Mu Feng got up, took the soup, and said politely, "Auntie, you are too kind. With your poor health, you shouldn't tire yourself out like this!"
"It's what we should do. We don't know how else to repay Mr. Mu!" the middle-aged woman said, feeling flattered.
Indeed, the meal was exceptionally well-prepared, far superior to everyday home cooking, and perfectly suited Mu Feng's taste.
The three of them chatted and laughed. After eating and drinking their fill, the dishes on the table were nearly all gone.
Seeing how much Mu Feng enjoyed the food, Gu Yan'er stuck out her tongue playfully, "Hehe, Mr. Mu, if you like it so much, I'll often make it for you and bring it over!"
"Haha, no need for that, it's too much trouble. Let's get to the treatment quickly, shall we?" The meal was done, and it was time for the main business.
The middle-aged woman suffered from pancreatic cancer, which had reached its late stage.
Had she not been using special medicine, she would likely have passed away long ago.
However, the efficacy of the medicine she used was merely satisfactory, which had directly led to her pancreatic cancer progressing to the late stage.
Mu Feng had his methods for treating cancer. As the middle-aged woman lay on the bed, he began to administer acupuncture.
After about ten minutes, her body was covered in silver needles, resembling a hedgehog.
An unfathomable power flowed through each needle into the meridians, eventually converging and heading straight for the diseased area.
This power directly disintegrated the tumor and then began to repair her internal organs.
If anyone were to examine her with professional medical equipment at that moment, they would be shocked to discover that the cancer cells within the middle-aged woman were disappearing at a visible rate.
Not only that, but her failing organs were also miraculously recovering.
The middle-aged woman's face gradually regained its rosy hue. She felt an immense sense of comfort throughout her body, as if she had been reborn.
Another half hour passed. Mu Feng exhaled a breath of turbid air. With a wave of his hand, the silver needles automatically flew off and left the patient's body.
"I feel... I feel no pain anymore, and I'm so energetic. This is truly miraculous!"
The middle-aged woman took a breath. She even wondered if she was dreaming.
Mu Feng nodded and said, "Because I have removed the diseased lesion from your body. However, to achieve complete recovery, you will need to take a course of conditioning herbal medicine for a few months. Here, take this!"
He took out a prepared prescription and handed it to Gu Yan'er.
Gu Yan'er solemnly accepted the prescription, tears streaming down her face, "Thank you, Mr. Mu. I truly don't know how to repay you!"
"Divine Doctor, you are truly a divine doctor! Please accept my bow!" The middle-aged woman was also deeply moved and immediately got up to kneel.
The word "recovery" was something she had never dared to imagine, not even in her dreams.
Mu Feng quickly helped her up, "Auntie, you are too kind. Please get up quickly!"
He paused for a moment and continued, "Little Gu, your mother is actually much better now. She doesn't need constant care; taking this herbal prescription daily is enough. I see you are still in university, so you should prioritize your studies. Don't let your education go to waste!"
The middle-aged woman was also taken aback and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, Yan'er, you go to school today. Mom can manage here alone. We can't let it affect your future!"
Gu Yan'er asked with some concern, "Is... is that really okay?"
Mu Feng smiled and said, "Of course, do you doubt my medical skills?"
"Ah? No, I absolutely don't mean that. Then I'll pack my bags and head back shortly!"
Upon learning that she could return to school, Gu Yan'er was overjoyed. She quickly ran to her room to pack her belongings.
She packed several large suitcases. At the same time, she booked a car ride through her phone.
After completing all this, her heart was finally at ease, and her complexion improved.
However, after a while, she still hadn't managed to book a ride, which disappointed her.
Mu Feng, who was about to leave, saw Gu Yan'er sitting alone at the dining table, her hands propping up her cheeks, looking troubled.
He asked, "Little Gu, what's wrong? Did something happen again?"
"No, it's just that I couldn't get a ride. Although it's only two hundred kilometers to Honghai City, there are no direct buses."
Mu Feng yawned and said, "Is that so? Then don't bother calling. Honghai City is famous for its jade. I've been thinking of visiting there for a while. Let's take this opportunity to go together, and I'll give you a ride."
"Mr. Mu, that wouldn't be very convenient. You've already gone to so much trouble for me!" Gu Yan'er was starting to feel too indebted.
"Two hundred kilometers isn't that far for me to drive. I have some business there anyway, so let's travel together!"
Hearing this, Gu Yan'er's concerns were dispelled.
Thus, after bidding farewell to her mother, she left with Mu Feng in his car.
The two of them arrived at Honghai University at three in the afternoon.
"Alright, Little Gu, I'll drop you off here. Remember to prioritize your studies. You don't need to work part-time. Take this!"
With that, Mu Feng took out a bank card and handed it to her.
He was like this: for enemies, it was certainly a shotgun; but for friends who were sincere towards him, it was always good wine and fine food.
Gu Yan'er's family had treated him well. They had prepared a whole table of dishes despite her severe illness, just to entertain him. This was no small gesture.
"This is?" she asked, startled.
"Your mother doesn't need to overwork herself for now. Here's two hundred thousand yuan. It should be enough for your studies and living expenses for the next few years, as well as your mother's living expenses!"
Hearing this, Gu Yan'er immediately returned the bank card, shaking her head like a rattle drum, "Mr. Mu, I can't accept your money. My mother taught me from a young age that one should not accept rewards without merit and should not ask others for money. You've already been so good to me. If I were to take this money, I would truly be a terrible person."
Mu Feng chuckled and said, "How about this? Take it for now, and when you graduate and start earning, you can pay me back."
To be honest, this money could indeed solve Gu Yan'er's immediate financial problems. The family had no income, and with her going to school, living expenses and tuition fees had become a problem.
To put it bluntly, she couldn't even afford to top up her cafeteria meal card, which illustrated the direness of her situation.
Gu Yan'er gritted her teeth and nodded. Finally, she put away the bank card, "Thank you, Mr. Mu. I will definitely be frugal, aiming to spend only three hundred yuan a month. After graduation, I will definitely return the money with interest!"
Mu Feng patted her delicate shoulder, "Alright, no need to be frugal. The password is six zeros. Remember to withdraw it and deposit it into your own card later. I have to go now!"
