I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 339: Chapter 338: Arrival in the Capital City

Tian Lei couldn’t talk his way around Beisitian; he was defeated in just a few words, completely lacking the deceptive skills of Tian Qiu.

”That person won’t make it past the fifteenth of the first lunar month. Now the Tian Family is in chaos, they didn’t even celebrate the new year properly. Grandpa had to step in, using the family’s scarce supply of thousand-year-old ginseng just to keep him alive through the holiday!”

Beisitian was silent, thousand-year-old ginseng!!

The Tian Family still had such a treasure; as expected of an ancient family of traditional Chinese medicine, their foundation is indeed extraordinary!

But using the thousand-year-old ginseng just to keep General Zhou hanging on by a thread, it’s apparent that the situation isn’t good, which is why Tian Qiu told them not to come.

”I’m heading over there, you come to the West Station to pick us up.” After Beisitian finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Tian Lei held the phone, lost in thought, his expression changing constantly. He had completely ignored the warnings from his big brother and second sister, and now it was a disaster, Beibei was really coming, what should he do!

Tian Heming clearly stated that he didn’t want Beisitian involved in this matter. Whether out of missing his daughter or concern for his granddaughter, he didn’t want Beisitian caught up in this, so he didn’t even ask about Beisitian’s skills, just listened to Tian Lei’s exaggerated praise.

But in Tian Heming’s eyes, a kid barely in their twenties, no matter how talented, wouldn’t have achieved much at this age.

Whether it’s traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, especially Chinese medicine, requires a lot of experience with cases, personally treating patients for skills to improve over time.

Tian Lei was secretly terrified; if his big brother found out that his little sister was coming, just his gaze alone would freeze him, and as for his second sister... he wouldn’t even know how he died!

Tian Lei paced back and forth in the hall, quickly thinking up solutions, but after thinking it over, he realized that with his abilities, he couldn’t hide anything from his big brother and second sister...

Tian Lei pulled at his hair for a long time before finally looking determined and deciding to confess to his second sister for leniency...

Tian Qiu listened to Tian Lei’s words, looked at him with an awkward smile, and couldn’t help but widen her phoenix eyes, reaching out to give him a slap on the head.

”Are you stupid, did you treat Grandpa’s words as passing wind? The Tian Family is now at a critical moment, by letting Xiao Wu come over, you’re putting her at risk!”

Tian Lei was filled with guilt, scratching his head as he said, ”Beibei said no one was paying attention to her, I was afraid she would misunderstand, so... so...”

So you let a little girl lure the truth out of you with just one sentence!

”Did she say she would come after you told her that?” Tian Qiu asked, her eyes flickering a bit.

”Yeah, I told her, thinking Beibei was smart enough to understand what I meant. I didn’t expect she’d still want to come, Second Sister, what should we do?” Tian Lei was anxious.

Tian Qiu was a bit emotional, three branches of the Tian Family had already declared independence and separated themselves. In times of crisis, everyone can only fend for themselves, wishing to avoid trouble, yet this newly reunited little girl wasn’t afraid of death and was diving right in.

She couldn’t believe Beisitian didn’t understand the dangers involved; even if she didn’t, Luo Xudong surely did.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Tian Qiu’s face, yet a warm current passed through her heart. When everyone else was busy distancing themselves from the Tian Family during this troubled time, this little fool was on her way...

”When did she say she’d arrive?” Tian Qiu’s expression shifted quickly.

”Tomorrow night,” Tian Lei replied.

”Tomorrow I’ll go with you.” After Tian Qiu said that, she pointed to the door, ”Leave, and remember, don’t tell anyone about Xiao Wu coming, even Big Brother too.”

”Got it.” Tian Lei quickly left.

When they arrive tomorrow, I’ll have them buy tickets and leave immediately, Tian Qiu thought.

Not long after Tian Lei left, a young man in a suit came in, very handsome, with alluring eyes, even more attractive than Tian Qiu’s.

”Xiaoqiu, I saw Xiaolei downstairs.” Weng Yong’an walked in.

The young secretary, upon seeing Weng Yong’an, quickly found an excuse to leave to fetch water.

Weng Yong’an was the eldest son of the Weng Group, also the General Manager of the Weng Group, and Tian Qiu’s husband.

Tian Qiu, who was troubled, showed a slight smile upon seeing Weng Yong’an, ”How do you have time to come by today?”

Weng Yong’an sat on the sofa, seeing Tian Qiu approach, pulled her onto his lap, and softly said, ”Came to have a heart-to-heart~” His eyes lingered on her fair chest as he spoke.

Tian Qiu, realizing he wasn’t serious, blushed and scolded him. Though their marriage had a political tinge, they surprisingly got along well after tying the knot, developing a good relationship.

However, typically, Weng Yong’an wouldn’t visit her office during working hours, even though they were just a floor apart. Does his visit today mean something is up?

The political marriage originally saw the Weng Family valuing the Tian Family’s influence within the military. However, now amid the unrest, even the Weng Family’s attitude towards her had become ambiguous.

Weng Yong’an seemed genuinely interested in having a ’heart-to-heart’ with her, saying nothing else and just jesting with her.

Tian Qiu was tickled into laughter by his occasional remarks, and after chatting for a while, Weng Yong’an left her office.

Sitting on the sofa, watching the closed door, the smile on Tian Qiu’s face gradually faded. She never figured out why exactly Weng Yong’an came.

The Weng Family’s attitude towards her was unclear now, and if the Tian Family fell, it might also complicate things for the Weng Family. Tian Qiu felt a bit melancholic, but fortunately, she hadn’t deeply fallen for Weng Yong’an yet; even if the Weng Family proposed a divorce, she’d only be upset for a while at most.

Such political marriages are the least reliable.

Tian Qiu was sure the Weng Family would propose a divorce because Weng Yong’an was the most promising eldest son of his generation. If the Tian Family couldn’t provide support, they wouldn’t let her hold a position for no reason.

This was reality, but every time Tian Qiu thought of it, her heart ached slightly. She rubbed her eyes, restored her confident and capable demeanor, and returned to her desk to review the documents submitted to her.

Beisitian and Luo Xudong were still departing from Anding City, needing to return the car first, and then they would take a long-distance bus.

The previous bus ride scene was vivid in her mind, Beisitian yawned, as the bus’s smell became unbearable over time.

Finally, upon arrival, Beisitian breathed in fresh air, feeling slightly more comfortable.

Luo Xudong remained unperturbed, as if the unpleasant scent didn’t exist. Seeing Beisitian’s expression, he couldn’t help but laugh.

”Doesn’t it make you nauseous?” Beisitian asked, seeing Luo Xudong seemingly unaffected.

”A bit,” Luo Xudong replied nonchalantly.

Chatting as they walked out of the West Station, the route familiar from their last trip, they soon spotted Tian Qiu and Tian Lei scanning the edges of the square, looking out anxiously.
