Chapter 41: Nian Nian’s School Opening
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Zhao Ruilong was a bit dazed, but he slowly began to try.
In the shocked gazes of everyone, Zhao Ruilong stood up from his wheelchair!
“I! I can stand up!”
Zhao Ruilong touched his legs, unable to believe what he was seeing.
He had been in a wheelchair for a year.
At first, he couldn’t accept this news, but Doctor Pu had constantly brainwashed him.
He made Zhao Ruilong truly believe that sitting in a wheelchair was already a great improvement; otherwise, he would have been bedridden and unable to take care of himself.
Having lost hope of standing again, Zhao Ruilong felt nothing but shock at being able to stand up now.
On the other side, Zhao Ya felt her nose tingle and her eyes immediately moistened upon seeing this scene.
“Grandpa, you can stand up!”
In her excitement, Zhao Ya hurriedly reached out to support Zhao Ruilong, afraid he might fall.
Zhao Hao Tian sat on the ground, staring in disbelief at his grandfather standing up.
The Zhao family members around them were just as stunned, all staring at Zhao Ruilong.
They simply couldn’t believe what they were witnessing.
“A miracle! This is simply a miracle!”
“Old Master actually stood up! My goodness!”
“He can stand up just from a few needles? Is this real or fake?!”
Zhao Ruilong tried to take a few steps and, finding nothing unusual, he immediately became emotional, tears streaming down his face.
“Doctor Bai! I truly don’t know how to repay you!”
Bai Chen smiled slightly, telling Zhao Ruilong not to be so emotional.
Then he looked at Doctor Pu, who was gaping in shock.
When Doctor Pu first saw Zhao Ruilong stand, his eyes nearly popped out.
Is this still medicine?
What he was witnessing had completely surpassed his understanding.
Seeing Doctor Pu in a daze, Bai Chen smirked in disdain.
“This is the evidence! I can make Old Master Zhao stand up! Unlike you!”
“You think I wouldn’t notice what you’ve done to Old Master Zhao’s body in the past two years?”
“You can deceive others, but you think you can deceive me?”
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Doctor Pu’s face turned pale, and he trembled, unable to speak.
Zhao Ruilong’s expression darkened upon witnessing this.
He realized that Bai Chen was speaking nothing but the truth.
Zhao Ruilong thought, perhaps Doctor Pu indeed did not hold back in tampering with his treatment these past two years!
“Good! I didn’t expect you to have such big guts!”
Zhao Ruilong looked at Doctor Pu with a dark gaze, a look as if he wanted to skin him alive.
Feeling that intense gaze, Doctor Pu was scared, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
A pungent smell of urine spread through the air.
The people around quickly covered their noses, showing expressions of disgust.
“I-I’m sorry, Old Master Zhao! I was wrong! Please spare me!”
Zhao Ruilong ignored Doctor Pu.
“Take him away, sink him!”
Upon hearing this, Doctor Pu’s face turned pale, and he begged loudly for mercy.
“Mr. Zhao, I was wrong! Mr. Bai, I was wrong! Please don’t kill me!”
At this moment, all Doctor Pu felt was regret!
If he hadn’t been greedy for success, nothing would have happened.
But now, because of his greed, he was about to lose his life.
He felt deep remorse.
Soon, some members of the Zhao family came forward and carried Doctor Pu away.
Meanwhile, Zhao Hao Tian’s face also turned pale.
Doctor Pu was the one he brought to treat his grandfather, and he had to bear some responsibility too!
Bai Chen took the silver needles out of Zhao Ruilong’s legs.
Zhao Ruilong felt his legs lose strength again and slumped back into the wheelchair.
“Doctor Bai?”
Zhao Ruilong looked at Bai Chen with some confusion.
Bai Chen replied lightly,
“This action is just a temporary stimulation. You can’t stand up with silver needles stuck in your legs forever. It will take time for your legs to recover, but it can be healed.”
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Zhao Ruilong sighed in relief, and a strong hope surged in his heart.
“Doctor Bai, I truly don’t know how to repay your kindness!”
“Zhao Ya, hurry and get that batch of hundred-year-old herbs for Doctor Bai!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya quickly ran to fetch the hundred-year-old herbs that had been prepared.
Bai Chen focused his gaze on a square box with several layers of drawers. When he opened a drawer, a strong herbal aroma wafted out.
“Mountain ginseng, ganoderma, fo-ti…”
Looking at these nearly ten strains of hundred-year-old herbs, Bai Chen felt some joy in his heart.
Although they were just ordinary herbs, they were already quite rare in this era.
With these herbs, Nian Nian’s health could improve a lot, and Nan Yue Ran’s health could also begin to recover.
Zhao Hao Tian’s attention was attracted to the batch of Chinese herbs, and he stared at them intently.
Seeing this, Zhao Ya couldn’t help but furrow her brow.
“Are you still eyeing that batch of herbs? I’ll tell you to focus your thoughts!”
Zhao Hao Tian quickly shook his head and revealed an awkward smile.
“Not at all! This batch of herbs belongs to Doctor Bai!”
Zhao Ya narrowed her eyes.
“I haven’t asked you yet, what’s your intention in wanting this batch of herbs so much?”
Zhao Hao Tian replied,
“Aren’t the Xiao family coming to Lintai soon? Didn’t they send a notice saying whoever can cure their patients will partner with them to invest in Zijin Garden?”
“I also wanted to give it a try to see if this batch of herbs could attract a miracle doctor to come.”
Just then, Zhao Hao Tian was startled and immediately looked at Bai Chen.
Zhao Ya did the same.
She had also heard about the Xiao family.
However, the Zhao family was in the herb business and didn’t have a strong interest in cooperating with the Xiao family.
Zhao Ruilong chuckled and looked at Bai Chen.
“Doctor Bai, if we’re talking about miracle doctors, I think you are the only one in Lintai who deserves that title! The Xiao family is very powerful, and if Doctor Bai takes action, I’m sure you can heal their patients!”
“If Doctor Bai wants to give it a shot, you can definitely help the Nan family gain cooperation with the Xiao family!”
Bai Chen didn’t say much; he had his own plans.
He then administered another needle to Zhao Ruilong to help stabilize his condition.
But looking at the situation today, he couldn’t help Zhao Ruilong clear his hidden ailments; they would have to make an appointment for another day.
Zhao Ruilong readily agreed.
The several of them set a new time, then respectfully saw Bai Chen out.
Back at home, Bai Chen began categorizing these herbs for three straight days.
He ground them according to their properties while preparing some additional materials from Liu Yuming.
Three days later, Bai Chen returned to the medicinal meal shop.
Today was the first day of school for Bai Nian Nian.
Nan Yue Ran was busy with her own matters at the Nan family’s company.
So the task of sending Nian Nian to school naturally fell on him.
“Daddy! I’m going to kindergarten! I’m going to make lots of good friends!”
On the way, Bai Nian Nian babbled excitedly to Bai Chen.
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation and eagerness to meet new friends.
There were children in the Nan family, but Bai Nian Nian couldn’t play well with them.
Instead, they often bullied her, and over time, she became more withdrawn.
Now that she had the chance to meet new friends and classmates, she felt very happy.
Arriving at the classroom with Bai Nian Nian, Bai Chen scanned around. The room was filled with children, chattering and making a lot of noise.
Su Qing Li noticed Bai Chen and Bai Nian Nian and quickly approached to help Nian Nian find a seat.
“Mr. Bai, just leave Nian Nian to me! I’ll take good care of her!”
Bai Chen smiled gently at Su Qing Li, radiating warmth and harmony like willow catkins in spring.
“Thank you very much, Miss Su.”
Su Qing Li found herself momentarily mesmerized by Bai Chen’s smile.
Soon, two rosy blushes appeared on her cheeks, and she hurried to seat Bai Nian Nian.
Seeing this, Bai Chen returned to the medicinal meal shop.
Until the afternoon when Nian Nian finished school, Su Qing Li arrived at the shop with Nian Nian.
Accompanying them was a young and beautiful woman.
