Chapter 79: Perfunctory
Even though the housekeeper and Ding Shun had just described Cheng Ling’s medical skills as godly, Jin Wang still did not believe them.
After he was injured, he had searched all over the country, hoping to improve his health.
But after taking so many years of medicine, it was useless. Thus he gave up.
Now that he had to entrust his illness to such a young girl for treatment, he was even more unwilling.
It was fine if his illness couldn’t be cured, but what if it became even worse?
His body could not withstand any more torment.
“Alright, Old Ding, stop persuading me. I don’t believe in Chinese medicine anymore.”
“I’m too lazy to persuade you. Facts speak louder than words. I’ll give you a dose of the medicine that I’m drinking now. You can take it back and try it. It’s not harmful anyway, right?”
Jin Wang snorted twice when he heard that.
“Who knows if it’s harmful? I don’t know if the Chinese medicine prescribed by this little girl is random. What if my body becomes even worse after I drink it?”
“Why are you so stubborn, Old Fellow? If you don’t believe me, just show it to another doctor. Anyway, you’ll only drink it once. You won’t die. Maybe it can even bring you back to life.”
Although Jin Wang didn’t believe Cheng Ling at all, he had been good friends with Ding Shun for so many years. Thus he didn’t want to continue talking about it. He didn’t want Ding Shun to lose face, so he nodded and agreed.
“Okay, I’ll take it back and give it a try.” The perfunctory tone was very obvious.
“Girl, can this old man take this medicine of mine?”
“I think this grandfather’s health is much better than yours in the beginning. I think his body foundation is pretty good. There’s no harm in taking a dose.”
“That’s good.”
So Ding Shun asked the housekeeper to go to the pharmacy to get a dose of medicine for Jin Wang. Jin Wang casually handed it to the assistant beside him.
“Grandpa Ding, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. My grandmother is still waiting for me at home.”
“You’re leaving already? Aren’t you staying for lunch? I asked the chef to cook a lot of dishes that you like.”
“No, I don’t think so. You have a guest here. It’s not convenient for me to disturb you.”
Moreover, this guest did not like her at all.
“What’s there to disturb? It’s not so boring to have a little girl here. I’ve been friends with this old fellow for more than 10 years. We’ve been friends for more than 10 years. There’s nothing much to talk about. Girl, you can stay.”
Cheng Ling had always been a tough-talking but soft-hearted person. She was the worst at rejecting others. When she heard Old Master Ding say this, she was embarrassed to decline again.
However, she didn’t want to stay in the study, so she found an excuse saying that she wanted to go downstairs for a walk.
“The flowers downstairs are blooming quite well. Go and take a look. Maybe some flowers can be used as medicine.”
Cheng Ling nodded.
“Okay, Grandpa Ding.” Cheng Ling suddenly remembered Ding Yu who suddenly appeared in the coffee shop yesterday afternoon. She hadn’t had a good chat with Ding Yu about what happened yesterday.
“Grandpa Ding, is Ding Yu at home?”
“Yes, he is in his room all day and doesn’t come out. He must be playing games with those scoundrels again.”
“The games nowadays are really harmful to people. You can play it with a mobile phone and an internet connection…” Ding Shun began to complain to Jin Wang about his grandson.
Cheng Ling walked out gently and closed the door.
Of course, Cheng Ling didn’t plan to look for Ding Yu. Maybe he didn’t want to see her.
Cheng Ling never brought trouble on herself.
There were very few people in the Ding residence. Besides old master Ding and Ding Yu, they were only servants.
Ding Shan was a person who was always away from home. He only knew how to spend money every day. He was indeed a stain on Old Master Ding’s life.
After Old Master Ding retired, he liked to plant flowers and raise birds at home. There were many flowers in the garden, and they all bloomed during the spring season.
The colorful flowers were very beautiful. Butterflies were dancing leisurely in the garden, and bees were also collecting nectar.
A swing had been set up in the garden. Cheng Ling walked over and sat on the swing. She swayed slowly and was lost in thought as she looked at the delicate flowers.
Her phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Lu Qi.
[ Lu Qi ]: Cheng Ling, you haven’t given me the medical bill yet. Are you going to treat me for free?
[ Farming Professional ]: The medical bills will be settled once a month to save the hassle.
[ Lu Qi ]: Okay, then you can just send me the bill through WeChat. I will transfer the payment to you directly through WeChat.
[ Farming Professional ]: Okay.
[ Lu Qi ]: Is the construction of my house completed?
