Sun Keyu was instantly filled with embarrassment. She really regretted her past harsh words. Not only had she offended Jiang Nuan, but if the Lu family decided to press the issue, she would also offend them. She never imagined Jiang Nuan was the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
Jin Yan looked at her daughter with confusion and asked, "Nuannuan, do you know Madam Liao?"
Jiang Nuan nodded faintly. "Mom, I met her once at the hospital. Anran is her friend. She said the woman had trouble conceiving and wanted me to take a look. But she and her daughter accused me of scamming them for money, and we parted on bad terms."
Jin Yan looked at Madam Sun, who sat on the sofa with an unnatural expression, her face turning cold. "Oh! Does our Nuannuan lack that little bit of money from your family?" "Our Nuannuan is not someone who helps people easily. If it weren't for Ye Anran, you wouldn't even get to see her. Why would she scam your family for money? Get out!"
Jin Yan didn't want her daughter to be troubled. She didn't care about offending the Sun family. It was because they looked down on her daughter. These people were all so misguided; being judged, looked down upon, and insulted based on one's upbringing was something she encountered frequently. She had always kept a low profile and disliked being ostentatious. Some people assumed she was too shy to go out, or perhaps they felt she was easy to bully. However, that's how the world worked, especially in their circle. If you didn't go out often and didn't flaunt your family background, those who looked down on others would always think you were easy to bully.
Madam Sun laughed it off. "Madam Lu, we were wrong last time. We offended Miss Lu." She then looked at Jiang Nuan and said, "Miss Lu, we were wrong last time. We thought you were too young and assumed a divine doctor would be an old woman or an old man. We were blind and short-sighted. Miss Lu, please don't hold it against us."
"Yes, Miss Lu, we were wrong before. We are truly sorry. Please forgive us!" Sun Keyu apologized sincerely. She had to get pregnant first; she had to maintain her status. Saying sorry wouldn't cost her anything.
Jin Yan looked at the sincere apologies from the mother and daughter. It was truly regrettable for a woman to be unable to become a mother. "Nuannuan, since they've apologized, why don't you examine her?" Jin Yan knew that Madam Sun and her daughter were particularly stingy. If she refused now, they would surely make things difficult for her daughter later.
Jiang Nuan glanced at her mother. Her mother's words naturally had her considerations. Jiang Nuan walked over, her expression indifferent, and sat down. "I'll take your pulse first!"
"Okay!" Sun Keyu happily sat down.
Jiang Nuan placed her hand on Sun Keyu's pulse. Soon, her expression became serious. "You have polycystic ovary syndrome, and you also suffer from a cold uterus. You consume alcohol, smoke, prefer cold foods, have a chaotic lifestyle, and have cervical erosion. These are all the culprits behind your infertility. Even if you have the chance to undergo IVF, it will be difficult to maintain the pregnancy."
Sun Keyu was stunned. How could she know all this just by taking her pulse? She looked at Jiang Nuan excitedly and said, "Miss Lu, I've already quit smoking and drinking. I no longer starve myself to maintain my figure. I eat a small bowl of rice every noon, and I dare not consume cold things anymore. Please, help me."
Sun Keyu knew her lifestyle habits were poor. But the lives of the wealthy were often boring. Besides competition, there seemed to be nothing else. Her husband was often not home. In the end, she hadn't married for love and lived a life of emptiness. Smoking and drinking provided temporary pleasure. She learned to smoke in college, and her relationships were also somewhat chaotic. After she got married, she restrained herself considerably. She had been unable to conceive for a long time, and later, she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, the most severe type, making it very difficult to get pregnant.
Jiang Nuan looked at her and said, "You have the most severe form of polycystic ovary syndrome, and it has already become malignant."
"Ah..." Sun Keyu looked at Jiang Nuan with surprise and sadness.
Madam Sun frowned and said, "Miss Lu, how could it become malignant? Are you saying this just to get more money from us?"
Jin Yan looked at her and retorted, "Oh! Madam Sun, with your stinginess, why are you even here to see a doctor? Wouldn't it be better to use your money to line your coffin at home?" Why is this person being so obnoxious again?
"Madam Lu, you..." Madam Sun was furious. Jin Yan usually seemed gentle, but her words were too harsh.
"Hmph! Everyone knows you, Madam Sun, are stingy. Your own daughter is already like this, and you're still hoarding that little bit of money. Besides, has my daughter mentioned money to you? Has she?" Jin Yan glared at Madam Sun.
Madam Sun's face turned red and her neck bulged. She couldn't say anything more. Jiang Nuan was asking for a fortune, but she still had to pay.
After diagnosing, Jiang Nuan said, "I'll give you a diet plan and then some medicine. Follow this diet plan, and come back for a re-examination after a month. If you can stick to it, I will treat you. The cost isn't much, around 1 million yuan."
"A million yuan isn't much?" Madam Sun looked at Jiang Nuan in shock.
Jiang Nuan stated directly, "Fine, I've agreed to this. I won't go back on my word. Since you think it's not worth it, I'll write you a prescription, and you can buy the medicine yourselves." Jiang Nuan took out paper and a pen and wrote a long list of herbs, handing it over. "Buy these herbs yourselves. You need to buy the correct ones and good quality ones. If you buy the wrong ones or poor quality ones, there will be no effect."
Madam Sun: "..." She just said that out of annoyance. How could she buy these herbs herself? Moreover, she wouldn't know if they were genuine or fake. If she bought fakes, it would be a waste of time and effort, potentially delaying her daughter's condition.
"Miss Lu, we won't buy the herbs. Let's proceed as you said. How much is it?" Madam Sun was stumped. Her daughter had been to many hospitals, and all of them had given her a death sentence. Now that there was a chance for treatment, she wouldn't quibble over money anymore. It was just that her mouth couldn't help but say a few words.
Jiang Nuan then said, "Then go back and eat medicinal cuisine first to improve your constitution." After saying "wait a moment," Jiang Nuan went upstairs. Soon, she came down with several pre-portioned herbs and handed them to Madam Sun. "When you stew soup each time, put one packet of these herbs in. Boil three bowls of water down to one. There won't be a strong medicinal taste. After drinking it, your constitution will improve. Then, strengthen your physical exercise and go out for a run every day."
"Running?" Sun Keyu only liked to sleep in. Running was something she only did in junior or senior high school.
"Yes. Only if you cooperate with me can I cure you," Jiang Nuan said, then ushered them out. "You can leave now. You can settle the bill for these herbs later."
Madam Sun wanted to say something, but Sun Keyu stopped her. However, she couldn't stop her. Madam Sun said sarcastically, "Miss Lu, although we know you are Vicky, a very accomplished doctor, this behavior is too impolite." "I haven't finished speaking, and you're already asking me to leave?"
Jiang Nuan smiled coldly. "After the consultation, you leave. That's the rule here. If you don't want to leave, you can stay for dinner, as long as you can eat it." She couldn't stand people she disliked, not even for a moment.
Madam Sun, very angry, threatened, "Aren't you afraid we'll talk about what happened here today?"
