The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter 83 It's really difficult to see a doctor

As Butler Zhou watched Chu Ruohan eagerly lead the quack doctor upstairs, he shook his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He understood the young lady's feelings, but how could a quack doctor possibly cure the master's illness?

Normally, the master and young master would probably only appreciate the young lady's filial piety. However, this morning, a guest had just come by, and the master was currently in a bad mood. He would likely be irritable and scold the young lady for being insensible...

"Alas!" The old steward turned around, his brows furrowed deeply. Now that the master had been ill for two months, he was afraid he would lose his position in the patrol department.

That would have been fine, since the master had already been aware of the situation and had been trying to get his own deputy director Zhao to take over. But now the situation has changed, and the wind is blowing in the wrong direction.

Today, a guest has come, ostensibly to visit the master, but in reality, he has come to sound out the master's opinion and try to persuade him to give up the fight.

If, in the end, the master is forced to lose this battle due to pressure, then his many years of hard work in the patrol bureau will likely come to an end!

Mo Bai was naturally unaware of the many causes and effects involved, and he never imagined that he would choose such an unlucky time to visit.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't be moved. After all, although he desperately needed help, he wasn't there to be subservient, but genuinely to get treatment. If the host family wasn't willing, so be it. There's no shortage of influential people in the world, nor is there a shortage of influential people with disabilities. There will always be opportunities.

As Chu Ruohan went upstairs and turned a corner, she arrived at the door of the master bedroom.

The room wasn't very soundproof; Mo Bai could hear faint conversations coming from inside as he stood at the door.

"Dr. Xiaobai, please wait a moment!" Chu Ruohan was well-mannered and smiled at Mo Bai first.

"Miss Chu, please go ahead!" Mo Bai nodded, holding the signboard in his hand and waiting.

Chu Ruohan knocked on the door: "Father, eldest brother, I'm back. May I come in?"

Mo Bai heard the conversation inside immediately stop, and soon footsteps approached with brisk steps. Mo Bai thought it must be the young man from yesterday.

Sure enough, the door opened, and a man in a suit looked towards the door with a furrowed brow. Before even glancing at Mo Bai, he blurted out, "Ruohan, weren't you supposed to be going to class today? Why are you here at this hour..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Mo Bai standing not far behind Chu Ruohan. Her eyes widened in surprise, but she immediately remembered who Mo Bai was, and her face darkened: "What are you doing here?"

The tone was unpleasant, but Mo Bai remained calm and composed, showing no change in expression. He simply nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

Not surprisingly, this young man, being from an official family, naturally had a certain arrogance. Unlike Miss Chu, who was still inexperienced and somewhat naive, he had already formed his own opinions. It was not surprising that he felt aversion towards this quack doctor.

"Brother... I invited Dr. Bai to treat Father." Chu Ruohan didn't seem too afraid of the young man, though she frowned slightly.

He then pushed the young man aside and said directly to Mo Bai, "Dr. Bai, please!"

Mo Bai lowered his gaze slightly, nodded, and then held the signboard to go inside.

"Wait!" the young man shouted again, this time not at Mo Bai, but sternly at his younger sister Ruohan: "Ruohan, just focus on your studies and stop causing trouble, okay?"

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Mo Bai, his eyes filled with authority, and gestured to Mo Bai, saying, "I'm sorry, we don't need a doctor here, but since my sister invited you here, we won't let you come for nothing. The steward will take care of it for you!"

This time, Mo Bai spoke up, glancing indifferently at the young man before smiling slightly and saying, "In that case, I'll take my leave!"

After saying that, he nodded slightly to Chu Ruohan, then turned around and left calmly.

Chu Ruohan's eyes immediately lit up with anxiety, and she stepped forward to grab Mo Bai's sleeve, saying, "No, Doctor Xiao Bai, wait!"

"Ruohan!" The young man said angrily.

"Brother, I went to great lengths to invite Dr. Bai, what are you doing..." Chu Ruohan turned around, her eyes already filled with tears.

"Ruohan, our family hasn't reached the point of desperate measures. You're still young, and there are some things you don't understand." Seeing his younger sister about to cry, the young man was angry, but he lowered his voice.

At this moment, Mo Bai was being held back by Chu Ruohan and couldn't leave. However, he understood Chu Ruohan's feelings of treating him as a lifeline. After all, he hadn't seen much of the world and was always prone to having expectations of others.

His brother, however, was clearly not like that. Having seen too many famous doctors, he was already pessimistic and would not place his hopes on a quack doctor. He would probably only think of him as an ignorant and arrogant swindler.

Seeing the siblings like this, Mo Bai sighed inwardly, for he had indeed rarely seen such a scene in his previous life.

The main reason is that those who came to him for treatment in their past lives were all very respectful and just wanted him to do it. Who would refuse?

However, moved by Chu Ruohan's helpless filial piety, Mo Bai turned around, his eyes clear and his voice gentle without a trace of anger, and said, "Mr. Chu, your sister has already told me about your father's condition. Otherwise, may I go in and take a look at your father? If I am unable to help, I will not charge you a single penny, thus fulfilling your sister's persistent wish. What do you think?"

The young man looked up, clearly in a bad mood. Hearing Mo Bai speak, he raised an eyebrow at him, but perhaps seeing Mo Bai's calm and indifferent expression, he refrained from speaking harshly. However, he still frowned and asked, "Have you heard your sister mention that my father has already consulted many famous doctors?"

Obviously, this is telling Mo Bai to be sensible. Do you think a quack doctor can compare to those famous doctors?

Mo Bai didn't understand why this young man disliked him so much. Since he was already here, there was no harm in taking a look.

Seeing his persistence, he could only shake his head and say, "Alright, in that case, I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, he looked at Chu Ruohan, who was still holding onto him, and said softly, "Miss Chu, please let go!"

"No, little doctor, please don't go! You must have a way, right? Please don't be angry, just take a look at my father, okay!" Chu Ruohan burst into tears.

Mo Bai sighed helplessly. It wasn't that he didn't want to watch, it was that his family wouldn't allow it!

"Ruohan, listen to me, let go! What kind of behavior is this, a young lady like you, pulling and tugging like this!" Although the young man was reluctant, he still stepped forward, grabbed Chu Ruohan, and made her let go.

"No, I won't! I won't let you go until you agree!" Chu Ruohan cried as she lashed out at the young man.

It's obvious that although this girl seems polite and sensible, she must have been spoiled at home and is not afraid of her brother.

"What are you all arguing about?"

Just as the stalemate was at hand, a deep, unclear shout suddenly came from inside the room. It sounded like a middle-aged man, and his voice was filled with anger.

"Father, my brother bullied me. He stopped me from finding a doctor to treat you..." Before the young man could speak, Chu Ruohan cried out into the house.

"Ruohan, if you don't let go, I'll get angry!" The young man ignored what was happening inside the house, his face growing even angrier, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"No, I won't..."

"Stop arguing, Ruoxian, let them in!" A voice came from inside the house again.

Once the order was given from inside, the standoff outside would naturally end.

Chu Ruohan was overjoyed and pulled Mo Bai inside.

"Miss Chu, let go!" Mo Bai's eyes flickered slightly. To be honest, he was really a little uncomfortable.

There was a time when treating someone's illness was like this, as if the patient were being granted mercy?

Perhaps only that one time with the Empress was there that he had no choice, after all, there was a bond of blood ties.

In the end, Mo Bai followed Chu Ruohan, shaking his head slightly and entering the house with a sense of helplessness amidst the young man's angry gaze.

This life is different from the previous life.

Upon entering the room, the first thing you see is a middle-aged man, around forty years old, lying on the bed in front of you.

At this moment, the man's face, mouth, and eyes were clearly out of place, but his gaze exuded a certain imposing power.

Even the brother and sister, after entering the room, dared not make a fuss as before, and stood properly to one side to greet the person on the bed.

Mo Bai remained unaffected by this imposing presence, standing calmly as Chu Ruo stepped forward to explain the situation to the middle-aged man.

Chu Ruohan wiped away her tears and looked at her father pitifully, fearing that he would not allow it.

As the middle-aged man listened to Chu Ruoxian introduce Mo Bai's identity, although his expression was somewhat unnatural, Mo Bai could still see that he frowned, clearly as displeased as Chu Ruoxian.

But in the end, he glanced at his daughter, didn't get angry, and said in a deep voice, "Ruohan, why are you skipping school again? Why are you so disobedient?"

"Father..." Chu Ruohan lowered her head.

"Alright, your elder brother will take care of Father's illness. You just focus on your studies. If it's alright, send someone to take her back to school!" the middle-aged man instructed.

"Father, I'm not in a hurry. Let the doctor examine you first, and I'll go in a bit!" Chu Ruohan was naturally unwilling.

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened, but seeing his daughter's eyes brimming with tears again, he seemed to suppress his anger: "Listen to me, the doctor will treat your father; you don't need to worry about it!"

Whether Chu Ruohan liked it or not, she was eventually taken downstairs.

Inside the room, only Mo Bai and the middle-aged man remained.

The middle-aged man then looked at him, but his eyes seemed unmoved, clearly showing that he had no hope of Mo Bai coming.

Mo Bai stood calmly in the room, showing no sign of restraint, and his eyes remained completely free of any tension.

After a while, the middle-aged man seemed to become interested. His gaze swept over the signboard that Mo Bai had been holding, and he mumbled, "Open it and let's see!"
