CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 404

Unlike the Weng Family, who suffered a series of blows, the Tian Family’s fortunes began to brighten.

As soon as General Zhou awoke, the sidelined branches of the Tian Family regretted their decisions bitterly, but they were too embarrassed to ask for forgiveness, especially since they had said some mocking and sarcastic things while leaving.

The happiest of all was Fifth Uncle Tian. When the family’s third-generation eldest son, Tian Jun, had come to negotiate with him, they couldn’t reach an agreement due to industrial issues, so he never really severed ties with the main family. Therefore, when news about General Zhou spread, he was overjoyed.

He quickly purchased a large number of gifts and personally took them to the main family, hoping to repair their relationship. However, before he could set out, he received a court summons concerning a product dispute. The main family had already filed a lawsuit against them.

Fifth Uncle Tian was dumbfounded. Did the main family have to be so ruthless? Even if they were distantly related, they still shared the same family name!

When disaster struck the main family, he had withdrawn without considering that he too was a Tian.

The Tian Family was getting back on track and would surely head toward greater prosperity. But what bothered everyone was that Tian Qiu refused to divorce Weng Yong’an!

Dong Fengzhen sat there with a stern expression. Tian Heming had also returned today. After several days of errands, he was exhausted and had slept from the night before until after ten in the morning.

"Don’t get angry, old woman. The children and grandchildren have their own blessings," Tian Heming said.

"What blessings? If I had allowed her to do as she pleased, look what happened—people came knocking on the door with another woman. Isn’t that humiliating enough?" Dong Fengzhen said angrily.

The incident was a great disgrace to the Tian Family.

Tian Heming shook his head, "Yong’an even issued a public statement separating himself from the Weng Family. You’ve observed the child for quite some time now; he’s not like his grandparents or parents. He learned a lot abroad. How else would he grow up so decently?"

Regarding this, Dong Fengzhen also sighed. Yong’an was indeed decisive. If he were still in that family, she wouldn’t let Tian Qiu stay with him under any circumstances.

"Sister Qiu is living with her husband, not the Weng Family. Grandma, don’t worry about it," Beisitian said with a smile.

Weng Yong’an leaving the Weng Family might not necessarily be a bad thing. For the Weng Family, his actions may seem ruthless, but for himself, it wasn’t a bad decision.

In just a few years, he would be turning thirty, yet the Weng Family was still controlled by Weng Guixiang, who wouldn’t let go easily. Weng Qiang was already over fifty, and would likely manage for another ten years. By the time Yong’an could stand on his own, he would probably be in his fifties too.

Would this be good for Yong’an?

So, Yong’an couldn’t bear how his grandparents and parents behaved, nor could he agree with their mindset. Taking this opportunity to break away wasn’t necessarily a bad choice.

After leaving the Weng Family, Yong’an wanted to make his own mark, especially now with the hope of having children. He was filled with hope for life. Without his grandparents and parents interfering, he could fully exert himself.

Ma Tianlai was a particularly adaptable person. Once he saw the published statement, he knew there was something unusual between Weng Yong’an and Beisitian, and after learning about Tian Qiu, he understood. Therefore, he opted to collaborate with Weng Yong’an, this unestablished player.

Yong’an’s capabilities were unquestionable; he merely lacked funding and opportunities. Ma Tianlai provided the opportunities, and he could also offer temporary financial and manpower support, which delighted and moved Yong’an greatly.

Yong’an knew that Ma Tianlai did all this for the sake of Beisitian.

"Your cousin is truly something else," Yong’an said with a wry smile.

He didn’t know much about Beisitian’s background, but he could see Ma Tianlai’s earnest attempts to curry favor. If Hong Kong’s big shots were fawning over her, could Beisitian be simple?

Tian Qiu shrugged, "So don’t bully me. Our family has plenty of impressive people~"

Watching Tian Qiu being more open with her emotions and no longer holding everything inside, Yong’an smiled. His handsome features became even more captivating. He lowered his head and kissed Tian Qiu’s forehead, feeling deeply satisfied.

One must admit, Ma Tianlai’s actions indeed made Beisitian see him in a new light. If he had simply tried to flatter her excessively, she might not have been impressed.

"Mr. Ma, your son no longer needs to continue his medication, but you still need to take it for a while longer. I will give you the prescribed amount for this period, and you should continue taking it as before," Beisitian said.

Ma Tianlai sensed something was off and quickly asked, "Doctor Bei, where are you going?"

"I’m leaving Beijing," Beisitian said.

Ma Tianlai then asked, "Doctor Bei, where are you heading to? Can I still contact you in the future?"

"I’m going to Anding City. I can leave you my contact information," Beisitian replied.

Upon hearing this, Ma Tianlai was overjoyed. The location didn’t matter as long as there was a way to get in touch.

"To be honest, Doctor Bei, I also need to return to Hong Kong. I’ve been away for a long time and need to check in there, but I won’t be gone for long, and I’ll be back soon to visit Doctor Bei," Ma Tianlai said happily.

Beisitian pondered briefly, "In that case, I will make two more sets of medicine for you. Take the first, and the second one should be taken six months later. This way, those people won’t be able to see that the bad energy in you has dissipated."

Ma Tianlai was elated to hear this, as he was worried about it. Those people had significant influence in Hong Kong, and he couldn’t deal with them casually. If he could disguise it, he would be much safer and could act more freely in the dark.

Ma Tianlai asked Beisitian for a date to send her off, but Beisitian refused, not wanting to make it a big affair.

Through these days’ interactions, Ma Tianlai understood her temperament was rather detached and she disliked too much formality, so he decided against it.

However, he did have some thoughts about possibly developing well on the Mainland in the future, which could allow him to stay frequently on the Mainland, benefiting both by avoiding those people and spending more time with Beisitian.

Tian Qiu overheard Beisitian mention she was leaving and was lost in thought, feeling a wave of sadness she couldn’t quite explain. Of course, Beisitian’s husband was stationed in Anding City, and she had to leave eventually.

But hearing that she was leaving suddenly made Tian Qiu inexplicably sad.

Not long after Ma Tianlai left, Tian Qinghui arrived. Tian Qiu felt a bit constrained when she saw her Uncle because her stubbornness had somewhat displeased the family.

Tian Qinghui also felt helpless when he saw Tian Qiu, but as an uncle, what could he say? He greeted Tian Qiu and noticed Beisitian sitting by the plum blossom table in the courtyard, drinking tea.

"It’s still cold out; why are you outside?"

"Uncle is here," Beisitian smiled.

Tian Qinghui’s visit was on behalf of Tian Heming and Du Kai Bo. Since her initial treatment of General Zhou, Beisitian hadn’t been to the recuperation center, even after General Zhou woke up.

Du Kai Bo hoped that Beisitian could go and check on General Zhou’s condition.
