Si Mingjing instinctively turned her head toward the banquet hall entrance, but she didn’t see anyone.
However, Old Mada Ye’s words were enough to set off alarm bells.
Old Mada Ye said with a smile, "You saved Xiaobai, so the child’s father definitely wants to show his gratitude. He had soone delete all the online news about him wanting to marry you. Now, countless people are probably waiting to see you embarrassed. Tonight, he’ll co to support you, and then no one will dare to laugh. It’s what he should do. Don’t be surprised."
Si Mingjing thought, I’m not surprised, I’m horrified.
"Where is Mr. Mo?"
"He was at the entrance taking a phone call," Old Mada Ye replied. "He’s still on the phone, so we ca in first."
Si Mingjing frowned. It seems I can’t avoid the inevitable tonight?
It wasn’t really a major issue. She was just afraid that Mo Yinhe would realize she had mistaken him for soone else and, worse, kissed the wrong person. The resulting awkwardness might prevent him from letting her continue his treatnt.
However, her original intention was rely to ruin Song Pianlan’s marriage prospects.
Now that she knew Mo Yinhe was a man of deep affection, cherishing an unforgettable love, he would never marry Song Pianlan. Si Mingjing felt her goal had been achieved. As for whether I can pass Mo Yinhe’s probationary period, it doesn’t seem to affect the big picture, does it?
Si Mingjing composed herself and deftly shielded Old Mada Ye from wave after wave of people attempting to flatter and curry favor, guiding her to a quieter spot to sit.
Old Mada Ye found Si Mingjing very perceptive. At her advanced age, Old Mada Ye was most weary of socializing; like an empress dowager, she rely wished to lend her presence to the event.
However, Si Mingjing’s actions indeed offended those who wished to curry favor but found no opportunity.
So jealous and envious people whispered, their tone unpleasant, "I really don’t understand how a girl like Mingjing, who just returned to Earth, has the standing or ability to invite Old Mada Ye to her family recognition banquet."
Song Pianlan approached with a smile. "You might not believe this," she said, "but my niece’s dical skills are even better than my grandfather’s. A few days ago, the Ye Family’s young master suffered a Type III-C open tibial fracture. A Country’s top dical team was helpless. But with a single punch from my niece, the young master was up and jumping around again! My niece perford a great service for the Ye Family’s young master."
Song Pianlan’s voice, neither loud nor soft, nonetheless drew the attention of many in the banquet hall. This was a clear attempt to set Si Mingjing up.
"Is she really that impressive?"
"That’s quite a tall tale! A fracture isn’t a dislocation. How could one punch possibly cure it?"
"Exactly! Even though I’m not a doctor, I know a fracture ans a broken bone. How could a punch fix that?"
Song Pianlan didn’t believe it herself, but she asserted confidently, "It’s not just saying this; the doctors at the Third Hospital say so too. My niece is truly a Divine Doctor of our ti."
In the banquet hall, several doctors from the Third Hospital were gathered, chatting. Whether Song Pianlan’s claim was true could be easily verified by asking them.
One particularly earnest guest actually went over to verify the claim.
To everyone’s surprise, Xian Chen from the Third Hospital said, "We’d also really like to know exactly how she cured him. But Young Master Ye’s condition was indeed cured by Miss Si. If he had undergone the treatnt plan we proposed, amputation would likely have been the most prudent option."
Upon hearing this, the crowd was astounded.
They all turned to look at Si Mingjing again.
She looked far too young, not at all like a physician with extraordinary abilities.
Just then, a man in his forties approached Si Mingjing. "Miss Si," he asked, "I’ve heard your dical skills are superb, that illnesses which baffle A Country’s top dical teams are re trifles for you. I wonder if you can cure my ailnt?"
With that, he rolled up his trouser leg all the way to his thigh.
