Chapter Fifty: A Clever Encounter While Renting a House

  Watching Fu Weihua's excitement, Fu Dongquan was already stunned. Originally, he still planned to wait for Wang Xu to speak up and find an excuse to drive Wang Xu away, but now he was directly dumbfounded.

  The son's secret, even he himself didn't know, a stranger actually knew, for a moment, Fu Dongquan was truly filled with mixed emotions, looking at Wang Xu's face in shock and uncertainty, guessing whether Wang Xu's medical skills were really superb or if he had planned it all along.

  No matter which one, Pei Dongquan couldn't drive Wang Xu away at this time. He had taken Pei Weihua to see so many doctors and had never seen Pei Weihua lose his composure before. Even if Wang Xu was a swindler, he couldn't chill Pei Weihua's heart at this moment.

  "Don't be polite, sit down." Wang Xu smiled faintly and let Fu Weihua sit down before speaking: "Your illness isn't difficult to cure. It's just that it hasn't been treated well until now, probably because the cause of the disease wasn't found."

  As he spoke, Wang Xu turned his head and said to Fu Dongquan: "Boss Fu, please bring paper and pen over, I'll write a prescription, take it according to the prescription, and you'll be cured in a month."

  Fu Dongquan heard this and hurriedly ran in to fetch paper and pen. Wang Xu took the paper and pen, and with a flourish wrote out a prescription on it, handing it over to Fu Weihua.

  Fu Weihua took the prescription from Wang Xu, glanced at it, and his eyes widened in shock. His face was filled with incredulity. He rubbed his eyes carefully and looked again, staring at Wang Xu in astonishment: "Doctor Wang, this prescription..."

  "It's not about taking a lot of medicine, but rather treating the symptoms. Just take it with confidence according to the prescription." Wang Xu said with a smile.

  Fu Dongquan and Zhang Tianyou were both astonished, hastily leaning over to look at the prescription in Fu Weihua's hand. After taking a glance, they also opened their mouths wide in surprise. It turned out that Wang Xu's prescription only had one medicine written on it - Tribulus!

  The name of the medicine is followed by a note: "Use fire to decoct and stir-fry, stir-fry until fragrant, remove thorns, grind into powder, take one small spoonful with warm water every day."

  Fu Dongquan himself was a medicinal material merchant and had some knowledge of medicine, so he naturally knew the properties of various medicinal materials and knew what this Tribulus terrestris was.

  This thistle is also known as dry grass, an annual or perennial herb, the whole plant is densely covered with grayish-white soft hairs. The main medicinal effect is to calm the liver and relieve depression, activate blood and dispel wind, brighten the eyes and stop itching.

  "Ben Cao" records: "Xieji, also known as dry grass, grows with the help of fire energy, can communicate the yin and yang of the human body, and relieve the heart meridian's fire stagnation." According to Wang Xu's analysis of Weihua's condition just now, it is indeed a suitable prescription, but this is only one type of medicine, can it really cure this stubborn disease that has not been cured for over a year?

  "Doctor Wang, will this medicine really work?" After reading it, Fu Dongquan also asked in doubt.

  "Try it and you'll know if it works or not, I won't charge a medical fee even if it doesn't work." Wang Xu said with a faint smile.

  Seeing Wang Xu so confident, Pei Dongquan and his son were also suspicious. As Wang Xu said, if he couldn't cure the disease, he wouldn't charge a fee for diagnosis. Moreover, Pei Dongquan was well-versed in pharmacology and knew that this medicine was suitable for the condition. After taking it, there would be no significant side effects, so they decided to give it a try.

  After Wei Hua finished prescribing the medicine, it was already past 9 pm. Wang Xu didn't stay much longer and chatted with Zhang Tianyou for a couple of sentences before bidding farewell and leaving.

  "Dr. Wang, where do you live? I'll send you back." Zhang Tianyou asked as they arrived downstairs.

  "No need, I'll hitch a ride back myself." Wang Xu said with a decline.

  "This won't do." Zhang Tianyou naturally refused, so Wang Xu could only tell Zhang Tianyou the address of Qiao Binkai's residence, got on the car, and let Zhang Tianyou send him back.

  At first, Zhang Tianyou didn't pay attention to the address Wang Xu said. It wasn't until they arrived at the Jianghuai River and saw a garden villa in the distance that he suddenly had an epiphany and was shocked again. He couldn't help but exclaim: "This Dr. Wang is really not simple, actually living in such a place."

  Put Wang Xu at the gate of the villa area in the garden, watching Wang Xu enter the door, Zhang Tianyou slowly drove away, this kind of place, his car can't get in.

  When Wang Xu returned to Qiao Bin Kai's villa, Qiao Bin Kai and his wife were watching TV in the living room. Seeing Wang Xu return, Qiao Bin Kai said with envy: "You actually got Luo Lao to stay for a day, tsk tsk, this kind of treatment, even Provincial Committee Secretary Han may not have it."

  Qiao Binkai only knew that Wang Xu was taken away by Luo Chenghai to see Luo Hanxiang in the morning, and when he saw Wang Xu return at this time, he thought Wang Xu had been staying at the Luo's house for a whole day.

  "I didn't have such a big face, I ate lunch and left, coincidentally met Jiang Tao, and followed him to join in the fun." Wang Xu said with a smile, while talking, he sat down on the empty sofa next to him, casually placing the calligraphy written by Luo Hansheng beside him.

  "Are those the antique dealers Jiang Tao knows?" Qiao Bin Kai asked with a smile, then glanced at the letter Wang Xu had put down and exclaimed in surprise: "What's this? You've even bought a calligraphy painting?"

  "That kind of thing I can't afford to buy." Wang Xu waved his hand and explained: "Old Luo heard that I was going to open a clinic, so he specially wrote a few characters for me."

  "Luohan Xiang's calligraphy!" Qiao Binkai was shocked, the old man's name slipped out of his mouth, and he didn't care about losing his composure. He stretched out his hand to take the calligraphy that Wang Xu had put down and unfolded it with a flourish.

  "There's even a signature!" After carefully reading it again, Qiao Binkai reluctantly rolled up the scroll and placed it beside Wang Xu, saying with envy: "Lao Luo hasn't written for anyone in many years, and when he does occasionally write something, he never signs his name. With this piece of calligraphy, you're set to sail smoothly in Zhongjiang."

  After chatting with Qiao Binkai in the living room for a while, Wang Xu originally wanted to tell Qiao Binkai that he intended to move out, but after thinking about it, he didn't speak up. With Qiao Binkai's temperament, even if he wanted to move, Qiao Binkai would probably go out of his way to find him a house and let him live there comfortably. Not to mention the favor, this emotional debt would only continue to grow.

  The next morning, Qiao Bin Kai and Wang Xu called out and went to the company. They agreed to take Wang Xu to see the storefront in the afternoon. With nothing to do, Wang Xu went out again alone to find a place to live.

  After wandering around for a whole morning, he finally saw a decent rental ad at almost eleven o'clock. It was a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment for rent, with two families sharing and an empty room. The rent was 800 yuan per month, the kitchen and other facilities were shared, and the price was reasonable.

  Hesitating for a moment, Wang Xu made a phone call and asked briefly before heading to the address. He pressed the doorbell and was stunned when he saw the person who came to open the door.

  "Brother Wang Xu!" The door opened and the person inside looked at Wang Xu for a moment before calling out in delight, it was none other than Bai Zijie from Xiangxiang Pavilion.

  "Come on in, how did you know we were here? Was it Snow sister who told you?" Seeing Wang Xu's confusion, Bai Zijie didn't hesitate and pulled him inside, while walking in, she asked again, and also shouted inside: "Dad, Brother Wang Xu is here."

  Upon hearing Bai Zijie's shout, Bai Nongxin hastily emerged from the shadows and walked enthusiastically to Wang Xu, beckoning him to come in: "Doctor Wang, please come in quickly. Xiao Xue told me you weren't in Yun City anymore, and I was going to give you a call, but I didn't have time."

  "Uncle Bai is being too polite." Wang Xu hastily smiled and said, his heart couldn't help but feel a bitter smile: "The world is also too small, isn't it?"

  "By the way, how did you end up in Zhongjiang?" After the three of them sat down, Wang Xu asked curiously: "Isn't Xiangxiang Pavilion in Yuncheng abandoned?"

  "Xiaoxue has been recovering well lately, it seems that she can go to school in September. She is attending Zhongjiang University. I thought about it and fortunately transferred the restaurant in Yuncheng, planning to open a new one in Zhongjiang." Bai Nongxin explained.

  Wang Xu nodded upon hearing this, it was already July below his eyes, and there were only two months left before the start of the next semester, he estimated that Bai Nong Xing still couldn't put his mind at ease about Bai Zi Jie's body.

  "By the way, Wang Xu, how did you know we were here?" Bai Zijie asked again about the topic from earlier.

  This topic is the one Wang Xu is most unwilling to answer, since he found out that Bai Nongxin and his daughter lived here, he had given up on renting this place. The Bai father-daughter duo was too enthusiastic, if he really lived here, it's likely that Bai Nongxin wouldn't even ask for rent.

  It can be seen that the days of Bai's father and daughter are not easy, although Bai Nong has opened a restaurant and should have some savings. However, Bai Zijie's medical expenses last time and subsequent tuition fees are also a big expense. The monthly rent of 800 yuan is enough for Bai Zijie's living expenses.

  "Ah!" Wang Xu hadn't had time to respond when Bai Nongxin suddenly slapped his forehead, looking at Wang Xu and saying: "You're not the one who just called asking about the house, are you? No wonder I found the phone number familiar. You've come to Zhongjiang and changed your new number, but I haven't had a chance to save yours yet."

  Wang Xu also came to Zhongjiang on the third day, still using the number in Yun City. This number was known to Bai Nongxin, and suddenly he remembered it now, leaving Wang Xu with no room for denial, and could only nod: "I indeed called earlier to ask about the house."

  "Haha, that's great! From now on, Wang Xu and we will live together." As soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, Bai Zijie excitedly said, with a hint of cheering.

  Since she got sick, Bai Zijie has basically become disconnected from society. Her former friends also rarely contact her. Only Han Yixue and Wang Xu are good to her. Moreover, Wang Xu treated her illness, although she hasn't fully recovered, it's almost the same. In her eyes, Wang Xu is next to Bai Nongxin as the closest person.

  "Yes, I wasn't planning to rent out this house either. Living with strangers is always inconvenient. Considering it's a waste to leave it empty, might as well earn some rent. Since Dr. Wang hasn't found a place to live yet, why don't you just stay here? It'll be good to have someone to keep each other company." Bai Nongxin also said with a smile.

  "Alright, I'll stay here then, but I'm still paying the rent. If you don't agree, Uncle Bai, I won't stay." Wang Xu nodded and said seriously.
