Chapter 590: Chapter 248: I Will Only Save Grandpa If Tang Chenghu Comes to Beg Me
Soon, Divine Doctor Xue and his two apprentices finished their dinner.
After resting for a moment, they went to examine Tang Hengyu.
Tang Hengyu greeted Divine Doctor Xue with a smile and the two of them chatted about some symptoms and conducted basic diagnostics.
Afterward, Divine Doctor Xue asked his apprentice to bring over the medical kit and took out a row of silver needles.
Tang Xia’s eyes sparkled immediately—he was really going to perform acupuncture.
Tang Xia quickly reminded, "Dad, hurry up and tell Divine Doctor Xue not to puncture the Renzhong Acupoint."
Tang Chenghu: "Xiaxia, if you keep causing trouble, I’m going to be upset. Divine Doctor Xue is treating your grandfather, can’t you show some restraint?"
Tang Xia: "Dad, you may not believe Yang Chen, but you have to trust me. I wouldn’t joke about grandfather’s health. Just remind Divine Doctor Xue, he can take it into consideration; he doesn’t have to obey. Don’t you agree?"
Tang Chenghu: "What do you mean, agree? How can anyone interfere with how a doctor treats a patient? Don’t say anything, Divine Doctor Xue has exceptional medical skills, does he need to listen to an outsider’s advice?"
Tang Chengbao was even more displeased; he paid a hefty price and pulled some strings to bring Divine Doctor Xue from Beijing. Tang Xia’s words not only questioned Divine Doctor Xue’s medical skills but also doubted his intentions.
"Xiaxia, Divine Doctor Xue has never made a mistake. The patients he treats are dignitaries and nobility. If his medical skills were lacking, would he still be called a divine doctor? Are you implying your second uncle has ill intentions to harm your grandfather?" Tang Chengbao said with displeasure.
Tang Xia hurriedly explained, "Second uncle, please don’t misunderstand, that’s not what I meant. I know Yang Chen’s character; he wouldn’t joke about this kind of thing with me."
Tang Chengbao: "Humph! He already threatened us with a ’fish die or break the net’ scenario, saying he’d rather target a thousand wrongly than let one go. Do you think he has good intentions for us? Girl, don’t let love blind you, believing everything he says."
Two aunts also advised Tang Xia not to speak indiscriminately, as it could interfere with Divine Doctor Xue’s treatment.
Tang Xia couldn’t care less and shouted, "Divine Doctor Xue, please do not puncture my grandfather’s Renzhong Acupoint, or he’ll spit blood."
Inside, Divine Doctor Xue frowned. He actually planned to puncture the Renzhong Acupoint.
"Mr. Tang, who is shouting from outside?" Divine Doctor Xue asked with a smile.
Tang Hengyu replied cheerfully, "It’s my eldest granddaughter, Tang Xia. Divine Doctor Xue, don’t listen to her; treat as you think best."
Divine Doctor Xue said with a smile, "Why not let her in to share her thoughts? More wisdom offers more assurance."
Tang Hengyu: "Divine Doctor Xue, don’t mind her, she doesn’t know medicine. You go ahead and treat."
The more authoritative an expert is, the less they tolerate skepticism.
Moreover, Divine Doctor Xue really intended to puncture Tang Hengyu’s Renzhong Acupoint, but Tang Xia shouted not to. Wasn’t this denying his medical expertise?
Can this be tolerated?
No, it can’t!
Divine Doctor Xue said loudly, "Miss Tang, come in and speak."
Tang Chenghu sighed and whispered to Tang Xia, "Xiaxia, don’t speak carelessly. If you disrupt Divine Doctor Xue’s treatment, your grandfather bears the consequences. Understand?"
Tang Xia nodded and walked inside.
Tang Hengyu quickly reminded, "Xiaxia, don’t speak recklessly, it would be bad to disrupt Divine Doctor Xue’s treatment of grandfather."
Tang Xia quickly replied, "Grandfather, I’m just offering Divine Doctor Xue something to consider, not intending to disrupt him. Yang Chen said Divine Doctor Xue can use any method to treat grandfather, just not puncture the Renzhong Acupoint, or grandfather would vomit blood and worsen. So, I hope Divine Doctor Xue thinks carefully about whether the Renzhong Acupoint shouldn’t be touched. Please."
Divine Doctor Xue immediately asked, "Who is Yang Chen?"
Tang Xia: "He’s the young man who bid farewell to me when you arrived earlier."
Divine Doctor Xue: "Is he a doctor? Does he know medicine well?"
Tang Xia: "He’s not a doctor; nowadays he drives for ride-hailing and dabbles in investment. I don’t know if he understands medicine, but he claims he does. Grandfather, I know Yang Chen; when serious, he’s more earnest than anyone, he absolutely wouldn’t joke about such matters. So please, Divine Doctor Xue, I beg you to reconsider whether the Renzhong Acupoint shouldn’t be touched."
Divine Doctor Xue sneered—was it worth considering the words of a ride-hailing driver?
Isn’t that wasting time?
Still, since Tang Xia is the Tang family’s eldest daughter, Divine Doctor Xue had to show some respect.
Thus, he replied with a smile, "Haha... I understand, I’ll think it over carefully. Miss Tang, please leave."
Tang Xia believed it and nodded, standing up to leave.
Divine Doctor Xue’s disdainful expression revealed his true thoughts.
If Xue Wanchun, known as the divine doctor, needed to heed a ride-hailing driver’s advice, then he might as well drop his title.
Tang Chenghu reprimanded, "Xiaxia, do you realize what you did could disrupt Divine Doctor Xue and potentially harm your grandfather? Is grandfather’s health worth less than someone’s words in your heart?"
Tang Xia hurriedly explained, "Dad, that’s not what I meant. Just because grandfather’s health is paramount, I must speak up. I’m only asking Divine Doctor Xue to take it into consideration and carefully think about any possible impact involving the Renzhong Acupoint. It’s not a bad thing."
Tang Chengbao: "But he’s not a doctor! The worst thing is having an amateur direct the professional."
The family continued to blame Tang Xia, while Divine Doctor Xue began to perform acupuncture on Tang Hengyu.
