185 183 Looking for a doctor

Chen Yi didn’t care much and gave a casual reply, “Since he’s just a classmate of yours, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. That’s your father’s job. I don’t really ask much about it.”

“Mum!” Tan Jing bit her lip and pleaded, “Please help me ask dad!”

Chen Yi was still unwilling. There was no benefit to it, so she was too lazy to care about it. “That’s enough. His grandfather is sick now. Their family will naturally think of a way. You don’t have to worry about it. You’re just too kind.”

Tan Jing saw that Chen Yi had rejected her time and time again, and even her coquettishness did not work. That’s when she started to panic.

Ever since she heard that Lu Qing’s grandfather was sick, she has thought of using this to gain Lu Qing’s favor. This was also the way for her to gain attention from the Lu family.

By then, not only would she be able to be with Lu Qing, but the Lu family and the Tan family would also be her supporters. One in the business world, one in the military, and one in the political world. Wouldn’t her position be stable then?

Therefore, Tan Jing had been looking for information for a long time and finally found the famous doctor, Dr. Peter, who was overseas. Usually, no one would be able to invite him, but fortunately, Tan Jing found out that her father, Tan Song, used to have business dealings with the hospital where Dr. Peter was working at. If they could invite him over, wouldn’t that make them look good? She would also be able to curry favors with Lu Qing.

However, Chen Yi wouldn’t go through so much trouble if there were no benefits for her. She was never a kind-hearted woman. Tan Jing also wasn’t that important in her heart, which was why it was useless to plead.

Tan Jing thought hard about it and an idea popped into her mind. “Mom, it’s not a random classmate. Do you know whose grandfather is sick?”

Chen Yi was puzzled. “Who? Are they rich? Why are you so concerned?”

Tan Jing laughed. “It’s not just money. It’s Lu Qing.”

Chen Yi frowned and pondered for a moment, “Lu Qing? This name was a little familiar… The Lu family from the capital? You know their child?”

She was surprised.

Tan Jing saw that there was hope and quickly explained, “He’s in our class and is my classmate. We’re quite close, and he was quite sad when he heard that his grandfather was sick.”

Chen Yi still didn’t believe it. “The Lu family is not ordinary. If the old master is sick, their family must have spent a lot of money to treat him. Do they still need our help to find a doctor?”

Tan Jing smiled slyly. “Mom, you don’t know how stubborn that old master Lu is. He doesn’t want to be treated by any random doctors and is now receiving conservative treatment at the city’s military-affiliated hospital. Also, although Dr. Peter is famous overseas, he rarely comes to our country, and not many people know about him. It’s just a coincidence that our family has a connection with the hospital he’s at.”

Chen Yi was deep in thought but still hesitated. “But, in this case… If we can help them, we would definitely be heavily rewarded, but if we don’t, we will have to bear the responsibility. We don’t have to take risks. The Lu family is not easy to deal with. Soldiers are very stubborn.”

Tan Jing gently leaned against Chen Yi’s side and analyzed it for her slowly, “Mom, I’m doing this for the sake of our family. I did something wrong, but I also want to make up for it. Think about it, how can there be so many good things that can be obtained without taking risks? I’ve done my research, and Dr. Peter has never failed. As long as we can cure old master Lu, we’ll have a connection to the Lu family, and he’ll treat us as his lifesavers!”

Tan Jing peeked at Chen Yi’s expression and was tempted, “By then, dad will also feel that you’ve done a great favor and found a good partner for the Tan family. With the Lu family’s help, his business will definitely be smooth sailing, and that’s all because he has a good wife like you!”

Chen Yi thought for a long time and was still tempted by Tan Jing’s words.

That’s right! If they could really cure the old master of the Lu family, that would be a great help. The Lu family was powerful and ten times better than the Tan family. When the time comes, if there are any difficulties in business and the government cannot approve them, it should be very easy for the Lu family to say a few words and make things convenient for the Tan family.

‘Tan Song will be grateful to me by then and won’t feel that I’m supporting myself in vain.’

Chen Yi smiled and looked at Tan Jing. “No wonder your father took the time to teach you a thing or two before this. I didn’t see it before. Not only are you smart academically, but you also have a talent in this area. You are indeed suitable to take over your father’s business.”

Tan Jing was overjoyed. Did Chen Yi mean to pass the Tan family’s property to her? She was their daughter and would be married off in the future. Tan Jing had never thought about this problem before.

However, she still pretended to be shy and cleverly gave all the credit to Chen Yi. She praised Chen Yi instead. “Mom, I was just making a suggestion. You are the one who made it happen instead. When the time comes, dad will definitely thank you for it.”
