Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
At night!
The news on the internet had already affected their lives.
Zhao Ming Qing returned home and his children were sitting on the sofa as if they were waiting for their dad to return home. When Zhao Ming Qing returned, the eldest child, Zhao Li Xing, immediately went forward.
The other siblings looked at their oldest brother as this matter required him to take action. The younger siblings sat aside to act as a backup.
Their eldest brother was more capable than them and held a higher status as well in the corporate world. His brother was extremely renown. Besides their dad, their eldest brother had the biggest say in the family.
Zhao Ming Qing was exhausted after working for the entire day but he felt that it had been worth it. After following his mentor, he felt that he had been totally changed. He had learned so much knowledge that he had never known before.
When he returned home, he only took a glance at his children. He was still a little angry. These children had ruined his mentorship ceremony and he still remembered it. It wasn’t because he was petty, it was because this was a major problem and if they weren’t his children, he’d definitely have beaten them to death.
Zhao Li Xing remained silent for a while and when he saw his dad go into the study room without saying anything, he stood up. “Dad…”
Zhao Ming Qing frowned. “What’s wrong? Why are you guys so free to be here?”
“We know about what’s happening online. This matter has blown up. A few leaders contacted me. Dad, I don’t know what you’re up to but you have to be cautious about some things,” Zhao Li Xing said.
Zhao Shi frowned. “Li Xing…” It was as if she was blaming her son for not speaking to his dad respectfully.
However, Zhao Li Xing was extremely affected by it. He was worried that his dad had done something illegal. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in his dad. It was because his dad had totally changed after getting that young fella as a mentor. He would lock himself in his study room every day and nobody knew what he was doing.
Zhao Li Xing’s status allowed him to check on Master Lin and he found out everything about him. He felt that it was unbelievable.
Scallion pancakes, martial arts, fortune-telling, athletics, locksmithing, etc. These made him feel that it was extremely unbelievable.
When someone seemed extremely powerful, it didn’t necessarily mean that he was really capable. Zhao Li Xing felt that something was wrong.
Zhao Li Xing looked at his son. “You don’t have to bother about my things. Just take good care of yourself.” Then, he went up immediately and didn’t say anything else. He was exhilarated. The prescription was finally complete and it was because of his mentor’s guidance. This was a happy occasion for him and he really wanted to tell everyone about it.
However, his mentor had told him to take it slow and not be impatient. He had to take it one step at a time and only tell everyone about it the next day.
Zhao Li Xing continued, “Dad, this matter doesn’t just concern you. It concerns all of us. Do you even know how we’re being humiliated outside?”
“Haha,” Zhao Ming Qing sneered. “You care about what others say? Alright, then you guys can disown me as a father. I will not blame you at all.”
Zhao Shi snapped when she heard that, “What are you saying?!”
Zhao Li Xing said, “Dad, what happened to you? Did that young fella feed you some unusual medicine? I’ll get someone to bring him away and see what’s wrong with him.”
“You dare?!” Suddenly, Zhao Ming Qing’s face turned red and he started to breathe heavily. “Let me tell you, if you dare to do that, I’ll break your legs.”
Zhao Li Xing was infuriated. “Dad, why are you so stubborn? This matter is literally impossible. If you don’t settle the matter about that video, your reputation will be tarnished for life.”
“I don’t want to talk to you about anything. You guys don’t understand at all. The youngsters these days only care about what others think. You’ll never be successful,” Zhao Ming Qing said.
Zhao Li Xing rebutted, “Dad if I cared about what others think, I wouldn’t have attained my status today.”
“Status? Did you achieve it by yourself? If I didn’t let down my ego and ask a friend to help you, do you think you can be who you are today with your own capabilities?” Zhao Ming Qing was furious. He had initially been happy but now he had been agitated by his own son.
Zhao Bin and the others were stunned. They hadn’t expected things to turn out like this. It was hopeless.
“I got it based on my own abilities,” Zhao Li Xing rebutted. He didn’t want anyone to belittle his achievement.
Zhao Ming Qing waved his hand. “I don’t want to argue with you anymore. You think you’ve grown up and you have your own opinion. Let me tell you this, your dad isn’t old and stupid. I know what I’m doing. I taught all of you since young. Don’t even think about teaching me what to do. You’re not that capable.”
Zhao Shi was anxious. “Don’t be angry, talk nicely to him. The children are worried about you…”
“Hmph,” Zhao Ming Qing sneered. He didn’t say anything and went up. He slammed the door shut and didn’t want to talk to anyone.
Zhao Shi looked at her son. “Li Xing, don’t argue with your dad. Your dad will always be your father.”
Zhao Li Xing replied, “It’s because he’s my dad that I don’t want him to sink even deeper. Mum, you saw what happened recently. None of them were good things. The whole nation knows about what happened after they read the articles online.”
In the study room.
Zhao Ming Qing sat on the wooden chair and took deep breaths to calm himself down. Then, he shook his head in despair. He thought about when his children had still been young and they all looked up to him and listened to whatever he said. He had always seemed to be right in his children’s eyes. However, his children had grown up and they didn’t trust him anymore.
Zhao Ming Qing was tired after thinking about it.
However, it concerned the love of his life – Chinese medicine. Then, his heart burned with determination again. Chinese medicine wasn’t so inferior. It had thousands of years of history. How could Chinese medicine only be used to maintain good health?
When he thought of the hard work that he had put in for the past few days and that the results were finally out, he felt extremely happy.
He thought of what his mentor had said.
‘Tomorrow will be the day Chinese medicine sees its glory.’
Perhaps it could be said to be the day that he would save his reputation.
The next day!
In the morning.
Zhao Ming Qing stood outside the hospital. There were a lot of reporters and people around him.
Lin Fan had prepared the scallion pancakes. It was already 9:30 am and it was the timing that he had chosen specifically.
No matter what, he had to sell the scallion pancakes every day.
When Zhao Ming Qing appeared outside the hospital, someone was so furious that he smashed a bottle of beverage at Zhao Ming Qing’s feet.
“It’s him! The inhumane and unethical elderly Chinese doctor.”
