266 Thank You

Lu Jiao’s best guesses were that he either had the vesicular kind or the erosive kind.

When he saw how calm Lu Jiao appeared, the businessman’s tense heart relaxed a little. Every time he went to a clinic, the doctor there reacted like they couldn’t bear the sight of his foot. It always infuriated him and resulted in him losing self-control.

He was already angry that he had such a disease and it stressed him out. Yet all the doctors acted like he was gross. How could he let that go?

Liu Fu’s feet were already stinky. Once he removed his socks, the entire strip could smell that scent.

Everyone subconsciously pinched their noses. Lu Jiao cooly took out a handkerchief and covered her nose.

Though her action was rude, because she did it confidently without making a face, it wasn’t exactly annoying.

After Lu Jiao’s inspection, she concluded that this man had the erosive kind of tinea pedis. From his third to fifth toe, they all rotted and were whitish in color. This meant his toes constantly itched to the point where it might feel better to chop them off.

After Lu Jiao checked out his feet, she felt his pulse. Finally, she said to him, “You have tinea pedis, a fungal infection. People who sweat a lot tend to contract this. Not only do you have tinea pedis, you also have hyperhidrosis. Your body is weak and that is why you ended up with this disease. Treating the tinea pedis isn’t enough. You need to cure your hyperhidrosis by losing weight.”

The businessman only cared about one thing, “Can you treat it or not?”

Lu Jiao glanced at him, “If you cooperate, I can treat it.”

The businessman man stared in disbelief. Was she for real? He didn’t know how to react. Everyone else in the shop, however, muttered, “Is he lying? He must be lying.”

“I also think he’s lying. He looks so young.”

“I don’t believe him.”

“Businessman Lu’s been to a lot of doctors and n.o.body’s managed to treat him. How could such a young doctor know what to do?”

“Baohe Tang is a scam.”

There were all sorts of comments. Businessman Lu, however, confirmed with Lu Jiao again, “You can treat it?”

“That’s right.”

Lu Jiao spoke confidently. The others in the shop started to shout, “Young man, you shouldn’t talk too big. You may embarra.s.s yourself if you fail now. If you fail, he’s not going to forgive you.”

Before Lu Jiao could speak, Qi Lei chimed in, “If my master says he can do it, he can.”

Then, a cold voice cut across the store.

“Master?”

Xie Yunjin walked in then. His gaze fell on Qi Lei before he glanced at Lu Jiao.

So Qi Lei and Lu Jiao were close because he was her apprentice?

Now that he realized Lu Jiao was a surgeon, he understood that it made sense for Qi Lei to want to be Lu Jiao’s apprentice. It was just that, he never knew that fact.

This made Xie Yunjin feel so sour. Thinking back to the relationship he had with Lu Jiao, however, he had to accept this.

Inside the store, everyone noticed Xie Yunjin. They exchanged glances. In the end, manager Li came out to greet him, “Scholar Xie, how come you’re here?”

They didn’t want any scenes today – it was their grand opening.

Xie Yunjin didn’t make a scene and merely acknowledged manager Li with a nod. Though his expression was cold, his body language was calm and he was quiet. It didn’t seem like he wanted to explode.

“Scholar Xie, please come in.”

Xie Yunjin nodded, “I saw that Baohe Tang is busy and wanted to help out.”

Then, he actually started to greet the patients who were waiting.

Manager Li, Qi Lei, and the others looked toward Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao didn’t comment and continued to converse with the businessman, “Do you want a prescription or not?”

“Of course I do!”

Lu Jiao nodded then carefully instructed, “Since you asked me to treat you, you have to listen to me.”

“If you can treat me, I will listen to you.”

“You have to control what goes into your mouth. You need to exercise by jogging in the morning and at night. I will prescribe you some oral medication as well as medicine you can use to soak your feet. You need to consume medicine for about a month to get your symptoms under control.”

“When will my feet stop itching?”

The itch was so painful. He wanted to chop his feet off sometimes.

Lu Jiao explained, “Three days. If you drink your medicine and soak your feet, you’ll stop itching in three days. However, you have to wear breathable shoes so there’s plenty of airflow.”

“Okay, I will do as I’m told.”

The businessman was going to cooperate just for that ray of hope.

Lu Jiao gave him the prescriptions and asked him to fetch them from the workers.

After he was gone, Lu Jiao gestured for Xie Yunjin. She whispered to him, “Why are you here? Do you need something?”

He must’ve needed something or else he wouldn’t have come here.

Xie Yunjin’s brows were squeezed tightly together. He stared at Lu Jiao and said softly, “You accepted Qi Lei as your apprentice?”

Lu Jiao knew he’d heard what Qi Lei had said and nodded, “Yeah, why?”

“Why did he decide to take you as his master all of a sudden?”

Lu Jiao raised a brow, stared at him, and grinned, “Did you find out something?”

Xie Yunjin leaned in and said, “I know you were the one who operated on my legs.”

So he knows.

“Yes.”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

If she had told him earlier then he would’ve… he would’ve…

Before Xie Yunjin could think it through, Lu Jiao smiled and said, “If I told you in the beginning, you wouldn’t have believed me. There was then no more point in telling you.”

Xie Yunjin froze. She was right. She had no intention of staying so telling him or not wouldn’t have made a difference. If she decided to stay, she might’ve told him.

However, he wasn’t going to let her leave.

Xie Yunjin’s eyes flashed with resolution. However, he didn’t show it on his face. He thanked Lu Jiao from the bottom of his heart, “I heard about it and immediately wanted to see you and thank you. Lu Jiao, thank you.”

Lu Jiao beamed brightly at those words. She cured someone and earned his genuine appreciation. That was the joy of being a doctor.

“That’s okay. I’m happy to see your legs heal nicely.”

As the two chatted, Zhao Lingfeng walked in with a subordinate, “Scholar Xie came?”

Zhao Lingfeng narrowed his eyes at Xie Yunjin. He somehow felt like that man was acting differently than before.

Xie Yunjin turned to Zhao Lingfeng and cheered, “Congratulations owner Zhao on the grand opening. I wish your business prosperity.”
