Chapter 262: The Sky of Beijing Was Not Nice
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wang Yao booked himself into a presidential suite. Luckily, a presidential suite was available. As they were very popular, it was sometimes hard to get the booking.
Wang Yao just wanted to experience what it was like to stay in a presidential suite.
He heard the suites in the hotel were nice and luxurious. Now he had the money, so he wanted to experience how luxurious the presidential suite was.
The room was huge and luxurious.
He was not sure about the exact standard of a presidential suite, but it seemed to him that the everything in this house had to be the best.
The furniture, the carpet, and the sound system were all the best in the world. Even a small cup inside the suite might cost over one thousand yuan. The sound system was as expensive as a luxury car. There was also 24-hour butler service available.
It was extremely luxury and comfortable.
The person providing butler service to Wang Yao was a young girl. She was tall and pretty. She was even as pretty as a movie star.
Wang Yao was wearing casual clothes. He didn’t look like someone rich.
However people should not be judged by their look and outfit.
Wang Yao had just a backpack with a few clothes inside. After he had put the backpack down, he walked around the house which had an internal space of several hundred square meters.
It was a luxury house, but too big.
A house should not be too empty. The house was too big for Wang Yao, so it seemed to be lifeless, and should be avoided.
But no one cared whether a house was lifeless or not, and not many people could afford to live in such a luxurious house for a long time. It cost nearly 10,000 yuan per night. Most people didn’t have that kind of money.
Wang Yao went to Su Xiaoxue’s house the next morning by taxi after staying one night in the presidential suite.
“Hello Dr. Wang, good to see you!” said Song Ruiping.
She was thrilled to see Wang Yao. She knew Wang Yao was going to come back, but didn’t expect him so soon.
“Please come in.” She invited Wang Yao into the house with a smile.
“Why did you not let me know you are going to come, so that I could arrange people to pick you up?” said Song Ruiping.
“That’s fine. I’ve prepared for the trip, so I came here as soon as I could,” said Wang Yao. “Let me take a look at Miss Su.”
“Sure,” said Song Ruiping.
The two of them entered Su Xiaoxue’s room. Su Xiaoxue was still covered in gauze. The only difference was that she had less bandages around her body. Some parts of her limbs were no longer covered. Su Xiaoxue looked towards Wang Yao as she heard people entering her room.
“Hello, Xiaoxue,” said Wang Yao.
“Hello, Dr. Wang,” said Su Xiaoxue, whose voice was hoarse and extremely low. Wang Yao wouldn’t have heard her if he hadn’t paid attention to what she said.
What is happening?
Wang Yao was surprised.
She can speak! She also knows me! That’s a good sign.
“Can I take a look at you?” asked Wang Yao.
“Sure,” said Su Xiaoxue.
Wang Yao sat next to Su Xiaoxue’s bed, and put his hand on her wrist where new skin had been growing.
She was still quite ill, but much better than before.
“I’m going to start the treatment session,” said Wang Yao.
“Okay,” said Su Xiaoxue.
The diluted Muscle Revitalizing powder was put inside a unique atomizer, which sprayed the powder gently on Su Xiaoxue’s skin. The atomizer allowed the Muscle Revitalizing powder to be sprayed on the skin evenly. A nice smell of herbs was in the air.
Su Xiaoxue felt at ease when Wang Yao was spraying the Muscle Revitalizing powder on her skin. She felt that she was in the natural cool breeze. The heat in her body was driven out gradually.
After Wang Yao had applied the Muscle Revitalizing powder to Su Xiaoxue’s limbs, belly, and back, more than half of the Muscle Revitalizing powder was gone, and Wang Yao had seen most of Su Xiaoxue’s body, except for her private parts.
“Shall I leave the rest to the nurse?” asked Wang Yao.
“Okay,” said Song Ruiping.
The nurse applied the powder to the rest of Su Xiaoxue’s body.
Knowing that Wang Yao was visiting, Su Xiaoxue’s father also came to meet Wang Yao to express his gratitude, although he was extremely busy.
“You’re staying at the Hilton this time?” Su Xiaoxue’s parents was surprised to know where Wang Yao stayed this time.
“You don’t like the cottage you stayed last time?” asked Song Ruiping softly.
“Not like that. I like the cottage. I just wanted to see what the Hilton looks like,” said Wang Yao with a smile. “I simply wanted to experience what it was like to stay in a five-star hotel.”
“I see,” said Su Xianghua with a smile.
Song Ruiping and Su Xianghua invited Wang Yao to stay for lunch, but Wang Yao declined with a smile.
He went back to Hilton and ordered some western food. The taste of the food was not bad, but it looked good.
After he checked out of the hotel, he went to the cottage he stayed in the last time when he was in Beijing. Chen Ying was still there, and was very happy to see Wang Yao. She welcomed Wang Yao with a smile, a genuine smile.
“Ms Song just called to ask why you suddenly wanted to stay in a hotel,” said Chen Ying with confusion.
“I suddenly wanted to experience what it is like to stay in a five star hotel. So I just went,” said Wang Yao.
“That simple?” asked Chen Ying.
“Of course! What do you think?” said Wang Yao.
Chen Ying couldn’t say anything. She had thought too much.
In fact, it was more comfortable and convenient to stay in a cottage like this.
“How is your brother? Is he any better?” asked Wang Yao.
“He’s much better after taking the decoction you gave him,” said Chen Ying.
“Good. I’m glad he’s better,” said Wang Yao.
“How long are you going to stay here this time?” asked Chen Ying.
“About a week,” said Wang Yao.
Wang Yao wanted to achieve three goals after he had finished treating Su Xiaoxue this time around.
The three goals included removing toxins, unblocking meridians, and revitalizing muscles.
Meanwhile, Dr. Chen went to Su Xiaoxue’s house.
“Dr. Chen, could you please check if there is any decoctions left in the device?” asked Song Ruiping while holding the atomizer Wang Yao had used.
“There must be,” said Dr. Chen, a skinny elder sitting next to Su Xiaoxue’s bed.
“Can you analyze the ingredients of the decoction?” asked Song Ruiping.
“Sorry, I can’t,” said Dr. Chen with a smile. Song Ruiping had asked this question more than once.
He knew Song Ruiping was unwilling to give up hope. However, it was too difficult to analyze the ingredients of a decoction without knowing what herbs were in it. In fact, people overseas had tried to analyze it and extract the active ingredients from an herbal decoction. The whole process cost a huge amount of money and human resources. They were successful eventually, but the active ingredients extracted from the decoction didn’t work well as expected. This was why Chinese Traditional Medicine was so wonderful.
Yin and Yang were compatible. The five elements could develop with the support of one another. Those principles contained the philosophy of the universe.
Song Ruiping sighed.
“What did Dr. Wang say to you?” asked Dr. Chen.
“He said his treatment plan this time had three aspects, which included removing toxins, unblocking meridians, and revitalizing muscles,” said Song Ruiping.
“Good, he is on the right track,” said Dr. Chen.
He was able to give a diagnosis of Su Xiaoxue’s condition, but he didn’t have a good way to treat it. The only thing he could do for Su Xiaoxue was acupuncture treatment, which had a limited effect. He didn’t have licorice roots, so he wasn’t able to provide effective treatment to Su Xiaoxue. However, as a Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioner with decades of experience, which Wang Yao couldn’t possess, he could always give an accurate diagnosis.
“I heard the Head Elder, Mr. Guo’s health is deteriorating,” said Dr. Chen suddenly, without any reason.
“Yes, they don’t think he could live to the end of this month,” said Song Ruiping.
“If Wang Yao is willing to treat him, he will probably live for another year,” said Dr. Chen.
“Guo Sirou asked him to treat her grandpa several times. It seems that he was unable to do anything more for the Head Elder,” said Song Ruiping.
Things about those prestige families were never secret. After all, there were too many people watching them, and who wanted to replace them.
“A big tree is going to fall. Without its shelter, how long do you think those people from Guo’s family could hold their positions in the government?” said Dr. Chen.
“Their situation was clear at the moment. Unless something unexpected happens, those people can still hold their positions for the next ten years. But the elder son of Guo’s family probably won’t get a promotion.”
Given Song Ruiping’s social status, she was quite aware of the politics, and knew a lot of what was happening in the government.
When the tree fell, the monkeys would scatter. This was exactly what happened in the political fight.
Some elders could change the outcome of a political fight by living for a few more days.
“Has Dr. Li gone to see the Head Elder?” asked Song Ruiping.
“Yes, but he couldn’t do anything for him either. We have similar experience and skills. If I can’t treat the Head Elder, he won’t be able to treat him, either,” said Dr. Chen with a smile.
“They should know Wang Yao is in Beijing now,” said Song Ruiping.
“Yes, the timing is good,” said Dr. Chen.
Wang Yao was reading a scripture in a low, whispering voice in the cottage.
He had a visitor when it was nearly dark outside.
The visitor was Guo Sirou, who was still quite pretty, but she looked exhausted.
“Hello, Miss Guo, Welcome,” said Wang Yao.
“Hello, Dr. Wang, when did you arrive at Beijing?” asked Guo Sirou.
“Just yesterday,” said Wang Yao.
“Can you please...” said Guo Sirou.
“See your grandpa again?” said Wang Yao directly.
“Yes.” Guo Sirou’s eyes were full of anticipation.
Wang Yao didn’t speak right away. He looked up at the sky.
“It is not good to see a patient at night. I will visit your grandpa tomorrow morning,” said Wang Yao.
“Thank you,” said Guo Sirou, and she left.
Wang Yao continued to look at the sky in the courtyard.
The Head Elder’s life was like dusk; eventually, it would go and the darkness would come. No one could stop it. No one could escape death. Wang Yao had interfered with nature once. He was not going to do it again, even if he had Prolongation pill.
The Prolongation pill would only cause more trouble.
“The sky in Beijing is really not nice!” murmured Wang Yao.
