Chapter 464 - 464: That Money Is Yours And I Would Never Give It to Another Woman

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ms. Lin vented all the frustration she had been holding inside as she pointed at him and said, “You’d better not have anything to do with that b*tch. I won’t let you off otherwise!”

Brother Li shook his head helplessly as he watched the woman walk away.

“This person is a woman herself. Why does she look down on her daughter-in-law just because she gave birth to a girl? Even an outsider like me can’t stand it.”

Jiang Jingchen’s expression was calm as he said indifferently, “There are many demons and ghosts in this world who would swallow you if you were weak. But if you became stronger, who would dare to bully you?”

Brother Li looked at him in surprise. “Mr. Jiang, you’re very wise.”

A few minutes later, the operating theater doors opened. A nurse pushed the gurney out. Tang Beibei and the doctors also walked out.

The woman who had just given birth was very weak. Her face was pale but when she saw Jiang Jingchen and Brother Li, she still mustered the strength to thank them.

Seeing that she was safe, Brother Li smiled and congratulated her.

He even said that she was very capable and that her baby would definitely be blessed in the future.

However, Jiang Jingchen looked at her calmly and said, “I paid for your medical expenses.”

The woman was stunned. She looked around and did not see her husband or mother-in-law. She nodded weakly as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

“I’ll pay you back when I recover. Thank you, sir.”

Jiang Jingchen said, “Let me calculate the cost for you. You’ll need three to four thousand yuan to give birth. The baby will need milk powder and other nutrition products, which won’t be a small expense.”

“You just gave birth and would need time to recover. You probably won’t be able to work for the next six months. How are you going to pay me back?”

He didn’t speak fast or loudly but his words were like poisonous needles shot into the woman’s heart. She was so upset that she cried.

“I know. Thank you for the reminder, sir.”

Tang Beibei tugged at her husband’s arm when she heard him say all that. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although 10,000 yuan was a lot of money, this pregnant woman was also quite pitiful. He had already paid for her. Saying those things now would just hurt her.

Tang Beibei admitted that she was stingy, but she also sympathized with pitiful people.

But Jiang Jingchen held her hand, as if he was telling the pregnant woman and reminding Tang Beibei at the same time.

“It’s okay to be weak but accepting defeat as fate isn’t going to help. I must get back the money I spent to foot her bill. That money is yours and I would never give it to another woman.”

“…” Tang Beibei was stunned.

Jiang Jingchen then asked the woman, “Do you want a divorce?”

“Yes. I definitely want a divorce. I will work hard to raise my children.” The woman sobbed.

“Alright then, let’s start your divorce lawsuit. You and your husband will split your assets, and you will get half of the Lin family assets. If you win, you’ll have to pay me a million yuan in legal fees.”

The woman stopped crying and looked at him in surprise.

“Can I win the lawsuit?”

“Will you pay the legal fees or not?” Jiang Jingchen’s voice was calm.

“Yes. If I can win, I’ll definitely pay you!”

Jiang Jingchen then said, “A lawyer will contact you shortly. Just cooperate.”

“Thank you, sir. Sir, how should I address you?”

“No need. We are strangers.”

Tang Beibei felt that his tone was too cold and said hurriedly, “Sister Du, you should take the time to rest and recover. You’ll take better care of your children when you are healthy. It’s getting late. We should go home too.”

The woman’s surname was Du, and her name was Du Huanhuan.

Du Huanhuan did not force them to tell her their names. She let the nurse push her back to the ward to rest.

She was indeed tired.

Tang Beibei turned her head and saw the old lady staring at her with a smile. She greeted her respectfully, “Dr. Liang, it’s my fault for disturbing you so late. Thank you for coming.”

Dr. Liang asked, “You’re Old Chen’s student. What year are you now?”

“Second year.”

“Oh, that’s still early. Why don’t you be my student and let me teach you?” Professor Chen said that he knew an experienced gynecologist. Tang Beibei did not expect it to be the famous Dr. Liang Ying. Just how famous was this doctor? Let’s put it this way. Her medical theories were written into textbooks for a compulsory subject.

She had countless academic achievements. She was just a very, very good doctor and professor.

She was always called the living bodhisattva, a real-life child-giving Guanyin. Tang Beibei scratched her head. “Dr. Liang, I’m a traditional Chinese medicine student.”

Dr. Liang nodded with a smile. “I know. Old Chen teaches traditional Chinese medicine. I learned Chinese medicine when I was young. I only learned Western medicine when I was an adult. I like students who understand Chinese medicine theories and then go on to pick up Western medicine, students who can combine Western and Chinese medicine when they practice.”

Tang Beibei didn’t know what to say.

It was an honor to be invited by Dr. Liang, but a woman couldn’t have two husbands. Since she was already Professor Chen’s mentee, how could she be another teacher’s disciple?

Seeing Tang Beibei’s dilemma, Jiang Jingchen took out his phone and said to Dr. Liang, “Dr. Liang, my wife is still young and not very rational in her decisions. Let me call Professor Chen now and ask him if he agrees. If he agrees, my wife can be your disciple.”

Dr. Liang laughed in exasperation when she saw that he was really making the call and slapped his arm.

“Never mind. If Old Chen finds out that I snatched his favorite student, he’ll definitely be upset with me.”

“But Beibei, you have great potential. You are only in your second year, but you were able to think of solutions in the face of such a complicated case. You even thought to try hypnobirthing.”

“Luckily, the mother was prepped early. Otherwise, the baby wouldn’t be able to come out and suffocate in the mother’s womb. If that happened, even the mother’s life would be in danger.”

Tang Beibei was embarrassed from Dr. Liang’s praise.

“I haven’t done any internship yet. I didn’t know if I was doing the right thing. I was just trying my luck.”

Dr. Liang sighed. “You’re a good doctor. You have good instincts. I also saw you take the patient’s pulse. Did you diagnose her from her pulse?”

Tang Beibei licked her lips, not daring to exaggerate.

“I’m getting better at it. Professor Chen said that I must practice more with different kinds of patients so I can learn more.”

Dr. Liang looked at Tang Beibei with a little regret. “Learn from Old Chen, and learn well.”

“Old Chen always complain to me about how difficult it is to teach students. He wants to pass on the skills of the older generation but there are very few young people nowadays who can stay focused on learning.”

Dr. Liang could not help but lament that students nowadays were different from before. In the past when conditions were more difficult, students were hungrier.

Now that conditions were better, students were mostly half-hearted about their studies. Many of them were just studying to pass exams. They would be all timid and unsure when they needed to treat patients.

Dr. Liang gave Tang Beibei her number and told her that if she changed her mind and wanted to learn from her, she would welcome her any time.

Tang Beibei agreed with a smile. They saw Dr. Liang off before they went for supper with Brother Li.

After a busy night, the three of them were indeed hungry.

Brother Li was a northerner and spoke very directly. Although his voice was very rough and he grew up to be burly, he was a very nice person.

When he heard that Tang Beibei was a medicine student and knew how to take a pulse, he insisted that Tang Beibei gave him a consultation.

Tang Beibei took his pulse and looked at his tongue. She then said with a smile, “Brother Li is in good health. If you want to be even better, drink more water.”

“Your belly is too big, and it puts a lot of pressure on your internal organs. In addition, you drive a lot. Sitting for long periods of time is not good for your lower back.”

Brother Li slapped his thigh with a smile. “You’re right. I don’t like to drink water. I only drink soft drinks and beer. After driving for so many years, a physiotherapist once told me that I have a lumbar strain.”

“Soft drinks also contain water. Isn’t drinking that the same as drinking water?”

Tang Beibei was stunned. She was about to explain the different ingredients in soft drinks versus water when her husband said calmly, “I rarely drink soft drinks. Just compare yourself to me.”

This man Jiang Jingchen called Brother Li was just a year older than him but looked much older.

Brother Li looked at Jiang Jingchen’s strong body, muscular arms, and handsome face. Then he looked at his beer belly and thick arms.

A wave of shame overcame him.

“Okay. I’ll drink more water in the future.”

Tang Beibei covered her mouth and laughed when she heard Jiang Jingchen’s words..
