Chapter 57 An unexpected surprise
Chen Wen knelt on the ground, tears welling in her eyes. "Li Ying, I was blind to the value of gold and jade before and offended you. Please forgive me for my mistakes. Please treat my grandfather!"
Li Ying looked at Chen Wen calmly, "Everyone in your Chen family studied medicine. Don't you have any way to diagnose your grandfather's condition?"
Chen Wen hung her head in shame. "I'm not very skilled and can't diagnose the cause of the problem. I consulted other doctors, and they said there was something growing in Grandpa's head and it couldn't be cured."
Li Ying said calmly: "In that case, it's useless for you to come to me. I am a doctor, not a god."
The so-called resurrection requires that the patient have a chance of survival. A patient who is too old and has something growing in his head cannot be saved even by a great immortal, let alone her?
"I understand these principles, but my grandfather has been calling your name in a daze these days. I think my grandfather must be unable to let go of something and wants to see you. Li Ying, please put aside the past grudges, go to the Chen family, and listen to my grandfather's voice, okay? Please!" Chen Wen begged bitterly.
Li Ying is not a heartless person. After she said so much, it would be really unkind for her to insist on it.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Chen Wen's eyes immediately filled with tears of gratitude.
Li Ying followed Chen Wen to Chen's house and went straight into Mr. Chen's bedroom.
There was a faint smell of herbs lingering in the room.
Chen Wen walked to the bed and called softly, "Grandpa, I've invited Li Ying here."
Old Chen opened his eyes slightly and struggled to sit up.
"Mr. Chen, just lie down. If you have anything to say, just say it." Li Ying was very respectful to her seniors.
Old Chen looked haggard and much older. He said to Chen Wen, "Wenwen, go to Grandpa's study and bring over the bookshelf that Grandpa has collected."
"good."
Chen Wen got up and went to the study to get something.
Li Ying stood still with her hands hanging down, looking at Old Chen's white hair, and couldn't help feeling pity.
Everyone will have such a day in old age, but the desolation of old age is the most heartbreaking.
But no one can stop this natural law.
Old man Chen leaned against the bed with cloudy eyes.
"Li Ying, you've probably heard about my illness."
"Mr. Chen is also a leading figure in the medical field. Should he have a way to treat himself?"
Old Chen smiled bitterly: "You are wrong, my reputation is fake."
Li Ying listened quietly.
"You mentioned my grandfather before, and I'm ashamed. My father worked tirelessly to promote Traditional Chinese Medicine, and my mother, to preserve it, established a family rule that all members of the Chen family must learn Traditional Chinese Medicine. Unfortunately, I'm not very talented and can't learn Traditional Chinese Medicine. Over the years, people have respected me as "Old Chen" because of the good reputation left by my parents."
Old Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Wen had already walked in with a sandalwood box.
"Open it." Old Chen ordered.
Chen Wen opened the box, which contained several thread-bound ancient Chinese books.
"This is..." Chen Wen's eyes lit up and she looked at Old Chen.
Li Ying took a look and found that the box contained ancient medical books that had been lost.
"This is an ancient medical book collected by my parents. I'm giving it to you."
What?
Li Ying was shocked.
She and Mr. Chen were just casual acquaintances, and they didn't even have much interaction. She also had some conflicts with Chen Wen. How could Mr. Chen refuse to give her these valuable things?
"Mr. Chen, I think you should pass these medical books on to your descendants."
Li Ying is not a greedy person. She never likes to ask for things that do not belong to her.
Elder Chen nodded slightly. "You're right. That's the family rule of our Chen family. But since me, our Chen family hasn't had any capable doctors. My son gave up medicine to pursue literature, and my grandsons were disdainful and all went to join the army. Only Wenwen wanted to please me and chose to study medicine. But she's not naturally bright. She's okay with Western medicine, but not Chinese medicine."
Chen Wen was depressed because her grandfather had said such bad things about her in front of outsiders.
"Li Ying, since you have heard about my parents' deeds, you are destined to be with them. These ancient books should be given to people who can understand them, instead of being sealed in a box and gathering dust." Mr. Chen's words were sincere and heartfelt.
Li Ying looked at those ancient books. To be honest, ancient books are difficult to understand. People who are not careful and serious cannot learn them. It is not easy to find people who can understand them.
Chen Wen turned to look at Li Ying: "This is my grandfather's long-cherished wish. Li Ying, please promise my grandfather and accept these ancient books."
Chen Wen is very self-aware. She knows that she cannot understand these books, otherwise her grandfather would have given them to her to study long ago.
"I can accept these books, but I have one condition. Please, Mr. Chen, accept me as your grandson!"
Li Ying already has a master, so she cannot become another disciple. However, Mr. Chen's intention is so sincere, so she will become his goddaughter. In this way, it will be reasonable for her to take these ancient books.
Elder Chen's eyes lit up, and he raised his trembling hands and asked in disbelief, "Really? Are you really willing to be my granddaughter?"
"really!"
Mr. Chen may not have done anything great, but his profound understanding of justice is enough for her to call him grandpa.
Old Chen burst into tears, "Okay, okay, Wenwen, go get Aunt Yang and help me get cleaned up. I want to acknowledge this granddaughter today. Put an announcement in the newspaper and let the world know."
Chen Wen nodded.
In the living room of the Chen family, Mr. Chen sat in high spirits, and Li Ying served him tea respectfully.
"Grandpa, please have some tea!"
Old Chen burst into tears and took the tea bowl with trembling hands.
"Okay, dear grandson, Grandpa has some tea."
Mr. Chen took a sip of tea and then solemnly handed the sandalwood box to Li Ying.
Chen Wen personally saw Li Ying out.
"Li Ying, don't forget, we still have a competition at the end of the year!" Chen Wen's tone is not so arrogant now.
Li Ying smiled faintly: "I won't forget, but I remind you that your Academician Cao is not a good person."
Li Ying gave a sincere reminder for the sake of the ancient book, and then strode away.
Chen Wen fell into deep thought.
Academician Cao really offended Li Ying a lot!
Li Ying returned to the courtyard with the box in her arms, and the scene before her instantly soured her mood.
In the yard, Ye Jingchi and Jing Yingyan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, were exchanging glances.
"Captain Ye, you are blocking my sun!" Jing Yingyan raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, looking arrogant.
Ye Jingchi condemned coldly: "Captain Jing, you are joking. This sun does not belong to me alone. I can't block it."
Jing Yingyan squeezed the watering can in his hand, a smile on his lips: "Captain Ye should understand that some love is like sand. The tighter you hold it, the faster it flows."
"Captain Jing should understand that some relationships are destined to be together, and no one can destroy them just because they want to."
Li Ying could hear the sharp conflict in the two people's words. She held her forehead and was about to speak when Hua Chenyue came over carrying a pot of flowers.
"Sister Yingying, what do you think of this pot of roses?"
