I insist

Chapter 142: A Lifeline

Seeing this, the mother swallow turned her gaze to the father swallow.

She watched as Yan's father's complexion gradually improved, his previously flushed face returning to normal. She was surprised for a moment, then bent down and hugged him, burying her head in his neck and weeping.

Everyone was quite surprised. They hadn't expected Song Miqiu's medical skills to be so advanced. They had never seen that operation before; it was probably a newly developed technique.

Lin Yecheng stood in the crowd with a gloomy face. He had seen the whole process of Song Miqiu's treatment, especially the porcelain bottle.

He remembered the porcelain bottle very clearly; it was a gift that Song Miqiu wanted to present to Yan's father.

Lin Yecheng thought it was just a bottle of trash, but it turned out to be Yan Fu's lifeline!

Thinking about it this way, Song Miqiu knew about Yan's father's illness before the banquet started, and the medicine she had just held in her hand was meant to do Yan's father a favor.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly recommended Song Miqiu, and Song Miqiu simply went along with it, which not only enhanced his reputation but also connected him with the Yan family! He became known as the Yan family's savior.

Thinking of this, Lin Yecheng almost gritted his teeth. He had gone through all the trouble of bringing precious treasures just to make a name for himself in front of the Yan family, hoping that they could help him a few times if he needed their help in the future. But he never expected that he would end up doing all the work for someone else.

"Your medical skills are truly amazing!" someone in the crowd exclaimed in admiration.

As soon as he said this, people in the crowd began to praise Song Miqiu. They hadn't expected that this doctor's medical skills were so amazing and that she was a woman!

Throughout history, there have been very few women who have been doctors with superb medical skills; they can be counted on one hand. But unexpectedly, they have encountered one today!

Song Miqiu smiled broadly at the people in front of her, waving her hand, "I don't deserve it, I'm timid by nature and quite afraid of this kind of scene, but I didn't expect Dr. Lin to be so encouraging."

"I would say that without Dr. Lin, I wouldn't have dared to come out to treat patients, for fear of losing a life." As she spoke, Song Miqiu lowered her head in embarrassment.

After a short while, she looked up at Lin Yecheng with a smile, clasped her hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "After thinking about it, I think I should thank Dr. Lin for letting me take this brave step!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yecheng. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly basked in the attention and readily accepted Song Miqiu's compliment.

Seeing this, everyone bowed and looked at Lin Yecheng with contempt. They never expected that Lin Yecheng would be so shameless.

Anyone with eyes could see that Lin Yecheng was cowardly and afraid of trouble, thinking he couldn't handle the task, so he called Song Miqiu to clean up his mess.

Song Miqiu was just good-natured and offered a few flattering words as a polite gesture, but Lin Yecheng shamelessly agreed.

The young men standing relatively close to Song Miqiu looked at each other, and one of them echoed the sentiment.

"Yes, I never expected that Doctor Lin would have such a discerning eye to discover such talent. If we ever need talent in the future, we will have to trouble ourselves to go to the palace and invite Doctor Lin out so that we can all have a proper look at him!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yecheng's face stiffened. He gave an awkward laugh, but fortunately, the subsequent compliments didn't have the sarcastic tone of the young master, which eased Lin Yecheng's expression considerably.

"Song Miqiu".

Song Miqiu turned around and saw Yan Mu standing behind her with a very apologetic expression.

Mother Yan reached out and took Song Miqiu's hand, gently patting the back of her hand, her tone apologetic, "What happened just now was my fault, and I apologize to you here."

As she spoke, the mother swallow leaned down, her tone very sincere.

She looked at Yan Yufan, waved to him, and called him over. "Your father doesn't have the energy to continue the banquet. Fortunately, the first half went well. It doesn't matter whether your father is there for the second half or not. You stay here and let your mother and father host the banquet. Your mother will go back to the room to rest with your father."

Yan's father had already woken up. After Yan's mother finished speaking with Yan Yufan, she helped him up and walked step by step toward the room.

After seeing the Yan couple off, Yan Yufan turned around and strode up to Song Miqiu. His eyes shone with gratitude as he said, "Cousin, if it weren't for you, Father would surely be gone!"

He leaned down slightly, turned to the side, and raised his hand in one direction. "It would be a real shame not to offer you something to eat. Cousin, please sit over there. There will be maids to treat you well."

Although Yan Yufan was extremely grateful to Song Miqiu, now was not the time to repay him properly, as he had a banquet to host.

Song Miqiu looked in the direction Yan Yufan pointed and was surprised to see that he was sitting near the main table. At the same time, she heard Yan Yufan's voice beside her, "You should have been sitting there, and you should be sitting there now."

Song Miqiu understood the implication and stopped making excuses.

As soon as Song Miqiu stepped out of the Yan family home after the banquet, someone called out to her from behind.

She turned around in confusion, and seeing it was Lin Yecheng, Song Miqiu raised an eyebrow, "What's this, Dr. Lin?"

"Thank you for what happened earlier." Lin Yecheng bowed to Song Miqiu, his expression indifferent, unlike his usual demeanor towards her.

Song Miqiu was slightly surprised. She stood there blinking for a moment before she came to her senses. She smiled and waved to the other person, "It's alright. It's what I should do. It's normal for doctors to save lives."

Lin Yecheng blushed at Song Miqiu's words. He lowered his head, said nothing more to Song Miqiu, and quickly left the place.

When Song Miqiu returned home, she didn't see Yu Huailin. She looked around curiously.

While she was treating Yan's father, Yu Huailin seemed to have disappeared. After saving him, Song Miqiu searched for Yu Huailin at the banquet, but eventually assumed he had gone home and didn't think much of it.

Looking at it now, I'm afraid that's not the case.

Song Miqiu summoned Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei, asking in confusion, "Have you seen Yu Huailin?"

"Yu Huailin?" The couple looked at each other, puzzled. "Mother, didn't you tell him to go to the banquet with you? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu nodded casually, knowing that Yu Huailin had not returned.

Looking at the food she had just prepared on the table, Tian Yumei quickly invited, "Mother, why don't you sit down and have something to eat? I just cooked this especially for the two children, and there's quite a lot, so please have some."

"No, since it's for the children, how can I force them to eat? Giving them food is the most important thing." Song Miqiu replied absentmindedly, waving her hand with a faint smile.
