The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 5 Going Home
Chen Xiao's words immediately caused a commotion.
Even if you have some ability, you can't be so arrogant!
Everyone felt indignant for Elder Ji.
Chen Xiao said with a serious face, "Your aptitude is mediocre, and you are already old. Even if you become my disciple, it will be difficult for you to achieve greater accomplishments."
This almost caused an uproar.
That was Elder Ji, the leading figure in the Jiangcheng Chinese medicine world. And Chen Xiao called that mediocre?
If looks could kill, Chen Xiao would have been torn to pieces.
However, compared to everyone's indignation, Elder Ji's reaction was much calmer.
He murmured, "What Master says is true. I was presumptuous."
Chen Xiao first amazed Elder Ji with his Seven Star Divine Needles, and then completely convinced him with the Plum Blossom Branding Needles.
In a moment of desperation, he knelt down to become a disciple.
But as Chen Xiao refused, he thought that someone who could cultivate a talent like Chen Xiao must have an even more extraordinary master behind him.
With his aptitude, it would be difficult to catch the eye of such a person.
Seeing Elder Ji so lonely, Chen Xiao felt a little unbearable.
So he said, "Although I won't accept you as a disciple, since we've met, if you have any doubts about medicine in the future, you can come to me to discuss them."
Elder Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He bowed and said, "Thank you, Master!"
Chen Xiao nodded and helped Liu Zhen up.
"Mom, let's go home."
"Okay, let's go home!"
Liu Zhen nodded heavily, feeling deeply gratified.
She didn't expect her son to be so skilled in medicine just after graduating from medical school.
If he were given time, how amazing would he become!
Her decades of hard work had not been in vain!
Just as he left the emergency room, Chen Xiao was stopped.
The person who stopped him was the short-haired woman.
Li Ziqing had woken up.
Although her face was still a little pale, her condition was much better than before.
Seeing Li Ziqing in this state, Chen Xiao understood why she was so popular.
This girl was too beautiful.
Not only beautiful, but she also had a unique temperament.
Not as shy as a modest young woman, nor as aloof as an orchid in a secluded valley.
Very natural and enthusiastic.
Especially when she smiled.
Other people's smiles either start from the mouth or from the eyes.
But when she smiled, her delicate little nose would wrinkle slightly first, which was especially endearing.
"Little brother, you saved my life. I can't thank you enough. I have nothing to repay you with, but please accept the two hundred thousand yuan in this card as payment."
Li Ziqing took out a bank card, expecting Chen Xiao to decline.
After all, people with such wonderful skills are very noble and regard money as dirt.
But Chen Xiao didn't refuse at all and took it directly.
Although he didn't treat diseases for money, it was justified to charge for treatment, so there was nothing wrong with taking the money.
Seeing this, Liu Zhen quietly nudged Chen Xiao and whispered, "Son, is that too much money..."
Chen Xiao thought that with his current ability, even two million yuan would be well-deserved, let alone two hundred thousand.
But before he could explain, Li Ziqing quickly said, "It's not too much, and I also want to ask little brother for a favor."
"Tell me what's the matter, girl. If my son can do it, he will definitely help you. Chen Xiao is a warmhearted person!"
Li Ziqing looked very well-behaved, and Liu Zhen liked the girl from the bottom of her heart.
So before she could say what was going on, Liu Zhen agreed for Chen Xiao first.
Li Ziqing covered her mouth and smiled, "So your name is Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao, little brother, I still have to stay in the hospital for a few days. I don't trust the doctors here, so I want to ask you to help take care of me for a few days, okay?"
After speaking, Li Ziqing blinked her big eyes and looked at Chen Xiao with a longing expression.
But Chen Xiao's expression became a little unsightly.
It sounded nice to say taking care of her for a few days, but wasn't it just being a nanny!
How could he, a dignified man, be a nanny for someone.
But before he could refuse, Liu Zhen spoke first.
"Hey, is that all? What's wrong with that? The girl gave so much money, we can't take it for nothing!"
Chen Xiao: "..."
Seeing Chen Xiao's expression, Liu Zhen immediately became unhappy.
"Why are you pulling a long face? The girl is giving so much money, we can't take it for nothing!"
Li Ziqing chuckled again.
"Auntie, you misunderstood. That money is for the diagnosis. The nursing fee is calculated separately. Don't worry, I will never mistreat your son!"
As she spoke, she winked at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was angry. His mother was selling her son!
But he had no choice, because that was his mother!
"Girl, that's enough. You really don't need to give so much. No one's money comes from thin air..."
Seeing her mother getting emotional with the girl, Chen Xiao quickly said, "I'll come find you tomorrow morning."
After speaking, he quickly pulled his mother away. If they kept chatting, his mother might really sell him off.
After Chen Xiao and his mother left, the short-haired woman still looked angry.
Li Ziqing chuckled, "What's wrong, Xiao Nan? Who are you sulking with!"
The short-haired woman, Xiao Nan, said angrily, "Sister, why do you want that stinky man to take care of you? Isn't it enough to have me by your side?"
Li Ziqing giggled, "So our Xiao Nan is jealous!"
Xiao Nan stamped her feet and said, "Ah, no, sister, didn't you say that you would never rely on those stinky men again?"
Li Ziqing pinched Xiao Nan's face and said, "My silly sister, who said I'm going to rely on stinky men again? You know, your sister likes you the most..."
……
After returning home, Liu Zhen was shocked when she saw the bare walls of the house.
"Oh dear, son, did a thief break into our house? Call the police!"
Chen Xiao didn't want to tell his mother that he had sold his belongings to pay for her medical treatment.
So he casually told a lie.
"No, I sold them. Our furniture is too old, it should have been replaced long ago. Mom, now that we have money, you can go buy a new set another day. Pick what you like."
Chen Xiao handed the bank card to his mother, but his mother didn't take it.
"Forget it, it's already sold, I think it's good this way. You keep the money and use it when you get married."
Chen Xiao was helpless, "How old am I? I'm not in a hurry to get married."
Liu Zhen rolled her eyes.
"You're not in a hurry, but Mom is! I want to have a grandson as soon as possible!"
"By the way, why haven't I seen Sun Li come home for dinner recently?"
As soon as he heard the name Sun Li, Chen Xiao's face immediately turned ugly, and even his fists clenched involuntarily.
Liu Zhen was slightly startled, "What's wrong, son? Did you two break up?"
In order not to make his mother sad, Chen Xiao said nothing, "It's nothing, don't think too much about it."
But he didn't expect his mother to be much more open-minded than he thought.
"It's okay, son, if you broke up, you broke up. Don't get upset. If you broke up, we'll find another one! A real man doesn't have to worry about not having a wife!
I think that little girl from earlier was pretty good, she's worthy of my son!"
