Chapter 80: She Has Never Learned Medicine Before
Translator: Lordbluefire
There was nothing inscribed on the tablet before the cenotaph.
Chu Cichen stared at it. He then suddenly took out two incense sticks, lit them, and put them down in front of it.
His gaze was pitch-black.
People in their trade didn’t have names nor could they have one.
Therefore, even until her death, he didn’t know what her name was. He only knew her codename.
Other than him, probably no one in the world would remember her or give her offerings.

At night.
Shen Ruojing lay in bed with her arms crossed behind her head. Her legs were also crossed. At this moment, her peach blossom eyes were staring at the ceiling.
Hmm, in another two days, it should be her ‘death anniversary’, right?
She wondered if anyone in this world would remember her.
She then turned over and recalled how Chu Cichen’s emotions didn’t seem right. He was like a walking corpse, as if his soul had been drawn out by someone.
A moment later, she sat up and took out a bulky cell phone from her drawer. She then switched it on, logged into a WeChat account, and keyed in Chu Cichen’s number, sending him a friend request.
As for the verification message, she thought about it for a moment before eventually typing ‘Prof. Z’.
After sending out the verification message, she continued to wait for five minutes but didn’t receive his acceptance. She then tossed the phone back into the drawer, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.
The next morning, she was woken up by Jing Zhen’s laughter downstairs.
Today marked the start of a new month.
The songs that Yang Zhiqin and Jing Zhen had recorded previously were released. With Anonymous’s fame in addition to Yang Zhiqin’s popularity, the moment [Lone Silence] was released, a tremendous number of fans downloaded and purchased the song. [Lone Silence] then went straight up to first place on the rankings.
Jing Zhen’s song didn’t do bad either. [Life is a Game] was in fifth place.
The comments below were all praises for him.
——My god! To think that I became a fan of an uncle!
——Ahhh! Jing Zhen’s voice when singing low notes is so cool! I’m already playing it on repeat…
——Teacher Yang Zhiqin’s [Lone Silence] is really going to make me cry! I’m going to listen to [Life is a Game] to heal myself.
——Why have I only gotten to know about this precious actor and singer now? What was Royal Ocean Entertainment doing previously?
Jing Zhen’s popularity started to rise slowly and even the number of fans he had on Weibo was increasing.
…
…
The soundsystem downstairs was playing the song [Life is a Game]. At this moment, Jing Zhen followed behind Shen Qianhui, who was preparing breakfast, and asked, “Honey, do I sing better, or does Jin Chi`en sing better?”
Shen Qianhui replied, “I previously thought that Jin Chi`en sings well, but after listening to your song, I can’t stand listening to his song anymore!”
“I’m telling you, when we debuted as a duo in the past, he lost to me in all aspects. He was so angry…”
As the two of them spoke, Shen Ruojing came down, yawning.
Shen Qianhui called out to her. “Jingjing, I’ve done some studying. Our company’s celebrities can’t always be acting and singing. They have to attend variety shows too. Therefore, I plan on getting involved in variety shows. Do you think that this is plausible?”
“Sure, whatever.”
Shen Ruojing waved her hand and went outdoors to practice Taichi.
By the time she had gone through one round, Chu Yu had woken up too. Shen Ruojing brought him to have breakfast and then sent him to school.
After sending Chu Yu to school, she headed to the river to fish.
She sat down under the sunshade with her sunglasses on and had her legs crossed, looking very leisurely.
Shen Ruojing let out a sigh. (This is how the life of a retired slacker should be!)

However, Chu Cichen didn’t have it as easy as she did.
He went to the Chu Corporation early in the morning to take care of the piling documents. After returning home for lunch, he saw Chu Tianye running around crazily at home with Chuyu. Hence, he frowned slightly and said to the butler, “Make arrangements to send him to school.”
“Yes.”
After Chu Cichen had his lunch, he received Lu Cheng’s call. “Bro Chen, Sis Fang has gotten her hands on some effective medicine and is planning to send them over to Mr. Yun.”
Chu Cichen thought about it for a moment. “Mn, I’ll go over too.”
He only had a bit of food for lunch before heading off to the hospital.
At this moment, Lu Cheng and Fang Panxia were already in Yun Zhengyang’s ward.
Madam Yun stared at the medicine in Fang Panxia’s hand and asked, “Can this really cure Zhengyang’s illness?”
Fang Panxia nodded. “We developed this overseas and it’s currently in the experimental phase. It’ll take at least two years before it is released to the market. I’ve only managed to get my hands on this medicine in advance after contacting my teacher. It should be able to suppress the deterioration of Mr. Yun’s condition…”
There was a lot of medicine developed in pharmaceutical companies’ laboratories that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to get their hands on.
No matter how powerful the Yun Family was, they might not have heard of this study, so they couldn’t come into contact with it.
Therefore, Fang Panxia was indeed providing timely assistance this time around.
Since that was the case, Madam Yun accepted the medicine happily and held onto Fang Panxia’s hands. “Dr. Fang, we really have to thank you for this!”
“There’s no need to stand on ceremony,” Fang Panxia replied gently and politely. “You’re Bro Chen’s second aunt, so I naturally have to put in more effort in things concerning you. However, Mr. Yun’s condition is indeed very serious. Don’t worry, I’ll come every day to check on his indicators. I will also be able to give feedback on the data to the laboratory since you guys will be considered one of the participants for the clinical trial. Madam Yun, you won’t mind, right?”
“Of course not!”
As long as there was a ray of hope, they had to give things a try.
After Fang Panxia said that, she looked at the Chinese medicinal pills on the bedside table.
She frowned. “This is?”
Madam Yun hurriedly said, “Ruojing gave this to us. I don’t know where she got it from, but Zhengyang said that he felt much better after eating it. After taking it again yesterday, he seems to feel even better today…”
Fang Panxia said with a solemn expression, “Madam Yun, I suggest that when taking the laboratory’s medicine, you should stop taking other medicines. This is especially so for medicine that will make people feel comfortable after taking it. They usually contain an anesthetic component, which will definitely hinder the body’s absorption of our medicine. Moreover, I’ve seen Mr. Yun’s various indicators today. Actually, his condition is not getting better…”
Lu Cheng, who was at the side, leaned against the door. When he heard this, he said, “Chinese medicine is usually eaten for peace of mind. I don’t even know where she got the prescription from. Moreover, I’ve never heard of her learning medicine all these years. I hope that taking the medicine won’t cause any problems. Now that we have the medicine provided by Sis Fang that is from a proper laboratory, Madam Yun, why don’t you stop using Shen Ruojing’s medicine?”
Madam Yun looked at Yun Zhengyang.
Yun Zhengyang’s eyes flickered. “Alright, I’ll listen to Dr. Fang.”
Lu Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.
He couldn’t help but explain, “Shen Ruojing must have done this out of filial piety to Mr. Yun. Unfortunately, she used her good intentions in the wrong place. Don’t blame her.”
Madam Yun and Yun Zhengyang: “…”
Fang Panxia, who was standing at the side, paused slightly when she heard this.
When Chu Cichen arrived, the two of them had just left Yun Zhengyang’s ward and were about to visit Old Master Lu… After all, he was still hospitalized in the Orthopedics Department!
After hearing the two of them speaking of this, Chu Cichen said, “I’ll go with you guys!”
Although he was Lu Cheng’s superior, they had been friends for many years. It was only fitting for him to visit Lu Cheng’s father.
