Chapter 31 The medicine cured his illness, which aroused his suspicion.
Although Kong Mengjiao had guessed that the child was likely born to Kong Wange, she still didn't want to believe it until Murong Ting admitted it himself.
Murong Ting was unaware that the woman in front of him was testing him, and casually replied, "...Then I'll have to trouble Miss Kong."
This statement undoubtedly constitutes an admission.
Kong Mengjiao clenched her fists at her sides, her heart sinking: "I never thought this little brat was really born to that country bumpkin Kong Wange!"
However, judging from Ting's attitude, he doesn't seem to like his sister, otherwise he wouldn't have secretly raised the child for five years.
It seems that Kong Wange must have used some trickery back then to give birth to the child.
Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved. She tried to calm herself down, picked up her pen and wrote down the prescription, then handed it to Murong Ting. "Brother Ting, just get the medicine according to this prescription and decoct it for Xiao Chen."
Murong Ting took the prescription and arranged for someone to get the medicine. Then he raised an eyebrow and said, "You know traditional Chinese medicine?"
Kong Mengjiao smiled shyly: "Brother Ting, have you forgotten? Our family started out as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Although I am now studying Western medicine, I also know a little about traditional Chinese medicine."
Only after this was mentioned did Murong Ting remember.
Indeed, the Kong family started out with a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and later gradually expanded into the field of Western medicine, established a hospital, and recently began to venture into pharmaceuticals.
Looking at Kong Mengjiao in front of him, Murong Ting couldn't help but think of Kong Wange again.
They are both daughters of the Kong family, so how come they are so different?
The medicine was quickly bought and Aunt Zheng went to the kitchen to prepare it.
Kong Mengjiao got up and said, "Brother Ting, I'll go check. The dosage of this medicine can't be wrong."
Murong Ting nodded slightly.
In the kitchen, Aunt Zheng couldn't help but shrink back when she saw Kong Mengjiao.
Kong Mengjiao, abandoning her previous gentle and harmless demeanor, sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? Things have already gone this far, there's no turning back now. Don't worry, if you do this well, I guarantee you and your son will be well-fed and clothed for the rest of your lives."
Aunt Zheng nodded obediently, "Yes, I will do whatever Miss Kong says."
Kong Mengjiao handed her a packet of medicine powder with satisfaction, "Add this to the decoction, it can relieve the cold poison in that little brat's body."
"Okay, I understand."
"Do you still have the cold poison I gave you last time?"
"There are two small packets left."
"Okay, hide one packet well, and for the other packet, mix a small amount into his meals every day."
Aunt Zheng's eyes widened: "W-Will you continue?!"
Kong Mengjiao looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Otherwise, why would I have a reason to come here so often? Since this poison has been administered, it will naturally continue to be administered."
She lowered her voice and said, "Only if I become the Murong family's benefactor will they value me, and only then will I have the ability to help your son, understand?"
Aunt Zheng nodded tremblingly: "I...I understand."
"Do a good job, and you won't be treated unfairly." After saying that, Kong Mengjiao patted her shoulder and turned to leave.
Not long after, Aunt Zheng came up with a bowl of herbal soup.
After setting it aside, Murong Ting let her go home from work and patiently stirred the medicine with a spoon to cool it down.
Watching from the side, Kong Mengjiao thought to herself that Murong Ting valued this son so much that she had made the right bet this time.
After the medicine was administered, Murong Chen quickly stabilized.
Her breathing visibly stabilized, and she stopped crying and fussing.
Lin Cheng took the thermometer and immediately exclaimed with delight, "Young Master Ting, the young master's fever has gone down!"
Murong Ting hadn't expected the effect to be so obvious; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the medicine cured the disease instantly.
He got up, tucked the blanket around Murong Chen, and raised his hand to Kong Mengjiao, saying, "Miss Kong, let's talk in the living room."
"Brother Ting, you can just call me Jiaojiao," Kong Mengjiao said shyly, and then followed them into the living room.
Jiaojiao...
Lin Cheng couldn't help but get goosebumps again.
Seeing the bedroom door close, Murong Ting turned to Kong Mengjiao and said, "I, Murong Ting, keep my word. Just tell me what you want."
Kong Mengjiao said sweetly, "I've already said I don't care about these things. I'm already very happy to be able to help Brother Ting."
She didn't mention asking Murong Ting to invest in the Kong family; she was after much more than just this small amount of money.
What she wanted was for Murong Ting to owe her this favor, thereby bringing them closer and allowing her to take the position of the young mistress of the Murong family.
Sure enough, Murong Ting's expression softened considerably upon hearing this.
Others are kind-hearted and don't expect anything in return, but he can't help but give.
After a moment's thought, he took it upon himself to instruct Lin Cheng: "Pass down the word that all subsequent medical equipment maintenance for Kong Family Hospital will be provided free of charge by Yunting Pharmaceutical."
The annual maintenance cost for one instrument is close to 200,000 yuan, which is quite a benefit when you calculate it.
Beside her, Kong Mengjiao was secretly delighted. It was completely different from her asking for it. She continued to pretend to be noble and virtuous, saying, "Brother Ting, I really don't want anything from you. You don't have to do this."
Murong Ting said calmly, "That's only right. You'll need to take good care of Xiao Chen's health from now on."
"Don't worry, Xiao Chen is so cute, I will definitely treat him well!"
After saying that, Kong Mengjiao wrote down a prescription: "Brother Ting, these are the medicinal materials that Xiao Chen needs for his follow-up treatment. After you buy them, just give them to him for three consecutive days. I will come to check on him again after three days."
Murong Ting nodded, gesturing for Lin Cheng to take it.
After Lin Cheng took the item, Kong Mengjiao, knowing the importance of taking things slowly, prepared to take her leave.
Murong Ting said, "Let Lin Cheng take you."
Kong Mengjiao waved her hands repeatedly: "I won't trouble Assistant Lin. He still has to help Brother Ting take care of Xiao Chen. It's very convenient for me to take a taxi back."
She then gave a sensible and appropriate smile and said, "Goodbye, Brother Ting."
Seeing this, Murong Ting did not insist and nodded slightly.
He turned to Lin Cheng and said, "We will provide two of our latest batch of equipment to the Kong family."
"Give it back?" Lin Cheng's eyes widened. Seeing Murong Ting's expression, he couldn't help but mutter, "They've already given us quite a few benefits..."
Murong Ting said calmly, "She can cure Murong Chen's illness. It's just two pieces of equipment, what's the big deal?"
Lin Cheng fell silent. Indeed, although Young Master Ting usually acted rather ruthless, everyone knew that the young master was his lifeblood!
Kong Mengjiao, who hadn't gone far, happened to hear this from outside the door.
She clenched her fist tightly to keep from making a sound of excitement.
That was a brilliant move of hers.
After leaving the residential area, Kong Mengjiao hailed a taxi, feeling quite pleased with herself, and prepared to go to a nearby shopping mall for a happy shopping spree.
Unexpectedly, she received a phone call as soon as she got on the bus.
She glanced at the caller ID and narrowed her eyes—
It's the private investigator she hired last time!
She pressed the answer button, and a male voice came from the other end: "Hello, I found the person you asked me to look up."
Kong Mengjiao lowered her voice and quickly asked, "Who is it?"
"A woman named Kong Wange."
Kong Mengjiao was immediately stunned, then raised her voice in disbelief: "Who did you say? Are you sure you're not mistaken?!"
The other party calmly replied, "Is Miss Leng questioning my professional competence?"
Kong Mengjiao was stunned for a moment before she remembered that this was the fake surname she had made up. She came to her senses, gritted her teeth, and said, "That's not what I meant. Okay, I understand. The rest of the money will be transferred to your account today."
