Chapter 749 She betrayed me
Cheng Han looked much older, and his complexion didn't look very good when he just woke up.
But those eyes still looked bright. He waved to Qiao Xi when he saw her come in.
Qiao Xi's eyes turned red and tears fell instantly.
"Grandpa Cheng! You scared me to death. You haven't woken up for such a long time. I was really worried that something was wrong with you." She was afraid that her medical skills were not good enough and she had made a wrong diagnosis.
But when I take Cheng Han's pulse normally, there is nothing wrong with it.
He was bruised all over and had blood clots in his brain.
Qiao Xi was worried that he would not wake up at his age, but now that he was awake, it meant that there was no big problem.
Cheng Han spoke weakly, "Don't cry, I'm awake now, right?"
When he woke up, he found that although his body was not strong, many of his wounds had been treated well.
This was done with care.
Qiao Xi wiped away her tears carelessly, crying and laughing.
She is always a child in front of Cheng Han.
"Grandpa Cheng, lie down. I'll give you another acupuncture..." Qiao Xi had many questions in her heart that she wanted him to answer, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know what to say. She could only spread out the needle bag and treat him first.
She twisted a long needle and inserted it into the acupuncture point of his hand.
The old man lying obediently on the hospital bed had heavy eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "A lot of things happened during the time I was in a coma, right?"
Qiao Xi responded softly, and then heard Cheng Han say.
"I was being targeted after arriving in the capital. At first, I didn't make any moves. Then, it seemed like they were going to kill me, so I had no choice but to head into the mountains. But those people were more professional, and after circling around for a while, I was eventually discovered. I had no choice but to run. Finally, I slipped and fell down the mountain..."
He thought he was dead.
But I didn't expect that he was still alive.
When he opened his eyes, he could see his little apprentice.
"You even marked me with a safety mark, so I thought you were safe. Why... did you come to the imperial capital?" Qiao Xi asked while giving me acupuncture.
Cheng Han let out a long breath and said, "This is a private matter of mine."
His usually serious face took on a bitter look as he looked at Qiao Xi and said, "I've never told you that I have a daughter. I married a country girl and had a daughter, but not long after, she left the child to me and ran away."
She despised him as a useless Chinese medicine practitioner who, when he was young, treated villagers for free and sometimes even paid for their medical expenses.
Life is very difficult.
The woman couldn't stand the poverty, so she ran to the wealthy Guangshen to look for opportunities.
In that era, many people went out to work and never heard from them again.
Cheng Han sent his daughter to live with relatives and began to pursue traditional Chinese medicine.
Later, his fame grew, but his relationship with his daughter was not close. They were just better than strangers, and he took his daughter in when she came of age.
Cheng Han rambled on and on about the past to Qiao Xi, "Her name was Cheng Qingnian, and she rarely called me father in front of others. So not many people knew about our father-daughter relationship. Later, I didn't even know that she fell in love with a man."
When Qiao Xi heard him admit that Cheng Qingnian was his daughter, she was still a little shocked.
"And then?"
A look of pain flashed across Cheng Han's eyes. "She's obsessed with that man, like a demon, because he betrayed me, her father. She stole all my years of experience in handwriting and the medical books compiled by my friends and gave them to him, and even tried to elope with him. She even gave me diarrhea medicine during the competition that year... How could I possibly be on guard against her!"
"We had a huge argument, and our relationship ended. I returned to Haicheng, and she stayed in the imperial capital. But soon, news came that she had committed suicide. Because the man already had a wife, she couldn't accept that she was a mistress. Since then... there has been no news."
Cheng Han also became disheartened and retired.
He felt that Chinese medicine had caused him to lose his wife and daughter, and that the people close to him had drifted away one by one.
"I went to the capital this time because I heard the news that she was alive. As a father, I can never let go of this friendship."
Qiao Xi felt very sad when she heard this. She said, "That man must be Lu Bannong. That competition twenty or thirty years ago was the one where he stepped on you to rise to the top and shined brightly."
Lu Bannong is a villain!
No wonder the Lu family's Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles has been fully integrated with the Nine Plum Blossom Needles! And the Shen family's Sparrow Pecking Technique!
Qiao Xi looked at him and said seriously, "Grandpa Cheng, I want to tell you something. Please don't get excited when you hear it."
"you say."
"Cheng Qingnian lives next door to you. I discovered she was your daughter a long time ago. So I tried to bring her back from Lu Bannong for treatment. She has severe narcolepsy!"
"What!"
Cheng Han's pupils constricted. "She's next door?"
"right!"
"I...I want to see her." Even though he was respected as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, he was still a poor father at this moment.
Seeing his anxious look, Qiao Xi said, "After the injection, I'll help you go over and take a look. I'm not sure about the treatment of narcolepsy, so it would be much better if you were here!"
Cheng Han could only lie on the bed, suppressing his temper, feeling that every minute and every second was torture.
Qiao Xi looked at him, a little hesitant but still didn't tell him.
Lu Yingxue is Cheng Qingnian's daughter and also his granddaughter!
Lu Yingxue has done so many bad things, but she is actually the granddaughter of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han. How ironic.
He will be sad.
Let's wait until he feels better before revealing anything.
Qiao Xi restrained her expression and said, "Grandpa Cheng, I know about Ayi. He is not dead, and he is now the young master of the Zhong family."
"Did you recognize each other?"
Cheng Han knew that this matter might not be kept secret for long, but he didn't expect that during the time he was in a coma, the outside world would be turned upside down.
"Yes. Same name, similar looks. Only I was so stupid as to keep denying my suspicions. In the end, I was sure he was Yi! I also understood your and his good intentions back then. You... were all trying to protect me."
Qiao Xi is not someone who can't tell good from bad.
Cheng Han nodded and said, "That's good. You don't have to feel guilty for the rest of your life."
Qiao Xi curved her eyes and smiled warmly.
She felt like she had forgotten to explain something, so after taking out the needle, she helped Cheng Han to go next door to see Cheng Qingnian.
Cheng Qingnian was emaciated, his eyes closed as he fell into a coma.
Cheng Han restrained his emotions and felt her pulse with tears in his eyes. Finally, he turned to Qiao Xi and said, "You go and do your work. I want to stay here for a while."
"Can you do it?"
"I've been nurturing these old bones for so long, it's time to loosen them up a bit."
Qiao Xi nodded, hiding the worry in her eyes, and gently closed the door.
She spoke a few words to the bodyguard at the door before going downstairs.
After a long time.
There were earth-shaking shouts coming from the villa!
