My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 54 Si Mingjing: No Negotiation in Swindling You 1

In the banquet hall, everyone was shocked. "So, Old Master Song was the one who made a new breakthrough in cancer treatment?"

Old Master Song was indeed the most famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in A Country, and his medical skills had long been recognized by many of his peers in the medical community.

No one believed Si Mingjing could cure it, but if it were Old Master Song, that would be a different story.

The fervent hope in everyone’s eyes intensified.

Song Pianlan declared sternly, "That’s right! This breakthrough was painstakingly researched by my grandfather. I never imagined Mingjing would be so vile as to try and steal my grandfather’s research for her own fame!"

Song Pianlan said, her voice laced with pain and indignation, "Mingjing, you grew up on Prison Star, surrounded by inmates who committed heinous crimes on Earth. We don’t know if anyone could emerge untainted from such an environment. But now that you’re back on Earth, you should turn over a new leaf and become a better person! How could you sneak into Grandfather’s study, rifle through his notes, and then claim them as your own?"

THUD!

Ye Nianbai shot out a leg and kicked Song Pianlan hard.

The fiercely protective little boy’s face flushed with rage. He pointed at Song Pianlan. "You hideous woman, stop spouting nonsense! My woman hasn’t committed any crime! Why should she ’reform and start anew’?"

Ye Nianbai might be small, but his logic was sharp. He hit the nail on the head, making the guests realize an important point: Si Mingjing was born and raised on Prison Star, but she was not a criminal herself. Therefore, using terms like ’reform and start anew’ to describe her was indeed unsuitable. In truth, she had merely been unfortunate in where she was born.

Ye Nianbai scoffed. "You claim my woman stole your grandfather’s research. She hasn’t even said what her findings are, so how can you be so sure she’s trying to take credit for his work?"

Despite his young age, his thoughts were clearer than anyone else’s. Like a miniature adult, he instantly took control of the situation. The guests quickly understood his point: indeed, since nothing had been revealed yet, how could anyone know if she was trying to take undue credit?

Xian Chen spoke up. "Why don’t we have Miss Si and Old Master Song each describe their respective breakthroughs? The truth will come out then, won’t it?"

The guests murmured in agreement; this seemed like a good solution.

Academician Li also approved. "Old Song, what do you think?"

Old Master Song actually didn’t know what Si Mingjing’s effective remedy was. He frowned slightly, thinking his granddaughter had been too rash. What if their approaches weren’t the same? Wouldn’t that be a public humiliation for them? However, he was certain that the breakthrough he had discovered in cancer research was unparalleled. If their findings truly differed, his method would naturally be superior. After all his years practicing medicine, he had at least that much confidence.

Old Master Song scolded, "Pianlan, Mingjing is your niece. How can you speak of her like that in public?"

Then he smiled. "To be frank with everyone, I have indeed made some small headway in the fight against cancer. If Mingjing also has new findings, it would be an excellent opportunity for us to discuss them. An academic exchange, you see. Perhaps we can even spark some new insights. Mingjing, why don’t you go first?"

Old Master Song let Si Mingjing speak first precisely because he wanted to compare whose discovery would be more astounding.

If, by some infinitesimal 0.00001% chance, Old Master Song mused, this girl’s breakthrough truly was better than the one he’d painstakingly researched for years, he could always improvise. He’d just go along with Pianlan’s accusation and claim the research as his own. In any case, today, he absolutely had to make the medical colleagues he’d invited understand that when it came to medical skill, this mere slip of a girl was still leagues behind him!

Si Mingjing chuckled, not at all bothered by the scheming. She then boldly presented her effective remedy for cancer.
