Wen Xin held the kitten in her arms, gently squeezing its tiny, twitching ears with a slight smile. She seemed to be in a good mood.
Looking through the rearview mirror, Liang Luoyu saw Wen Xin’s face. For a moment, he couldn’t tell if what Wen Xin said was true or not.
He thought Wen Xin was hard to figure out. Her true words sounded like lies, and she was serious about her lies. It was confusing.
“Let’s drop it. You’re always bluffing. Talking to you, one can’t tell if you’re serious or not. I won’t ask about your family anymore. Later, when you go to Zhuge Jingming’s, remember to get some traditional medicine for me. I think my brain isn’t working well, and I need some medicine.”
Wen Xin took out her buzzing phone, looked at Liang Luoyu, who seemed a bit annoyed, and smiled lightly. This silly guy finally admitted his brain wasn’t right. She found it funny.
She saw a message from Mu Chengxi on her phone. He said he had sorted his matters and asked when they could eat together.
Wen Xin replied to Mu Chengxi with patience, telling him she was going to Zhuge Jingming’s clinic and wasn’t sure when she would be back. She told him not to wait for her for dinner.
Liang Luoyu parked the car outside Zhuge Jingming’s clinic, where many luxury cars were lined up. It looked like Zhuge Jingming’s business was doing well.
“Since Zhuge Jingming cured the old madam, he’s become very popular. I heard that the Chinese Medicine Department of Beijing University’s medical school specially invited him to be an honorary professor this year. Probably, many students will join the traditional medicine department.”
Wen Xin saw the cars and answered lightly. She also heard Zhuge Jingming had brought some talented young junior doctors from Green Physician Sect for training.
“Zhuge Jingming is not like those frauds. He’s really skilled,” Wen Xin knew about Zhuge Jingming’s medical skills, so she trusted him with Old Madam Mu’s health care.
She got out of the car, leaned on the passenger window, and smiled at Liang Luoyu, who had a sad expression on his face, “Please buy some stuff for the little cat. If you’re not sure what to get, ask Mu Bei. He knows better.”
“After buying, just go home. Master Xi is there, and I might stay long at Zhuge Jingming’s. You don’t have to come back for me. I’ll go back by myself when I’m done. Don’t worry, I’ll get your medicine!”
Wen Xin spoke as Liang Luoyu listened carefully. When he heard her last words, he looked a bit upset and squinted at Wen Xin, “Thanks!”
“No worries. Drive safe.’
Liang Luoyu drove off, and Wen Xin walked into Zhuge Jingming’s clinic alone. The clinic was full of people waiting. Wen Xin looked around, hesitated, and then decided to just go in through the front door.
Right then, a woman rushed in with a three or four-year-old child, shouting,
“Master Zhuge, please, save my son! He has a high fever and is unconscious…”
The woman was loud, and the child in her arms was still and pale, clearly very sick.
Wen Xin was about to help when a man stopped the woman.
“Hey, if your kid has a fever, go to a hospital. What are you doing here in a Chinese medicine clinic? You think acupuncture will fix it? You’re just making trouble.”
“Yeah, do you know how long we’ve waited? You come in yelling. My grandma has heart problems. If you scare her, can you take the blame?”
The woman panicked. She had taken her child from the hospital after no improvement in three days.
The woman looked at the unfriendly people around her and panicked. She had brought her child out of the hospital. The child had been hospitalized for three days and did not get better. His condition was getting worse, so she brought the child out.
She didn’t expect her child to faint on the way here. She was also frightened.
“I’m sorry, my child is unconscious. Please let Master Zhuge see him. I’ll pay whatever it costs if my child gets better.”
The woman looked simple, not showing any brand, but she spoke well, like someone from a wealthy family.
Hearing her, some people got mad and confronted her.
“So, having money makes you better? Why so proud? Offering to pay our bills?
If you can, pay for everyone here. I don’t believe that you can do so. You look poor, but talk big. Just a scammer!”
After the man spoke, everyone looked at the woman, who was shaking and had never been insulted like this.
At that moment, the doctor inside heard the noise outside. A person who arranged the number came out from inside. He held a number plate in his hand and gave it to the woman. He also took the child’s pulse and checked the child’s condition.
“Lady, there are twenty people before you. And looking at your child, you should go to a hospital. Waiting here might be too late.”
“That’s right. Look at your child. Not going to a hospital and coming here is wasting time!”
The woman, tears in her eyes, was overwhelmed. If the hospital could have helped, she wouldn’t have come.
“My child was in the hospital for three days with no improvement. I’m desperate. Please help me…”
She held her child tight. The child’s face was turning from pale to blue, a bad sign.
Suddenly, the child’s breathing got fast, with slight shaking, scary to see.
“Could this be some poison, about to get worse?”
A voice from the crowd made everyone step back, worried about a contagious disease.
“Baby, baby, don’t scare mommy,” the woman knelt down, putting the child on her lap, patting his back, crying from helplessness.
The doctor who gave out number tags was scared too, and ran into the consultation room to call Zhuge Jingming to check the critical situation of the child..
