Chapter 59: Brother-in-Law is Truly a Miraculous Doctor-Chega de fingir! O médico imortal voltou e a ex-mulher chora implorando para reatar.(Li Tíngchēn)

Everyone in the Jiang family sensed that Lu Fan's attitude toward them had changed; he was no longer the endlessly patient, utterly subservient figure of the past.

The chill radiating from him was bone-chilling, leaving even Jiang Rushan too intimidated to utter a single reckless word.

For the past few days, his head had been splitting with agony, and Lu Fan was his only remaining hope.

Madam Jiang hurriedly handed over an MRI scan report. "Take a look. This shows the location and size of his brain tumor."

Without even glancing at it, Lu Fan said, "I know."

"What kind of doctor are you? Your eyes aren't medical instruments. Can you just imagine your way to diagnosing his illness?"

Jiang Ruxue pulled Madam Jiang back. "Mom, stop stirring up trouble. Lu Fan is the one who cured Lord Third Qin."

"Hmph, he'd better cure my son, or I won't let you off the hook!"

Too lazy to argue, Lu Fan produced a middle-grade medicinal pill. "Eat this."

Madam Jiang snatched it away. "What is this? What are you giving my son?"

"Middle-grade Return to Origin Pill."

Hearing the words "middle-grade," the entire family looked incredulous.

"Didn't you say you were out of pills?"

"Not having superior-grade doesn't mean I don't have middle-grade. Alright, take it first."

Without needing Madam Jiang to prompt him this time, Jiang Rushan swallowed it instantly.

The moment it entered his mouth, a refreshing coolness spread through him, as if a gentle warmth was radiating from his stomach through all his limbs and bones, relieving the vast majority of his pain.

Lu Fan took out his needles. "I am going to perform acupuncture now. Don't move; if you turn into an idiot, I won't be responsible."

Jiang Rushan's initial nervousness vanished completely after consuming the pill.

For the first time, he looked at Lu Fan properly, and with a strange sense of shock, he realized that Lu Fan was far more handsome than Shen Qianye.

It was just that in the past, he was always wearing an apron and holding a spatula, so not a single member of the Jiang family had ever bothered to look at him with respect.

Suddenly, Jiang Rushan felt a sense of reliable steadfastness emanating from him, as if as long as Lu Fan was here, any problem could be easily solved.

He was infinitely better than the all-talk Shen Qianye.

Jiang Ruxue felt a pang of worry, wondering if Lu Fan's physical strength could hold out, given that he was performing acupuncture on two people in such a short span of time.

She also noticed that Lu Fan was not just using ordinary silver needles; a wisp of white mist followed the tips of the needles as they pierced into Jiang Rushan's acupoints.

As the silver needles went in, the dull ache in Jiang Rushan's head gradually subsided, and his mind even felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

His brows slowly unknitted, and Madam Jiang asked tentatively, "Son, do you feel better?"

"Mom, my head doesn't hurt at all anymore! Brother-in-law is truly a miraculous doctor!"

Jiang Rushan blurted out, marking the very first time in five years that he had called Lu Fan brother-in-law.

Unfortunately, Lu Fan no longer cared for it.

"The pain is gone? That's wonderful, simply wonderful. I must go tell your grandfather and the others right away."

Feeling much more at ease, Madam Jiang relayed the news to Elder Jiang, who immediately asked, "You said Lu Fan produced another middle-grade pill?"

"Yes, it was a Return to Origin Pill. I heard that before, when he gave Lord Third a pill, that man was brought back from the brink of death. Perhaps the one he used then was a superior-grade Return to Origin Pill."

Elder Jiang stroked his cane. "This Lu Fan truly harbors deep secrets. He has possessed supreme-grade medicinal pills for years without ever slipping up."

Madam Jiang suddenly realized something as well. "Dad, I remember five years ago when the Jiang family went bankrupt and you fell gravely ill from rage. Later, after Lu Fan married Ruxue, your health miraculously recovered. Over all these years, you haven't even caught a minor cold. Could it be that Lu Fan secretly gave you those pills?"

Elder Jiang came to the same realization. "It was him! This brat actually kept it from us for so long. Had I known he was this capable, how could I have ever let him divorce Ruxue?"

"But we've broken Lu Fan's heart completely, and now his mind is made up. I'm afraid..."

The elder let out a cold snort. "Afraid of what? He cannot escape the palm of the Jiang family in this lifetime."

"He is born a member of the Jiang family, and even in death, he belongs to the Jiang family. Besides, who knows how many supreme-grade medicinal pills he's hiding? We must find an opportunity to make him hand them all over!"
