Fu Yunbin's Mandarin is quite standard, without any Hong Kong accent, but it also feels a little different from Mandarin.
Liu Ruonan looked up and looked at Fu Yunbin scrutinizingly. After thinking for a moment, she spoke leisurely.
"Boss Fu, what you mean is that as long as I can cure your son, you will pay all the medical expenses, right?"
"Yes, that's what I mean." Fu Yunbin's eyes were full of determination.
"Then you will also pay for my husband's medical expenses, right?" Liu Ruonan still looked at Fu Yunbin in disbelief, as if making a final inquiry.
Fu Yunbin nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Liu Ruonan finally raised a relaxed smile on her lips, looked at Fu Yunbin, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then it's a deal."
"Comrade, I just have one question." Fu Yunbin seemed to have his own concerns.
"You ask."
"I just talked to the old boss about my son's condition, and he wasn't sure. Are you really sure you can do it? Besides, you haven't learned about my son's condition in detail."
"It's not too late to find out now! You can give me a detailed introduction to your son's condition. I can't say anything else, but I can definitely cure my husband." Liu Ruonan's confident look also gave Fu Yunbin some confidence.
"Okay! How about this! Let's find a place to sit down and talk in detail, how about that?" Fu Yunbin asked inquiringly.
"Okay! Where do you want to go?"
"How about this? Since we've all met, it's fate. We have many guest rooms at Zhenyitang. If you don't mind, why don't you stay here?"
The one who spoke was the old boss. He seemed to have recovered from his previous look of surprise, but there was still something strange in his eyes when he looked at Liu Ruonan.
Liu Ruonan naturally noticed that this look seemed a little off. But after all, the old man was old, and many things couldn't be brought up openly, as it would embarrass him. Perhaps the old man just remembered some of his past after seeing her.
Hearing the old boss's words, Fu Yunbin did not immediately agree, but turned to look at Liu Ruonan, seeking her opinion. After all, he needed help now.
"I don't mean anything else. It is said that there are always people better than you. The little girl can be so confident about the condition that I am not sure about. I just want to learn from her. Maybe we can establish a cooperative relationship in the future!" The old boss seemed to feel that Liu Ruonan was hesitating, so he lowered his posture and looked like a humble gentleman.
Liu Ruonan was not a petty person. She smiled at the old boss, then looked at Fu Yunbin and nodded.
After receiving a positive answer, the old boss's somewhat nervous expression immediately turned into a smile.
The old man quickly told his son to make tea. The son always respected his father, so he went happily.
After a detailed discussion, Liu Ruonan learned that Fu Yunbin's son had also been shot in an accident, which had caused his current symptoms. Actually, his condition was exactly the same as Zhuang Sheng's.
After hearing this, Liu Ruonan felt more confident. Finally, she reached an agreement with Fu Yunbin: she would be responsible for treating the disease, while Fu Yunbin would be responsible for purchasing the medicine.
However, at the beginning, Fu Yunbin did not want to buy medicine from the old boss's clinic, fearing that his medicine was not authentic, and wanted to get medicine from Hong Kong.
But the old boss said that they had some business dealings with many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Hong Kong, and he would be responsible for purchasing the medicines. The goods would definitely be genuine and the prices would be fair, so that Fu Yunbin would not be deceived by middlemen because he did not understand this business.
Seeing Fu Yunbin's hesitation, the old boss explained that he wasn't trying to profit from the difference between them. Instead, he only paid them the wholesale price. However, the reason he gave was that he greatly admired Liu Ruonan, a girl who was only 18 years old. She had courage and medical skills, so he wanted to cooperate with her further.
That's how the deal was settled.
But there was still one difficult question. Liu Ruonan was silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"Boss Fu, my husband also needs my treatment, so I can't go to Hong Kong specifically to treat your son. Please see if you can send your son here. I will arrange for him to be treated at our home and together with my husband."
Fu Yunbin pretended to think for a moment before nodding and saying with understanding, "I can understand that."
He sighed deeply, feeling distressed at the thought of his son having to endure the hardships of traveling so long. But then he thought, maybe after this, his son would be able to stand up again.
This was a happy event after all, so he agreed.
"Okay! Then I'll take my son over."
Since Fu Yunbin was going to pick up his son, he naturally had to go back to Hong Kong. So, thinking that he had to appear more sincere in front of Liu Ruonan, he paid for the medicine that Liu Ruonan wanted to purchase this time.
Liu Ruonan was extremely grateful, and to express her sincerity, she wrote down her home address for Fu Yunbin.
When Liu Ruonan left, the old boss looked at her back and sighed deeply.
The shopkeeper looked at his father with great hesitation in his heart. Finally, he couldn't hold back his doubts and asked.
"Dad, but does this little girl look like your old friend? Why do you look at her with such complicated eyes?"
The old boss looked up at the shopkeeper and asked, "Did you figure it out?"
"Yeah! I see." The shopkeeper nodded.
"What's this little girl's name? Liu..."
"Liu Ruonan!"
"Yes! His last name is also Liu!" The old boss's words were meaningful, which made the shopkeeper even more confused.
Seeing the shopkeeper's difficulty guessing, the old boss smiled and explained, "This Liu Ruonan! She looks so much like your Aunt Zhao when she was young!"
The shopkeeper searched his mind for memories of the Aunt Zhao that the old boss had mentioned. Then, with a slightly frown on his face, he looked at the old boss and asked, "Dad, is the Aunt Zhao you're talking about the wife of your senior brother?"
The old boss nodded heavily, looking melancholy.
He had a senior brother. They were from the same sect, but they were very close, almost like brothers. They could be considered to have grown up together. The old master was only ten years old when he entered the sect, and his senior brother was only thirteen.
His senior brother also had the surname Liu and was named Liu Kaixu. But his senior brother was a man with a tragic fate.
Liu Kaixu was an orphan since childhood and was adopted by his master. In the end, seeing that he was talented and had a special talent for traditional Chinese medicine, he adopted him as his adopted son.
Liu Kaixu's wife is very beautiful, but now that I think about it, she looks exactly like Liu Ruonan.
