CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 402

Beisitian nodded after hearing Ma Tianlai’s words, "After drinking the medicine a few more times, your son will regain consciousness for longer periods, and soon he’ll be back to normal."

After all, it wasn’t about drinking bad water, so Ma Dong’s condition was better than Ma Tianlai’s.

Ma Tianlai knew that Beisitian was not an ordinary person and treated her with great respect. Knowing a Mystic Doctor, how honorable that was, and besides, who doesn’t fall ill at some point? Knowing someone like her is like having more security in life!

"Doctor Bei, I’m truly grateful to you. Meeting you is a blessing for me, Ma Tianlai!" Even though Ma Tianlai’s words had a bit of exaggeration, thinking of his son’s awakening filled his heart with genuine gratitude.

Weng Yong’an and Tian Qiu watched from the side, dumbstruck. Tian Qiu was fine since he didn’t know who Ma Tianlai was, but Weng Yong’an knew very well that Ma Tianlai was one of the Weng Family’s most powerful partners. He was the main negotiator for that collaboration; he had thoroughly investigated Ma Tianlai’s identity, status, and preferences for that project.

Therefore, Weng Yong’an knew exactly who Ma Tianlai was and his background. Seeing Ma Tianlai being so respectful to Beisitian, even with a hint of flattery, left him utterly stunned.

Ma Tianlai glanced at Weng Yong’an out of the corner of his eye and quietly said to Beisitian, "The matter you asked me to handle is done as well; they will receive the written agreement today."

Beisitian smiled slightly and nodded to indicate she understood. Seeing this, Ma Tianlai knew she still had some disagreements with the Weng Family. As for why the Weng Family heir was here, he didn’t dare to ask further.

"Um, Doctor Bei, if you have time, could you come and check on my son again?" Ma Tianlai asked, worried about other possible issues.

"No need, just let him take the medicine on time. As for you, if you don’t focus on your condition, it’ll be dangerous." Beisitian replied.

Ma Tianlai felt a chill in his heart. His son was fine now, but he had to worry about himself. He hastily asked, "Then Doctor Bei, what should I do about my case?"

Beisitian raised an eyebrow, "You didn’t think my medicine was free, did you? The previous transaction will be considered complete once your son recovers. Your own treatment will be separate."

Ma Tianlai nodded repeatedly, "Of course, originally this medicine wasn’t something one could just buy. The fact that Doctor Bei is willing to provide it, I’m already overwhelmed with gratitude and wouldn’t shamelessly assume the medicine is free!"

Talismanic water was originally inestimable in value, and Beisitian didn’t plan to give it away for free indefinitely. In the future, except for true difficult cases, even if someone from the Military Department requested it, they would have to pay.

"I recall you start experiencing pain around eight-thirty, right?" Beisitian asked.

Ma Tianlai confirmed.

"Come here at seven in the evening; I will treat you. Each session is five hundred." Beisitian stated.

Five hundred might be expensive for others, but it wasn’t a stretch for Ma Tianlai. Even if it were five thousand, he had to undergo treatment to preserve his life.

The price Beisitian set showed she was truly a conscientious doctor, and Ma Tianlai felt even more admired and convinced by her.

Ma Tianlai left happily.

Weng Yong’an looked at Beisitian with a peculiar expression. Suddenly, he remembered that Xiaoqiu’s cousin seemed to know about his condition from the beginning. Amidst the chaos, he had forgotten about this matter.

Thinking of this, Weng Yong’an unconsciously walked over, sat on the plum blossom stone bench, and asked Beisitian, "Did you know about my condition from the start?"

Beisitian lifted her gaze and nodded.

"How did you know?" Weng Yong’an suddenly felt this question was important. Even his family didn’t know; only a few foreign doctors were aware.

"I could see it." Beisitian replied.

Weng Yong’an pursed his lips, clearly skeptical. From the side, Tian Qiu said, "What Beibei said is probably true. Old Chinese doctors can observe conditions through facial features, but Beibei, being so young and capable of such observations, it’s no wonder Grandma likes you so much."

Tian Qiu was also somewhat surprised. She knew Beisitian studied Chinese medicine and that both grandparents often praised her, but she didn’t expect her skills to exceed her imagination.

Beisitian smiled lightly without speaking.

Weng Yong’an glanced at Tian Qiu and then asked, "If... if I want to get treated, what’s the success rate?"

He had already decided in his heart. Regardless of the odds, as long as there was hope, he would pursue treatment. Although Tian Qiu said it didn’t matter, who wouldn’t want their own child, especially a child with Tian Qiu!

Beisitian smiled lightly, "I said your issue isn’t a major problem; it’s not difficult to cure."

Weng Yong’an’s heart floated to the surface, filled with the joy of seeing light at the end, yet mixed with uncertain fear.

Though Beisitian spoke lightly, Weng Yong’an braced himself mentally not to expect too much. This way, even if it failed, he wouldn’t be too disappointed!

"How much for a bottle of the medicine?" Weng Yong’an had heard her earlier conversation with Ma Tianlai, and five hundred was affordable for him in the past. However, having left the Weng Family, he needed to figure out how to start again.

Beisitian smiled, "If I start charging, will my cousin beat me up?" She made a joke.

Tian Qiu, however, seriously said, "Charging a fee is only natural, what should be charged must be charged, but can you give us credit first?"

She was worried about not being able to get money from the family, especially for treating Weng Yong’an.

Beisitian shook her head and chuckled, "Don’t be so serious, okay? For my cousin’s sake, I won’t charge this time, but brother-in-law must treat her well; otherwise, if I can help you up, I can also bring you down."

Though Beisitian was smiling, Weng Yong’an knew she wasn’t joking. He nodded solemnly, "What I’ve obtained with difficulty, I will cherish."

The small courtyard was peaceful and harmonious, but the Tian Family was the opposite.

After the morning commotion, despite the Weng Family finally leaving in embarrassment, Dong Fengzhen was still furious. Having people confront her at the door, how could she not be upset?

In the afternoon, a few daughters-in-law hurried back upon hearing the news. After understanding the cause and effect, they were also furious. Lei Yehong sneered; the Weng Family originally didn’t favor Tian Qiu, yet insisted on marrying her off.

The daughters-in-law were still discussing when unexpectedly, people from the Weng Family came again in the afternoon. This time not only Old Mrs. Weng and Feng Xlian came along but also Mr. Weng, Weng Guixiang!

"Apologize to your in-laws immediately!" Weng Guixiang commanded Feng Xlian with a stern face.

Dong Fengzhen quickly waved her hand, "Mr. Weng, don’t randomly claim relations. The two children will be going to handle the divorce procedures tomorrow, and there’s no more in-law relationship to speak of!"

Weng Guixiang sighed, "No wonder you’re angry; I would be too if the roles were reversed. My wife was thoughtless, and the daughter-in-law is restless, even bringing strangers to our family’s door. After hearing everything this afternoon, I almost wanted to beat them!"
