Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 196 - 195: Wasn’t That a Slap in the Face Too Fast?
Li Tingxuan knew that even if he came now, he couldn’t stay long.
Otherwise, he’d be discovered by Grandpa.
If Grandpa investigates...
Li Tingxuan is well aware of Grandpa’s capabilities.
He’s afraid that if Grandpa finds out about Gu Jia Ning, it would not bode well for her.
Li Tingxuan doesn’t want to bring unnecessary trouble to Gu Jia Ning, so even though he wanted to stay longer, he left after half an hour.
Gu Jia Ning knew that Li Tingxuan had left.
From the stage, she could always get an unobstructed view of the situation below. Although there were many people, tall and handsome individuals always caught attention more quickly.
As Gu Jia Ning was speaking on stage, a casual glance allowed her to notice Li Tingxuan in the corner.
But it was just a glance, and Gu Jia Ning quickly withdrew her gaze. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Though she had met Li Tingxuan before, Gu Jia Ning considered them not very familiar, and why he came today was unknown to her; naturally, she didn’t dwell on it.
She focused on the lecture at hand.
When she looked up again at a certain time, Li Tingxuan’s spot was occupied by someone else.
However, Gu Jia Ning didn’t pay it much mind.
The lecture lasted for three hours, with the last half-hour dedicated to questions from the audience, which Gu Jia Ning answered on stage.
Some of those who asked questions were one or two generations older than Gu Jia Ning, their hair gray.
Yet, no one minded.
After all, expertise comes first.
As long as one is capable, age doesn’t matter, anyone can stand on that stage.
Finally, the lecture concluded with enthusiastic applause from the audience, though... everyone was somewhat reluctant to leave.
They still wished to discuss medical matters with Gu Jia Ning further.
But knowing she had just spoken for three hours, especially while heavily pregnant, she must be very tired.
So, even those with an agenda did not bother her after the lecture, seeing the fatigue between her brows.
Meanwhile, Gu Jia Ning was tidying up her teaching materials, planning to find Grandma Sang.
Suddenly, someone approached.
"Hello, Doctor Gu."
Gu Jia Ning looked up to see a middle-aged beautiful woman smiling enthusiastically at her.
Gu Jia Ning didn’t recognize the person in front of her. "Hello, who are you?"
"Hello, Doctor Gu. My surname is Fang. I have a patient here and would like to ask you to take a look."
So there was a patient.
However, Gu Jia Ning didn’t readily agree.
Instead, she asked, "What kind of patient? Where? What are the symptoms?"
Now in the hall, under many eyes, Fang Wanrong naturally couldn’t reveal Sheng Xinhao’s condition, so she said, "Doctor Gu, it’s really inconvenient here. How about you come home with me?"
She then whispered, "The patient is my husband."
Gu Jia Ning naturally wouldn’t rashly go home with a stranger, so she said, "You see, I just finished this lecture today, I’m a bit tired. How about leaving the address, name, and contact information and we’ll get in touch another day?"
After three hours, even with good health, Gu Jia Ning was a bit tired, especially while pregnant.
Both physically and mentally, she was quite exhausted.
So, she planned to go home and rest.
As long as it’s not an urgent patient, they could wait.
Upon hearing Gu Jia Ning’s somewhat dismissive words, Fang Wanrong frowned.
What was with this female doctor? She, as a dignified military official’s wife, had stood and waited so long just to promptly invite her home to treat Old Sheng.
Yet, she didn’t want to come.
This made Fang Wanrong quite displeased.
Seeing fewer people around, Fang Wanrong thought it was time to reveal her identity.
She stepped forward with a lowered voice and slightly raised chin, "I suppose Doctor Gu doesn’t know who I am."
Gu Jia Ning: ? Do I need to know who you are?
The attitude, the tone, does this person have some problem?
Under Gu Jia Ning’s gaze, Fang Wanrong said, "My husband’s surname is Sheng. I suppose Doctor Gu knows, in Beijing, which family with the surname Sheng holds the highest status?"
Hmm?
Gu Jia Ning blinked her eyes?
Surname Sheng, high status?
She actually did know.
"Could it be Mr. Sheng’s family?" Gu Jia Ning asked.
Seeing Gu Jia Ning guess correctly, Fang Wanrong nodded in satisfaction.
Then she thought to herself: Since she’s guessed it, she should now be willing to go with her, right?
After all, such an opportunity for a small-time doctor to connect with a family of officials doesn’t come often.
Although Gu Jia Ning gave a lecture, in Fang Wanrong’s eyes, she was just a small doctor.
No comparison to their Old Sheng’s status and position.
When she assumed that this Doctor Gu would immediately pack up and follow her to the Sheng household, the doctor’s expression towards her was rather peculiar.
Then she heard Doctor Gu say, "Madam, did Mr. Sheng send you personally to invite me?"
Gu Jia Ning scrutinized the elegant woman in front of her.
If her guess was correct, this was Brother Xi’s snake-hearted stepmother.
And she was inviting her to treat Sheng Xinhao?
Although Fang Wanrong didn’t know why Gu Jia Ning asked this way, she still nodded, "Of course."
You should feel honored to receive an invitation from an official, and for his wife to personally request it.
Fang Wanrong felt that this was already giving a lot of face.
If it weren’t to show off feelings for Sheng Xinhao and gain his sympathy.
Fang Wanrong had planned to let a guard invite her while she sat in the car.
After all, she felt no one would remain unmoved upon hearing an invitation from an official’s family.
"So, the person needing treatment is also your husband, Mr. Sheng?" Gu Jia Ning asked again.
"Yes." Fang Wanrong grew a bit impatient with Gu Jia Ning’s questions.
"Doctor Gu, are you done with your questions? Let’s hurry up and go."
Unexpectedly, Gu Jia Ning just smiled, a smile with little warmth. "I’m sorry, Madam Sheng, I cannot go with you."
"Why?!" Fang Wanrong was surprised, her eyes wide open.
"I think you might want to ask Mr. Sheng." After all, this morning, the gentleman swore with certainty that even if he were to die, he would never seek her out.
This morning, after making fierce statements, he then sends his wife to request her?
This...
Gu Jia Ning almost laughed. Wasn’t this a bit too quick for a slap in the face?
Just as Fang Wanrong was puzzling and planning to ask Gu Jia Ning further, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Fang Wanrong, what are you doing here?"
"Why are you looking for Ningning?"
Fang Wanrong was surprised at first; who had such audacity to call her by name?
However, that voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Fang Wanrong turned around and saw someone approaching her.
When she laid eyes on the person, Fang Wanrong was momentarily stunned, her expression turning sour.
The person wasn’t anyone else; it was Grandma Sang.
Of course, Fang Wanrong knew Grandma Sang; wasn’t she Old Sheng’s ex-wife, Sang Yuwan’s mother?
