Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss - Chapter 240

240 240 So It Was You All Along

Because they were afraid of being discovered by Old Master Lu, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were very careful every time. They would control the surveillance cameras in advance before entering the room for treatment. This time was no exception.

However, Old Master Lu had already noticed it. Therefore, when the surveillance cameras had been hacked, there would be a notification sent to Lu Qing as soon as possible. Lu Qing received the news in the car and ordered the driver to rush to the hospital.

Tan Rou heaved a sigh of relief after she finished her acupuncture.

Zhuang Liu accompanied her by the side. Seeing her sweating all over, he said with heartache, “I can see that Old Master Lu’s body is recovering very quickly. Is there no need for acupuncture anymore? Would oral medication be enough?”

!!
Tan Rou glanced at Old Master Lu who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed and shook her head. “Old Master Lu’s body is too weak. Although the acupuncture has already had some effect, there’s still some time before he recovers. During this period of time, we can’t stop the pills nor the acupunctures. Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain.”

Old Master Lu’s body had indeed recovered a little, but he had not completely recovered. If he was allowed to continue receiving the previous treatment, then sooner or later, he would return to his previous state. Tan Rou did not want her efforts to be in vain.

“How much longer then?” Zhuang Liu couldn’t bear to see her work so hard. It was already tiring enough for her to go to school every day, study prescriptions, and treat him. Now, there was also Old Master Lu. He was worried that her body couldn’t take it.

“It’ll take about half a year. Traditional Chinese medicine can’t be done overnight. It has to be done slowly. This is also the reason why many people don’t want to choose traditional Chinese medicine. It takes time and effort. It’s far less effective than Western medicine.” Tan Rou said regretfully.

“Don’t tire yourself out.” Zhuang Liu could only use these words as a reminder. He could not help with the treatment at all.

“Yes, yes.” Tan Rou nodded. “After a while, we won’t have to come here sneakily anymore. As long as Old Master Lu finds out that his health has improved, he will definitely look for the reason. By then, we will be able to visit him.”

Zhuang Liu smiled in relief. “Yes, I know. ”

Tan Rou planned to settle the score with Old Master Lu when his health improved. After all, her treatment was not free. She still had to collect what was needed.

After resting, Tan Rou wanted to take out the needles. She had to control the time carefully or it would damage Old Master Lu’s body.

Zhuang Liu couldn’t do anything else. He took a tissue and wiped Tan Rou’s sweat, hoping that this would make her feel better.

In fact, if Tan Rou really wanted a more comfortable life, he would give her a house, a car, and money. As long as Tan Rou asked for it, he would definitely give her the best. But then, she wouldn’t be Tan Rou anymore. She would be a canary that had been raised in captivity.

He liked Tan Rou, and he liked her dazzling personality even more. Her ability made her shine. She could use her own ability to make her life better. She did not need others to give her alms.

He loved Tan Rou deeply. He could not bear to hurt her at all, and he would not allow anyone to hurt her even a little.

Tan Rou was focused on the acupuncture while Zhuang Liu was wiping her sweat. Neither of them noticed that Lu Qing, who had rushed over after receiving the news, was standing outside the door.

Lu Qing stood at the door and looked at the two people through the small window, especially Tan Rou.

It turned out that the person who had been performing acupuncture on his grandfather was Tan Rou.

How could that be? How could it be Tan Rou? Didn’t the doctor say that the person was an expert? At Tan Rou’s age, she didn’t look like an expert, right?

Inside the room, Tan Rou had already removed all the needles. She was a little tired, so she sat on the stool by the bed to rest for a while.

“Are you alright?” Zhuang Liu asked with concern.

Tan Rou smiled slightly. “I’m alright. Let’s leave immediately so that we won’t be discovered…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the door of the ward opened. Lu Qing stood at the door and looked straight at Tan Rou.

Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu looked at each other, “Where’s Xiao Mo?”

Lu Qing stood at the door, not knowing what to say. Should he say thank you? He felt a little awkward now.

Should he ask Why? But, what would he mean by saying that? Wasn’t Tan Rou saving his grandfather?

“I see.” After a long while, Lu Qing took a deep breath and said, “So it was you who secretly treated my grandfather.”

Tan Rou, 17 years old, his high school classmate, the girl who ranked first in her grade. And now, she was the hidden sage who performed acupuncture for her grandfather.

The whole thing was unbelievable.
