Sun Wenjing looked a bit awkward. But for her mother, she braved herself forward even if she had to disgrace herself. She smiled, “Dr. Tang, I’m really sorry for what I did before. I’m too shortsighted and judged you by your appearance. In these two days, I’ve heard that your medical expertise and ethics are equally good, so please don’t stoop yourself down to my level.”

A surprised expression was revealed in Tang Xiu’s eyes when he heard it. He originally thought that Sun Wenjing came to pick a quarrel, but she unexpectedly came to apologize. Since she sincerely apologized, it was not good for him to give a cold face. As the saying goes, hit not the people who are smiling at you, instead reach out your hand to them. Therefore, he waved and said, “Let the bygones be bygones. But pay attention to it later.”

Sun Wenjing was secretly relieved. “I must keep this lesson in mind, to not judge people by their appearances, and strive to face everything with an amiable and modest attitude.”

“I’ve received your words of apology. Take a seat and have lunch with us!”

“Dr. Tang, actually, there’s one matter that I want to ask you,” said Sun Wenjing.

“What?” knitting his brows, Tang Xiu asked.

Sun Wenjing said, “well, recently I’m in a bad mood because my mother is ill and hospitalized in our hospital.”

Tang Xiu asked with a puzzled expression, “What’s her illness?”

Sun Wenjing looked pained, “Liver cancer, medium stage. The cancer cells already spread out.”

Tang Xiu raised his brows, “And your meaning is, you want me to treat her?”

Nodding, Sun Wenjing answered, “Rumors have it that you’re a divine doctor. Even President Li admits that he’s inferior to you. He said to me that if anyone in this world can save my mother, that person must be you. Also, President Li told me out of his own selfishness, since he wants to witness a miracle occur in the medical field.”

For a moment, Tang Xiu fell into silence. He then slowly shook his head, saying, “I’m not as good as people say in the rumors. I’m afraid that I can’t do anything for your mother’s illness. I’m really sorry to disappoint you and President Li.”

Sun Wenjing begged, “Would you please give it a try, Dr. Tang? Please! No matter what requests you put forward, I’ll try my best to fulfill them. Rather, we—brothers and sisters, will fully cooperate to meet your requests. My mother has brought us up, the four siblings, by herself until we grew up. She spent her whole life taking care of us and our children. You can say that she has yet to enjoy her life, and now, she has cancer. I really don’t want to see her leaving us in pain and suffering from illness. So please, I beg you, try it!”

Looking at Sun Wenjing’s desperate begging as well as taking a glance at Tang Xiu, as kindhearted as she was, Dai Xinyue hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice, “Dr. Tang, would you give it a try? The elderly are quite pitiful. Even if you can’t cure her, the doctor won’t blame you either.”

Tang Xiu sighed inwardly. He didn’t like Sun Wenjing, but her filial affection touched his heart. After staying silent for a moment, he slowly said, “I have three requirements.”

“Please tell me!” Sun Wenjing’s eyes brightened up and quickly replied.

“Firstly, no matter what it is, the matter of me treating your mother must not be disclosed to anyone, not even Li Hongji. You must keep it confidential.” Said Tang Xiu.

“I can do that!” Sun Wenjing nodded heavily.

Tang Xiu said, “Secondly, prepare 100 thousand yuan and donate it to the hospital for poor patients. As for the people you want to donate to, find them yourself!”

“No problem,” said Sun Wenjing without hesitation.

Tang Xiu continued, “Thirdly, discharge your mother from the hospital and return home. I’ll come to your house every night afterward. If there are any medical instruments needed, you must buy them.”

Sun Wenjing hesitated a moment, asking, “Dr. Tang, how long will you need for the treatment?”

“My time is limited. If I can’t cure her within 10 days, continuing the treatment is no longer necessary.” Said Tang Xiu.

After thinking for a few seconds, Sun Wenjing said, “I’ll prepare the discharge procedure for my mother this afternoon and we’ll be waiting for you at home in the evening. As for my home address, I’ll text it to your mobile phone!”

“Alright!” Tang Xiu told her his phone number and sent her away.

Dai Xinyue looked at Tang Xiu curiously and whispered, “Dr. Tang, I know you for only a short time, but I can tell that you’re a very confident person. Since you asked that doctor to take her mother back home, could it be that you have the confidence to cure her mother’s cancer?”

Smiling mildly, Tang Xiu replied, “You’re thinking too much!”

“No. I’m not thinking too much. I really admire your medical expertise. I can even say that you’re simply omnipotent in the medical science area. From yesterday until today, I’ve been counting. There were a total of 168 patients that came to see you for consultation and treatment. 57 of whom had been cured on the scene, whereas the rest had their condition turned for the better. I myself believe that it wouldn’t take long for their condition to be fully restored.” Dai Xinyue shook her head and replied.

“You remember that clearly?” Tang Xiu was surprised.

With a light smile, Dai Xinyue said, “The subject I’m actually most interested in is numbers, to begin with. I was applying for a math-related major in college when I was taking my CET. But my grandfather didn’t want me to take it. Instead, he wanted me to take the medical school. So, I took math as a hobby and I’m very good at remembering numbers.”

“I got you. But since you’re that confident in me, I’m afraid that I’ll let you down if I fail to cure her mother’s illness. But be at ease! I’ll try my best to treat her mother for you to keep your amazement toward me.” Tang Xiu said with a laugh.

A splendor flashed from Dai Xinyue’s eyes. At the same time, a cunning light also flashed from her eyes as she smiled, “If you can cure that doctor’s mother, I’ll worship you as a teacher and I’ll study medical skills from you with all seriousness.”
