Chapter 646: Everyone's Feelings
Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun invited Ye Rufeng to sit down, and Wang Shufen also came over to greet them very politely.
Ye Rufeng was taken aback when he saw Wang Shufen, then asked, "And who is this?"
Wang Shufen, "???"
Wang Shufen looked somewhat defeated when she realized that Doctor Ye had actually forgotten about her.
It was also quite awkward.
She had been thinking about Doctor Ye for so long, and today she finally met him, but he didn't recognize her.
Wang Shufen was heartbroken.
“Grandpa, this is my second aunt,” Lu Ye introduced. “She consulted you before.”
"Oh." Ye Rufeng looked at her for two seconds. Wang Shufen thought he had finally remembered her, but to her surprise, he said, "I've treated too many patients to remember right now."
After Ye Rufeng's explanation, Wang Shufen, though disappointed, was no longer so embarrassed.
That makes sense. Ye Rufeng is a renowned and skilled doctor who sees so many patients every day; it's understandable that he might forget about her.
But then she thought about it again: she was Lu Ye's second aunt, and a relative of Ye Rufeng.
They had all eaten at the same table. How could an old man as smart and wise as Ye Rufeng not remember who she was?
Wang Shufen also wanted to remind Ye Rufeng that she had rheumatoid arthritis.
Hopefully, this will awaken the miracle doctor's memory.
She was about to speak when Lu Zheng'an gave her a look that signaled her to be quiet, so she had no choice but to sit down with everyone else.
Since we had already ordered the food, the waiters started serving it as soon as we sat down.
Lu Ye politely explained, "Grandpa, to save time, we ordered the dishes in advance. I ordered them according to your usual preferences."
Ye Rufeng was easygoing, saying, "You don't have to revolve around me in everything. There are so many people here; you have to consider everyone's feelings."
Xie Yun quickly said, "Uncle Ye, we're not picky eaters, we can eat anything."
Ye Rufeng: "I'm not a picky eater either."
The old man always had a knack for killing the conversation with a single sentence.
Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun weren't very familiar with Ye Rufeng, and they were also eating with him with a respectful attitude, so they really didn't know how to respond to his words.
"How is your father's health? Why didn't he come over for a visit?" Ye Rufeng changed the subject and asked Lu Zheng'an.
Lu Zheng'an explained, "My father was worried that his body couldn't handle the long journey, so he didn't come. He gets dizzy when he sits in a car for a long time, and he is also taking care of his liver disease."
Ye Rufeng nodded. "Then let him take his medicine properly. If there are any problems, he can call us."
Ye Rufeng's kindness made Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun feel flattered, and they quickly and politely said, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Ye."
Once the food was served, Lu Zheng'an offered a cup of tea to Doctor Ye in lieu of wine, thanking him for taking care of Bai Zhi and Lu Ye.
Lu Zheng'an is, after all, a leader; he's very knowledgeable about dining etiquette and speaks with great eloquence.
Ye Rufeng said in a serious tone, "You don't need to be polite with me. One of them is my granddaughter, and the other is my nephew-in-law. I am family with them, so there's no need to stand on ceremony."
As soon as he said that, Lu Zheng'an changed the subject.
Indeed, continuing to express my gratitude would seem too formal.
Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun especially cherished the time they spent together as a family, as it was a rare opportunity for them to see their son and daughter-in-law.
But happy times are always short-lived, and meals always come to an end.
After dinner, Lu Zheng'an and the others went back to the hotel, while Ye Rufeng and Zhou Lin went back to their accommodation to rest.
As they left the restaurant, Ye Rufeng suddenly looked at Wang Shufen, who had remained silent and kept a low profile at the table, and asked, "How is your rheumatoid arthritis now? Has it recurred?"
Wang Shufen didn't expect Ye Rufeng to ask her about it.
To her even greater surprise, Dr. Ye actually remembered that she had rheumatoid arthritis.
Has she finally remembered who she is?
She quickly said, "Uncle Ye, I'm recovering very well and I'm still taking medication for rheumatoid arthritis."
Wang Shufen stopped there and didn't continue.
"Well, since you're here, come find me tomorrow after you're done with your work, and I'll take your pulse again." Ye Rufeng said, then strode ahead.
Wang Shufen was overjoyed and hurriedly chased after him to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Uncle Ye, thank you."
Wang Shufen was overjoyed. Doctor Ye had personally spoken to her today, saying he would take her pulse and give her a follow-up examination tomorrow.
Then she has achieved half of her purpose in coming here.
Finally, I don't have to worry about not being able to see a doctor anymore.
As long as the divine physician examined her pulse and prescribed a new medicine.
This increases the hope of a complete cure.
Once they reached the street, Ye Rufeng saw that they were still following him, so he said, "Alright, you don't need to see me off anymore. Go and get some rest. See you tomorrow."
"Uncle Ye, let us see you off. You can also get familiar with the area here."
The restaurant wasn't far from Ye Rufeng's residence. The group strolled to Ye Rufeng's place and took a look at the location of the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
"Dad, Mom, look, this is our clinic. The signboard is already up, and we'll unveil it tomorrow."
Lu Zheng'an looked up at the plaque wrapped in red silk and couldn't help but sigh, "That's wonderful, my daughter-in-law is really capable."
This was the first time Lu Zheng'an had praised her so directly, affirming her abilities. Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you for your affirmation, Dad."
Afterwards, Lu Ye and Bai Zhi went to the hotel with Lu Zheng'an and the others, planning to go home after they were settled in.
Once inside the hotel room, Lu Zheng'an took out several envelopes containing money.
"Xiao Zhi, this is a small token of your appreciation from your grandfather and sister."
"There's also a gift from Xie Zheng and your grandparents. And this one is from your mom and me."
Bai Zhi looked at the three envelopes Lu Zheng'an took out and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've made everyone spend money again."
Lu Zheng'an said, "Everyone is very happy and proud that you opened a clinic here. However, it is inconvenient for everyone to come over due to the long distance, so we asked you to convey our good wishes to you."
Bai Zhi naturally accepted everyone's good wishes. She spoke generously, "Okay, then Mom and Dad, when you go back, please thank Grandpa, Grandpa Xie, my sister, and Xie Zheng for me."
She looked at Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun and added, "Dad, Mom, thank you too."
Wang Shufen followed them in, and when she saw her elder brother and sister-in-law giving Bai Zhi a red envelope, she felt a little embarrassed because she hadn't prepared one.
Lu Shaoan called to say he would come tomorrow, so she naturally hadn't prepared any of these things, thinking that Lu Shaoan would naturally give Bai Zhi a red envelope tomorrow.
She and Lu Shaoan are husband and wife, so a red envelope will suffice.
Wang Shufen could only awkwardly laugh and explain to Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, when your second uncle comes tomorrow, your second uncle and I will give you our blessings."
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Second Aunt, there's no need to be so polite. We're all family. Lu Ye and I are very happy that you've come."
Bai Zhi was polite and knew her place, which made Wang Shufen feel less awkward.
After gesturing for Bai Zhi to put the money away, Lu Zheng'an said, "You two should go back and rest early; you'll be busy tomorrow."
"Okay, we'll be going now. You all should get some rest too, and remember to lock the door."
