Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1945 Both hearing and endurance are substandard
As a senior expert in traditional Chinese medicine, Lan Bingru is a remarkable figure. According to Lao Pei, a herbalist, Lan Bingru's knowledge of traditional Chinese culture surpasses that of Cen Songxue. She is adept at astronomy and geography, and predicting the weather by observing celestial phenomena is a piece of cake for her.

Just after 19 p.m., the storm stopped abruptly without any transition, and instantly the sky turned a clear, bright blue, looking incredibly refreshing.

Since it involved pediatrics, Bian Mu specifically asked Dr. Gong to accompany him on a field trip.

Over fruit tea and homemade whole-grain cookies, the two chatted about Dr. Gong's day of house calls, summarizing what they could and making sure to correct any mistakes next time. Dr. Gong particularly appreciated this learning atmosphere, as even the smallest things he learned now would be valuable assets for his future livelihood!
A man and a woman walked in quickly from outside. They looked to be in their early thirties and were dressed very elegantly. "Xin G20" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic is located in the heart of the bustling city center, and it is rare to see similar clothing and products there. Dr. Gong glanced at them casually and guessed that the two people in front of him were wearing international brands.

The woman was tall and slender, with light makeup and elegant manners. Her eyes and brows revealed a touch of nobility. She looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't quite place where I had seen her before.

The man looked very composed, of medium height, and had a solemn expression.

Dr. Gong guessed that it must be someone from the family of the 5-year-old patient, and quickly got up to greet them.

"I'm the child's mother. I should have brought him here for Dr. Bian to examine, but... Whenever I show my face, those entertainment reporters and self-media people swarm around me. To be honest, no matter how well the confidentiality measures are taken, they always manage to get the truth. They're quite dedicated, I suppose. I'm fine; I've been retired from acting for many years and don't care anymore. It's just that my child is still young, and if the news leaks out, it will be very detrimental to his future development. That's why I had to resort to this measure. I hope Dr. Bian will understand!" Wow! The woman spoke very tactfully, clearly someone of considerable importance.

Bian Mu doesn't usually watch movies or TV shows because she's too busy. However, after her explanation, Bian Mu immediately realized that it was no wonder this person was so good-looking—she was a celebrity!
He might even be a big-name celebrity!

Suo Yurong is considered the most outstanding in appearance among her peers, but compared to the person in front of her, she is far inferior in terms of demeanor.

"You're too kind! Teacher Lan came all this way for your family's sake. We're practically family here, it's no trouble at all! I often have to make house calls, shall we go now?" Bian Mu said politely with a smile.

"If it's convenient for you, then please do me the trouble of coming over to take a look," the lady said politely with a smile.

"This Dr. Gong is my assistant, specializing in pediatrics. If there's anything you'd like to discuss, feel free to talk to her." With that, Bian Mu introduced the two of them, quickly tidied up, greeted Luo Zhanqi, and the group chatted and laughed as they headed to the parking lot.

To show the grandeur, the couple specially drove a multi-row luxury car with a chauffeur. The interior was exceptionally spacious, enough for seven or eight people to have a small meeting without any problem. Bian Mu had ridden in similar luxury cars many times before, but none of them had such luxurious facilities.

This was the first time in Dr. Gong's life that she had ridden in such a high-class luxury car, and she was extremely envious.

The young patient's father was rather stern and rarely smiled. Along the way, he only chatted with Bian Mu politely for a few minutes. From him, Bian Mu learned that Bian Mu was a real estate developer, mainly engaged in the development and operation of real estate such as hotels, shopping malls, and art buildings. He was a big businessman.

The female celebrity and Dr. Gong sat in the back row and chatted very congenially the whole way, laughing and talking without any awkward silence.

The detached villa area is quiet and elegant. If it weren't for coming to the clinic, Dr. Gong thought he would never have the chance to set foot in this community in his life. After the rain, the surrounding greenery was excellent, and the air was filled with a refreshing moisture—it couldn't be more pleasant.

Having money is great!
All four elderly people were present, and the young patient was accompanied by a young female caregiver. The family was wealthy, as the caregivers they hired were all so beautiful, and they didn't give off the working vibe of service industry aunties.

The little boy was chubby and fair-skinned, with big, dark eyes like his mother's. Despite his young age, he had a full head of thick, shiny black hair, which looked rather unusual.

"My surname is Bian, and I'm a doctor. What's your surname?" Bian Mu bent down and greeted the little boy kindly.

The little boy seemed to be a beat slower than the quick-witted child. After a few seconds, he babbled out two or three sentences. Bian Mu was alright; she could roughly understand that the boy was introducing himself, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with his brain.

However, the specific surname could not be heard clearly.

Dr. Gong didn't have Bian Mu's deep understanding; to her, this young master seemed no different from a mute in the conventional sense. "You'll be starting school next year. Do you like going to school and attending classes?" Bian Mu followed up with his inquiry.

This time, the little boy seemed a bit excited. He waved his chubby hands a couple of times and babbled a few words, but they were still unclear and difficult to understand.

Indeed, the little boy has a rather obvious difficulty in expressing himself.

Taking the initiative, Bian Mu invited everyone back to the living room and sat down, then took the little boy's pulse.

……

Bian Mu didn't say anything, but got up and took out a hearing test device from his backpack. He tested the little boy's hearing in his left ear and then his right ear.

As I had expected, the little boy's hearing was significantly weaker than that of other children his age.

According to traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic standards, if children under the age of 7 have abnormal oral expression abilities, they are usually accompanied by some hearing problems. It is said that nine out of ten deaf people are mute, and vice versa.

"After the child was born, how many nannies do you usually hire to stay with the child?" Considering that the female celebrity often has to go to location shooting, her family naturally has more nannies than other families.

"Two or three, I guess! The nanny is in charge of cooking and cleaning, and we also have a tutor, who's also kind of an arts nanny, to accompany the boy as he grows up and teach him some basic knowledge about painting and music," the boy's mother explained with a smile.

"Oh, I see... Judging from the pulse, the child's leg strength is clearly insufficient. I'm just guessing! From a young age, you've been carrying him around all the time, and he's hardly ever had a chance to run and play, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

"It is a bit... but he's usually quite playful, so his leg development should be considered normal, right?" the little boy's mother replied with a smile.

With a smile, Bian Mu said nothing more, leaned close to the little boy's ear, and told him to run a lap around the living room.

The little boy was a beat slow to react, so Bian Mu had to use gestures and explanations to make him understand. After glancing at the parents, the little boy obediently tried running a lap around the sofa counterclockwise.

It was obvious that the little boy's leg strength was significantly insufficient.

Bian Mu gestured to the female celebrity to relay his message, asking the boy to go around again until he got tired of it and refused.

……

Just as Bian Mu had predicted, after less than four laps, the little boy resolutely refused to continue running the smaller laps.

When the pulse was taken again, the proper pulse characteristics finally began to appear faintly.

"Damn! With such a wealthy family, they've almost ruined their child." Thinking about this, Bian Mu felt that the world of the rich was sometimes quite strange.
