Chapter 234 Extraordinary Talent
However, the two families have not yet officially engaged.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhiyu quickly turned sideways.
"Don't be like this, it's just a piece of cake, anyone would do the same."
He paused, then asked in a low voice, "How did the brother who was injured last time become?"
Jiang Lihong frowned slightly.
"The injury isn't particularly serious, just some muscle and bone damage. The doctor said I need to recuperate for a hundred days. I'm still lying in bed and can't get out of bed. The slightest movement causes severe pain."
Xiao Zhiyu nodded calmly.
"As long as everyone is safe, that's good. As for the rest, it's not too late to take your time."
Seeing that the two had been chatting for such a long time and Jiang Lihong had no intention of leaving, Ruan Chuxia spoke up to break the silence.
"Are you here to see Teacher Deng?"
A smile reappeared on Jiang Lihong's face.
"Yes, Grandpa Deng and my grandfather have been friends for many years. We've been visiting each other for as long as I can remember. I stopped by today and brought some homemade snacks. I wanted to give them to Grandpa Deng to try, and also to see how he's doing lately."
As she spoke, she raised the food box in her hand.
Ruan Chuxia understood as soon as she heard it. It turned out that he was an old acquaintance of Mr. Deng.
She was about to respond, but she saw Jiang Lihong's eyes fixed on her face.
Jiang Lihong noticed that Ruan Chuxia had just called Mr. Deng "Teacher Deng".
This detail made her heart move.
Thinking back to that day in the mall, Ruan Chuxia treated the injuries with such professionalism that it was not something an ordinary person could have.
Her eyes widened and she stood there in a daze.
Her face was filled with shock and disbelief.
"Could it be... that you're the disciple Grandpa Deng specifically went to Shenzhen to recruit? The one he boasted to everyone about, saying, 'This child can inherit my medical skills.'"
Ruan Chuxia couldn't help but smile when she saw her like this.
"Yes, it's me. I didn't expect Teacher Deng to mention me so often."
Jiang Lihong's lips were slightly open, but no sound came out.
She knew it all too well.
At that time, Grandpa Deng had just returned from Shenzhen and was in high spirits.
He took her grandfather to sit in the yard and drink tea.
When talking about the young apprentice far away in the south, his face was full of unconcealable pride.
"This child is extremely talented and has a calm mind. In the future, he will not only be the successor of the medical art, but also my companion in my old age and death!"
Jiang Lihong still remembers this sentence clearly.
The closed disciple whom she had never met became a mysterious and desirable existence in her heart.
She has been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine since she was young with her grandfather and has great respect for Grandpa Deng's skills.
Her grandfather and Grandpa Deng had a very close relationship.
But no matter how she expressed her interest, Grandpa Deng never mentioned taking her as a student.
Not to mention the title of "closed disciple", which is of great importance.
Who would have thought that fate would be so wonderful.
The talented disciple she had dreamed of countless times.
He is her benefactor!
Jiang Lihong's eyes suddenly lit up.
A look of great surprise appeared on her face, and she grabbed Ruan Chuxia's hand.
"Oh, it's really you! I've always heard Grandpa Deng talk about you, saying you're smart, thoughtful, and a great doctor. You're a rare talent that only comes once in a century! I never thought I'd actually see you today!"
Ruan Chuxia was just about to respond to Jiang Lihong's words.
The wooden door in front of me suddenly creaked.
Deng Chengxin stuck his head out from the crack of the door and frowned slightly on purpose.
"Have you three had enough of standing outside chatting? I've been listening in for ages, my ears are almost callused. Why don't you come in? Why are you standing at the door like a door god?"
Ruan Chuxia quickly stood up straight and shouted.
"Teacher Deng."
Deng Chengxin still had a stern face, and a low "hmm" sound came out of his nose.
He raised his hand and patted the door frame.
"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? The wind is blowing the door so hard that no one can get in! Come in quickly!"
Jiang Lihong unconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, wondering if what she had just said was too rash.
…
Mrs. Min came out from behind the door, her eyes full of kindness.
"Are you here? Come on in, don't stand at the door. The wind is cold, it's more comfortable to talk inside."
Wei Chenglu looked at the scene in the yard, his eyes full of curiosity and shock.
This was the first time she had seen a house like this.
Ruan Chuxia gently took her arm.
"Sister Cheng Lu, just stay here and don't worry. The people here are very nice, and Sister Min's cooking is delicious."
She took Wei Chenglu into the yard.
Guo Huaqin was bending over, pruning branches.
Hearing footsteps, she straightened up and walked quickly to meet them.
"This is Xiao Wei, right? I've heard Ruan Chuxia mention you a long time ago, and I'm finally meeting you. Come in and sit down, don't stand while talking."
“This is my mother-in-law.”
Ruan Chuxia introduced with a smile.
Wei Chenglu nodded quickly.
“This place is so comfortable.”
She couldn't help but sigh.
Guo Huaqin followed him to the door, smiled and waved her hand: "You guys chat, I won't disturb you."
Xiao Zhiyu had already taken Xiaojun out.
Wei Chenglu was deeply attracted by the layout of the room.
She was particularly sensitive to pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and at a glance, she could tell that those calligraphy and paintings were definitely not ordinary things.
Such a family is not only wealthy, but also has a profound cultural heritage.
"Sister Cheng Lu, please sit down and rest for a while."
Ruan Chuxia greeted her and poured her a cup of hot tea.
"Have some tea to warm yourself up. The wind is quite cold today."
Wei Chenglu took the cup of warm tea and took a sip slowly.
She looked up at Ruan Chuxia and spoke softly.
"Xiao Ruan, do you have something to tell me? Don't keep it in your heart. Do we still need to hide it between us?"
Ruan Chuxia pursed her lips, and finally, she mustered up the courage to speak.
"Sister Cheng Lu, I...actually, I just wanted to ask you, have you ever had your fallopian tubes checked? I mean, you and Old Zhang... have been together for so long, isn't it time to get some more tests to confirm this?"
Wei Chenglu was startled for a moment, then quickly regained his composure.
After a moment, her tone revealed a hint of helplessness.
"You're worried about that? I've already checked. Back in Hong Kong, Old Zhang was incredibly attentive and accompanied me through a full set of tests. There were no issues with my fallopian tubes. He also did a sperm analysis, and the results were normal. Everything's clearly fine, but I just can't get pregnant."
She shook her head slightly.
"Sometimes I wonder if God is punishing me. When I was young, I always thought I could have children whenever I wanted, and I didn't take marriage and childbirth seriously. Now that I want them, I can't have them. Do you think this is karma?"
Ruan Chuxia's heart suddenly ached, and her eyes couldn't help but feel hot.
She didn't say much and gently held Wei Chenglu's slightly cold hand.
"Sister Cheng Lu, since the examination results are all normal, it means your health is good. Western medicine may not always be able to find all the problems. How about I take you to see Master Deng tomorrow? He's my teacher and a famous Chinese medicine doctor in Beijing. He has a special way of regulating the body. Maybe... he can help."
Luo Yu withdrew his hand and shook his head.
"No need. I've tried a lot of Chinese and Western medicine, as well as folk remedies, but nothing has helped. I don't want to go through all this trouble anymore. It's too tiring."
She paused, "Besides, I have decided to divorce Lao Zhang."
Ruan Chuxia was completely stunned.
