Chapter 21 Red Eyes
"Old man, please get up quickly! What are you doing? Why are you still kneeling at my door? This, this... If the neighbors knew about this, they would definitely poke me in the back... Get up, get up quickly!"
Zhang Yuan acted very flustered, as if what he saw was an incredible thing.
In fact, it was all done intentionally.
He just helped old man Li Aiping up and ignored the others, especially Li Ruobing.
Li Ruobing has been looking at Zhang Yuan.
She tried several times to make eye contact with Zhang Yuan, and then get Zhang Yuan's attention and ask her to stand up.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan deliberately avoided looking at her.
After helping Li Aiping up, he invited him home.
Seeing Zhang Yuan so enthusiastic, Li Aiping's impression of Zhang Yuan rose to a higher level. He felt more and more that Zhang Yuan was a honest, simple and kind young man.
As he and Zhang Yuan walked home, he said:
"Dr. Zhang, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry because I... have caused you so much trouble."
Zhang Yuan waved his hands repeatedly:
"Old man, as long as you are healthy and safe, it doesn't matter if I give a little. You are so old, how can you kneel down to a junior like me?"
"If I knew you hadn't left, but were still kneeling... I would have opened the door and welcomed you in the first place."
"Come on, come on, sit... sit down quickly!"
As he said that, Zhang Yuan took Li Aiping to sit on the sofa at home.
However, Li Aiping did not sit down immediately, but clapped his hands vigorously.
clap clap clap!
As Li Aiping's applause rang out, Bai Sheng, who was kneeling outside, immediately stood up.
Looking at the people behind him, he said:
"Hurry, bring the gifts in."
Then, everyone carried 10 suitcases in.
Among them, 4 suitcases contained cash and 6 suitcases contained precious Chinese medicinal materials.
After putting down the gifts, all the men in suits retreated, and only Bai Sheng stayed.
At this time, Li Ruobing naturally stopped kneeling.
She rubbed her sore knees, gritted her teeth, held the door open, and walked into Zhang Yuan's house.
Zhang Yuan still didn't go to see Li Ruobing, and repeatedly declined to say to Li Aiping:
"Mr. Li, this is unacceptable. How could you give me so many gifts?"
"That's too formal. I just helped you out. There's no need to be so formal, right?"
Li Aiping waved his hand.
"Dr. Zhang, I know everything. Because of me... you've suffered so much injustice. Even your Chinese medicine clinic was burned down. I'm sending you something to show my appreciation. You have to accept it no matter what. Otherwise, I'll feel guilty..."
"Don't worry, Doctor Zhang. When I get back, I'll immediately arrange for someone to decorate a most luxurious Chinese medicine clinic for you."
"I want to compensate you for everything you lost. You are my benefactor, and this is what I should do..."
Having said that, Li Aiping turned his head and looked at Li Ruobing.
"Um... Also, Ruobing has done a lot of wrong things, and she knows she's wrong now."
"Now, let Ruobing apologize to you as well. I hope that Dr. Zhang will look upon me and not argue with Ruobing."
Li Ruobing endured the pain in her knee and hurried to Zhang Yuan's side.
He said apologetically:
"Dr. Zhang, I was wrong about you before. I..."
Ahem! !
cough cough...
Before Li Ruobing could continue, Zhang Yuan interrupted her with a cough.
"Ms. Li, please don't... You're not wrong, how could you be wrong? So... let's talk about our relationship later."
"I just want to talk to the old man alone now. Would it be convenient for you to go out for a while?"
Li Ruobing???
She was stunned!!
I was so embarrassed standing there...
He, he, he... Is he sick... He asked me to leave in front of my dad?
This is so abominable. Don’t I, Li Ruobing, have any respect?
......
Li Aiping finally realized that her daughter must have hurt Zhang Yuan deeply, and the pain could not be resolved with a simple apology.
then.
He gave Li Ruobing a look, signaling her to leave immediately.
Li Ruobing's little mouth was flattened in grievance, and tears kept flashing in her cold and beautiful eyes.
She said nothing.
He endured the severe pain in his knees again and walked out of Zhang Yuan's house step by step. When he left, he reluctantly closed the security door.
At this time, only Zhang Yuan, Lin Weiwei, Li Aiping and Bai Sheng were left in the room.
Next, Lin Weiwei was responsible for making tea and pouring water, while Zhang Yuan and Li Aiping chatted like two old friends.
Li Aiping did not reveal his identity as the richest man, and Zhang Yuan did not ask.
After exchanging a few polite words, they inevitably talked about Li Aiping's illness, which was also the issue that Li Aiping cared about most.
Zhang Yuan took his pulse again.
This time, Zhang Yuan was even more certain that Li Aiping was 100% poisoned.
Li Aiping looked at Zhang Yuan seriously and asked the question that had been brewing in his mind for the entire trip:
"Dr. Zhang, how did you determine that I was poisoned? Was it really just by taking my pulse?"
Zhang Yuan nodded confidently.
"Yes, my method of taking the pulse is a little different from other Chinese medicine methods. It's really hard to explain in detail..."
"Mr. Li, I can tell you with certainty that your poison is incurable. It will never be cured in this lifetime, even if I try my best."
Li Aiping's face became more serious, his brows drooped, and his shoulders slumped...
Zhang Yuan continued:
"But... I can assure you that I can control this poison so that it can't take effect, thus extending your life by 20 years."
Extend life by 20 years???
20 years!!!!
Li Aiping's eyes lit up instantly, and he became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His mental state became different.
20 years, oh my god... 20 years of life!!
Dr. Zhang is worthy of being Dr. Zhang. He really did not let me down. This trip was worth it!!
It’s incredible that you can extend your life by 20 years. It’s like a dream.
I'm 64 now. If I live another 20 years, I'll be 84...
84 years old...I can’t even imagine it.
Before this, Li Aiping had consulted countless experts, whether they were top Western medicine experts and professors or masters of traditional Chinese medicine.
The most authoritative answer ever given.
Western medicine told Li Aiping that organ replacement therapy could extend his life by about 10 years. If medical technology were to advance beyond 10 years, it could extend his life even longer.
But the prerequisite is that Li Aiping spent a considerable amount of time lying on the operating table during these 10 years, and had to take drugs to prevent rejection reactions.
In short, people will suffer a little.
After all, organ replacement requires a recovery process, and the body will reject the transplant for a long time...
The answer given by the master of traditional Chinese medicine is that Li Aiping can extend his life by 5 years. This is the limit of traditional Chinese medicine and also the limit of Li Aiping's body.
A leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine told Li Aiping not to undergo Western medical surgery, as once he did, his remaining energy and vitality would be lost and he might not survive for more than three years.
Li Aiping still has great faith in traditional Chinese medicine, so he finally chose traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
Even if I can only live for 5 years, these 5 years will be more fulfilling and I won't have to suffer so much.
But now.
Zhang Yuan told him that it could extend his life by 20 years.
That’s 20 years!!!
He instantly killed the top professor of Western medicine and the master of traditional Chinese medicine.
Others might think that Zhang Yuan was speaking arrogantly at such a young age, but Li Aiping felt extremely comfortable listening to it.
And I believe this very much.
"Dr. Zhang...2...20...20 years...20 years...I...I..."
All of a sudden.
Li Aiping's eyes were red and his mouth was opening and closing, as if he had thousands of words to say.
But all he could say were a few stuttering words.
He was so happy.
This feeling is simply indescribable.
At this moment, in Li Aiping's eyes, Zhang Yuan was more approachable than his first love.
......
Zhang Yuan saw Li Aiping like this.
It is clear that the old man must be very excited and thrilled.
However, Zhang Yuan wanted to give him something more exciting, and ask the old man to help him at the same time.
Think about this.
Zhang Yuan frowned in embarrassment and said:
"Mr. Li, I understand you. Don't get excited. I know 20 years is too little. It's really too little."
"At your age, with your financial resources, and with your character... you should live 30 years, or even longer. I can indeed strive for 30 years for you..."
"It's just... this is really difficult for me... No, it's too difficult. With my current ability, I really can't do it, unless..."
When it comes to the word "unless".
Zhang Yuan deliberately emphasized his tone and paused.
His entire expression turned serious.
Li Aiping was stunned by what he heard.
What? ? ?
30 years? Just a little bit difficult for you?
Good boy...
So you can be so strong???
Now, Li Aiping was completely crazy. His old eyes turned red and tears flowed directly because he was too excited.
He grabbed Zhang Yuan's arm in a very inappropriate manner.
She looked at Zhang Yuan lovingly, even pitifully:
"Zhang... Zhang Zhang... Divine Doctor Zhang, you said... except... except what? Unless what???"
