My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 574

Chapter 574: Chapter 566: Obsession Chapter 574: Chapter 566: Obsession Forget it, he put the key back into his pocket.

He would deal with it when he came back from his mission.

At the most, it would be three months.

The time would pass by in a flash.

But he didn’t know then, that by the time three months had rolled by, time had slipped through his fingers, and everything had changed.

Tang Yuxin continued to work her shifts and live in her dorm, focusing most of her energy on her job at the hospital.

Whenever she had spare time, she would purchase some herbal medicine and craft complicated concoctions all of which Gu Ning ultimately ended up taking away.

...

President Zhu could not resist sighing whenever he saw Tang Yuxin, as if he was incapable of stopping himself from sighing in her presence.

He just could not help himself.

He spent considerable efforts to woo Tang Yuxin to the hospital.

Back then, they had barely avoided a dispute with the folks at Qing University.

After much negotiation, they had finally managed to extricate Tang Yuxin from an eager crowd of suitors.

Of course, he had pinned great hopes on her, hoping she could continue to grow and save even more lives.

In order fulfil his ambition, he would spare no effort, even if it meant losing face.

He wanted Tong Feng to accept Tang Yuxin as a student.

After all, a promising seedling like her would surely catch Tong Feng’s eye, right?

But half a month has passed, and there are no news from Tong Feng’s side.

An effective form of refusal isn’t it?

— no response.

President Zhu knew that Tong Feng was not interested.

He just couldn’t understand why.

He couldn’t think of a reason not to accept her.

Tong Shu was talented indeed.

His aspiration was to secure the title of “National Doctor” as belonging to the Tongs after his time came to an end.

He was indeed satisfied with Tong Shu.

However, it was undeniable that she wasn’t the one he paid utmost attention to.

If she was truly the one, she wouldn’t have been involved in such a serious medical accident this time.

Although he managed to keep it under wraps and avoid tarnishing the Tong family’s reputation, deep down he was beginning to feel less satisfied with her capabilities.

But what could he do?

Today, he only had a single granddaughter who could inherit the Tong family, learn the medical skills of the Tong family and carry on the family’s name.

As for the others, regardless of the eldest or second family, they were all excluded from his considerations as they were his grandsons.

He, of course, had tried to train them, but some things required talent and others, destiny.

His other grandsons just didn’t have the talent or destiny.

Hence, he had no choice but to entrust the future of the Tong family to Tong Shu.

Otherwise, the towering reputation that the Tong family had built might crumble to dust in a single moment.

As for why he didn’t take on any students, it was simple.

The old saying of “training a pupil at the expense of the master’s life” still held true.

After all, the medical skills of the Tong family were strictly passed down within the family.

How could he pass the secrets on to others?

Therefore, while he did have many students, none of them were privy to the essence of his medical skills.

Meanwhile, Tong Feng found himself thinking of the fact that, if he could acquire the Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique of the Chen family, even his untalented grandsons would make mediocre doctors at least, while the skill would significantly bolster Tong Shu’s already considerable abilities, securing the Tong family’s position.

Moreover, he remained unbowed in his belief that among the family’s descendants there must be someone with aptitude for the medical arts – with even a hint of talent, the Tong family was bound to secure the top position in the medical arena.

Unfortunately, his dream was far from reaching.

He squinted his eyes shut, laid his veiny hands on the table and struck it forcefully.

The secret of the Chen family’s Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique was his sorest wound and, naturally, the Tong family’s biggest secret.

Only the patriarch of the Tong family was privy to this matter.

His great-grandfather passed it on to his grandfather.
