When Shen Duoyi heard this, he couldn’t help but smile. He showed no signs of being embarra.s.sed after the awkward situation.

Su Qian saw the strong smile on Shen Duoyi’s face and frowned in confusion as she asked, “What’s so funny?”

Shen Duoyi seemed to sense the displeasure in Su Qian’s words. He hurriedly cleared his throat and said, “Miss Su, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean to offend you, but your mother once said something similar. It reminded me of the time we spent together. I couldn’t help but laugh.”

Seeing Shen Duoyi narrow his eyes as he spoke with a nostalgic expression, Su Qian couldn’t help but ponder for a moment. “You had a good relations.h.i.+p with my mother?”

“Of course. We had a deep bond, a life-and-death friends.h.i.+p that surpa.s.ses ordinary relations.h.i.+ps. I’ve always admired your mother. She has a good temperament and formidable strength. Honestly, I’ve always regarded your mother as my lifelong goal. I thought that perhaps one day, I could surpa.s.s her.” Shen Duoyi lowered his head at the end of his sentence to hide the emotions that flashed across his eyes. He took a deep breath and then smiled. “Forget it, forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Su Qian looked at Shen Duoyi’s expression and could clearly feel the genuine nostalgia this man harbored for her mother.

There were no evil thoughts mixed in this reminiscence. It was like an old friend reminiscing about his friend who had pa.s.sed away. He didn’t want to delve into it, but it was much better than Dongfang Ruyan who kept talking about her mother.

Looking at the man in front of her, Su Qian indeed found him quite agreeable.

As the saying goes, one shouldn’t extend their hand unless to slap a smiling face. Su Qian said bluntly, “Mr. Shen didn’t come here just to apologize for your wife and son. If you have anything to say, feel free.”

“I’m sure Miss Su knows about my wife’s condition. I’d like to ask Miss Su to help treat my wife’s illness.” Shen Duoyi’s eyes were filled with pleading as he slowly said to Su Qian.

“The last time I helped Eldest Miss Dongfang take her pulse, she hid something from me. I wonder if this time…”

“We’ll definitely cooperate well with you this time, Miss Su. Please don’t worry.” Shen Duoyi hurriedly said this before looking at Su Qian with hidden antic.i.p.ation in his eyes. “So, does this mean Miss Su has agreed?”

The smile on Su Qian’s lips deepened. “Of course. However, I’ve always liked to collect the consultation fee first before treating the patient.”

Last time, her willingness to help was based on the old relations.h.i.+p between the Nangong and Dongfang families, a request from her grandparents.

However, Dongfang Ruyan was so stubborn that she provoked her two children, ruining the favor.

Since there was no favor, the only way to get her help was through a hefty consultation fee.

When Shen Duoyi heard this, he looked at Su Qian with a hint of surprise in his eyes. However, he quickly calmed down, nodded sincerely, and said, “Yes, Miss Su, you’re right. However, I wonder how much consultation fee Miss Su requires. If you could specify an amount, we can make the necessary preparations..”
