CHAPTER 399: CHAPTER 398

"Doctor Bei, do you know those people too?" Ma Tianlai asked tremblingly, judging only from Beisitian’s age, she didn’t seem like one who would know about such secrets. But she was highly valued by the elder, which explained some things.

After asking, Ma Tianlai stared straight at Beisitian, and when he saw her nod, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"I can help treat your son, but in return, I want to know about those people. I heard you have quite the means and influence in Hong Kong. Most likely, those people will come to you again, especially when your son wakes up. Inform me immediately if you receive any information," Beisitian said.

There was no need for Ma Tianlai to be told this; he wasn’t stupid. Most likely, his son had seen something he shouldn’t have or heard something he shouldn’t have. Even if his son recovered, those matters might still cause trouble. He was worried about this very thing, so Beisitian’s request was exactly what he wished for.

Another point made Ma Tianlai extremely excited: if Beisitian could cure his son, did that mean she was also...

Ma Tianlai suppressed his inner excitement. The elder really had his priorities straight!

"I will cooperate with everything you say!" Ma Tianlai’s attitude became much more respectful, even using honorifics.

Beisitian did not make talismanic water at the time but said he should go to the elder to get it when it’s ready and left.

Ma Tianlai used his car to escort her back to the elder’s place before stopping.

Upon returning to the red-painted gate, Beisitian learned that the woman Wen Xianglai had allied with the Weng Family to find the Tian Family.

The Weng Family sent the old Mrs. Weng and Weng Yong’an’s mother, while the Wen Family sent Wen Xianglai’s father and Wen Xianglai.

From the Tian Family, only Dong Fengzhen, the eldest daughter-in-law Gao Ya, and Tian Qiu were there; the rest weren’t aware of the situation at home. Tian Heming and the others were constantly at the sanitorium and couldn’t return.

The purpose of the Weng Family was clear: they hoped Tian Qiu would agree to a divorce.

Dong Fengzhen’s face was sullen, Gao Ya’s expression wasn’t much better either. The Weng Family was clearly invading!

Tian Qiu sat by with a cold face, not speaking a word, nor glancing at Wen Xianglai.

Wen Xianglai looked at Tian Qiu with disdain, her overbearing demeanor could drive anyone mad.

The Weng Family was prepared to tear up with the Tian Family for divorce and didn’t put the Tian Family in their eyes at all. Otherwise, why would they bring the third party’s parents along?

It’s not only bullying the Tian Family, but insulting them as well!

Tian Qiu didn’t expect the Weng Family to bring the third party’s parents; seeing things develop to this stage, she finally saw through the Weng Family’s face. Even if she was reluctant about Weng Yong’an, this marriage had to end!

"Old sister, it’s not that I’m saying anything, Xiaoqiu is a good child, we didn’t want to cause this mess either. But you know, Yong’an is the pillar of our Weng Family, he can’t be without descendants, otherwise..." The old Mrs. Weng paused, looked at Tian Qiu, "You’ve seen, they’ve been married two years and yet no children."

What’s the cause for no children, it’s clearly Tian Qiu can’t produce!

Dong Fengzhen’s face darkened, she spoke with a deep voice, "Such things cannot be spoken lightly, besides, two years prove nothing."

She herself is a doctor, and knows that no children is not necessarily the woman’s issue. Especially since she had treated Tian Qiu, she knows Tian Qiu’s blood and energy are robust, such a body usually has no problems.

But she couldn’t confirm it’s Weng Yong’an’s issue either. Having children can’t be rushed. Sometimes both may have no issue, and yet can’t conceive, only to find one day it’s happened, such things aren’t strange.

Dong Fengzhen wanted to speak more, but talking with those playing dumb, would they understand?

The old Mrs. Weng chuckled darkly, lifting her head, half-squinting, she said, "Both are past thirty, talking about nothing, no kids, what’s this about?"

They had brought Wen Xianglai with them, Wen Xianglai was pregnant with Weng Yong’an’s child. No children meant it’s Tian Qiu’s issue, no need to say more.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have brought Wen Xianglai and her father along. Though divorce was certain, they didn’t want things to get too ugly. The Tian Family are doctors, if they’re convinced it’s Weng Yong’an’s problem, it’s hard to say, so they brought Wen Xianglai along. With her child, there’s no arguing this point.

The matter wasn’t honorable, but to quickly divorce, the old Mrs. Weng had to overlook a lot. Plus, Feng Xlian was stirring the pot, leading to today’s visit.

Feng Xlian never liked this daughter-in-law, anything she wore seemed revealing, she always appeared to attract attention outside, how could such a woman be a daughter-in-law? Trouble was bound to happen!

"We don’t object to divorce, but this cannot be left like this!" Gao Ya glared coldly at Wen Xianglai, the meaning clear: your Weng Family wronged the Tian Family, don’t think of a quiet divorce, impossible!

Wen Xianglai wasn’t afraid at all, seeing Gao Ya’s glare, she raised her eyebrows in a provocative manner.

Wen Rongfa snorted coldly, squinting at Gao Ya.

Feng Xlian flashed contempt in her eyes, wasn’t it just about money? She laughed and said, "How much emotional distress compensation, just name it?"

This sentence truly enraged Dong Fengzhen, she slapped the table and stood up, "Don’t push others too far!"

The old Mrs. Weng glared at Feng Xlian, who laughed and shut her mouth. Truly, they want money and pride.

Gao Ya rushed to support Dong Fengzhen, fearing she would be harmed by anger.

Tian Qiu scoffed coldly, "I don’t want your Weng Family’s dirty money, public apology in the newspaper, then let this slide, else I’ll spend a lifetime dragging you down!"

Tian Qiu spoke with immense fury, everyone present could feel it, the old Mrs. Weng and Feng Xlian’s faces subtly shifted. If truly so, it’s troublesome unless the Tian Family falls, Tian Qiu stands alone, then there’s no fear.

The Wen father and daughter thought similarly, Wen Xianglai curled her mouth, "If really so, you can just hold a place, no benefit to you, and Yong’an would resent later, consider carefully."

Tian Qiu was about to reply when the maid came in saying Beisitian returned, Tian Qiu couldn’t help but perk up.

Once entering the outer courtyard, Beisitian saw four strangers, she glanced around then walked over to Dong Fengzhen.

"Grandma," Beisitian softly called, then glanced at Tian Qiu, offering her a reassuring gaze.

Dong Fengzhen patted Beisitian’s hand on the back, indicating she should rest at the back, Beisitian shook her head, leaned in, and whispered to her.

Dong Fengzhen’s face subtly shifted upon hearing, as she glanced at Wen Xianglai, then looked towards the old Mrs. Weng and Feng Xlian, her gaze turned peculiar, almost mocking.
