I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 279 Where There's a Will, There's a Way

279 Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way

Old Lady Zhen immediately looked at them, a trace of nervousness in her expression. “How did it go?”

Zhen Yiping smiled and said, “I’ve already asked Hanyu to take the medicine. Dr. Sang said that Hanyu’s poison will be completely cured in 12 to 24 hours. It’s just that he has slight muscle atrophy in his legs, but it can be recovered with proper ma.s.saging and exercise.”

The old lady was so excited that she couldn’t speak. “Okay, okay, okay. Yiping, get someone to bring a thank you gift!”

Very quickly, a servant came over with a tray. On the tray was a check which he respectfully handed to Sang Qianqian.

“Miss Sang, this is part of the consultation fee,”

Because of what Miao Leshan had said about her testing the medicine, Old Lady Zhen looked at Sang Qianqian with much more kindness. “When Hanyu is fully recovered, the Zhen family will thank you very much.”

As expected of mother and son, it was exactly the same as what Zhen Yiping had just said.

Sang Qianqian did not take it. “There’s no need for that,” she replied politely. “We’ll talk about it after Mr. Shen has fully recovered.”

Old Lady Zhen and Zhen Yiping were both a little surprised. This was the first doctor who had come to the Zhen family to treat Hanyu but refused the consultation fee.

Although this was only a portion of the fee, the amount was enough to pay for a normal doctor’s decades of work.

“That’s good.” Zhen Yiping thought about Shen Hanyu’s relations.h.i.+p with Sang Qianqian and did not insist. He smiled and said, “I’ll let Hanyu go to thank Miss Sang personally.”

After Sang Qianqian and Miao Leshan left.

Zhen Yiping retracted his gaze. “Mother, you would never have thought that Hanyu and Miss Sang were old friends.”

“Oh?” Old Lady Zhen, who was about to pick up her teacup, paused. “Why do you say that?”

“When Hanyu was in Ming City, Miss Sang had treated him.”

Zhen Yiping sat down opposite the old lady. “Just now, Hanyu asked me to leave. He had a private conversation with Miss Sang for more than ten minutes.”

Even the old lady was surprised by his words. She nodded and said, “It seems like they’re acquaintances with a good relations.h.i.+p.”

Otherwise, this grandson of hers would not have made such a move.

Zhen Yiping smiled and nodded, not telling the old lady that Sang Qianqian had said that she was not close to Shen Hanyu at all.

“I just asked Leshan, and he said that Miss Sang knew Fu’er when she was studying abroad. This time, she went abroad to visit Professor Fu’er and happened to be there during the time he got in the fire incident, so she helped with Professor Fu’er’s funeral.”

Old Lady Zhen sipped her tea and muttered, “Didn’t you send people to look for that old Professor Fu’er? Our people didn’t run into Miss Sang?”

“I think we met. They might have thought that Miss Sang was Fu’er’s friend or family, so they didn’t pay attention. I’ll confirm with them later.”

As Zhen Yiping spoke, he seemed to be deep in thought. “I don’t know why, but I keep feeling that this Miss Sang looks a little familiar, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen her before.”

Old Lady Zhen laughed, “I heard from Leshan that this lady came to the capital last winter and stayed for no more than a year. You’re usually so busy, so how would you have the chance to see her?”

Their ident.i.ties were worlds apart, and it was almost impossible for their social circles to overlap.

Furthermore, if Zhen Yiping felt unwell, there would be a family doctor to diagnose and prescribe medicine. Even if he had to go to the hospital, the doctors would be experienced medical professors. There was no way they would look for a young doctor like Sang Qianqian.

“You’re right.”

Zhen Yiping nodded. “Maybe I remembered it wrong.”

“Now that Mr. Shen’s matter has been settled, you should also have a good rest.”

On the way back to the hospital, Miao Leshan looked at Sang Qianqian’s obvious dark circles and said, “Those who don’t know better would think that the hospital is inhumane, making you stay up late and work overtime every day. Do you need me to give you two days off?”

“No need. Do you remember that old saying? When a person is happy, they will be in high spirits.”

Sang Qianqian smiled lightly. “Director Miao, you don’t know that I’m full of energy right now. I can’t wait to go back to work and s.h.i.+ne.”

After solving the big problem that she had been thinking about, Sang Qianqian felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She was in a great mood, and felt as if the gloomy sky in front of her had suddenly brightened up.

Miao Leshan shook his head and sighed. “You went overseas to see Fu’er all for Mr. Shen’s sake. Why didn’t you let me tell Old Lady Zhen the truth?”

“There’s no need for that.”

Sang Qianqian did not think much of it. “It doesn’t matter what I’ve done, as long as he can get better.”

She had done all this for Shen Hanyu willingly, and it had nothing to do with the Zhen family.

She didn’t want the Zhen family to think that she was taking advantage of them, and she didn’t want Shen Hanyu to feel that he owed her anything.

Moreover, Shen Hanyu was only involved in the dispute with Ruan Cheng because of her, and he was poisoned to save Sang Minglang.

All she did was try her best to repay Shen Hanyu’s kindness.

“Qianqian, you’re too much of a magnanimous person. You have to think about yourself more.”

“There’s something I didn’t want to tell you,” Director Miao said solemnly. “But now that I think about it, it’s better to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Last month, I came to the Zhen family to check on the old lady. There was a very beautiful girl who kept the old lady company, talking and laughing.”

He continued, “The old lady was very close to that girl and called her Xiao Lan. She even asked her to personally deliver the ginseng soup to Mr. Shen.”

Sang Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat. Xiao Lan?

“Does that girl have willow-leaf eyebrows, an oval face, long hair, and a pair of ruby earrings?”

Fang Lan seemed to like wearing red ear studs. There were so many of them that they were almost her symbol.

“How did you know?” Director Miao was surprised.

“I know her. She’s Hanyu’s friend, Fang Lan. The Fang family and the Zhen family seem to have been friends for generations.”

Sang Qianqian’s understanding of Fang Lan was limited to this much.

“Friend? I don’t think it’s that simple.”

Miao Leshan said meaningfully, “I was with the old lady for more than 20 minutes, but that girl never came back. She must have been with Mr. Shen the whole time.”

Sang Qianqian chuckled. “Even so, it’s impossible for anything to happen between them.”

“Why is it impossible?”

Director Miao glared at her. “Mr. Shen’s status now is not what it used to be. The higher the status, the more he likes to pay attention to matching social status. Even if Mr. Shen doesn’t mind, do you think Old Lady Zhen and the head of the Zhen family wouldn’t say anything?”

He said in a worried tone, “Qianqian, you have to be more careful. I don’t want Mr. Shen to end up with another woman after we’ve saved him.”

“If that’s the case, then there’s nothing for him to miss.”

Sang Qianqian smiled sweetly and said obediently, “But I’ll remember what you said, Director Miao. I’ll pay more attention to it.”

Back then, Shen Hanyu had broken up with her because of the misunderstanding of their family background.

She had thought about the problem Director Miao had mentioned. If Shen Hanyu also cared about it, then she would just a.s.sume that she had made a mistake.

However, if he didn’t mind, then where there’s a will, there’s a way.

That night, Shen Hanyu’s thoughts were in a mess, and he could not fall asleep.
