After the man in white arrived, he first glanced at the sleepy Qiu Dayu, then patted the counter. "Wake up."

Qiu Dayu groggily woke up and hurriedly came out from behind the counter, saying, "Sir."

Is Miss Qiu Yan here?

Upon hearing the question, Qiu Dayu looked intently at the man.

He was pale and weak.

He was certain he didn't know this person. "She's not here. Do you need to see her?"

"Of course something's wrong." After saying that, the man in white turned his head and looked at Song Jiao and Tang Yi on the second floor, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Is she still alive?

Without waiting for Qiu Dayu to ask any further questions, he slowly left and went straight up to the second floor.

Qiu Dayu looked at the man going upstairs with a puzzled expression. What did he want with Qiu Yan?

His confusion lasted only a moment; soon, he figured it out.

This man was physically weak and seemed unable to take care of himself. He must have heard of Xiaoyan's medical skills and wanted to seek medical advice.

"Jiaojiao".

Song Jiao's pipa playing suddenly stopped. She looked up sharply, staring at the man in front of her, her gaze fixed.

These two simple words ignited Tang Yi's jealousy.

He stopped playing his flute and looked at the man indifferently.

Song Jiao sat there in a daze for a moment.

"Brother, it's you."

"Why are you here, and why have you become a courtesan?" The man stepped forward, but after a few steps, he became unsteady and swayed due to his illness. "For the past year or so, I thought you... I never imagined that you, who seemed so far away, would be so close at hand."

He would speak a few words and then catch his breath for a moment.

Song Jiao lowered her eyes, looking at his weak body, and clenched her fists. "Lord Tang, I have something to say to him. You should go back first."

Tang Yi remained motionless and asked, "Who is he?"

Song Jiao pursed her lips. "My brother, you should go first."

Tang Yi was told to leave, and reluctantly went downstairs to the counter. He asked Qiu Dayu, "Who is that man? Is he my brother, or an admirer?"

Qiu Dayu looked bewildered. "I don't know him."

Tang Yi looked up at the two people talking, his jealousy intensifying: "Does he often dine at your restaurant?"

Qiu Dayu shook his head. "You're the one who comes here often." He had never seen this person before. In fact, even if he had, he wouldn't remember him.

"I suppose they're old acquaintances," Tang Yi said in a low voice, then turned and sat down next to Qiu Dayu, making Qiu Dayu feel quite uncomfortable.

"Sir, do you have no official business to attend to today?"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs."

"..."

Qiu Yan was still diligently studying her medical books.

Noticing someone approaching, she looked up and saw Song Jiao walking towards her.

She asked curiously, "Song Jiao, what brings you here?"

Song Jiao usually had nothing to do and stayed at Xingyue Tower, never taking the initiative to seek her out.

“Young lady, I’ve come to see you. My brother…” Song Jiao stopped there, glancing behind her, “My brother.”

elder brother?

Qiu Yan was slightly taken aback. Before she could ask, she saw a man slowly approaching the shop entrance.

Both Dr. Hu and Zhao San looked at Song Jiao and Zhao San simultaneously.

They thought to themselves, "This pharmacy hasn't even opened yet, and patients are already coming to our door."

It seems that Qiu Yan had previously treated both Manager Gao and the Ding family's daughter, and thus gained a reputation.

Doctor Hu approached Qiu Yan, his gaze fixed on the man who entered.

"It's you?"

Qiu Yan looked at Qin Feng with a puzzled expression. She had no idea that this person was actually Song Jiao's brother.

Qin Feng coughed lightly and rubbed his uncomfortable chest. "Miss Qiu Yan, we meet again."

Song Jiao looked bewildered. "You two know each other?"

Qiu Yan shook her head, "I don't know him."

"We've met once before." Qin Feng looked at Qiu Yan quietly, wondering what her true identity was.
