Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 700: Master Shi An’s Magnum Opus, which I have read many times
Bao Jingyan escorted her to the He Residence and left first due to other matters.
Su Ruanruan hurried to the main hall of the He Residence, led by the housekeeper.
By the time she arrived, there were already more than a dozen people seated in the hall.
The old Madam He was in good spirits and personally received the guests.
He Jitang was also accompanying his mother.
As soon as Su Ruanruan arrived, the old Madam He came forward and affectionately took her hand, saying, "Jitang has invited a well-known traditional Chinese doctor from Yangcheng, Mr. Gu Dahong. In terms of seniority and reputation, he is indeed a leading elder in the field of Chinese medicine."
Su Ruanruan holds great respect for these individuals.
She greeted them with a smile.
Mr. Gu Dahong was a person of high standing, with a bit of arrogance.
He merely hummed in response.
Su Ruanruan did not mind.
However, the old Madam He, feeling that her daughter was treated coldly, specially added, "Ruanruan is the chief surgeon of the United Hospital, with godlike surgical skills, highly esteemed."
Gu Dahong snorted disdainfully once more.
Carrying an air of superiority, he said to the old Madam He, "It must indeed be extraordinary for Your Highness to praise so highly! But when compared to the history of Chinese medicine, Western medicine is far too young, with foundations that are worlds apart!"
The old Madam He’s mouth twitched slightly.
When it comes to saving lives and helping the injured, what does cultural foundation matter? Use whoever is better!
Then, Gu Dahong pulled a book from beneath his long robe.
He first cherished and wiped it as if it were a treasure, and then raised it high above his head.
Gu Dahong said, "Everyone laments the decline of our Chinese medicine, but little do they know that a book of Medical Classics has emerged! Mr. Shi An’s masterpiece, which I have read over and over!"
He had a bit of the problem of yearning for the past.
He placed the masterpiece on the mahogany table with pride, "Chinese medicine has hope!"
His impassioned speech was indeed effective.
Several practitioners of Chinese medicine present couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
[Chinese medicine is effective!]
[Mr. Shi An’s appearance is just right!]
...
Gu Dahong swept his gaze over, then said to Su Ruanruan, "I have come to B city to seek Mr. Shi An!"
The old Madam He reminded him, "I invited you here for my grandson’s health."
She added with a smile, "Why don’t you and Ruanruan discuss it together?"
Gu Dahong refused.
He said, "I do not collaborate with Western doctors, let alone with young children who barely have a full set of hair!"
As a man of status, he had a strong temperament.
The old Madam He actually managed to hold back her annoyance, turning to look at He Jitang, "Jitang?"
He Jitang had some relationship with Gu Dahong.
He especially wore a traditional long robe today to cater to the preferences of the old doctor.
He leaned forward, toying with a jade ring on his finger, and discussed with Gu Dahong, "My sister here is indeed skilled in medicine!"
Gu Dahong shook his head slightly.
He said, "As for Western medicine, I only admire Zhou Zizhuo! But my visit this time is for Mr. Shi An."
His eyes filled with admiration, "In a few days, the medical forum for Chinese and Western medicine in B city will take place, and I hear Mr. Shi An will attend. I must witness his elegance!"
The old gentleman had integrity and was not willing to bow down.
He stood up to take his leave.
He Jitang was unable to make him stay, so he courteously saw him out.
Once he left, the mockery spread.
In no time, word got out that Gu Dahong had refused Su Ruanruan, showing no interest in working with her.
The rumor was buzzing outside.
Meanwhile, Su Ruanruan was preoccupied with Bao Jingyan, for she had promised to help him pack his luggage.
He Jitang arranged a car for her, and he himself followed to the parking lot.
As Su Ruanruan was about to get into the car, He Jitang called out to her.
Su Ruanruan turned around, asking with a light smile, "Do you need something, third brother?"
He Jitang still fidgeted with the jade ring, speaking softly, "Don’t take Gu Dahong’s words to heart! He does have talent. He’s been taking care of Ci’an’s health for these past few years."
Su Ruanruan had not taken it to heart, and now felt even more grateful.
She replied softly, "I’m not upset."
