Chapter 24
He's just making things up.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Su Sangu's face flushed red, and she stumbled, almost losing her footing.
She pointed at Qin Mo with one finger: "You, you..."
Chen Shuqi quickly helped her up and started yelling at Qin Mo, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
"My mom is perfectly healthy and has never used any of those things you mentioned!"
"Su Wanxing! Who are these people you brought? They're just making things up to show off!"
"If you don't do something, I'm calling the police to have him arrested!"
Qin Mo stopped Su Wanxing and told her not to worry about it.
He then looked at Chen Shuqi and said, "If it's true, why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"However, I advise you to check that as well."
"You must be having a tough time lately, right? Do you feel dizzy when you wake up in the morning and have chest pains when you stay up late?"
"Also, you've been losing a lot of hair lately, haven't you?"
The more Qin Mo spoke, the uglier Chen Shuqi's expression became.
She was somewhat surprised: How did this kid know about her affairs!
But she would never admit it: "Heh, you're talking nonsense again, aren't you? I don't have any of those symptoms you're describing!"
Qin Mo shrugged, indifferent to whether she had it or not.
He looked at Uncle Su: "Your eyelids are swollen, your face is pale and puffy, your tongue is large and has teeth marks on the sides..."
Do you often experience swelling, and does the swelling occur in different locations?
Uncle Su's face tightened, and he squinted at Qin Mo: "Kid, stop bluffing. What you're saying is all just guesswork. I didn't say anything."
Another one who won't admit it.
Qin Mo didn't care, his gaze casually falling on the crowd.
He casually pointed and said, "This lady has a face as white as paper and cheeks as red as if she's wearing makeup. I just heard you cough a few times, and your voice sounded a bit weak... This indicates a deficiency of both lungs and kidneys."
The middle-aged woman who was mentioned was taken aback, never expecting to be caught up in the gossip.
"Oh! How did you know? I just went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday!"
Qin Mo smiled slightly and continued to the next person: "This person's eyes tremble like rolling beans, and his fingertips also tend to tremble unconsciously. This is a sign of liver yang rising, a precursor to stroke..."
"Madam, since you gave birth, has your period not returned yet...?"
"This gentleman..."
Qin Mo's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, his words flowing like a lotus flower.
Not daring to question whether the other party acknowledged it or not, they pointed out more than a dozen people in the room, even mentioning the nanny who was responsible for serving tea and water.
Uncle Su and Aunt Su were dumbfounded, and even Su Wanxing's eyes widened in surprise.
More than half of those whose symptoms were pointed out were quite surprised.
Although they didn't know if Qin Mo's description of the illness was accurate, he was able to pinpoint their exact ailments with just a glance.
This alone is something that no ordinary doctor could do!
Qin Mo did not explain his identity, but after this round of questioning, there was no need to explain.
He stopped, and the place fell silent.
Uncle Su and Aunt Su's lips twitched, and they were speechless for a long time.
Su Dingshan exclaimed with admiration, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"
"Tch, so what if she knows a little medicine? What's so great about that?" Shen Biqin rolled her eyes, looking utterly disdainful.
Behind the scenes, Zhao Ke'er gritted her teeth: "That bastard, how does he know so much..."
Su Wanxing watched Qin Mo's retreating figure, a rare smile appearing on her delicate face.
Surprisingly, this kid is not bad.
"Second Uncle, Third Aunt, do you still have any doubts about his identity?" She raised her chin slightly and looked at the two of them.
Aunt Su dared not say another word.
What Qin Mo just said indirectly confirms that her problem is indeed true.
She's too embarrassed to even think about it now.
"Ahem," Uncle Su coughed dryly, complaining, "Wanxing, look at your fiancé, why is he being so aggressive?"
"We're just concerned about you, why is he making such a fuss?"
"They have absolutely no respect for their elders!"
Qin Mo could only shake his head: Every family has its own troubles, it seems that even wealthy families have their share of problems.
"That's right!"
Chen Shuqi quickly changed the subject: "What's wrong with doctors? If someone's character is bad, they can't even come in!"
"Look, everyone's come to celebrate your recovery today, and they've all brought gifts."
"Isn't he your fiancé? You haven't come up with anything, have you?"
Chen Shuqi stared at Qin Mo with a forced smile, her eyes filled with resentment.
Why is that bastard helping Su Wanxing?
If he's just a petty thug, Su Wanxing is destined to become a laughingstock tonight.
But he is not, how could he not be!
Su Wanxing knew that she was deliberately making things difficult for Su Ershu, and was about to speak when Su Ershu interrupted her.
"Shu Qi is right."
"It's bad enough that you came covered in blood and brought bad luck to everyone, but it's even worse if you didn't even bring a gift."
"Wanxing, your second uncle won't allow you to find such a stingy person. He's determined to leech off you."
They talked back and forth, not only changing the subject but also raising a new problem.
Su Wanxing wasn't worried at all; she had anticipated this scene and had Zhao Ke'er buy the gift in advance so that Qin Mo could bring it over.
However, Qin Mo arrived late, and Zhao Ke'er brought the gift directly, so he hadn't had a chance to give it to him yet.
If we go inside to get it now, we'll definitely be exposed.
Zhao Ke'er became excited again, and the corners of her mouth turned up: That's right, what kind of decent gift can a convict afford?
Fortunately, she arrived early and didn't give the gift Su Wanxing bought to Qin Mo.
Otherwise, he would have really stolen the spotlight.
She would never allow this kind of "phoenix man" to climb up the Su family's powerful tree!
"No need for a gift." Left with no other option, Su Wanxing stepped in to smooth things over: "Qin Mo cured my illness, so if anyone should give a gift, it should be me giving it to him."
But Chen Shuqi disagreed: "Cousin, that's not right. He saved you, and you agreed to marry him, didn't you?"
"Isn't it normal for engaged couples to exchange gifts?"
"What... could it be that you really didn't buy it?!"
She exclaimed in surprise, raising her voice, "Oh dear, they're determined to freeload off the Su family! They haven't even prepared a gift!"
Su Wanxing's face immediately turned ugly, and she barely managed to refrain from slapping Chen Shuqi.
"That makes sense."
At this moment, Qin Mo suddenly spoke up: "Since this is to celebrate your recovery from a serious illness, I should indeed prepare a gift."
Su Wanxing was surprised that he would stand up and say this, so she quickly gave him a wink.
But Qin Mo acted as if he hadn't seen it and handed her the box directly: "It happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to prepare. Take this first, and I'll make you another one later."
The box in his hand was a thank-you gift from Yang Tianrui.
He rushed over without knowing what was inside.
Judging from the woman's haughty demeanor, the items inside probably aren't too cheap.
It's better than coming empty-handed, at least.
"Did you prepare this?" Su Wanxing was a little surprised, not expecting that Qin Mo had actually prepared a gift.
But before she could take it, Chen Shuqi snatched it away.
"Don't be so stingy, show it to everyone."
"You didn't buy any cheap stuff from a street vendor for the Su family's dinner, did you?"
"Everyone, look what great stuff our Dr. Qin bought!"
She firmly believed that someone like Qin Mo, from the bottom of society, couldn't possibly have anything of value to offer.
Before Su Wanxing could stop her, she opened the box!
