Shen Xi got out of the car at the entrance of the Qin family villa, looking at everything familiar yet strange, with a thousand emotions churning within her.
Five years ago, she had been to this place five or six times, received warm hospitality, and left many fond memories.
Now, stepping in again, everything was transformed, and she arrived under a completely new identity.
"Are you Dr. Shen?" At this moment, Butler Sun walked out from inside with a genial expression and greeted her.
"Yes," Shen Xi nodded slightly.
"Please come in. I am the butler here, my surname is Sun. The old madam has been waiting for you for a long time." Butler Sun extended his hand, leading her inside.
Upon entering the hall, the furnishings were almost the same as before, only the sofas were a newer model.
"Old madam, Dr. Shen has arrived," Butler Sun said respectfully to Xu Zhilan on the sofa as soon as he entered.
Xu Zhilan looked up at Shen Xi, and a faint gleam appeared in her vacant eyes.
At this moment, Jiang Jie, standing beside her, looked up and said, "Oh? Then please invite Dr. Shen over."
Shen Xi walked over with poise and greeted her politely, "Old madam."
Xu Zhilan kept her gaze fixed on Shen Xi, saying nothing, merely nodding slightly.
Placing the medical bag on the coffee table, Shen Xi began to examine Xu Zhilan.
Starting with observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, she diagnosed her condition.
Five years ago, she had been in a car accident on the way to the cemetery and was later rescued by Song Kaicheng.
Her body was severely injured at the time, and the child was almost miscarried. Fortunately, Song Kaicheng took her abroad for treatment, and her body gradually recovered.
However, from then on, her body developed a chronic cough. Coupled with the premature birth of the children, their bodies were very weak.
She specifically sought out a centuries-old traditional Chinese medicine shop in Country B to study. Later, she was admitted to university for a master's degree in traditional Chinese medicine.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she delved into this field of knowledge, it was as if her meridians were instantly unblocked, and her proficiency in traditional Chinese medicine continuously improved.
She not only regulated her own body and that of her children but also became a renowned traditional Chinese medicine expert locally, curing many complex and rare diseases.
Attracting many people seeking medical attention, she became famous overnight, shaking the globe.
Butler Sun stood to the side. At this moment, his phone suddenly rang; it was Qin Siye calling.
"Hello? Young master," Butler Sun quickly retreated into the courtyard to answer.
"Has Dr. Shen arrived?" Qin Siye asked from the other end of the phone.
"Yes. She has arrived and is currently examining the old madam," Butler Sun replied.
"Good. I will be back soon. After the examination, ask her to stay for a while. I have something I want to discuss with her in person," Qin Siye's voice was low.
Butler Sun replied, "Understood, young master."
In the hall, Shen Xi had just removed the silver needles from Xu Zhilan's head when the latter looked up and asked kindly, "Young lady, what is your name?"
"Shen Xi," Shen Xi smiled at her and then lowered her head to pack her things.
"Shen Xi, Xi Xi, my grandson Si Ye used to have a girlfriend, also named Xi Xi. She was about your height and build. I was very fond of that child, but alas..." Xu Zhilan sighed deeply, her eyes glistening with tears.
When Butler Sun walked in and saw her expression and heard her words, he was incredibly shocked. He hadn't expected this Miss Shen to achieve such good results with just one acupuncture session. The title of divine doctor was indeed well-deserved.
Just then, a familiar female voice echoed from outside the main entrance, "Grandma, how are you feeling? I came to visit you specifically today."
Shen Xi turned her head to look and saw Lu Yushan striding in, carrying a gift box.
She was wearing a light purple dress with a beige blazer and delicate makeup. However, her face appeared more weary than it had five years ago.
Their eyes met, and Lu Yushan's heart skipped a beat. She had heard a few days ago that Qin Siye had invited a world-renowned divine doctor for Xu Zhilan, but she hadn't expected it to be such a young woman.
