Beisitian knew they had a lot to talk about, and nothing more could be gleaned from Zheng Qiushuang, so Luo Xudong took her hand and left.
Beisitian allowed Luo Xudong to hold her hand, remained silent, with her head slightly lowered, and her face clouded.
No matter how she felt about Beidewang, she couldn’t accept it, nor could she imagine Beidewang as such a ruthless person.
The old Doctor Bei of Kao Village, the one who was highly respected and revered by the entire village and the surrounding towns, could be such a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
No wonder Bei Jiale walked to the door and didn’t even look at him. The grievances between them are destined by fate.
Luo Xudong, seeing Beisitian’s gloomy face, gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, "That’s other people’s grievances, not yours."
He could tell that her feelings for Beidewang were very lukewarm, far less than for the old chief, and there wasn’t much emotional attachnt either, so he hoped she could keep herself out of it, as it was too chaotic and complicated.
Beisitian sighed, "I’m afraid I can’t keep out of it."
With Beidewang there with the old man, and Bei Jiale popping out now and then to do sothing unanticipated, it left her with no way to stay out of it.
Soon after, Maynard ca out with Zheng Qiushuang. Her face seed a bit dazed, apparently hard to accept that she had Alzheir’s Disease. After all, she seed so well now.
And Maynard was also in disbelief. Now, Zheng Qiushuang, aside from the patch of silver needles on her head, looked exactly as she did before her illness, just like a normal person!
Indeed, ancient civilization has a long history, and there are truly many miraculous people around. What’s that saying? "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"
A young pregnant woman having such skills, he had wasted a lot of ti running everywhere for treatnt. If he had t Beisitian back then, perhaps his wife could have postponed the symptoms.
"Old sir, please carry on with your work. No need to worry about us, ti is limited," Beisitian reminded.
Maynard nodded. It was still ti to thank Beisitian later, as Zheng Qiushuang only had this short amount of ti, and he needed to make the most of it.
Maynard took Zheng Qiushuang out, and as they left the guest room, Zheng Qiushuang turned back and smiled at Beisitian, softly saying, "Thank you."
Beisitian watched them leave, regretfully saying, "She is a broad-minded person."
Zheng Qiushuang’s condition had improved very well. Among all the patients she treated, her recovery was the best, and correspondingly, her ti would be more fleeting, and her mory loss afterward would be more complete.
Even upon learning of her Alzheir’s diagnosis, only temporarily regaining clarity, she could so quickly face reality and even smile and say thank you. That kind of mindset is rare for soone her age.
Hence she felt regretful, as such broad-minded and insightful people are few and far between.
Beisitian and Luo Xudong also left the guest room. Not wanting to squeeze into the crowd with her pregnant belly, they found a quiet place to watch.
On stage, Maynard solemnly introduced his wife, Zheng Qiushuang. Under the lighting, they stood atop the podium, and Beisitian’s silver needles were thin, so most of the people below didn’t notice.
Only a few close by, and a few on stage including the emcee, looked at the patch of silver needles on Zheng Qiushuang’s head with strange expressions.
Yet no one was foolish enough to ask, for in such a setting, unless necessary, no one would insert so many silver needles into their head!
Those who didn’t see wondered about this suddenly appearing wife, while those who did remained silent as if they hadn’t seen it, murmuring in their heads. In any case, Maynard had brought Zheng Qiushuang into the public view.
The focus was not on introducing Zheng Qiushuang, but on the completed Hope Primary Schools appearing one by one on the big screen.
On the big screen, in a short clip format, each Hope Primary School was shown with an enlarged photo, where people could even see the white statue erected in the small gate. That statue was Zheng Qiushuang!
Zheng Qiushuang covered her mouth with her hands, tears streaming down her face as she watched the big screen, unable to control her emotions. This was what she had always hoped for. In the past, she had no money, only a fervent desire to help. Later, when she had money, she lived abroad.
She wasn’t one to casually beco overwheld with compassion; it was because in her earlier years, she often went to those impoverished mountain areas to take photos, which profoundly moved her, leading to this aspiration.
Seeing this, Maynard’s heart finally settled. He had ultimately fulfilled his wife’s dream, allowing her to feel at ease.
On stage, the two of them hugged each other, Zheng Qiushuang feeling thankful, deeply appreciating the heavens for giving her such a considerate and affectionate husband!
Beisitian watched this warm scene and also felt touched. There are many kinds of human nature in the world, so good, so bad, so affectionate, so heartless. The world view isn’t constructed by only one kind of humanity.
She sighed leisurely, wanting to temporarily set aside matters related to Beidewang and Bei Jiale.
"Oh, Doctor Bei, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing the voice, Beisitian turned back, realizing it was Madam Yun.
However, the question seed a bit odd; was she not supposed to appear here?
Madam Yun looked at Luo Xudong. She had never t Doctor Bei’s husband, nor had Sister Cheng, according to what she’d heard.
The reason she could recognize him at a glance was that Luo Xudong was holding Beisitian’s hand at this mont.
"This is my husband, Luo Xudong. This is Madam Yun, the wife of the Party Secretary of Jinbei City," Beisitian introduced both sides.
"Hello," Luo Xudong nodded and said.
Madam Yun also replied with a smile, "Hello."
Having said that, she looked at Beisitian strangely again, sized her up once, and with a smile said, "Look at Doctor Bei so at ease, you even thought to bring a change of clothes."
So ticulous people would bring spare gowns, but others might find it cumberso, so they wouldn’t bring any.
Beisitian squinted her eyes, "I don’t understand what Madam Yun ans."
Madam Yun’s smile paused, as she didn’t understand Beisitian’s aning either, so she had to repeat, "Just now, Doctor Bei was wearing a blue evening dress, wasn’t she?"
There was nothing hard to understand about this, Madam Yun was also puzzled by Beisitian.
Beisitian and Luo Xudong couldn’t help but glance at each other.
"Where did Madam Yun see ?" Beisitian asked, reigning in the unrest in her heart.
Madam Yun felt a little dizzy; what kind of questions were these? Where did I see you? Don’t you know it yourself?
"Just now, on the way to the restroom, outside the side door near the fire escape," Madam Yun had to answer, as she could tell Beisitian was not joking.
Beisitian nodded, "Sorry, I have sothing to attend to." After saying so, she imdiately walked toward that side door.
Luo Xudong followed closely behind.
Madam Yun was left utterly confused.
