Chapter 657: Chapter 655: Are You Going to Join the Fun?
Because of Pan Xiaoleiâs unexpected pregnancy, everyone who was originally doing their own thing gathered again at the pavilion.
Lin Wanwanâs two senior brothers and Liang Jingtian, the Western Medicine senior, were somewhat surprised to hear that Lin Wanwan had diagnosed the pregnancy pulse.
It was just because Lin Wanwan was too young and didnât seem like someone with such high diagnostic skills.
Regarding the pregnancy pulse, "Su Wen" says: "If the pulse of the lesser yin in the hand is strong, then one is pregnant."
It is indeed possible to diagnose pregnancy after one month. But even experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors have a diagnostic accuracy of only 90%; blood tests are ultimately needed for further confirmation.
Modern medicine often relies on more than just pulse diagnosis.
In modern Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospitals, diagnosing pregnancy is mostly not done by examining the pulse but through tests.
The development of modern medicine has always accompanied the development of modern natural sciences, thus it doesnât specifically refer to Western medicine.
Ancient Western medicine was initially much more primitive and backward compared to Chinese medicine.
For example, during the same period in Great Tang and Outer Domain, Great Tang already had many mature Chinese medicine works and renowned doctors like Zhang Zhongjing and Sun Simiao; whereas ancient Western medicine was still in the butcher phase, with practitioners doubling as butchers.
Back to the point, although in modern Chinese medicine "cut" procedures, most people choose to rely primarily on modern medical equipment for examination, Liangâs family retains the ability of traditional pulse diagnosis and is known for having the "best pulse diagnosis in the world."
Lin Wanwanâs two senior brothers each took turns cutting Pan Xiaoleiâs pulse, affirming Lin Wanwanâs diagnosis; Xiaolei is indeed pregnant.
Liang Jingtianâs wife was watching on the side and didnât quite believe it. Honestly, even though her father-in-law is a big figure in Huaxiaâs traditional Chinese medicine field, she personally trusts modern medical examinations more over traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis.
In her concept, traditional Chinese medicine is mainly for treating chronic diseases and wellness, which is also the common understanding among most ordinary people.
Now with three Chinese medicine doctors at the scene confirming Pan Xiaoleiâs pregnancy, Pan Xiaolei fully believed it.
Although Liang Jingtian still suggested that Pan Xiaolei could go to the hospital for a blood test, it didnât dampen Pan Xiaoleiâs good mood.
Kang Hongjing, who woke up from a drunken nap and heard the news, remained indifferent and showed no excitement at all.
It was unclear how the two communicated, but the outcome was Pan Xiaolei tearfully requested to return to the room for rest, without eating or playing.
Lin Wanwan glanced at Kang Hongjing and speculated, "Could it be that Brother Kang doesnât want to get married?"
Lu Shouyue laughed, "Pregnancy and marriage arenât necessarily linked; Brother Kang just doesnât want this child."
Lin Wanwan opened her mouth to say something but eventually held back; after all, itâs private matters and none of her business.
The sulking Pan Xiaolei eventually came out to join the afternoon tea party, with Kang Hongjing still controlling all the topics. His girlfriendâs unexpected pregnancy didnât affect him much.
Those who have a plan arenât bothered by unexpected events because they confidently believe everything is under control.
While laughing and chatting, suddenly commotion broke out ahead, with many people excitedly running past, obviously going to join in the fun.
Lin Wanwan curiously looked in that direction and asked, "Whatâs happening?"
No need for her to guess; soon a passerby familiar with them revealed the answer.
"Itâs Lu Xingjian, Lu Baba from Times is here; letâs join in the fun too!"
"He brought a lot of people, seems like heâs here to inspect a project."
Voices of discussion buzzed in the crowd.
Lu Xingjian also had two bodyguards accompanying him, but with many subordinates and onlookers taking pictures, the entourage seemed grand, like the stars surrounding the moon.
Even traffic flow celebrities couldnât stir such curiosity in this wealthy resort like a business tycoon does.
Though everyone present belonged to the medical system, they were all intrigued, with Kang Hongjing further standing up and saying, "Teacher, Iâll go say hello; Mr. Lu has visited my channel before."
For Chinese medicine practitioners, the number of wealthy health care clients is also an important income indicator.
"Letâs all go take a look."
"Yeah, not much to do anyway." Except for the elderly couple Liang, everyone at the table seemed eager.
Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue exchanged a glance, she cheekily asked, "Everyoneâs going to see our richest Baba, are you going?"
Lu Shouyue raised a hand and gently pressed down on Lin Wanwanâs hair, retorting, "Itâs not me going; weâre going together."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanwanâs expression immediately changed, shaking her head like a rattle drum: "No no no, Iâm not going."
What a joke, meeting the parents after dating only for a week; thatâs super fast!
Although she had met them last year, even sharing a meal, last yearâs status was different, naturally making her feel different.
Lu Shouyue saw Lin Wanwanâs resistance but didnât insist, smiling, "Alright, if Wanwan doesnât want to go meet them, then weâll just pretend we donât know."
Lin Wanwan noticed Lu Shouyueâs smile with suspicion and asked, "Mr. Lu, did you know your dad was coming early and deliberately?"
Lu Shouyue immediately protested, "Wanwan, this gathering was arranged by your senior brothers. Besides, if it were my plan, it wouldnât be under these circumstances."
Lin Wanwan thought it over and agreed, thereâs no way to meet the parents like this.
"Hey, Wanwan, arenât you guys going to watch the excitement? Lu Xingjian huh! Huaxiaâs number one handsome tycoon huh! Not gonna see the real person?" Having just diagnosed pregnant, Pan Xiaolei had already put down the cup, ready to join the crowd.
Lin Wanwan shook her head and smiled, trying to remain casual, "Forget it, nothing interesting to see; I donât chase stars."
Lu Shouyue listened beside her, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Alright then, what about Mr. Lu? Are you going?" Pan Xiaolei asked Lu Shouyue.
Lu Shouyue also shook his head, smiling, "Iâm staying with Wanwan."
"Okay, suit yourselves." With that, Pan Xiaolei ran off.
The people by the long table drinking tea all went to join the bustling crowd, and the elderly couple Liang looked at Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue, the calm and collected couple, feeling somewhat peculiar.
"Wanwan, all the senior brothers went to see the excitement, yet you can stay calm." The elder Liang praised Lin Wanwan.
"Haha, yeah, teacher, I donât like joining the crowd." Lin Wanwan was embarrassed; she wasnât staying calm, had it been unrelated Jack Ma coming today, sheâd also join and snap some photos, join the fun.
Shortly after, Kang Hongjing and others finished greeting or watching the excitement and returned, the tea partyâs topic quickly shifted from Chinese medicine to billionaire gossip.
As they talked, the topic veered to the mysterious only son of Lu Xingjian. Lin Wanwan exchanged a quick glance with Lu Shouyue, both feeling amused.
