"Unless the person with the final say comes out to sign a healing agreement, I won't proceed. If the agreement is signed, the backlash will affect those in charge, not me."
Zhu Yanyi spoke calmly, "Grandpa Yun, I am a doctor, but I am not a savior. I do not plan to use my luck, or the lives of my loved ones, to heal a stranger. I would rather be called cruel. After all, being a 'Saintly Hand, Demon Doctor' is part of my character."
Grandpa Yun thought seriously, "Then what will you do if you meet this Duke?"
"I will speak the truth. First, I will ask if she can make decisions for Princess Elissa. If she can, we sign the agreement, then I treat her. If she cannot, I will find the person who can. Anyway, Princess Elissa will not die within the next five years. I am not in a hurry." After all, she was not the one who was sick. Why should she rush?
Grandpa Yun understood. Zhu Yanyi was telling him that there was plenty of time. Let them drag it out if they wanted. The cost of money and time was not on their side.
"Also, I am very busy. I will not give them much time to think. If it takes too long, and I become busy, even if the person in charge comes and signs the agreement, I may not have time to treat her." Zhu Yanyi smiled, "After all, I am only one person. I do not have the ability to split myself."
If they wanted her to heal someone, they had to follow her schedule. She did not like giving her autonomy to others.
Grandpa Yun pointed at Zhu Yanyi, "You are becoming more bold." This decision was indeed good. At least they had something to say.
Besides, excluding the fact that Zhu Yanyi was Yan Aohan’s person, her medical skills had already reached a level others could not catch up to. If such a person suffered backlash because of a foreign princess’s illness, they could not afford the loss. So Grandpa Yun knew what to do next.
"When did you get engaged to Yan Xiaozi?" Grandpa Yun asked.
Zhu Yanyi smiled and took an invitation out of her backpack, handing it to Grandpa Yun, "I came to deliver the invitation to you. You said you would be my family, so I brought it. It represents our side of the family."
"Of course." Grandpa Yun laughed, taking the invitation and opening it, "The fifteenth day of the third lunar month. This is a good date."
"Most importantly, it falls on a Sunday. Everyone is resting, so we chose this day." Zhu Yanyi answered with a smile, "Alright, that’s all. I’m leaving."
Grandpa Yun waved his hand. Zhu Yanyi did not stay long and left directly.
After Zhu Yanyi left, Grandpa Yun made some phone calls to certain departments. How Country Y would handle it was not her concern.
At that moment, in the embassy of Country Y, Duke Pete’s handsome face showed a few shades of gloom. "You mean that little divine doctor said she must meet the person with the final say, otherwise she will not treat?"
Pete had actually known this news from Naga earlier. He originally thought that by pressuring the upper levels of China, this meeting could be canceled.
The one who came was Chen Wei, an elite from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He learned from Grandpa Yun that this treatment might harm the little divine doctor.
She was very unhappy with Country Y’s request for the little divine doctor to treat, so she naturally favored her side. "Yes, Your Excellency. Please set the time soon. Because the little divine doctor will enter new experimental research in a few days. Once she enters, no one knows when she will come out."
China would not refuse international friends seeking medical help, but the time had to follow the little divine doctor’s schedule. They would not look down on anyone just because they were from a certain country.
Duke Pete thought for a moment, "I will think about it. I will give you an answer tomorrow."
"Very well. Then rest early, Your Excellency. I take my leave." Chen Wei smiled politely and left.
As soon as Chen Wei left, Duke Pete frowned. she thought for a moment, took out her phone, and started dialing. As soon as the call connected, she said, "The little divine doctor requires meeting the person with the final say, otherwise she will not treat Elissa. Sir, let’s bring Elissa back to the country."
The man on the other end laughed, "It does not matter. Since that is the case, you go meet her. To be honest, I advised you that except for the little divine doctor, no one can cure your fiancée’s illness."
"But Sir, you also said my fiancée is clearly cursed," Pete said.
The man replied, "Yes, she is cursed. I cannot break this curse, so you must figure this out yourself." He hung up, then seemed to remember something, and dialed another number. "Silver Fox, I heard you are getting close to the little divine doctor."
"It’s not really getting close. I just want to understand her better. What, did the little divine doctor surprise you?" Silver Fox’s lips curled into a faint smile.
The man laughed, "Indeed, it is a surprise. If she can really break the sleeping curse, it will be the hope for all of us in the Wu family, and she will become the master of our Wu family. Silver Fox, do you like this result?"
Silver Fox raised an eyebrow slightly, "Wu Han, I hope you get what you want. But according to my understanding of her, it will not be easy for her to accept your Wu family."
Wu Han’s fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, "Silver Fox, are you worried that you will eventually become her enemy?"
"There is no such thing," Silver Fox denied directly, "I will eventually get the result I want." Only he knew what that result was.
"Silver Fox, what kind of result do you want?" Wu Han was truly curious about Silver Fox. Since knowing him, he had never known what Silver Fox wanted, nor what his final goal was. Silver Fox was truly very mysterious to him.
"Wu Han, if you can follow her, it will be a very good opportunity for your Wu family. But, she is not someone who trusts people easily, so you must work hard." Silver Fox smiled, but his eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
After hanging up, Silver Fox took out a photo, looked at it for a while, then walked to the window. The weather outside was gloomy, just like his mood. He did not know when the clouds would disperse and the light would shine.
In the end, Duke Pete still contacted Zhu Yanyi, arranging to meet on Thursday morning.
After receiving Duke Pete’s reply, Zhu Yanyi said to Yan Aohan, "I feel like this Duke Pete has some thoughts. Otherwise, he would not have refused to meet me at first, and now he wants to meet me."
"Whether it is good or bad, you meet him first. After meeting, you will know what he wants to do. No matter what his intentions are, you do not need to worry. Just go ahead boldly. Even if the sky falls, I will hold it up for you."
