He took Jiang Ranran back to her home. She lived in an older residential complex, and the address hadn't changed at all since her school days.
Suddenly remembering something, Li Se asked, "Right, how are your dad's legs now?"
He recalled that Jiang Ranran's father had trouble with his legs even back then, and he wondered how his condition was now.
A flicker of sadness crossed Jiang Ranran's pretty face. "Not very good. He's mostly confined to bed now."
Li Se pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, when do you have time?"
"What is it?" Jiang Ranran looked at him curiously.
Li Se tapped her forehead with his finger. "Did you forget what I just told you? I'm a doctor."
"You can treat my dad's legs?" Jiang Ranran asked in surprise.
Li Se nodded. "Otherwise, where do you think this black gold card came from? However, I need to prepare some traditional Chinese medicine first. If your dad's leg condition doesn't improve and instead worsens, it will be more troublesome."
"I'm free these two days," Jiang Ranran immediately agreed.
"Good, I'll come find you tomorrow," Li Se said.
Just as Li Se was about to leave, Jiang Ranran suddenly stood on tiptoe and lightly kissed him on the lips, like a dragonfly touching water.
"Li Se, thank you for today, and... I like you, I always have."
After saying this, Jiang Ranran, with a blush on her face, turned to run away.
Although Li Se's mind went blank for a moment, his reaction was quick. He immediately caught Jiang Ranran, who was about to run into the complex, pulled her back into his arms, and then kissed her beautiful lips.
After several minutes, Li Se finally released Jiang Ranran.
"You're so annoying," Jiang Ranran said with a playful glare.
"I can't let you kiss me and not let me kiss you back, can I?" Li Se said with a smile.
"I'm going home now." Jiang Ranran turned and entered the complex.
Li Se watched her leave, gazing at her pretty receding figure. He felt a sense of daze, wondering how his luck with romance had suddenly started to pick up.
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the Shang family villa.
"It worked, it really worked! Lele has recovered!"
After burning incense for several days, all three sticks finally finished burning today, and Shang Lele had returned to normal. This overjoyed the noblewoman, and she quickly called her husband.
Shang Zhifeng was in a meeting, but upon hearing that his daughter had recovered, he rushed back immediately.
"Dad," Shang Lele called out.
"Lele!" Shang Zhifeng's eyes turned red as he embraced his daughter.
"I can't believe it actually worked," Shang Yuan couldn't help but wipe away a tear. "Take gifts and properly thank that young miracle doctor. If it weren't for him, Lele would have never recovered."
The day Li Se described their condition, he knew Li Se's medical skills were truly superb. Today's recovery of Shang Lele further proved Li Se's prowess.
The noblewoman, however, said dismissively, "Dad, with our status, we can just summon him. Why do we need to thank him ourselves?"
"Alas, you people!" Shang Yuan was a little annoyed and then looked at Shang Zhifeng. "Zhifeng, you should know very well that such a master cannot be easily offended."
Shang Zhifeng nodded. "I will personally bring gifts. For helping my daughter recover, he is my benefactor!"
Shang Yuan sighed in relief. "Call Wenhao, he knows where the master lives."
"Okay!" Shang Zhifeng immediately nodded and then called Yin Wenhao.
"Zhifeng, you're worth billions, how can you go to thank some kid in person?" The noblewoman was somewhat displeased.
"What do you know!" Shang Zhifeng glared at the noblewoman. "Could someone who can come up with such a method be an ordinary person? We should win over such a master, and he's the only one who can treat Grandpa."
The noblewoman dared not speak after being reprimanded.
The call was quickly connected, and Shang Zhifeng, without beating around the bush, asked anxiously, "Wenhao, do you know where that master lives?"
"You mean Brother Li?" Yin Wenhao immediately understood when he heard this. Li Se's method had worked.
"Yes, when he came last time, you knew my family's attitude was not good. I have to go personally." Shang Zhifeng wasn't present then, only heard about it later. He hadn't taken it too seriously, thinking Li Se's method was a bit too playful.
However, since his wife insisted on following the method, he had no choice. He never expected it to actually work.
Yin Wenhao told Shang Zhifeng Li Se's address. As if worried about something, he added, "Zhifeng, you should be nicer to Brother Li. After all, you drove him away last time."
"Alas, I know." Shang Zhifeng sighed inwardly when he thought about his family driving away such a master. He figured it wouldn't be so easy to win his favor later.
After hanging up the phone, Shang Zhifeng looked coldly at the noblewoman. "Xiao Zhen, you're coming with me. You need to apologize to the young miracle doctor properly!"
"I know," the noblewoman could only nod.
"I'm going too!" Shang Yuan felt that his attitude towards Li Se last time was also not good, and he had to apologize.
"Grandpa, Dad, I want to go too." Shang Lele also wanted to express her gratitude.
"Alright, everyone go," Shang Zhifeng nodded.
Soon, their family headed to Li Se's residence and knocked on the door. It was opened shortly after by Li Se himself. Seeing the Shang family, his brow furrowed slightly. "Is there something?"
"Young miracle doctor, we offended you last time. I wasn't here then. If I had been, I would never have allowed such a thing to happen!" Shang Zhifeng said apologetically.
The noblewoman Xiao Zhen also apologized. "It was my fault, and my attitude was wrong."
"I was also wrong," Shang Yuan sighed lightly.
The whole family apologized.
Li Se was not a petty person. Since they came with their whole family to apologize, if he continued to hold a grudge, it would seem small-minded. His tone softened slightly. "Come in and sit down."
"Li Se, do you have guests?" Chen Xiulian asked curiously.
"Yes," Li Se replied.
"Auntie!" Shang Zhifeng greeted Chen Xiulian with a good attitude. However, his age was similar to Chen Xiulian's, so calling her "Auntie" felt a bit strange.
Chen Xiulian's expression was odd, but she didn't dwell on the address issue and quickly invited everyone to sit.
"Young miracle doctor, I won't beat around the bush. This is a villa in Qingshuiwan, primarily to thank you for saving my daughter." Shang Zhifeng was extremely generous, gifting a villa directly.
Li Se gasped. The villas in Qingshuiwan were the most luxurious in Qingyun City, each costing tens of millions. Shang Zhifeng giving him one so readily made him somewhat tempted.
Shang Zhifeng handed the villa keys to Li Se and said, "Also, I'd like to ask you to treat my father!"
