"Grandma..." Zong Zheng’s voice choked up.
How could he tell his grandmother, this cruel reality, that he couldn’t bear to see her frail and add to her sorrow.
At this moment, Bei Ran had already walked in, holding the fruit she had bought on the street earlier.
"Grandma, don’t worry about Zong Zheng, Zong Zheng has always been a good child!" Bei Ran placed the fruit on the table.
The grandmother was happy to see Bei Ran, and said, "Bei Ran, you’re here, coming to see me so late..."
"Sister Bei..." Zong Zheng also turned around to greet her, he was completely dumbfounded when he saw Gu Qingchen at the door!
Of course, he wasn’t afraid of others knowing his family’s poor background; he just never imagined that Gu Qingchen would descend like a Heavenly God into his home.
"Gu... Professor Gu..." Zong Zheng came back to his senses, too surprised to form a complete sentence.
Bei Ran then pulled Gu Qingchen inside, and said to the grandmother and grandson, "Grandma, see? This is Professor Gu, Zong Zheng’s internship mentor, he is the most famous Great Doctor in city A! With Zong Zheng learning medicine under him, you can rest assured! As they say, ’under a great master comes a great student’, Zong Zheng will certainly become the most famous Great Doctor."
Gu Qingchen glanced at Bei Ran; clearly, the all-curing Great Doctor wasn’t there, instead, he was tricked by Bei Ran.
He was a perceptive person; Zong Zheng’s grandmother was old and frail, not knowing what tomorrow may bring.
He surely couldn’t let this grandmother depart so heartbroken!
But was Gu Qingchen so easily manipulated?
Seeing his sharp gaze upon her, Bei Ran hurriedly hugged his arm, signaling him to speak first, not to hurt the old lady’s feelings.
At that moment, Zong Zheng’s desiring gaze also turned towards Gu Qingchen, a look of infinite thirst for knowledge only a dedicated student could have.
Although the grandmother’s eyes were no longer as clear as water, they were deeply moved when looking at the talented Gu Qingchen.
Just then, Bei Ran tiptoed and whispered in Gu Qingchen’s ear, "Think about Fu Ye who left with regrets..."
Whether it’s the thirty-six stratagems or the seventy-two transformations, the top strategy is to attack the heart.
Bei Ran believed that no matter how cold and resolute Gu Qingchen was, being a doctor, deep down in his heart, there was always that softest spot.
Fu Ye did not leave this world with his wishes fulfilled; love is an unchanging theme in life, no matter the age, no matter the status, because of love, everywhere is the most beautiful spring.
Gu Qingchen’s heart trembled slightly; of course, he knew about Fu Ye.
Seeing the hope in the eyes of the two, he said, "I am just a doctor at the hospital, whenever there are interns sent over from the school, I will teach them well, without any reservations."
The grandmother, upon hearing this, was very happy: "Thank you, Professor Gu... Thank you, our Zong Zheng will definitely learn well from Professor Gu... Zong Zheng, after talking for such a while, you haven’t yet brewed tea for Professor Gu, Bei Ran, Professor Gu, please have a seat, our home is very humble, and the sitting space is tight..."
Bei Ran certainly wouldn’t mind; she glanced at Gu Qingchen, who although a doctor, came from a wealthy family, born with a silver spoon.
Despite this, Gu Qingchen would not look down on places where poor people live; in his eyes, a patient is a patient with no distinction of poor or rich.
He was now unhappy inside, mainly because of Bei Ran.
This woman, under the guise of an old traditional doctor, had deceived him; he would see how he’d deal with her after leaving Zong Zheng’s house!
Zong Zheng already quickly brewed tea for Gu Qingchen, "Professor Gu, please have some tea!"
However, Gu Qingchen glanced at it and refused!
Zong Zheng, not understanding, looked towards Bei Ran with a flushed face.
Bei Ran was prepared and said to Zong Zheng, "Zong Zheng, come here, I’ll teach you how to brew tea."
The two went into the kitchen. Bei Ran took out tea leaves from her handbag, royal palace tribute tea, poured it into the cup, then brewed it with water at about 80 degrees Celsius.
"Sister Bei, does Professor Gu really plan to take me in?" Zong Zheng’s eyes shone with eager light.
Bei Ran nodded her head, "He is a man of his word."
"Then I’m relieved!" Zong Zheng jumped up happily, "I really didn’t know how to talk to grandma just now! Thank you, Sister Bei..."
