God loves to play jokes; these two people always seem to appear everywhere.
"She's my wife, so of course she's wherever I am. Does Company Commander Lu have a problem with that?"
His tone was exactly like Li Ying's. Lu Xingzhou gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "Battalion Commander Ye, that's not what I meant."
"It'd better not be!" Ye Jingchi's voice was quite authoritative, and even though the volume wasn't very high, it carried an undeniable domineering aura.
Rong Ning gritted her teeth inwardly. Why was Li Ying everywhere? Why did she always appear in front of her and Xing Zhou? Was she unable to let go of Xing Zhou?
Grandma Hua stepped forward with a smile and shook Rong Ning's hand: "You must be Master Qian's apprentice?"
Rong Ning smiled faintly, lowered her eyes, and nodded slightly.
She needed to appear humble and cautious, and to make herself seem befitting of Qian Lao's disciple.
Lu Xingzhou said that the Hua family is a prestigious family in the capital. Only with the support of the Hua family can she and Xingzhou thrive in the capital in the future.
"Then hurry up and go in to see Chenyue!" Grandma Hua urged anxiously.
Hua Qingqing wanted to speak, but her mother shook her head and interrupted her, respectfully inviting Rong Ning and Lu Xingzhou into the courtyard.
Hua gently went up and pulled her cousin, Hua Zhen.
"Hua Zhen, is the person you invited really Master Qian's apprentice?"
Hua Zhen wasn't entirely sure. He had just run into Lu Xingzhou during military training a few days ago and heard him say that his wife had been admitted to the military district through special procedures. Upon asking, he learned that she was a disciple of Master Qian. So, he invited Lu Xingzhou and Rong Ning to come and examine Chen Yue. As for whether she was indeed a disciple of Master Qian, Hua Zhen hadn't actually verified it.
"Cousin, why are you asking this?"
“My sister-in-law is also skilled in medicine, and very skilled at it. During the flood relief efforts in Donghu in June, her prescriptions not only ensured the post-disaster reconstruction, but also provided the military region with an exclusive secret formula,” Hua Qingqing briefly described Li Ying’s abilities.
Hua Zhen was also very surprised after hearing this and looked at Li Ying.
Is what my cousin said true?
“It’s true, I can testify that I led the flood relief team in June,” Ye Jingchi said from the side.
If Hua Qingqing had said it herself, Hua Zhen would have considered it, but since Ye Jingchi also said it, he hesitated.
He and Ye Jingchi were in the same company before. Later, he chose to retire and take over the family business, but he greatly admired Ye Jingchi's character.
"grandmother!"
Hua Zhen called out to the group of people who were about to go in, awkwardly touching his nose: "This is the heroine who sent the exclusive secret recipe to the military region during the flood relief efforts in Donghu in June. Why don't we let her go in and take a look too?"
The newspapers did report on Li Ying's act of sending the secret recipe during the flood relief efforts, but they didn't include a photo of Li Ying; otherwise, the Hua family wouldn't have reacted this way.
“Don’t be fooled by her. She doesn’t have any secret formulas and she can’t cure diseases at all. Those formulas were given to her by Rong Ning.” Lu Xingzhou believed Rong Ning’s words.
Rong Ning happened to be back at East Lake that time, and she met Li Ying there.
Li Ying smiled faintly, looking at Rong Ning, whose expression remained unchanged, "Did you say that?"
Rong Ning's nails almost dug into her flesh, but she remained calm because she didn't believe Li Ying had any secret recipe; she thought it was just a hoax.
“Li Ying, you’ve been staying in the countryside all the time. The villagers say you just do laundry and cook every day. How could you possibly know any medical skills? Saving lives is no joke. Don’t be reckless. It would be terrible if someone died.”
"Exactly! My grandson is very precious. He can't be treated by just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Only Master Qian's apprentice is qualified to treat my grandson. You're not one! Based on just a prescription, I think it's better to forget about it!" Grandma Hua had a preconceived notion and transferred her resentment towards Hua Qingqing onto Li Ying, so she didn't like her very much.
"Grandma, why don't we let them all go in and take a look?"
Hua Zhen felt it was good to go and see everyone, and let whoever had the ability treat them.
Rong Ning smiled gently: "How about letting Sister Li Ying come in with us?"
She knew that Li Ying was stubborn and would never follow her around.
Sure enough, Li Ying smiled: "I don't like going to the doctor with other people, and I especially don't like going to the doctor with someone who is ignorant and incompetent. So you can only choose one, me or her?"
Rong Ning wanted to establish a kind and gentle image. Fine, she would grant her wish. Just as she said, treating illnesses is no child's play. She only studied nursing and was far from being qualified to treat patients, yet she still wanted to put on airs. So, she would naturally give her this opportunity to prove herself.
The Hua family is a powerful force that anyone can cling to.
Grandma Hua disliked the girl's tone, as it was too forceful.
Hua opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say a few good words for Li Ying.
Grandma Hua snorted coldly: "So arrogant! You have no medical ethics whatsoever, what kind of doctor are you? And you! Don't come to the Hua family again, you're a disgrace!"
I don't know where they found this barefoot doctor, and he even wants to show his face at the Hua family's house.
Li Ying could tell that this meant Rong Ning was the one she was choosing, so she didn't try to curry favor with him and turned to get into the car.
Ye Jingchi got into the car.
Looking at Hua Qingqing, Hua's mother felt sorry for her daughter, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of the old lady. She could only shake her head vigorously at her daughter.
Hua Qingqing looked at Hua Zhen again.
Hua Zhen shrugged, helpless; Li Ying was too arrogant.
He tried to persuade her to come in and see the doctor together, but she refused, and Hua Zhen couldn't do anything about it.
Hua got into the car, feeling dejected.
Li Ying said calmly, "If you want to maintain contact with your family, don't fawn over them like this. You should make them beg you."
Hua Qingqing said with concern, "What if..."
If that woman were Qian Lao's apprentice, and she had saved her brother, she would have had even less chance to return to her parents' home.
"She's only a nursing major; she doesn't know how to treat patients."
Li Ying smiled faintly again: "Your brother's illness is not an acute one, so it won't delay treatment. Just wait patiently for a few days."
Hua Qingqing was half-believing and half-doubting.
Rong Ning was warmly invited to Hua Chenyue's room. She was already familiar with Hua Chenyue's condition and thought that a few acupuncture needles would cure him, since she had indeed secretly learned acupuncture.
After Rong Ning removed the needle, Hua Chenyue moved his hand slightly.
"Mom, look, Chenyue's hand is moving!" Mother Hua cried tears of joy.
Grandma Hua was overjoyed, tears streaming down her face: "There's finally hope for Chen Yue!"
Rong Ning also breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected the needles to be so effective. She was secretly delighted, and her face showed no sign of her joy.
"Quickly, please invite Miss Rong to rest in the front yard!" Grandma Hua was grateful to Rong Ning and respected her immensely.
Lu Xingzhou was also shocked by Rong Ning's move and was very happy, so he held Rong Ning's hand.
“Ningning, you…”
Rong Ning smiled gently: "I already told you, I'm Master Qian's apprentice, would I lie to you!"
Lu Xingzhou gripped Rong Ning's hand tightly, thanking heavens that he had chosen Rong Ning and abandoned the arrogant Li Ying.
I really don't know what got into Ye Jingchi that made him marry a divorced woman.
"Chen Yue! Chen Yue!"
Suddenly, screams of terror came from inside the house from Grandma Hua and Mom Hua.
