Chapter 209: Reopening of Xinglin Garden

“Daughter, you’ve been sick for three years. It almost took your father’s old life.”

Lu Qingzhi stabilized his emotions and recounted the entire incident from beginning to end. “Daughter, it’s a good thing you met Xiao Ye, otherwise your life would have truly been over.”

Lu Banxia said in surprise, “Father, you’re not joking, are you? How could this be true?”

If Lu Qingzhi hadn’t told her, she would have thought the other person was talking nonsense. How could this be?

“You’ll know if you look at this.”

Lu Qingzhi said, pulled out his phone, and opened a video.

Lu Banxia took it and looked, immediately startled. She asked in horror, “Dad, is this a human or a ghost?”

Lu Qingzhi sighed and said, “I recorded this yesterday when you had an episode. I originally wanted to show it to the doctors when we went to M Country for treatment.

If Dr. Ye hadn’t intervened, you would still be like this now.”

Lu Banxia was now thoroughly convinced. She walked up to Ye Bufan and bowed deeply. “Dr. Ye, thank you for saving me. From now on, I, Lu Banxia, will repay your kindness even if it means being a beast of burden.”

Ye Bufan smiled and said, “Someone once told me that if a beautiful woman says she’ll repay you by being a beast of burden, it means you’re too ugly.”

Lu Banxia’s cheeks flushed. She quickly said, “Uh… I didn’t mean that.”

“I know, it was just a joke,” Ye Bufan said. “You don’t need to thank me. I am a doctor; treating illnesses and saving lives is my duty.”

Lu Qingzhi said, “Xiao Ye, I, Lu, made a promise before that whoever cured my daughter, Xinglin Garden would be theirs.

I reiterate my promise now. From today onwards, you are the owner here.

However, I have one request that I hope you can agree to: could you let me follow you and learn Medical skill? You don’t need to pay me a single cent, just provide food.”

He now understood why Cao Xinghua had acknowledged such a Senior Brother. It turned out that his Medical skill was truly amazing, beyond their imagination.

Before Lu Banxia fell ill, all his thoughts were focused on traditional Chinese medicine. Now that his daughter’s illness was cured and he had met a Great Master like Ye Bufan, he didn’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Ye Bufan was delighted. He had originally wanted to open a medical hall, but a medical hall couldn’t have only one doctor, and he had many other things to do, so he couldn’t always be there to see patients.

Now, with a Dao expert like Lu Qingzhi offering himself, it was naturally perfect.

He said, “Then I’ll trouble Old Lu. I’ll give you 100,000 salary every month, and more if the business is good.”

Since he agreed, Lu Qingzhi immediately said joyfully, “No money, no money, just let me follow you and learn Medical skill.”

“Master Ye, can I also come to your medical hall?”

Cao Rui was very smart and realized this was a golden opportunity. He immediately came closer and said, “As long as you agree, you don’t even need to provide me food. I’ll bring my own lunch box.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “Alright then, come if you want to.”

Cao Xinghua said, “Senior Brother, since you’re opening a medical hall, I naturally can’t be absent. I’ll also come here from now on.”

Ye Bufan said, “How can that be? Aren’t you supposed to be in charge of Baicao Hall?”

Cao Xinghua said, “No need. Actually, I rarely treat patients there anymore. It’s a good opportunity to learn more from Senior Brother.”

At his age, money was no longer important to him. What he sought was to learn more Medical skill.

Especially recently, the Medical skill Ye Bufan imparted had completely convinced him. He knew that following this Senior Brother would definitely bring benefits, and even a little Medical skill passed on would be enough for him and his grandson for a lifetime.

Ye Bufan said, “Alright then. Since you’re willing to come, you’ll be in charge here when I’m not around.”

Lu Banxia said, “Dr. Ye, what about me? I also want to join your medical hall.”

Ye Bufan nodded, “You can.”

Lu Qingzhi said with a joyful expression, “Xiao Ye, when do you think we should open the medical hall?”

Xinglin Hall had been closed for three years. Now that his daughter had recovered from a serious illness, he eagerly wanted to reopen the medical hall.

Although everyone there was no longer him, it didn’t matter. What mattered was that Xinglin Garden could continue its Legacy.

Moreover, in his opinion, Ye Bufan taking over would definitely be better than him, and it could be greatly promoted.

Ye Bufan said, “The medical hall has been closed for so long. It will take a few days to prepare before opening, right?”

Lu Qingzhi said eagerly, “No need. As long as you hand the medical hall over to me, we can open for consultations tomorrow.”

Cao Xinghua said, “Qingzhi, there’s no need to be so anxious.

How about this? Let’s have a soft opening first, and after a few days, we’ll tidy up the medical hall again and then officially open.”

Ye Bufan said, “That’s a good idea. The medical hall is a bit dilapidated now. It definitely needs to be tidied up again.”

Lu Qingzhi also had no objections, as long as Xinglin Garden could resume business.

Afterward, the few of them discussed the details. Ye Bufan would provide the money, Qin Chuchu would provide the people, and with Cao Xinghua and Lu Qingzhi in charge, the matter of resuming business was quickly settled.

Just then, several people walked in from outside the medical hall and shouted loudly, “Is Dr. Lu home?”

Everyone looked out the window and saw a beautiful woman around 30 years old standing in the courtyard, followed by seven or eight strong bodyguards.

Qin Chuchu’s expression changed slightly, “Why is she here?”

It turned out that the woman in the courtyard was Joanna, Gao Jiajun’s wife.

Seeing someone had arrived, Lu Qingzhi immediately went out to greet them and asked, “That’s me. Is there something?”

Joanna raised her chin with a proud expression. Seeing Lu Qingzhi’s disheveled appearance, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

However, for the past few days, Lin Pingtao could only help Gao Jiajun alleviate the pain, but could not effectively cure the illness, which was why she came to invite Lu Qingzhi to intervene.

After all, among Jiangnan City’s three Medical skill saints, Cao Xinghua was in seclusion, leaving only Lu Qingzhi.

She said, “You are Lu Qingzhi?”

“That’s right, it’s me. Is there something?”

Lu Qingzhi no longer had the respectful demeanor he showed to Ye Bufan, and had reverted to his previous stubbornness and coldness. Although the other party clearly looked like a rich person, it didn’t make him pay any attention.

Joanna said, “I’m from the Gao Family. Gao Jiajun is my husband. I’m here to ask you to treat my husband.”

“No time. If you want to see a doctor, come to the medical hall tomorrow.”

Lu Qingzhi was now focused on reopening Xinglin Garden and had no mood for house calls.

He had heard of Gao Jiajun’s reputation, but in his eyes, he was no different from any ordinary patient.

Joanna’s expression changed. She said, “What is my husband’s status? How could he come here for treatment like everyone else?

I’m very clear about your family’s situation. As long as you can cure my husband, our Gao Family will cover all expenses for your daughter’s treatment in M Country.

Not only can we connect you with the best psychiatrists, but we can also cover all the costs.”

A look of disgust flashed across Lu Qingzhi’s face. He said coldly, “No need. My daughter’s illness has already been cured.”

“That’s impossible,” Joanna exclaimed. “Your daughter has lost her mind. Who could possibly cure her? It would be good enough to just alleviate it!”

“Nothing is impossible. I cured her.”

Ye Bufan said, stepping out of the room.
