Although the meeting room was not very public, it was still under the watchful eye of the public. After Qiao Nian reacted, she quickly pushed Qin Yang away while she retreated to the side. She stood there in a daze with a red face.
“Qiao, what is going on?” Claud’s words flew out. “What should we do now?”
Claud’s words made Qiao Nian blush even more. She cleared her throat and was about to find an excuse to quickly take Qiao Mo away when she heard a small voice. “Mommy, you’re finally here to see Geng!”
Qiao Nian turned around and saw a skinny little boy standing beside Qiao Mo. The little boy’s big eyes were filled with tears.
She didn’t know why, but the moment she saw the little boy, Qiao Nian felt as if someone had grabbed her heart and gripped it so hard that she almost couldn’t stand up.
“Mommy, this is Qin Geng. He’s very sick. Mommy, can you help him get better? I want to play with Qin Geng!”
Qiao Mo ran over and raised her head to introduce the little boy.
Qiao Nian looked at the little boy. The little boy’s eyes were filled with longing.
“Mommy, can you stay and play with me? There’s no need to help me. I can’t get better…” the little boy lowered his head and said sadly.
Qiao Nian felt even sadder. She couldn’t help but walk up to the little boy. She bent down and gently stroked the little boy’s hair. “Okay, baby. Play with Qiao Mo for a while. But I’m not your mommy. Please don’t call me that!”
For some reason, Qiao Nian really wanted to help the little boy. She thought for a while and secretly made up her mind.
Qiao Nian returned to Qin Yang’s side and said, “I will help persuade Dr. Celeste to treat the child. But before that, I want to understand the child’s condition first.”
“What makes you think you can persuade Dr. Celeste? Just now, his assistant made it clear that Dr. Celeste will not treat the Qin family,” Qin Yang said in disbelief.
“I think Mr. Qin already knew what was going on when we came here,” Qiao Nian said calmly. “I am the only student who has won a Gold Medal Scholarship for four consecutive years since the founding of the first medical college in Country F. Moreover, I kept my identity a secret. In truth, I am Dr. Celeste’s last and only disciple.”
Everyone in the hall gasped when they heard Qiao Nian’s words. Qiao Nian only looked like she was in her early twenties. How did she manage to win the favor of Doctor Celeste at such a young age and achieve such outstanding results?
While some people believed her, others did not. Someone in the living room piped up, “Miss Qiao, don’t be arrogant. Mr. Celeste is internationally renowned. Why would he take you, an unknown woman, as his disciple? Our family money is precious. If it can’t be cured, you won’t be able to pay us back!”
Qiao Nian turned around and saw that the one who raised the question was a young woman. That woman was not in the living room just now. She must have been a servant of the Qin family. Although the woman hid it well, Qiao Nian could see a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Qiao Nian was not feeling very charitable at the moment. She looked at the woman and thought that if she wanted to gain the trust of the Qin family, she had to show some hard skills.
“This lady here,” Qiao Nian slowly walked to the lady’s side and said, “No matter how good your makeup is, it can’t cover your complexion. I see that your complexion is pale and your eyes are cloudy. From your voice, I can hear that your tone is sour and you don’t have enough energy. When I get closer, I can still smell the faint smell of blood on your body. Madam, why is your lower abdomen is inflamed and sore right now?”
Qiao Nian pressed on as she finished speaking. She turned back to look at Qin Yang and said, “Your family is really rich and heartless. Even a woman who has just had an abortion has to come in and work!”
“Nonsense!” The woman was instantly angered from embarrassment after her secret was exposed. She was about to retort when she was frozen by Qin Yang’s cold eyes.
“Uncle Liu.” Qin Yang called the butler and did not want to say anything else to the woman.
The butler understood and went up to the woman. He made a gesture to call her over.
This woman was also chosen to work here by the side branch of the family. She had been practicing the piano since she was a child and studied under the famous pianist, Mr. Whittle. She was the teacher who taught Qin Yang the piano.
Uncle Liu had noticed that she was not feeling quite right a while ago. She always took advantage of Qin Yang’s time at home to do odd things.
Uncle Liu had long wanted to find an excuse to send the woman back. He did not expect her to be such an indecent and vulgar woman! How could she still think of Qin Yang like this? She was overestimating herself!
Thinking of this, Uncle Liu could not help but give Qiao Nian, whom he had met for the first time, some credit. Speaking of Miss Qiao, she had just kissed Qin Yang! Miss Qiao was an enigma!
The haze that had been shrouding Uncle Liu’s heart all day had dissipated a little.
“If you still don’t believe me, I’ll give you three days. Mr. Qin can verify it himself,” Qiao Nian said. “However, I still hope to carry out the examination as soon as possible. Geng’s treatment cannot be delayed for too long…” Speaking about this, Qiao Nian’s voice could not help but become much gentler.
“I’ll investigate, but before that, you, Claud, and your daughter are not allowed to leave this place.”
“This is illegal detention!” Qiao Nian was so angry that she stomped her feet. “I want to call the police.”
“You can try calling the police.” Qin Yang did not care at all.
“Dad, don’t quarrel with mommy. You’ll scare mommy away.” A soft and sweet voice sounded. It was Qin Geng who had come back. “You need to be gentle with mommy.”
“Then I’ll check as soon as possible tomorrow.”
“We can stay here for a day.”
Qin Yang and Qiao Nian made concessions at the same time..
