Although she was not one to curry favor, this was still the Bai family, one of the top aristocratic families in the country!
Even on a global scale, it was a renowned family.
And Bai Ruoqi, as the daughter of the Bai family, her partner, if not of equal standing, should at least be one in a million, right?
Yet, from Wu Tian, she could not detect such an aura.
Wu Tian's attire was too ordinary, indistinguishable from any common young man on the street.
Those young men might not be bad, but how could they be worthy of the Bai family?
Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, she managed to force a smile and said, "Oh, I see. It seems Ruoqi has truly grown up."
Then she turned to Wu Tian and asked, "Wu Tian, what do you do for a living?"
Wu Tian had no intention of embellishing his background and answered directly, "Auntie, I'm a doctor."
"A doctor?" Hearing this, Wu Menglan felt a little better.
After all, doctors enjoyed a relatively high status in society.
If Wu Tian were a senior doctor, she might be able to accept it to some extent.
She continued to ask, "Then what kind of doctor are you? Which hospital are you currently working at?"
Wu Tian still truthfully replied, "Me? I'm just a village doctor. I don't work at any hospital."
Wu Tian was not intentionally hiding anything.
Although he was now the honorary dean of the County People's Hospital, it was merely a nominal position, and he had never worked there for a single day.
Therefore, in his heart, the identity of a village doctor was more fitting.
However, despite his sincere answer, it was like a bolt from the blue to Wu Menglan.
Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and her voice rose considerably, "A village doctor? No way, how can you be a village doctor?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I grew up in Peach Blossom Village since I was a child, so after graduating from medical school, I stayed in the village to be a village doctor. There shouldn't be any problem with that, right?"
Wu Menglan's entire face stiffened. She could not understand Bai Ruoqi's thinking. With Bai Ruoqi's knowledge and status, how could she find a village doctor as a boyfriend? It seemed impossible no matter how she thought about it!
At this moment, Xiao Lu interjected, "A village doctor? No way, Ruoqi, isn't he your personal assistant? How did he become a village doctor?"
Bai Ruoqi did not seem to care about this and said, "Wu Tian was indeed a village doctor before. As for being an assistant or not, that's just him talking nonsense."
Xiao Lu found it somewhat unbelievable.
Wu Tian was an immortal. Could a village doctor have the ability to become an immortal?
This was hard to believe no matter how one thought about it!
And these words, in Wu Menglan's ears, took on an even more distorted meaning.
She believed that this so-called personal assistant was likely a position Bai Ruoqi bestowed upon him to keep Wu Tian by her side.
So, in the end, this young man in front of her not only lacked ability but might even be a kept man!
Wu Menglan felt a dull ache starting in her head.
What was this all about? The family's situation was already bad enough, and now Bai Ruoqi had brought back someone like this.
Wasn't this just adding to the trouble?
However, she maintained her good breeding and did not voice her inner frustration, only managing a strained smile, "I see."
"But a village doctor is a village doctor. As long as you like it, daughter, it's all the same."
From Wu Menglan's slightly twitching eyes, Wu Tian sensed her mood.
But he didn't explain anything. After all, capable people would shine wherever they went.
Explaining too much now would be like a vendor praising their own goods.
Afterward, Wu Menglan led everyone into the house.
However, she did not address Wu Tian again from beginning to end. Perhaps she was still contemplating how to make Bai Ruoqi give up on Wu Tian.
As they chatted, Bai Ruoqi suddenly asked, "Oh right, Mom, how is Dad's condition now?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Menglan's expression immediately became somewhat dejected.
She sighed and said, "How else could it be? It's probably beyond cure."
"Your uncle and the others clearly came for this reason. The doctor said that when the car accident happened, your father's legs were run over multiple times."
"All the bones are completely shattered now. Apart from amputation, there is no other way."
Bai Ruoqi exclaimed in shock, "How could this happen? Aren't there many famous doctors in the capital? Are they all unable to solve it?"
Wu Menglan sighed, "I've consulted all the doctors I could find, but everyone is powerless."
"They said that in such a situation, one can only seek help from the Divine Doctor Sect."
"But what kind of place is the Divine Doctor Sect? Even if your grandfather went, he might return empty-handed."
"And given our family's current situation, it's even more impossible."
After Bai Ruoqi was lost in thought for a moment, she suddenly looked at Wu Tian.
Upon meeting Bai Ruoqi's gaze, Wu Tian understood her intention.
So he said to Wu Menglan, "Auntie, since that's the case, why don't you let me take a look?"
"You?" Wu Menglan was surprised that Wu Tian would say this. She asked, "What are you going to look at?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Auntie, have you forgotten? No matter what, I am also a doctor."
"Perhaps I have a way to solve this kind of situation?"
Wu Tian's words did not gain Wu Menglan's approval. She looked at Wu Tian with a strange gaze and then hesitated, "Wu Tian, I know you mean well, but one must act within their capabilities."
"I've already said that this is a problem that even famous doctors cannot solve. You are just a village doctor, how can you possibly do it?"
"You don't know, but your Ruoqi's father has become very peculiar due to this matter. He's usually someone I'm hesitant to provoke."
"If you go there, you might get scolded. So, in my opinion, it's best to forget it."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's alright, Auntie. Please let me go and take a look. I don't have many skills, but I can cure any illness that others cannot."
"So, if you let me go, perhaps it will really be solved?"
Even with Wu Tian saying this, Wu Menglan did not develop any trust in him. On the contrary, she developed some negative impressions of him.
In her opinion, Wu Tian was volunteering solely to show off and gain her approval.
But this was not child's play.
The more Wu Tian acted like this, the more she felt he was overestimating himself.
