Chapter 523: Five hundred and eighteen Autistic patient_1

From the moment he entered the room, these few had been treating him with utmost respect.

Everything was for the sake of this child.

If there were to be no results in the end, how should he deal with these people’s anger and the responsibility they would place on him?

Boss Gu did not want to invite any trouble because of these matters.

After all, by all logical accounts, this matter had little to do with him.

"Boss Gu, rest assured, whatever the outcome may be, we have already prepared ourselves mentally.

We have not spared any effort for many years because of this issue, and now that we have found even a slight opportunity, of course, we want to give it a try," one of them said.

Wei Baoguo could hear the worry in Boss Gu’s words, so he directly assured him at that moment, allowing Boss Gu to feel at ease.

However, the old gentleman beside him suddenly seemed a bit unhappy.

"I say, can you let the man have a bite to eat before we discuss this matter?"

The old gentleman thought Wei Baoguo was being overly anxious, clearly putting pressure on Boss Gu.

Therefore, he took the initiative to step in and relieve Boss Gu from the situation.

After hearing these words, Wei Baoguo suddenly realized that what he had said was somewhat inconsiderate.

Boss Gu had not even agreed to help yet, and here he was already stating that Boss Gu need not take any responsibility should the attempt fail.

"I was too presumptuous; let’s eat first," Wei Baoguo said to Boss Gu and then picked up a spare rib for him.

Boss Gu looked at the piece of meat in his bowl, unsure whether to eat it or not.

It seemed as if eating it would mean he was agreeing to the matter.

Yet if he didn’t eat it, he felt it might be too impolite.

Their attitude was so accommodating – in truth, it was probably difficult to find anyone in Chuan City who could make these two individuals speak so humbly.

That they were so calm and collected with him was solely because of the issue with the herbal medicine.

He wasn’t concerned about the perceived value of the herbal medicine; he just feared the troubles that might arise if the treatment failed.

Boss Gu believed that Qi Qi’s improvement was linked to Spiritual Spring.

But just because it worked for Qi Qi, it didn’t guarantee it would work for this girl.

After all, so far, they had only given it to Qi Qi, a leukemia patient, and not to a second person.

To put it simply, it was like opening a store without having done a trial run.

"Don’t be nervous; it’s really not a big deal.

We understand that Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine.

Our traditional medicine values inheritance.

Some prescriptions have many rules, and not everyone can administer them.

If it’s inconvenient, it’s no issue; just pretend we never mentioned it, treat it as if you’re here for a simple meal, and don’t feel pressured," the elderly man said.

This old gentleman was very perceptive, both in speech and action.

Although he was not as direct as Wei Baoguo, the pressure he placed on Boss Gu was much greater.

At that moment, they didn’t even mention the matter, acting as though they were there for a normal meal.

The girl named Xiao Meng kept her head down, not daring to look up at Boss Gu.

Boss Gu understood what lay beneath her hat and why she felt as she did.

When he looked at her, he also felt a pang of sympathy; he wondered if he was ill himself.

For some reason, whenever he saw these young girls suffering from illnesses, he couldn’t help but think of his own Ping Ping.

Thinking about Ping Ping enduring such ordeals made his heart shatter.

So at this moment, Boss Gu felt very tender-hearted and also hoped that the young girl could recover soon.

Just then, Xiao Meng suddenly became incredibly irritable and, throwing down the tableware, she ran upstairs.

This inexplicable outburst left Boss Gu somewhat stunned, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

The woman saw Candy suddenly acting crazy and heading upstairs, her face full of concern.

"Xiao Meng! Xiao Meng!" she hurriedly chased after her up the stairs.

At this time, Wei Baoguo and the other two were also feeling worried and helpless.

"Ever since the child fell ill, she has become more and more reticent. At first, it wasn’t so bad, but as her condition worsened, she gradually became unable to face strangers.

Every time she encounters someone she doesn’t know, she often feels like she’s falling apart inside. She’s really suffering, and she doesn’t want to be like this."

Wei Baoguo understood why his granddaughter was acting this way, and he continued to explain to Boss Gu.

After hearing the explanation, Boss Gu realized what was happening.

Medically speaking, this should be called autism.

Many children with autism from birth are very scared when facing strangers and may even lack any social ability whatsoever.

But Xiao Meng’s situation was a case of autism that developed due to her illness.

This disease generally requires good psychological guidance from the parents, as well as addressing the root cause of the problem.

"Our whole family never expected that Xiao Meng would have such a disease.

For many years, all we wanted was for her to be safe and sound.

But the last time, the doctor said that her condition was getting more and more serious."

The old man also sighed, speaking with reluctance.

It goes without saying what it means for such a disease to grow more serious.

At this point, Boss Gu spoke up directly, "I can provide the Chinese medicine, but everyone should also mentally prepare themselves because it’s very possible that it might not work."

He had also agreed to take on this matter.

Not because of the pressure put on him by the two of them, but simply because he could not bear to watch such a young girl suffer.

Upon hearing Boss Gu’s words, their faces immediately brightened with joy.

"Boss Gu, we thank you so much. It was presumptuous of us to invite you over today, but we were really left with no choice.

After the matter is settled, no matter what the outcome, we will surely express our gratitude."

At that time, Wei Baoguo addressed Boss Gu directly.

Naturally, one does not help without expecting something in return, and they had no intention of letting Boss Gu exert himself without compensation.

Therefore, they had prepared some gifts to give to Boss Gu as a reward.

"Those things aren’t important. If it can help the child, that would be best," Boss Gu shook his head.

Boss Gu was not there to do business; he was simply moved by a sense of compassion.

Now that the meat in the bowl was edible, Boss Gu felt reassured.

The pressure he had been feeling a moment ago dissipated in an instant.

After finishing his meal and drink, Boss Gu had a few small drinks.

But the other two drank considerably more, although they did not get drunk.

"I’ll be leaving now. It’s still early, so I should be able to prepare a pot of medicine, and then I’ll bring it over," Boss Gu told them.

He didn’t want to waste too much time, as nobody knew when the disease might fully erupt.

The earlier, the better.

They didn’t stop Boss Gu, aware of what was more important.

"Tian Fu, go drive Boss Gu back home in person, ensuring his absolute safety!"
