Chapter 30: Uncle Comes to Debunk the Fake

Chapter 30: Uncle Comes to Debunk the Fake

Niu Niu didn't need to come in for acupuncture this morning. Apart from one person getting medicine, no other patients came in.

When Dr. Zhou sat down in the examination chair today, his first instinct was to flip through his martial arts novel.

But then he put it down and closed the book.

I looked at Bai Zhi, who was organizing the medicine cabinet.

"Xiaobai," he called out to her.

Bai Zhi turned around and asked with a smile, "Dr. Zhou, what's the matter?"

"Hey, come here, let's discuss the prescription I gave Niu Niu yesterday."

Upon hearing Doctor Zhou's words, a look of surprise flashed across Bai Zhi's eyes. "Oh, which way did the sun rise today?"

Dr. Zhou actually wanted to discuss the prescription with her?

That's really strange.

After pushing the medicine cabinet drawer inside, she walked over and pulled up a small stool to sit down.

Doctor Zhou opened the prescription and said somewhat awkwardly, "Who are the principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guide herbs in this prescription? Tell me."

"Oh, okay." She looked at the prescription she had written yesterday, and then at Dr. Zhou, who was looking at her with an awkward expression.

It was a little awkward.

The first rule for survival in the workplace is never to appear smarter than your boss.

However, during her two days at Jishengtang, due to various uncontrollable factors, she acted a little too clever and showed off her sharpness.

Will Dr. Zhou have any complaints about her?

So they used this as a pretext to fire her?

After all, Dr. Zhou didn't seem like someone who enjoyed studying traditional Chinese medicine.

Seeing Bai Zhi standing there blankly without speaking, Doctor Zhou said quietly, "What are you staring at? Are you afraid I'll learn your medical skills?"

Bai Zhi laughed awkwardly, "Of course not, what I like most is discussing medical techniques with my colleagues."

Dr. Zhou nodded, "Then go ahead and tell me."

Bai Zhi sat up straight, took a deep breath, and decided to just say what she needed to say.

If the boss is truly jealous and cannot tolerate talent more outstanding than himself, then Jishengtang is simply unlucky.

She cleared her throat, pointed to the prescription, and said very seriously, "The principal ingredient in this prescription is North American ginseng, the assistant ingredients are angelica and dendrobium, and the auxiliary ingredients are privet fruit and white peony root..."

Bai Zhi spoke earnestly, and even Doctor Zhou showed unusual interest.

Just as the two were discussing, a furious male voice suddenly came from the doorway, "Who is Bai Zhi?"

The man's voice interrupted Bai Zhi.

She and Dr. Zhou both looked up at the door at the same time.

Then a man wearing a silk floral shirt, with his hair slicked back and a small leather bag tucked under his arm walked in aggressively.

Given Bai Zhi's outstanding performance over the past two days, Dr. Zhou naively assumed that since the boss had called out Bai Zhi's name, he must be interested in her medical skills.

He politely inquired, "Sir, are you here for a medical appointment?"

The man's expression was unfriendly. "What illness do you want? I'm perfectly healthy."

The man had just finished speaking when his gaze fell on the girl who had looked up at him.

His anger froze.

Bai Zhi met the man's gaze, her expression blank, and she didn't look away for a long time.

From the moment Ye Tiandong entered, her heart seemed to stop beating. As she looked at him, her eyes involuntarily reddened.

"uncle....."

"Who is your uncle?" Ye Tiandong snapped out of his daze, his anger returning. "You're that Bai Zhi? Who exactly are you? Why are you impersonating my niece?"

Bai Zhi spoke up weakly, "I didn't impersonate anyone."

Ye Tiandong was furious. "My sister has never been married, let alone had children."

Bai Zhi asked a thought-provoking question, "Then tell me, do I look like your sister when she was young?"

Bai Zhi knew the look in Ye Tiandong's eyes when he first saw her; it was clearly one of astonishment and disbelief.

After all, she had heard her grandfather say that she looked very much like her mother when she was young.

Bai Zhi walked up to Ye Tiandong, looked at him with a generous and open gaze, and introduced herself, "I come from Dawan Village in Qingshui County. My mother, Ye Peilan, used to work in the countryside there. Later, she married my father, Bai Zhicheng, and gave birth to me. She passed away not long after I was born."

Upon hearing this news, Ye Tiandong's expression clearly became flustered and incredulous. "What proof do you have? My sister has never been married."

Bai Zhi took a pendant off her neck.

He handed it to Ye Tiandong, "Uncle, do you have the other half of this jade pendant?"

Ye Tiandong was even more astonished when he saw what Bai Zhi was holding, "You...!"

Bai Zhi explained, "This was left to me by my mother."

"How could such a thing happen? This is absolutely impossible." Ye Tiandong shook his head blankly, continuing to deny it.

His sister passed away more than 20 years ago, and now a girl suddenly appears and claims to be his relative, saying that his sister was married and had children before. He simply cannot believe it is true.

But this little girl does look a lot like her sister, and she also has her sister's things.

Ye Tiandong recalled that the person who came to Bincheng to find him that day was inquiring about his medical skills. He squinted at Bai Zhi and asked, "You've met the old man? You know medicine?"

"I've met you."

Bai Zhi knew that her uncle and maternal grandfather did not have a good relationship and basically did not communicate.

Therefore, Ye Tiandong had no idea what his grandfather was doing.

She had to find a plausible explanation for the origins of her medical skills.

Ye Tiandong still couldn't believe it. He looked at Bai Zhi and shook his head, "You can't be my niece. How could my sister get married?"

Bai Zhi looked at him very seriously and explained, "Uncle, this is a long story. I only learned about your existence after I came of age. I want to recognize you as my relatives."

Ye Tiandong asked, "Where is your father?"

Bai Zhi's eyes dimmed. "He remarried after my mother passed away. He has a son and a daughter, and his daughter is only one year younger than me."

"asshole."

When Ye Tiandong heard that Bai Zhi's half-sister was only one year younger than her, she instantly understood what was going on.

Seamless integration!

He cursed under his breath, muttering to himself in anguish, "Impossible, how could this happen? My poor sister got married and had a daughter, and I didn't even know..."

...

Ye Qingbai followed Lu Ye's advice and planned to head to Jishengtang.

As I was leaving the hospital, I ran into Lu Shan, a cool and stylish female doctor who had just started her motorcycle.

Ye Qingbai blushed and mustered his courage to go forward and greet them.

"Hello, Dr. Lu."

Lu Shan, riding her motorcycle, saw the young man with the buzz cut and asked, "Are you Xiao Ye's comrade-in-arms? Are you going back to your unit?"

Ye Qingbai grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "No, I'm not going to the army this afternoon. The company commander said my future sister-in-law is in danger and asked me to go protect her."

"Future sister-in-law?" Lu Shan frowned in confusion.

who?

"It's Dr. Xiao Bai. My company commander sent me to Jishengtang."

Ye Qingbai asked Lu Shan, "Excuse me, which way is Jishengtang? Can I get there by bus?"

Upon hearing Ye Qingbai's words, Lu Shan looked surprised.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ye would send his comrade to protect Bai Zhi.

Was he worried about Bai Zhi because he heard that Ye Tiandong had come to Nancheng to crack down on counterfeits?

Even knowing that Bai Zhi was a fraud, he was still willing to protect her.

Lu Shan could understand this.

For Lu Ye now, Bai Zhi is his savior.

He needs to grasp at this lifeline.

Lu Shan said, "I'm also going to Jishengtang, so it's on my way."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingbai looked at the back seat of her motorcycle, scratched his head, and said, "Then..."

"Get on the motorcycle." Lu Shan pedaled twice and started the motorcycle.

"Okay." Ye Qingbai sat down in one swift motion.

Lu Shan stepped on the gas, and the motorcycle sped off.

Ye Qingbai swayed slightly, and his hand accidentally grabbed the woman's slender waist.

The soft touch sent a jolt through him, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

A dark red tinge spread from his dark face to his neck.

Lu Shan rode her motorcycle very fast, and in about ten minutes, she stopped the motorcycle in front of Jishengtang.
