Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Passionate as Fire_1

Weng Lanlan abruptly caught her and stuffed the items she was carrying into Shen Tianxing’s hands. Glancing once more at the luxurious five-star vehicle not far away, she hurriedly said to Shen Tianxing, "Xiaoxing, we won’t disturb you anymore. This is a gift from Ziyi and me to you. Although it’s not worth much, it’s a little token of our sincerity. Congratulations on your great results and getting into the Royal Academy. We are truly happy for you, really..."

Toward the end, Weng Lanlan’s eyes had reddened.

She wondered if they hadn’t abandoned this bright child all those years ago, would she now be sharing in this joy and happiness with her?

Seeing the way Weng Lanlan longed for her while fearing to be a burden, along with Ning Ziyi’s admiring gaze full of longing to be by her side, Shen Tianxing suddenly felt a pang in her heart.

Knowing Weng Lanlan’s gentle nature, she didn’t bother discussing it further. She simply took Ning Ziyi’s hand and said to Weng Lanlan, "Mom, don’t say any more. Since you’re both already here, come with us to dinner. You know, my adoptive parents are very kind people. Let’s go! Don’t worry, they will welcome you!"

"Xiaoxing..."

Weng Lanlan wanted to persuade her further, but Xiaoxing quickly interrupted, "Let’s go, let’s go. If you keep talking, I might really get angry!"

Hearing Shen Tianxing speak like this, Weng Lanlan promptly closed her mouth.

She followed closely behind Shen Tianxing, her expression a mix of excitement from being with her daughter and the worry of holding her back.

As it turned out, she was indeed overthinking it.

Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia welcomed her very warmly.

Even Dugu Zixi showed a good-natured nod of recognition toward Weng Lanlan and Ning Ziyi.

Seeing that everyone welcomed them, mother and son finally felt at ease.

Although Ning Ziyi was only ten years old, the experiences of the past few years had made him mature quickly, becoming more considerate and diligent in his studies.

He had always seen his sister, Shen Tianxing, as a goal to aim for and idolized her, hoping to match up to his impressive sister through hard work.

Even if he couldn’t quite reach her level, he, as her younger brother, at least had to ensure his achievements weren’t far behind hers.

The party of six took Dugu Zixi’s luxurious five-star car through the gates of the Royal Academy.

Dugu Zixi’s car and his face were like a pass.

When the guards at the Royal Academy saw him and his vehicle, they swiftly opened the gates and stood by respectfully, smiling in a flattering manner, bowing, and ushering them inside.

The moment Dugu Zixi’s five-star luxury car stopped in front of Shen Tianxing’s residential villa, they saw Sun Daheng, the old dean of the Royal Academy, rushing toward them with a group of people.

The old dean, Sun Daheng, was also the younger brother of Doctor Sun Datong, who had treated Dugu Zixi before.

From his elder brother, Dean Sun had heard plenty about the stories of the Little Doctor, Shen Tianxing. He knew his brother had always hoped to have the opportunity to discuss medical skills with the Little Doctor.

When he heard that Shen Tianxing was going to attend university at the Royal Academy’s Traditional Chinese Medicine department, Doctor Sun Datong excitedly went to his brother, asking him to arrange a position as a professor in the department.

With Doctor Sun Datong’s stature, taking up a role as a professor in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of the Royal Academy would certainly be no problem at all.

But he is already over seventy years old, and even the Royal Health Service has urged him to retire, not daring to let him make home visits at whim, much less to take a professor position at the school.

If something were to happen, it would be difficult for his younger brother to explain to the family.

Therefore, the former dean Sun Daheng just couldn’t agree to his elder brother’s reckless behavior.

But ever since Shen Tianxing cured Dugu Zixi and then healed Old General Li, as well as Master Ruan, in the past two years, he successively cured many of Capital City’s dignitaries suffering from fatal illnesses, he revered Shen Tianxing’s medical skills immensely.

Now that he finally had the opportunity to get close to and discuss with Shen Tianxing, how could this medical fanatic possibly miss it?

The former dean Sun Daheng couldn’t overrule his elder brother’s persistence, and no one in the family could dissuade him; in the end, they had to let him have his way.

Sun Datong had been waiting at the Royal Academy for the past couple of days, anticipating Shen Tianxing’s arrival at the school.

The former dean Sun Daheng, having no choice with his elder brother, had to accompany him the whole time.

The moment the call came through from the school gate’s guardhouse, the two brothers hurried over.

Originally, there weren’t so many people, but the equally sharp-nosed higher-ups at the school had also been waiting for the opportunity to connect with Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing.

They had arranged informants at the school gate’s guardhouse, too, and knew immediately when Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing arrived at the academy, quickly following behind the former dean to come and greet Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing.

When Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing saw so many people arrived, they looked at each other and both felt helpless.

They initially didn’t want to disturb anyone and had quietly come to take a look.

But these people were sharper than ghosts; there was no escaping them.

Faced with the enthusiastic smiles of former dean Sun Daheng, Doctor Sun Datong, and the other school leaders, Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing felt resigned but could only step forward to exchange pleasantries.

Before Shen Tianxing appeared, Sun Datong had been responsible for treating and rehabilitating Dugu Zixi.

He and Dugu Zixi had become quite familiar with one another.

Desperate to forge a connection with Shen Tianxing, this time he had even cast aside his pride and shamelessly clung to them.

After the other school leaders finished exchanging pleasantries with Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing, made their presence known, and handed out their business cards, they found excuses to leave at the hint from Dugu Zixi.

But Sun Datong was insistent, regardless of Dugu Zixi’s overt and covert hints, he just wouldn’t leave, causing former dean Sun Daheng to apologize with embarrassment; eventually, he gave up on his elder brother and excused himself.

Shen Tianxing was also left amused and exasperated by the old doctor, but she promised him that she would certainly discuss medicine with him in the future, and would spare no secrets as long as he was willing to learn.

Upon receiving her promise, Sun Datong finally left satisfied.

Dugu Zixi led Shen Tianxing, Shen Wenru, Li Xiuxia, Weng Lanlan, and Ning Ziyi on a tour upstairs and downstairs, and then they prepared to leave the academy to go back to the Dugu Family for lunch.

When Weng Lanlan heard lunch would be at the Dugu Family, she felt intimidated and didn’t want to go.
