294 Apology
“Hehe, I’m not boasting, but my wife’s cooking is indeed superb. After I’m used to her cooking, I feel like I’m chewing on wax no matter what kind of delicious food I eat. Since Lady Qin thinks this dish is not bad, then eat more.”
Imperial Doctor Tian said with a face full of smiles.
From his eyes, one could see that the smile was real, and the pride of being proud of his wife was also real. It could be seen that the couple had a deep relationship, and with decades of mutual support, they were indeed each other’s soul partners.
Mo Ruyue’s eyes flashed with a touch of sadness.
She once had a person who could become her soul partner, but they were eventually lost in the torrent of time and space. If only he could also transmigrate to this world…
Mo Ruyue shook her head slightly and wanted to dispel that thought, but a figure inexplicably appeared in his mind.
That person always gave her a familiar feeling, but it was clearly not the face she was familiar with.
How was that possible?
How was that possible!
“Lady Qin, Lady Qin? Are you alright?”
A series of calls brought Mo Ruyue back to her senses. Seeing Imperial Doctor Tian’s worried look, Mo Ruyue immediately replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, Uncle Tian. I just thought of something and was a little absent-minded.”
“That’s good.”
Imperial Doctor Tian nodded his head in relief.
“Lady Qin…”
He had only said three more words when he was interrupted by Mo Ruyue. “Uncle Tian, you’ve already asked me to change the way I address you. In the future, you and Aunt Tian can call me Ruyue. If you keep calling me Lady Qin, it seems to be estranged from our relationship.”
“Alright, I’ll call you Ruyue from now on.”
After Imperial Doctor Tian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his senses and agreed with an excited expression.
The two of them continued to chat during the meal. It looked like they were just having a normal meal.
After he finished his last mouthful of rice and put down his bowl and chopsticks, Imperial Doctor Tian said to Mo Ruyue, “Ruyue, I actually called you here because I have something to discuss with you.”
Mo Ruyue thought that the important matter was finally here, so she said to Imperial Doctor Tian, “Uncle Tian, if there’s anything you need, just say it. As long as it’s within my means, I won’t refuse.”
Now, the only people who could make Mo Ruyue say this, other than the Liu family next door, was Imperial Doctor Tian.
After this period of contact, she was really full of admiration for this old man. A doctor’s benevolent heart was a perfect example of a person like him.
“It’s like this, I want to invite you to run Huichun Hall with me. Every month, in addition to the original share-sharing method, there will be an additional 40% of the dividends.”
Mo Ruyue didn’t expect that Imperial Doctor Tian would actually want to tell her about this matter and was a little stunned for a moment.
“Uncle Tian, why did you suddenly bring this up?”
“It’s not sudden, but I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
Imperial Doctor Tian shook his head and sighed, “Huichun Hall is my life’s work. Although it’s only in its embryonic form now, I really want to see Huichun Hall blossom everywhere.
“At that time, there will be more poor families who will benefit from this. But I also know that once Huichun Hall has formed a certain scale, it is too difficult to not change your original intention.”
“I need a person with excellent medical skills to suppress the people who may be tempted. Over the years, I have wanted to train a few people, but the final results were not satisfactory. Just when I was about to give up completely, I met you.”
Mo Ruyue listened quietly. Only now did she understand what Imperial Doctor Tian’s final “plan” was.
He had actually intended for her to inherit Huichun Hall and then develop it so that more poor people in the world could benefit from it.
This was originally the purpose of the establishment of Huichun Hall, and it had always been the principle that they pursued.
“Uncle Tian, you know that I’m afraid of trouble the most. When you asked me to come back to Huichun Hall to give medical services, I already said it. Now you want me to take over Huichun Hall.”
Mo Ruyue subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Now, she felt that it was very troublesome for her to come to give medical services once every three days. If she took over Huichun Hall, she would be tied up.
“Ruyue, I know you’re a person who’s afraid of trouble, but I also know that you’re a person who’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside. No matter what your original intention was when you first joined Huichun Hall, I believe that your thoughts must be somewhat different from before.”
It had to be said that Imperial Doctor Tian still had a good eye for people. Mo Ruyue was indeed different from before. If it was only to make money, with her medical skills, she would only choose to treat the rich. The commission would be extremely high.
However, she would still treat the poor equally, even if it took two hours or more, but this order was free of both consultation and medical fees, and it did not affect her attitude.
Just from this point alone, Imperial physician Tian firmly believed that Mo Ruyue was the best candidate to take over Huichun Hall.
He saw that Mo Ruyue still seemed to have some resistance and knew that he couldn’t be too hasty, so he said to her, “How about this, Ruyue? You don’t have to give me an answer immediately. You can take your time to think about it. Think about it carefully before you decide.”
Mo Ruyue also nodded.
This matter was indeed not as simple as accepting or rejecting. She really needed to consider it carefully.
Mo Ruyue had just returned from the Tian residence to the Huichun Hall when she saw another doctor’s assistant, Xin Yi, walking over and saying to her, “Lady Qin, the young master of Guanglai building has arrived. He has been waiting for you in the backyard for a long time.”
“Waiting for me?”
Mo Ruyue was very clear about Bai Shiyuan’s intentions, but he didn’t come if he should have come, and there was no need for him to come if he shouldn’t have.
Therefore, she only said indifferently, “If he wants to see me, let him line up at the back of the line. Everyone can line up in cold weather. How can he see me while sitting comfortably in the backyard?”
Originally, she had already made an exception for him once on account of their previous friendship. Now, she would just follow the rules and not talk about friendship.
Seeing this, Xin Yi only bowed and went to the backyard to pass the message.
Not long after, Bai Shiyuan followed behind Xin Yi, but he did not dare to come to Mo Ruyue’s side. He only cupped his hands from a distance and went to the end of the line to queue.
Perhaps it was because it was cloudy and windy in the afternoon. The number of people in the queue had decreased a lot. In addition, Mo Ruyue’s diagnosis was fast and accurate. In less than two hours, Bai Shiyuan was already standing in front of her table.
“Please take a seat. What’s wrong?”
Mo Ruyue asked in a business-like tone.
“Lady Qin, I’m here to apologize to you.”
Bai Shiyuan had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Mo Ruyue.
“Young Master, this is Huichun Hall. I’m doing a consultation for a patient. If you don’t feel sick, don’t take other people’s place. Next!”
Mo Ruyue waved to the people behind him, obviously not intending to accept Bai Shiyuan’s apology.
