Chapter 116: Be Honest About the Current Situation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasized that medicine and food came from the same source.

Most of the time, the treatment approach would be gentle, slowly nourishing the body and achieving the goal of removing the illness.

Because there were rarely intense prescriptions, the treatment process was relatively slow.

Many patients were skeptical about this and turned to Western medicine for treatment.

If Lei Qiming’s research hypothesis were really successful, it would greatly increase the efficacy of Traditional Chinese medicine. The treatment process would be significantly shortened if the prescription and the patient’s physical condition were the same! This would be a great research that could change the status of Traditional Chinese medicine.

When Qu Xiao thought of this, her gaze was uncontrollably filled with excitement.

Lei Qiming raised his brilliant smile and laughed at the sky twice.

“That’s right! I will announce the results of the scientific research at the Overseas Research and Development Conference next week.”

“We may face many problems and difficulties these few days, but as long as we conquer them, we will be able to become the pioneer!”

Hearing Lei Qiming’s words, Qu Xiao’s body froze, and she pointed at herself suspiciously. “We?”

Lei Qiming nodded and slowly extended his palm to her. “Are you willing to be my assistant and join the research team?”

Qu Xiao took a long time to digest the surprise in front of her, and then she shook Lei Qiming’s hand tightly. “Of course I’m willing!”

She and Lei Qiming were so busy in the laboratory that they didn’t notice time passing by quickly.

At the same time, in the old residence of the Shang family, Shang Yan entered the living room in a wheelchair. He found that Grandfather Shang, Shang Liqing, and Shang Xinchen were all present. Their gazes fell on him in unison, as if they were about to start a hearing about him.

Shang Liqing tilted her head and stared at the empty courtyard. She deliberately said provocatively, “What? Second Brother’s wife is putting on airs?”

“Is she going to be late even though Grandfather invited her?”

Shang Yan frowned slightly and explained to Grandfather Shang, “Professor Lei Qiming from A University is looking for her for some matters. She will rush over after settling it.”

Grandfather Shang had heard of Lei Qiming’s reputation. His displeased expression eased a little.

Shang Liqing rolled her eyes and spoke again.

“Second Brother, are you treating us as outsiders? Do you still want to hide such a huge matter from us? Are you sure you need to sit in a wheelchair?” Her personality was straightforward, and what she said made Shang Yan silent.

Shang Yan knew that the news could not be kept secret for long, so he quickened his pace to deal with the company’s affairs.

At this moment, he pressed against the wheelchair’s armrest and slowly stood up.

Grandfather Shang’s pupils dilated and his breathing became rapid and excited. He leaned forward and stood up with his cane. He ran to Shang Yan quickly, sizing up his legs which could rely on their own strength to walk. “Are you really alright?”

Shang Yan nodded and saw tears welling up in Grandfather Shang’s eyes. “I didn’t have the time to tell you about what happened this afternoon.”

The huge impact made the Shang family fall into silence. Shang Liqing opened her mouth and wanted to continue instigating, but Shang Yan spoke first, “The reason why I was able to stand up was all thanks to Qu Xiao. She started looking for renowned doctors half a year ago and self-learned Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture to diagnose and treat me.”

“Every night, she had to keep an eye on my condition and look around for renowned medicine that could help me recuperate.”

“It was also her and Professor Lei Qiming who concocted the prescription, and she even used her life as a stake to help me overcome my psychological trauma. Grandfather, without Qu Xiao, I wouldn’t have been able to stand up. I don’t expect you to immediately accept and thank her, but I hope you can try to get to know her again.”

Shang Yan’s every word was sincere and clear. Grandfather Shang’s was slightly moved.

Shang Liqing saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly retorted, “What does it have to do with her? Qu Xiao only knows how to put on a show.”

Shang Xinchen curled up on the sofa and could not help but speak up for Qu Xiao, “I can prove that she had entered A University because she wanted to treat Second Brother’s illness.”

“Qu Xiao even bought an ancient medical book from me. I heard that she was in danger for Second Brother several times. She is really loyal.”

Shang Liqing heard Shang Xinchen’s words and glared at him, “Who exactly are you speaking up for?”

“Am I trying to harm Second Brother? Qu Xiao has no upbringing. She doesn’t care about the big picture when she does things. Her identity is also…”

Shang Liqing ridiculed excitedly. She subconsciously shrunk her neck and pulled Shang Xinchen to block her when she felt Shang Yan’s gaze. Her voice gradually weakened as she retorted, “I just hope that Second Brother can find a better one, can’t I?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the butler outside the door brought Wen Wan in.

Shang Yan quickly pulled the wheelchair and then pretended to be unable to move. He stared fiercely at Shang Liqing.

Wen Wan was wearing a pure white floral dress, and her meticulous make-up made her look attractive. Her eyes were glued to Shang Yan. She smiled shyly and gently greeted the crowd, “Grandfather, Second Brother, I’m here to see Liqing.”

Shang Liqing suddenly jumped up from the sofa and held Wen Wan’s arm as she pushed her to Shang Yan’s side. At the same time, she used her eyes to hint at Grandfather Shang.

Wen Wan, the only daughter of the Wen family, the beloved daughter of a prestigious family.

Shang Liqing could not help but imagine what a happy and harmonious scene it would be if she could be Shang Yan’s wife!
