Chapter 1028 Queueing
Song Ran hurriedly said, "Grandfather, what should we do? Do you have any other methods? I don't want to be disfigured..."
Song Yanwang pondered for a moment, racking his brains, and finally sighed, "I don't have any good methods for now..."
"Ah?"
Song Ran was stunned, and the next moment she burst into tears, looking incredibly pitiable, a stark contrast to the domineering woman she was before.
Previously, her confidence stemmed from Song Yanwang. Now that even Song Yanwang couldn't cure her, Song Ran naturally lost her backing.
"Grandfather, you are Song Yanwang, you can decide life and death, how can you not even cure this minor ailment? You must have a way! Hurry up and think of a solution!"
Faced with Song Ran's pleas, Song Yanwang felt a surge of helplessness. He finally sighed and said, "It's true that I am Song Yanwang, but grandfather is not the real King of Hell, am I?"
Upon hearing this, Song Ran's expression froze, and a wave of despair washed over her.
Seeing Song Ran's expression, Song Yanwang also felt a pang of heartache.
Just then, Old Zhang chuckled, "Song Yanwang, I do know someone who might be able to treat your granddaughter's face."
"Who?" Song Yanwang frowned.
Song Ran was also filled with excitement and hurriedly said, "Old Zhang, who can cure my face?"
Old Zhang smiled, "Mr. Chen Xuan Chen!"
Hearing this name, the two did not react immediately, not knowing who Chen Xuan was.
Old Zhang reminded them, "It's Chen Xuan, the divine doctor from Renxin Medical Hall. Didn't he say before that he could cure Song Ran's face?"
In an instant, both of them remembered who Chen Xuan was.
At that time, as they were leaving Renxin Medical Hall, Chen Xuan had also said that if Song Yanwang couldn't cure Song Ran's face, he would eventually have to beg him.
"Him?"
Song Ran pursed her lips, clearly still unable to believe it.
No matter how she looked at it, that guy didn't seem like a divine doctor!
Song Yanwang also frowned.
He didn't believe Chen Xuan either.
"Song Yanwang, since you don't have any solutions for now, why not give it a try!"
Old Zhang said with a smile.
If Chen Xuan could really cure Song Ran's illness, the conflict between the two sides could be resolved, and Song Yanwang could legitimately stand up for Jiangnan Province and battle Park Jin Guo, the King of Korean Medicine!
Song Yanwang immediately nodded, "Alright, let's try it first!"
In fact, Song Yanwang could find other divine doctors to try, but the cost of trial and error was too high. If he couldn't cure it, it would further delay Song Ran's condition. If Song Ran was truly disfigured, how would she ever get married in the future?
He didn't believe Chen Xuan, but the fact that Chen Xuan had predicted this matter made it somewhat interesting.
Song Ran could only nod.
"However, Old Zhang, let's agree beforehand that you will be the one to speak about this."
If Song Yanwang went to someone's door to ask for medical treatment, how would outsiders perceive him if this got out?
Therefore, this matter had to be initiated by Old Zhang.
He had to consider his so-called dignity.
"Song Yanwang, please rest assured, I'll take care of this!" Old Zhang agreed with a smile.
This was not a particularly significant matter.
Thus, the group set off for Renxin Medical Hall.
On the way, Old Zhang called Renxin Medical Hall, asking them to temporarily refrain from accepting other patients until after they had seen their patients.
At this moment, at Renxin Medical Hall, Chen Xuan was treating a young woman who had been restless and dry-mouthed all night. The woman kept giving Chen Xuan seductive glances, her fair legs kicking Chen Xuan's thigh under the table.
And this woman, after Chen Xuan started treating her, had visited three times a day. This wasn't seeking medical treatment; it was practically seduction!
Chen Xuan couldn't help but cough twice, glanced at the woman, and casually prescribed a calming herbal medicine, essentially ending the consultation perfunctorily.
Seeing that Chen Xuan was not falling for it at all, the woman stamped her foot in anger, her face filled with resentment.
Beside them, Lu Shao was so envious he was about to cry.
Why didn't he encounter such good fortune?
Chen Xuan had no shortage of confidantes, while he was still a single dog. Comparing oneself to others was enough to drive a person mad.
"Next!"
Ignoring Lu Shao's envious gaze, Chen Xuan said calmly.
At this moment, Lu Shao finally remembered that he was here for a serious matter.
He hurriedly said to the patient currently being treated, "Miss, our Renxin Medical Hall has just received a notice to temporarily suspend business. If your condition is not severe, please return for now and come back tomorrow."
"If your condition is severe, please go to the hospital or another one of our medical halls!"
"Ah? What's going on?" the woman said with great dissatisfaction.
Chen Xuan also frowned and looked at Lu Shao, "Lu Shao, why are we suspending business?"
Lu Shao glanced at Chen Xuan and then recounted the call from Old Zhang.
After listening, Chen Xuan scoffed, "Since we are treating patients, we must follow the rules of Renxin Medical Hall. Listen to me, continue with business and treat patients!"
Lu Shao naturally did not object, "Yes!"
Thus, Renxin Medical Hall continued its business.
Half an hour later, Song Yanwang, Song Ran, and Old Zhang arrived at Renxin Medical Hall and saw that it was still bustling with activity, causing their brows to furrow.
Song Yanwang looked towards Old Zhang, "Old Zhang, what's going on?"
Old Zhang also frowned, "I gave instructions..."
He looked at Lu Shao and asked, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to stop business first?"
Lu Shao gave an embarrassed smile but said nothing.
Song Yanwang became somewhat annoyed and reprimanded, "If you don't even listen to this, I think your Renxin Medical Hall doesn't want to operate anymore!"
Just then, a voice rang out, "Since you are here at Renxin Medical Hall, you must abide by its rules. If you don't want to be treated, leave immediately. Our Renxin Medical Hall only has patients, not distinctions of status!"
"What right do you have to deprive others of their right to medical treatment?"
Chen Xuan strode over.
Chen Xuan's words immediately drew a round of applause!
Song Yanwang's face instantly darkened.
He glared venomously at Chen Xuan, thinking this brat was deliberately toying with him!
Old Zhang quickly stepped forward to mediate, "Mr. Chen, to be frank, the upcoming competition with the King of Korean Medicine relies on Song Yanwang. Please be lenient..."
Chen Xuan looked at Song Yanwang and said calmly, "Song Yanwang, is it? If you want me to treat your granddaughter, then queue up obediently. Otherwise, get lost immediately!"
"You..."
Song Yanwang was so furious he almost exploded.
Old Zhang quickly advised, "Song Yanwang, Mr. Chen is young and spirited. Please do not take offense."
At this moment, Song Yanwang truly wanted to turn around and leave, but looking at Chen Xuan's face, he gritted his teeth and endured it, "Then I will queue. I want to see if the new Medicine King of our Jiangnan Province is truly worthy of his title!"
Having said that, Song Yanwang pulled Song Ran's arm and stood in the long queue.
"You know better."
Chen Xuan said lightly upon seeing this.
This single sentence almost made Song Yanwang's anger flare up again.
Chen Xuan patted his backside, turned, and returned to his seat to continue treating patients.
Seeing this scene, Old Zhang felt a splitting headache. One was the person he relied on, and the other had been kind to him and was very influential. He couldn't afford to offend either of them.
Caught in the middle, he felt very uncomfortable.
While Song Yanwang was queuing, someone behind him suddenly touched his shoulder. He turned to look and saw an old woman sizing him up.
He couldn't help but frown.
The old woman looked at Song Yanwang, and then her gaze suddenly sharpened. She exclaimed excitedly, "Are you the famous doctor Song Yanwang from the provincial capital?"
Song Yanwang's expression changed. He had been recognized?
He hurriedly shook his head, "No!"
If he had been recognized elsewhere, he would have eagerly admitted it and taken photos with people. However, here, he was queuing to have his granddaughter treated. If people recognized him, wouldn't it be a huge embarrassment?
Therefore, Song Yanwang denied it outright.
