Chapter 795: Zi Yi Is Very Cold and Not Approachable At All
The Tang Family siblings looked at their Father pulling Zi Yi away before giving Lu Jingye an apologetic look.
“Mr. Lu, please don’t take it to heart. Our Father is just like that.”
“Mr. Lu, please come and take a seat in the living room.”
In fact, both siblings were a little excited to meet Lu Jingye. After inviting him inside to take a seat and preparing tea for him, the both of them acted like primary school kids as they sat down and straightened their backs. They wanted to talk to him, but had no idea how to start the conversation.
Lu Jingye saw through their thoughts and took the initiative to find a topic.
Soon, the three of them got into a conversation.
When Elder Tang led Zi Yi into his consultation room, he got her to sit down as he said, “I’ll show you the medical records of that special illness first.”
Zi Yi sat there and looked at the medicinal cabinets behind him. There was a piece of paper with the names of the medicinal ingredients inside written on each cabinet.
While Elder Tang was searching for the medical record, he asked, “Did you take any medicine after you went back home that day?”
“Nope.”
“Your condition wasn’t very good at that time, is it fine for you to not take any medicine?”
“It’s fine. I got Ah Jing to soak me in the nutrient solution for five hours.”
“Nutrient solution?”
Elder Tang stopped looking for the medical record and stared straight at her face.
Zi Yi told him about the composition and effects of the nutrient solution. The more Elder Tang heard, the wider his eyes became.

He then brought the medical record over to Zi Yi and said excitedly, “Little Zi, tell me how you came up with the idea of the nutrient solution?”
Zi Yi repeated the words she had said to Elder Hu in the past.
“I like reading ancient medical books and by adding some of my own understanding of medicine, I created it.”
Elder Tang looked at her with a fiery gaze.
Zi Yi did not quite understand his expression. “What’s the matter?”
Elder Tang said while having complicated feelings deep down inside, “You’re really too talented in medicine. If only this nutrient solution could be utilized in the current medical treatment system.”
“It can’t be for the time being.” Zi Yi had no choice but to interrupt his train of thought. “Many of the medicinal ingredients are beyond the reach of ordinary people.”
Elder Tang knew that Zi Yi was talking about those medicinal ingredients from the rumors. Indeed, ordinary people were unable to find them.
He guessed that the reason why Zi Yi could create the nutrient solution was because some of those unattainable medicinal ingredients were found by the Third Young Master Lu. Even though it was a little regrettable, he still said, “When the opportunity arises in the future, let’s try to see if we can synthesize it with other medicinal ingredients.”
Zi Yi nodded her head in response.
Following that Elder Tang showed her the medical record.
He explained the record to her. “This patient came to my place on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, but his illness is too special.”
As soon as they started their discussion, it lasted for more than an hour. Halfway through their discussion, Tang Rong came in to bring them tea and snacks.
After they finished their discussion, Elder Tang talked about Patriarch Lu’s physical condition.
“Your operation was very successful, but from the looks of it, it will take Old Lu at least half a year of recuperation before he can get out of bed.”
Zi Yi remained silent.
Elder Tang added. “It’s good this way too. We didn’t like how Old Lu treated you either. It’s good for everyone if he were to stay in a sanatorium.”
Zi Yi only gave a brief nod.
Elder Tang knew that Zi Yi did not wish to mention Patriarch Lu and so, he s.h.i.+fted the subject to the other four elders.
“They were originally half a step in the coffin anyways and after suffering from such a huge mental blow, it’s normal that they are unable to safely pa.s.s through this ordeal. However…”
Speaking of this, he shook his head. “Before Old He has even pa.s.sed away, an internal fight has happened within the family.
Zi Yi was a little surprised. “Teacher, how did you know of this?”
“Old Hu and I just so happened to overheard some information when we were making the rounds.”
As to what he had heard, Elder Tang did not explain and Zi Yi did not ask.
The two of them remained in the consultation room until it was almost lunchtime, when Lu Jingye suddenly came in and said to Zi Yi, “Yiyi, I have to make a trip to the Ministry of Economic Affairs. I’ll send you home first.”
Before Zi Yi said anything, Elder Tang said, “Little Zi, have lunch at my place today, you can come to pick her up later in the evening.”
Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi.
Zi Yi gave him a nod and said, “I’m also going to go and visit some senior doctors with my teacher in the afternoon.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head. “Give me a call when you’re done and I’ll come to pick you up.”
“Ok.”
There was obviously something important going on at the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be someone looking for Lu Jingye in the morning and giving him a call at this time to ask him to come by.
The Tang Family tried to convince Lu Jingye to stay and leave for the Ministry of Economic Affairs after lunch, but he refused their invitation. “I’ll just buy something and eat it on the road.”
Having said that, he took his leave.
After Zi Yi and Elder Tang finished their meal, Elder Tang brought Zi Yi to the Chinese Medicine a.s.sociation.
There was a talk at the Chinese Medicine a.s.sociation in the afternoon. Those who could attend were all the best of the best in Chinese medicine. Of course, there were also other masters who brought along their students.
When Elder Tang brought Zi Yi to the Chinese Medicine a.s.sociation, a group of elderly Chinese medicine pract.i.tioners immediately surrounded her.
“This must be Zi Yi, the closed disciple Old Tang took in? She’s really pretty!”
“I’ve watched the video of Little Zi providing treatment to eight patients with different illnesses in the First Hospital. It was very good.”
…
When everyone praised Zi Yi, Elder Tang was evidently happier than Zi Yi. He laughed merrily and said, “Haha, Little Zi is still young. In the future, she still needs the help of everyone in TCM.”
Every pract.i.tioner was good at treating different illnesses. Elder Tang was trying to have everyone convey some of their knowledge to his student.
How could Zi Yi not understand what he was trying to do? In the end, she went along with him and said a few modest words.
Subsequently, everyone headed to the hall to take a seat and started the talk.
Everyone was talking about the intractable illnesses in the fields of traditional Chinese Medicine and Zi Yi was listening attentively.
Just then, a whisper sounded from behind her, “Miss Zi.”
Zi Yi turned around and saw a young lady wearing a white down jacket calling her name.
“What’s the matter?” Zi Yi also lowered her voice and asked.
The woman was like a natural socializer as she said, “My name is Qiao Hong, I’m a student at a Medical University. I’m currently studying for my PhD. You are very famous in our school.
Zi Yi nodded her head. Just then, a senior doctor was talking about an illness she was interested in and she looked away as she planned to listen attentively.
However, Qiao Hong continued to ask, “How did you manage to do it? Even my teacher is incapable of treating eight patients with different intractable diseases all at once.
“I feel that your medical skills have surpa.s.sed many of the masters. Will you be opening a clinic of your own? Your family is rich and powerful and if you were to open a clinic dedicated to treating the VIPs, it will definitely be…”
“Miss Qiao.”
Zi Yi turned around and interrupted her. “We came here with our teachers today to gain more knowledge. If you are unable to pay attention, please remain quiet.”
Zi Yi’s words clearly meant that Qiao Hong was too noisy.
Qiao Hong turned red and when she saw Zi Yi listening to the speaker attentively, she felt a little awkward and returned to her seat.
Just then, a guy sitting next to her asked, “What’s Zi Yi like?”
Qiao Hong felt uncomfortable deep down inside and blurted out. “She’s very cold and not approachable at all.”
The guy looked at Zi Yi who was listening attentively and said, “It’s normal for those who are good at studying to be a little cold.”
Qiao Hong felt even more unhappy. “In my opinion, I think she’s looking down on us because she married into a rich family and is just pretending to be cold.”
The guy felt that Qiao Hong’s words had a hidden meaning and so, he stopped talking to her.
This made Qiao Hong feel even worse.
