day?

"I came to see Nian Nian for something, is that not okay?"

Huo Beixiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Nian Nian?"

When did they become so familiar with each other?

"She's just a little girl and can't help you with anything. Why are you looking for her?"

Zhou Jinan: “…”

Is this person being too nosy?

Something is wrong.

Si Nian: "????"

Does it sound like I'm a loser? I am a loser, but you can't be so obvious about it.

"Boss Huo, you're making me feel like a loser... Can you please talk nicely?"

[Oh my god, I really want to give him a couple of punches! I finally get to spend some time with this handsome guy, and this guy actually comes to mess with me?]

Doesn't the Huo family need him to go back and take charge? Is everything alright with the company?

[Why is this guy so idle? He seems to be so bored that he's panicking. I see him everywhere I go. I have every reason to suspect he's installed a tracking device on me.]

Huo Beixiao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He was being kind, okay? He saw that Zhou Jinan had bad intentions, and he actually went ahead with it... what a stupid, brainless girl.

"Aren't you just a waste? You just want to lie down and get something for nothing all day long. What are you but a waste?"

Si Nian: "..."

She gritted her teeth and looked at Huo Beixiao: "Boss Huo, have you really never been beaten for your mouth?!"

"Of course there is. When Bei Xiao was in school, he was surrounded by people because he was too talkative."

Si Nian was instantly amused. She looked at Zhou Jinan and said with a gossipy look on her face, "Oh, really? That's really strange. He was surrounded by people. He must have been beaten up. Wasn't it miserable?"

She can laugh at this joke for a whole year!

However...it turned out that she was overthinking it.

"How do you know they were all beaten badly? I have no other choice. I have been very strong since I was a child. Ordinary people can't do anything to me..."

Huo Beixiao's smug look left Si Nian speechless.

Shameless!

"I won't chat with you anymore. I'm going to the Si family."

Huo Beixiao frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Why are you going to the Si family?"

He looked at Si Nian in confusion. Could it be that this girl regretted it? That shouldn't be the case.

"Grandpa's poor health isn't caused by an illness, but by poisoning. The Chinese medicine doctor you found is very helpful, and Grandpa can still be saved. However, there's a missing herb that's at the Si family's house, and I want to get it."

Zhou Jinan briefly explained what happened.

But he acted as if it had nothing to do with him, as if it was not a big deal.

Just let nature take its course.

"Are you sure that the herb is in the Si family?"

"Well, Nian Nian has just called Si Murui to confirm. It's at Si's house. I plan to get it as soon as possible." Zhou Jinan gently twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand.

Huo Beixiao nodded and stood up: "Then I'll go with you."

Mr. Zhou had done him a favor, so how could he just stand by and watch him die?

"No need, I can go by myself. Although the Zhou family's status is not as high as yours, I can still use your name." Zhou Jinan joked and did not want Huo Beixiao to get involved.

It’s not because of being distant, but because Zhou Jinan has already repaid too much for the kindness shown in his childhood.

He wanted the brotherhood between them to be purer.

But he didn't expect that there would be a fight between him and his brothers in the future.

"Um...can I make a suggestion?"

Si Nian quietly raised his hand among them.

Zhou Jinan chuckled: "You say."

"Well... Mr. Si Laien intends to have Si Muwan marry Huo Beixiao and has been trying to set them up. Why don't you let Mr. Huo...seduce her?"

Si Nian thought this was a good idea.

[Everyone, come out quickly, come and praise me, and see, I will create opportunities for the male and female protagonists.]

System: .....I thank you on behalf of the male protagonist.

[Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome. I'm such a nice person, I didn't forget to follow the plot even at this moment.]

system:......

I hope you’ll feel smug again when you see the hero’s face.
