Chapter 242 - 242 Reason for Resistance
242 Reason for Resistance
Lu Qing still wanted to say something to persuade them to stay, but now that the acupuncture had been done, the pills had been given to him, and the bill had been paid, Lu Qing had no reason to persuade them to stay.
“Tan Rou, why did you save my grandfather?” Lu Qing asked again when Tan Rou and the others walked out of the ward. He was looking forward to hearing another reason from Tan Rou.
Under his expectant gaze, Tan Rou said a very straightforward and reasonable reason, “Because the Lu family is very rich. I want to make money, can’t I?”
When Zhuang Liu heard her say this, he felt comfortable and his expression became much better. Xiao Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Third Young Master’s mood had improved. He could probably keep his job now.
With that, Tan Rou pushed her wheelchair and left quickly.
Lu Qing was still in a daze. He didn’t want to hear that as a reason, but this reason was reasonable. What other reason did he want to hear? It couldn’t be that she had special thoughts about him, right? He was too narcissistic.
Tan Rou was outstanding, not only in her studies. He had thought that both of them were students and the only difference between them was the first and second place in grades. Now, it seemed that Tan Rou was already at the peak, and he was the small tree under the protection of the big tree at the foot of the mountain.
Due to how the entire thing had been discovered and they had spent some time talking to each other, Old Master Lu woke up very quickly after Tan Rou and the others left. The incense that Tan Rou had given him was not strong to begin with, and the timing was just right. Since they had spent a little more time at the hospital today, the effect of the incense had already passed by the time they left.
“Little Qing… Why are you standing there in a daze?” Old Master Lu called out to him.
When Lu Qing heard that his grandfather had woken up, he hurried to the bedside. “Grandfather, how are you feeling?”
Old Master Lu felt refreshed and light. ” I feel much better. He saw the bottle in Lu Qing’s hand and asked, “Did the doctor come?”
“Yes.” Lu Qing placed the bottle on the bedside table. “We found out that they were messing with the surveillance cameras today. When I rushed to the hospital, they were about to leave. ”
Old Master Lu was a little annoyed. “Why didn’t you ask him to stay? I still have to thank him properly.” They had talked about that person before, and they all agreed that he was a highly respected old saint.
Lu Qing thought to himself that not only was it not the old saint, it was not the esteemed old man, but it was a young girl. She was so young that it was hard to believe that she had such medical skills.
“Grandpa, that doctor isn’t old at all.” Lu Qing said.
When Old Master Lu heard that the doctor isn’t old, he thought of a man who was around 40 years old. It was not bad for him to be accomplished at this age. “Ohh”
“Grandfather, don’t worry. I’ve already paid the doctor. The doctor said that you can go home to recuperate.” Lu Qing informed his grandfather about what the doctor said.
Hearing that he could go home, Old Master Lu was very happy. He lifted the blanket and urged, “Quick, quick, help me with the discharge procedures!”
Lu Qing finally smiled. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll do it now. Don’t worry.”
Lying on the bed, Old Master Lu felt more and more uncomfortable. If he had met this divine doctor earlier, would his wife still be able to joke with him now?
Many years ago, his wife fell ill. At that time, a Chinese doctor came to treat her. Back then, the other doctors said that there was no cure for her and so he could only allow this traditional medicine doctor to treat her.
In the beginning, his wife was getting better, but gradually, she became thinner and thinner. The doctor said that it was normal and even asked him for a large sum of money for treatment. Old Master Lu was skeptical, but for his wife, he still gave it to the doctor.
In the end, his wife still left. She died of emaciation, the kind that could not be saved.
Old Master Lu was devastated and immediately sent people to investigate the cause of his wife’s death. It turned out that the doctor had used many taboo drugs during the treatment. These drugs contained uncontrollable toxins and were not approved for use. The doctor had used them illegally, causing his wife to die quickly.
The doctor, who had long planned this, disappeared without a trace after receiving the money. Even after his wife passed away, Old Master Lu still could not trace the whereabouts of this quack. From then on, Old Master Lu no longer believed in traditional medicine.
His wife had passed away, and his son and daughter-in-law had also died in an accident. Now, only the oldest and the youngest of the family were still alive. Fortunately, they had a benefactor to help them this time. Otherwise, this family would have fallen apart.
