Chapter 486 – Father and Daughter of the Feng Family

Hm? Mrs. Tangs eyes lit up as she listened to her daughter. Whats that, Yin? Lin Yis girlfriend doesnt mind letting you be the mistress?

Tang Yin blinked before realizing what her mother was talking about. She furrowed her eyebrows. Mom, youre not thinking of letting me be a mistress, are you? If so, dont even think about it. Theres no way Id ever bring myself to do something so embarrassing!

Mrs. Tang didnt really want to say anything anymore after that display of will. She patted Tang Yins shoulder. Alright, Yin, cheer up. Who knows, Lin Yi might come back to you one day.

Who needs him to come back! I wont even look at him! Tang YIn stomped her feet, making up her mind. Im gonna go study. I was just too dumb and trusted him! Itll never happen again!

With that, Tang Yin ran into her room, feeling a lot better after letting that out to her mom. She didnt feel as rejected and pressured.

Mrs. Tang looked at her daughter run off before shaking her head in regret, sighing to herself. Yin, you just dont know how tough life is yet. Youll know how hard it is without money once youre my age.

She remembered all her classmates who werent even as pretty as she was when they were young.

But they were in rich families now, all taking care of their skin and face! She, on the other hand, had lost her school beautys looks to the passage of time!

People judge you based on your wealth, a truth about the hopelessness of society, a truth people didnt like to hear.

Xiaoxiao went through the blood extraction numbly before getting the CT scan. It was a battery of tests and checkups, same as always. The result would always be the same.

Xiaoxiao yawned as she laid on the hospital bed bored to death. Tianlong walked in and looked at his daughter. What do you want to eat tonight, Xiaoxiao? Ill take you, I took two days off. We can spend some time together!

Its okay, you have work to do. Xiaoxiao shook her head as she stared blankly at the cars outside the window, her tone indifferent. Are the results out yet? When can I leave?

Xiaoxiao only asked if the results were out and if she could leave. It was clear that shed long since given up hope on getting cured. All she wanted now was for the whole thing to finish so she could leave.

She wouldve stayed in the hospital if it were curable.

Not yet, but Doctor Zheng is an expert on hereditary diseases. He should know what to do! Tianlong comforted.

You dont need to try and make me feel better. Even that first generation miracle doctor Lin Dongfang couldnt do anything about Moms sickness. How are other doctors supposed to fix me? Xiaoxiao said with a grimace. Shed lost all hope, wishing only to be able to do the things she wanted without restraint in the last stages of her life so shed die without regret.

Miracle Doctor Lin said that he could heal you. Theres just some circumstances that havent been fulfilled, Tianlong said helplessly. Miracle Doctor Lin said that given five years, he might be able to find a cure, but your mom couldnt wait five years

Isnt he just making excuses for his incompetence? Xiaoxiao harrumphed. Who knows if he can actually cure me or not? Hes probably worried about his reputation.

Thats not it. Miracle Doctor Lin kept researching the special composition of your moms blood after her death. Its just that hes gone into isolation after our last meeting, Tianlong said, feeling helpless.

Yeah, he went into hiding because he couldnt cure her! Xiaoxiao didnt care much for him. Thats just what miracle doctors are! That stupid Miracle Doctor Kang too. What did he do, he just made a Golden Creation medicine! What else does he know? Miracle Doctor? What a joke!

Youre still young, you dont know of the type of person Miracle Doctor Lin is. Hes a man with determination! He put himself at risk by going out and doing solitary research on poison. Tianlong couldnt bring himself to scold her daughter, but he did put on a lecturing tone. You cant disrespect him!

Fine, fine. Xiaoxiao waved her hand. If he has such determination, how come hes in hiding?

Your moms sickness isnt childs play, its a really serious disease. Tianlong smiled bitterly. I tried to get into contact with him recently, but I couldnt get ahold on him. Captain Yang, the man who brought me on a mission that year, has some involvement with Miracle Doctor Lin, but hes gone into hiding as well.

Why did you bring me here for the checkups if you know how hard it is? Xiaoxiao frowned.

Theres still a couple days for the tests. Ill walk you around Yanjing for a bit, get some fresh air, Tianlong said, avoiding the question. Naturally, he, too, understood that there wasnt much hope in the checkups this time around either, but it was better than nothing.

Okay, Xiaoxiao said quietly, not saying yes or no, evidently not very interested.

Someone gave me some tickets to an auction. Are you interested? Tianlong said, remembering the Yus auction. Hed received an invitation as well.

Tianlongs division was the secret investigaion department, a secretive special ops team. They were very close with House Yu, and the Yus would always send many invitation tickets to the people of that department, despite the majority of them not having the time to actually participate. It was more of a gesture than anything.

Auction? Lets go take a look then! Xiaoxiao hadnt been to an auction in her life, so it actually interested her. Shed like to see one before she died. Itd suck if she died without knowing what it was like!

But I wont have the money for it if something catches your eye, Tianlong said regrettably. I have a high paying salary, but I cant bid on items worth millions and ten millions.

Haha. Xiaoxiao finally smiled and laughed. This was what shed wanted, the feeling of having fun with her father. Whether or not they could buy anything was the least of her concerns.

Shed heard her dad tell her that theyd take a walk more times than she could count, and itd always end in her father leaving for an unexpected mission, skipping out on her. He couldnt do that if he got invited to this auction! You need to commit this time!

Tianlong was overjoyed to see the smile on his daughters face. I wont! Theres three auctions, I can at least stay with you for one!

Okay. Xiaoxaio was more than satisfied with that. It was more than enough for her.
