Jiang Anzhi's face burned with shame, the feeling of being pointed at and gossiped about in public was unbearable.
He continued to dial, but unfortunately, the call wouldn't connect.
Jiang Mengxin shook her head, having no hope for Jiang Anzhi.
At this moment.
Lu Ming stepped forward voluntarily and said, "Let me try."
Oh?
All eyes turned to Lu Ming again.
Jiang Mengxin glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Don't try to be a hero. If even Dr. He can't cure it, how can you, a gravekeeper, possibly do it? I know you know a little, but Grandmother's illness is no trivial matter, we can't let you mess around."
Lu Ming almost burst out laughing.
On one hand, Jiang Mengxin was desperately trying to invite a renowned Chinese physician. On the other hand, she was rejecting Lu Ming.
Little did she know, the renowned Chinese physician Jiang Mengxin so admired was Lu Ming himself!
This was truly a case of blind ignorance.
Helplessly, Lu Ming said, "I'm not trying to treat Grandmother, I just want to help contact the renowned Chinese physician."
Huh?
He could contact them?
No one believed it.
Jiang Mengxin scoffed, "Save it, Lu Ming. When will you ever curb your habit of bragging? The renowned Chinese physician is a young talent, someone everyone wants to curry favor with! They rarely show themselves, how could you possibly contact them?"
The others echoed Lu Ming with disdain.
Lu Ming calmly replied, "I'm good friends with Qiao Ling from Ren Zhi Pharmacy. If I ask her for help, perhaps I can reach them."
Qiao Ling?!
That's possible!
He Liangwei said, "Qiao Ling is the president of the Chinese Medicine Masters Association. She once fought alongside the renowned Chinese physician, they must be in contact. Young man, if you know Dr. Qiao, please help us out."
Lu Ming nodded and dialed Qiao Ling's number in front of everyone.
At this moment.
Jiang Mengxin, standing opposite, felt a burning pain on her face.
There were two reasons.
First, Lu Ming was once again showing off in front of her! Second, Lu Ming was actually acting "flirtatiously" with Qiao Ling in public, cuckolding Jiang Mengxin in front of everyone! How could she tolerate this?
Jiang Mengxin gritted her teeth, her eyes wide and fists clenched, staring intently at Lu Ming.
Soon, Lu Ming finished his call with Qiao Ling.
He said, "Qiao Ling does have the renowned Chinese physician's phone number, but it's not convenient to disclose it. She said she can send her the diagnosis of Grandmother's condition, and she will then forward it to the renowned Chinese physician, who will then provide a specific treatment plan."
He Liangwei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'll prepare the diagnosis right away."
Before long, He Liangwei had finished writing the diagnosis and sent it to Lu Ming's email. Lu Ming would then send it to Qiao Ling, who would forward it to the renowned Chinese physician.
In reality, all of this was just a show.
Lu Ming was the renowned Chinese physician, and he was present. What diagnosis was needed? He could see it himself!
All this was done to appease the emotions of the crowd.
After a short wait, a reply was received in the email.
In fact, this reply was written by Lu Ming beforehand and sent to Qiao Ling, who then sent it back to him at this moment. The purpose was to make everyone believe it was a treatment plan from the renowned Chinese physician.
It took a few detours, but it put people's minds at ease.
"The renowned Chinese physician's treatment plan is here," Lu Ming handed the plan to He Liangwei.
At this moment, Jiang Yang couldn't resist retaliating and said, "Dr. He, you must look carefully. Is this truly a treatment plan from the renowned Chinese physician? It's not just some plan conjured up by a charlatan someone found to show off, is it?"
He Liangwei took the phone and examined it closely.
After reading it, he was overjoyed, "This plan is truly brilliant, incredibly so! As expected of the renowned Chinese physician. The incredibly complex Mandragora poison, with his reminder, can be easily treated."
From He Liangwei's words, it was clear that this plan was indeed genuine.
This, naturally, displeased some members of the Jiang family.
Jiang Mengxin was very annoyed.
She had originally hoped to meet the renowned Chinese physician by chance using her grandmother's poisoning as an opportunity, and to leave a good impression on him.
But in the end, she didn't even see the person!
And she let that scoundrel Lu Ming show off.
She was truly displeased.
Even more infuriated was Jiang Yang. His Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus had been outdone by Lu Ming's thousand-year-old ginseng, and to make matters worse, his Snow Lotus was fake, it was Mandragora!
Jiang Yang had poisoned Old Madam Cao.
And yet, it was Lu Ming who found the treatment plan and helped Old Madam Cao detoxify.
What was going on?
How would Old Madam Cao view Jiang Yang after this?
The thought alone made him angry!
Only Jiang Lan looked at Lu Ming with relief, her eyes filled with affection; the facts proved that whatever Lu Ming said would come true.
It was right to believe Lu Ming without question.
However, when Lu Ming was on the phone with Qiao Ling just now, there seemed to be a hint of flirtatiousness, which made Jiang Lan feel a little jealous.
"As expected, a good man will always find admirers wherever he goes."
It seemed that in this world, only Jiang Mengxin, his fiancée, was indifferent to Lu Ming, while other women were eagerly anticipating him, lusting after him.
It was both pathetic and laughable.
Following this, with He Liangwei's exquisite medication, the toxins in Cao Chunhui's body were cleared.
She awoke.
Jiang Yang immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Grandmother, I'm sorry, your grandson was wrong! Grandmother, hit me, scold me, it's all the same, your grandson accepts it all!"
Surprisingly.
Cao Chunhui waved her hand and did not blame Jiang Yang.
She said, "Ignorance is no excuse. Little Yang, you meant well, you wanted to please your grandmother, but you were deceived by some unscrupulous merchants. In fact, you are also a victim. How can Grandmother blame you? Grandmother is not an unreasonable person."
Hearing this, everyone was somewhat moved.
They didn't expect the usually strict Cao Chunhui to be so reasonable and not punish Jiang Yang.
Actually... they were all wrong.
Cao Chunhui wasn't discerning right from wrong; she was simply being protective of her own kin.
Because her subsequent actions fully exposed her unreasonable nature!
Behold.
Cao Chunhui's eyes fixed on Lu Ming, and she said in a cold tone, "Lu Ming, I want to ask you a few things."
Lu Ming replied, "Grandmother, please ask."
Cao Chunhui's tone was unkind, "Lu Ming, you realized from the very beginning that it wasn't Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, but Mandragora, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"Hmm." Cao Chunhui then asked, "You also knew that Mandragora is poisonous, and I would die if I ate it, didn't you?"
"Yes."
Saying this, Cao Chunhui stood up.
Suddenly.
She picked up the gift box beside her and hurled it fiercely at Lu Ming, shouting furiously, "You knew it was Mandragora, you knew Mandragora was poisonous, you knew I would die if I ate it, so why did you do nothing, and just watch me drink that bowl of poisonous soup? Lu Ming, what are your intentions? Do you want me to die so badly?!"
This...
Lu Ming stood stunned on the spot.
He allowed the box to hit him without moving.
What excuse is not sufficient for a charge?
Lu Ming felt both amused and exasperated. Jiang Yang sent the poison, and instead of punishing Jiang Yang, Old Madam Cao turned around and punished him, her benefactor who found the treatment plan?
What kind of logic was that?
It could only be blamed on Lu Ming not being a member of the Jiang family, not being Cao Chunhui's beloved grandson.
Lu Ming carried an original sin.
