Chen Mu spoke with calm and dignity.
Plus, the person who approached him had a favor to ask.
Left with no choice but to nod, he said, "Alright."
Chen Mu brought the person downstairs and ordered two cups of coffee at the café.
After seeing the rice bowl on the nu, he inexplicably felt a bit hungry and looked up at the person across from him, "Uncle, do you mind if I order a bowl of rice?"
Discussing matters while eating.
It’s sowhat impolite in a café.
The man shook his head, "I don’t mind..."
Chen Mu ordered coffee and rice and paid on the "Scan to order" page.
Then looked again at the man across from him, "I probably need to clarify so things beforehand. I won’t accept any of the gift boxes you’ve brought."
The man thought he understood, "Alright, I can give you cash instead!"
Chen Mu, helpless, "I won’t take the gift boxes, nor will I take money."
"Let’s talk about why you’ve co to first."
"If it’s sothing I can help with, I will certainly do my best."
Though he spoke politely, Chen Mu was actually cautious of the man in front of him.
Even though many people online praised his dical skills as extraordinary.
In reality.
Many of those who hype him haven’t seen truly skilled Chinese dicine practitioners.
If they had, they’d naturally know how ordinary his dical skills really are.
It’s precisely because Chen Mu has a clear understanding of himself that he doesn’t naively believe.
That patients who’ve been treated by the old man would co all this way to Hai City for him because his dical skills are excellent.
Yet this person knew his ho address.
Besides people from Hai City University, only the old man could have provided the exact address.
Things the old man couldn’t solve.
The hope is here with him; Chen Mu could roughly guess the man’s intention.
That’s why he’s been playing Tai Chi with him.
"Dr. Chen, not only with you, I’ve also not seen Dr. Old Chen for many years."
As soon as the man started speaking.
Tears began to fall.
Chen Mu sighed and pushed the tissue box a little towards the man.
"Dr. Chen, you should know, many of the patients seen by Dr. Old Chen are highly accomplished individuals."
Chen Mu nodded, "I know."
Typically.
The wealthier and more influential people are the ones who care more about longevity.
With such a mindset, they tend to believe more in Chinese dicine.
Many billionaires or multimillionaires have long-term Chinese dicine practitioners maintaining their health.
The old man has achieved considerable success in the field of Chinese dicine.
Naturally, many big bosses regularly seek him for dical consultation.
Chen Mu rembers the man in front of him.
Because as a child, for several months, Chen Mu often saw this person at the old man’s clinic.
The man wiped his tears and continued, "I was born into a very wealthy family, started doing business before starting university, and by the age of thirty, my achievents had greatly surpassed my peers, becoming a renowned boss in my city."
Chen Mu perfunctorily nodded, "You’re very impressive."
Listening to students’ stories at work is one thing.
How co after a hard day at work, I still have to listen to stories from the old man’s patients?!
"At that ti, everyone who saw praised my success, but only I knew how bitter I felt inside."
"I’m the only son for three generations, married for five years but have no children."
"Many people gossiped outside, saying my wife couldn’t bear children, but only I knew she bore everything for , I’m the one who couldn’t, I’m impotent..."
"With the technology back then, I couldn’t even go for IVF."
"I originally thought I’d never have my own child, but I was lucky enough to et Dr. Old Chen."
"He cured my impotence issue, despite him telling the improvent would last only two years, but I was content."
"Because I knew those two years were stolen."
"During those two years, I hurried to have a son with my wife."
Speaking of his son.
The man’s tears couldn’t help but flow again, "My son is an exceptionally talented child, never needing us to worry about his studies."
Chen Mu: "Then you should be very happy."
The man shook his head in tears, "No! We aren’t happy at all!"
"Precisely because we raised him so well! That’s why misfortune happened!"
"Last month, my son went fishing alone and encountered a young person attempting suicide by jumping into the lake."
"There were many bystanders at that ti, none to rescue, only that foolish boy..."
"Unhesitatingly, he jumped in to save soone."
Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.
He seed to have seen related news online?
Thinking of this, Chen Mu sent a ssage to the old man.
"Sending him to , do you want to help or not help?"
The old man replied instantly.
"Follow your heart."
Follow your heart.
Follow your heart...
Chen Mu mumbled these words from the old man, gradually gnashing his teeth a bit.
What he disliked the most about the old man’s generation of old Chinese dicine practitioners was that these old n often speak halfway.
The latter half.
Requires one’s own interpretation.
Communicating with these old n is like solving riddles!
While Chen Mu was still frustrated by those four words from the old man, the man in front seed absorbed in his own emotions.
While wiping tears.
He continued sharing his story, "My son was very good at swimming, and when he went down, he might have been full of confidence."
"Thinking for sure he could bring back the person trying to commit suicide..."
"But what the foolish child didn’t consider was that so people don’t need saving; they truly want to die..."
"When he swam to the suicidal girl, he originally wanted to bring her ashore, but what he didn’t expect was that the girl started struggling violently."
"One was determined to save soone ashore, while the other was committed to rescuing soone and refusing rescue."
"In the middle of the lake, a dispute occurred, during which they got their legs entangled in the waterweeds, and in the end, neither survived..."
"When we arrived, everyone told us that we raised a good son, but I don’t want a good son; I just want a living son."
Looking at the man in front of him, crying hysterically.
Chen Mu sighed, "My condolences."
Knowing the person was deeply grieving.
Chen Mu still decided to proceed quickly: "May I ask if there’s anything I can help you with?"
The man didn’t expect Chen Mu to take the initiative, sniffled, "Dr. Chen, I went to see Dr. Old Chen this ti, hoping he could help regain my fertility as he did over a decade ago, but Dr. Old Chen said the original formula is no longer with him, it got taken away!"
"Dr. Chen! You’re not only Dr. Old Chen’s adopted son! You’re also his only disciple!"
"The original formula for treating impotence surely is with you, isn’t it!"
