Chapter 265 Self-righteousness

However, these two wanted to find Xiao Taohua, but Xiao Taohua might not be standing still for them to find. So when the big boss led his people to Xiao Peichuan's place, they were told that Xiao Taohua had returned to school.

Boss: ...

The expert was extremely disgusted: "Don't you even look at the time? It's so late, the girl must have already gone back to school to rest. It's only because you insisted on coming that you've disturbed her rest. Young man, I'm really sorry, this is an apology, please accept it. Um, will the girl come tomorrow? I'll bring my old buddy along to pay her a visit then."

Xiao Peichuan glanced at the two elderly people, both over fifty years old, and said, "They'll be here this afternoon."

"Okay, thank you so much. Old Zhao, let's go, let's not really bother them." With that, he pulled the big boss aside and waved goodbye with a smile.

Boss: ...

When he got back into the car, the big boss looked very unwell.

The expert was still nagging: "Honestly, why did you have to pick this time? Couldn't you even wait one night?"

The big shot glanced at him sideways.

Why do you look at me like that?

"Heh, why do you think I see you that way?"

"Could it be? I look much younger? It seems the prescription this time is quite good."

The powerful figure asked menacingly, "What prescription did you write?"

"Yes, really? No, you must have misheard."

"I heard it clearly with both ears!" The subtext is: don't try to fool me.

"Well, it's nothing special, just something to nourish myself. You know how my old arms and legs are, I always need to nourish myself."

"I don't believe you! Didn't you say you'd share any good stuff with me?"

"That's always been the case." The master praised himself without blushing or panting, "It's just me. Look at everyone in the capital, who has a better relationship with you than me? I can't do without you when I have something good. People even envy us."

The big shot sneered: "I don't think so."

"Oh dear, what kind of attitude is this? I haven't even said anything to you yet, and you're criticizing me first."

"Yes, I don't know who was urging me to meet that person, but I ended up being the one who didn't even get to see them and I'm now the one who's guilty."

"Really? No way! I'm telling you, Lao Zhao, you can't think like that. How can you think of me like that? We've known each other for decades, we've been through thick and thin together!"

"I don't want to think of you like this either, but you've already done it, and I can see it with my own eyes."

You must have seen it wrong.

"I'm not blind."

"You're definitely mistaken. By the way, I recently acquired something good, so don't blame me for not taking care of you."

"Okay, I'll take it."

"Okay, deal!"

The big shot glanced at him and said, "Let's do it," and he didn't care anymore.

Meanwhile, Xiao Taohua, who was at school, was about to go back to her dormitory to prepare some things to take back to Xiao Peichuan when the professor called her over.

Then Professor Song thoughtfully arranged for someone to go to Xiao Peichuan's place to tell him that Xiao Taohua would not return until tomorrow.

This is also why Xiao Peichuan answered the bigwig in that way earlier.

At this moment, the office was dimly lit.

Well, I can't bear to use lamps, so I'll have to prepare candles instead.

The candlelight cast exceptionally large shadows on the wall, and crucially, there was more than one shadow in the office at that moment; counting them, one, two, three, four, five.

Good heavens, five people!

Little Peach Blossom stood in the very center, surrounded by the other five people staring intently at her.

"Professors, you've been watching for a long time, I need to go back."

"We have already informed your partner that you will be returning tomorrow afternoon."

Little Peach Blossom stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Ahem, Lin, don't look at the teacher like that. The teacher had no choice." Although he said this with a hint of guilt.

"Yes, Lin, you can't just take leave during university. Even if you are a talent that the country values, talent is still 99% hard work plus 1% genius. A genius who doesn't work hard is worse than an ordinary person."

"You're young now, so you should focus on working hard and put things like relationships on hold."

"We are in a developmental stage, and everything is in need of rebuilding. Lin Xiaotao, you need to prioritize important matters and put aside matters of the heart. Don't worry, if your boyfriend is dissatisfied with you, it's because he's not good enough for you. The professor will find you someone better."

Little Peach Blossom was still in a daze when she heard this and immediately retorted, "I only want Pei Chuan!"

Why are you so stubborn!

Little Peach Blossom remained silent.

The professors were having a headache.

Forget it, let's take things slowly. They'll send someone over today...

"Ahem, Lin Xiaotao, I heard you're quite skilled in medicine?" With such a powerful figure coming, how could your medical skills be lacking? That's impossible.

However, I've never heard of it before.

Little Peach Blossom thought for a moment and said, "It's alright."

At least all the patients she treated recovered.

That's considered good medical skills.

Moreover, her master and parents all praised her, as did other patients she cured. She must be someone with excellent medical skills, and she also has a secret weapon—her master's family's unique medical technique.

Even if she lacked confidence in her own medical skills, she had absolute confidence in her master's unique skills!

"So today..." Professor Song really wanted to ask about the big shot's search for Xiao Taohua, but considering that the big shot's affairs were not something that just anyone could inquire about, he only said, "If we hadn't found out by accident, we wouldn't have known that your medical skills were so good, and that you had been studying traditional Chinese medicine since elementary school?"

To be honest, Professor Song accidentally let slip what happened tonight. He didn't say that the big shot was looking for Xiao Taohua, but just remarked that someone was seeking Xiao Taohua's medical expertise. It seemed that the other party had a lot of faith in Xiao Taohua's medical skills, which led to this meeting.

Aside from Professor Song, the other professors seemed to prioritize Xiao Taohua's academic progress. As for her medical skills, well, as the saying goes, they weren't particularly outstanding. Unlike Professor Song, who knew exactly who was looking for Xiao Taohua.

"Yes, I've been learning medicine from my master since I was a child." There's no point in hiding it; everyone knows that.

"You've completed your apprenticeship?" Professor Song asked.

"I've graduated! My master even said I've surpassed him."

Professor Song: ...

Since the master said so, it must be right.

However, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are usually old men with white beards, while Lin Xiaotao is indeed quite young.

But considering that Lin Xiaotao is no ordinary person, it seems understandable.

Understand my ass!

Traditional Chinese medicine is even harder to learn than Western medicine!

Professor Song's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He wanted to tell Lin Xiaotao to take it easy and also wanted to advise Xiaotaohua not to treat people so easily, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that he seemed a bit arrogant, especially in his treatment of Lin Xiaotao. It wasn't just him; several of my former colleagues and professors also seemed to be a bit arrogant.

From the moment they met Lin Xiaotao and learned of her extraordinary talent, they were constantly urging her on, remaining in a state of excitement, wishing that Lin Xiaotao would follow their assigned tasks every moment. But from beginning to end, they ignored Lin Xiaotao's own opinions.

Professor Song seemed somewhat bewildered at that moment.
