Back to the 1980s: Transmigrated as the Bigshot's Pampered Wife-Chapter 124: The Birth of Divine Doctor Su Gu

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: The Birth of Divine Doctor Su Gu

Everyone in the living room followed Grandpa Gu’s gaze and saw a very beautiful girl pushing a wheelchair in through the doorway.

She was wearing a white dacron shirt and black trousers, exuding an air of pure and sweet charm.

"Grandpa, your friends are here. Hello, Grandpas. Jiaojiao pays her respects."

Gu Jiaojiao greeted them playfully, beaming as she bowed to everyone.

Her skin was already fair, her features delicate and beautiful. When she smiled, dimples appeared on her cheeks, making her look even more enchanting.

Everyone nodded and smiled in response. The others were a bit more reserved, but Li An boomed loudly.

"Well now, Old Guy Gu, this little granddaughter of yours looks just like an immortal! I’m absolutely smitten."

Grandpa Gu grinned from ear to ear. "Haha... Jiaojiao, this is Old Li. His given name is An, and he’s a history professor."

"It’s a pleasure to meet you, Professor Li." Gu Jiaojiao had actually wanted to call him Grandpa Li, but she thought the title sounded a bit strange.

"Jiaojiao, my dear, you can just call me Old Li! I hear your medical skills are amazing. Why don’t you take a look and see how much longer I have to live? Old Guy He says I’ll be six feet under soon!"

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

"Jiaojiao, don’t mind that crazy old man. Grandpa He is so glad you’re finally back. Did your grandfather really not take any medicine?"

The old man, dressed in a black Tang suit, was tall and thin with kind eyes. He walked over with a cheerful smile and patted Gu Jiaojiao’s shoulder as he asked.

"Jiaojiao, this is Old Man He. He comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and is now the most famous Divine Doctor in the Imperial City."

"Hello, He Shen Yi. My grandfather indeed didn’t take any medicine, but he did receive injections. He said that after years of taking medicine, just the smell of it makes him want to vomit."

It wasn’t that Gu Jiaojiao was being cruel and exposing her grandfather; it was just that an expert would know the truth at a glance.

Her grandfather’s organs were starting to fail due to chronic malnutrition. How could he possibly get better without injections or medicine?!

You could fool a layman, but trying to fool He Shen Yi, acclaimed as China’s number one Divine Doctor, was simply impossible.

"Oh! Now that Jiaojiao has said that, this old man can rest easy. If it were really as Old Guy Gu claimed, I would have died from anger.

But the fact that you cured a half-dead Old Guy Gu is more than enough proof of your incredible medical skills."

He Shen Yi got the answer he wanted. He patted Gu Jiaojiao’s shoulder, his smile growing even kinder.

"That’s just my grandfather trying to sing my praises. Compared to Grandpa He’s miraculous ability to bring the dying back to life, my skills are nothing but parlor tricks."

Gu Jiaojiao giggled and generously invited Li An to sit down so she could take his pulse.

’I learned long ago that the best kind of relationship isn’t about taking too much or being too independent, but about mutual indebtedness.’

’Through give and take, you let each other know: I need you, and I am indebted to you.’

Gu Jiaojiao’s poise and generosity immediately won He Shen Yi over. He thought to himself, ’The disciple of a reclusive master truly is extraordinary.’

"Jiaojiao, my name is Xia Qiuming. The Xia for ’summer,’ the Qiu for ’to seek,’ and the Ming for ’to understand.’ I teach at Imperial Capital Medical University."

Seeing Gu Jiaojiao sit down to take a pulse, Xia Qiuming immediately leaned in to introduce himself.

"Hello, Professor Xia. Shuoci mentioned on the way here that you’re known as China’s number one scalpel and are the most famous surgeon in Hua Country.

But I didn’t expect you to be so young, and so handsome and elegant."

"Not at all, not at all. I only wish to use my life’s learning to care for every patient, to extend their lives and restore their health."

"Doctor Xia is not only divinely skilled but also has exquisite medical techniques. It’s truly admirable." Gu Jiaojiao genuinely admired Xia Qiuming.

Xia Qiuming was delighted to be praised so highly by Gu Jiaojiao, and his smile was like a spring breeze.

Regardless of age, the capable are respected. Being praised by someone worthy of respect is a reason to be happy.

Gu Jiaojiao took Li An’s pulse for a long time, also considering the descriptions from Xia Qiuming and He Shen Yi.

Seeing Li An, who was as round as a ball, she concluded that he had diabetes, and a severe case at that.

As the disease progressed, Li An had already developed multi-system damage and was showing symptoms related to complications.

It was a disease that even the advanced medicine of later generations couldn’t cure, though it wasn’t immediately fatal. No wonder He Shen Yi said Li An would be in the ground soon.

In this era of scarce medical supplies, a patient like Li An could easily end up as a portrait on the wall.

But in her space, Gu Jiaojiao had plenty of insulin glargine injections, recombinant human insulin injections, insulin aspart injections...

"Professor Li, your illness cannot be cured, but with long-term injections, living to be a hundred years old won’t be a problem."

"Jiaojiao, are you telling the truth?" Li An was so happy he felt like jumping up.

"Jiaojiao, you can make a medicine to treat Mr. Li?" Xia Qiuming exclaimed in surprise.

"Jiaojiao’s medical skills are exquisite. Although she is not yet renowned in the medical world, she is an expert at treating all sorts of difficult and complex diseases. This old man is thoroughly impressed."

He Shen Yi’s eyes lit up, and he smiled like a Bodhisattva in a temple.

Jiaojiao could even treat Li An, who had been all but pronounced dead. Grandpa Gu, Geng Ruixian, and Eldest Brother Gu were profoundly shocked.

They realized that the injections Jiaojiao had been giving them every day were precious, life-saving medicines.

No wonder, Grandpa Gu thought. His body felt so much lighter after every injection, yet Jiaojiao had never mentioned how precious the medicine was.

Old Sir Xie and Xie Zhuoyu were also incredibly moved. A Divine Doctor had been right beside them all along, but they hadn’t known.

She not only possessed exquisite medical skills but also embodied a generous medical ethic; her method of diagnosis and treatment put both patients and their families at ease.

"Old Guy He and Doctor Xia have exquisite medical skills and are fully recognized in the medical world.

They have repeatedly received the highest honors and been hailed as Divine Doctors. Jiaojiao’s medical skills may be even greater than theirs, so it would be fine to call her Divine Doctor Jiao Jiao."

Cheng Tao, who had been silent until now, spoke with a broad smile, his gaze on Gu Jiaojiao particularly intense.

Gu Jiaojiao thought, ’This old gentleman must have a patient in his family, but I won’t be the one to ask.’

’The best way to protect yourself is to never overestimate your importance in other people’s hearts.’

’What hurts you is never the heartlessness of others, but your own persistence in holding onto illusions. Don’t hope, don’t expect, and you won’t be disappointed.’

"Please, have some tea, Grandpas. I’m going to the kitchen to help." Gu Jiaojiao finished with a smile and headed for the kitchen.

The crowd in the living room stood frozen, listening to her departing footsteps, their hearts churning with excitement.

Old Sir Gu was the first to break the silence. "Jiaojiao is still a child. Even though her medical skills are incredible, no one will believe in her for now. She has given herself a title: Su and Gu."

"Divine Doctor Su Gu. It has a nice ring to it," Xia Qiuming said.

The conversation in the living room once again buzzed with excitement over Gu Jiaojiao’s medical skills.

The Su family’s kitchen was also exceptionally busy. Su’s mother was stir-frying at the stove, Mrs. Gu was chopping vegetables, and Mr. Su was tending the fire.

"Jiaojiao, how about we use this old duck to make a soup with vermicelli?" Su’s mother asked happily when she saw her daughter-in-law arrive.

"Su Mama, you truly are a master chef. I love old duck and vermicelli soup," Gu Jiaojiao said, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
