Chapter 603 - Pardon Me for My Inferior Medical Skills! (2/2)
Wen Haowen’s expression changed dramatically, becoming slightly twisted, as he hurriedly asked, “May I ask Old Mr. Du what do you mean by this? Is there a problem with my wife’s health?”
Old Mr. Wen’s expression also stiffened as he asked, “Old Mr. Du, please speak directly.”
Du Shinan pursed his lips slightly and didn’t speak.
At this point, Du Ruo jumped out from the crowd, walked up to Du Shinan, and said, “Grandpa, I want to try reading the pulse to see exactly what kind of pulse can stump even a prestigious medical practitioner like Grandpa who has been immersed in Traditional Chinese Medicine research for decades and seen all kinds of strange illnesses.”
Saying which, Du Ruo placed her hand on Ning Shuqian’s wrist.
Du Ruo’s words were also the heartfelt words of everyone present.
“Eh?” Shocked, Du Ruo hurriedly changed to Ning Shuqian’s other wrist for pulse reading.
Du Ruo’s exclamation made everyone hold their breaths anxiously.
Du Ruo’s hand retracted as if it was scalded. “Isn’t she pregnant? For someone who’s a little over three months pregnant, her pulse should be intermittent and irregular. However, her pulse is steady, unlike that of a pregnant woman.”
Unlike the pulse of a pregnant woman—this meant that she wasn’t pregnant.
Du Ruo’s words were like a time bomb which made everyone dizzy upon explosion.
Not pregnant? What was happening? Previously, at the Wen Corporation’s annual gala, didn’t Ning Shuqian announce her pregnancy in front of everyone, and even verified by the hospital?
Wen Haowen’s mind was hit badly. His first reaction was to say, “Impossible. Did you make a mistake—Shuqian’s pregnancy is even verified by the doctor.”
Du Ruo pouted and said, “My medical skills are inferior and made a mistake. Mr. Wen, please pardon me.”
Despite Du Ruo’s words, everyone wouldn’t really think that her medical skills were inferior. Even if they ignored Old Mr. Du’s mysterious attitude, the fact Du Ruo had followed Old Mr. Du and learned medical skills from him since she was young, as well as her accomplishments in health and beauty supplements, were enough to make everyone believe that her medical skills were outstanding.
Ning Shuqian was probably really not pregnant.
Additionally, recalling how she refused to seek treatment previously, unwilling to let Old Mr. Du read her pulse, everyone was almost certain that Ning Shuqian wasn’t pregnant.
Du Shinan said mildly, “My diagnosis is the same as that of my granddaughter’s. Our medical skills are inferior, please seek elsewhere.”
His words triggered everyone’s concealed thoughts and awoken everyone’s shocked minds.
Wen Xinya said in slight disbelief, “Grandpa Du, what’s happening? Aunt Ning is really not pregnant? But previously, at the Wen Corporation’s annual gala, I’d read her pulse and it indeed seemed like that of early pregnancy. Thereafter, the hospital has also verified it. Previously, Miss Xia has also helped to look for Master Luo Le to read her pulse…”
Xia Ruya felt inquisitive, curious, and suspicious glances landing on her, making her feel pricked all over.
Du Shinan couldn’t help but stare at her and said, “Don’t ever tell others that you learned your medical skills from me and ruin my reputation. Previously, when I asked you to study pulse reading properly, you weren’t interested and only learned the slightest bit. Now you’ve embarrassed yourself!”
Wen Xinya instantly blushed, looked down, and didn’t know what to say.
Everyone recalled how previously, at the Wen Corporation’s annual gala, Ning Shuqian had used Wen Xinya to reveal her pregnancy in front of everyone. Why didn’t everyone get it? She had merely faked her pregnancy and used the opportunity to attack Wen Xinya.
At the end of the day, it was just a power struggle of a wealthy family. However, Ning Shuqian’s tactic of faking a pregnancy was too evil!
