241 Why Are You Treating Him?
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Lu Qing stood at the door while Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou stood beside Old Master Luâs bed. Old Master Lu had not woken up yet, and the room was very quiet.
Lu Qing took a few steps forward and walked to the middle of the room. He looked at Tan Rou and asked nervously, âHave you been treating my grandfather?â
Tan Rou calmly put away the acupuncture tools and smiled at him. âDidnât you already see everything?â Anyway, now that he had found out, there was no need to deny it. She could just settle the score with him.
Lu Qing felt even more complicated after hearing that. They were classmates in the morning, but in the next moment, she had become his grandfatherâs savior and the Lu familyâs savior. However, he had no idea about all of this. If he hadnât been discovered today, who knew how long more would Tan Rou hide from them?
!!
âWhy?â Lu Qing asked.
âWhy did you secretly treat my grandfather? Why didnât you tell me?â
Tan Rou didnât answer his questions. Instead, she changed the topic to the treatment fees. âSince youâve found out about this, letâs discuss the treatment fees.â She sat back in her chair, as if she really wanted to calculate the treatment fee with Lu Qing.
Lu Qing was dumbfounded. Didnât he ask her why she did this? How did the conversation turn to the treatment fees?â
âSince itâs a treatment, it definitely canât be for free.â Tan Rou counted with her fingers. âIncluding this treatment, there are a total of four treatments. Thereâs also the calming Incense and pills that I usually use. Theyâre all made with the best herbs. Since we are classmates, Iâll give you a 20% discount. The total is 800,000 yuan. Do you want to pay with cash or a bank transfer?â
Lu Qing was even more confused. How was it that she had already come up with a number? 800,000 yuan was not a lot of money to him. Moreover, his grandfather had to spend tens of thousands of yuan a day in the ward. The Lu family did not care about money, but Tan Rouâs words made him a little uncomfortable.
âIâll transfer it. I donât have that much cash on me.â Lu Qing would not deny her money. After all, his grandfather had really improved.
Tan Rou gave him her account number. âJust transfer it to this card.â
Lu Qing transferred the money to Tan Rou on the spot.
âThen weâll leave first.â After Tan Rou received the money, she decided to leave first. âIf you need further treatment, please send me a message. Of course, if you donât want to, I have nothing to say.â
Lu Qing had already understood the importance of acupuncture treatment to his grandfather from the attending doctor. He could not find any other good Chinese medicine doctor at the moment, and every doctor had their own treatment methods. It was taboo to change doctors during the treatment process, so he still hoped that Tan Rou would continue treating his grandfather.
âWait a minute⦠When is the next treatment?â Lu Qing asked.
Tan Rou knew that Lu Qing would make such a choice. She did not act arrogant and told him directly, âThe next treatment is in a week. If you are worried, you can come and watch.
Lu Qing nodded. âI understand. Iâll be there during the next treatment.â
Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu packed their things and were about to leave. Lu Qing called out to them again, âMy grandfatherâs conditionâ¦â
Tan Rou glanced at the sleeping Old Master Lu and told Lu Qing, âHe can already be discharged. Itâs not a good idea to stay in the ward for a long time. Besides, he doesnât need a breathing machine and nutrient fluids now. Instead of spending a lot of money lying in the hospital, itâs better to spend more money to nourish Old Master Luâs body.â
She took out an ancient porcelain bottle. âThis is an awakening incense. If you want Old Master Lu to wake up early, you can let him smell it. However, I suggest that he should sleep more. Sleep is very important to the elderly.â
Lu Qing took the bottle. âI understand.â
Tan Rou pushed Zhuang Liuâs wheelchair and prepared to leave. At this moment, Xiao Mo, who was supposed to be guarding the door, suddenly appeared. Seeing the room full of people and the unfriendly guard at the door, Xiao Mo shivered.
âThird Young Master, Miss Tan Rouâ¦â The weather was hot, and Xiao Mo was very nervous. He was so anxious that he was sweating. âI⦠I went to the toilet.â
Tan Rou didnât say anything. Zhuang Liu glanced at him and said, âIf you hadnât been with me all these years, I would hire a new assistant now.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tan Rou spoke up for Xiao Mo. âWell, letâs go first and not disturb Old Master Luâs rest.â
