Chapter 413 : Bringing People Back to Life Will Reduce Your Lifespan
Qi Bailing, who thought that she could control Meng Yan, did not expect Mr. Meng and her daughter were not people to be trifled with either.
In the afternoon, Butler Wang informed Qi Hao and Tan Wenjing to meet Old Master.
Tan Wenjing walked up to the old man and was stared at by his stern expression. She was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
Qi Hao was actually a little afraid of his grandfather as well. After the two of them entered, he did not dare to speak.
The old man glanced at the two of them and took a sip of tea. “Do you know why I called you here?”
The two of them quickly replied, “I don’t know.”
Qi Hao was afraid that the old man would be angry, so he quickly asked, “What did Grandpa want to tell us?”
The old man looked at his grandson in front of him and was a little disappointed.
He had always hoped that the Qi family would have another capable person like Qi Yihan, but none of his grandchildren were as capable as Qi Yihan. The only one who was capable was the illegitimate child.
Since there was no capable man in the third generation, he would have to nurture the fourth generation.
“Since you’re about to get married, take good care of your family in the future. Our Qi family is a big family and needs people to prosper. Giving a newborn to the family is the most important, making money is secondary.”
The old man had already made it so obvious, so the two of them understood.
The old man asked them to come just to tell them that. After saying what he had to say, he knocked on the table, signaling them to leave.
After walking out of the old man’s courtyard, Tan Wenjing lowered her head and stared at her toes as she walked. After a while, she said to Qi Hao in a low voice, “Qi Hao, I’ll try my best to have more children with you. That way, your grandpa will love you more.”
She thought that when she went back, she would ask her mother to find ways for her to get pregnant easier, preferably twins.
Qi Hao held Tan Wenjing’s hand and nodded.
…
The news of the old man looking for Qi Hao and Tan Wenjing reached Tang Li and Qi Yihan immediately.
Neither of them said anything.
Unexpectedly, when Tang Li was about to return to her house to rest for a while, Tan Wenjing came to find her.
“What is it?”
Looking at Tan Wenjing, who looked like she was in a dilemma, Tang Li said directly, “If you have something to say, say it. If not, go and rest. You’ll be the bride tomorrow, so don’t tire yourself out today.”
Tan Wenjing recalled how Tang Li asked the butler to tell her not to visit Fourth Master’s house often and was a little afraid to ask. However, when she thought of Tang Li’s ability, she quickly made a request. “Fourth Aunt, I want to ask you for a medicine that can quickly get me pregnant.”
Tang Li sized Tan Wenjing up.
Tan Wenjing couldn’t stand her gaze anymore. She lowered her eyes and said worriedly, “Today, Grandpa called me and Qi Hao over, asking us to give birth to a child as soon as possible.”
Tang Li was silent for a moment, thinking to herself that this was indeed what the old man would say.
However, if the old man placed his attention on others, he wouldn’t urge her so often.
At this thought, Tang Li decided to read fortune for Tan Wenjing. “Give me your hand. I’ll read your fortune.”
Tan Wenjing quickly extended her right hand to Tang Li and raised her palm.
Tang Li watched for a while. Under Tan Wenjing’s nervous and expectant gaze, she said, “Just go back and take good care of your body. Remember, don’t force it.”
With that, she let go of her hand and continued walking towards her house.
Tan Wenjing did not chase after her. Instead, she stood there with her eyes lowered, deep in thought.
When Tang Li returned to the courtyard, Qi Yihan was still entertaining the guests and had not returned. The two butlers were also busy. Only Qiqi and Linlin were playing games in the living room.
When Tang Li walked in, the two of them were focused on the tablet screen. She did not disturb them and walked to the side to sit down.
Qiqi quickly noticed her and called, “Godmother.”
Linlin also looked up.
Tang Li asked, “How’s your game going?”
Linlin immediately walked over with the tablet and sat beside her. She leaned against her and showed her the game interface as she said, “Qiqi and I are about to become world champions. Many people have been investigating our identities these past few days.”
Tang Li glanced at the game interface and said, “Then you have to hide yourself well. I remember that teenagers can’t play games. If you expose your age, you might be disqualified.”
When Linlin heard this, she said confidently, “We’re not afraid. We’re already very skilled hackers.”
Tang Li nodded and asked, “What if they ask you to go and receive the prize in person?”
“Hehe… Qiqi and I have already thought of this. Godmother can summon two paper men to replace us.”
Tang Li felt that this was a good idea, so she raised her hand to pat her head. “Alright, if you are required to appear in public, I’ll use two paper men to replace you.”
“Hehe…”
Tang Li watched their game for a while longer. Suddenly, a voice called her from outside the door. “Miss Tang, are you home?”
It was Mr. Yun’s voice.
Tang Li stood up and walked out.
The door to Fourth Master’s courtyard was open, and Mr. Yun was standing by the door.
When he saw Tang Li walk out, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Miss Tang, I finally found you.”
When Tang Li saw Mr. Yun’s expression, she knew that he had something to ask of her. She asked, “Mr. Yun, what brought you here?”
“So here is the thing.” Mr. Yun sighed and said, “When you went to Imperial University Hospital before, didn’t you happen to see Doctor Wang treating a patient?”
When Mr. Yun said that, Tang Li guessed what was going on. “Is that patient dead?”
Mr. Yun was not surprised that Tang Li knew it. He nodded. “Yes, I heard from Doctor Wang that he wanted to discuss the patient’s condition with you, but the other doctors objected.”
Tang Li nodded and said calmly, “That patient was about to die at that time.”
Mr. Yun sighed again. “As doctors, we all understand this, but the patient’s family refuses to give up. They say that it’s because the doctors at Imperial University Hospital are useless and don’t want to admit it. If they transferred the patient to another hospital with more capable doctors earlier, the patient would definitely not die.”
“A medical dispute?”
“That’s right.” Mr. Yun looked at Tang Li and begged, “Miss Tang, you’re very capable. Can you help Doctor Wang? This case is very important to his career.”
Tang Li thought for a moment and said, “To bring someone back to life, one’s lifespan will be shortened. I can’t possibly sacrifice my lifespan for Doctor Wang.”
Mr. Yun was stunned and quickly nodded. “You are right. I realized how unreasonable my request was.”
Tang Li was quite satisfied with his answer, so she added, “I have a way to make the patient’s family not hold Doctor Wang responsible, but… if you ask me for help, I won’t help you for nothing.”
