Healing Doctor

Chapter 81 What is a Trek butterfly?

Once inside the private restaurant, Ji Xiang found a private room and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Ji Xiang pushed open the door and went in.

Van Cleef & Arpels limited edition floral bracelet, Chopard full diamond watch, Cartier Saint Laurent necklace, Hermès limited edition bag, LV latest clothing, Dior high heels.

A strong smell of money wafted towards me.

"Hello, I'm Ji Xiang." Ji Xiang glanced at the two women chatting and laughing in the private room and greeted them politely.

Ji Xiang was puzzled when the woman brought another person with her on the blind date. However, he was unaware of the rules of blind dates and assumed it was normal.

"Ji Xiang, hello, my name is Feng Yuqing." The young girl stood up, smiled and extended her hand, looking Ji Xiang up and down.

Even as she lagged behind, the girl's gaze lingered on Ji Xiang.

"Are there flowers growing on your face?" Ji Xiang asked with a smile.

"It's not what I imagined," Feng Yuqing said.

"What's wrong?"

"Uncle Ji and Aunt Qian made a secret engagement back then, even I, a junior, know about it, and I'm so envious." Feng Yuqing continued to look Ji Xiang up and down, as if he were a bronze artifact from the Warring States period that had just been dug out of the ground.

Ji Xiang even had a feeling that this girl wanted to come up and mess with him.

As for her mention of her father's past, the subtext was that she married into his family, but Ji Xiang didn't care.

"My dad told me I had to go on a blind date, which annoyed me to death. They really worry about me," Feng Yuqing said. "But when I heard it was you, I agreed."

"Ha, why?"

"There are rumors circulating in our circle about some of the important things your father did back then. I'm curious because your father has never been to Jiangnan and has never had the chance to meet him."

Ji Xiang smiled.

"In preparation for this blind date, I've been cramming on a ton of novels about live-in sons-in-law these past few days."

"!!!" Ji Xiang immediately thought this girl was crazy.

"If only life were like a novel." Feng Yuqing sighed, then a bright smile appeared on her face. "Unfortunately, Uncle Ji earned his great reputation with his bare hands back then, which wasn't written in the novel."

"They're all just random writings; I never read them." Ji Xiang's gaze fell on the older woman.

"My name is Liu Hui, and I'm the young lady's agent."

"Hello, Sister Liu," Ji Xiang greeted her.

"Ji Xiang, that's a pretty rustic name," Feng Yuqing said bluntly. "These past few years, you two have only come home for the New Year to pay a visit and then leave again. You can't even catch a glimpse of the legends from back then. Where's your old man?"

Ji Xiang remained silent.

It's really strange that the girl I'm on a blind date keeps talking about my father-in-law.

He had heard stories about his grandfather since he was a child, but he never thought much of them. He never imagined that they would become legends among the younger generation.

So much so that during blind dates, the other person might be more interested in her own father.

"Yuqing," Liu Hui interrupted Feng Yuqing with a smile, "You two chat, I'll go order. Ji..."

"Just call me Ji Xiang. I'm just an ordinary person. I can't accept being called Young Master."

"Are there any dietary restrictions?" Liu Hui asked.

"No, anything is fine."

Liu Hui gave Feng Yuqing a wink and went out to order food.

"Ji Xiang, what does your dad do now?" Feng Yuqing asked. "Sweep the streets every day?"

"..." Ji Xiang was completely baffled by the girl's thought process. "Why sweep the streets?"

"The most powerful masters are often hidden among ordinary people!"

"No, they cook for me every day."

"Wow, you actually eat food cooked by someone this amazing?"

"He's my dad," Ji Xiang said helplessly.

This girl seems to have some mental issues, but that's alright, at least she's not putting on airs and doesn't seem embarrassed.

"The Northeast is so cold, it's completely unsuitable for human habitation. I thought you and Uncle Ji lived like wild men in seclusion."

"No, not at all," Ji Xiang said. "Why did you suddenly come?"

"Sister Liu took a liking to a young girl, saying she had an exceptionally good voice, a heavenly voice, and that the girl group needed someone to lead the group. Unfortunately, the girl fell ill shortly after being chosen, and her condition hasn't improved."

What a coincidence? Ji Xiang was taken aback.

"Are girl groups interesting?" Ji Xiang asked.

"It's alright, the main thing is that I want to hold a concert. As for the rest, it doesn't matter." Feng Yuqing's eyes were still glancing back and forth between Ji Xiang.

"What are you looking at?"

"I always thought you dressed very plainly, the kind of person who would blend into a crowd and go unnoticed," Feng Yuqing said, looking at Ji Xiang with a puzzled expression. "But this outfit you're wearing is custom-made on Savile Row in London, isn't it?"

"What have you been through that makes you think I'd be wearing patched-up clothes?" Ji Xiang asked curiously.

"Playing dumb to fool others, that's how Uncle Ji was when he was young. They say when he first came to their door, nobody respected him, and then..."

Ji Xiang shrugged. This girl's mind was full of outdated tricks like pretending to be weak to fool others; even novels don't write like that anymore.

"Little Feng Yuqing, why don't you go see the girl your agent has taken a liking to?" Although Ji Xiang was inwardly grumbling, he didn't say anything else; he was more concerned about the girl's illness.

"Ji Xiang, let me correct a few of your mistakes."

First, I'm not a child; you're a year older than me, so you can't call me that.

Feng Yuqing frowned slightly and said earnestly.

"And then, we're here on a blind date, and you bring up wanting to see another girl in front of the woman? That's not right. Although I know you're not interested in this kind of thing either, respect is mutual."

"Look at you," Ji Xiang smiled. "I'm a resident physician now, so I'm still a doctor, and I'm more interested in treating patients."

After saying that, Ji Xiang told Feng Yuqing about how Aunt Chen had asked him for urinary tract stones early in the morning in preparation for using as a medicinal ingredient.

Feng Yuqing's eyes lit up immediately.

"Is it that ignorant?" Feng Yuqing said. "I've never even heard of it."

"I don't think it's ignorance," Ji Xiang said earnestly. "The patient sought medical help and tried everything, but in the end, they couldn't even get a diagnosis, so they had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless. That's roughly the idea, so I felt I had to go and take a look."

"Oh, you really think you're a doctor?"

"Of course, I'm very good," Ji Xiang said.

"Come on, let's see your skills." Feng Yuqing stood up and called to Ji Xiang.

More than eating, she wanted to see Ji Xiang dressed in white and treating patients.

She had heard many legends about Ji Xiang and his son. It was said that the name Ji Xiang was given to her by the old master of the Qian family. As for whether it was rustic or not, it wouldn't matter if people said a few words about it in the far-off Northeast, but Feng Yuqing didn't dare to say it in Jiangnan.

How could Feng Yuqing not be curious that the legendary Ji Xiang could actually treat illnesses?

"Let me tell you, Ji Xiang," Feng Yuqing said, "Sister Liu found a very famous nephrologist in Shanghai for a video consultation and treatment. If you're not sure, you'd better not say anything."

She still had some reservations, fearing that Ji Xiang might become angry.

"I know that if the expert makes the right diagnosis, then of course we should listen to him. What I need is a diagnosis and treatment, not someone to pay for my medical care."

"Hey, he really does have the same temper as your Uncle Ji," Feng Yuqing said with a smile, looking at Ji Xiang.

A white dress floated by, its faint fragrance lingering in the air, and Ji Xiang sniffed.

"Smells good, doesn't it?"

"The smell of money."

"It's so tacky," Feng Yuqing remarked.

As the two went out, their agent, Liu Hui, returned just in time. Seeing the two leaving, chatting and laughing, Liu Hui was taken aback.

It's probably not that they've fallen out; Liu Hui has made the right judgment.

Why do you have to leave when you're just ordering your own food?

Feng Yuqing explained the situation to her agent, leaving Liu Hui both amused and exasperated.

As Liu Hui went downstairs, she deliberately slowed down a couple of steps and asked softly, "Ji..."

"Just call me Ji Xiang, or Dr. Xiao Ji is fine too. I'm a little allergic to other names," Ji Xiang quickly interrupted Liu Hui and instructed her.

"Ji Xiang..." Liu Hui said awkwardly, but she quickly adapted and asked in a low voice, "Madam instructed me to ask you what you think of this blind date."

"I understand. Go back and wait for news," Ji Xiang said calmly.

"..." Liu Hui was speechless.

What kind of talk is that!

After going downstairs, Feng Yuqing got into a nanny van and waved for Ji Xiang to come along.

"No, I came by bicycle."

"You said you weren't pretending, but you deliberately rode a bicycle!" Feng Yuqing said disdainfully.

But when she saw Jixiang's bicycle with butterflies printed on it, her eyes sparkled like stars.

"Fuck!" The girl, who had intended to play the role of a gentle and virtuous woman, suddenly swore on the spot.

Seeing Ji Xiang ride away on his bicycle, Liu Hui smiled and said, "I heard that he was quite low-key back then, I didn't expect his son to be the same."

"Sister Liu, this is no low-key thing!" Feng Yuqing watched Ji Xiang leave, her eyes never leaving the bicycle he was riding.

"Miss, it's just a bicycle, isn't it? Even if it's made of carbon fiber, how much is it worth?"

"Sister Liu, some people flaunt their wealth, while others keep a low profile. Do you know the difference?"

Liu Hui remained silent.

"It depends on whether you know them or not."

Feng Yuqing spoke vaguely, and only after watching Ji Xiang's figure disappear around the corner did she sigh.

"What's the story behind that bicycle?" Liu Hui asked.

Did you know that two Trek Butterfly printers were auctioned at Sotheby's last year?

Liu Hui shook her head.

She had never heard of the unfamiliar term "Treck butterfly".

"A bicycle, $500 million each. I wanted a Trek Butterfly for my coming-of-age ceremony, but my dad didn't buy it for me; he gave me a Lamborghini instead."

"..."

"That's so high-profile, damn it!" Feng Yuqing clenched her small fists, sighed, and lay down on her seat.

Liu Hui stared blankly in the direction where Ji Xiang's figure disappeared.

In her eyes, apart from being tall and handsome, the young man was just an ordinary person.

But who would have thought that the bicycle he was riding was a Trek Butterfly?

Did the lady make a mistake?

"Let's go see my teammate," Feng Yuqing said.

"Miss, what did you and Ji Xiang talk about? Why are you suddenly so interested in seeing a doctor?"

He said he was a doctor.

Liu Hui suddenly felt a strange sensation. For some reason, she was quite looking forward to Ji Xiang making a fool of himself.

A young man born into a legendary family, arrogant and domineering...

Although Ji Xiang didn't say or do anything, Liu Hui still considered him arrogant and domineering.

Seeing a doctor isn't just about having money. Liu Hui had a lot of confidence in the specialist she had found, and she wondered what Ji Xiang's expression would be when he saw the old specialist having a video consultation.
