I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 326: Chapter 325: Picked Up a Dog

The family members’ choir was originally a trap set by Li Ying. However, seeing Li Ying’s downfall, the few family members who had been bribed were now too panicked to report Beisitian for lip-syncing.

Beisitian thus got away with it.

The headline singer was originally Li Ying, but now she couldn’t possibly be allowed on stage. Naturally, the opportunity fell back to Chai Xiaohu.

Chai Xiaohu could hardly believe what was happening before her. Beisitian actually got rid of Li Ying?

Not only did she get rid of Li Ying, but the opportunity to sing lead was returned to her!

The party ended with Chai Xiaohu’s sweet and powerful singing. After the senior officials left the stage, the leaders followed, and then each unit began to orderly move their stools out of the hall.

After the party, Beisitian didn’t return to the dormitory but instead went with Luo Xudong and Wu Yuekai to his small courtyard.

Also accompanying them were Tian Heming, Song Fanggang, Zhao Zhongqi, and Sun Guicai. As for Tian Qiu and Tian Lei, they each went their separate ways.

Sun Guicai hadn’t committed a major offense, so Wu Yuekai didn’t feel right to directly send him away, just let him follow along to understand better.

Sun Guicai followed behind, looking grim. Li Ying’s future was predictable; her artistic career was over, and expulsion from the party seemed inevitable!

Once expelled from the party, the kid wouldn’t even be able to find a decent job after leaving the army. It seemed he would have to plea with Wu Yuekai; if he could plead with that Tian fellow, there might still be a chance.

He glanced at Beisitian walking behind. He had underestimated this girl; she seemed to have some background.

After entering the house, Wu Yuekai invited Tian Heming and Song Fanggang to sit down while Li Xuejun busied himself with serving tea.

Only when the tea was served did everyone notice that Wu Yuekai’s cup contained only clear water.

Wu Yuekai took a deep breath, realizing that Li Xuejun was thorough in carrying out what Beisitian had instructed!

Wu Yuekai’s eyes glowed as he glanced at Li Xuejun, who hurriedly averted his eyes, pretending not to notice as he quickly exited with the teapot.

”Old man, where’s my calligraphy?” Beisitian asked Wu Yuekai, extending her scallion-like fingers.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhongqi immediately perked up. He had shamelessly tagged along just for that piece of calligraphy!

Wu Yuekai smacked his lips, ”This water’s not bad!”

The crowd: ”...”

Seeing that Beisitian was still holding out her hand, undeterred, Wu Yuekai’s old face wrinkled up, ”Girl, you can’t ask for something back once it’s been given!”

Beisitian pursed her lips, ”When did I say...”

Before she could finish, Wu Yuekai pointed to Tian Heming and said, ”Your grandfather’s here. Shouldn’t you go greet him!”

Beisitian knew he was trying to divert attention, but she couldn’t help but look over. Today, it was this old gentleman who had helped her out.

Tian Heming was also observing Beisitian. Previously too far away, he hadn’t looked closely, but now he saw she resembled his late youngest daughter!

”Xiaojun...” Tian Heming involuntarily exclaimed while looking at Beisitian.

Beisitian’s mother was named Tian Meijun, and Xiaojun was probably her nickname.

Seeing Tian Heming somewhat lost in his emotions, Wu Yuekai knew these feelings were hard to control, but in front of people like Sun Guicai and Zhao Zhongqi, it would be best not to be too expressive. So he said to Beisitian, ”Girl, greet your grandfather!”

Beisitian readily called out, ”Granddad!”

Grand... Granddad!

Song Fanggang and Zhao Zhongqi couldn’t help but laugh; this term was so down-to-earth and affectionate.

Luo Xudong also smiled, gently ruffling her hair.

Hearing the call of ’Granddad,’ Tian Heming beamed with joy and quickly responded, only to find he hadn’t brought anything with him, not even a token gift, leaving him a bit embarrassed.

Wu Yuekai laughed heartily, ”Brother Tian, no need to search. It won’t be too late to give it when the girl goes back.”

Sun Guicai was also becoming increasingly uneasy, realizing that Wu Yuekai must have known Beisitian from the start. Could it be the two children he mentioned were Beisitian and Luo Xudong?

This realization brought a cold sweat to Sun Guicai’s forehead. He had said quite a few bad things about Beisitian. Considering their relationship, not having Wu Yuekai make things difficult would be a good thing!

Sun Guicai’s expression was uncertain, deciding to listen further before making any decisions.

Tian Heming chuckled, ”I didn’t bring a gift this time, but I’ll make it up next time.”

Beisitian smiled slightly, ”Thank you, Granddad!”

Tian Heming was delighted by her repeated calls of ’Granddad,’ his smile never fading. This child was far more pleasant than those troublesome little rascals!

This wasn’t really the place to reminiscence, with many eyes around. Though not confidential, the Tian Family wasn’t keen on sharing too much personal matters, so Tian Heming held back after saying a few words.

The child was found; there would be ample time later.

Tian Heming looked at Luo Xudong. This young man was his grandson-in-law, handsome and well-matched with their granddaughter.

Under Tian Heming’s gaze, Luo Xudong called out ’Granddad,’ causing Tian Heming to smile broadly once more.

Seeing the momentary silence among the crowd, Zhao Zhongqi quickly seized the opportunity and said, ”Miss Bei, was that Flower-Pinning Small楷 written by you?”

”Yes,” Beisitian nodded.

Zhao Zhongqi rubbed his hands together, ”Miss Bei, uh... could I commission a piece of writing from you, name your price!”

Though Zhao Zhongqi was a senior official, he’d led a frugal life and was not wealthy. So in the previous cultural exchange, he couldn’t compete against others.

He had few hobbies, but loved calligraphy and literature. Luckily, his wife was supportive, so he had no worries.

Having seen that Flower-Pinning Small楷 at an exchange, he instantly liked it and regretted not buying it, a regret that lingered.

Zhao Zhongqi was a kind-hearted old man. During physical exams, he had seen her assisting and gave her a piece of peanut candy, expressing his gratitude—his small gesture of appreciation.

”Mr. Zhao, don’t be so polite. I’ll write it and send it over to you,” Beisitian replied with a smile.

”And the price...” Zhao Zhongqi tentatively asked, hoping it wouldn’t be too steep, otherwise even with his wife’s support, it might lead to a quarrel.

The smile at the corners of Beisitian’s mouth deepened, ”It’s just a piece of writing, not as precious as the peanut candy from the elder.”

The peanut candy symbolized the care and affection from the older generation to the younger one.

At her words, Zhao Zhongqi was deeply moved. Such an unassuming gesture leading to a precious piece of calligraphy.

Beisitian wasn’t famous yet, but when she became well-known, that piece would be priceless!

As it was quite late after the party, after a bit of casual chat, Tian Heming and the others began to leave, with Wu Yuekai stopping Song Fanggang and Beisitian’s couple.

”Little Song, the old man has a favor to ask,” Wu Yuekai said.

Hearing the long-missed ’Little Song,’ Song Fanggang was delighted and replied, ”Please, go ahead.”

”I found a stray dog on the road; we really hit it off. However, you know my health isn’t great, and I’m afraid I can’t take care of it. I’d like to leave it here with these two kids to look after it for me.”
