Chapter 35: Sending Cards and Treating Guests

  It has to be said that the difficulty of giving Bertha acupuncture is beyond Congye's expectation. On the first day, after combing through the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Congye estimated that it would take half a month, but on the second day, when combing through the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, Congye had to spend the morning combing two-thirds and the afternoon combing the remaining one-third. Because of the mysterious hot flow in Congye's meridians, she simply couldn't hold on. She had to stop halfway to rest and recover some of the hot flow before continuing to comb.

  Two and a half hours in the morning, one and a half hours in the afternoon, a total of four hours. After finishing her hair, Bai Wei fell asleep as usual, while Cong Ye felt like he had lost all his strength, and when he stood up from his chair, his legs were slightly trembling. The attentive Yan Qingcheng immediately noticed Cong Ye's condition, hurriedly supported him to sit in her own chair, and personally poured a cup of hot water for him.

  "Why don't you lie on the table and take a rest?"

  "Sister-in-law, no need, I'll just sit for a while."

  After finishing speaking, Cong Ye no longer cared about looking good or not, lifted his legs and stacked them on the chair, assuming a cross-legged sitting posture, closed his eyes slightly and started to breathe deeply.

  Yan Qingcheng saw the situation, not only turned off her phone, but also ran downstairs and locked the clinic door from the inside. She also told the landlord on the first floor that if there were patients coming later, to tell them that the doctor was not in and ask them to come back tomorrow.

  Until Bai Wei woke up, Cong Ye didn't wake up. Bai Wei looked at Yan Qing Cheng with great embarrassment, seeing that the sky was already late, and didn't say anything about going home. Instead, she slowly took out a card from her small bag and put it in Yan Qing Cheng's hand.

  The two were afraid of disturbing Cong Ye, so they didn't speak and instead wrote on paper.

  "Sister, this is the medical fee for you and Brother Congye."

  "When did I say I wanted your medical expenses?"

  "Alright, so everything inside is for Brother Congye, right?"

  "Don't give it to me then, you can just give it back to him later."

  "Who is he?"

  Yan Qingcheng didn't expect Bai Wei to react so quickly, she was just trying to save trouble by not writing Cong Ye's name, but was caught by Bai Wei. Her face turned red, and she nodded at Bai Wei's forehead. Bai Wei then reached out to touch Yan Qingcheng's hot cheek, and also pulled up Yan Qingcheng's hand to compare it with her own, and then compared it with Bai Wei's, meaning to let Yan Qingcheng compare them herself.

  "Don't mess with my sister!"

  Although Yan Qingcheng added a big exclamation mark after the word, her face didn't have any sternness to speak of, still wearing a warm and gentle smile.

  Facing the lively Bai Wei, Yan Qingcheng was also helpless. However, thinking again, did he really just want to save trouble by not writing the two words "Cong Ye"? In fact, Yan Qingcheng himself couldn't make it clear either.

  When she saw Bai Wei occasionally looking out of the window, Yan Qing Cheng thought she wanted to go home, so he wrote:

  "Shall I see you home first?"

  "No need, I think I'll wait for Brother Cong Ye to wake up, and then I'll invite both of you out for a big meal."

  "Where did you get the money?"

  "It was given by Dad and Mom."

  "Is it Dad or Mom?"

  "Dad paid for the medical expenses, Mom paid for the meal."

  Yan Qingcheng pulled Pavia into his arms, stroking her little head, and whispered in her ear:

  Xiao Wei is really happy.

  Bai Wei nodded vigorously and suddenly thought of Yan Qingcheng being an orphan, so she lifted her head and whispered into Yan's ear:

  "Sister will also be happy, definitely will be. It's said that good people have good rewards, sister is such a good person, the happiness in the future will definitely be unmatched by others."

  "What are you doing?"

  The sudden question from Congye startled the two women who were whispering to each other.

  "Are you awake?"

  "Brother Cong Ye, this is what Dad asked me to give you."

  Bai Wei bounced over to Cong Ye's side, pulled up one of Cong Ye's hands, and with a slapping sound, slapped the card into Cong Ye's palm.

  "This..."

  Cong Ye turned to Yan Qing Cheng with a pleading gaze for help.

  "Xiao Wei said, this is for you, it has nothing to do with me."

  "What's wrong? The clinic is yours, isn't it, Xiaowei?"

  "Yes, older sister Jing Cheng."

  Just after finishing speaking, Bai Wei immediately realized that she had misspoken. If she said it was for Jing Cheng's sister's medical expenses, they definitely wouldn't accept it.

  "Brother Cong Ye, although it's in Qing Cheng's medical hall, the credit all goes to you. There's no money given to Qing Cheng inside."

  Cong Ye held the card and turned it over for half a day, as if he had never seen a bank card before. Finally, he looked at Bai Wei and said:

  "Xiao Wei, you don't know that although combing your meridians is a bit tiring for me, this process also has great benefits for me."

  "Congye brother lied and wouldn't admit it, he's so tired but still says there are benefits, I'm not a kid anymore."

  "Don't believe me? Ask Qīng Chéng Jiě."

  Cong Ye said "Qing Cheng Jie" very naturally, without adding a "your" in front of it. Yan Qing Cheng's ears were also very pleased to hear it.

  "City Top Sister?"

  "Congye is telling the truth, so you'd better take it back. Congye will help you with your meridian, which will be beneficial to both of you, and consider it a win-win situation."

  "How can that be? I don't care, even if Brother Congye doesn't accept it, Sister Qingcheng will. Anyway, I won't take it back again."

  As he spoke, he glanced at Cong Ye and then at Yan Qingcheng, and added another sentence:

  "If you don't accept it, I won't come to treat the illness anymore."

  After finishing speaking, the small face sank childishly and sat down on the chair, turning his back to the two of them, no longer saying a word.

  Yan Qingcheng glanced at Cong Ye, a faint smile of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if to say:

  "What will you do?"

  Cong Ye saw Yan Qingcheng not only didn't help himself, but instead pushed all the difficulties over to him. He couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh and say:

  "Xiao Wei, how much money is inside?"

  When Cong Ye asked about the amount of money inside, Bai Wei thought Cong Ye had agreed to accept the consultation fee and immediately turned around with a restored normal expression, smiling and saying:

  "Dad gave it to me, I don't know how much money is inside. It can't be a lot, Dad has always been very stingy. Brother Cong Ye, remember the password well, and don't let Sister Qing Cheng know, okay?"

  After finishing speaking, he casually wrote a string of numbers on a piece of paper and handed it to Cong Ye, then turned around and made a face at Yan Qingcheng.

  Congye had no choice but to put the card and password away for now. Seeing Congye putting the card into his pocket, Baiwei became lively again. He stood up, pulled Yan Qingcheng, turned back and shouted:

  "Brother Congye, Mom also gave us money for a big meal, let's go now. I know a good place."

  At this time, Bai Wei was completely a little girl's demeanor, without any shadow of a college student on her body.

  Yan Qingcheng understood a bit about Bai Wei's family background, knowing that her family was not short of money for a meal. From Cong Ye's tone, it was absolutely impossible to collect Bai Wei's medical fees, so he didn't stop Bai Wei from inviting him. He looked at Cong Ye who was still sitting in the chair and said:

  "Since Little Wei has a good heart, let's go and have a free meal."

  Three people came downstairs and stopped a taxi, and Bertha said to the driver:

  "Little Swan."

  Cong Ye may not know, but Yan Qingcheng knows that the Small Swan Hotel is probably one of the top two hotels in Guanhai City. It's usually used to entertain high-ranking government officials or wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people rarely dare to enter.

  "Xiao Wei, isn't it?"

  "What's the big deal? They're not going to refuse our money. Besides, the hotel manager is my mom's classmate and has invited me many times to try their new signature dishes, but I've never had a chance. Today's a good opportunity to give it a try, and if it's not good, we can just not pay."

  Baiwei's voice is crisp and pleasant to hear, speaking as if pearls are falling onto a jade plate.

  The taxi stopped quickly in front of the Small Swan Hotel, and the doorman rushed over to open the door for Cong Ye and his friends before they even got out. One by one, he bowed and greeted them politely:

  "Welcome! Have you made a reservation?"

  "No."

  Cong Ye replied in order.

  "I'm sorry sir, but if you haven't made a reservation, the hotel is fully booked."

  Pei Wei couldn't take it anymore and walked over to ask the waiter:

  "Is Uncle Bao in?"

  "Which Uncle Bao?"

  "It's Bao Zhen, the general manager of your hotel, Uncle Bao."

  "I don't know."

  Several waiters really didn't know if the general manager was there or not.

  Bai Wei ignored them and brought Cong Ye and Yan Qingcheng to the main hall. Before the manager of the main hall could speak, Bai Wei said directly:

  "If there really aren't any more vacancies, then could you please give us one of those two rooms?"

  "Miss, what did you say?"

  "Doesn't Little Swan always reserve two of the best rooms for unexpected situations? Don't you know?"

  "Miss, may I ask who you are?"

  Patty.

  "Miss Bai, there are two spare rooms in the hotel, but without the general manager's approval, I don't have the authority to use them."

  "What a hassle, waiting."

  Bai Wei's face showed a hint of impatience, and she immediately took out her phone, dialed a number, and put it on speakerphone.

  "Who?"

  "Hello Uncle Bao, I'm Xiaowei."

  "Ha, how did Xiaowei think of calling her uncle?"

  "This didn't come from Little Swan, I wanted to try Uncle's special dish, but there were no rooms left."

  "Where is Xiaowei now?"

  "Go to the lobby and let the lobby manager and uncle talk."

  The handsome lobby manager took the phone from Bai Wei's hand, turned around and walked a few steps to one side, said a few words in a low voice, then turned back with a smile and handed the phone back to Bai Wei, bowing slightly.

  "Miss Bai, sir, madam, please follow me."

  When the manager of the hall mistakenly thought that Cong Ye and Yan Qingcheng were a couple, Bai Wei immediately made a face at Yan Qingcheng and playfully stuck out her tongue.
