This statement left Li Se speechless, causing him to cough incessantly.
Huang Shanshan's expression soured, and she sneered, "Did you hear that? She wants you to give her acupuncture!"
If it were a normal patient-doctor relationship, she wouldn't have believed it.
"Yes, I want him to give me acupuncture," Mo Hai'er said expectantly.
Li Se reprimanded, "Mo Hai'er, I'm treating your illness, not doing anything else. If you don't want to recover, just leave!"
Upon being chided, Mo Hai'er quieted down considerably, her gaze towards Li Se changing.
The subsequent treatment went smoothly, with all the previously discussed methods administered. Finally, he wrote a prescription and told Mo Hai'er, "One dose a day. I'll see you again in a month for a follow-up!"
"Alright, thank you!" Mo Hai'er nodded. After being treated by Li Se, she felt much better. It seemed the breast cancer was truly being cured. His medical skills were indeed remarkable.
"Is it really cured?" Wen Heqia asked upon seeing everyone emerge.
"Are you Imperial Physician Wen?" Mo Hai'er finally recognized Wen Heqia.
"I am," Wen Heqia nodded. "Is the breast cancer truly cured?"
"Elder Wen, you can examine her," Li Se said with a smile.
Wen Heqia immediately took Mo Hai'er's pulse and asked several questions, then fell into thought. After a while, he said, "It should be more than half cured. With one more follow-up, it can be completely healed!"
"As expected of Elder Wen!" Li Se exclaimed with a smile.
Wen Heqia sighed, "Truly, the new generation surpasses the old. With young people like you in Chinese medicine, there's no doubt it will prosper!"
The treatment took up most of the afternoon. Li Se, along with Huang Shanshan and Mo Hai'er, drove away from the clinic and soon met up with Zhang Aimin.
"How was the treatment?" Zhang Aimin asked.
"Mm, it was great," Mo Hai'er's response was easily open to misinterpretation.
"Can't you be more proper?" Zhang Aimin said exasperatedly.
"By the way, are you two his women?" Mo Hai'er couldn't help but ask, having been curious about this earlier.
"We're not the only women of his," Zhang Aimin huffed.
Upon hearing this, Mo Hai'er's eyes lit up. She nudged Li Se's arm and said, "Do you mind if you add one more? I'm quite capable in that area."
Li Se pretended not to hear. He wasn't an animal driven by base desires; he couldn't just take every beautiful woman he met. His principle was based on emotion. Undeniably, Mo Hai'er was very beautiful, and most importantly, seductive. But the problem was, there was no emotional foundation. To put it bluntly, he didn't like Mo Hai'er at all. Although some of her actions were indeed tempting, they were more of an instinctual nature.
"Mo Hai'er!"
As they arrived at a high-class Western restaurant, a male voice called out.
A man dressed in a suit, appearing somewhat refined, walked towards them. Upon seeing Zhang Aimin and Huang Shanshan, his eyes were momentarily struck by their beauty, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Hai'er, I didn't expect to meet you here," the man said with a smile.
"Heh!" Mo Hai'er merely sneered, saying nothing.
"Let's have dinner together. We haven't eaten together in a long time," the man maintained his smile.
"No need, Tang Quan. You and I are not on the same path!" Mo Hai'er said coldly.
"Oh, I wonder who this is. Someone dares to be so insolent to Brother Tang? It turns out to be Mo Hai'er." Another female voice rang out. A strikingly alluring and beautiful woman walked over.
Of course, compared to Huang Shanshan and Zhang Aimin, she was still somewhat inferior.
The woman walked up to Tang Quan and affectionately linked her arm with his, smiling as she said, "Mo Hai'er, what's wrong? Are you still unable to let go after being abandoned? That's right, you were supposed to marry into the Tang family, which is equivalent to marrying into wealth, but you were abandoned instead. Your dream of marrying into a wealthy family was shattered."
Mo Hai'er's expression turned grim.
"Is marrying into wealth that great? Only a cheap tramp like you would think of marrying into wealth. Go ask the person beside you if he will marry you. Considering your status, you're probably just a stray cat from outside, and you want to marry into a wealthy family? Don't you know that families like the Tangs place great importance on the background of the bride?" Zhang Aimin said indifferently, of course wanting to stand up for her best friend.
The woman's face changed upon hearing this, and she looked at Zhang Aimin with malice, shouting, "Who are you calling a cheap tramp?"
"Isn't it you?" Zhang Aimin retorted sarcastically.
The woman, furious, quickly looked at Tang Quan with feigned distress, "Brother Tang, quickly tell them, you will marry me, right?"
Tang Quan frowned but still managed a smile. "Mimi, they're trying to sow discord. Why bother paying attention to their words?"
"Yes, you are sowing discord!" Mimi sneered.
Li Se couldn't help but interject, "This Tang Quan could abandon Mo Hai'er, why couldn't he abandon you?"
Mimi's expression changed upon hearing this.
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?" Tang Quan rebuked angrily.
He didn't mind a beauty like Zhang Aimin interjecting a few words, as he still harbored hopes of pursuing her. But for this kid to butt in, wasn't that slapping his face?
"Are you that amazing? You won't even let people speak?" Li Se said dismissively.
"Do you know who Brother Tang is? Have you heard of the Tang family in the capital?" Mimi said contemptuously.
Tang Quan arrogantly adjusted his clothes and said indifferently, "Get lost. Don't appear before me again, and I can pretend I didn't hear what you just said."
"I'll give you a chance. Hurry up and get lost, get out of my sight, and I might just pretend nothing happened," Li Se shot back.
His words made Tang Quan feel utterly incredulous. In this day and age, someone actually dared to confront him directly?
There were quite a few people in this high-class restaurant, and upon hearing Tang Quan's name, they were all astonished. He was a scion of one of the capital's top aristocratic families. They couldn't believe someone dared to disregard Tang Quan.
"Such arrogance. You don't even take Young Master Tang seriously?"
"Heh, likely a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, completely unaware of what the Tang family represents."
"After offending Young Master Tang, you won't even know how you died."
"Indeed. Young people nowadays have no idea who they're speaking to!"
