Si Mingjing wrote down the prescription and handed it to Elder Song. Elder Song will probably be furious enough to cough up blood when he sees this, she thought.
Sure enough, after Elder Song finished looking it over, he slammed his palm hard on the tea table. "You prescribed this for Mo Yinhe? Are you trying to save our Song Family, or ruin us?"
Seeing his grandfather’s expression change drastically, Song Tengfei asked with furrowed brows, "Grandfather, what’s wrong with this prescription?"
Elder Song said, "This prescription is too potent! Ordinary people simply cannot withstand it. Your daughter has only a superficial grasp of medicine, yet she dares to prescribe such things! Compared to Pianlan, she’s leagues behind!"
Upon hearing her grandfather’s assessment, Song Pianlan’s expression finally eased a little.
Nonsense! How could a woman from Prison Star compare to me, a top student from a medical college?
Besides, I’ve learned traditional Chinese medicine from Grandfather since I was young, and now I’m proficient in both. I’m the most outstanding talent in integrating Chinese and Western medicine. Who does Si Mingjing think she is, anyway?
Fearing that the entire Song Family would be implicated by Si Mingjing, Elder Song said sternly, "Stop using this prescription immediately! I’ll write one for you. You treat Mo Yinhe with the prescription I give you."
However, Si Mingjing maintained a nonchalant attitude. "How will you know if we don’t try? Back on Prison Star, everyone praised my medical skills. Why, in your eyes, am I so inferior?"
Si Mingjing deliberately put on a defiant expression. "In any case, I believe in my own prescription. I should be going; I promised Ye Nianbai I’d pick him up after school."
With that, Si Mingjing decisively walked away.
Elder Song was livid. He immediately called the Ye Family, trying to stop Mo Yinhe from taking the prescription Si Mingjing had provided.
Unfortunately, his calls were rejected.
Elder Song tried to call again but was persuaded to stop by Song Pianlan.
"Grandfather, I’ve seen the prescription Si Mingjing provided. If Mo Yinhe takes it for three consecutive days, he will undoubtedly become critically ill. Why don’t we wait until he has taken it for three days and is beyond recovery, and then we intervene?
Just think, at that point, we would be the lifesavers who pulled Mo Yinhe back from Ghost Gate Pass! He’ll be too grateful to us to even think of blaming us for threatening him. That’s the true way to atone for our actions."
Hearing his granddaughter’s words, Elder Song hesitated slightly.
Song Tengfei, filled with rage, exclaimed, "Have you lost your mind? Do you know who Mo Yinhe is? If anything happens to him in the next couple of days, can our Song Family bear that responsibility?"
Song Pianlan, however, retorted, "Brother, the one who can’t afford it is Si Mingjing—the one who came back to fight you for the family fortune—not the Song Family! Besides, if we go and try to stop it now, would Mo Yinhe’s gratitude towards us truly outweigh his anger?
"It will be different in three days. By then, Mo Yinhe will be at death’s door, at Ghost Gate Pass. When I intervene, I’ll become his lifesaver. The Ye Family might vent their anger on Si Mingjing, but they certainly won’t blame the Song Family. Don’t forget, even though Si Mingjing is your daughter, she also owns half the shares of Song Group. Are you willing to give her those shares?"
Of course, I’m not! Song Tengfei thought.
Song Tengfei calmed down.
If I could resolve this issue with this unwanted daughter and keep all the shares of Song Group without any bloodshed...
He wouldn’t even blink.
Daughters are just a bad investment.
I don’t lack daughters; I need a son!
Still, Song Tengfei was not entirely at ease. "Are you sure you can manage this without Mo Yinhe actually coming to harm?"
Song Pianlan was full of confidence. "He is the man I most want to marry. Do you think I would let anything happen to him?"
Song Pianlan was already envisioning the scene three days from now: she, like a goddess, would pull Mo Yinhe back from Ghost Gate Pass, shining with dazzling glory.
The true protagonist should always make a grand entrance for the finale!
At this thought, Song Pianlan almost laughed out loud.
