Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Guo Zhenghe left after talking to Song Ruiping and Su Xiaoxue for a short while. He had only stayed at Su Xiaoxue’s place 10 minutes, which was quite appropriate.

On his way downstairs, he bumped into a strong man in his 30s who looked quite serious and tough.

“Hello, Xingzhi,” greeted Guo Zhenghe.

“Hi, you went to study today?” Su Xiaoxue’s brother asked.

“Yes, I was available today. I just came to see Xiaoxue,” Guo Zhenghe replied.

“I see, thank you,” Su Xiaoxue’s brother said.

“I should have come earlier. Anyway, I have to leave now,” Guo Zhenghe said.

“Okay,” Su Xiaoxue’s brother said.

He walked Guo Zhenghe out of the door. He didn’t go inside until Guo Zhenghe had left.

“Hi, brother,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Hi,” Su Xingzhi replied. His face immediately softened.

A tough guy could be soft, too, and didn’t have to be only soft to his wife.

He loved his sister very much. Most children of his generation were boys. Su Xiaoxue was the only girl, so she was very precious and loved by everyone in the family. In addition, Su Xiaoxue was a nice and well-mannered girl. It was a shame that she had suffered from such a weird condition. Fortunately she was fine now. Su Xiaoxue had been recovering well. She was in good spirits and able to speak and sit up. Su Xingzhi was thrilled that his sister had been getting better. Therefore, he took the chance of a work-related trip in Beijing to see his sister.

“Mom,” Su Xingzhi said.

“Hey, how come you have time to come back today?” Song Ruiping asked.

“I’m here for work, just take the chance to see you and Xiaoxue,” Su Xingzhi replied.

“Guo Zhenghe was here just now.” Song Ruiping filled Su Xiaoxue’s glass with some warm water.

“I bumped into him when he came downstairs. What has he been up to?” Su Xingzhi asked.

“He became the governor or a town in Ji Province,” Song Ruiping replied.

“I see. It seems that his family has a lot of expectation on him,” Su Xingzhi said with a smile.

“Exactly.” Song Ruiping nodded.

“When will Dr. Wang come here again?” Comparing to what Guo Zhenghe had been doing, Su Xingzhi cared more about his sister.

“He just said he will come here as soon as he can,” Song Ruiping said.

“Well...” Su Xingzhi wanted to say something but stopped after he had a glance at his sister.

After talking to Su Xiaoxue for a short while, Su Xingzhi and Song Ruiping left the room.

“What did you want to say just now?” Song Ruiping asked.

“You can’t ask him to come here a bit sooner?” Su Xingzhi questioned.

“Xiaoxue’s condition is stable and should not get any worse. She is getting better. I’ve seen Dr. Wang. He’s been quite busy,” Song Ruiping replied.

“Xiaoxue could get better faster if he was here,” Su Xingzhi said.

“He is not our private doctor. We can’t force him. I believe he will keep his promise. He said he will come back, so he will. He is probably thinking of a better way to treat Xiaoxue,” Song Ruiping said. “By the way, what do you think of Guo Zhenghe?”

“Him?” Su Xingzhi was a bit surprised that his mother suddenly asked such a question. “He’s not bad. He’s well-educated, has vision, and is quite capable. Some elders in the family quite like him. Why do you ask?”

“When Guo Zhenghe’s grandpa was still live, he joked about marrying Xiaoxue to Zhenghe,” Song Ruiping said.

“What?” Su Xingzhi frowned. “When did Zhenghe’s grandpa mentioned it?”

“That was ages ago, probably over 10 years ago. Xiaoxue was only seven years old then. She was just a child. I think the elders in the family just joked about it. They never mentioned it again,” Song Ruiping replied.

Over a decade ago, Guo Zhenghe’s family was at the prime of their time. They were more powerful than Su Xiaoxue’s family. It was the other way around nowadays. After Guo Zhenghe’s grandpa had passed away, the most powerful person in their family was Guo Zhenghe’s father, the major of Qi province. It would be very hard for him to get a promotion. They needed powerful friends. Relatives by marriage was even better. Su Xiaoxue was apparently a very good candidate to be Guo Zhenghe’s wife.

The best way to connect two families together was marriage. Nothing was more effective than marriage. It was common that powerful families became relatives by marriage. People from the younger generations of those families got married even if they didn’t love each other. It was kind of sad. Those people were born privileged, but a lot of them couldn’t take their lives in their own hands.

“I don’t think it is a good idea,” Su Xingzhi said without hesitation. He had already married someone he didn’t love. He knew how painful it was to have a loveless marriage, even though he and his wife had always been respectful to each other. He didn’t want his sister to end up in a marriage like his.

“We have to ask what Xiaoxue thinks about it. No one should give her any pressure,” Su Xingzhi said.

“Of course. Xiaoxue must be happy in the future,” Song Ruiping said.

In Ji, inside a club, Li Shaoyang was smoking while lying on a sofa. A woman wearing heavy makeup was massaging his shoulders.

“Right, how come I didn’t think about it?” Li Shaoyang asked.

A young man wearing glasses sat next to him. The young man looked quite well-mannered.

“Since he is pursuing a medical certificate, he will be a doctor eventually. As long as he is a doctor, he is under my father’s jurisdiction. You’ll see how I will deal with him!” Li Shaoyang’s eyes became cold.

“Maybe he sees patients without a medical certificate at the moment,” the young man wearing glasses said with a smile.

“That’s possible. I should get someone to check it,” Li Shaoyang said.

“It has to be someone reporting him,” the young man wearing glasses said.

“Report him? Just fine someone!” Li Shaoyang said.

He was pretty sure a lot of people would be happy to help him for the sake of his father.

“Yes, nowadays, as long as you have money, you can do a lot of things,” the young man wearing glasses said.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao didn’t know Li Shaoyang, who was thousands of miles away from him, still tried to take revenge. The only thing Wang Yao was worried about was his mission.

He only had one week left.

He needed to get his name out. He needed 50 people who considered him a good doctor.

He only achieved 27 people at the moment. He was only half way through.

While he was worried about his mission, Wang Fengming came to the clinic.

“Uncle, how can I help you?” Wang Yao asked.

“Well, Yao, do you still see any patients?’ Wang Fengming said.

“Yes, who do you want me to see?” Wang Yao asked.

“I have a relative living in the countryside. He is suffering from a weird condition that is causing abdominal bloating. Can you see him?” Wang Fengming asked.

“Sure, not a problem,” Wang Yao replied.

“Great! He’s at my house at the moment. Can I bring him here later?” Wang Fengming asked.

“Okay, I’ll be waiting here,” Wang Yao said.

Wang Yao waited inside his clinic. In less than half an hour, Wang Fengming came back with a man in his 40s. The man was quite overweight. He was not tall, just a bit over 5-and-a-half-foot tall. He looked like a ball. Wang Yao estimated that the man weighed at least 220 pounds.

The man didn’t look well. Wang Yao thought his five organs must be in disorder. He had bloodshot eyes. Apparently, he had excessive Yang energy inside his body.

“This is my cousin. This is Dr. Wang.” Wang Fengming introduced the two men.

“Hello, Dr. Wang,” Wang Fengming’s cousin said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Yao could smell a strong unpleasant odor from his mouth.

“Please sit down,” Wang Yao said.

The man sat down carelessly.

He had been suffering from abdominal bloating. He had been to the hospital in town and the one in the county. Nothing serious was detected. He just had high blood sugar levels, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol. He also suffered from moderate fatty liver.

He didn’t take any of those conditions seriously since he had been sleeping well and eating well. However, things had changed lately. He felt his belly was like a balloon full of gas. He felt bloating in his abdominal area from time to time. He mentioned it to Wang Fengming when he was visiting but didn’t expect his cousin knew a young doctor from the same village who had extraordinary medical skills. Therefore, he followed Wang Fengming to Wang Yao’s clinic.

The doctor is so young! What can he do for me? Wang Fengming’s cousin thought.

Wang Yao checked his pulse and then smiled.

“What is it, Doctor?” Wang Fengming’s cousin asked.

“Your condition is not hard to treat. I’ll prescribe you a formula. You get the herbs in the formula and boil them in the water. You should get better in one day,” Wang Yao said.

“One day? That’s wonderful,” Wang Fengming’s cousin said.

Wang Yao went to the herb storage room to get two herbs and came back.

“Take the herbs back and boil them in the water. Drink the water afterward,” Wang Yao said.

“Okay. How much should I pay you?” Wang Fengming’s cousin asked.

“They are free.” Wang Yao shook his hand.

“Free?” Wang Fengming’s cousin was surprised.

“Yeah, anything wrong?” Wang Yao asked.

“Oh, no, thank you,” Wang Fengming’s cousin said.

He smiled at Wang Yao. He then stood up and left.

“Fengming, is that doctor reliable?” Wang Fengming’s cousin asked after they had returned to Wang Fengming’s house.

“Of course. He cured me. Hasn’t he given you the herbs? Let me boil some for you now,” Wang Fengming said.

It was easy to boil herbs in the water. Soon, the herbal tea was ready.

“What’s inside? It smells strange.” Wang Fengming’s cousin smelled the herbal tea, which had a strong odor.

“Drink a little bit to start with. You know, most herbs smell strange,” Wang Fengming said.

His cousin drank up one bowl of herbal tea. Soon, his stomach started to rumble.
