Chapter 81

" Wu Potian! I am Lin Xiaoqing's mother. I am in the car outside your clinic. Come out, I need to talk to you about the matter between you and our Xiaoqing." Just as Wu Potian's words fell, the phone immediately rang with Xue Xiuching's extremely cold voice.

Hearing Xue Xiuching's instructions, Wu Potian looked up at the black car outside the clinic, put the receiver back on the phone, and said to his father, who was seeing patients nearby, "Dad! I have something to take care of, I'll be back soon."

Wu Potian walked to the car with a puzzled heart. Before he could even speak, the car window suddenly lowered, and Xue Xiuching, with a blank expression, instructed Wu Potian, "Get in! I have something important to tell you."

Seeing Xue Xiuching's unfriendly expression, Wu Potian felt a very bad feeling rise in his heart. However, since she was Lin Xiaoqing's mother, he could only follow Xue Xiuching's instructions and sit in the car, politely asking Xue Xiuching, "Auntie! I wonder what you need to talk to me about?"

Last night, Xue Xiuching had a fight with Lin Xiaoqing over Wu Potian, which deepened her prejudice against him. Seeing Wu Potian, she naturally did not give him a good face, and asked him in a very unfriendly tone, "Wu Potian! Do you think, with your current conditions, you can make our Xiaoqing happy in the future?"

From Xue Xiuching's tone, Wu Potian could clearly feel her strong prejudice against him. Although he did not understand why Xue Xiuching had such a strong bias against him, since he had promised to make Lin Xiaoqing happy, he would not back down because of Xue Xiuching's questioning. Facing Xue Xiuching's questioning, he was not the least bit afraid and replied, "Auntie! Although I don't know what happiness means to you, I know that Xiaoqing is very happy with me. I believe that as long as I can make Xiaoqing happy every day, that is enough."

"Happy every day, do you think that's possible? Without mentioning our family background, Xiaoqing is an excellent girl. Do you think you are a match for her with your current conditions? Wu Potian! I have already investigated your situation. If you are willing to break up with our Xiaoqing, I can arrange a formal job for you." Xue Xiuching's face showed a look of disdain, and she proposed a deal to Wu Potian in a mocking tone.

Hearing Xue Xiuching's offer, a surge of anger rose in Wu Potian's heart because the terms of the deal made him feel insulted. However, since she was Lin Xiaoqing's mother, no matter how angry he was, he could only suppress his anger and still answered in a respectful tone, "Auntie! I originally thought that a mother who could raise such an excellent child as Xiaoqing must be a great and wise mother. But now I realize I was wrong. Your words not only insult me but also insult Xiaoqing. In my eyes, Xiaoqing is priceless and cannot be exchanged for any material thing."

Xue Xiuching's eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes shot a sharp glance, staring intently at Wu Potian, and she threatened him, "Wu Potian! Do you think our family is one you can aspire to with your background? I can tell you that with just one phone call, I can make your family's clinic close down. If you don't want your family's clinic, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, to close, I advise you to break off your relationship with our Xiaoqing as soon as possible."

Despite Xue Xiuching's harsh words, considering she was Lin Xiaoqing's mother, Wu Potian, even with his great dissatisfaction, still suppressed his anger. However, now that Xue Xiuching was threatening him with his family's clinic, it completely enraged Wu Potian. His face turned very grim, and he met Xue Xiuching's eyes without fear, answering, "Auntie! The reason I am with Xiaoqing is because her persistence moved me, not because of her family background or appearance. I don't know how prominent your family is, but I believe your words are not just empty threats. However, if you think you can force me to give up Xiaoqing with this method, you are greatly mistaken."

"Xiaoqing has waited for me for many years, even giving up an excellent job and life in the provincial capital. Now that we have finally come together, if I were to give up on Xiaoqing just because of your threats, I would be betraying all her silent sacrifices for me. Of course, as Xiaoqing's mother, I understand your thoughts and actions and have no complaints. But if you want me to give up on Xiaoqing, I am afraid I cannot do it. Unless Xiaoqing herself tells me that there is no possibility between us, I will not easily give up on her, nor will I betray her because of any threats."

As the first lady of Min Province, Xue Xiuching could be considered a powerful figure in Min Province. However, in front of Wu Potian, she was completely at a loss and even had a sense of déjà vu, vaguely recalling how her husband had faced her family with calmness and fearlessness.

This memory touched a nerve deep within Xue Xiuching, and her anger gradually subsided. She carefully examined Wu Potian, and after a long time, she said to him with a serious expression, "I hope you remember this promise. You can get out of the car now."

Watching Xue Xiuching's car disappear from sight, Wu Potian's face was filled with confusion. However, this scene made him realize that Lin Xiaoqing's identity was not simple, and their relationship would not be as smooth as he initially thought. Thinking about this, Wu Potian silently told himself that he must quickly master the medical skills in the learning space and reach the pinnacle of the medical field. Only by becoming a doctor respected by all could such incidents be prevented.

Wu Potian did not realize that because of Xue Xiuching's visit, his mindset had undergone a significant change. After he became famous, he issued a regulation specifically targeting the powerful and the rich: if more than 30% of the people in the area were dissatisfied with a political figure, he would refuse to treat them, and the consultation fee for the rich would be 50% of their wealth.

This regulation immediately caused a huge stir. Political figures and wealthy businessmen, whose public opinion polls exceeded 30% and who were unwilling to pay their wealth as consultation fees, all criticized Wu Potian, saying he did not deserve to be a doctor. Of course, these were all later developments.
