Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 482: I Said You Would Have to Kneel and Beg My Wife (3)
"All right, I’m listening to what you’re saying, but I don’t know if perhaps you saw it wrong. Maybe Mrs. Ou was just passing by and greeted someone; they might not even be mother and son," Xiao Shulan stayed calm.
"Mom?" Kang Yueting was certainly anxious, repeatedly assuring her mother that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her ears. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Xiao Shulan held onto her daughter, "Don’t rush, let’s go ask Professor Tang first. He was his teacher; no one knows his situation better than Professor Tang."
Seeing that her mother wasn’t dismissing the matter outright and wanted to inquire further, Kang Yueting felt slightly relieved. She thought, with clear and undeniable evidence, no one could refute it, not even Tang Sili.
Therefore, the mother and daughter headed towards Tang Sili’s office. During this time, Xiao Shulan hurriedly made a phone call to ask the driver who was staying in her car to bring over a box of pastries.
It was said that Tang Sili was very fond of money; it wouldn’t be good to go empty-handed to question him, and directly handing over cash would be too vulgar. Fortunately, her car was equipped with a box of premium handmade ice cream cake from a high-end bakery.
Stored in a special freezer box, it hadn’t spoiled.
With the box of cake, the mother and daughter knocked on the door of Tang Sili’s office.
Tang Sili had just returned from Xiao Jianming’s hospital room, back to his office to change his clothes.
Upon hearing knocking, he asked, "Who is it?"
"Professor Tang, it’s me."
It sounded like it was the voice of the second young miss from the Xiao Family. Tang Sili slowly turned around, buttoned his freshly changed lab coat, and went to the door to open it.
"Hello, Professor Tang." Xiao Shulan held her daughter’s hand and carried the cake in the other, smiling at him, "I hope you’re available, Professor. There’s something I’d like to consult you about."
Kang Yueting, standing behind her mother, observed. Normally, her mother was always haughty and rarely so pleasing to anyone, seemingly not even to her own father.
This surgical professor was indeed a strange person; how could he make her mother act so humbly?
Tang Sili’s slow, profound gaze swept over the mother and daughter. He hummed, "Come in then, Mrs. Kang and Miss Kang."
Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Xiao Shulan and her daughter flashed into his office.
Tang Sili shut the door, then seated himself at his office chair facing his desk as if prepared to work, asking, "Mrs. Kang, what is it you wanted to ask? As long as it’s a professional question, I’ll try my best to answer."
Xiao Shulan wasn’t in a hurry to dive into the main topic. She placed the cake on his desk and cheerfully said, "This was just baked this morning, ice cream cake. I heard you’re quite fond of desserts, so I specially brought this for you."
"Given by Mrs. Kang?" Tang Sili slightly raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Shulan affirmed, "I know that the professor invested a lot of effort in trying to save my father, and for that you’ve been tireless. I didn’t know what else I could do, but my father taught us to be grateful and reciprocate. I brought this cake to express my gratitude, hoping the professor might be pleasantly surprised by something incredible inside."
Upon hearing this, even Kang Yueting’s heart couldn’t help but flutter. Was this what adult bribery and corruption looked like?
Hearing her words, Tang Sili, who was holding a pen between his fingers, gently lifted the cross ribbon tied around the cake box, as if feeling the weight of what was hidden inside, and suddenly exhaled, "Mrs. Kang is indeed a generous person, an irresistibly generous person."
"Professor Tang is a smart man. For someone as outstanding as Professor Tang, how can one not be generous? I heard my brother won your favor with a generous heart," Xiao Shulan all but blurted out how much money she would give, certainly more than what her brother had offered.
