Chapter 216: Two hundred and sixteen I just don’t believe he won’t eat!_1

For a long moment, Ji Chu sincerely grasped Gu Chen’s hand.

"Thank you, thank you for saving my sister, you’ve saved half the life of my parents."

He spent every day with his father and mother, and no one was more aware of their longing for their daughter and their pain than he was.

He really was grateful to him for protecting his sister, for giving her a home.

When Ji Chu said this, Gu Chen felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Don’t say that, if anyone should be saying thank you, it should be me, I should be thanking her."

He was thankful for Ji Pianran’s unwavering support and for giving him a chance to change.

One must know, not every mistake can be forgiven.

Gu Chen was well aware that he had made grievous errors in his past life.

Having been reborn, he truly cherished Ji Pianran and Tang Tang even more.

"By the way, brother-in-law, now that you are here, can I go back to school?" Ji Chu blinked, his eighteen-year-old eyes full of earnestness.

Gu Chen was taken aback and said bemusedly, "No, what does whether you go to school or not have to do with me?"

The Ji Family wasn’t short on tuition money.

He didn’t understand.

Ji Chu lowered his eyes in a tone of helplessness.

"You know, our family only has two children, my sister and me, currently my father is seriously ill, and no one is managing the business, so I was forced to take a leave of absence from school, but I still want to pursue further studies!"

He still felt that compared to the complex human interactions of the business world, he preferred school, the faint smell of ink from books, and the simple and pure social circle.

Gu Chen never expected that this young brother-in-law, whom he had met only three times, would be so frank with him and immediately hand him responsibilities.

He swallowed hard and spoke reassuringly.

"I actually think that your father’s illness will definitely get better; there’s no need to be so pessimistic."

He certainly didn’t want to get involved in the Ji Family business; their wealth belonged to the Ji Family.

Having been reborn, he wanted to make his own way in this chaotic world.

He intended to provide Ji Pianran and Tang Tang a good life with his own hands.

Besides, he had taken on so many tasks waiting for him to make his mark, how could he manage the Ji Family’s vast business in just a day or two?

It might take years, perhaps even longer.

In that case, wouldn’t he just be a man living off a woman?

He was young, with a healthy appetite, and he didn’t want that!

With a golden finger, yet to rely on a woman’s support, that would be truly embarrassing.

Upon hearing this, Ji Chu sighed deeply, his eyes full of helplessness.

"My father’s illness isn’t new; it’s been two years since he had a gastrectomy, and he has never really recovered. He’s older now and doesn’t have the resilience of young people, be it appetite or mental state, it’s getting worse by the day."

Stomach cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive system.

After surgery, the functionality of the digestive system declines severely, and his diet must be taken care of meticulously.

"Although our family is rich, honestly, there’s not much my dad can eat. He can’t have greasy or spicy food, heavy seasoning is off-limits, it has to be soft and mushy, and he’s almost always eating things like porridge, steamed egg custard, and tofu pudding. You tell me, who could stand eating like this all the time?"

The more Ji Chu spoke, the heavier his mood became.

To tell the truth, Ji Pianran herself suffered from the same illness in his previous life, so when she was hospitalized last time, Gu Chen also previously secretly learned about it.

Life is indeed painful for a stomach cancer patient post-gastrectomy.

Digestive function drops sharply, and long-term radiation and chemotherapy can severely damage a patient’s immune system, which are irreversible effects.

He truly understood how Ji Guangsheng was feeling now.

It was probably that feeling of wanting to die but unable to, and wanting to live but not able to do so well.

People say that living is all about meals, but how can a person who can never be satisfied with his meals not be in pain?

Gu Chen sympathetically patted Ji Chu’s shoulder, "It will be okay; everything will improve."

"Improve what? When even the doctors are out of options, how can you tell me it will get better? How can it improve?" Due to frustration and profound helplessness, Ji Chu’s tone was somewhat sharp, but he wasn’t directing it at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen didn’t take offense; after all, it’s just like a child, showing every little trouble on their face.

""

He pursed his lips, actually Ji Chu wasn’t wrong, who was to blame when he wasn’t a doctor?

Doctor?

Gu Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

He squinted subconsciously.

Wait a second, who said he wasn’t a doctor?

He was a person with Intermediate Traditional Chinese Medicine Skills!

Gu Chen touched his head.

Oh my, he was a doctor!

He hadn’t used these skills for so long, he had almost forgotten about them!

He wasn’t just a physician, but also one with God-Level Culinary Skills.

Awesome! Gu Chen thought to himself.

Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are fundamentally different.

Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on regulating the body, while Western medicine focuses on emergency treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine looks at the root cause, while Western medicine looks at the symptoms.

For example, if someone has a stomach ache, Western medicine would quickly prescribe some painkillers to relieve the pain, and add some anti-diarrheal medicine to treat diarrhea, considering the job done.

It’s a typical case of treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

But Traditional Chinese medicine is different.

It starts by digging deep into the person’s five organs, determining whether it’s weakness in the spleen and stomach or cold, or a disorder in the digestive system that caused the invasion of pathogenic factors, leading to stomach pain.

Clarify the thought process, then trace back to the root, and solve the problem once and for all!

Gu Chen pondered, the stomach, it’s where food is accommodated.

Eighty percent of stomach diseases are related to what one eats and drinks.

If that’s the case, why not try food therapy?

Food therapy is also a part of Traditional Chinese medicine.

Seeing Gu Chen not speaking, Ji Chu thought she had been too harsh with her words.

She quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, I wasn’t snapping at you, I’m just really helpless."

Her voice pulled Gu Chen back from his thoughts, and he suddenly came back to reality.

"It’s fine, I was just thinking that maybe I could give it a try, treat the old man with food therapy for a while, to see if there can be any improvement."

?!

She stared at Gu Chen with surprise, "What’s going on?"

What kind of person was her brother-in-law, capable of food therapy?

Truly keeping one’s light under a bushel.

Gu Chen smiled, "Do you think my method could work?"

Ji Chu shook her head, a look of regret on her face, "No way!"

Sighing as she might.

In fact, Ji Guangsheng had been on food therapy for years, but he just refused to eat, what could anyone do?

Gu Chen was surprised, "Why not?"

Ji Chu pursed her lips and spoke helplessly.

"Years of food therapy, utterly useless. Now he doesn’t even want to eat his meals, only takes a few bites each day, surviving solely on medications, constantly being fed all kinds of nutritional fluids into his body. Only this way, can he barely maintain his current state."

Hearing this, Gu Chen laughed.

Not eat?

Nobody has refused food that he’s made before.

He might not be good at other things, but when it comes to cooking, he really hasn’t met anyone in Huaxia who hasn’t been impressed.

If one phrase were to sum up his feelings at the moment, it would be, the ace chef applies to enter the battle!

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow. "That’s because you haven’t met me. Starting from tomorrow, I’ll take care of the old man’s meals. I refuse to believe he won’t eat!"
