Chapter 78: Looked down on Her
“Old Master Ding had a guest in the study today, so he didn’t wait for Miss Cheng downstairs.”
In the past, every time Cheng Ling came, Ding Shun would wait for her downstairs.
Cheng Ling nodded. “Okay, I got it.”
“Then Miss Cheng go in first. I’ll get you a drink. Is Pu’er tea okay?”
“Just plain water will do, thank you.”
The housekeeper answered and went downstairs to prepare. His footsteps were so light that she couldn’t hear them at all.
Cheng Ling knocked on the door.
Old Master Ding’s voice immediately came from inside. This voice sounded much louder than the last time Cheng Ling saw him.
It seemed that after improving the prescription, his physical condition had improved.
“Is it Cheng Ling? Come in quickly.”
Cheng Ling pushed the door open. In the study room, besides Old Ding Master, there was another person who was about the same age as Old Master Ding. He had the same style as Old Ding Master — he looked very fierce.
“Old Jin, this is the godly doctor I told you about.”
Jin Wang was Ding Shun’s old friend for many years. The two of them had gone through life and death together, and both of them had suffered a lot of pain.
Jin Wang had been in other cities for a few years. It was only these two days that he came here and reconnected with Ding Shun.
He saw that Ding Shun’s health was so much better than it had been seven or eight years ago, and he heard that he had met a godly doctor, Jin Wang wanted to meet the doctor.
He didn’t expect that the doctor was such a young girl.
Jin Wang’s face immediately darkened.
“Old Ding, we’ve been friends for so many years. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, just say it. It’s fine if you don’t want to introduce me to the godly doctor. Why did you find such a little girl to brush me off?!”
Cheng Ling understood the situation just by listening to this sentence.
She had suffered such prejudice and indifference not once or twice. She had long been used to it. Therefore, when she heard Jin Wang say this, she did not show any other expression.
“You this old man, why…”
When Ding Shun heard Jin Wang say that, he became anxious.
He had been honest all his life, so how could he do such a thing?
Besides, Old Jin’s words not only insulted him but also Cheng Ling.
“Cheng Ling is the one who treated me. Believe it or not!”
Old Ding was also an impatient person. Seeing Jin Wang’s attitude, he didn’t want to talk to him.
So, Cheng Ling sat on the chair and watched the two old men who were almost 80 years old sulk at each other.
Five minutes later, no one said anything.
Therefore, Cheng Ling planned to break the deadlock.
“Well…”
“Cheng Ling, don’t worry. It’s up to this old man if he wants to treat his illness or not!”
It was the first time Cheng Ling saw such a childish side of Old Master Ding. He was so cute.
There was a knock on the door again.
“Old Master Ding, your medicine is here.”
The housekeeper brought a celadon bowl with black medicinal juice in it. It looked very bitter.
The study room was instantly filled with the smell of medicine.
Jin Wang wrinkled his nose.
“Old Ding, do you drink this every day? Is it useful? Chinese medicine has long been outdated. Western medicine is popular now. It takes effect quickly!”
Jin Wang’s sons and grandsons were abroad, so Jin Wang subconsciously supported Western medicine.
He did not expect that the godly doctor that Ding Shun recommended to him was a Chinese physician.
Jin Wang shook his head in disappointment.
Ding Shun glanced at him and drank all the medicine in one go. He wiped his mouth with a tissue.
Cheng Ling’s new prescription had a very bitter medicine. Ding Shun’s facial features were all wrinkled from bitterness. He hurriedly drank a mouthful of tea to rinse his mouth.
“Girl, this medicine is much more bitter than before.”
“Yes, but you should also feel that the effect of the medicine is greater, right? If I’m not wrong when you were walking recently, did you feel that your injured leg was much stronger?”
Ding Shun put down the teacup, and the sound of the teacup knocking against the table was heard.
“Yes, yes! It’s really amazing. Recently, I was able to throw away my walking stick and walk two or three steps by myself! I was feeling so happy!”
“The previous prescription has already helped you to recuperate your body’s foundation. Now, we can start treating your injured leg specifically.”
The housekeeper was also very happy when he heard it from the side.
The housekeeper had been with Old Master Ding for many years. He had seen Old Master Ding’s health get better little by little in these few years.
“Thank you very much, Miss Cheng. If it weren’t for you, Old Master Ding wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.”
Cheng Ling only smiled politely. She had never put on makeup. Her face was fair and she looked good as an 18-year-old girl.
“I was just doing my job.”
“Grandpa Ding, you asked me to come here today…”
“Hmph, it’s fine! I made you come here for nothing. I’m sorry, Girl.”
Ding Shun said as he glared at Jin Wang.
