I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 433: Chapter 432: Wei Family

Dong Fengzhen brought her fifth son, Tian Qingyao, and called upon her eldest son, Tian Qinghui, to go out and greet them. After all, she was a woman and worried that the Wei Family might be displeased, thinking the Tian Family had lost manners.

Wei Yuanqing was an elderly man with white hair and beard, looking somewhat like a sage with a touch of ethereal charm. He wore a gray Zhongshan suit, with neatly combed hair, beard under his nose and chin, and even his eyebrows were snow-white.

Behind him, was a very handsome young man, almost resembling a doll, and another who emanated an aura of coldness, giving off a feeling of warning to strangers.

Dong Fengzhen, along with her two sons, stepped out to greet them. Wei Yuanqing was very courteous, not showing any sign of displeasure, and the two disciples behind him followed suit, even the icy one greeted with great politeness.

Dong Fengzhen instantly gained a favorable impression of the Wei Family; they were all Mystic Doctors, yet the Wei Family seemed much more amiable.

However, she quickly learned why the Wei Family appeared so approachable.

Dong Fengzhen led the three from the Wei Family straight to the inner courtyard. Luo Xuhua stood in the corridor, watching these people come and go, a glint of intrigue in his eyes.

He had seen that icy-looking person before, at a big boss’s place, and to be called a big boss, one must have significant backing.

This big boss was highly courteous to the icy young man. This person’s identity and origins were quite mysterious; Luo Xuhua had attempted several times to probe but couldn’t figure out who he was, and sending people to investigate only met with various obstacles.

He later realized that these obstacles were no coincidence.

Why would such a person appear at the Wei Family?

Dong Fengzhen led Wei Yuanqing and the three into the inner courtyard, into the hall, and glanced at the family patriarch.

Tian Heming stood up to welcome the three from the Wei Family, uttering courteous pleasantries, but he had his own suspicions.

Although the Tian Family was a government-recruited clan, perceived as having supreme honor by outsiders, it amounted to little in the eyes of these Mystic Doctors. Today, a Left-wing member, Tao Hailin, arrived, which greatly pleased Tian Heming, despite this man’s arrogance.

Then, a Right-wing Wei Family member arrived, all prominent figures, causing further suspicion in his heart.

Tian Heming naturally knew their intentions, but never expected Beisitian’s status would be so high in these people’s hearts.

After exchanging pleasantries with Tian Heming, Wei Yuanqing, without looking at Tao Hailin seated at the head, went directly to Beisitian’s side, smiling as he said, ”I’ve long heard of Doctor Bei’s name, and today I finally had the honor of meeting him. Your reputation is certainly well-deserved!”

Wei Yuanqing did not elevate his stance significantly. Even though he was currently the head of the Right-wing, he could not achieve what Spiritual Pointing Talisman could. In this field, it was those who were capable that governed, and despite Beisitian being only twenty, he never thought to consider himself a senior.

Because Wei Yuanqing spoke with courtesy and humility, Beisitian gained a favorable impression, stealing a glance at Wei Zhongxun, winking at her, and said with a smile, ”Mr. Wei, you flatter me.”

Seeing Beisitian’s expression, Wei Yuanqing knew that their initial impression was good. Only then did he sweep a glance at Tao Hailin, sitting at the head, somewhat suspicious and uncertain, realizing that despite arriving early, it meant little as they had seized the advantage, and he was bound to fall behind while maintaining that overly serious demeanor.

Tao Hailin had dealt with Wei Yuanqing for dozens of years, being well aware of each other’s nature outside extremely important public occasions. They barely bothered with formalities, clearly knowing such insincerities were useless, as the rift between Left and Right-wing had reached a visible stage—putting on face now only showed their hypocrisy.

Therefore, Tao Hailin understood Wei Yuanqing’s character; this man was even more prideful than him, indifferent to ordinary people. Within the Wei Family, he might only be warm and pleasant to these two heirs!

Even with his own sons, he seldom smiled, yet now, he was smiling at this young person with his old face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum. How could Tao Hailin not be astonished?

This old thing clearly knew about Beisitian, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been grinning like that, which was nauseating!

The previous interaction made Tao Hailin somewhat unable to lower himself. He picked up his tea, took a light sip, and bowed his head, thinking about the possible reasoning.

Seeing everyone standing, Tian Heming quickly said, ”Mr. Wei and the two esteemed disciples, please be seated!”

Wei Yuanqing smiled and, not due to Tian Heming’s invitation, did not take the head seat. Instead, he turned to Beisitian and said, ”Doctor Bei should be the one sitting at the head!”

Wei Yuanqing’s attitude was humble, neither servile nor arrogant, embodying the competent who occupied their place, yet skillfully winning Beisitian’s favor.

By age, Beisitian was not yet qualified to sit at the head with these people, but her qualifications surpassed them by far. She was not one for excessive humility, and upon hearing this, she smiled and approached Tian Heming.

”Grandfather, please have the seat.”

Beisitian’s actions left Tian Heming stunned, surrounding people showing unexpected expressions, yet feeling her actions were actually to be expected.

The Wei Family glanced at Tian Heming, reconciling their sentiments towards the Wei Family.

Tian Heming’s expression softened, feeling gratified and comforted as these people valued Beisitian highly, while she respected him in front of them, immensely pleasing his old heart!

Dong Fengzhen smiled warmly, ”This child is just like her Mei Jun, lovable and doted upon!”

Tian Qinghui and Tian Qingyao shared a glance, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes, along with unspeakable complexity.

Tian Heming knew it was inappropriate to refuse now, as doing so would embarrass Beisitian. Thus, with a smile, he sat down at another side of the table, beside Tao Hailin.

Beisitian sat immediately below Tian Heming, while Wei Yuanqing sat opposite, establishing themselves as equals, with others arranged accordingly.

Tian Zhi and Su Lan were not qualified to sit, with Su Lan trying hard to minimize her presence, her heart pounding, feeling she would discover something today.

Tian Zhi went over to Wei Zhongxun, softly calling out, ”Brother Xun.”

Wei Zhongxun turned to him, smiling and nodding, sharing a kindred spirit forged through hardship.

Beside Wei Zhongxun, the icy young man glanced at Tian Zhi, then turned to look at Beisitian.

Tao Hailin stared deeply at Wei Yuanqing—the old stubborn man who never conceded to him, now willingly sat beneath him—all because of that young person!

Tao Hailin suddenly felt restless, knowing Wei Yuanqing would never do anything unnecessary. His presence here already indicated an issue, let alone willingly humbling himself further. Who was this young person?

What more was there that he didn’t know!

”It was only today through Zhongxun that I learned Doctor Bei arrived yesterday. Doctor Bei, why didn’t you inform us earlier, so we could arrange someone to welcome you?” Wei Yuanqing said with a smile.

While saying this, Wei Yuanqing actually knew much earlier, but intended to visit after Beisitian settled down. Unexpectedly, he heard news of Tao Hailin visiting, thus he hurriedly rushed to the Tian Family.
