"It shouldn't be wrong!" Hu Dongfeng chuckled, "I specifically inquired!"
Lu Fan, nonchalantly eating beef, seemed unconcerned.
Hu Dongfeng recognized him instantly and hurried forward, saying, "Little Divine Doctor, you mentioned you'd treat a patient for me when you had time. I've come specifically for that."
"Is there a mistake? How can he possibly be the Little Divine Doctor looking like this?" Lin Xiuhua asked in surprise.
The young man before them was handsome, dressed in a suit, clearly not an ordinary person. If he could be introduced to Yang Zixin, she would be quite pleased.
"Auntie, there's absolutely no mistake," Hu Dongfeng reiterated.
"I did say that!" Lu Fan nodded. "But I'm still eating. I'm not free right now!"
"This..."
Hu Dongfeng felt a bit awkward. He had personally witnessed Lu Fan's exceptional medical skills and dared not offend him. However, judging by Lu Fan's demeanor, he seemed unwilling to act. "To be frank, I am from the Hu family in Chuzhou. If the Little Divine Doctor can cure the old lady's illness, the reward will certainly not be lacking."
Lu Fan did not reply, continuing to eat. Many people wanted him to treat them, and this was the first time someone had come directly to his home.
"Xiao Fan, do you really know medicine?" Yang Zixin asked quietly. "Otherwise, why would people find their way here?"
"I do know a little!" Lu Fan said modestly. "When I went to buy medicine today, I happened to save someone. Perhaps he saw me!"
"So you are the young master of the Hu family!" Lin Xiuhua quickly smiled. "We've long heard that the Hu family in Chuzhou has many businesses. If the young master of the Hu family personally visits, how can we not oblige!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiuhua looked at Lu Fan. "Young Master Hu is personally inviting you, what are you still putting on airs for?"
Lu Fan looked innocent. He hadn't finished his meal and was being forced to attend to guests, which displeased him.
"Auntie, let the Divine Doctor finish eating. I'll wait here," Hu Dongfeng said with a smile.
"Then hurry inside, it's windy outside!" Lin Xiuhua said softly.
Hu Dongfeng didn't mind and walked in directly, holding a few items. "These are gifts I brought, just a small token."
"You didn't have to bring gifts!" Lin Xiuhua said, smiling apologetically.
Looking at the gift boxes, she became even more excited. The Hu family was a prominent family, and their gifts were likely extraordinary.
"Xiao Fan, do you really know medicine?" Yang Shiwen asked curiously.
"I know a little!" Lu Fan nodded. "As for whether I can cure the patient, I don't know!"
"In that case, you should go with him," Yang Shiwen said. "After all, he made a personal trip, and we can't let him come for nothing!" Su Dan Novel Network
Lu Fan nodded and then walked towards the door.
Hu Dongfeng quickly followed, showing great courtesy. Although Lu Fan claimed uncertainty, Hu Dongfeng was well aware that Lu Fan's medical skills were exceptional.
After they left, Yang Zixin asked in surprise, "Dad, does Xiao Fan really understand medicine?"
"How would I know!" Yang Shiwen said helplessly. "We haven't seen him for so many years. Perhaps Xiao Fan received training from a renowned master somewhere!"
"If that's the case, you should be secretly delighted!" Lin Xiuhua retorted. "At least he won't be a burden to the family and has a skill!"
Upon reaching the entrance of the Chuzhou apartment, Lu Fan remarked, "If it weren't for my aunt, I wouldn't treat illnesses so readily!"
"The Little Divine Doctor speaks the truth," Hu Dongfeng said quickly. "As long as the old lady's illness can be cured, you will certainly be well rewarded, sir!"
Lu Fan said nothing more. Not only in Chuzhou, but perhaps in the entire country, there were few people as wealthy as him. He didn't care about money.
Shortly thereafter, they arrived at the Hu family residence. The house was brightly lit. In a side courtyard of the Hu family, many people had gathered. Some wore traditional Chinese robes, while others looked frail and aged.
Hu Donghai stood aside, his expression grave. "Elder Zhao, is there still hope for the old lady's illness?"
"To be honest, in all my years of practicing medicine, I have never encountered such a condition," Elder Zhao shook his head, stroking his beard with a troubled look.
Beside him were no less than ten other physicians, all invited. Unfortunately, they were all helpless and could only exchange bewildered glances.
Hu Donghai, Hu Dongfeng's father and the head of the Hu family, was weighed down by the old lady's critical condition.
"Dad, I've brought the Divine Doctor!" Hu Dongfeng hurried over.
Hu Donghai's eyes lit up with joy. He had heard that Hu Dongfeng had found a divine doctor with extremely high medical skills, and if he could be invited, he would surely be able to cure the old lady.
Now that the old lady was on the verge of death and the divine doctor had been summoned, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. "Where is the Divine Doctor?"
"This is Divine Doctor Lu!" Hu Dongfeng introduced. "If he takes action, the old lady should be able to escape danger!"
Everyone turned to look. Upon seeing Lu Fan, they were all somewhat perplexed, especially the elderly traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who looked upon him with disdain.
Lu Fan appeared so young; how could he be called a divine doctor? All the people present, with their illustrious resumes, dared not claim to be divine doctors.
"This is Divine Doctor Lu?" Hu Donghai said awkwardly. "Are you sure you're not mistaken? This young man is so young, he doesn't look like someone who understands medicine!"
"You can't judge a person by their appearance, just as you can't measure the sea with a dipper," Lu Fan said with a smile. "If Boss Hu judges by appearance, I'll consider this visit a waste of time!"
Lu Fan made as if to leave, showing no concern. In ordinary times, countless people would beg him to treat them; how could he endure such humiliation here today?
"Divine Doctor Lu, my father misspoke. Please don't take it to heart," Hu Dongfeng quickly said.
Hu Donghai also appeared somewhat embarrassed. "Young man, please don't be offended. I was just anxious, which is why I said that. After all, guests are guests, and the Hu family would never lose its hospitality!"
"That being the case, then let's proceed!"
Lu Fan stopped and stepped forward slightly, ready to examine the old lady.
Hu Donghai looked puzzled, unsure if Lu Fan truly understood medicine, given his extreme youth.
"Dad, don't worry."
Hu Dongfeng said, "Divine Doctor Lu's medical skills are definitely not inferior."
"In the medical field, the skilled are respected," Elder Zhao frowned. "But this young man is too young. Even we, the older generation of Chinese medicine practitioners, are helpless. How can he have a solution!"
"Elder Zhao also said that the skilled are respected," Hu Dongfeng chuckled. "Medical skill is not about age, but about one's methods. I believe in Divine Doctor Lu!"
Elder Zhao said nothing more. He was indeed helpless. It wasn't impossible for Lu Fan to try, but he held no hope for him.
"If I'm not mistaken, the old lady's time has come," an old Chinese medicine practitioner whispered. "This young man coming forward will likely just be for show and won't change anything!"
"You should all shut up!"
Lu Fan said indignantly, "If you disturb my practice and something happens to the old lady, will you take responsibility?"
