Chapter 182 Chu Xingyao
"Yaoyao, you've misunderstood this young man," the old man said as he saw his granddaughter crying like rain on pear blossoms, and he quickly interjected.
"Grandpa, wasn't it him who pushed you?" Chu Xingyao asked with red eyes.
"It was indeed him who pushed me."
"Then Grandpa, you..." Chu Xingyao was somewhat puzzled.
Since it was Su Chen who pushed Grandpa down, why did Grandpa say she misunderstood Su Chen?
"Although it was this young man who pushed me down, he did it to save me. If he hadn't pushed me away just now, perhaps your grandpa might have been hit and killed by the car..." The old man recounted what had just happened.
"Yes, I'm sorry, it was, it was my misunderstanding..." Chu Xingyao realized she had misunderstood Su Chen and said through gritted teeth.
"It's okay," Su Chen shook his head.
Chu Xingyao helped the old man and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment," Su Chen called out to the two. "Old man, have you injured your waist before?"
"How did you know?" Chu Xingyao showed surprise in her big eyes.
Why did she feel such resentment towards rich people?
It was because a few years ago, her grandpa was hit by a car while sweeping the streets.
The perpetrator drove a luxury car. The traffic police arrived and without asking, directly said it was her grandpa's fault.
Finally, out of humanity, the perpetrator compensated a few thousand yuan.
Besides that, Chu Xingyao was often harassed by several wealthy students at school. M|V|LEM*PYR is the home of this chapter
There was even someone who outright offered her a hundred thousand yuan to be his girlfriend for a day.
Therefore, what Chu Xingyao couldn't stand the most were those rich people, who think they can do whatever they want just because they have money.
But this is exactly how society is. As long as you have money, you can do whatever you want.
"Let me have a look," Su Chen walked over, helped the old man to sit down by the greenery, and then pressed a few times on the man's waist.
He found that indeed the old man had suffered a serious injury to the waist, which left a chronic condition.
Just now, he pushed him again, and although it was only a bit painful at the moment, if left untreated, it could become much worse.
Right away, he said, "Old man, bear with it a bit, the process might hurt a little."
"Can you cure my grandpa?" Chu Xingyao's bright eyes looked at Su Chen with a mix of skepticism and hope.
Her grandpa's waist injury had never healed properly.
Whenever there was gloomy rainy weather, the pain would be unbearable.
He still endured the pain to work as a sanitation worker to pay for her education.
She originally wanted to find a part-time job to earn money, but her grandpa strictly forbade it.
Telling her to focus solely on her studies.
In fact, sometimes seeing her grandpa work so hard, she really wanted to indulge herself.
To be like those "bad girls," with her looks, she could easily make money.
For example, she knew a girl who lived in the same dormitory.
She could make a thousand yuan a day.
And that girl was not as pretty as her, nor did she have a better figure.
Her grandpa labored from dawn to dusk, earning only a bit over two thousand yuan a month.
There were several times when Chu Xingyao nearly wavered.
But she was afraid that her grandpa would be sad if he found out...
So now all she could do was study hard and after graduating make a lot of money, and then she could let her grandpa enjoy life.
It was certain that preventing her grandpa from working was impossible.
But if Su Chen could cure her grandpa, at the very least her grandpa wouldn't have to suffer so much pain anymore.
Su Chen nodded and said, "It shouldn't be a problem."
After that, he brought out several silver needles as if by magic.
"Young man, you can't just puncture randomly with the needles."
"That's right, puncturing the wrong acupuncture points can be lethal!"
"It couldn't be that you're a medical intern from some Chinese medicine college looking to practice on the elderly, could you?"
Seeing Su Chen actually taking out silver needles, the onlooking crowd began to persuade Su Chen again, with some even thinking he was deliberately using the elderly to practice on.
After all, there are very few practitioners of Chinese medicine nowadays, let alone those who can perform acupuncture.
Even if there is, they are usually in their seventies or eighties.
Yet Su Chen looked to be only in his twenties.
How could he possibly know acupuncture.
Hearing what everyone said, even Chu Xingyao began to waver.
"If you trust me, I will perform it. If you don't, I won't," Su Chen let Chu Xingyao choose.
"Go ahead, young man, I trust you," the elderly man was the first to speak up.
"I trust you too," said Chu Xingyao as well.
She really hoped her grandfather would get better.
Su Chen nodded, then started applying the needles to the elderly man.
Then, one could see Su Chen's hands move as fast as lightning.
Almost in an instant, seven silver needles were inserted into the elderly man's waist.
"Grandpa, how do you feel?" Chu Xingyao anxiously watched her own grandfather.
"It feels warm... Ah! It hurts!" The elderly man suddenly started to convulse.
"Grandpa, are you alright?" Chu Xingyao's face turned pale.
Ever since her parents passed away, she had been relying on her grandfather. If anything were to happen to him, she really didn't know what she would do.
"Old man, hold on, just get through this period of time," Su Chen frowned and said.
"I thought he actually knew how to perform acupuncture..."
"Harming others and himself, better call the emergency number 120."
"..."
A sigh mixed with a bit of schadenfreude came from the crowd.
Seeing the elder's convulsions getting worse, Chu Xingyao was extremely regretful.
Why did she agree to let this young man treat her grandfather?
Regarding her grandpa's condition, she had previously secretly inquired with a doctor in this field, who said that her grandpa's illness could be cured, but it would cost hundreds of thousands.
Not to mention hundreds of thousands, even a few thousand yuan was something her grandpa was unwilling to spend.
Originally, it was because he wanted to save a few thousand yuan in hospital fees and discharged himself early that he ended up with lingering complications.
And Su Chen was just a twenty-something young man; he might not even have graduated from college yet.
How could he possibly cure her grandpa?
She was the one who had hurt her grandpa.
Thinking this, Chu Xingyao's tears began to fall pitter-patter.
Seeing the young girl's tears break through, Su Chen felt somewhat guilty; he thought the old man could take it, so he did not block the man's sense of pain.
"I'm sorry..."
Hearing Su Chen apologize, Chu Xingyao thought her grandpa was beyond help, and she immediately collapsed, flinging herself into Su Chen's arms and pummeling him with her fists.
"It's all your fault, all your fault! You owe me my grandpa, owe me my grandpa!"
"Yaoyao, stop hitting, grandpa is fine," just then, the elderly man's weak voice rang out.
"Grandpa, you're alright, that's wonderful," Chu Xingyao threw herself into her grandpa's arms, sobbing loudly.
A few minutes later, the elderly man stood up and walked a few steps, very smoothly.
He made a few side movements and found that his waist was more flexible than before and no longer had the hidden pain of the past.
"Am I really cured?" The old man's face was full of joy.
He knew his condition; it was not supposed to be cured so easily.
He didn't expect that in just a little while, he had already begun to feel much better.
Su Chen nodded, "Yes, as long as you follow the prescription I gave you, soak a few doses of medicinal wine, apply it to your waist every day for a month, you'll be fully recovered."
Learning that Su Chen truly cured her grandpa, Chu Xingyao was also very happy.
However, she soon became somewhat conflicted.
Su Chen not only saved her grandpa but also cured his chronic condition. This was a great kindness, how could she ever repay Su Chen?
