Chapter 1397
Wu Han smiled faintly. Since she had obtained the result she wanted, she might as well secretly support Zhu Yanyi.
Pete Tool frowned slightly. "Sir, do I have to sign that agreement?"
"Whether you sign it is up to you, not the Little Divine Doctor. The decision to treat or not lies with the Little Divine Doctor, not with you," Wu Han said directly. Sometimes, he truly looked down on Pete. It was such a simple truth that he had to explain it.
"I can put some pressure on the upper echelons of Huaxia," Pete stated bluntly.
"If it were anything else, Huaxia might yield. But regarding the Little Divine Doctor, Huaxia will absolutely not yield. If you want to try, go ahead. Besides, if Huaxia knew the truth, they would support the Little Divine Doctor. She has no other demands; she only asks for an agreement. This liability waiver is of the same type. It makes no sense for you to reap all the benefits while she bears the hardship and risk."
Wu Han spoke very directly to Pete. "Your Grace, Huaxia is a land of etiquette, but its people are very persistent. In some matters, they may yield, but in others, they will never yield. Especially when it involves the Little Divine Doctor, they will be even less likely to yield."
After speaking, Wu Han hung up the phone. He had gotten the answer he needed. How Pete would act in the end was none of his concern. Whether Elise was cured or not no longer mattered to him.
Pete fell silent. He needed to think carefully.
Zhu Yanyi didn’t care about these things. Over the past few days, the seven patients who had fallen ill due to toxic herbs had been discharged one by one. The train conductor from the incident had also been discharged. The pressure on Zhu Yanyi’s patients had decreased significantly. Now, only Shangguan Jiacheng remained. Thus, Zhu Yanyi resumed her outpatient clinic.
Gu Jingtian was very happy about this. Although Yan Aohan was reluctant to see Zhu Yanyi so tired, he ultimately said nothing.
Days passed slowly and steadily until the day of Zhu Yanli and Taishu Yuanxiang’s wedding banquet in the capital.
On the Zhu family side, only the Cheng family and Mr. Ye attended. Zhu Yanyi had not invited the elders. The elders were not familiar with Zhu Yanli, and most importantly, she did not want anyone to discover the relationship between Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Yanli’s family.
Upon arriving, Zhu Yanyi went directly into the private room. Since Taishu Yuanxiang’s side was hosting the banquet, she naturally handled the outside affairs. Zhu Yanyi, Yan Aohan, and the Zhu family members stayed in the private room. When the time came, Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian would step out briefly.
Cheng Xu looked at Zhu Yanyi and said, "Ani, your fame is growing bigger and bigger. I don’t dare tell people that my sister is the Little Divine Doctor, for fear of being surrounded."
Zhu Yanyi picked up a piece of cut sugarcane from the table and took a bite. "It’s not my fault. How could I know my fame would become so great?"
"Mostly because of your challenge to the Chen and Bai families. By the way," Cheng Xu seemed to remember something. "I heard the Shangguan family has proposed to cut off all business ties with the Chen family. They are willing to take a loss just to withdraw. What’s going on?"
Others might withdraw because they feared Zhu Yanyi. The Shangguan family’s influence was not inferior to the Chen family’s. Their withdrawal seemed strange.
"The only heir of the Shangguan family is currently my patient. I am treating her," Zhu Yanyi explained simply. Then she looked at Zhu Zhibin. "Doumiao, how did you get along with her last Sunday?"
"He’s quite smart. He likes physics, and I like math, but we talked very well. We agreed that in a few days, when he can walk, we will go out to buy things together," Zhu Zhibin said. Although he had friends in the special juvenile class, they were just classmates, and he didn’t have many close ones. Now that he had made a true friend in Shangguan Jiacheng, he was very happy.
"It seems you two are getting along well," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
Zhu Zhibin nodded. "Yes, it’s good. Most importantly, Shangguan Jiacheng and I have common topics. Nowadays, it’s rare for children to have peers with shared interests." He shook his head, expressing regret.
"Hehe," Zhu Yanyi glanced at Zhu Zhibin. "You should say that to Xiao Nan and Xiao Xi."
For Zhu Yanli’s wedding banquet, the Yan family also received an invitation. It was sent by Taishu Yuanxiang’s side. The Yan family indeed sent representatives: Yan Huajun and his wife, along with the twins.
Originally, Old Master Yan and the Madam wanted to come, but Yan Aohan persuaded them against it. Their presence would expose the Zhu family’s existence, so they could only send representatives.
Although Yan Xinnan and Yan Xixi were only one year younger than Zhu Zhibin, they had normal intelligence, unlike Zhu Zhibin’s high IQ. However, one could not deny their admiration for Zhu Zhibin. At this moment, they were looking at Zhu Zhibin with eyes full of worship.
"Xiao Nan, Xiao Xi, why are you worshipping her?" Zhu Yanyi teased the two.
"Little Aunt, please don’t say that. Uncle Zhu is very powerful. He brings glory to the country. His math is especially good. I want to learn from him in the future," Yan Xixi said with a very serious face.
"Uncle Zhu?" Zhu Yanyi laughed speechlessly. "Doumiao, you seem to have suddenly become an elder."
Zhu Zhibin rolled his eyes. "Isn’t this all because of you, Second Sister? If you weren’t good with Second Brother-in-law, I wouldn’t be an uncle." He added with a sigh, "Being an elder is not easy either."
"Doumiao, it seems you don’t want to shoot guns anymore," Yan Aohan said. He was good at hitting the weak spot. As soon as he said this, Zhu Zhibin immediately smiled ingratiatingly at Yan Aohan. "Second Brother-in-law, I was just joking. I absolutely do not oppose you and my Second Sister."
To show he was truly joking, he even added, "Look at my sister. Except for you, no one else wants her. You’ve solved a big problem for our old Zhu family."
"What nonsense are you talking?" Before Zhu Yanyi could speak, Zhu Shun Yao got angry. "How can you speak about your sister like that? What is wrong with your sister? If she were to marry, a long line of suitors would follow her."
Yan Huajun and Dora were seeing Zhu Shun Yao for the first time. Seeing how he interacted with his son, they were stunned. Was this father-son interaction? It felt more like interaction between peers.
"Dad, we agreed not to hit the head. What will you do if your smart and clever son becomes stupid?" Zhu Zhibin pleaded while resisting unhappily.
