The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman – Chapter 131 – Out Sprang An Older Brother (冒出来的哥哥)
Jing Yunzhao could also sense Old Grandpa Tang's doubt, but with her young age, it was simply impossible to just rely on a few pleasant words to dispel his doubt. She thought about it and simply asked, "Tang Zihua, can I take a look at your medicine?"
Tang Zihua also wanted to know whether or not Jing Yunzhao really had the skills, so as soon as she asked, he immediately passed the small bottle of medicine to her.
The porcelain bottle was white and cool to the touch, with a bit of an ancient style to it. Opening it to take a sniff, a hint of confidence brushed across her face.
“Ephedra, black monkshood(aka aconite aka wolfsbane), liquorice, atractylode…” Jing Yunzhao unexpectedly listed out nearly 10 herbs the moment she opened her mouth.
The size of the pill was not very big, but it was very meticulously made. A lot of thought and effort must have been put into it. Albeit this method of nourishment was not as effective as the one recorded in her spirit jade, it was still a unique life-saving prescription. This proved that the doctor was skilled.
Once Jing Yunzhao fell silent, Old Grandpa Tang truly became excited.
Only he and his grandson knew the details to the life-saving prescription. Even so, his grandson could only remember roughly two or three of the ingredients, but Jing Yunzhao unexpectedly got the analysis correct down to each and every ingredient by only relying on her sense of smell!
Old Grandpa Tang naturally was unaware that Jing Yunzhao spent a lot of time in her space. How could she not remember the smell of the herbs grown inside? Besides, the jade also mentioned this prescription. As long as she thought about it and made a quick guess, it would not be too difficult.
"Little girl, no, Miss Jing. If you can help Zihua, then I can agree to any request!" Old Grandpa Tang said hurriedly.
His family fortune would never be more important than his grandson!
"I'll need some time…" Jing Yunzhao reminded.
"Time is not a problem!" Old Grandpa Tang immediately agreed, and added, "How about we do it like this. You're in Yizhong High right? I'll bring Zihua home today, at most two days later, you'll replace the current doctor in giving him treatment. I'll pay you the treatment fees in one lump sum then. If you can truly cure Zihua, in the future, your business would be the Tang family's business. We can't thank you enough!"
Jing Yunzhao never thought that this old man would be so generous. However, she never expected anything from the Tang family.
The more than 3 million yuan from earlier was considered a fair transaction, and saving lives could be considered both her profession and interest. At most, she would accept some consultation fees. It would not be fair if she were to dictate this family for a lifetime just because she saved someone, and besides, the treatment had not even begun!
Jing Yunzhao knew it was useless to evade Old Grandpa Tang now, and there wasn't much to say anymore.
The meal was decent. Jing Yunzhao took the chance to thoroughly understand Tang Zihua's condition, then left the private room, prepared to part ways.
Once downstairs, she spotted Li Shaoyun.
Jing Yunzhao was, of course, unaware that Li Shaoyun especially come out to see her. This was his territory. When Jing Yunzhao came, naturally there was someone who informed him. Recalling Jing Yunzhao's previous politeness, Li Shaoyun also did not want to take the next step forward, but after listening to the staff saying that other than an old man, she was also eating with a young student, he became a little unhappy.
This girl was still young, it would be difficult for her to avoid being played by these little boys clad in gold and silver.
No, he would be benevolent by covering her eyes.
Li Shaoyun's eyes swept over the Tang Zihua. At a glance, he could see that the little boy didn't look too bad, his face was was also a little flushed. Frowning, he waited for Jing Yunzhao to take the last step down before he pulled her to his side.
Smiling at the old man, he introduced himself: “Hello to you two, I am Yunzhao's ‘older brother'. You two are…”

The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman – Chapter 132 – Getting Intimate (靠近乎)
Li Shaoyun had originally wanted her to call him Uncle, there was a certain dignity behind being a generation older after all. Yet he also understood Jing Yunzhao's character. So as to avoid making her unhappy, he changed his mind at the last minute.
He also knew Old Man Xu, and he had even entrusted him to take care of Jing Yunzhao in his place. Considering the fact that he was only older than her by eight to nine years, it wasn't too excessive for him to be considered an older brother.
Li Shaoyun felt that it was as it should be, but Jing Yunzhao immediately stared at him in confusion.
Old Grandpa Tang was also a tad muddled. Didn't this lass say that she didn't have a family before?
"Jing girly actually still has an older brother? Then I must really apologise. This lass and I can be considered friends across the years. To be gathered here today, there actually isn't much going on." He couldn't very well say that he was here to buy the jar right? What if he continued asking about the price? It would definitely attract problems for the lassy. He also couldn't say that this lass was here to treat his grandson's illness. After all, no one was sure whether this older brother who suddenly popped out of nowhere was a close or distant relative.
Li Shaoyun's eyes squinted. "This is…"
The target of his gaze was naturally Tang Zihua.
Tang Zihua was still a young man. It was unavoidable for him to be shocked by Li Shaoyun's appearance just now. His face suddenly flushed, while Old Grandpa Tang's expression remained unchanged as he laughed. "This is my grandson, and also Jing girly's schoolmate."
Li Shaoyun's lips curled. Her schoolmate?
Unlikely.
But even without them saying, he could still make a rough guess.
This little boy was wearing the current hottest brand of clothing in Ning City. The e-watch he was wearing on his wrist might look simple, but one couldn't buy it without at least tens of thousands of yuan. Additionally, this calm and composed old man was dressed with great panache. His identity was definitely not simple. Last but not least, he had looked up that car of his…
In conclusion, saying that they were schoolmates or whatever, it was all a lie.
Li Shaoyun raised an eyebrow, exchanged a few more conventional greetings, and took the initiative to send the two away. From the beginning till the end, he behaved as if he was very familiar with Jing Yunzhao.
Jing Yunzhao currently only had one word dominating her mind: Weird.
"These two must have been from some large family from Ning City?" just as the car left their sights, Li Shaoyun suddenly asked. Afterwards, he took the opportunity to move closer to Jing Yunzhao and took a whiff, and continued, "You sat pretty close with that kid just now?"
She had the stench of a pill-popper around her.
There was also the scent of medicine on her before, but it was more light and refreshing; Smelling it made him feel comfortable. This time, however, even though there wasn't much difference, but it was similar to the scent on the boy from just now.
Jing Yunzhao was struck dumb. "You can even smell that?"
His sense of smell really defied the heavens.
Li Shaoyun gave a little 'hmph' with pride as he answered, " While I may not understand the art of healing, but I can still tell that male 'schoolmate' of yours is a sickly ghost. Everything looks fine on the surface, but his gaze is exhausted and spiritless, his lips are too pale, his skin also lacks vitality. Then looking at the old man's protective behaviour, I can also guess that his illness is definitely not minor/light; He practically already has one foot in his grave. In addition, their family circumstances don't look too bad. But as you are right now, it'd be better if you don't get too close to them."
(T/N: bc Cosmic says I should, sickly ghost doesn't mean literally a ghost, just someone who's always sick and not with something minor like a cold or smth)
This girl actually didn't have many schemes.
He could obviously tell that the other party didn't really have any malicious intent against Jing Yunzhao. He didn't have any this time, yes, but what about the next?
With this kind of relationship, if she was lucky, it would be helpful for her. If she wasn't and meet someone with bad morals and was casually plotted against behind her back, she would lose both her life and riches. There would be no way of turning back then.
Originally, Jing Yunzhao was quite unhappy that he was bothering her about her own matters. But although he looked like someone who was both arrogant and quick-tempered, all of his words were simple with a deep meaning behind them, as if he was going out of his way to remind her to, not one to haggle over every ounce.
"I can try to treat his illness. It would also be a pity if something happened to someone as young as him," Jing Yunzhao politely replied.
Li Shaoyun gave her a side glance, speaking obscurely, "I sneezed this morning. Help me take a look at it, in case it turns serious enough that I'll die young."
Lol this chapter is basically a reminder of their age difference and our ML getting jealous and protective XD
