The Sweetest Medicine

Lin Jiayu looked at the shocked expression on Yu Gangan’s face and her cold features warmed up a little. In a comforting tone, she said, “Don’t worry too much, I’m here. If you don’t agree to it, the Qiao Family will never be able to buy your clinic.”

Lin Jiayu had always viewed Qiao Pan’er as a snobby and arrogant person. In the years she knew her, it wasn’t abnormal to see her bullying others. In fact, she always looked at people with disdain and humiliated them.

On the other hand, Yu Gangan had a gentle character. She was an honest young woman that simply focused on curing people. If she was to go up against Qiao Pan’er, she would definitely suffer.

But, Yu Gangan had no idea that Lin Jiayu viewed her as such a gentle and weak person.

Yes, she was shocked and she felt chills down her spine! But, she wasn’t frightened by the Qiao Family, she was simply stunned that someone would use such unscrupulous methods for the sake of money.

Yu Gangan felt thankful towards Lin Jiayu, so she smiled and said gratefully, “Jiayu, thank you.”

But, Lin Jiayu wasn’t the only one she needed to thank. She also needed to thank Su Zijing for warning her and giving her the chance to prepare.

If the Qiao Family wanted to open a Chinese medicine hospital, why couldn’t they open it elsewhere? Why did they have to choose Yueming Hall?

Why now, when her teacher was missing and her uncle was desperately trying to sell the clinic?

Was it really just a coincidence?

That day, Yu Gangan ended up seeing Qiao Pan’er at Yueming Hall. She never expected that the Qiao Family wanted to buy her clinic and would send Qiao Pan’er to personally speak to her.

Qiao Pan’er scanned her eyes around the clinic. When she noticed that there was only one patient, she laughed in ridicule and sat down on a mahogany chair in the waiting room.

But, she did not come alone.

Next to her was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was dressed in a suit and holding onto a briefcase. Obviously, he was her assistant.

“Excuse me, who is the boss here?” Qiao Pan’er’s assistant asked out loud.

Yu Gangan was in the middle of a consultation at that moment, so she did not respond.

Uncle Wang stepped out from behind the medicine table and asked, “May I ask what’s the matter?”

“Hi, I am Assistant You, Miss Qiao’s assistant. This is a letter of intent to purchase your clinic,” the assistant said to Uncle Wang as he pulled out a document from his briefcase and handed it to him. “We left the price empty.”

“A letter of intent to purchase? Are we selling our clinic?” Uncle Wang asked in surprise.

He subconsciously turned to look at Yu Gangan.

At that moment, Yu Gangan had finished her consultation.

“After acupuncture and moxibustion for the first two days, your inflamed tonsils have shrunk by two-thirds and your fever has subsided. But, there is still a lot of sputum. I will give you five more doses of medicine. After taking them, you should be cured.”

After she finished speaking, Yu Gangan picked up a pen to write a prescription. As she wrote, she added, “Remember to avoid irritating foods like chili, eat more fruits and vegetables, and consume foods with a high vitamin C content.”

After writing the prescription, she handed the paper to the patient and said to Uncle Wang, “Please pick out the prescription, Uncle Wang.”

Uncle Wang threw the letter back at the assistant and walked over to the medicine table. He then received the prescription and started preparing it.

Meanwhile, Yu Gangan walked over and sat opposite Qiao Pan’er.

When Qiao Pan’er saw Yu Gangan, she looked slightly surprised, “It’s you.”

Yu Gangan revealed a smiled, “Hello, Miss Qiao.”

Qiao Pan’er looked Yu Gangan up and down and leaned back in her chair. She then lifted her chin arrogantly, “I never expected you to be Jiayu’s friend. This must be fate.”
