The Sweetest Medicine

Zou Yuanquan looked at the woman questioningly. Her pulse was extremely healthy and she was not sick. At most, her blood and qi were just a little stagnant.

“Miss Lin, can you remove your mask?” Chinese medicine relied on four methods of diagnosis, so Zou Yuanquan needed to see Lin Jiayu’s complexion properly before he could run further tests.

But, as soon as he finished talking, Lin Jiayu turned to him with her sharp gaze and growled, “Get out!”

Lin Guofeng’s expression immediately changed as he looked painfully at his daughter. He then smiled at Zou Yuanquan apologetically.

Zou Yuanquan was a little upset as he stood up and followed Lin Guofeng out of the room.

Inside the living room, Lin Guofeng said apologetically, “I’m so sorry, Dr. Zou, my daughter’s temper has gotten a little strange. She doesn’t like to face people, so…”

Zou Yuanquan waved his hand as he held back his displeasure. With a smile, he said, “It’s fine. You don’t need to worry about it. Young people are always a little moody when they’re ill.”

“May I ask if my daughter can be cured?” Lin Guofeng asked.

“There’s nothing wrong with Miss Lin. She’s simply been stagnant for too long so her qi and blood are a little weak. Tell her to take some medicine and go out for a walk; she should be fine after that,” Zou Yuanquan said as he pulled out a piece of paper and started writing out a prescription.

After hearing Zou Yuanquan’s diagnosis, Lin Guofeng’s expression sunk halfway. He then glanced at the prescription that Zou Yuanquan wrote and his expression sunk all the way.

His attitude towards Zou Yuanquan quickly changed; he was no longer as warm and welcoming.

After thanking Zou Yuanquan unenthusiastically, he swiftly ordered his secretary, “Please show Dr. Zou out.”

Zou Yuanquan: “…”

What was happening? Things were going fine. Why did his attitude suddenly change? Was he simply getting rid of him after he was done?

Lin Guofeng did not sense the man’s displeasure, he simply turned to Assistant Zhang and asked, “Isn’t there another doctor? What time is she arriving?”

Assistant Zhang was dumbfounded: “…is there meant to be another doctor?”

“Didn’t the Madam say that Mrs. Yu recommended a decent doctor? She was supposed to arrive this afternoon and you were meant to greet her,” Lin Guofeng said with furrowed brows.

His daughter was already unwilling to see doctors. Instead, she spent every day locked in her room.

If Mrs. Yu didn’t say that there was a thoughtful and caring doctor that could possibly help Jiayu and his wife didn’t convince Jiayu to go through another examination, he wouldn’t have taken this opportunity to invite Zou Yuanquan as well.

He originally thought that Zou Yuanquan would be able to cure Jiayu because he was so famous.

Who would have thought that his diagnosis was exactly the same as every other doctor, and his prescription was no different either?

If this diagnosis and prescription was correct, then his daughter wouldn’t have been sick for a good few months.

Assistant Zhang panicked and began to sweat, “I thought the Madam also wanted me to greet Dr. Zou.”

Mrs. Lin had told him to go down and greet a doctor, but she never said who the doctor was.

Afterwards, Chairman Lin also asked him to go down and greet a doctor. This time, he asked for the doctor’s name.

Chairman Lin told him Dr. Zou.

At that time, he assumed Chairman Lin and Mrs. Lin were referring to the same doctor.

Who knew they were two different people.

That was when he remembered the woman he had blocked.

The woman claimed she was there to treat Miss Lin, but he noticed she was young and looked nothing like a doctor, so he directly sent her away.

Assistant Zhang’s legs began to tremble as he explained the entire incident to Lin Guofeng. Afterwards, he immediately ran downstairs to look for the woman.

But, when he got downstairs, the woman was already gone.
