The Sweetest Medicine - Chapter 118
Chapter 118: Continuing The Fire Of Passion
They were definitely from outside of the circle. Were they toyboys that Lin Jiayu found from somewhere? No wonder she never introduced them.
Thinking that she had discovered something suspicious, Qiao Pan’er gave a long sigh. As she looked at Lin Jiayu, she asked, “Jiayu, is that your new boyfriend?”
Lin Jiayu looked at Qiao Pan’er and replied, “No.”
Qiao Pan’er looked worried, “I heard that thingy broke up with you in Antarctica. I told you ages ago that people like us shouldn’t befriend people with messy backgrounds. Plenty of people target us because of our identities. You must know that if someone marries us, they could work 20 years less and enjoy the life of a tall, rich and handsome.”
Yu Gangan looked speechlessly at Qiao Pan’er.
Although she wanted to ask Lin Jiayu what happened in Antarctica and how it caused her to give up on herself, she could guess that it was related to relationship problems and was afraid that it would hurt her if she asked.
Qiao Pan’er appeared as though she was concerned about Lin Jiayu. But, bringing this matter up in front of so many people was like stabbing a knife into her heart.
“I still have my friends…” Lin Jiayu cut in coldly.
Qiao Pan’er looked at Lin Jiayu with surprise.
She felt a sense of displeasure.
She thought she was being kind and Lin Jiayu was being ungrateful.
“Fine, go ahead and eat. We’ll find a cafe to chat at later tonight,” she said as she lowered her head.
“No, I still have something to do,” Lin Jiayu rejected.
Qiao Pan’er was unhappy. After a moment of hesitation, she turned and left.
“Sorry,” Lin Jiayu said as she looked at Yu Gangan.
Yu Gangan smiled slightly, “Why are you saying sorry to me?”
Qiao Pan’er’s words sounded more like she was hinting that Fang Zhihan and Lu Xuechen were toyboys.
Lin Jiayu lowered her voice, “She said that doctors of Chinese medicine were…”
Yu Gangan smiled, “It’s nothing. It’s true that Chinese medicine is struggling and Western medicine is on-trend. It’s actually improved a lot in recent years; there has been a lot of collaboration between Chinese medicine and Western medicine.”
When her grandfather was still around, Chinese medicine really struggled for a few years. People often posted articles to attack Chinese medicine and listed examples of how people were ruined by it. Some people even sent in requests to abolish it.
But, of course, this was because people posed as doctors of Chinese medicine and hurt people.
During that period, Yu Gangan was furious whenever she saw the articles.
But, her grandfather said to her calmly, “You will probably encounter more problems like this in the future. Don’t be angry. If you have time to be angry, you should use it on curing people and finding ways to pass on knowledge instead. You need to have faith in Chinese medicine as a quintessential part of Chinese culture; it will definitely be passed down and will never be eliminated nor will it die.”
His voice was warm.
His smile was kind.
It made people passionate.
Perhaps, Chinese medicine was struggling at that moment, but it was bound to shine one day.
Her grandfather had a lot of students and she wasn’t the most talented one, but she was determined to carry on her grandfather’s belief…
“Wait, the surname Qiao? Doesn’t Qiaoshan Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Bozhi Hospital, and Pan’er Beauty Hospital all belong to them?” Lu Xuechen suddenly asked.
Lin Jiayu looked at him and gently nodded her head.
Meanwhile, Yu Gangan furrowed her brows, “…”
Qiaoshan Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
Bozhi Hospital.
Pan’er Beauty Hospital.
These hospitals…a few of the medical records in her teacher’s box was from these hospitals…
