Chapter 37

The patient could finally be saved!

The thirty-year-old man acted like an elementary school student around Chi Wei. His eyes were full of adoration for her.

Suddenly, he remembered her request for the tea leaves.

Jiang Nan did not manage to get the type of tea his teacher wanted. Who would have thought it was so difficult to obtain. Since he had already promised, he knew he could not come empty-handed.

As he was having a headache over the issue, someone approached and offered him exactly what he wanted.

However, there was a condition. He needed to treat an old lady with her illness.

Jiang Nan was not a person who would normally accept gifts, but he happened to urgently need this bag of tea leaves. So, he took it and promised to consider treating the old lady.

He needed to show that he held the utmost respect for his teacher.

“Teacher, here’s the tea you wanted.”

He carefully handed the bag of tea leaves to Chi Wei and looked forward to being praised.

Chi Wei’s students often behaved like this.

Although they were gifted individuals themselves, they could not hold a candle next to their teacher.

So, it would be an honor to receive their teacher’s approval!

Chi Wei lowered her eyes and looked at the bag of tea leaves.

For some reason, it seemed familiar.

She had never rejected her students’ gifts. After all, they were only trying to be respectful towards her.

However, when Chi Wei picked up the bag of tea leaves and took a glance at it, she finally remembered.

It was the exact same bag of tea leaves from the tea shop earlier. When the old lady snatched it from her hands, she used a little too much strength and dented one of the corners.

Perhaps it was a coincidence.

Chi Wei did not think too much about it. Instead, she just told Jiang Nan a few things to take note of when he performed the surgery.

…

The atmosphere at home was a little solemn because Chi Wei had still not returned.

There was a boy was sitting next to Chi Wan.

Then, a soft creak could be heard. It came from the door. Qiao Yuechu instantly stood up. Her daughter was finally back.

“Weiwei, how was school? Did anyone bully you? Did anyone confess to you? Did you finish the tonic soup that mommy made?”

“You must be exhausted after such a long day. Go back to your room and play some games!”

“…”

Being bombarded with a series of questions, the corners of Chi Wei’s mouth twitched. She felt defenseless.

Her mother was such a dramatic woman.

Old Madam Chi let out a snort and absent-mindedly knocked her walking stick onto the floor, which irritated her.

She turned her head to one of the housekeepers and said, “You said Doctor Jiang is too busy and does not have time to come see me?”

The housekeeper explained to Old Madam Chi that Doctor Jiang did not refuse the gift. In fact, he took it immediately. However, he did not make any promises to treat the old lady. Doctor Jiang mentioned that he had a patient in Beijing who needed urgent treatment. So, he might not have the time to check on her.

Old Madam Chi felt a little depressed. The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became.

There was nothing she could do.

Since Chi Wei’s school bag was already full of textbooks and stationery, she had no choice but to carry Jiang Nan’s gift in her arms.

The dark green packaging was very conspicuous. When Chi Wei passed by the living room, the old lady’s sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the bag of tea leaves.
