Chapter 2066 The Cao Family's Granddaughter is Not Simple Either

A female nurse on duty listened to Bian Mu's patient guidance throughout the entire process. Without saying a word, she took out a rectangular old-fashioned mirror from somewhere. The graduate student took the mirror and carefully examined what he looked like in it.

"Is this...is this a side effect?" the graduate student instinctively questioned.

"Hehe... You were originally quite pretty, but you've been overworking yourself, suppressing your inner spirit too much. This has caused all the meridians in your body to flow along the Heart Meridian, putting considerable pressure on the Brain Meridian. Over time, your facial features have become somewhat distorted! Strictly speaking, you haven't been living authentically all these years. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, that period of your studies was somewhat like a 'spiritual purgatory' for you. If you find this hard to understand, let's do an experiment. Xiao Song! Could you please get a new towel, a small hand towel will do." As she spoke, Bian Mu sent a female nurse to fetch a towel.

The graduate student and his family sat or stood there blankly, and for a moment, the two generations were speechless.

Not long after, the nurse came running to bring Bian Mu two brand-new towels, one long and one short. Behind her followed two or three doctors on duty, who had obviously come to see what was going on.

Everyone saw Bian Mu casually drape the long, thick towel over his left shoulder, then hold the small square towel high in the sunlight streaming through the window for a while.

"The thread is right here!" Bian Mu muttered to himself, then asked the nurse next to him for a pair of medical scissors and cut off the thread.

Afterwards, Bian Mu repeatedly cut the prop three or five times, demonstrating that the prop was now ready.

"Watch this!" As he spoke, everyone watched as Bian Mu gently pulled a section of a line outward.

Afterwards, Bian Mu replaced three or four thread ends, using the same method each time: holding one end and gently pulling it outwards...

"Huh?! It's stretched into a towel ball like this?!" A female nurse next to her exclaimed in surprise.

As they were talking, Bian Mu managed to stretch a brand-new small handkerchief into a large, almost spherical bulge, filled with air, like a balloon that had only just been inflated.

"The more fear you feel, the harder you work on your homework, prepare for exams, memorize long English passages... The more desperately you push yourself, the more those meridians—which can only be described but cannot be detected or illustrated by the world's most advanced medical equipment—constantly converge in a certain part of your body. Slowly, these 'fine lines,' like strings, will compress and deform you. The same applies to your inner world, as well as the muscles, fascia, tendons, fat, and skin on your face. Over a period of 10 years, you will gradually destroy yourself beyond recognition. Do you understand?" Bian Mu explained earnestly for a long time.

That graduate student's intelligence was consistently high. Bian Mu's demonstration was so intuitive and vivid; if he still couldn't understand it, what would become of him?

Understand in seconds!

Sitting blankly on the edge of the hospital bed, his hands supporting him on the bed frame, the graduate student looked somewhat dazed and couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, his mother immediately became a little nervous, glancing at Bian Mu anxiously. She was genuinely worried that this miracle doctor might upset her precious son again.

The graduate student's father was much slower to think. Seeing his son in a daze and his wife anxious and uneasy, he also became somewhat uneasy. Being honest and dutiful by nature, he was anxious but had no idea what to do. After a while, he simply squatted down on the ground, put his hands on his head, lowered his head, and remained silent.

"Look how anxious you are. A heart locked without the right key will never be opened. You two thought your son was extremely smart, knew everything, and that as long as his grades didn't drop, there was nothing in the world to worry you about. And look what happened?! From now on, relax and live a normal, upright life for a few years! That 'learning-is-superior' mentality is outdated. Really redefine your lives! I have other things to do. He's out of danger now, but he needs to stay here. The school won't allow him to be discharged unless I agree. I'll come back for a check-up on the sixth day." With that, Bian Mu gave a few more instructions to the nearest nurse and prepared to return to the clinic.

I had only taken a few steps out of the east gate of the school when my phone rang.

Old Hou's phone call.

"Have you eaten yet?" Old Hou greeted him with a laugh over the phone. "Just came out of the ward, gave a patient an acupuncture session. Is something wrong?"

“My friend got some good lamb. It’s convenient to eat it here with an electric hot pot. Why don’t you come over and have a taste, and we can chat for a bit?”

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu knew that there was some news from Lao Hou again.

……

A studio is a studio; steam and illegal electricity use are no good! Bian Mu insisted on taking the ingredients to a familiar restaurant to borrow a place for hot pot.

Old Hou was naturally happy to follow Bian Mu's arrangements. He walked two small streets to find an old acquaintance and borrowed a table from him. He also used the acquaintance's copper hot pot. Chatting and laughing, the two of them lit the hot pot.

As the steam rises, the unique aroma of fresh, tender lamb fills the air...

Really fragrant!

The two ate and chatted.

"No wonder you arranged for me to open this studio on the street. Business, both expected and unexpected, comes to my door every day. News from all over the world is flying around. I've really broadened my horizons. Opening a traditional Chinese medicine clinic really shows your vision! Come! Let's toast the clinic owner with tea instead of wine!" Old Hou seemed very happy.

"We're all on the same side, doing this... Heh... What good stuff have you got your hands on this time?" As he spoke, Bian Mu symbolically returned the toast with tea instead of wine.

"This time there are several messages, all about Cao Qiling's granddaughter, the one who works at the Lei family pharmacy."

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu's ears tightened slightly and even twitched a little.

Old Hou noticed it immediately. He also understood traditional martial arts and knew that this was a natural reaction when one's internal energy cultivation reached a certain level. No wonder Master Bian was successful in everything he did; it turned out that his own skills were profound!
"She recently started working officially?"

"Yes! Boss Lei still doesn't pay her full salary, he deducts 13% every month. She's still worried about her child! She can arrive early, but she might leave a little early before the end of the workday. For that, it's all business, so he deducts some money!"

"The Lei family's business is so big, why would they care about such a small amount of money?! Does that mean the Cao family doesn't have anything of value left to sell?" Bian Mu said, expressing his disdain for Lei Xiaoxuan's stingy behavior.

"That's not entirely true. Lei Xiaoxuan is quite shrewd; with such a large family fortune, he's not that stingy! Moreover... according to reliable information I've recently heard, this granddaughter of the Cao family is actually quite extraordinary..."

"Oh?! What do you mean?"

"During her hospital stay at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, she met a woman in the same ward who had just given birth. The two babies were born around the same time, but unfortunately, a few days ago, the woman's baby suddenly contracted chickenpox, a very severe case. I heard it was also somewhat contagious. In the end, no hospital could cure it, but it was Cao's granddaughter who cured it, and the baby recovered quite completely. Lei Xiaoxuan was a little unhappy when she heard the news..."

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu frowned slightly.
