Chapter 194 More than Willing!
As they spoke, Mr. Hawking and Old Master Meng walked over. When Peiying and Zhenting heard this, they were both surprised. âOh? Mr. Hawking invited her?â Mr. Hawking ignored the two of them and looked at Lucas. Lucas said indifferently, âYou didnât fail the mission. You brought her here.â âGood.â Mr. Hawking nodded, then pulled the Meng familyâs old man next to him and said with a smile, âOld Meng, this is Doctor Armstrong who prescribed the medicinal cuisine for you.â
When Old Meng heard this, he looked at the young and beautiful woman in front of him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his shrewd eyes. Then he laughed and said, âI heard Mr. Hawking praise Doctor Armstrongâs medical skills for a long time. I thought she was an elder lady. I didnât expect her to be so young.â Hearing this compliment, Emily was a little shy. âActually, Iâm not young anymore. Iâm already twenty-five.â âWhat, twenty-five is not young now? Then arenât we already living fossils?â Old Master Meng teased. Mr. Hawking listened from the side and couldnât help but ridicule, âYouâre the living fossil. Iâm still young.â When everyone heard this, they couldnât help but laugh.
After the laughter, Old Master Meng returned to the main topic. He looked at Emily with a kind expression and said with a smile, âI invited you here today to thank you for the list of medicinal cuisine that you modified before.â âOld Master Meng, you are too polite. I was just lucky.â Emily smiled modestly However, Old Master Meng felt that this was not the case. âLucky? Alright, donât be modest with me. Speaking of which, itâs all thanks to the improved medicinal cuisine that my body is improving day by day. I really have to thank you.â Hearing this, Emily could no longer be modest and only politely said, âOld Master Meng, there is no need to thank me. Iâm glad that it is helpful.â Just like this, the two elders and the little one started chatting. Peiying and Zhenting watched from the side, very surprised.
After all, there were only a few young people who could make the respected Old Meng and Mr. Hawking look up to them. Not to mention, Old Meng even bowed his head and thanked her! For a moment, Zhenting could not help but look at Emily in a different light.
Peiying was also very surprised, but that was all.
She still did not think that Emily and her son could be together. Her son should be matched with a young lady from a prestigious family, not a single mother with two children!
Emily did not know about this.
To be able to have a good chat with two great experts with excellent medical skills, she had benefited a lot from it.
Many of the questions that she had left behind after reading her masterâs notes had also been solved. At the same time, Old Meng also showed his love for Emily. It had to be known that it was already commendable for a young girl like Emily to have such attainments in Chinese medicine.
âSince youâre here tonight, just treat this place as your own home. Donât stand on ceremony.â
Old Master Meng greeted Emily with a smile. âGirl, donât be so polite to this old man. After all, you saved his life.â Mr. Hawking also chimed in.
Hearing this, Emily laughed and nodded. âThen I wonât be polite.â âThatâs right. Being polite to this old man is a loss. Let me tell you, he has a lot of ancient medical books in his hands and did some study of ancient doctors. In the future, if you encounter something you donât understand, you can look for him. Borrow his books to study.â Mr. Hawking encouraged Emily.
Emily couldnât help but laugh.
âI think you are the one who wants to borrow them,â Meng said, rolling his eyes at Mr. Hawking. âWhat a good excuse you got there.â âTsk, who cares? Who doesnât have a few ancient medical books?â Mr. Hawking proudly raised his chin. Seeing the two old companions talking, Emily also did not say anything and quietly watched. Of course, the one who won, in the end, was Old Meng.
âDamn it, I read more books than you have. Why canât I win any arguments?â Mr. Hawking was furious. âThatâs because you are stupid.â Old Meng cast a gloating look. Then, regardless of Mr. Hawkingâs expression, he looked at Emily standing obediently to the side and couldnât help but smile warmly. âMs. Armstrong, please excuse us.â âSenior Meng and Senior Hawking have such a good relationship,â Emily complimented with a smile. Unexpectedly, when Mr. Hawking heard this, he snorted lightly. âWho has a good relationship with this old antique?â âSimilarly, you and I are just acquaintances.â Old Meng fought back, unwilling to fall behind. Seeing this, Emily could not help but laugh again. Looking at the smile on her face, Old Meng was a little embarrassed, feeling that his dignified image was about to disappear. âAhem, that, what this old man said is right. I have some research on ancient Chinese medicine, especially about medicinal cuisine. I have some knowledge about it, and I have some ancient medical books. If Ms. Armstrong is interested, I can show you.â
The more Old Master Meng spoke, the more he felt that this idea was good. From the improved medicinal cuisine list from before, he could tell that this child in front of him had great talent in medicine.
Emily was also stunned. He did not expect Old Master Meng to say this. âI only know a little about ancient Chinese medicine. If Senior Meng could show me the books, then I am more than willing to read them.â
âAlright, alright, alright. Iâll get someone to take you up to read some books later.â
Old Master Meng nodded happily. On the other hand, Mr. Hawking was displeased and complained, âDamn old man, when I asked you for the ancient medical books, you were so stingy that you refused to give them to me no matter what. Why are you so generous now that youâre here with Ms. Armstrong?â
