"Oh, my dear old man, I've been so busy lately! But when I heard you were sick, I rushed over to see you. What's wrong, Dad? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Huzi could lie without batting an eye, and his flattery skills were absolutely top-notch.

Standing to the side, Mayor Mo gritted his teeth, his face turning ashen.

He had just said he didn't know his father was sick, and now he was claiming he'd come specifically to visit?

"I'm fine. I just haven't been sleeping well lately."

Old Mo said casually, then turned his gaze to Chen Xiao and asked, "And this is?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen, this is my godfather, Old Mo!"

Wang Huzi quickly introduced them.

"Old Mo, nice to meet you!"

Chen Xiao greeted him politely.

"Hello."

Old Mo nodded to Chen Xiao, but he was filled with doubt. Why would Junyang address this young man as "Mr."?

Mayor Mo, on the other hand, simply snorted coldly, his gaze towards Chen Xiao revealing a hint of disdain.

In his view, Chen Xiao was undoubtedly some young master from a wealthy family. Otherwise, given Wang Huzi's temperament, he would never be so respectful.

And he had always had a bad impression of these纨绔子弟 (wánkù zǐdì – good-for-nothing playboys) who relied on their family connections to survive.

He said coldly, "You can wait on the side for now. Don't disturb Divine Doctor Xue from examining the old man!"

"Brother, what do you mean by that? Who's disturbing the doctor from seeing Dad? You better explain yourself!"

Wang Huzi was immediately displeased by Mayor Mo's words.

He didn't care what they said about him, but saying anything bad about Boss Chen was absolutely off-limits!

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

Mayor Mo said with a cold face.

Chen Xiao quickly advised Wang Huzi, "Forget it. Let's just wait on the side for a while. Old Mo's health is the most important thing."

"Hmph, that's more like it…"

Mayor Mo snorted coldly.

Then, Divine Doctor Xue said calmly, "Old Mr. Mo, Mayor Mo, you both don't need to worry too much. Old Mr. Mo's health is not in serious danger. After I prescribe a few calming medications, I can guarantee that Old Mr. Mo will sleep soundly and restore his normal sleep quality within half a month."

"That's great! Thank you, Divine Doctor Xue!"

Mayor Mo was overjoyed upon hearing this and turned to Old Mo, saying, "Dad, see? What did I tell you? There's nothing wrong with your health at all. You can relax now."

"Yes, I'm relieved, relieved. Now that you're all here, don't leave for lunch. Have a couple of drinks with me!"

Old Mo was in a good mood, not so much because his health wasn't a problem, but mainly because he saw both of his sons had returned.

People, especially the elderly, no matter how high their status or how much power they have, are afraid of loneliness.

"No problem, Dad! If you don't chase me away, I won't leave tonight! Let's drink until we drop!"

Wang Huzi said generously. He was still thinking about the old man's Guan Dao, so naturally he had to make the old man happy.

However, Mayor Mo frowned upon hearing this and said coldly, "Drinking? What drinking? Dad's health hasn't been good lately, so don't mess around!"

Wang Huzi glared at Mayor Mo, his anger flaring up, but since his father was present, he couldn't bring himself to tear into Mayor Mo.

In the end, he could only say sarcastically, "Fine, I'll listen to you. I'll listen to everything you say. After all, you're the official, so we, the common folk, naturally have to listen to you!"

"What are you yapping about with your阴阳怪气 (yīnyáng guàiqì – sarcastic) tone?"

Mayor Mo narrowed his eyes and glared!

"Enough! You start arguing as soon as you get back. Arguing, arguing, arguing! If you keep arguing, get out! Go argue outside!"

Old Master Mo finally lost his temper. Now, the two brothers finally shut up, but they both turned their heads to the side, not looking at each other.

At this time, Divine Doctor Xue had already written the prescription and handed it to Mayor Mo, "Mayor Mo, you can just get the medicine according to this prescription!"

"Thank you, Divine Doctor Xue!"

Mayor Mo took the prescription and thanked Divine Doctor Xue again.

Just then, Chen Xiao suddenly spoke, "Mayor Mo, can I take a look at the prescription?"

Mayor Mo was slightly stunned, "You also understand traditional Chinese medicine?"

Chen Xiao said modestly, "I know a little bit."

Mayor Mo frowned. He thought Chen Xiao was just an ignorant young master from a wealthy family who wanted to show off his meager knowledge.

Perhaps, he would start criticizing the prescription in the next moment!

He wanted to refuse, but then Divine Doctor Xue smiled slightly and said proudly, "Mayor Mo, since this young friend wants to see it, then let him see it. This is just an ordinary calming prescription, there's nothing to hide."

Divine Doctor Xue had always been well-mannered, but seeing that Chen Xiao was so young, he couldn't help but feel a bit of disdain in his heart.

"Alright then."

Upon hearing this, Mayor Mo had no choice but to hand the prescription to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao took it and frowned immediately, saying calmly, "This is indeed an ordinary calming prescription, but unfortunately, it's not the right prescription for the illness."

Mayor Mo sneered, "As I expected, I knew you were going to criticize it. Wang Junyang, quickly take the person you brought away, don't let him mess around!"

"Who are you saying is messing around? If Mr. Chen says so, there must be a reason why Mr. Chen says so!"

Although Wang Huzi didn't know why Chen Xiao was doing this, he knew that he had to support Boss Chen unconditionally, no matter what.

Mayor Mo was about to get angry, but then Divine Doctor Xue stopped him and said calmly, "Mayor Mo, don't be impatient. Since this young friend says there's a problem with my prescription, then I'd like to hear what's wrong with my prescription!"

Even with Divine Doctor Xue's high level of composure, being told to his face that the prescription he prescribed wasn't the right one for the illness made him extremely angry!

The reason why he wanted to hear what Chen Xiao had to say was simply because he believed that Chen Xiao definitely wouldn't be able to say anything worthwhile!

Chen Xiao didn't think so much and said directly, "There's nothing wrong with this calming prescription. If an ordinary person takes it, at most it just won't have any effect, and there won't be any side effects. But for Old Mo, it won't do!"

"Especially the *Fēn Xīn Mù* and *Yè Jiāo Téng* in the prescription, their medicinal properties are cold and will greatly aggravate Old Mo's condition!"

As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, Mayor Mo shouted, "Enough! You arrogant and ignorant kid! If you dare to talk nonsense here again, I'll throw you out!"

"Even I, a layman, know that traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes *wàng wén wèn qiè* (望闻问切 - observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking). You haven't even done the most basic pulse-taking, how do you know what disease my father has? Why are you spouting nonsense here?"

Facing the shouting Mayor Mo, Chen Xiao not only didn't get angry, but even smiled calmly.

"Mayor Mo, you also said that traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes *wàng wén wèn qiè*, and your father's condition is already written on his face, you can tell at a glance. The cause of his illness is *yīn xié rù tǐ* (阴邪入体 – invasion of yin and evil), which is commonly known as being possessed!"
