Chapter 149: How Much For A Monthly Package?
No wonder people say that capitalists have black hearts — even the donkeys in the production team weren’t worked this hard! And she still expected him to go all night? Only Miss Yuan could think of something like that.
Even Mrs. Jiang, her biological mother, couldn’t bear to look. In her heart, she kept reminding herself — this was her own child, not something she picked up from the trash heap. She had to be magnanimous, had to be tolerant.
An hour later, the bedroom door inside opened, and Pan Limin came out, speaking softly: “The Old Leader is awake, everyone can come in now.”
Hearing that, everyone stood up and filed in. At that moment, Old Jiang was leaning against the headboard, looking relaxed. Even the frown that occasionally appeared on his forehead earlier had eased, and a smile graced his face.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” Mrs. Jiang hurriedly asked as soon as she entered.
Old Jiang nodded. “Much better. I just had a nap, and after waking up, I feel a lot better all over. The pain’s gone too. I think I could even get up and take a walk. That nap was really comfortable. Thanks to Doctor Pan and Xiao Lin!”
After Professor Li’s prescription and acupuncture, combined with the massage, even though the old man had only slept for an hour, he felt incredibly refreshed — as if his body had become a few years younger.
Mainly because he hadn’t slept well the past few days. Though it was only an hour just now, it was definitely deep sleep, so naturally, he woke up feeling much more energetic.
Hearing this, Lin Mo, who was sitting on a chair beside them, quickly expressed that it was his duty — though at the moment, he looked rather bedraggled, his clothes completely drenched with sweat.
Seeing this, Miss Yuan hurriedly helped him outside to rest. Though she often talked as sharply as a demon king, she was quite observant when she saw Lin Mo so exhausted.
Professor Li took the old man’s pulse, nodded, and smiled. “Old Leader, your pulse is much steadier than before. Remember to take your medicine on time and avoid getting angry. These two days, since your body feels lighter, you can take a few walks occasionally.
Massage does help relieve discomfort, but it’s only for temporary relief. It shouldn’t be done too frequently, or the effect will lessen.
With your condition, as long as you don’t get too worked up and take care of yourself properly, I won’t need to help you regulate your body for at least two years.”
Professor Li’s words were tactful, but everyone present was sharp enough to understand — except for the two less perceptive ones who had gone out.
It was clear he meant that given the old man’s current state, as long as he maintained his health, there would be absolutely no issues for the next two years.
And for a doctor to say that meant he was very confident — even conservatively so — the actual time could be longer.
If he had said that to an ordinary person, it might not sound like good news. But for someone of the old man’s age, it was the best reassurance he could get.
“Hahaha, then I’ll take your good words, Little Li,” Old Jiang laughed.
In an instant, everyone in the room felt a huge sense of relief, their faces lighting up with long-lost smiles.
“Well then, Old Leader, you should rest. We won’t disturb you further. Keep your diet light,” Professor Li said as he prepared to take his leave, his task complete.
“Alright, Old Da, help me see Doctor Li and his two students out,” Old Jiang nodded.
Although he was awake and felt much better, it didn’t mean he didn’t need rest.
“Didn’t expect you really had some skills. Thanks for the hard work!”
Out in the living room, Miss Yuan handed Lin Mo a glass of water with a grin. Clearly, her grandfather’s recovery made her quite happy.
Lin Mo took the water and gulped it down in one go. Only then did he feel a bit better. He finally understood why there were so many female masseuses but so few female massage therapists — this was pure physical labor!
Not to mention a woman — even he could barely handle it. If Senior Brother Pan hadn’t been there helping, he wouldn’t have lasted an hour.
“Of course. I told you I’m a professional,” Lin Mo said with a smile.
Hearing that, Miss Yuan’s eyes rolled slyly as she leaned closer with a grin. “Mozi, tell me honestly, how does Sister Yuan treat you?”
Lin Mo leaned back dramatically. “Not very well!”
Yuan Meng: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
“You’d better say that again with your conscience!”
Lin Mo looked down at himself, then at Miss Yuan. “Conscience? Who has one between us? Even if we do, it’s not exactly obvious, is it?”
“You implying something? That Liu Rushuang’s got a bigger conscience than me, huh?” Miss Yuan gritted her teeth in fury.
If they hadn’t been at her grandmother’s house with outsiders present, she would’ve exploded by now.
Lin Mo quickly shook his head. “No, I’m not. You’re misunderstanding.”
“You’ve already denied it three times, and you’re still saying that’s not what you meant?” Miss Yuan raised her hand, ready to strike.
Just then, the people in the bedroom came out.
“In that case, we’ll take our leave. If there are any issues with the Old Leader, please contact me anytime,” Professor Li said as he prepared to go.
Jiang Jianguo and Mrs. Jiang both thanked him repeatedly. “Thank you for your hard work today, Doctor Li. I’ll have the driver take you. Please continue taking care of my father’s health.”
After all, no matter how wealthy or powerful someone was, they always maintained due respect toward doctors — especially skilled ones — because you never knew when you might need them.
Seeing Lin Mo stand up, Mrs. Jiang came over warmly. “Xiao Lin, thank you for your hard work today. Why don’t you stay for dinner? Auntie will cook personally!”
“No need, Auntie. I have to get back to school soon. I was called here halfway, and my friend’s still waiting for me. Maybe another day — I’ll visit you then,” Lin Mo replied with a polite smile.
Not to mention whether Mrs. Jiang was just being polite — even if she wasn’t, since his teacher and senior were both leaving, it wouldn’t be right for him to stay alone.
“Mom, why are you being so polite? I’ll leave with him later. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him,” Miss Yuan patted her flat chest confidently.
Mrs. Jiang glared at her daughter, suddenly feeling exhausted.
“Alright then. Xiao Lin, come visit when you have time. By the way, how did you get here? Let Yuanyuan drive you back in my car,” Mrs. Jiang said.
Normally, her elder brother’s driver would take them, but since her daughter wanted to go too, she could only offer her own car.
Caught off guard by the question, Lin Mo scratched his head awkwardly. “Uh… I drove Sister Yuan’s car here.”
Hearing that, Mrs. Jiang paused — then laughed. “Haha, that’s fine then. Drive safe, you two!”
She already knew about her daughter lending Lin Mo the car. What a coincidence indeed.
Soon, Jiang Jianguo had the driver take Professor Li and Pan Limin away.
At the community gate, Lin Mo and Miss Yuan got into the car, while Mrs. Jiang waved from the side.
“Xiao Lin, remember to visit when you have time!”
“Got it, Auntie. You head back inside,” Lin Mo replied from the passenger seat, waving back.
Miss Yuan hit the gas, and the car sped off, leaving Mrs. Jiang shaking her head. What was she supposed to do with that daughter of hers?
Inside the car, Miss Yuan drove while playing music, clearly in a good mood.
“Mozi, you free these days?” she asked casually as she drove.
Lin Mo: .
“What are you trying to say?”
“Nothing much,” Miss Yuan said with a smirk. “I just want to get a yearly package for my grandpa. What do you think?”
Lin Mo rolled his eyes. “Sister, forget about a medical license — even my student ID’s about to expire. Do you really think I can do that?”
“Cut the nonsense. Just tell me — how much for a monthly package?”
Lin Mo: .
