Chapter 80: Take orders from heaven and live forever

"Professor Bai, I can handle this. You should go back and rest!"

Lin Mo said to Professor Bai while helping the old lady up.

It turned out that after dinner, Professor Mu attended another short meeting. Due to his advanced age, such a high-intensity meeting took a toll on his back.

When Lin Mo returned, their meeting had just ended, and they happened to run into each other.

"Okay, then I'll head back. Xiao Lin, please keep a close eye on things!" Professor Bai nodded upon hearing this. Although she was a bit younger than Professor Mu, she was still quite tired after a long day and wanted to go back and get some rest.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it!" Lin Mo nodded.

After Professor Bai left, Lin Mo helped the old lady back to her hotel room.

"Oh dear, I can't deny getting old. If this were when I was younger, I wouldn't have felt anything even if I had meetings for half a month straight, let alone just one day. But now, I'm exhausted after just one day."

On the bed, Professor Mu supported his lower back with one hand, his brows furrowed, clearly indicating that he was not feeling well.

Lin Mo took the medicine Professor Mu wanted to take, then handed him a glass of water and said:

"I'll go to the hotel front desk and ask if they have any cushions. You can put one under your lower back when you have the meeting tomorrow; it should make you more comfortable."

After taking the medicine and drinking it down with water, Professor Mu finally spoke: "It's nothing to use. It's just that I'm getting old, and my body can't keep up with all the meetings. It's alright, tomorrow's the last day, I can go back this afternoon, just bear with it!"

After saying that, the old lady rubbed her lower back again. Judging from her posture, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo finally spoke up: "Teacher, I know a little massage. Would you like me to give it a try?"

He could force himself on Chuanmei and Wang Chu, but he still had to listen to other people's opinions.

Upon hearing this, Professor Mu recalled the book on massage and bone setting that Professor Mu had been reading earlier that day, and immediately asked, "You know massage? I thought you were just reading that book for fun."

Lin Mo said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's just a personal hobby. I usually give massages to my roommates, and they say it works pretty well."

"Oh, okay, you can give it a try." Professor Mu didn't stand on ceremony. Even if he didn't know massage, having someone massage him could relieve his discomfort.

Seeing that Professor Mu agreed, Lin Mo quickly got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. He might have some concerns about setting bones for the elderly, but massage was no problem for him.

After leaving the bathroom, Lin Mo had Professor Mu lie face down on the bed, and then began to massage his back with both hands.

Professor Mu was somewhat surprised when he first saw her technique. She was quite skilled, with precise pressure and acupoints. He felt that she was no less skilled than her husband.

"Xiao Lin, this doesn't seem like just a hobby; have you actually studied it?"

“My maternal grandfather used to run a clinic in a rural town, so I had a basic understanding of it, but later I just read books on my own,” Lin Mo said, but his hands kept moving.

He was only half telling the truth. His maternal grandfather did indeed run a clinic in the countryside, but he mainly read books and had little to do with his maternal grandfather.

"So it's a family tradition. Why didn't you study medicine back then?" Professor Mu was even more relieved upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't know anything back then, and everyone said studying medicine was tough, so I didn't go!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Professor Mu sighed. She felt that if Lin Mo had studied medicine, he would definitely have been more successful than in his current field, what a waste of his talent. More than half an hour later, feeling that Professor Mu's breathing had become steady, Lin Mo slowly got up, covered the old lady with a blanket, and then turned off the light and went back to his room.

Back in his room, Lin Mo spent another hour reading the middle volume of Tuina and Bone Setting. He checked his progress and figured he would finish reading it tomorrow. He was looking forward to seeing what level he would reach by then.

Meanwhile, at Yuan Meng's home.

"Yuan Lao Er, are you really my sister? I..." Yuan Hua looked at his sister and felt a sense of helplessness as his sister conspired with the young punk to steal his girlfriend.

But before he could finish speaking, Comrade Yuan abruptly interrupted him: "You still want to talk about whether it's shameful or not? I'm asking you whether it's shameful or not. You'd better get back to where you are tomorrow, you hear me!"

"Hey? This must be Xiaolin, Yuanyuan. You went to play with Xiaolin again today?" Ms. Jiang asked, looking at the video her daughter sent in the group chat.

Yuan Meng nodded, and then recounted how Lin Mo had accompanied her school professor to a meeting and asked her for a favor.

"We were just about to go out for a meal when we ran into my brother chasing after someone and licking them like crazy."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Jiang opened the Angong Niuhuang Wan that Yuan Meng had brought back and looked at it. She then said, "I know this medicine. Your maternal grandmother has one from 82. I don't know if yours is genuine. I'll have someone check it tomorrow. If it's real, I'll send it to your paternal grandmother."

Xiao Lin is a good kid. Don't be stingy with money later. This medicine isn't expensive, but it's not easy to buy. Next time you see him, ask if anything's wrong. If he needs money, feel free to help him out!

Hearing her daughter say that Lin Mo accompanied a professor from the school to a meeting in the city, Ms. Jiang felt even more that her child was outstanding.

Moreover, the fact that they could produce such medicine suggests that they are well-off. As for the possibility that it is counterfeit, Ms. Jiang felt it was unlikely. If they can afford such high-quality skincare products, what is this? She should ask Xiao Lin if she has encountered any difficulties.

"Don't worry, Mom. I asked about it at dinner today. It's fine. He said he got it recently and asked me to find someone to check if it's real. If it is, I'll sell it. Liu Ruyan also said that this medicine is hard to buy. I was thinking that if it's real, I'll keep it and send it to my grandma. I haven't been to grandma's house in a long time," Yuan Mengqiao said, her tone full of longing and filial piety for her grandma.

When Old Yuan heard what his wife and daughter said, he felt very gratified.

Even if the medicine was fake, his wife's first thought was for her elderly mother, and his daughter's thought was for her grandmother. What could Old Yuan say? He had to reward his wife and daughter properly.

Looking at his good-for-nothing son, he grew angrier and angrier, and roared, "Look at your sister, how filial she is! And look at you, you're such a good-for-nothing!"

"Honey, it's been a long time since we visited Yuanyuan's grandma. Let's go back tomorrow and see if the two elders need anything."

Daughter, your mother is right. Have someone check the things tomorrow. If they're real, don't be stingy with the money. Also, Dad will transfer you one or two million tomorrow, deducted from your brother's usual allowance."

"dad!!!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hua tried to awaken his fatherly love.

"Calling me 'Dad' won't help, it's settled!" Comrade Yuan made the final decision, suppressing the Crown Prince while also bestowing the title of Seven-Bead Prince upon his second son.

Seeing this, Miss Yuan stepped forward, hugged Old Yuan, and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek: "Thank you, Dad!"

Comrade Yuan: "Hahaha, add another three million, deducted from your brother's account as well!"

Yuan Hua: orz
"No~~~"

Yuan Meng took the box containing Angong Niuhuang Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine) and approached her brother, slowly opening her palm: "By the mandate of Heaven, may you live a long and prosperous life, brother—the mandate of Heaven is in my hands."

Yuan Hua:
