Seeing Qin Haodong entering the room, Hua Mingrui stood up in a hurry and said anxiously, “My uncle just called and said that my grandfather is seriously ill. I want you to treat him.”

“I thought it was something serious. It’s normal to be ill. As long as your grandfather is still alive, I can save him.”

Qin Haodong was confident in his ability to heal any sickness.

Hua Mingrui still looked worried and said, “But it’s not as simple as you think.”

Qin Haodong said in surprise, “It’s just a treatment, isn’t it? Why is it so complicated?”

Hua Mingrui sighed and said, “Grandpa has been ill for a few months. It was because of this that I returned to the capital after the exchange between Huaxia and Nihon.”

“At that time, I wanted to invite you over to treat my grandfather, but my uncle did not agree. He was very resistant to traditional Chinese medicine. Even if I invited you here, I’m afraid he would not let you treat my grandfather.”

“How could this be? Could it be that he wants to see your grandfather dying with his own eyes?”

“That’s not true. My uncle is also very filial. All these years, he has invited famous doctors from all over the world to treat my grandfather’s illness, but they are all western medicine doctors.”

Hua Mingrui asked Qin Haodong to sit down and then said, “There is a reason why my uncle hates traditional Chinese medicine. When he was a child, he had a fever. He was mistakenly diagnosed by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and almost lost his life.”

“Since then, he no longer trusted traditional Chinese medicine and even hated it immensely. Whether it was himself or his family, they refused to see traditional Chinese medical doctors whenever they get sick.”

Qin Haodong said, “In fact, what he should hate is not traditional Chinese medicine, but that quack. There is no problem with traditional Chinese medicine, but in the medical skills of that person.”

“Quacks do not exist only in traditional Chinese medicine, but also in Western medicine. In terms of the number of medical accidents, traditional Chinese medicine has lesser incidents. We can’t boycott traditional Chinese medicine because of this.”

“You’re right. That’s true, but my uncle has this psychological fear due to the incident that happened when he was a child. I tried to persuade him several times, but he refused to change his mind.”

Qin Haodong said, “Then I have no other way to help you. Your grandfather is seriously ill now. If his family members don’t agree, I can’t treat him.”

Hua Mingrui said, “Grandpa loves me very much. Western medicine cannot do anything to treat his illness now. I can’t just watch him die, so I want you to go with me to see if he can be cured.”

Qin Haodong said, “I can go and see him, but if your uncle does not agree with you, I’m afraid it will be very difficult.”

“I’ve come up with a solution. If you pretend to be my boyfriend and come with me to visit my grandfather, my uncle will not have any doubts. You can assess my grandfather’s condition at that time. If you can’t cure him, forget it. If you can, I’ll find a way.”

When she said this, a blush appeared on her pale cheeks. She had never had a boyfriend in her life. It was also the first time that she had asked someone to pretend to be her boyfriend.

The most important thing was that she had a good impression of Qin Haodong deep within her heart. When she thought of asking this handsome man be her boyfriend, her heart kept pounding.

Qin Haodong said, “That’s good. Let’s go and have a look.”

Seeing that he had agreed, Hua Mingrui was overjoyed and said, “Haodong, thank you.”

“There’s no need to thank me. It’s not a big deal at all.”

Qin Haodong asked Hua Mingrui to get in his car and then drove according to the directions given by her.

Along the way, Hua Mingrui began to update him about her grandfather’s situation. It turned out that her grandfather’s name was Mu Baisen. He was one of the old generals in the country and had a very high status.

Among his uncles, some were in political careers and some were in the army. They all had important positions. Only his youngest uncle, Mu Haiqing, was a businessman. His business empire was also very large. The Treasure-gathering Auction House was one of his businesses.

Qin Haodong nodded secretly. No wonder he could open such a big auction house in a place like the capital. It turned out that he had such an outstanding background.

While they were talking, they drove to a sanatorium in the outskirts of the capital. The mountains and rivers here were beautiful and the air was fresh. It was indeed a good place for recuperation.

This sanatorium belonged to the military. From the door, there were many sentries at every few steps. The security was extremely tight.

Hua Mingrui showed her pass and brought Qin Haodong into the sanatorium.

After entering, it was still heavily guarded. All kinds of guards in military uniforms and plain clothes were there. Once they found anything unusual, they would strike immediately.

Mu Baisen’s rank was very high. He did not live with other people and enjoyed having a small courtyard on his own.

The guards at the door knew Hua Mingrui. When they saw her, they did not say anything and let them in.

Perhaps she wanted to make their relationship look more realistic, Hua Mingrui took Qin Haodong’s arm and her ample chest brushed against his arm.

When they walked into the ward, they saw a skinny old man lying on the bed, with various tubes inserted in his body and he breathed with the help of an oxygen tube. At this time, he was in a coma.

A middle-aged man in his 40s was standing at the head of the bed. He had a superior air about him. But at this time, he was worried about the old man’s illness.

He was Hua Mingrui’s uncle, Mu Haiqing. He was the head of the Mu’s Group in the capital and had hundreds of billions of assets.

Next to him stood a young doctor in his thirties. He was wearing a white coat and his hair was carefully combed. There was a faint trace of arrogance on his face and he was talking to Mu Haiqing.

Seeing Hua Mingrui and Qin Haodong entering, the young doctor stopped talking immediately. Mu Haiqing also turned around and saw that it was Hua Mingrui. He said, “Mingrui, you’re here.”

Then he looked at Qin Haodong next to him and asked in surprise, “Mingrui, who is this young man?”

Hua Shengrui said shyly, “Uncle, this is my boyfriend, Qin Haodong.”

Hearing her reply, Mu Haiqing was slightly stunned. As his niece, she had always been cautious and haughty. She never showed any interest in any man. He did not expect that she would come here with her boyfriend today.

As for the young doctor next to him, his expression changed greatly. He was Li Shuai, an expert from the respiratory department in this sanatorium, a famous returnee doctor.

Since he saw Hua Mingrui in the ward a month ago, Li Shuai was taken by her and immediately began to pursue her crazily. But all his moves such as sending flowers, invitations to dinner or movie, were rejected by Hua Mingrui.

Even so, he did not give up. He thought that as long as he persisted in his attempts, sooner or later he would be able to win her heart.

But today, she came directly with her boyfriend, which made him feel like as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over him.

Hearing that he was his niece’s boyfriend, Mu Haiqing’s attitude immediately became much better. He warmly invited them to sit on the sofa next to him.

This was a first class ward, which was not only decorated very luxuriously, but also equipped with a sofa, TV and other equipment.

“Not bad, young man. You’re quite handsome.” Mu Haiqing was very satisfied with Qin Haodong’s appearance. He looked like a perfect match for his niece. Then he asked like any ordinary parent, “Little Qin, what are you working as?”

“Uh…”

Hua Mingrui had asked him not to say that he was a doctor. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “I’m a security guard.”

In fact, he was right. He was indeed a member of the Daddy Security Company.

“Guard?” Hearing this answer, Mu Haiqing was stunned. He knew very well how arrogant Hua Mingrui was. How could she find a security guard to be her boyfriend?

Li Shuai, who was next to him, suddenly relaxed. Although this guy looked handsome, he was just a security guard. How could he compare with a top student who graduated from M Country’s famous Medical College?

Hua Mingrui, who was next to him, was afraid that he would expose himself if he said too much. She quickly said, “Uncle, Haodong and I are here to visit grandpa.”

When it came to his father, Mu Haiqing, who had just relaxed a little, immediately became serious again. “Your grandfather’s situation is very bad now. According to Dr. Li’s estimation, he can only hold on for three days at most.”

Seeing that his specialty was mentioned, Li Shuai could not let go of the opportunity to show off. He quickly stepped forward and said, “This is indeed the case now, but I have already asked my teacher to rush to Huaxia from the World Medical Association. He is an expert from the respiratory department and I believe he will be able to cure Mr. Mu’s sickness.”

“Moreover, I had already reported Mr. Mu’s condition to the hospital. The director said that he had informed Mr. Shao Weimin, the minister from the Ministry of Health.”

“Minister Shao attached great importance to it. He has gathered the experts in the respiratory department in the capital. When my teacher arrives, he will immediately apply the expert consultation of the combination of Chinese and Western medicines. He will surely find a way to cure Mr. Mu…”

The guy was talking non-stop, trying to show his role in this consultation. However, Hua Mingrui did not care about this at all. What she cared about was whether Qin Haodong could cure her grandfather or not.

“Uncle, I’m going to visit grandpa.”

Hua Mingrui did not even look at Li Shuai. She took Qin Haodong and walked to the bed with him.

“I…”

Since she was gone, Li Shuai naturally had no need to continue. He could only swallow his words awkwardly.

Hua Mingrui came to Mu Baisen’s bed, looked at the old man, picked up the basin next to her, poured some warm water and gently wiped the old man’s cheeks.

Qin Haodong stood beside her. With his medical skills, even though he did not feel the old man’s pulse, he could still see the old man’s condition clearly.

Seeing that Mu Haiqing was not paying attention to them, Hua Mingrui whispered in Qin Haodong’s ear, “How is it? Is there any hope for my grandfather?”

Qin Haodong said, “Your grandfather’s illness comes from his lungs. He should have been injured in the past. Although he had been treated, the root of the disease had not been completely removed. Later, he had a cold, which worsened his condition. Now his lungs are filled with fluid.”

“Besides, your grandfather is in a coma due to lung fibrosis. This is also the most troublesome thing in the treatment.”

Hua Mingrui had heard the doctors talking about her grandfather’s condition many times. What Qin Haodong had just said was no different from the results of those precise examinations, using the most updated equipment.

With a hopeful look on her face, she asked, “Can you cure this disease?”

Qin Haodong said confidently, “Although it’s a little troublesome, it’s not very difficult. If I treat him, I can have your grandfather up and out of bed instantly and I can cure him completely after three treatments.”

“Really? That’s great!”

Hua Mingrui was overjoyed. All along, she had heard about her grandfather’s condition and how difficult it was to treat him. In the end, they could not cure him.

Now that she heard Qin Haodong’s good news and the distance between them was not that far, she could not help kissing Qin Haodong’s cheek out of excitement.

Although Li Shuai had been talking to Mu Haiqing all the time, he had been paying attention to Hua Mingrui. When he saw Hua Mingrui secretly kissing Qin Haodong, his face suddenly became very gloomy.

Hua Mingrui was also very embarrassed about her impulsive gesture earlier. Her white and tender cheeks were so red that they seemed to be dripping blood. In order to avoid any embarrassment, she quickly changed the topic and said, “I’ll speak my uncle now and try to persuade him to agree to let you treat grandpa.”
