The next day.
Zhou Chen carried a snakeskin bag and took a taxi to Cai's house.
The snakeskin bag contained prepared Chinese medicine, which grandpa asked him to bring to Cai Yameng's grandpa.
Cai Yameng stood in front of the gate. When she saw Zhou Chen arriving, she went to greet him.
While in the car, Zhou Chen sent a message to Cai Yameng, telling him that he would come to visit Mr. Cai today.
Cai Yameng did not look down on the Chinese medicines because they were packed in snakeskin bags.
In fact, she had heard her grandfather talk about it since she was a child. Grandpa Zhou Chen had extremely good medical skills and was a hidden master.
So she also told her father to ask him to visit Zhou Chen's grandfather and find a way to cure the cancer.
But Cai Yameng's father felt that he was in the wrong and had no face to face Mr. Zhou.
Moreover, he also believes that even world-renowned cancer experts cannot cure it, and even if Chinese medicine has ways to recuperate it, it cannot cure it.
Rather than going to Zhou's house and being looked at in a different light, it's better not to go.
It takes several minutes to walk from the gate to Mr. Cai's residence.
On the way, Cai Yameng looked back at Zhou Chen from time to time, always feeling that Zhou Chen's temperament had changed and he was becoming more confident.
As an ordinary person, facing a luxurious manor like the Cai family without changing his expression is enough to show how extraordinary Zhou Chen is.
Unlike what Zhou Chen thought, Mr. Cai's residence was an old house with a sense of age.
There were armed guards guarding the door.
After confirming that there were no dangerous items on Zhou Chen's body or in the snakeskin bag, he let Zhou Chen in.
"Grandpa, Zhou Chen is here."
This is an old man with sparse hair. He looks to be in his nineties, and his body exudes a sense of decay.
However, his eyes are sharp and lively. As a soldier, even though his body has become decayed, his heroic spirit will never fade away.
Zhou Chen cupped his hands and said, "Grandpa Cai, I am Zhou Guangxi's grandson. Today, I was entrusted by grandpa to deliver you Chinese medicine to recuperate your body."
A smile appeared on Cai Zhongying's wrinkled face: "It turns out that he is the grandson of brother Guangxi. He looks very much like him when he was young. No wonder we felt a sense of intimacy as soon as we met."
The security guard next to Cai Zhongying couldn't help but glance at Zhou Chen a few more times.
I have been taking care of this old man for many years, and this is the first time I have seen Cai Zhongying feel cordial to a young man.
Most of the evaluations of the rich second generation are flashy;
Evaluations of the second generation of officials are basically hypocritical and insidious;
The evaluation of the second generation of military personnel is better, but their attitudes are harsher.
This young man looked very ordinary in his clothes. As soon as they met, Mr. Cai actually said that he felt friendly and wanted to take the initiative to build a closer relationship with him.
Zhou Chen naturally has a respectful attitude towards the predecessors and martyrs who protected the country and the people.
"I am here this time to say hello to you on behalf of grandpa. I was also asked by grandpa to take your pulse and see how you have been doing in recent years."
Cai Zhongying nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Guangxi has someone to succeed him. It seems that your medical skills are better than your father's."
As he spoke, Cai Zhongying stretched out his wrist.
The guard hesitated and put his hands on the back of his waist.
This is the preparation to draw a gun and shoot if something goes wrong.
Cai Zhongying waved his other hand to signal the guards not to do these actions, which would chill Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chenbu pointed his finger and placed it on Cai Zhongying's wrist.
After a few clicks on it, the three parts of Guan, Cun and Chi were determined, corresponding to the index finger, middle finger and ring finger respectively.
After checking the pulse with both hands, Zhou Chen nodded slightly, indicating that it was OK.
Tsai Chung-ying’s situation is clear to everyone.
Cai Zhongying was a little nervous. Although he was not afraid of death, the day he lived longer would make the Cai family stronger.
"Xiaochen, how are you? How long can I live with this old bone?"
Zhou Chen shook his head: "Taking your pulse can only tell you your current physical condition, but not how much life you have left."
"Your physical condition is okay, but you have multiple hidden injuries, one of which is located in your liver, which affects your body's detoxification function."
"Have you been weak, tired, lethargic, and have no appetite for meals recently? Are you feeling nauseous and want to vomit when you see greasy things?"
Cai Zhongying couldn't help but his eyes lit up, Zhou Chen was right.
"Yes, yes, my appetite has been so bad recently. I no longer have the appetite for the braised lion's head that I used to like the most."
"When I was fighting with the Japanese kid, I was shot in the liver. Fortunately, I was rescued in time, otherwise this old bone would have been left on the battlefield at that time." Cai Zhongying sighed with some regret, recalling the dangerous scene.
Then, Cai Zhongying asked: "Is there a way to cure the hidden wounds? Grandpa Cai is not greedy for life and afraid of death. It is really not easy to enjoy peace and happiness. He suffers when he has no appetite for food."
Looking at Cai Zhongying's hopeful eyes like a child, Zhou Chen smiled slightly.
"It's okay. Grandpa knows your physical condition, so among the Chinese medicines I asked you to bring this time, there are those specially designed to warm and nourish the liver."
"But in the past two months, I still try not to eat greasy and spicy food, so as not to increase the burden on the liver."
"After your liver is well nourished, not only will you have a good appetite, but you will also be able to eat whatever you want."
Cai Zhongying repeatedly assured: "That's right, I will definitely avoid eating it. The key is that even if I want to eat it now, I don't have the appetite!"
Cai Yameng felt unbelievable when she saw Zhou Chen acting like a little miracle doctor and making his grandfather as obedient as a primary school boy.
Is this really the high school classmate I have been with for three years?
Why didn’t I know that he could also take pulses and treat illnesses?
For a moment, Zhou Chen added a mysterious filter in Cai Yameng's eyes.
The next time, Zhou Chen and Mr. Cai had a very happy conversation.
Cai Yameng couldn't even say anything at the side, so she could only silently pour tea for the two of them.
The old man and the young man were chatting, and soon the conversation inevitably came to the conflict between Zhou Chen and Cai Yameng's father's generation.
"This old man is sorry for your family. I didn't expect that my family, Lao Cai, would do something like repaying kindness with evil. Our family is unfortunate!"
Zhou Chen could see that Cai Zhongying really blamed himself, and his cloudy old eyes even filled with tears.
People of the older generation value love and justice the most.
Zhou Guangxi can be said to be Cai Zhongying's benefactor and close friend, but his own son severely hurt the son of his benefactor and close friend, making him extremely self-blame and guilty.
But there is nothing to do, after all, the children have grown up.
But Cai Zhongying looked at his granddaughter and then at Zhou Chen, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He took a sip of tea and moistened his throat.
"Xiaochen, you should be an adult now, right?"
"Yes."
Cai Zhongying asked casually: "Have you ever been in love?"
Zhou Chen nodded: "We talked about one, but we were not kind to each other, so we have already broken up."
There was joy in Cai Zhongying's eyes: "It's good to divide it, it's good to divide it."
Seeing Zhou Chen's strange look, Cai Zhongying coughed dryly: "I mean, the end of one relationship is the beginning of another. The next one will be better."
These words reminded Zhou Chen of Gu Zhaoyue.
He smiled and said, "Yes, I will meet a better one next time."
Cai Zhongying changed the topic: "By the way, has your grandfather told you about the agreement between the Cai family and your Zhou family?"
Zhou Chen was confused: "What is the agreement between the Zhou family and the Cai family?"
Cai Zhongying coughed again: "It seems that your grandfather didn't tell you. In fact, your grandfather and I made an agreement. If our children are a boy and a girl, we will become in-laws."
"It's a pity that both families are boys, so we can only push back this agreement."
Zhou Chen's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that he would have such luck.
But I have no feelings for Cai Yameng at all!
He refused immediately: "Grandpa Cai, times have changed, and baby kissing is a thing of the past."
"Arranged marriages are unhappy for me and Cai Yameng."
Cai Zhongying was slightly stunned. In the past few years, there have been countless princes from wealthy and powerful families pursuing their granddaughters.
Although some of them are for profit, there are also some who are attracted by the greatness of their granddaughters.
As long as Zhou Chen agrees, no matter what Cai Yameng thinks, Cai Zhongying will definitely let the two get married.
After all, I have already apologized to the Zhou family once, and I cannot afford to apologize a second time.
This is what the Cai family owes to the Zhou family and must be repaid.
