Chapter 1093: Chapter 1093: Humans Should Strive for Goodness, At Least Be at Peace with Themselves
Luo Qiao signaled to him to stay put as she walked out, replying, “I’ll leave on the eighteenth of the first month.”
Jing Wanpeng yelled at Luo Qiao’s retreating figure, “If you run into any trouble outside, rember to notify , I’ll be there whenever you need.”
Without turning her head, Luo Qiao responded, “Got it, true bro. Find a sister-in-law soon.”
Jing Wanpeng watched as Luo Qiao disappeared at the end of the corridor, his heart filled with mixed feelings, but now, with a healthy body, he looked forward to the future, his mood suddenly brightening.
In the following days, Luo Qiao hardly went out, focusing instead on spending ti with the children at ho. She told them about her trip abroad, that she would be away for so ti, and promised to visit them during vacations. Only then did the little ones nod their agreent.
However, they stipulated that they wanted to sleep with their mother at night for the next few days, to which Luo Qiao agreed.
When Lu Yichen found out, the two little ones had already taken over one side of the big bed with their pillows, which frustrated him imnsely.
He negotiated with Luo Qiao with a mix of coaxing and pressing, and seeing Luo Qiao agree, he finally ignored the two little ones who were over the moon.
Luo Qiao watched the playful competitive glances among the father and daughters, then glanced at Lu Yichen’s smug expression and thought it was childish.
That day, she received a call from the hospital’s inpatient departnt informing her that Luo Tianming would be discharged tomorrow. It made sense since the day after tomorrow was the fifteenth of the first month, he probably wanted to go ho for the Lantern Festival, mainly to save money by recuperating at ho.
After hanging up the phone, the thought of leaving Capital City in a few days truly made her reluctant.
Everything Ji Lin needed to know had been taught. Before the opening of “Yiren Jiao,” they had enough ti to familiarize themselves with the products and practice their techniques. To ensure everything went smoothly, Ji Lin had also hired ten more people as backups.
As for the products, they had already applied for patents on three series and over twenty categories, enough for current use. Xu Shifan had already started the procedures with the costic factory.
The production rate of the current laboratory was sufficient to supply one store, but not enough for a chain, so starting a factory was essential. To successfully run a beauty salon, the source of products must be controlled, to prevent any mistakes.
Now, Luo Qiao’s “Jin Jia” company already had more than fifty employees, efficiently managed by Xu Shifan.
The next day, Luo Qiao drove alone to the hospital, since last ti Feng Hui made a scene, everyone in the hospital knew Luo Tianming was Luo Qiao’s adoptive father. Although they were also aware of their misconduct, people often sympathize with the underdog, so there would likely be so misleading remarks. Having co this far, another step wouldn’t make much difference.
Today was the principal’s friend’s last acupuncture session; he was now living in the hospital’s family quarters. His severe rheumatism, which had prevented him from walking properly, had been cured after acupuncture sessions every five days.
Today was also Luo Qiao’s last treatnt for him. Yesterday, she even prepared so ointnt specifically for him, instructing him to apply it for a course of treatnt at ho after which maintenance should prevent any recurrence.
Luo Qiao parked her car and first went to the inpatient departnt. As she walked into the ward, Luo Fei was packing up. Seeing Luo Qiao, Luo Fei stood up, “Sister, you’re here.”
Luo Qiao nodded, “I heard you’re being discharged. I ca to see how things were. Where’s mom?”
Luo Fei was sowhat guilty; she had also bullied Luo Qiao in the past, “Please have a seat. Mom went to process the discharge papers. Tomorrow is the fifteenth, so we’ll save money by recuperating at ho.”
She placed a bag of fruits she brought on the table, “You can eat these fruits on the way.”
Looking at the big bag of fruits, Luo Fei knew they weren’t cheap, “You shouldn’t have, thanks.”
Luo Tianming, sitting on the bed, spoke up, “Luo Qiao, I want to apologize again for what I did before. This is probably retribution.”
Luo Qiao didn’t respond, thinking to herself ‘what goes around cos around, nobody is spared by the heavens.’ People should strive to be good, at least for peace of mind.
After leaving the inpatient departnt, she headed straight to the family quarters behind and knocked on the door. The principal happened to be there too, “Hello, Principal.”
“Luo Qiao, please co in. I’m really thankful for your help this ti.”
“Doctors are ant to have compassion; it’s my duty.”
“Good, good, good. You truly are a fine talent cultivated by Beijing dical University.”
“Principal, are you praising yourself?”
Everyone in the room laughed.
The house was temporary, so the decor was very simple. Luo Qiao quickly finished the acupuncture for the elderly man, then took out the ointnt she had prepared the day before, “This is the ointnt I stewed myself, it will last about seven days.
Apply it for half an hour daily. After finishing this supply, the chances of a recurrence should decrease.”
The patient’s family mber, moved, thanked her, “Dr. Luo, my father has suffered a lot from this rheumatism over the years. We truly appreciate it.”
With that, they handed her a prepared red envelope, “This is our fee for the treatnt. Please, Dr. Luo, don’t find it too little; we’re really strapped for cash.”
Knowing that the old man was previously a talented chanic unjustly demoted to the coast and suffered greatly while also developing rheumatism in his legs, Luo Qiao believed what his daughter said. She accepted the red envelope, taking out a hundred-yuan note and returning the rest.
“This amount is enough for my fee. The old man is still sowhat frail. I’ll write a prescription for you. After he returns, take this dicine for about half a month to strengthen vitality. If his body recovers well, he might even feel good enough to resu his old work and achieve greatness again.”
It was then that the old man spoke, emotionally, “I’ll take Dr. Luo’s auspicious words to heart. If my body allows, I indeed want to.”
For so reason, hearing the old man’s words moved Luo Qiao and inspired admiration. He had not let his demotion lead him into despair or bitterness; instead, he was positive, optimistic, and responsible. From the tone of his voice, one could tell he was serious.
Involuntarily, Luo Qiao gestured a thumbs-up to the old man.
The old man imdiately understood and mimicked Luo Qiao’s gesture, both of them breaking into laughter. Hope shone in the old man’s eyes.
