Chapter 404: Chapter 404 Perseverance in Not Letting Stay
"Let me tell you, he just graduated and was completely conquered by those so-called principles of Divine Doctor you speak of. It’s just that he hasn’t really seen what it’s like inside the hospitals of the big city yet. Once he does, he’ll gradually be won over. Is that okay?"
"I know what you’re trying to say, and besides, don’t you just want him to stay away from here? Fine, Liu Yang, I’m now giving you a choice. You can go with your sister, or you can go to what you call the big city hospitals. I won’t stop you for either option, and it won’t affect our master-apprentice relationship, no problem with that."
In fact, Liu Zheng saw this quality in him and indeed thought he was talented. If he truly intended to stay by his side to learn these things, Liu Zheng would be willing to teach him.
Just that, even if the person does not stay here, although it can be somewhat difficult to teach him and guidance can’t be provided every moment, Liu Zheng didn’t want to go back on a decision that had been made.
Moreover, Liu Jiaxin had already spoken her mind. If he went to the Heng Family’s place now to interfere, or threatened her with the destruction of the master-apprentice relationship, it would appear as though he was being too unrighteous.
So, it was a perfect opportunity to give Liu Yang a choice. Don’t you want to learn from me? Fine, I will give you the opportunity, but there’s no need for you to stay in the clinic every day. You can continue your internship in the big hospitals and just come here when you have time; I will naturally pass on my knowledge to you.
"Master, when I agreed to follow you back to the village clinic, I had already made up my mind, you know? These past two days when you were not at the clinic and I was alone, although I only saw very common cases, I found great pleasure in it. Do you know how happy and joyful I have been these two days? It has been even more delightful than the four years I spent abroad."
"Alright, Liu Yang, so what you mean to tell me is that you’ve made up your mind to stay here, no matter how much hardship you face or whatever the future holds, none of it will shake your resolve, is that correct?"
"Exactly, that’s what I want to say. So, Master, please talk to my sister as well. Although I am not clear about the kind of relationship the two of you have, I can feel my sister would listen to you."
"What, you think she’s mine or something? Why should I listen to him? I’m just giving him some face. Liu Yang, think some more about it. I can take you away right now, and none of what’s happened before would have anything to do with me, and I’d just pretend it never happened."
"Sis, my decision remains the same. I’ve chosen to stay here, and I won’t regret it. I also hope you can respect my decision. Besides, I heard from the villagers this afternoon that there’s going to be a factory built here, and you, sis, are the investor. Why not do it? With both of us in the village, won’t we have more chances to see each other? Aren’t you always worrying about me? This way, you can see me all the time, right?"
"Don’t try to butter me up here. I’m telling you, I just feel it’s not suitable for you to be here. You’re young, you have plenty of time and space, there’s no need to waste your energy here."
"Well, since that’s the case, I can see Liu Yang has made up his mind. As his master, I am obliged to handle this matter. If he doesn’t want to go, no one else can take him away. Jia Xin, go back first."
"What do you mean by that? Are you two teaming up now to chase me away? Besides, I can come and go as I please; if I can’t, it’s none of your business."
Liu Jiaxin blurted out her protest and then once again plumped down onto a seat in the room.
Liu Zheng understood her antics all too well, so he didn’t have much he could do about it; besides, he knew that Liu Jiaxin really didn’t have the heart to do it. If she was truly considering Liu Yang’s well-being, that should have occurred to her.
He gestured to Liu Yang with a gentle wave, and then they both headed towards the door.
"Your sister is a bit angry right now, so no matter how much you talk to her, she won’t listen. Why don’t you take a walk around the village for a while? I’ll call you in half an hour. You come back then. During this half-hour, I’ll have a good talk with her. Is that okay for you?"
"I wasn’t lying just now; I really think she can take in what you say, so please, help me talk to her, okay?"
"Don’t worry, I should be able to do that. Plus, you must come back quickly today. We might need to work late tonight. I found a very special plant, so we have to extract from it to see what exactly this special plant is."
"Sure, no problem at all, Master. When do we start?"
Liu Yang’s eyes sparkled with excitement as if none of the previous events had happened. His focus was now entirely set on the tasks at hand.
"Wait a bit. After your sister is settled, then we’ll get down to work. Also, the construction crew is starting tomorrow, so we won’t have much time. If we can make use of tonight’s time, then that previous issue will just blow over."
"Okay, Master, then I’ll count on you. I’ll wait for your call."
After finishing his words, Liu Yang turned and walked away, and Liu Zheng didn’t return to the room until he was out of sight.
"Aiyo, big sis, what are you doing? You scared me to death."
Liu Zheng had barely come back when he turned around to find Liu Jiaxin staring intently at him with wide eyes as if she was about to devour him.
"I’m asking you, where did you send Liu Yang? How did you manage to dismiss him with just a few words? I’m telling you, stop playing tricks here; I must take that person with me."
"Jia Xin, why can’t you understand? And do you really think that the big city hospitals are that easy to work in? He graduated from a prestigious university and even has overseas experience, but do you really think that in the big city hospitals, those doctors will value his abilities? I’m telling you, most of the doctors there have studied abroad too."
