Chapter 97 Sharpening the Knife and Boiling the Dates
A short while later,
Yan Mingyu, with her bag slung over her shoulder, walked out of the company's main entrance.
In her CEO office, there was a separate resting room, dressing room, bathroom, fully equipped, much like a mini home.
She seemed to have taken a shower as well, for she had changed into a white chiffon blouse, black trousers, and her long black hair flowed smoothly over her shoulders.
She exuded an air of noble grace and dignified elegance.
Once she sat in the back seat, she sent a location to Qin Yu's phone, "This is Xiaoxiao's hospital's address."
"Got it!"
Qin Yu tapped his phone a few times, set up the navigation, and then focused on driving.
"By the way, do you know... my husband?"
Yan Mingyu asked, biting her lip.
"We trained together during our military service, and afterwards, we just contacted each other occasionally on the phone!"
Qin Yu said in a deliberately nonchalant tone.
"What... What's he like?"
Yan Mingyu thought for a moment before asking.
"A bit shy, not much of a talker, pretty tall, and, I heard, he's still doing delivery work!"
What Qin Yu described was "himself" from a year ago.
"And what about in matters of the heart? Is he a playboy?"
Yan Mingyu continued to inquire.
"Heh... How would I know. But, he should be quite faithful, I guess!"
Qin Yu said with a wry smile.
"Alright, never mind then!"
Yan Mingyu didn't say anything more and took out her phone to swipe through it.
About half an hour later, the navigation announced their arrival at the destination.
In front of Qin Yu appeared a small, private hospital.
He heard it was opened by Liu Xiaoxiao herself, who was considered quite capable among women.
"I need to handle some things, you go up and call Xiaoxiao, her office is on the second floor!"
Yan Mingyu glanced outside the window and said.
"Okay!"
After parking the car, Qin Yu entered the hospital's main gate. There were quite a few patients inside, indicating that people had a good level of trust in Liu Xiaoxiao's hospital.
If he wasn't acquainted with Liu Xiaoxiao, it would indeed be difficult to associate the sexy and flamboyant her with the strict and rigid profession of a doctor.
Arriving on the second floor, there was a room with "Director's Office" on the door. Qin Yu approached and knocked.
"Come in!"
A pleasant voice came from inside.
Creak...
Holy shit!
Just as Qin Yu opened the door, he saw Liu Xiaoxiao wearing a spotless white coat, unbuttoning it.
She had undone about half of it, leaving the upper half of her body almost completely exposed, revealing a patterned bra and the tempting whiteness beneath, which would make any man's blood rush.
"Sorry!"
Qin Yu quickly closed the door and stepped out of the office.
His heart was pounding a bit; though there were many women with good figures on the streets, some were enhanced by padding.
But Liu Xiaoxiao's assets were all real...
ABCD...??
Qin Yu felt it exceeded his comprehension, his brain CPU almost overheated.
After a little while, the door of the office was opened again.
Liu Xiaoxiao had changed into a white T-shirt matched with a black mini-skirt, revealing a pair of pale beautiful legs. She winked at Qin Yu, "Was it you knocking? I thought it was Mingyu!"
"Heh... Ms. Yan is dealing with some stuff in the car!"
Qin Yu scratched his head and gave an awkward smile.
"Then let's go!"
Liu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to mind and walked downstairs with Qin Yu.
However, just as they reached the lobby downstairs, they saw a middle-aged woman with a sallow complexion arguing with a doctor in a white coat, visibly agitated, "What kind of hospital is this, you can't even cure insomnia. If you don't give me a bottle of sleeping pills today so I can finally get a good night's sleep, I'll just kill myself right here!"
"Sister, there are legal regulations, we can't just prescribe sleeping pills willy-nilly!"
The doctor said, caught between laughter and tears.
"Well... fine... I'll die for you to see!"
The middle-aged woman said she was going to hit the wall, scaring the doctor, who quickly signaled two nurses. One on each side, they embraced her: "Sister, stay calm. Your insomnia doesn't necessarily need sleeping pills; our doctors will find a solution!"
"What solution can he think of? I've been coming here for half a month with no improvement. I think your hospital just wants to swindle my money!"
The middle-aged woman continued to rant.
"Sister, this is psychological. It requires long-term medication. If you think our doctors aren't skilled, you could try another hospital!"
Obviously, Liu Xiaoxiao recognized the middle-aged woman, so she walked over and said somewhat helplessly.
"You're the one with psychological issues! I just have insomnia, and you can't even cure that, yet you still dare to run a hospital!"
The middle-aged woman shouted ferociously at Liu Xiaoxiao.
"Alright, alright... it's our medical skills that are lacking!"
Liu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to argue with the middle-aged woman, fearing it would only make her more agitated.
"You're the director. If you don't give me a bottle of sleeping pills today, don't you dare go anywhere!"
The middle-aged woman grabbed Liu Xiaoxiao by the arm. Her eyes were sunken and filled with bloodshot streaks, making her look somewhat frightening. Find adventures at empire
"Miss Liu, what's going on with her?"
Qin Yu whispered from behind Liu Xiaoxiao.
Mingyu was still waiting in the car. How could it work with Liu Xiaoxiao being held up by the middle-aged woman?
"She suffers from chronic insomnia and has been to the hospital many times. Every time she gets a little better but reverts back by the next visit!"
Liu Xiaoxiao also whispered.
"Oh, then let me have a look at her!"
Qin Yu said.
"You... have you studied medicine?"
Liu Xiaoxiao glanced sideways at Qin Yu and asked.
"My grandfather was a barefoot doctor; I know a little bit!"
Qin Yu said modestly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Go ahead, then! Try your luck!"
Liu Xiaoxiao was out of options and had to clutch at straws.
"Sister, let's go inside. I'll check on you. Insomnia isn't such a big issue; it should be easy to fix!"
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he looked at the hospital doctor: "Prepare a set of Silver Needle and rubbing alcohol for me!"
"Okay!"
The doctor, seeing that Qin Yu seemed to have a good relationship with Liu Xiaoxiao, didn't say much.
Subsequently, Qin Yu had the nurses take the middle-aged woman into the doctor's office next door.
Liu Xiaoxiao followed them in, curious to see how Qin Yu would cure the woman's insomnia.
"Sister, apart from you, who else is in your family?"
After seating the middle-aged woman, Qin Yu stood behind her, pressing on a point on the top of her head, while he asked.
"I have a husband who is a drunkard; he hits me when he's drunk. I also have a son who works out of town. He hasn't been home for many years!"
The middle-aged woman said.
"Oh, I'm going to let you sleep for a while. Then, when you go home, buy two pounds of jujube. Boil two at a time with knife-sharpening water and drink it. You'll see results in a week!"
Qin Yu said confidently.
"Knife-sharpening water? Is there a specific knife I should use?"
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but ask.
"No specifics, but use a kitchen knife. You definitely have one at home; saves you buying a new one!"
Qin Yu replied.
"And what about the time? Is that important?"
The middle-aged woman asked again.
"After dinner, before dawn; any time works!"
Qin Yu replied.
"Alright, I've got it!"
The middle-aged woman nodded.
At that moment, the doctor brought over the Silver Needle and rubbing alcohol. Qin Yu took two needles and after disinfecting them, started to prick the top of the middle-aged woman's head.
"Heh... hoo..."
No more than thirty seconds later, the middle-aged woman closed her eyes and began to snore gently.
"Damn... you're really something!"
Liu Xiaoxiao gave a thumbs up, her eyes wide with awe: "How did you achieve that? Teach me!"
