I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chapter 478 - 201: Don’t Go Out of Your Way for Treatment, Have Lu Xuan Take a Look

The living room was very quiet.

Ji Xiuwen’s sudden voice immediately drew everyone’s attention, especially the not-so-happy Lu Qinian, who instinctively turned his head to look at him, his face full of confusion and puzzlement.

Lu Guoquan also stared at him, looking at this unfamiliar face, opening his mouth but not speaking.

He didn’t recognize the person.

And didn’t know how to address him, so he could only forcibly suppress the doubt in his heart.

But it was Fangling who broke the somewhat silent atmosphere by speaking: "Ji, what do you mean by that? I didn’t quite understand."

"Could it be that Xiaoxuan has something else he’s hiding from us?"

"Fangling, he is..." Lu Guoquan hesitated and asked.

Lin Fangling introduced, "I forgot to tell you, this is Xiaoxuan’s classmate and colleague, the one you’ve heard about before, Xiaoxuan’s roommate. They both went to Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine together and later got into graduate school together."

"Ji Xiuwen!"

Lu Guoquan smacked his forehead, suddenly realizing: "I remember now, Xiaoxuan used to mention him often while he was still in school. I kept thinking, why does this young man seem so familiar? We’ve seen him several times while video chatting with Xiaoxuan."

"Hello, Uncle." Ji Xiuwen scratched the back of his head and gave an awkward smile.

Lu Guoquan nodded and asked, "By the way, Ji, what were you talking about just now? Could it be that Xiaoxuan is hiding something from us?"

Ji Xiuwen was also a bit curious, "You really don’t know?"

"Know what?" Lu Guoquan became even more confused, instinctively glancing at his son and pausing, wondering if his son was hiding something else from him?

Could he have lost his job?

Lu Guoquan was extremely worried.

Working at the street Health Center was already hard for the old man to accept, and if he lost his job, the old man, who was still quite fit, might have to report to the Yama Hall today.

Even if the old man had a good mental attitude and wasn’t too affected, the blow could still have a significant impact on his health.

Ji Xiuwen looked at Lu Xuan with a wry smile, "You really never told your family?"

To be honest, Ji Xiuwen found it a bit unbelievable.

If it were him, he probably would have bragged to his parents by now.

But he never expected Lu Xuan to keep it so tightly under wraps, without revealing a single word.

"Didn’t say anything."

"Speechless."

Ji Xiuwen was truly speechless. Such a big issue, and Lu Xuan hadn’t mentioned a single word about it. He couldn’t do it, and he doubted anyone else would either.

After all, this was a matter of bringing honor to the family. Not spreading it around was one thing, but at least he should have shared it with his family.

Yet Lu Xuan was peculiar enough not to mention a single word.

This was like wearing splendid clothes at night—what difference did it make?

"No wonder I found it increasingly odd as I listened."

Ji Xiuwen voiced his doubt, "Logically, if Grandpa Lu wasn’t feeling well, he could just come to you. Why go through so much trouble and run to the provincial city? So it turns out you never mentioned anything."

"I just felt there wasn’t much to say. If it were a big deal, I would have said something long ago. Aren’t these just small things?" Lu Xuan shrugged in explanation.

"These are still considered small things?"

Ji Xiuwen’s eyes widened, "If these are small things, then there are no big things left in this world. I really can’t understand your way of thinking. If it were me, I would have confessed to my family long ago."

"Did you tell your parents about your current situation?"

Ji Xiuwen shook his head, "No, but my situation is different, okay? Your situation and mine are not the same. If I were like you, I would have said something already. It’s just that I haven’t achieved anything yet, so what could I say? Should I go and say that after coming to the Health Center, I found out one of my university classmates was here?"

Ji Xiuwen looked at Lu Xuan with exasperation.

Uh...

In the living room, Lu Xuan and Ji Xiuwen’s actions left the family stunned. Lu Guoquan blinked in confusion, hesitating in disbelief, "Could it be that Xiaoxuan is hiding something else from us?"

"What is it?"

"Something even bigger than working at the street Health Center?"

Everyone started asking in succession.

Lin Yongzhen, though silent, was frowning at this moment. Could his cousin, who had always been excellent since childhood, have really lost his job?

He felt a vague sense of worry.

"Yes, Uncle," Ji Xiuwen nodded crisply, the wry smile on his face not completely disappearing, clearly finding it hard to comprehend why Lu Xuan hadn’t shared such matters with his family at all.

"Just now, when I heard you and everyone else talking about Grandpa Lu’s health, I kept thinking, why does everyone insist on the old man seeing a Western doctor? Isn’t seeing a Chinese doctor better? Besides, seeing a Chinese doctor is not only safer and more effective, but it also saves a lot of money. When it comes to treating cancer, Chinese medicine is more effective. Patients feel more comfortable, unlike Western medicine, which fails to cure and instead leaves patients to die in pain."

Ji Xiuwen’s extreme recognition made Lu Qinian’s eyes light up, "Guoquan, did you hear that? When it comes to treating cancer, our Chinese medicine is the way to go. Not only is it effective, but it also saves money."

"Old man, what I said isn’t particularly about saving money. Effectiveness, well, it depends on the situation. If you find the right doctor, the effect is definitely good. But if you encounter an incompetent doctor, there’s a big problem too. Incompetent doctors can kill without bleeding," Ji Xiuwen didn’t expect his words to cause a misunderstanding with Lu Qinian, so he quickly explained.
