Chapter 131: Being Humble Online
The department head had never seen Qin Rui angry.
Qin Rui was well-known as a refined person amongst the young masters of the powerful families. He was always warm and courteous to people, and he was willing to talk problems out. But they overlooked one point. It had taken skill for him to reach his current high post.
Looking at Qin Rui’s cold expression, the department head was stunned. Realizing that Qin Rui wouldn’t heed his advice, his face turned grim.
“Department Chief Qin, Ms. Yaozhi is your sister. This isn’t the responsible thing to do. Think about your sister’s health!” the department head said angrily.
“I’m not being responsible? Who’s being responsible? You guys?” Qin Rui laughed. His tone was still gentle but there was a hint of coldness to it. “Department Head Zhao, my sister is 1.67meters tall, and weighs less than 70 jin. She has lost a lot of weight over the course of treatment. Over the past six months your team has used countless methods and failed to cure her. She didn’t even notice that she had a slight tendency to self-harm. How are you guys being responsible?”
Department Head Zhao’s face flushed red. Qin Yaozhi had tendencies of self-harm? They hadn’t realized.
Losing confidence, he said, “We’ve never seen someone in Ms. Yaozhi’s condition so it is a little more problematic.”
Qin Rui stuffed a hand in his pocket as his aura grew more powerful. “Since your team is unable to help, prescribe the medicine.”
Department Head Zhao stood up and glared at Qin Rui. “Department Chief Qin, this medicine will really be the death of Ms. Yaozhi!”
Qin Rui narrowed his eyes, his gaze icy and dangerous. “I’m only going to say it one more time. Prescribe the medicine.”
Department Head Zhao breathed heavily. In the end, he couldn’t dare to offend Qin Rui and forwarded the prescription to the hospital’s pharmacy. “Pack the medicine.”
The pharmacy replied, “Okay Department Head Zhao, he can pick it up in five minutes.”
Qin Rui turned and walked out of the office.
Department Head Zhao looked solemn and couldn’t help but say, “Department Chief Qin, you will regret this. Ms. Yaozhi’s health can’t take any more damage.”
Qin Rui didn’t turn back as he left.
…
At the Qin residence.
Mrs. Qin decocted the medicine, put it in a cup, and brought it to Qin Rui in the living room.
She placed the medicine before Qin Rui and he was slightly stunned. “Ma, what’s this?”
Mrs. Qin pursed her lips, her face pale and feeble looking. “Go bring it up to your sister.”
Qin Rui looked at her and stood up a few seconds later, putting his arm around Mrs. Qin’s shoulder. He shook Mrs. Qin’s arm and took the medicine upstairs.
Qin Yaozhi hadn’t been playing games recently because she had been pestering Gu Mang on WeChat.
“Sister! Be my teacher! I want to learn to dance! You’re too awesome!”
“Sister! I know who you are! G.o.d Gu, Sheng Ting’s former ch.o.r.eographer! F*ck, you’re too low-profile!”
“Accept me as a disciple, Sis!”
“Sis!”
Qin Yaozhi sent dozens of messages in earnest but Gu Mang ignored them.
Qin Rui knocked on the door as usual and waited a few seconds before opening it. He saw that Qin Yaozhi was still sitting cross-legged in the middle of the big bed holding her cell phone, looking as though she were texting someone.
The Chinese medicine had a strong, bitter smell. The smell filled the room almost as soon as Qin Rui came in.
Qin Yaozhi furrowed her eyebrows and looked up.
Qin Rui smiled. “Yaozhi, this is medicine from Ms. Gu. It’s just a bowl, come drink it.”
Qin Yaozhi looked up and then down. Her fingers moved quickly. “Sister, my brother has gotten the medicine you prescribed and decocted it.”
All she got in reply was a lazy “Yeah.”
Qin Yaozhi raised her eyebrows in delight seeing that she replied.
Qin Rui saw that Qin Yaozhi was quite focused on playing with her phone, but her expression was brighter than ever before.
He smiled and asked, “Who are you chatting with? You look so happy.”
