Chapter 420: Who Was Silly? Who Was Naive?Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Nothing else can help Chen Zhou?” asked Su Xiaoxue.

“I’m not sure. I didn’t ask her for details,” said the maid.

“I see,” said Su Xiaoxue.

She looked through the window while practicing the control of her internal power. She felt warm in her belly.

Her Qi was moving around in certain area of her body.

“The view is nice,” said Su Xiaoxue.

“Yes,” said the maid.

In fact, there was nothing nice to see. It was winter. Everything looked deserted. However, for Su Xiaoxue, who had been stuck in her bed for years and been unable to see anything outside, the view was so pretty.

Ding! The doorbell rang.

“Miss, Mr. Guo is here to see you,” said a maid downstairs.

“Please invite him to come in,” said Su Xiaoxue.

“Sure,” said the maid.

Guo Zhenghe walked upstairs with a seemingly valuable gift.

“Hi, Xiaoxue, how are you? Looking at something nice through the window again?” said Guo Zhenghe.

“Hi, Zhenghe, please take a seat,” said Su Xiaoxue.

Guo Zhenghe had visited Su Xiaoxue regularly these days, especially once Su Xiaoxue’s face had recovered.

He didn’t expect Su Xiaoxue would become so pretty, even prettier than before. Su Xiaoxue had been a well-known beauty among the prestigious families in Beijing before she got ill. The Head Elder and Su Xiaoxue’s grandpa once joked about Su Xiaoxue and Guo Zhenghe getting together.

Now Guo Zhenghe truly wanted to marry Su Xiaoxue.

His family needed to connect with a powerful family, and Su Xiaoxue had regained her beauty.

What a fantastic doctor Wang Yao is!

Guo Zhenghe had come across a lot of medical specialists. He had to admit that Wang Yao was one of the best doctors he had ever met.

Wang Yao could save a dying person and recover a destroyed face. It seemed that there was nothing Wang Yao couldn’t do.

Guo Zhenghe had a very pleasant conversation with Su Xiaoxue. Although he was very young, he had many girlfriends in the past. On the other hand, Su Xiaoxue was as pure as a snow lotus.

It was so easy to make Su Xiaoxue happy.

The sole purpose of Guo Zhenghe’s visit was to make Su Xiaoxue happy.

It was important to keep a girl happy, and one should never act hastily when chasing a girl.

What a naive girl! thought Guo Zhenghe. She should be a good wife.

On his way out, he stopped in the courtyard and turned his head to look at Su Xiaoxue. Su Xiaoxue waved her hand at him. Her smile was as warm as shining sun.

He decided to visit Su Xiaoxue as often as he could.

“What a hypocrite!” said Su Xiaoxue in low voice.

“Sorry, Miss, what did you say?” asked her maid.

“Nothing. He’s a deputy Governor of a county now. Shouldn’t he be too busy to chat with me?” asked Su Xiaoxue.

“He should be very busy. But he is the eldest son. Maybe he just wants to maintain a good relationship with your family. He’s probably trying to get as much support as he can for the county he works in. I heard the county he works in is very poor,” said the maid standing behind Su Xiaoxue.

“Very poor?” asked Su Xiaoxue.

“Yes,” said the maid.

“What about Lianshan County?” asked Su Xiaoxue.

“Lianshan County? I don’t know,” said the maid with surprised. She had never heard of Lianshan County. She didn’t even know why Su Xiaoxue suddenly mentioned Lianshan County.

“Oh, never mind,” said Su Xiaoxue, smiling.

“Oh,” said the maid.

She was a middle-aged woman. She decided to do a search on the internet about Lianshan County. She wanted to know what was special about that place.

Song Ruiping came home at lunch time. As Su Xiaoxue had gotten better, she didn’t have to stay at home all the time. So she went out almost every day to run some errands.

“Xiaoxue!” Song Ruiping went upstairs to see her daughter right away without taking even a moment to settle in.

“Mom, you are back,” said Su Xiaoxue.

“Yeah, how was everything today?” Song Ruiping asked the same question every time she came back home. She really cared about her daughter.

“Everything was good,” said Su Xiaoxue.

“Are you getting tired of sitting in the wheelchair for the whole morning?” asked Song Ruiping.

“Not really. I enjoy looking outside,” said Su Xiaoxue.

“Ma’am, here is some water.” One of the maids gave Song Ruiping a glass of water.

“Thank you,” said Song Ruiping.

She sat next to the window to talk with her daughter for a while.

“You had a visitor in the morning?” Song Ruiping noticed the health supplements on the table, which were quite expensive.

“Yeah, Zhenghe came here in the morning,” said Su Xiaoxue.

“Zhenghe?” Song Ruiping’s face changed slightly.

“What’s going on, Mom?” asked Su Xiaoxue.

“Nothing. What do you think of him?” said Song Ruiping.

“He’s fine,” said Su Xiaoxue. “Why do you ask?”

“Nothing, I just want to know how you think of him,” said Song Ruiping, smiling.

“Mom, I don’t want to get married,” said Su Xiaoxue softly. “At least not now.”

“Don’t talk silly.” Song Ruiping held her daughter’s hand gently. “I don’t want you to get married. I don’t even want you to leave this house yet.”

She talked with her daughter for some time.

“Rest in bed for a bit. I need to make a phone call,” said Song Ruiping.

“Okay,” said Su Xiaoxue.

Song Ruiping called the two maids to the living room after she had left Su Xiaoxue’s room.

“Don’t let anyone disrupt Xiaoxue when I’m not home,” said Song Ruiping seriously.

“Yes, Ma’am,” said the maids.

“Did Xiaoxue mention anything else after her meeting with Zhenghe?” asked Song Ruiping.

“Yes. She asked me where Mr. Guo worked and whether he was busy. By the way, she also asked me about Lianshan County,” said one of the maids.

“Lianshan?” said Song Ruipng with surprise.

“Yes, what’s wrong? Ma’am?” asked the maid.

“Nothing.” Song Ruiping shook her hand. She, of course, knew that Dr. Wang was in Lianshan County.

When will Dr. Wang be able to come back?

. . .

Meanwhile, Wang Yao was on Nanshan Hill, preparing herbs for Meridian Unblocking Powder.

He had seen a number of patients recently, so he had accumulated enough bonus points for the herbs he needed. Part of the herbs were available in the herbal field.

I can start to brew Meridian Unblocking Powder after I have all of the herbs ready.

He needed Meridian Unblocking Powder for Pan Jun’s relative and Zhou Wuyi.

In the village, the building contractors worked very efficiently.

A car with non-local number plate came into the village.

“Is this the right place?” asked the passenger.

“Yes, it is,” said the driver.

The car stopped outside Wang Yao’s clinic.

“Please wait a second, I’ll go and have a look first,” said the passenger.

“Okay,” said the driver.

A man in his 30’s who had been sitting at the front passenger’s seat got out of the car. He walked in front of the clinic and found the door was locked. Wang Yao was not in the clinic.

Not here?

He didn’t go back to the car immediately. Instead, he went around to ask the villagers living nearby about Wang Yao.

“You’re looking for Wang Yao? He should be on Nanshan Hill,” said a villager.

“His parents live in the village, you can ask them,” said another villager.

After the man had gotten Wang Yao’s address, he got back inside the car to let the driver know.

“He is not here. I was told he should be on Nanshan Hill. I’m going to his parents’ house. Please wait for me,” said the man in his 30’s.

“Okay,” said the driver.

The man in his 30’s went to Wang Yao’s house right away. He was very polite to Wang Yao’s parents.

“Okay, just one second, I’ll give Yao a call.” Zhang Xiuying called Wang Yao, who was up on Nanshan Hill, to see his patient.

“Patient? At this time of the day?” Wang Yao looked up at the sky.

It was late afternoon; past 4 pm, to be exact. Normally, people wouldn’t come to see a doctor at this time of the day.

Let me have a look.

Since the patient had come to him, he had to see the patient.

He could see the car parked outside his clinic from a distance.

Non-local plates?

A middle-aged man wearing a formal suit was waiting outside of the clinic. He checked his watch from time to time.

He walked towards Wang Yao as soon as he saw him.

“Good afternoon, are you Dr. Wang?” asked the middle-aged man.

“Yes,” said Wang Yao.

“Great! I’ve been waiting for you,” said the middle-aged man.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, please come in.” Wang Yao unlocked the door and invited him into the clinic. “You are not the patient right?”

Wang Yao could tell at first glance if a person was sick or not, and he was not.

“No, not me. Wait a second, I’ll bring him here,” said the middle-aged man.

“Okay,” said Wang Yao.

A short moment later, the middle-aged man came back with a man wearing sunglasses.

“Hello, Dr. Wang.” The man took off his sunglasses. He had a square face, dark and thick eyebrows, and looked to be in his 40’s.

“Hello,” said Wang Yao.

He took a closer look at the patient, who looked masculine. However, his eyes were dark. He had two large bags under his eyes. It seemed that he hadn’t slept well.

“How can I help you?” asked Wang Yao.

“I tend to have nightmares when I sleep,” said the patient.

“Nightmares?” asked Wang Yao.

Wang Yao checked his pulse. He found that the patient had cold toxins invading into his brain, but nothing too severe.

“Your condition is not too bad,” said Wang Yao.

He didn’t prescribe any herbs. He just gave the patient a massage.

“Hmmm, I feel so comfortable!” praised the patient.

He had a warm feeling in his head following the massage therapy. He was more alert and felt better.

“Thank you, I feel much better now,” said the patient.

“Good, go back and have a good rest,” said Wang Yao.

“That’s it?” asked the patient with surprise.

“Yeah, what else do you need?” said Wang Yao.

“I don’t need to take any medication?” asked the patient.

“Not at the moment,” said Wang Yao.

The patient’s condition was not too bad. The massage therapy had expelled the cold toxin out of his brain. The patient should recover after a good sleep.

“Okay, thank you,” said the patient.

He made payment, then left with his sunglasses back on.

What a strange person! thought Wang Yao as he watched the patient leaving.

“Are you happy now?” asked the patient’s friend.

“Yes, I do feel much better. He’s a good doctor,” said the patient.

Their car left the village.

The sun came out as usual the next morning.

Wang Yao was brewing a decoction on the hill quietly.

He was brewing Meridian Unblocking Powder.

He was very familiar with Meridian Unblocking Powder, which he had brewed a number of times before.

The firewood was burning, making crackling sounds.

Wang Yao sat next to the fire, like an old monk in meditation.

The only difference was that he moved. He put the herbs one-by-one into the pot. Soon the cottage was filled with the smell of herbs.

“Are you okay?” asked the man who brought his friend to see Wang Yao a while ago.

“I’m having a bad headache,” said his friend.

“You have a headache again?” asked the man.

“Let’s go back to the village to see that young doctor,” said his friend.

“Okay, I’ll arrange the trip right away,” said the man.

Wang Yao had finished brewing the decoction when it was almost noon. He tidied up his cottage and then left the hill.

While he was having lunch, someone knocked on the door of his house. It was the middle-aged man who was waiting for him outside of the clinic yesterday afternoon.
