Chapter 387: Excellent
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Wan was earnestly taking the old man’s pulse when Lu Lin and Yang Chao walked in.
Seeing that his grandfather actually let a young girl take his pulse, Lu Lin exclaimed in surprise, “Grandpa, your health is so precious. How can you allow her to treat you?
“She’s just a young girl. What could she possibly know? There can’t be a medical expert in a small county like this.
“Grandpa, if you’re not feeling well, I’ll take you to the hospital right away.”
Old Master Lu glared at him, but because Xia Wan was checking his pulse, he refrained from saying anything.
Xia Wan had already finished taking his pulse and withdrew her hand.
Finally, Old Master Lu had the opportunity to scold Lu Lin, “Shut up. You’re about the same age as Wanwan. Wanwan is so capable. What have you accomplished besides causing trouble since you were young?”
Being scolded by his grandfather in front of Xia Wan, Lu Lin felt both wronged and embarrassed.
“My dad is always so busy. It’s because he hasn’t managed me properly.”
Old Master Lu said bluntly, “When I was young, I was on the battlefield. Your grandmother didn’t have much time to take care of your father and uncle. Why weren’t your father and uncle as irresponsible as you when they were young?”
Lu Lin retorted with logic and evidence, “At that time, your circumstances weren’t great. Your family struggled to put food on the table. Of course, you couldn’t afford to indulge.
“But, Grandpa, you’re very successful now. You have numerous military achievements, and my father’s business is thriving. I lack nothing. Of course, I want to enjoy my youth.
“My mother said your hard work is meant to provide me with a happy life, so I don’t have to conform to others’ expectations.”
Old Master Lu was infuriated by his words.
He knew that this was the result of his daughter-in-law spoiling Lu Lin excessively. However, now that Lu Lin was about to graduate from high school, strict discipline wouldn’t yield much.
Lu Lin had been pampered by his mother ever since he was a child.
Old Master Lu rolled his eyes at him. “I can’t be bothered to deal with you. Wanwan is my guest today. Stay out of my sight and don’t ruin the atmosphere.”
It was only then that the old man noticed Yang Chao.
The Yang family and the Lu family were closely connected. Old Master Lu nodded at him. “Consider this place your home; feel free to make yourself comfortable.
“Lu Lin, Yang Chao is our guest today.”
Old Master Lu couldn’t help but add, “Look at Yang Chao’s academic performance, and then look at yours. If you were half as sensible as Yang Chao,
I wouldn’t have to scold you every day.”
Lu Lin was irritated by his words and dragged Yang Chao away.
He’d rather have a confrontation with Yang Chao outside than endure the old man’s nagging.
Yang Chao felt a bit guilty, despite having better grades than Lu Lin. He wasn’t one to strictly adhere to the rules. He’d complete his assignments and consistently ranked among the top 300 in his class.
But he was sociable and had a penchant for making friends. He was also fiercely loyal. If a friend faced trouble, he’d often stand up for them. His aunt and parents were concerned about this aspect of his personality.
However, in terms of character, he believed he was far superior to Lu Lin. At least he had never toyed with someone’s emotions, let alone gotten them pregnant. Even when he fought, it was typically in self-defense.
With these two no longer being a nuisance, Old Master Lu turned to Xia Wan and asked, “How is my health? Is there an issue?”
Xia Wan smiled. “You’re in good health, but your sleep quality has been poor lately. Do you experience dull headaches when you sleep?”
Old Master Lu’s eyes lit up. He had only half-jokingly asked Xia Wan to take his pulse. He didn’t anticipate that Xia Wan could deduce his current condition just from the pulse reading. She was even more remarkable than Xia Wan’s grandfather.
Old Master Lu nodded. “Yes, I’ve been experiencing headaches when I sleep lately, and I struggle to sleep well. I usually wake up after three to four hours of sleep.
“After that, it’ll be very difficult for me to fall asleep again..”
