BXBX NOVEL Chapter 550 - 550: Amazing, My Granddaughter
Indeed, it got busy.
As he walked past the entrance of the clinic and saw the vigorous inscription “Tongchang Medical Center” on the plaque, he suddenly pulled the reins and stopped.
“This clinic… Isn’t it Long Shuli’s?”
“General, aren’t you going back to the manor?” Su Wei still held a horse, puzzled by Su Qingzhi’s sudden stop.
Recalling Long Shuli, Su Qingzhi felt a twinge and decided to dismount and take a look.
Both Su Qingzhi and Su Wei, clad in armor, exuded a remarkable presence. Especially Su Qingzhi, with his white hair and beard, yet vigorous and towering like a mountain, his eyes sharp as swords and lightning. The clinic’s patients kept their distance upon seeing him as if a single glance could freeze their breath.
Manager Qi, alerted by the report of two armored visitors, promptly came out to welcome them. Seeing Su Qingzhi, he couldn’t help but show deep respect. “Generals, are you here for medical treatment? Which doctor would you like to consult?”
Su Wei intended to explain that they were just here to look around, not seek medical attention.
However, when Su Qingzhi noticed a doctor’s sign hanging outside a treatment room, bearing Su Yingxue’s name, he inquired, pointing towards the room, “Which doctor is in there?”
“Oh, that’s our shop owner, Dr. Su’s treatment room. However, today being the fifteenth, Dr. Su is offering free treatment only to women. I’m afraid you won’t be able to see Dr. Su today, General. If needed, other doctors are available.” Manager Qi elaborated, providing Su Qingzhi with detailed information.
Softened by the realization that Su Yingxue was like her mother, Su Qingzhi mused, “As expected, just like her mother.”
Pity for women across the world.
“I don’t seek treatment but wish to see Dr. Su.” Su Qingzhi pointed to Su Yingxue’s treatment room.
Finding the request peculiar, Manager Qi cautiously inquired, “General, what is your relationship with Dr. Su? Why specifically see Dr. Su alone?”
Su Qingzhi chuckled, “My surname is also Su.”
“Surname Su…”
Manager Qi recalled something, suddenly understanding. “Could it be… Old General Su?”
Su Yingxue’s grandfather?
Remembering Su Yingxue mentioning that her grandfather, Old General Su, was on his way back to the capital, Su Qingzhi gestured for discretion. He didn’t want to disturb Su Yingxue, just wanting to catch a glimpse of her.
Manager Qi, respectful and careful, promptly led Su Qingzhi to a partitioned space in Su Yingxue’s treatment room, offering tea and snacks. “Old General, please wait. This is Miss’s treatment room next door. After she finishes with this patient, I’ll invite her to meet you. Miss misses you greatly. Unexpectedly, you came to the clinic first!”
Su Qingzhi hadn’t anticipated that, after years of absence from Jiang Du City, he would visit Su Yingxue’s clinic first.
As Su Yingxue sat at the table, her silhouette reflected on the window frame, displaying her upright and calm demeanor.
Occasionally, her cold voice reached through the window cracks. “If you conceal your illness, it will affect my prescription. If the medication goes awry, delaying treatment, don’t blame the doctor for being irresponsible.”
“Alright, Dr. Su, I did indeed have that.”
“Okay, understood. Go get the medicine.”
After completing a prescription, Su Yingxue couldn’t shake off the feeling of being watched.
She had learned from Zi Wei how to discern someone’s location by sound, she found it to be somewhat effective. However, when she attempted to listen, there was complete silence.
Soon, the next patient arrived, and she focused on attending to them.
Separated by a wall, Su Qingzhi and Su Wei stood at a distance..
