Chapter 712: About Mother

Upon hearing this number, Dr. Zhao swallowed back the words he was about to say. How could he possibly just casually disclose to them the five years of hard work that had been put into it?

As a fellow doctor, he felt deeply ashamed upon hearing Bai Zhi's words.

He never imagined spending five years researching a detoxification therapy.

"Dr. Bai, the patient's condition was very stable last night. Was it because of the moxibustion sticks he used, or the effects of acupuncture or herbal medicine?" another colleague asked.

Bai Zhi explained to them, "Acupuncture and herbal medicine are not that fast. The acupuncture points I use can inhibit the release of toxins, but they only play an inhibitory role and do not remove toxins from the body."

"Moxibustion and herbal decoctions are the real treatments that address the root cause of the problem, but they are relatively slow to take effect. We first use acupuncture to suppress the toxins, and after a course of treatment, the acupuncture sessions can be gradually reduced. Therefore, these ten days are the most crucial time, and we must not let our guard down."

She continued, "We need to get acupuncture once every 24 hours to prevent the toxins in the body from flaring up."

"I see."

Dr. Zhao understood what Bai Zhi said and couldn't help but marvel at how amazing traditional Chinese medicine was; acupuncture could even be used as a sedative.

He wanted to say that he and his colleagues wanted to stay in the studio and learn from Bai Zhi.

I didn't expect that they were a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, perhaps they don't pass on their knowledge to outsiders.

Given that they hadn't known each other for very long, he refrained from making the request.

When Bai Zhi was about to go home after get off work in the afternoon, she ran into Ye Qingbai, who had come to the hospital to see Shen Qian.

"Cousin, it's been a long time."

Ye Qingbai was very friendly when he saw Bai Zhi. "Yes, cousin, it's been so many days since I've seen you. I've been so busy these days, I haven't been able to get away. I heard that you set up a studio at the military hospital, and I've been wanting to come and visit. I also wanted to visit my second grandfather, but I've been too busy to do so."

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes when she heard his words. "Come on, you're the type who forgets about us once you have a boyfriend. You weren't this busy before."

Ye Qingbai tossed his head, looking smug. "Recently, my boss has been giving me important responsibilities."

"Really? That's a good thing."

Ye Qingbai said, "Since we've gathered here today, let's have dinner together tonight."

Bai Zhi immediately refused, "No, I have to go home early."

"Don't rush back, your brother-in-law is in a meeting, he'll probably be home late."

Upon hearing Ye Qingbai's words, Bai Zhi looked at him questioningly, "Really?"

Ye Qingbai replied with certainty, "It's true. When I came out, I heard from our company commander that their leadership team had an emergency meeting."

Bai Zhi sighed inwardly upon hearing Ye Qingbai's words.

Emergency meeting...

Lu Ye probably won't be coming back tonight.

She is most afraid of hearing the word "emergency" now.

The two stood there chatting, and Shen Qian changed her clothes and came out of the building entrance.

"Let's go, let's have dinner together."

Shen Qian also wanted Bai Zhi to dine with them.

Hopefully, Bai Zhi, as his cousin, can offer Ye Qingbai some comfort.

These days, Ye Qingbai has been very distressed because his biological mother wants to come and see him.

She's not very good at comforting people.

Bai Zhi is eloquent and has many unique insights.

Perhaps it can help Ye Qingbai resolve his heartache.

"Okay, let's eat together then."

Since I'll just be stuck at home alone and overthinking anyway, I might as well go out to eat with them and relax.

"How about we go to the county town to eat? Let's invite Grandpa Ye and Linlin?" Shen Qian suggested.

After officially establishing a relationship with Ye Qingbai, she was also happy to connect with Ye Qingbai's family.

Bai Zhi said, "Forget it, let's not bother him. There are a lot of patients at the clinic lately, and the old man is exhausted all day long. He just wants to rest after get off work and definitely doesn't want to go out to eat."

Bai Zhi had been buying groceries in the kitchen these past few days, asking Liu Guifang to cook a couple of dishes for her grandfather and his family if she had time in the afternoon.

My grandfather also likes to eat the fried noodles across from the clinic.

Young people go to restaurants to eat and chat, which always takes up a lot of time, and the old man must find it annoying.

Ye Qingbai nodded, "Okay, then let Second Grandpa rest well, and I'll go see him again this weekend."

The three of them didn't go to the county town, but ordered a few dishes at a restaurant near the military hospital.

Ye Qingbai very considerately bought them drinks and brought them in.

He opened the Jianlibao bottle and placed it in front of them, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, ladies."

Shen Qian sighed, "We've really had a tough time these past two days."

"Then eat more today to nourish your body."

Ye Qingbai let them order whatever they wanted.

On such a hot day, the two girls didn't want anything too oily, so they just ordered some refreshing vegetables.

While waiting for the food, Shen Qian deliberately brought up Ye Qingbai's matter.

Then Ye Qingbai chimed in, looking worried, "Xiaozhi, my biological mother said she's coming to visit us at the military base. I've been really upset these past few days and don't know what to do."

"Xiaoqian is also unsure of what to do with me."

Bai Zhi said, "Look at what you're saying. How can others give you advice on this? Just follow your heart. Like my grandfather said, we all respect your decision. You're an adult, so you can handle it however you want."

"The letter she wrote to me was full of sincerity. She said she had missed me for 20 years and that she must see me when she came back. My dad also called me and asked me to meet her, but I don't know what I can say to her when we meet."

"Do you want to see him?" Bai Zhi asked, looking at him.

Ye Qingbai pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly, “To be honest, sometimes I really want to see what she looks like now. Her appearance in my memory is very blurry. I didn’t think about this before, and I wasn’t curious, but now that the letter has been sent to me, I can’t help but imagine what she looks like now, and whether she looks like the person I remember.”

Upon hearing his words, Bai Zhi already knew the answer. She said, "So you want to see each other. In that case, let's not leave each other with regrets. It would be good to meet."

Ye Qingbai sighed, "But I'm embarrassed."

"Perhaps, if the other person is talkative after you meet them, you won't feel awkward."

A successful businesswoman who can become a big boss must be good at speaking and won't make the atmosphere too awkward.

However, awkwardness is inevitable when meeting someone for the first time.

When Bai Zhi heard that Ye Qingbai's mother was coming to visit him, and seeing Ye Qingbai's conflicted expression, she knew that Ye Qingbai wanted to see her.

Otherwise, you can just write a letter of refusal.

How could I possibly seek other people's opinions again and again?

He just needs encouragement.

Actually, if it were her, she might also choose to meet him.

Her mother died after giving birth to her. Over the years, she has dreamed of her countless times, but she can never see her face clearly.

After waking up from the dream, I always wonder what she looked like.

Although I have a one-inch photo, a photo is still a static image.

And she was forever stuck at the age of 20.

She wondered what her mother would be like at 30, and what she would be like at 40 if she were still alive.

Ye Qingbai just said that he was also curious about what his mother would look like, which shows that he, like me, misses her.
