Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 355 - 352: The Rescued Man’s Family Comes to Thank Her

Chapter 355: Chapter 352: The Rescued Man’s Family Comes to Thank Her

It seems Lu Shouyue’s family has misunderstood their relationship, are they looking at her like a daughter-in-law?

Gazing at the golden bracelet that Lu Shouyue just put on her, and recalling his pleading gaze, Lin Wanwan felt both amused and embarrassed.

Not knowing what to do, the doorbell rang again.

Lin Wanwan leaped up: "I’ll get the door."

As the door opened, there stood an unfamiliar young couple with things in their hands.

Lin Wanwan looked at them and asked, "Who are you?"

The young man spoke: "Are you the doctor who saved someone that day? We are the children of the man you saved. My name is Hu Wentang, and this is my sister, Hu Wenjing. We’ve been wanting to thank you but couldn’t make it back until today. Thank you so much for what you did that day."

Lin Wanwan smiled and asked, "How is your dad?"

The man replied, "He’s almost fully recovered. After doing a CT scan, the doctor diagnosed it as a lacunar stroke. Thankfully, you were there to rescue him, and giving him that Angong Niuhuang pill was very timely and effective. He could speak a bit when he reached the hospital. We owe it all to you; you’re a great benefactor to our family. Thank you so much!"

At this point, Lu Shouyue also came over and invited them to come inside.

"No need to take off your shoes, just come right in."

Rather than letting strangers wear his house slippers, Lu Shouyue preferred them to walk in with their dirty shoes.

After all, his intelligent floor mopping robot cleaned every day, and he simply changed a disposable mop cloth after it finished an area. It wasn’t much trouble.

Moreover, the housekeeper could come to clean once every two or three days starting today, so there was no worry about getting dirty.

Hu Wentang and Hu Wenjing shyly walked in. The former casually placed some fruits at the entrance, while the latter handed a packaging bag in front of Lin Wanwan, smiling shyly: "Thank you so much for that day. I didn’t know how to thank you, and I don’t know what you like. Here’s a little fragrant bag for you. I hope you don’t mind."

Lin Wanwan firmly declined: "I appreciate the gesture, but I cannot accept the bag. Let’s not fuss over it, it doesn’t look good."

On this side, Ye Yinyin and Aunt Lu already understood the situation, and Mother Lu’s gaze towards Lin Wanwan grew softer.

Beautiful and highly skilled in medicine, with a generous heart, this young girl seems perfect in every way.

Most importantly, their son likes her; every time he looks at her, his eyes light up.

At their status, they don’t care much about arranged marriages. If their son can find someone compatible, it’s naturally great, but they can’t force him if he doesn’t like it. After all, it’s his life to live.

On one side, Ye Yinyin was secretly observing Lin Wanwan with a smile, while on the other side, the Hu siblings continued to express their gratitude and shared some follow-up events with Lin Wanwan.

After Old Hu was admitted to the hospital that day, all the tests were done in Western medicine style, but when it came to medication, the barely-speaking Old Hu requested to drink the herbal medicine that the Fairy mentioned.

The maid who accompanied them hurriedly played the recorded video on her phone for the doctor.

She recorded it as a precaution.

Her employer had a sudden severe illness, and a stranger was performing acupuncture on his head. She had to record everything in detail so she could explain it to his children if anything happened.

The Western medicine doctor watched the video and saw a young girl in a mask feed the medicine and perform acupuncture, waking the unconscious man. He felt a bit of admiration.

However, as a Western doctor, he couldn’t prescribe herbal medicine.

Unable to communicate effectively with the patient, he had to refer them to the hospital’s Traditional Chinese Medicine department.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine department’s chief, a high-level practitioner at Hai City’s top-tier hospital, naturally wasn’t low-skilled. After a thorough examination, he agreed with the young girl’s prescription of the Life-extending Decoction seen in the video.

It was perfect for treating post-stroke symptoms, though the dosage needed adjustment based on the patient’s condition.

This prescription was self-developed by Medicine King Sun Simiao. He noted: ’I once suffered a stroke, with difficulty in speech and mobility. After taking this prescription, four doses a day, continuously for ten days and nights, I recovered.’

For centuries, this prescription and its variations have saved countless stroke patients but were later demonized by Western medicine.

Until recent years, when traditional Chinese medicine was again emphasized, it gradually returned to clinical use.

Old Hu would have to stay hospitalized to take the medicine for at least ten days. Being unable to thank her in person, their children came at the first opportunity.

It was quite a coincidence that they lived in the same building as Lu Shouyue, only on a middle floor of over three hundred square meters—not as luxurious as Lu Shouyue’s penthouse duplex level.

They occasionally met Lu Shouyue in the elevator, impressed by his towering height, good looks, and financial ability to live in the penthouse.

After seeing the video, they immediately recognized Lu Shouyue with the rescue girl and came to visit. Otherwise, they would have taken more time to find their benefactor.

In conversation, Lin Wanwan learned they ran a furniture factory. Thoughts whirled in her mind, as she still had lots of Yellow Flower Pear Wood stored in Great Tang’s warehouse yet to be moved here!

Besides purchasing a boatload herself in Qiong State, Sun Chuyao had also helped her collect some good timber at the South Pier in Mao County.

Perhaps she could find out more about their background, and if financially safe, consider cooperation.

However, Lin Wanwan didn’t show it for now. She just exchanged WeChat contacts with the Hu siblings for future communication.

An hour later, after the Hu siblings bid farewell, Ye Yinyin and Aunt Lu also planned to leave.

After seeing everyone off, Lin Wanwan quickly took off the bracelet that Mother Lu had given her.

This golden bracelet might not bear a brand, but the intricately carved dragon and phoenix, the turquoise and gem adorning the phoenix’s body, indicated it was not cheap.

The craftsmanship of filigree and enameling was also remarkable, appearing especially luxurious and noble, as if belonging to a royal palace.

Not being anyone special to Lu Shouyue, how could she accept such a valuable gift from his mother?

Holding it made her anxious, as if she had sold herself to Lu Shouyue.

Lu Shouyue casually said, "Perhaps my mother feels a connection with you. She is very generous and has never retracted a gift given. Wanwan, please don’t make it difficult for me."

"No, no, no, without merit, I can’t accept a reward. It’s better if you keep it for your mom."

"A few days ago, you gave me the old-style Angong Niuhuang pill, and I accepted it without hesitation. Why are you resisting my mom’s gift now? It feels distant."

"That’s not the same. The pill isn’t worth much, but this bracelet feels like an antique. There’s no comparison."

Lu Shouyue laughed: "Gifts are never about worth but sentiment. Are you rejecting my mother’s sentiment? You can talk to her yourself since you’ve added her on WeChat."

Lin Wanwan sighed. That seemed right, yet kind of wrong.

Nevertheless, she couldn’t return the bracelet, but she felt indebted to them now.

She secretly decided that once the rough gemstones were cut, she would commission the best goldsmith in Great Tang’s Treasure Pavilion to craft an exquisite piece of jewelry in return.
