Several members of the Jiang Family questioned Mu Jinyu, and the anticipation initially stirred by Mei Yinxue gradually plummeted.
"Who is the master?"
They hadn't heard of him, nor knew whether he was just some Barefoot Doctor.
"Which medical college did you graduate from?"
He hadn't attended school at all?!
"Do you have a medical practice license?"
No?!
God, such a doctor with no credentials, no matter if Mei Yinxue brought him, even if Old Master Jiang himself called for him, as children of the old master, they would absolutely not allow him to mess around with their father!
Right, bringing in a doctor with no credentials to treat someone, wasn't that just reckless?!
Initially, they had thought Mei Yinxue was quite reliable, and the Divine Doctor she would bring should also be among the few renowned Divine Doctors in the country.
That's why, after receiving a phone call from Mei Yinxue, they rushed downstairs to greet the Divine Doctor she had found, even though there were doctors upstairs examining their father at the time.
But after meeting him, they realized the situation was not as simple as they had thought; they could let that go, but with each question they asked, their hearts grew colder than before.
Damn it, this Mu Jinyu, this greenhorn, knew nothing; what kind of sham Divine Doctor was this?!
Was Mei Yinxue thinking their situation wasn't urgent enough and decided to add fuel to the fire?
Jiang Yuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, no longer looking at Mu Jinyu, he said to Mei Yinxue, "Little Xue, it's not that Uncle Yuan doesn't want to give you face, but this 'Divine Doctor' you've brought... I dare not gamble... "
Mei Yinxue had been prepared, knowing they wouldn't let someone casually treat Old Master Jiang due to their cautious disposition. She quickly said, "Uncle Yuan, I really didn't lie to you. You can let him try. I can vouch for him with my life. If anything happens to Old Master Jiang, I will pay with my life!"
Hearing Mei Yinxue say this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but be moved.
If he were the one who was sick, he guessed he would definitely let Mu Jinyu take action right now, but...
The one who was sick, whose life was at stake, was his father, the Head of the Jiang Family...
He couldn't just act rashly.
Jiang Yuan let out a light sigh, shook his head, and said, "Hearing you say this, I know this young man must have some skills, but as an uncredentialed doctor, my father's life is too precious for me to take the risk and entrust his treatment to him..."
Pausing briefly, Jiang Yuan glanced at Mu Jinyu, who had a solemn expression, and, without concern that he was present, continued, "So, we should wait until those renowned doctors are out of options before letting him take a shot..."
His words were clear, unless they were out of options, he didn't dare let a doctor like Mu Jinyu, with no credentials, treat Old Master Jiang!
Seeing Jiang Yuan so resolute, Mei Yinxue's face also lost color, and she couldn't help but remind him again, "But Uncle Yuan, you should be aware that Divine Doctors usually don't have a good temper. If it weren't for the small favor I did for him yesterday, whether he would even come today would be in question, right?"
As she spoke, she gave Mu Jinyu, whose face was gradually calming, an apologetic look and continued, "Do you think he has nothing else to do? That he could just loiter around you all day? You think you can just leave him hanging and then, when you're out of options, graciously give him a chance to try?"
After a pause, Mei Yinxue's voice suddenly rose an octave and she exclaimed, "He's a busy man! He came today because he owes me a favor and specifically put aside his work to make the trip. If you let him go today, I guarantee you won't be able to get him back, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. I, Mei Yinxue, stake my life on this guarantee!"
Mei Yinxue's attitude was sharp, and the faces of the Jiang Family members couldn't help but show concern but, unfortunately, they still couldn't dare to gamble with Old Master Jiang's life because of her words.
Therefore, Jiang Yuan sighed and said, "Little Xue, you sit with the young divine doctor for a while. We'll go upstairs to see how Doctor Shen's examination of Old Master Jiang is going."
After speaking, they ignored Mei Yinxue's cries and hurriedly ran upstairs.
Their attitude had given the answer, they wouldn't joke about Old Master Jiang's health.
Seeing this, Mei Yinxue also let out a dispirited sigh, plopped down on the sofa beside her, turned her head to look at the calm Mu Jinyu, and said with a weary face, "Sorry, I assumed too much..."
"It's nothing..." Mu Jinyu shook her head calmly and said with a faint smile, "I can understand their feelings."
Pausing for a moment, Mu Jinyu smiled and said, "No matter how cultivated a person is, when their own relative faces a life-threatening situation, and they meet a doctor who is neither a medical school graduate nor taught by a famous physician, and who doesn't even have a license to practice medicine, but instead relies on self-taught skills, I reckon there are few who would dare to take the gamble!"
With a self-deprecating laugh, Mu Jinyu said, "If the person in danger were not their relative, then they might have stayed back as spectators to see if this self-proclaimed divine doctor really has what it takes..."
"But how could they dare to gamble when it's their loved ones' safety on the line?!"
Mu Jinyu shook her head and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't dare to gamble either!"
After speaking, Mu Jinyu looked at Mei Yinxue, whose expression grew increasingly guilty, and said, "Thank you for your trust."
Just now, Mei Yinxue had repeatedly staked her own life as a guarantee during her conversation with Jiang Yuan.
This kind of trust that was willing to risk one's life was extremely rare.
Mu Jinyu had not expected that Mei Yinxue, whom she had only interacted with a few times, would trust her so much.
Although she hadn't known Mei Yinxue for long, Mu Jinyu understood that she was a strong woman who would not admit defeat to men, a person whose word was as good as gold.
If she couldn't revive Old Master Jiang from his withered state, Mei Yinxue would probably really lose her life over it!
So, she felt touched by Mei Yinxue's trust.
When Mei Yinxue heard Mu Jinyu's words, she gave a bitter smile and said, "Because I believe you won't let me down, but they... they have disappointed me..."
Mu Jinyu walked over and sat beside her, saying calmly, "I once promised you that I would tolerate them a few times, so I'll give them half a day. If after twelve noon they still don't let me take action, don't blame me, I will leave and won't come back again."
Mei Yinxue shook her head and said, "If that's the case, how could I blame you?"
The two of them chatted for a while.
At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs again.
Along with the Jiang family members talking to someone.
"Doctor Shen, you can't do anything either? Still can't figure out what exactly is wrong with my father?"
Jiang Yuan said anxiously.
A female voice that sounded somewhat familiar then apologetically said:
"Sorry, my medical skills are limited, I really can't see what's wrong. However, my grandfather, he just encountered a true divine doctor the day before yesterday, his medical skills have improved, he has reached a state of enlightenment, and he should have a certain degree of confidence in curing Old Master Jiang."
