241 Why Are You Treating Him?
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Lu Qing stood at the door while Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou stood beside Old Master Lu’s bed. Old Master Lu had not woken up yet, and the room was very quiet.
Lu Qing took a few steps forward and walked to the middle of the room. He looked at Tan Rou and asked nervously, “Have you been treating my grandfather?”
Tan Rou calmly put away the acupuncture tools and smiled at him. “Didn’t you already see everything?” Anyway, now that he had found out, there was no need to deny it. She could just settle the score with him.
Lu Qing felt even more complicated after hearing that. They were classmates in the morning, but in the next moment, she had become his grandfather’s savior and the Lu family’s savior. However, he had no idea about all of this. If he hadn’t been discovered today, who knew how long more would Tan Rou hide from them?
“Why?” Lu Qing asked.
“Why did you secretly treat my grandfather? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Tan Rou didn’t answer his questions. Instead, she changed the topic to the treatment fees. “Since you’ve found out about this, let’s discuss the treatment fees.” She sat back in her chair, as if she really wanted to calculate the treatment fee with Lu Qing.
Lu Qing was dumbfounded. Didn’t he ask her why she did this? How did the conversation turn to the treatment fees?”
“Since it’s a treatment, it definitely can’t be for free.” Tan Rou counted with her fingers. “Including this treatment, there are a total of four treatments. There’s also the calming Incense and pills that I usually use. They’re all made with the best herbs. Since we are classmates, I’ll give you a 20% discount. The total is 800,000 yuan. Do you want to pay with cash or a bank transfer?”
Lu Qing was even more confused. How was it that she had already come up with a number? 800,000 yuan was not a lot of money to him. Moreover, his grandfather had to spend tens of thousands of yuan a day in the ward. The Lu family did not care about money, but Tan Rou’s words made him a little uncomfortable.
“I’ll transfer it. I don’t have that much cash on me.” Lu Qing would not deny her money. After all, his grandfather had really improved.
Tan Rou gave him her account number. “Just transfer it to this card.”
Lu Qing transferred the money to Tan Rou on the spot.
“Then we’ll leave first.” After Tan Rou received the money, she decided to leave first. “If you need further treatment, please send me a message. Of course, if you don’t want to, I have nothing to say.”
Lu Qing had already understood the importance of acupuncture treatment to his grandfather from the attending doctor. He could not find any other good Chinese medicine doctor at the moment, and every doctor had their own treatment methods. It was taboo to change doctors during the treatment process, so he still hoped that Tan Rou would continue treating his grandfather.
“Wait a minute… When is the next treatment?” Lu Qing asked.
Tan Rou knew that Lu Qing would make such a choice. She did not act arrogant and told him directly, “The next treatment is in a week. If you are worried, you can come and watch.
Lu Qing nodded. “I understand. I’ll be there during the next treatment.”
Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu packed their things and were about to leave. Lu Qing called out to them again, “My grandfather’s condition…”
Tan Rou glanced at the sleeping Old Master Lu and told Lu Qing, “He can already be discharged. It’s not a good idea to stay in the ward for a long time. Besides, he doesn’t need a breathing machine and nutrient fluids now. Instead of spending a lot of money lying in the hospital, it’s better to spend more money to nourish Old Master Lu’s body.”
She took out an ancient porcelain bottle. “This is an awakening incense. If you want Old Master Lu to wake up early, you can let him smell it. However, I suggest that he should sleep more. Sleep is very important to the elderly.”
Lu Qing took the bottle. “I understand.”
Tan Rou pushed Zhuang Liu’s wheelchair and prepared to leave. At this moment, Xiao Mo, who was supposed to be guarding the door, suddenly appeared. Seeing the room full of people and the unfriendly guard at the door, Xiao Mo shivered.
“Third Young Master, Miss Tan Rou…” The weather was hot, and Xiao Mo was very nervous. He was so anxious that he was sweating. “I… I went to the toilet.”
Tan Rou didn’t say anything. Zhuang Liu glanced at him and said, “If you hadn’t been with me all these years, I would hire a new assistant now.”
Tan Rou spoke up for Xiao Mo. “Well, let’s go first and not disturb Old Master Lu’s rest.”
