Chapter 229 - 229 Cold
229 Cold
“Hello, Grandpa Chen.” Jing Yan sat on the side and politely greeted the old man.
Doctor Chen nodded with a smile. After sizing up Jing Yan, he turned to Old Master Jing enviously. “Your grandson is much better than my disappointing son!”
Old Master Jing raised his head proudly and said, “Jing Yan is just managing the company and supporting the Jing family. He is not as outstanding as you say.”
Doctor Chen snorted and rolled his eyes at Jing Yan’s shameless face. Then, he smiled kindly and asked Jing Yan to hold out his arm to take his pulse.
Old Master Jing knew that he did not like people talking to him when he was treating patients, so he stopped bragging about Jing Yan. Instead, he stood to the side nervously, waiting for the results of his diagnosis.
After a while, Doctor Chen slowly retracted his hand and heaved a sigh of relief. He deliberately said in a serious tone, “Old Jing, your grandson’s health…”
“What?” Old Master Jing was on tenterhooks by his slow speech. He held his breath and waited for him to continue, but he suddenly stopped talking. Old Master Jing slapped his thigh and urged him, “You can continue! What is going on? Is he okay?”
“I say, Old Jing, you’re being a little unreasonable.” Doctor Chen put away his things slowly and put away the pad and the spare silver needles into the medicine box. Then he looked up at Old Master Jing with a look of condemnation. “Your grandson is not sick. Why did you ask me to see you on New Year’s Eve? The person I’m treating is you!”
“I’m not sick!” Old Master Jing straightened his back and denied it. “I’m in good health. Don’t worry about me. Is Jing Yan’s body really fine?”
Doctor Chen sneered, picked up the first aid kit, and left. “If you don’t believe me, why did you call me here? Transfer the consultation fee to my card, not a single cent less!”
“Wait a minute!” Old Master Jing glanced at Jing Yan, who was sitting in his original position with a calm face, and walked to Doctor Chen. He asked, “Did your medical skills deteriorate because you didn’t treat people after retirement? If Jing Yan wasn’t sick, why would he suddenly faint?”
“What unconscious?” Doctor Chen glanced at him in disdain and could not help but correct him, “He was just in a deep sleep, he wasn’t unconscious! Jing Yan is in good health, his pulse is steady and strong, much better than you, old man. Instead of worrying about him, you should worry about yourself!”
“Grandpa Chen.” Jing Yan suddenly stood up and walked to Doctor Chen. He said respectfully, “Can I trouble you to check my grandfather’s pulse again? I believe in your medical skills. Don’t worry, I’ll pay you your full fee.”
“I have nothing to see.” Old Master Jing immediately put his hands behind his back and refused to see the doctor.
Doctor Chen looked at Old Master Jing, then turned to Jing Yan and said, “I’ve been a doctor for so many years. Sometimes, I can tell a patient’s physical condition just by looking at their physiognomy. Your grandfather has an old illness from when he was young. In addition, his heart is not good. If he wants to live a long life, he can only take good care of himself and worry less. For example, it’s best if he ignores today’s incident. Otherwise, if he continues to work too hard, sooner or later, there will be problems.”
“I understand, Grandpa Chen.” Jing Yan respectfully sent Doctor Chen off and returned to the study. He sat beside Old Master Jing and sighed. “Grandpa, I know my body’s condition very well. It’s really not a big problem. I’ll be fine after a while.”
Old Master Jing frowned and was about to say something when Butler Li changed the subject. “It’s time for lunch. Miss He is still in the laboratory. I’m afraid she’s starving.”
“I’ll call Miaomiao out for lunch then.” Jing Yan got up and left the study without waiting for the old man to say anything, for fear that he would continue to ask.
In the top-floor laboratory, He Miao’s work efficiency had been very low the entire morning. With things hidden in her heart, she was easily distracted.
Just now, she had almost mixed up the spices and almost wasted all her efforts. She had to take off her gloves and go out for some fresh air, but when she looked up, she saw Jing Yan standing at the door.
He Miao quickly jogged over and took his hand to check it. She was only relieved when he saw no wound. “Why are you here? Did you rest well? Do you want to sleep a little longer?”
“If I didn’t come, were you planning to lock yourself in the laboratory and starve?” Jing Yan stared at He Miao, who was only as tall as his chest. He suppressed the urge to stick to her and never let go. He turned around and walked out of the laboratory. “It’s time to go downstairs. Grandpa is still waiting for us.”
“Jing Yan…” He Miao called out to him hesitantly, then ran to his side and asked worriedly, “Did something happen? You can tell me and we’ll think of a way to solve it together.”
