Chapter 827: Chapter 827
Fang Yun and Ghost Hand, both trained by Fang Bai himself, had reached considerable strength levels—the former at the early stages of the Profound Level and the latter at Profound Level Perfection. They were not to be underestimated.
The Lightning Mink, on the other hand, had ascended to a realm equivalent to that of a Heaven Level Martial Artist, thanks to its unique advantages and the cultivation resources left by Fang Bai.
With these two and one beast safeguarding Fang’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, security was assured.
Yang Mei had only exchanged a few words with her son before getting busy collecting money again. Fang Gang had no time to chat with his son, and Ghost Hand and Zhou Dabai, although they had seen Fang Bai, were also tied up with their own matters and couldn’t break away.
"Mom, where’s sister?"
Fang Bai looked around and didn’t see his sister, Fang Yun, helping out in the clinic, which he found odd, so he approached his mother to ask.
After graduating, Fang Yun had been helping their parents with the family business because they needed more hands at the clinic. She had become something of an administrator for the Fang Family.
Upon hearing her son inquire about her daughter, Yang Mei’s expression suddenly became a bit strange.
"What happened to my sister?"
Fang Bai saw his mother hesitate to speak, which made him even more curious.
Yang Mei sighed and said, "Your sister has recently started dating a boyfriend..."
"Really? That’s great! My sister is already in her twenties, it’s perfectly normal for her to have a boyfriend."
Fang Bai asked with a smile, "Who is my sister’s boyfriend?"
Yang Mei hesitated for a moment before saying, "It’s Hua Yi from Rejuvenation Hall."
Upon hearing the name "Hua Yi," Fang Bai was taken aback, not expecting his sister to have started dating him.
Initially, Fang Bai did not have a good impression of Hua Yi, finding him arrogant, relying on his family background and some medical knowledge. However, after Fang Bai had dealt with him once and the Hua Family Patriarch, Hua Chun, had also disciplined him, Hua Yi started to behave much more humbly and treated Fang Bai with increasing respect, showing signs of turning over a new leaf.
"During the period when you weren’t home, Hua Chun, the Hua Family Patriarch, often brought Hua Yi to our clinic for visits and consultations, exchanging medical expertise with your dad and Ghost Hand. Through these interactions, your sister took a liking to Hua Yi... Son, what do you think of Hua Yi? Do you think he’s a good match for your sister?"
Fang Bai thought although Hua Yi had flaws in the past, he had improved a lot since then, and as a Martial Artist of Rejuvenation Hall, one of the branches of the Ancient Medicine Sect in Huaxia, their families were well-matched. Therefore, he said, "Nothing else matters; what’s important is that sister likes him!"
Yang Mei sighed, glanced at Ghost Hand, who was busily working, and said, "Actually, I find Ghost Hand a good kid, loyal and reliable, and handsome too. He and your sister would be a good match. I tried to set them up a while ago, but, unfortunately, they didn’t click with each other..."
Fang Bai laughed and said, "Mom, you can’t force matters of the heart. If they don’t have that spark, then let it be! Later, I’ll invite Hua Yi over and have a good talk with him about him and sister’s relationship. If he ever dares to mistreat my sister, I won’t let him off!"
Speaking of which, thinking of Hua Yi’s abilities, it seemed he was destined to be suppressed by his sister; should he dare to treat her poorly, his sister could personally take care of him. There was no need for Fang Bai to intervene.
"What about Dabai? How is he doing working with us?"
Fang Bai’s gaze shifted to Zhou Dabai and he asked.
Fang Bai had always been deeply concerned about his loyal classmate and had even instructed Ghost Hand to take time to teach him some medical skills when free. How much Zhou could learn depended on his own fate.
Zhou Dabai looked thinner than before, and with his tall stature clad in a white coat, he seemed rather tall and handsome.
"Dabai is eloquent and clever, and he is willing to learn with humility. His medical skills have improved a lot, much stronger than your dad’s now! In our traditional Chinese medicine clinic, it’s mainly the two of them holding consultations. Both have earned the title ’Little Divine Doctor’ among the patients."
Yang Mei’s face lit up with smiles when she spoke of Ghost Hand and Zhou Dabai, clearly fond of the two from the bottom of her heart.
The most crucial thing was that both Ghost Hand and Zhou Dabai admired and respected Fang Bai to the core. Fang Bai’s words to them were akin to imperial edicts.
Fang Bai nodded. The original owner of the body he occupied had been through thick and thin with Zhou Dabai, who had defended Fang Bai against mockery and insults at school, and had even blocked punches for him. Now, Fang Bai had also given a lot back in return.
Fang Bai still remembered he had promised Zhou Dabai a luxury car worth tens of millions. Fang Bai had given Zhou a billion last time, but he wasn’t sure if Zhou had bought the luxury car. If not, he would take him to the car market one day to buy one.
While others feared not having enough money to spend, Fang Bai had so much money he didn’t know how to spend it all.
As to exactly how much money Fang Bai had, he had never calculated precisely. However, he knew that the vast majority of people in this world could spend their entire lives in poverty and still not earn as much as he had.
Fang Bai was eager to share the extent of his wealth with his parents, so they wouldn’t need to exert themselves running the clinic and could instead enjoy life. Yet, he feared that revealing it suddenly might startle them, so after some thought, he decided to let it be and wait for a better opportunity in the future.
"Mom, money is endless! You and Dad don’t have to work so hard. You should rest when it’s time to rest, and put your health first! Besides, I have enough money now to ensure our family can live comfortably..."
Fang Bai ended up mentioning it casually after all.
However, Yang Mei said, "Your dad and I have been through hard times and are afraid of being poor again. While we are still young, it’s best to earn more! Soon, you and your sister will be getting married, buying houses, having children; all these things require money. Go on, you should go back to your room and rest. Once your dad and I get through this busy period, we’ll come talk to you!"
"I’m not tired... I’ll go help Ghost Hand and Zhou Dabai..."
Saying so, Fang Bai moved a table next to Ghost Hand and Zhou Dabai and started helping them diagnose and treat patients.
By around ten o’clock in the evening, the patient traffic at the clinic had finally died down. Fang Gang, Yang Mei, Fang Bai, Ghost Hand, and Zhou Dabai breathed a sigh of relief and began to rest, leaving other physicians on duty to attend to the patients.
Fang Yun also returned to the clinic at this time, accompanied by Hua Yi.
Ever since Fang Yun and Hua Yi confirmed their romantic relationship, their affection had heated up quickly, and they almost went out on dates every night. Today, they had gone to see a movie, which was why they returned so late.
After learning about some of Fang Bai’s exploits in Yanjing from Hua Tianhe, Hua Yi was now both respectful and wary of Fang Bai. Seeing him in the clinic, Hua Yi hesitated and mumbled, not daring to enter. In the end, it was Fang Yun who pulled him inside.
