Lu Ping’s face was ashen as he remained silent.
The reason he chose to come to this traditional Chinese medicine clinic was because he had already watched Qin Jiang’s live streams online.
There’s no doubt about Qin Jiang’s medical skills.
At least so far, Qin Jiang has never misdiagnosed anyone.
Seeing Han Xiao still stubbornly refusing to admit the truth, Qin Jiang said calmly, “The pulse doesn’t lie. This is kidney deficiency caused by excessive indulgence.”
“As for what you said about your ‘first time’ and all that – in the past, there might not have been a way, but with today’s advanced technology, restoring it isn’t really a big deal.”
Qin Jiang put it very bluntly.
The live stream chat instantly exploded.
“Wow, is Dr. Qin saying that this woman got reconstructive surgery?”
“This isn’t just a joke? People actually get that kind of surgery in real life?”
“I work in high-end matchmaking. All I can say is, plenty of people get this procedure. Especially many women who want to land a wealthy husband – they choose to get this surgery. It’s not expensive anyway.”
The wealthier people are, the more traditional and conservative their thinking tends to be.
They might not be saints themselves, but because they have money, their expectations for a partner naturally become pickier.
Han Xiao wanted to land a wealthy husband too, and Lu Ping was her target.
Unfortunately for her, she didn’t realize that while reconstructive surgery could fool others, it couldn’t fool Qin Jiang.
Once Qin Jiang took Han Xiao’s pulse, whether she had kidney deficiency and what caused it – all that information was crystal clear to him. There were no secrets to hide.
Han Xiao still wanted to keep denying it.
“Honey, he’s just making all this up. I really didn’t. My feelings for you are sincere!”
Lu Ping looked at Han Xiao and said, “Is that so? Then hand over your medical insurance card. I’ll have someone check the records.”
Hearing that, Han Xiao’s face fell, and she suddenly couldn’t speak.
If an ordinary person tried to check, Han Xiao was confident they wouldn’t find anything.
But if Lu Ping sent someone to investigate, that was a different story.
The Lu family has extensive connections – it’s normal for them to know a few people within the medical system.
Han Xiao still wanted to make one last attempt.
“Honey, let the past be the past. But I’ve always loved you.”
“Are you really going to deny all the beautiful time we’ve had together just because of my past?”
Hearing Han Xiao say that, Lu Ping already knew the truth.
Lu Ping said disappointedly, “We’ve been together for so long. You should know that what I hate most is deception.”
“Leave. I don’t want to see you again.”
Han Xiao didn’t expect Lu Ping to be this heartless.
She shot Qin Jiang a vicious glare, then left without looking back.
Qin Jiang felt incredibly satisfied.
You wanted to cause drama, didn’t you?
Now you’ve broken up with your wealthy catch, haven’t you?
Well, well – did you really think I couldn’t handle you?
Lu Ping looked at Qin Jiang apologetically.
“I’m really sorry, Dr. Qin. I never expected her to deceive me like this. How much for this consultation? I’ll pay.”
Qin Jiang waved his hand and said, “I didn’t prescribe her any medicine, I just took a look. No charge.”
“As for you, though, your situation is serious.”
“Huh?”
Hearing Qin Jiang say that, Lu Ping was a bit confused.
“Is there something wrong with me?”
Qin Jiang pointed at Lu Ping’s shoulders. “Haven’t you noticed that you have uneven shoulders?”
Lu Ping immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought something major was wrong, but it was just uneven shoulders.
Lu Ping explained, “I’ve been like this since I was a kid. A lot of my classmates have uneven shoulders too. It shouldn’t be a big problem, right?”
Lu Ping figured it was just an issue caused by poor posture as a child.
If something like that isn’t corrected early, it’s even harder to fix as an adult.
Qin Jiang shook his head.
“If it were just uneven shoulders, that wouldn’t be a big deal. But your complexion isn’t normal.”
“Let me ask you – have your shoulders been feeling sore and painful? Sometimes so painful that you can’t even lift your arm?”
Lu Ping was taken aback at first, then nodded repeatedly.
“Yes, that’s exactly what happens.”
“But isn’t that just frozen shoulder? I spend a lot of time working at my desk. I’ve been to the hospital before, and the doctor said I’d be fine if I just exercised more.”
“This isn’t frozen shoulder.”
Qin Jiang said very confidently, “Patients with frozen shoulder can’t lift their arms up or down. But in your case, it sounds like moving your shoulder at all causes pain.”
Actually, from the moment Lu Ping walked in, Qin Jiang had already noticed him.
Because Lu Ping’s complexion was slightly flushed, and his eyes looked a bit abnormal – they seemed somewhat yellowish.
Through observing his energy and complexion, Qin Jiang immediately sensed that something was wrong with Lu Ping’s body.
During his subsequent observations, Qin Jiang confirmed his suspicion.
While Lu Ping was talking with Han Xiao, the way his shoulders moved was very unnatural. Sometimes, when he moved them too much, a pained expression would involuntarily appear on his face.
Qin Jiang pointed to the pulse pillow.
“Reach out your hand. Let me take your pulse.”
Without any hesitation, Lu Ping immediately extended his hand.
After taking his pulse, Qin Jiang’s expression grew even grimmer.
Seeing Qin Jiang’s face, Lu Ping’s heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt anxious.
“Dr. Qin, this isn’t something serious, is it?”
“Take off your clothes. Let me look at your shoulder.”
Lu Ping didn’t act coy in front of the camera. He immediately took off his shirt.
Qin Jiang pinched Lu Ping’s shoulder with his fingers and immediately felt something bumpy.
“Have you noticed these nodules on your shoulder? When did they start appearing?”
Lu Ping nodded and explained:
“I don’t remember exactly, but about a year ago. I was heavier back then, so I had a lot of these lipomas on my body.”
“I didn’t really think much of it. I figured once I lost weight, these lipomas would naturally disappear.”
Lipomas are something everyone has.
But overweight people have more lipomas – they feel like little lumps under the skin.
Some people have many lipomas that are quite large, making the area look like a dense, bumpy mess, which can be a bit frightening.
But these lipomas are benign and generally don’t become cancerous.
Qin Jiang glanced at him and said, “These aren’t lipomas. They’re tumors.”
“Underneath these lumps are your bones. Your bones have already deformed. There’s a high chance you have bone cancer. To confirm, you’d need further tests.”
Bone cancer!
Hearing those two words, Lu Ping was stunned.
He was still so young – how could he possibly have bone cancer?
Lu Ping’s face turned pale.
“Dr. Qin, can you treat this condition?”
Qin Jiang reassured him, “I’m not sure yet. Come with me to the pharmacy. Let’s run a test first.”
Lu Ping nodded repeatedly and immediately followed behind Qin Jiang.
