Upon hearing this, Old Master Huangfu was worried that he would be laughed at by the younger generation, so he tried his best to suppress the painful emotions on his face.
With a nonchalant expression, he said, "What's this? This old man has weathered many storms; this little bit of pain is nothing to me."
Just follow your own steps, don't worry about... ah... me!
Before he could finish speaking, Old Master Huangfu felt unbearable pain all over his body and couldn't help but tear off the mask he had painstakingly put on. In an instant, a look of pain appeared on his face, followed by an embarrassed look.
Old Master Huangfu hadn't expected the slap in the face to come so quickly, giving him no time to prepare.
The thought of being seen by friends and younger relatives made me feel incredibly embarrassed; I wished I could disappear into the ground.
Jian Yixue was used to this. Others might not know the symptoms caused by this acupuncture technique, but as the person administering the acupuncture, she knew it all too well.
She learned this acupuncture technique under her master's guidance, and later found more refined steps and explanations in a manual in the space, combining the two to form the technique.
The effects are self-evident, but of course, the pain it causes is also exacerbated.
The further you go, the harder it becomes to endure.
Hearing what Old Master Huangfu was saying, Old Master Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud when a sudden scream rang out.
"Haha... Old man Huangfu, this is quite a slap in the face! Tsk tsk tsk!" Old Master Ye mocked deliberately.
The already ashamed old man, Mr. Huangfu, became displeased upon hearing this.
Ignoring the previous embarrassment, he spoke up, "Old man Ye, you've gone too far. In front of the younger generation, you should at least show some respect as an elder."
"And yet you still insist on maintaining your dignity, old man Huangfu... Hahaha... I'm sorry... I just couldn't help myself."
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
You can do anything, just don't get carried away.
Before Old Master Ye could finish his joke, a series of uncontrollable coughs echoed in the ward.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan, who was standing beside Old Master Ye, frowned and reached out to pat Old Master Ye on the back.
It took a while for Old Master Ye to recover.
Hearing the cough, Jian Yixue, who was administering acupuncture, quickly put down the gold needles in her hand and stopped, looking at Old Master Ye with a furrowed brow.
"Grandpa, don't forget you're still a patient. You just had abdominal surgery yesterday. If you keep getting so emotional, go back to bed!" Jian Yixue said, feigning seriousness.
Grandpa Ye was already bedridden, but she saw that he had repeatedly said he wanted to see her, and since she was there herself, she figured there shouldn't be any major problems, so she agreed.
Upon hearing Jian Yixue's voice, Old Master Ye instantly deflated.
He had to beg and plead for a long time before Xue Yatou agreed to let him sit here, and she even had Mo Han supervise him from the side at all times.
He doesn't want to be packed up and sent back right now.
Old Master Huangfu, who was standing to the side, had been itching to give Old Master Ye a good beating after hearing his words.
Suddenly hearing his cough, his brows furrowed instantly.
He knew that the old man had just undergone surgery yesterday, and that he had narrowly escaped death. His body was certainly not fully recovered yet.
Although the old man seemed no different from usual when we met today, if you listened carefully, you would find that his voice was actually weak.
Therefore, he didn't want to argue with the old man about this embarrassing issue anymore.
Seeing that the old man Ye had calmed down, Jian Yixue said to Ye Mohan, who was standing to the side, "Mohan, keep an eye on Grandpa for me. If he gets agitated again, carry him back to bed for me."
Watching the interaction between the old man and Jian Yixue, Ye Mohan couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Who would have thought that the old man, who had once dominated the business world for many years, would have this side to him.
As expected, there's always someone who can overcome someone else; Xue'er is practically Grandpa's nemesis.
With Xue'er around, things aren't as bad as they used to be.
Especially his relationship with the old man.
In his time with Xue'er, Ye Mohan discovered that he was no longer the cold and indifferent person he once was.
Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue, smiled slightly, and nodded.
"Okay. Xue'er, you go ahead with your work. I'll keep an eye on things and make sure he doesn't ruin your efforts."
Hearing this, Jian Yixue felt a warmth in her heart.
Ye Mohan understood her best. She knew that as a doctor, what she disliked most was patients who ruined her work and were uncooperative.
Just as I was about to speak, a voice rang out.
"You heartless wretch! I've raised you for so many years, and you're still helping Xue'er bully an old man like me," Old Master Ye said, feigning reproach.
After hearing this, Ye Mohan remained completely still.
He seemed not to have heard what Old Master Ye said at all, his gaze fixed on Jian Yixue.
Seeing Jian Yixue standing next to the shirtless old man Huangfu, he was not in a good mood.
Upon hearing Old Master Ye's words, Jian Yixue, seeing that Ye Mohan had no reaction, naturally chose to ignore them as well.
He turned around and continued to perform acupuncture on Grandpa Huangfu.
Before long, Jane Yixue had completed all the acupuncture.
The old man Huangfu, who had been shirtless, now had his upper body covered with uneven gold needles.
Old Master Huangfu was also in great pain at this moment, not to mention the cold sweat on his forehead.
At this moment, all that could be seen was that the old master Huangfu's hands, which were resting on his knees, had been clenched into fists at some point, with some blue veins bulging on the back of his hands, as well as on both sides of his head.
