My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 867: No Matter What, I Must Give It a Try 2

After Si Mingjing and her group walked away, the old lady emerged from behind her daughter-in-law, fuming, "I gave birth to an unfilial daughter and married a granddaughter-in-law who doesn’t understand respect and hierarchy. What did I do to deserve this in my life! If only Yanyan were still here..."

Chang Danran chuckled internally, you know exactly what you’ve done wrong.

Chang Danran had never liked her mother-in-law. In her youth, she never interacted with her, as her mother-in-law disapproved of her and did many hurtful things to separate her from her husband. It wasn’t until her husband moved out and bought an apartment to live with her that her mother-in-law finally quieted down, fearing she would lose her son.

Their relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wasn’t good, so Chang Danran didn’t bother to pretend to be dutiful. She found an excuse to check rooms to avoid her mother-in-law’s nagging.

Chang Danran arrived at Mrs. Chen’s ward, and Mrs. Chen seized her in a heartfelt plea.

"Dr. Chang, please help us think of a way, my mother-in-law is your patient, you have an obligation to cure her."

Chang Danran replied, "We have never given up on treating the old lady; she’s been continually in treatment."

"But the effect of your treatment can’t compare to Miss Si’s. The husband of the old lady surnamed Liang was previously much sicker than my mother-in-law. Now, she’s recovered greatly, her son is already arranging for her hospital discharge, but my mother-in-law..."

As she spoke, Mrs. Chen glanced at her mother-in-law, who was lying weakly on the hospital bed.

Her mother-in-law’s condition worsened day by day, if...

Her mother-in-law’s retirement pension was substantial, even higher than the combined salaries of her and her husband. Usually, her mother-in-law would use her pension to support them. If she were gone, it would be a significant loss to their family.

For the sake of the pension, Mrs. Chen was determined to do whatever necessary to plead with Si Mingjing to treat her mother-in-law.

"Dr. Chang, I’m begging you to think of a way. You are Miss Si’s aunt. She’d definitely give face to you."

Mrs. Chen pulled Chang Danran outside; the two stood in the corridor of the ward. Mrs. Chen thought that when asking for help, one must show sincerity. She stuffed a card into Chang Danran’s hand, but Chang Danran refused to accept it.

Mrs. Chen was almost in tears. Though she was of status, she was now lowering herself so much because she felt she had no other choice, insisting on trying to give the card to Chang Danran.

"Dr. Chang, can you perhaps help arrange a dinner? We wish to apologize to Miss Si face to face..."

Chang Danran still wouldn’t accept it and only when she was begged to the ends did she say, "As your family’s primary doctor, I naturally hope for the old lady’s recovery. I’ll tell you a method, which might be worth a try, but I can’t guarantee success."

Mrs. Chen listened intently, "Dr. Chang, tell me, I’m willing to try anything."

Chang Danran spoke softly of a method, and Mrs. Chen’s eyes brightened immediately, "Dr. Chang, thank you for telling me."

Chang Danran continued, "I can’t guarantee Mingjing will be swayed, but she’s quite interested in this these days."

Mrs. Chen clenched her fingers, "No matter what, I have to give it a try."

...

From downstairs at the hospital, Si Mingjing leaned into the car.

Mo Yinhe was inside handling affairs, with a holographic virtual screen open. Countless formulas and data slid across the screen. Si Mingjing watched for a while but couldn’t understand them. She curiously asked, "What is this?"

Mo Yinhe lazily leaned back against the seat, his long legs crossed, and gently pinched her face, "Mingjing, you’re truly my lucky charm. This is the data map for the ’anywhere door’ from the research institute I have my eye on. It’s his research, it might not result in an ’anywhere door’, but he’s a very thoughtful young man."

"What does this have to do with me?"

She saw an unopened milk tea in the car and knew it was bought for her to try.

Si Mingjing poked a straw into the milk tea cup and took a sip.

Mo Yinhe turned his handsome face towards hers, his deep gaze landing on her bright face, and he laughed, "This young man, surnamed Song, is the grandson of that old lady Liang you treated. You saved his grandmother’s life, and now he’s working hard for me. Don’t you think you’re my lucky star?"

Si Mingjing blinked in surprise and also laughed, "Such things happen? Which son’s child is he? The second son of the Song Family?"

Mo Yinhe didn’t know any second son of the Song Family, but he did know the young man’s mother ranked as the second in her family.

Si Mingjing drank more milk tea, took a couple of sips, and smiled, "This is truly fate. How do you plan to repay me?"

Mo Yinhe pulled her into his arms and whispered into her ear, "By physical repayment."

Si Mingjing pinched his waist hard, is this physical repayment?

She said, "Seriously, I just saw your own grandmother in Aunt’s office earlier, your real grandmother. She came to plead on behalf of the Chen Family for me to save Mrs. Chen."

Mo Yinhe’s expression turned cold as ice from a millennia-old snow mountain, "She’s not my grandmother, don’t give her any face!"

Si Mingjing responded, "She was trying to use her age to pressure us, so I called Mom, and Mom argued back against her. Mom said she and Dad would come to A Country in a few days, because they’re worried about Si Yuan."

"I know." Mo Yinhe had already received a call from his father. He said, "Dad’s idea is to hold another wedding for Si Yuan in A Country, moving the one from Yecheng here, and no longer holding it in Yecheng since there are more relatives here."

"I see, when is the date set?"

"Still the original date, the 7th in half a month, just moving the location to A Country."

Si Mingjing calculated the time; if Mrs. Chen could persuade Professor Ye, then the half a month would be enough for her to treat Mrs. Chen. That would be perfect, allowing her to leisurely enjoy life during this half month.

Si Mingjing opened the app from last night, where she had spotted a popular restaurant, and gave the address to the driver.

Online reviews said the sashimi at this restaurant was delicious, so she wanted to try it.

She’d been on Earth for over a year, always busy with her feet barely on the ground; the most relaxed period seemed to be these recent days.

She thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciated it.

After visiting the popular restaurant and ordering the sashimi, she realized the taste paled compared to the myriad of seafood sashimi at Undersea World.

A bit disappointed.

Mo Yinhe found it quite amusing that she wanted to fantasize about the best sashimi in an inland city, akin to craving the most authentic roast lamb in a coastal city.

To recover face, Si Mingjing concluded, "It’s normal for the locals to find it tasty; I’ve simply seen a broader sky and tasted more delicious seafood, so it’s not that the restaurant is unreliable. Where shall we enjoy ourselves this afternoon?"

Changing activities to keep his wife entertained each day, ensuring freshness and interest, was indeed a challenge. Luckily, Mo Yinhe was prepared with a strategy. He said, "I’ll take you to a place, you’re certainly going to like it."
