I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

"Sitian, don’t push too hard..."

Qin Wushuang was so startled by this sentence that her heart almost leapt out. Could it be that Luo Xudong has long had feelings for her but just couldn’t express them?

At this moment, her shattered confidence suddenly rebounded. She felt that even though she wasn’t as pretty as Beisitian, she wasn’t worse in other aspects, and there was no reason for Luo Xudong not to notice her!

"Brother-in-law..." Qin Wushuang looked at him with an innocent face.

But Luo Xudong didn’t even spare her a glance and continued to say to Beisitian, "If she can’t handle it, then replace her."

Replace her?

Qin Wushuang paused, feeling something wasn’t quite right about those words.

Replace who?

Recalling Beisitian’s earlier mention of a housemaid, a sudden realization struck her: could it be that Luo Xudong... has always treated her as a maid?

Qin Wushuang’s eyes widened as she looked at Luo Xudong, then at Beisitian, immediately thinking she had figured out the reason.

It must have been Beisitian who said that. Otherwise, how could Luo Xudong, who was always going out early and returning late, possibly know about her situation?

Yes, that must be it!

Qin Wushuang bit her lower lip and raised her eyes, saying, "Perhaps I’m insignificant to my sister, so she’s never mentioned me to brother-in-law, right? I’m the daughter of Qin Youwei from the Qin Family, a family that’s been a part of the Xuan Medical Family for generations, blessed with talents, and here I am, just the least promising one to hold up the family’s reputation."

Qin Wushuang seemed humble, but it was precisely because her outstanding talent had always been a topic of interest, making her appear not only unspoiled but also elevating her family’s overall standing.

Doesn’t this make it clear? She’s not some maid; she’s the noble daughter of the Xuan Medical Family!

"Sitian, I’m going out for a while; wait for me to come back to have dinner together," Luo Xudong said.

His icy demeanor seemed to melt into warmth when he looked at Beisitian, but what annoyed Qin Wushuang wasn’t this; it was his disregard of her existence.

What she had just said was meant for him to hear, but now, why was he acting as if she didn’t exist?

More than that, he even started showing off affection right before her eyes!

Luo Xudong didn’t do it on purpose; he just didn’t take Qin Wushuang seriously. The initial remark was made because he found her demeanor distasteful, that look expecting him to defend her was quite off-putting. Didn’t she ever think about why she deserved it?

That’s why he added that extra line, and once it was said, he couldn’t be bothered to engage anymore; after all, Beisitian wouldn’t suffer any losses.

He intended to go out at this time and reminded Beisitian only because he hadn’t had dinner with his wife and children for two days and naturally wanted to spend more time with them.

"Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back," Beisitian said with a smile.

Luo Xudong could sometimes have a dark humor, and his words just now must have been like a stab to Qin Wushuang’s heart.

The husband’s perfect support made Beisitian smile knowingly.

Watching Luo Xudong leave without looking back, Qin Wushuang felt both irked and helpless, ultimately blaming everything on Beisitian.

"Sister, I have something to do, I’ll be going now," Qin Wushuang said in a deep voice.

Qin Wushuang didn’t wait for Beisitian’s response and stepped out of the small courtyard.

As for Qin Wushuang’s departure, Beisitian didn’t care much, nor did she care about her emotions.

Shortly after Qin Wushuang left, Jiang Mingzhong arrived with news of Qin Xinyu.

Qin Xinyu’s side had already regrouped and was waiting for updates from Beisitian’s side.

Beisitian nodded; she had noticed Qin Xinyu’s intentions toward the main family. If they could leverage this opportunity to gain Qin Xinyu’s allegiance, it would indeed be a great asset.

"However, Xinyu’s side still encountered some troubles. Some people from the Qin Family accepted Qin Youwei’s claims, believing him to be your acknowledged head of the subordinate family, so they don’t trust Xinyu," Jiang Mingzhong said.

Beisitian nodded. This matter was simple; all she needed to do was make a statement.

While the adults were discussing these matters, Cheng Tianji came in from outside, walked over to Luo Xuping, and sat down on the steps.

"What, got dumped again?" Luo Xuping raised an eyebrow and asked.

Cheng Tianji rolled his eyes, "I’ve only ever dumped others, never been dumped."

"Then why do you look so miserable?"

"I might have to leave Beijing soon."

Luo Xuping paused his action and turned to look at him; seeing he wasn’t joking, he came over and sat beside him.

"Temporarily or permanently?"

"I don’t really know."

"What do you mean you don’t know? You’re studying here."

Cheng Tianji shrugged, "It depends on my parents; it seems they encountered some issues and need me to help them."

Luo Xuping stayed silent. Despite his young age, Cheng Tianji’s mind was superb, and he was sure to take a political path in the future. Even now, he could advise his father and often had ingenious ideas. Compared to him, he still had a long way to go.

"So you’re transferring schools?" Luo Xuping leaned his arms on his legs and looked up at the sky.

Cheng Tianji didn’t say yes or no but just sighed, "My father is sending a car to pick me up tomorrow morning, so I won’t be coming here anymore. Help me tell Sister, okay?"

He stood up as he spoke, while Luo Xuping remained seated.

"Tell her yourself."

Cheng Tianji looked down at Luo Xuping and smiled, "Won’t help me with one last favor, huh? Whether you tell her or not is up to you."

Luo Xuping watched him as he casually walked away with one hand in his pocket and the other slung behind his backpack. He felt a bit irate.

Leaving so abruptly without giving any time for preparation!

Feeling angry, Luo Xuping didn’t go to see Cheng Tianji off the next day; anyway, Cheng Tianji didn’t plan on having him there, leaving at five in the morning.

After waking up and reaching noon, he finally mentioned it to Beisitian.

"There’s nothing we can do; since Tianji wants to take this road, he must start learning and understanding things early. Helping his father is the best way, and besides, he’s smart. With today’s convenient transport, it’s just a few hours’ drive, and you can visit him if time allows."

Luo Xuping pouted, "Why visit him? He’s not my girlfriend."

Beisitian smiled, "So you have a girlfriend now."

The young man blushed at the teasing, "Sis, I’m focusing on academics right now, not considering romantic relationships!"

Beisitian chuckled, but before she could say more, Tian Zhi came running in urgently.

"Master, Cheng Tianji is in trouble!"

Luo Xuping shot up immediately.

"Cheng Tianji’s car was in an accident, and he’s currently in the hospital being rescued!"
