Reborn As Super Heiress

Capítulo 1862: Chapter 1765: There’s No Such Thing as a Free Lunch

Butler Li felt a bit guilty: “It was Miss Yue who said that this Huo Sining studied Chinese medicine and was a disciple of a master TCM practitioner in Huaxia Country, who has unique skills in saving people. The situation was urgent at the time, so I let Miss Huo give it a try. However, this Miss Huo was truly remarkable. She casually pressed a few points on the master’s body, and within minutes, the master woke up, and his complexion also improved significantly.”

Butler Li’s words were quite in line with what Bill had said, indicating that Bill didn’t exaggerate. It seemed that this woman named Huo Sining indeed had some remarkable skills.

The Li Family Brothers showed surprise and delight in their eyes. They had always believed Western medicine to be more effective than Chinese medicine, and over the years had placed their hope in it. They hadn’t expected Western medicine to have no solution for their father’s illness, while TCM seemed to have some effect.

With this in mind, the two brothers immediately thought of the same thing.

Western medicine doesn’t work, so let’s try Chinese medicine instead. This woman, Huo Sining, they didn’t know what method she used, but she actually managed to alleviate the old master’s condition. However, no matter what, as long as it could cure the master’s illness, they didn’t care what method was used.

The Li Family Brothers placed their hopes and the key to healing on Huo Sining. As they watched her follow Li Jun out of the room, they approached her silently and urgently said:

“Miss Huo Sining, please wait a moment!”

Upon hearing the Li Family Brothers call out, Huo Sining turned her head and looked at the two men puzzled: “Uncle Li, Uncle Li, what can I do for you?”

“Miss Huo, could we speak in private?”

Father Li and Uncle Li smiled warmly, their gaze towards Huo Sining was blazing hot, so much so that it made Huo Sining feel a bit uneasy.

Even Li Jun found their fathers’ gaze too strange, frowning as he looked at them, unsure what had gotten into his father and uncle.

“Dad, Uncle, if there’s something you want to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here. Is there something we can’t hear?”

“This…” Father Li and Uncle Li exchanged glances and both looked at Huo Sining, wanting to consult her opinion.

Huo Sining vaguely guessed what they wanted to ask and didn’t intend to hide anything, so she straightforwardly nodded: “Feel free to ask whatever you want, there is no problem.”

Father Li nodded, pondered his wording, and then spoke: “It’s like this, we just heard from Doctor Bill that after my father passed out, it was thanks to Miss Huo that he woke up so quickly. So we would like to ask, what method did you use to treat my father?”

Huo Sining laughed: “It was just simple acupoint stimulation. I learned Qigong Massage Technique, leveraging Qigong to stimulate acupoints. It can unblock meridians, activate cells, and eliminate toxins, blood stagnation, and diseased cells, thus achieving the effect of curing illnesses and saving people.”

The Li Family Brothers were overjoyed upon hearing this: “Is this Qigong Massage Technique a subject of TCM? I heard you say you learned from Professor Nie Dechang, was this massage technique also taught by Professor Nie Dechang?”

The Li Family Brothers assumed this massage technique was something Huo Sining learned from Nie Dechang. If the disciple was so skilled, wouldn’t the master be even more brilliant? If they found Professor Nie Dechang, it might not be difficult to cure their father’s illness?

However, the Li Family Brothers were thinking too far ahead; Huo Sining’s next words pulled them down from their cloud.

“That’s not the case. This Qigong Massage Technique is a secret technique, not something a typical TCM practitioner would understand. I know this secret technique because, when I was young, I met an old beggar. Seeing he had a connection with me, he taught me this method.”

Huo Sining seemed to see through the Li Family Brothers’ thoughts, paused, then continued:

“Later, that old beggar left, and I have never seen him again. If you want to find that old beggar, it’s probably not possible. When I was a child, that old beggar was already in his late seventies. It has been more than ten years, so even if you do find out who he is, he might have already passed away.”

Upon hearing this, the originally hopeful faces of the Li Family Brothers fell.

But thinking about it, finding the master is impossible, but the disciple doesn’t seem too bad either. At least Huo Sining casually showing a skill had shocked Bill, proving her medical skills shouldn’t be shabby and she might have even more to offer.

With this thought, Father Li’s eyes, which had felt hopeless, once again sparkled:

“No problem, we are not looking for that old beggar; we want to find Miss Huo. From your examination just now, you should have some understanding of our old master’s illness.”

“To be honest, our brothers have sought many people to see this illness of my father’s, but none had much effect. If this illness continues to drag on, I’m afraid my father won’t last long, so I want to ask Miss Huo if you have any different insights or suggestions regarding my father’s illness?”

After Father Li’s question, even Li Jun looked over at her.

Yue Shuwen knew Huo Sining’s Spiritual Energy could save people. Seeing her silent, she became a bit anxious: “Ningning…”

Huo Sining knew Yue Shuwen was filled with gratitude towards Li Changming, and would not want to watch him be tormented by illness.

She didn’t refuse to save this old man, but the reason she tried to save Qin Lianshan was due to their mentor-friend relationship. With Li Changming, she didn’t have such deep feelings. The world is full of those suffering from illness. If she saved everyone, wouldn’t she be exhausted to death?

“Uncle Li, it’s not impossible for me to save someone, but you should also know, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world…”

Huo Sining said lightly, looking just like those doctors in a hospital who are utterly detached and impersonal.

Li Jun was used to seeing Huo Sining’s gentle and elegant demeanor, so he was a bit taken aback seeing her cold and indifferent expression.

Father Li, fearing that Huo Sining might change her mind, hurriedly said: “That is of course, Miss Huo, you can rest assured. As long as you save our old master, whatever the treatment costs, feel free to mention it.”

Recognizing Father Li’s expression, Huo Sining realized he misunderstood her intention.

The reason she mentioned there’s no such thing as a free lunch was because she valued the Li Family’s connections. However, in Father Li’s view, he thought she was asking for a substantial consultation fee.
