Chapter 4 I Can Save Him
Ruan Chuxia's expression became serious. The old man's condition could no longer be delayed.
She walked up to Xiao Zhenwu with a serious expression, "Uncle Xiao, please let me try."
Seeing Xiao Zhenwu hesitate, she continued, "The situation is extremely urgent now. If we delay any further, it will be too late. My family has been practicing medicine for generations, and my grandfather is a nationally renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. I have studied medicine with my mother since I was a child and have seen many difficult-to-treat diseases."
"As for the old man's condition, I believe I can help him recover."
"You said your family has been doctors for generations?"
Xiao Zhenwu and Guo Huaqin looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
Guo Huaqin looked at Ruan Chuxia again and took a deep breath.
"Even if your family really has been doctors for generations, you are still young after all. You grew up in the countryside. How capable can you really be?"
"Even the most authoritative doctors in Beijing can't cure this old man's illness!"
Ruan Chuxia lowered her eyes.
After looking up at the old man lying in bed, she said, "You've been having nightmares every day lately. You often sit up suddenly at night and talk in your sleep, and you cough violently in the morning, right?"
"Why do you know this?"
Guo Huaqin asked doubtfully, her eyes full of disbelief.
It turned out that the daughter-in-law in front of her was not as simple as she had imagined.
Ruan Chuxia smiled.
“These things are obvious to me.”
"I can list many more symptoms."
Ruan Chuxia continued.
"If you don't believe me, you can compare what I said with the diagnosis of the doctor in the city before."
She was absolutely sure of her judgment.
"this……"
Guo Huaqin hesitated, thinking that she might have underestimated her daughter-in-law.
I originally thought she was just an ignorant country girl, but I didn't expect her to be so capable.
Xiao Zhiwei, who was standing nearby, became impatient and shouted, "Alright, this isn't the place for you to mess around. Please leave now!"
Ruan Chuxia raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
She always felt that her sister-in-law seemed very dissatisfied with her?
She pondered this in her heart but did not show it.
She didn't understand how she had offended her.
But she wasn't afraid at all.
"I'm not messing around. I really want to save the old man."
"If you don't believe me, you can consult a Chinese doctor. I can..."
Ruan Chuxia continued, hoping to convince Xiao Zhiwei.
"Even if you're right, so what?!"
Xiao Zhiwei interrupted her with a mocking tone.
She seemed to completely distrust Ruan Chuxia and was even a little hostile.
"His illness isn't actually difficult to diagnose. Any doctor with a bit of experience can tell at a glance what's wrong. But the key is, no one can cure it!"
Xiao Zhiwei made no secret of his disdain for Ruan Chuxia.
From the very beginning, she opposed the marriage arranged by her grandfather!
Her brother is also fully qualified to find a better wife...
However, in the face of all this, Ruan Chuxia was not angry or annoyed.
After so many years of struggling in the business world, if she had lost her temper over a few harsh words, she would not have been able to successfully sign so many contracts!
Just as she was about to speak, a man's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Let her try."
These words instantly changed the atmosphere in the room.
Ruan Chuxia was stunned at first, then quickly raised her head and looked outside the door.
A burly man in military uniform walked into the room.
His eyes were cold and he stared at her intently.
He walked up to Ruan Chuxia and stopped.
"Zhiyu, you are finally back?"
Guo Huaqin's eyes immediately lit up, and she stood up from her seat almost immediately, pulling Xiao Zhiyu's arm.
Xiao Zhenwu, who was always serious, softened his expression. He just frowned and looked at his son with some confusion. He asked, "Zhiyu, who do you want to try? What do you mean?"
Xiao Zhiyu looked at Ruan Chuxia's charming and beautiful face.
He observed her quietly for a while, as if trying to read something from her expression, but finally he slowly looked away.
Xiao Zhiyu said in a deep voice: "I once heard my grandfather say that her mother's family, the Jin family, has been practicing medicine for generations."
He then added, "The Jin family's ancestors were imperial physicians, and their tradition has spanned hundreds of years. Old Master Jin is a renowned master of traditional Chinese medicine, and it's said he has cured countless patients. The Jin family's medical skills are exceptional. If she truly inherited Old Master Jin's true teachings, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let her give it a try."
Ruan Chuxia raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing this.
She didn't expect that the man in front of her, who looked so cold, would say such words.
She asked tentatively, "Do you believe me?"
Xiao Zhiyu looked down at her calmly.
The woman in front of me has a delicate face.
Especially those eyes that seem to be able to speak, which makes people feel moved.
Xiao Zhiyu's eyes became even deeper, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and then he responded in a slightly hoarse voice: "I just want you to try."
Hearing this, Ruan Chuxia smiled.
She thanked him: "Thank you for trusting me!"
Her tense nerves finally relaxed.
This man seems to be much easier to talk to than imagined!
Before this, she thought Xiao Zhiyu was the type who had no interest in women at all.
Unexpectedly...
He's actually pretty good!
Thinking of this, she felt secretly relieved, but at the same time she couldn't help but sigh.
"Zhi Yu!" Xiao Zhiwei looked at him dissatisfiedly, his brows tightly furrowed.
"How could you let an outsider treat Grandpa? Don't you know it's dangerous? If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"
"What's more, she comes from the countryside..."
“That’s enough!”
Xiao Zhiyu interrupted him in a deep voice, his brows slightly furrowed.
"She's my fiancée, how can she be an outsider? Is it appropriate for you to say that?"
"Besides, she's someone Grandpa approved of. So what if she came from the countryside? Three generations of our Xiao family also came from that countryside. We shouldn't judge people based on their origins."
"Hey! I love what Zhiyu said!"
Xiao Zhenwu slapped his thigh, his eyes becoming stern as he said earnestly, "Zhiwei, you're just like your mother, always looking down on people from rural areas. Our ancestors weren't even farmers! You're simply forgetting your roots by doing this now."
"Since Zhiyu said it's okay, let Xiao Ruan give it a try. She's the daughter-in-law of our Xiao family and knows medicine. The old man's condition can't get any worse now! We should give her a chance."
Guo Huaqin was still a little hesitant.
She glanced at Xiao Zhiyu and found that Xiao Zhiyu, who usually seemed to have little interest in women, was staring at the girl intently at this moment, and suddenly she had a new idea.
"Then... let Xiao Ruan try?"
