Chapter 304 - 304 Cancer
304 Cancer
However, she didn’t expect Lin Yi to reject it. “No need.”
Shen Ruojing didn’t wish to force her. She then pondered a little and took a medicinal pill out to place it on the table. “This is an emergency pill. If Dean Lin feels uncomfortable, you can consume it directly and wait for the ambulance to arrive.”
Dean Lin Yi nodded. “Many thanks.”
Although her attitude was polite, it was clear that she was unhappy.
Shen Ruojing didn’t continue speaking and left.
When Lin Yi’s nanny saw this, she couldn’t help but ask, “This student’s mother has two doctorates and her skill in chinese medicine might be higher than Miss Shen Wanying’s. Why don’t you get her to help you do a check-up?”
Lin Yi glanced at the nanny. “Her resume is fake.”
The nanny was stunned. “What?”
Dean Lin Yi sighed.
She was in her seventies now and had many good friends in the country and abroad. Before Shen Ruojing brought her resume over, she had already sent someone to investigate. Shen Ruojing wasn’t someone who graduated with a doctorate from Columbia University at all!
Dean Lin Yi had always been fair and because she had been teaching students for so many years, she hated lies and hypocrisy the most.
She also wasn’t very fond of Shen Wanying. The latter was too impetuous and not real enough.
However, she tolerated her due to her good friend, Matriarch Bai.
Now, she didn’t have to tolerate Shen Ruojing, so she really wasn’t able to show a happy expression on her face.
The nanny was angered. “There are really all sorts of people nowadays.”
Lin Yi continued, “This matter is her secret. We shouldn’t discuss this privately. However, her character isn’t good, and I’m worried that the children would be led astray by her. Help me tell the teachers to pay more attention to the characters of the four children.”
“Yes.”
After the nanny finished speaking, she couldn’t help but feel worried. “But your stomach pain…”
Lin Yi also sighed. “I’ve been to the hospital so many times, but there’s no way to cure it. I’ve already sent someone to look for Divine Doctor Jing.”
The nanny was extremely worried. “However, Divine Doctor Jing is so mysterious and no one knows where he is. It is said that he was previously in Sea City, but he soon vanished again. How can we find him?”
Lin Yi spoke, “He is a professor in both chinese traditional medicine and western medicine from Columbia University. I will be able to find him if I contact him through the school. Alright, my stomach pain is very painful. You can represent me to tour the place with them and send them away.”
The nanny nodded immediately.
After Shen Ruojing’s group left the meeting room, they didn’t leave immediately. They still had to watch the children attending classes under the accompaniment of a teacher.
The school fees here were extremely expensive, and no ordinary family could afford this place.
However, there was a reason why the fees were extremely expensive.
After the tour, Shen Ruojing discovered that this kindergarten was roughly the same size as a university. Not only did it have its own racecourse, but there was also an indoor ski resort, golf range, and places for other high-end activities.
Very soon, they arrived at the children’s classrooms.
The children who were five years old didn’t learn any theoretical lessons. The teacher would play with them for the majority of the time in the morning, guiding their interests. And during the afternoon, the children could register for classes of their own interest.
The four children were of similar ages and they were sent to the same classroom.
When Shen Ruojing entered, she just so coincidentally saw a group of children surrounding the four kids. The other children were curious about them.
Those who could attend kindergarten here were all from noble families, and their upbringing was very good.
Evidently, they had chatted for a while. Chu Tianye made good use of his sociable personality and introduced their group of four to the classmates.
At this moment, everyone was asking him.
“Chu Tianye, do you guys have olympiad-level knowledge in math?”
“Naturally. My younger sister’s standard has reached the high school level!”
“In that case, are you guys well-versed in computing skills?”
“Of course, my younger brother can already manufacture robots!”
“Do you all know English?”
“Definitely. Not only English, but we also know French, Italian…” Chu Tianye had never known what it meant to keep a low profile. He wanted nothing more than to boast them to the high heavens.
He always liked such a feeling – being a moon and surrounded by stars.
As expected, the children were all stunned by him. All of them exclaimed in shock.
“Wow! Chu Tianye, you guys are so impressive. You all are so young but already know so much!”
“You guys are good-looking too!”
“Ah, Chu Tianye, do you all have any weaknesses*?”
“That’s for sure,” Chu Tianye spoke with no hesitation. “I lack money.”
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen. “…”
The two of them fell silent.
Could Chu Tianye’s money-grubbing nature be changed or not?!
The two of them felt embarrassed to continue watching any longer.
The nanny who was accompanying them couldn’t help but glare at Shen Ruojing. (Look at what you taught the child?!)
In the classroom, the other children were still very pure, and they had no concept of money.
Hence, the children all spoke out in a friendly manner.
“I have $2,000 here. Do you want it?”
“I have $5,000. I can give it to you~”
“I also have money. I have $10,000 in my card. Little Ye, do you need it?”
“…”
Everyone wanted to send money to Chu Tianye, so the nanny exhaled deeply. If Chu Tianye dared to accept the money, she would immediately report this to the dean and the dean would surely expel him.
As expected, a woman of improper character would give her children a flawed upbringing.
Just as she thought of this, she heard Chu Tianye rejecting them. “I can’t accept the money. I have to depend on myself to earn the money. My mommy said that humans cannot accept things we do not work for!”
The nanny started slightly.
She stared at Shen Ruojing dumbfoundedly and felt that she might have been too biased earlier.
This Miss Shen had taught her son such logic. This was enough to make the nanny see that her character wasn’t that bad.
Although these four children had their own minor flaws, they didn’t seem to have a problem with their moral characters…
The nanny felt guilty due to her misunderstanding of Shen Ruojing earlier.
Hence, for the later part of the tour, the nanny’s attitude became much better.
They spent over an hour plus to finish touring the kindergarten. After that, they had to leave and couldn’t disturb the children there.
The nanny sent them personally to the entrance and expressed her apology. “Originally, Dean Lin was supposed to send you all out, but she isn’t feeling too good currently, so I’m doing it on her behalf.”
Shen Ruojing took the chance to ask, “When was Dean Lin’s last check-up?”
The nanny thought about it and answered, “About a year ago. It’s roughly about time for her to do another medical check-up, but she has been too busy recently and didn’t have time to go.”
Shen Ruojing pondered.
Traditional chinese medicine emphasized looking, hearing, asking, and feeling.
Although Lin Yi didn’t let Shen Ruojing take her pulse, she had a conjecture in her heart when she saw Lin Yi’s complexion. She suddenly asked, “The cause of stomach pain might not be from her stomach. It might be possible that there are cancerous tumors in her other organs…”
After the sound of her voice faded, the nanny’s countenance immediately darkened. “Miss Shen, please speak cautiously! Dean Lin would do a medical check-up every year, and there were no signs of any cancer at all! In addition, Dean Lin has always had chronic stomach pain!”
Shen Ruojing wasn’t angry that she was interrupted.
She knew that it was extremely rude to say someone had cancer when she was not the one being invited to do the treatment. However, she still insisted on her diagnosis.
Lin Yi was fond of Chu Xiaomeng. This reason alone was enough for her to ‘interfere’.
Shen Ruojing knew that the nanny wouldn’t believe her easily. Hence, she wrote her number on a piece of paper and passed it to her. “This is my number. If Madam Lin Yi becomes unconscious or if her stomach pain intensifies, you can contact me. Early phases of cancer also include a low-temperature fever that refuses to subside…”
The more she spoke, the angrier the nanny became. “Miss Shen, enough! Dean Lin Yi didn’t mention some things because she wanted to protect your dignity. However, you shouldn’t really treat yourself as someone who graduated from a great university! Do you think you can flaunt your skills everywhere just because you learned a little medicine?”
The nanny turned and left after saying this sentence in anger.
This parent was simply too much!
She didn’t even take Dean Lin Yi’s pulse, yet she acted like she was a divine doctor? Wanting to act impressive by making shocking statements?!
Earlier, she shouldn’t have felt guilt. How could the character of someone like her who faked her resume be good?
The nanny grew angrier the more she thought about this and directly returned to the meeting room. She wanted to inform the dean about this matter, but just when she pushed the door open, she saw Dean Lin lying in a slump on her desk.
Her cheek was pressing on the desk surface and her eyes were shut. She had clearly fainted.
The nanny’s mind exploded and she suddenly recalled what Shen Ruojing had told her earlier…
[1] The raws used for the word ‘weakness’ sounds the same as ‘lack’. The other children were asking about Chu Tianye’s weakness and he did a play on words, understanding their question as, ‘what he lacks’.
