Chapter 044 Coincidence or Planned
…
From the young female student, Jisoo learned that the old man is now doing fine. Luckily the stab wound was not that fatal. However, the most troubling thing is the heart attack that suddenly happened while the old man was struggling.
But for some unknown reason, the old man's heart attack was averted and he was able to survive.
A week later…
Now it has been a week since that incident and Jisoo has been buying medical herbs from the old man's shop.
Since the shop is now going to be her source of medicinal supply, Jisoo decided to put some beguiling runes on it. She would not want anything to happen to the shop in the future. Plus she did not want the shop to appear weird by putting barriers, so the beguiling rune array is already good enough.
Beguiling rune arrays are easy to install and easy to use. It would only activate when killing intent would be present either from the owner or from the intruder.
Once activated, the Reiki in the rune array would be used and those that are trapped would not be able to do anything but stay in their dream world until Jisoo dispels the effect of the array in their mind.
Today she is going to visit Mrs. Tang at her home for her special treatment.
Inside a luxurious mansion villa, several people are sitting on the sofa in the living room while actively talking to each other.
One of them is Helen Rong who is going to be Jisoo's patient.
"Mom, are you sure about that doctor? I heard that she is still young… I think you should consider a more experienced one." A beautiful and tall petite young woman said with a worried tone.
"Silly girl… She is a good doctor. This week, I have not felt so energized ever since she treated me." Helen said with a smile.
Seeing her mother feeling happy, the young woman did not say anything anymore.
"Mom, this doctor… is unknown to the field. How did Director Pan meet her?" a tall and handsome young man in a casual dark blue shirt asked.
"Well, I think she was helping that old fogey of the Yang. I heard of the story from my secretary after doing some investigation on her background." This time the middle-aged man was the one who replied.
This family of four is the city mayor's family.
Helen Rong, also known as Mrs. Tang, is Peter Tang's wife… and Peter Tang is the current mayor of Vie city.
Their two children are Cendric Tang and Celene Tang. Cendric is someone who delves into the jewelry business and is an owner of a jewelry chain of businesses. Meanwhile, Celene is a top model and also an actress from Vie city. She has started in some roles in advertisements, dramas, and movies. Although her name is not that big in the entertainment industry, she still has her own fandom because of her beauty and charm.
While the family is talking with one another, a maid enters the living room.
"Mayor, madam… a visitor has come… Someone named Doctor Sung is here." The maid said with a respectful tone.
"Ah! She's here! Let her come inside… Let her come inside!" the excited tone of Helen made the three people around her squint.
They knew her to be unenthusiastic especially when it comes to her sickness, but for some reason, she seems to be very happy nowadays. They are now curious about what spell this female doctor has cast on her so that she is able to feel such excitement.
Mayor Tang looked at his over-enthusiastic wife and a happy smile appears on his face.
It has been too long since he saw his wife this happy and it made him feel glad. He now also could not wait to see the doctor that was said to be able to finally cure his wife.
Helen has already stood up and walked towards the entrance while the three people sit with a dumbfounded expressions.
Not long later, they saw her walking back while her hand is around the arm of a young woman.
The young woman has her hair tied up in a ponytail and she is wearing a dark blue blouse and dark blue skinny jeans.
Her clothing looks ordinary, but she exudes an aura of confidence as she walks inside the mansion.
When the three saw her face, they were all stunned.
She is not wearing any makeup but her glossy snow-white skin could make one feel envious of the obvious healthy skin before them.
Her discernable eyes look charming like sparkling diamonds and her cherry lips look alluring beyond compare.
From her face to her body to her height, only one word can describe her… perfect.
Cendric Tang has not seen a more beautiful woman in his entire life…, especially that scent that she exudes as she walks inside the house. It was a scent that made him almost lose his senses as he subconsciously takes a whiff and almost closes his eyes.
Seeing the reaction of her son and her family members, a satisfied smile crept on Helen's face.
When the two are in front of everyone, Helen quickly introduced Jisoo to the rest.
After a few pleasantries, the group got acquainted with each other.
To their surprise, the beautiful young female doctor was even calm when meeting the mayor. This truly astounded them on how she is able to carry her own mental attitude toward the mayor and his family.
Jisoo casually discussed with them as they talked about matters about her background.
She knew that the family would be curious so she did not hide anything from them.
"I'm actually from a small village… I got lost in a forest and also lost my memories… My benefactors have saved me and given me a home and a warm family. From then on, I stayed with them and we helped each other…" Jisoo explained while showing a grateful expression on her pretty face.
As they listened, they could not help but praise the luck of such a family. If they found such a beautiful and promising young talent, they too would appreciate and take good care of her.
Seeing the reaction on their faces, Jisoo did not explain the other circumstances of the family.
"Doctor Sung… You should call me auntie from now on, okay?" Helen suddenly said as she felt a bit of a pity for the young doctor.
"Ah… Ye… Yes, Auntie." Jisoo was a bit taken aback.
"Haha… Then you should call me uncle…" Mayor Tang likes the calm attitude of the girl even with her humble background, so he agreed with his wife.
"And I will be your sister…" Celene suddenly grabbed Jisoo's hand.
Cendric did not join the three as he just looks at the beautiful woman in front of him favorably.
He subconsciously touches his heart for some unknown reason.
They then asked her about diseases and how she is able to learn medicine. Of course, she shared with them the half-truth about her master and how she learned by herself after.
This time they were in awe of her talent.
Peter Tang could not help but suddenly think.
"This girl… isn't she a genius? Even without formal studies, she is able to learn so much… This is truly a talent of my Vie city." He thought as he recalled the information she has gotten about Jisoo.
Since the group is talking about medicine, Jisoo then shared with them how she is going to treat Helen and the underlying procedures.
"Well, before the treatment… Should we have lunch first?" Helen was the first one to interrupt the group.
They did not notice the time, and now it is already almost lunchtime.
The group agreed and they were about to head to the dining room when Mayor Tang's phone rang.
When he saw who the caller is, an excited smile appears on his face.
"Hahaha… Why is my… high and mighty… nephew calling your uncle?!"
When Celene heard her father say those words a flash of excitement could be seen in her beautiful eyes. For her, her cousin is the most handsome man and the most capable. Nothing can compare to his talent, handsomeness, and aura, not even his excellent brother.
"Oh, you're coming to visit us?! Good! Good!" the voice of excitement is evident in Mayor Tang's tone.
But when Helen heard her husband say that his nephew is coming, a deep frown was etched on her face.
Jisoo on her side noticed this. She too became curious why this man could man Helen frown.
"Auntie… who is…"
"Jisoo… Do not be curious about that guy… He is…"
"Mom… Don't say anything bad about cousin." Celene suddenly pouted.
She did not know why her mom dislikes her cousin today.
In fact, Helen did not dislike the nephew of his husband. She just did not like him visiting today. This is because… she wanted to create a sort of relationship between Jisoo and her excellent son, Cendric.
"Haha… Honey, my nephew is coming here because he wanted to talk to me about a certain business…" the mayor said with a big smile.
Suddenly, Helen's expression changes... she now feels a bit complicated when she heard of this. If her husband and his nephew work together with this business, the city would benefit from it. Plus it would boast her husband's political prestige to the higher-ups.
While thinking to this point, she heaves a deep sigh and then nodded her head reluctantly.
Not long later the sound of footsteps arrives at the entrance and everyone turns their attention to it. It was as if they are waiting for a VIP guest to enter the hall.
Jisoo squinted as she could smell a familiar scent.
She did not know what is going on, but when the person they are waiting for appears at the entrance, her mind suddenly went blank.
She could not help but stare at that familiar face that she had seen at least two times already. But that handsome face and regal aura before that guy made her think that there seem to be something wrong here.
"Is this… Coincidence or planned?" she thought to herself as a doubtful gaze landed on the handsome face of the man who had just entered.
That's right… the man they are waiting for is the Vice Chairman of Blue Diamond Corporation, Arthur Tang.
