Chapter 232: Chapter 231: So old and still afraid of needles?_1

Old Master Qi was unaware that his phone call not only deprived him of the chance to formally meet his daughter-in-law but also earned him the label of a stubborn old man.

If he’d known this, he would’ve held his tongue, even if it killed him!

Of course, that was an afterthought.

Just as Yan Ling hung up with Qi Yunjue, Old Master Qi walked in from outside.

Although Old Master Qi was old, his eyes were sharp. He immediately noticed that his eldest grandson had just been on the phone with Yan Ling.

Was that little rascal speaking ill of him behind his back?

A shiver ran down Old Master Qi’s spine as he cautiously asked Yan Ling, "Who were you on the phone with, girl?"

Without thinking much, Yan Ling replied, "Just a friend."

Old Master Qi probed further, "What did you talk about? You don’t look so good."

"Not much. I just found out that my friend’s grandfather, fresh out of a serious illness, didn’t stay home to rest but went out for tea instead. As a doctor, my least favorite type of patient is the one who doesn’t care about his own life, so I got a bit angry!"

Old Master Qi: ...

This friend’s grandfather, couldn’t be him, could it?

Inside, Old Master Qi cursed his vindictive grandson while forcing a smile, "Perhaps your friend’s Grandfather has a strong constitution, just having some tea is no big deal..."

Yan Ling disagreed, "An old man over eighty, unless he’s feigning illness, should not even think of going out for tea let alone without someone to accompany him after a serious illness!"

Old Master Qi: ...

He was indeed feigning illness!

Old Master Qi wanted to continue defending himself, but as luck would have it, Elder Ling woke up.

Seeing himself covered in silver needles, Elder Ling almost fainted again.

Fortunately, Yan Ling was prepared and quickly removed all the needles before he could pass out.

After the needles were removed and the numbness gradually subsided, Elder Ling’s face turned pale from the pain!

He pointed at Yan Ling, trembling, "Young lady, you have no honor!"

She had said she wouldn’t use needles on him.

But she not only knocked him out with needles,

She turned him into a hedgehog!

This was outrageous!

If it weren’t for the pain in his legs, Elder Ling would have gotten up in anger!

Wait a minute...

His leg was in pain?

He could feel pain in his leg!

Realizing that his leg, which had been numb for years, had regained sensation, Elder Ling stopped blaming Yan Ling.

"Can your Acupuncture Technique really cure my leg?"

Elder Ling was somewhat skeptical, if acupuncture could cure him, hadn’t he been paralyzed in vain for years?

"It can cure, but you have a fear of needles. I can’t always knock you out for treatment, can I?"

At first, Yan Ling wasn’t sure why Elder Ling’s leg had ended up like this.

Seeing his reaction just now, she finally got it!

It turned out to be—Fear of needles!

No wonder he hadn’t been getting better after such a long time of treatment!

Elder Ling hadn’t expected his long-hidden secret would be exposed just like that.

He was both annoyed and embarrassed.

Looking at Elder Ling’s frustrated face, Old Master Qi said solemnly, "Elder Ling, you’re too careless! How can you ignore your illness for the sake of face, even to the point of disregarding your paralyzed legs? It’s just a fear of needles. My great-granddaughter also has a fear of needles, haha... Don’t get me wrong, I’m laughing at a funny joke I just thought of, not at you for acting like a child afraid of needles!"

Elder Ling: "..."

Was it too late to silence him now?

Yan Ling, not wanting to see Elder Ling be laughed at anymore, tried to salvage the situation: "There’s nothing wrong with being afraid of needles. According to medical statistics, one out of a hundred thousand people has a fear of needles. As long as you actively cooperate with the treatment, you can get better!"

Elder Ling: "..."

That sounded just like she hadn’t said anything at all.

He had lost his legs because of the fear of needles, how could he possibly want to cooperate with treatment?
