Chapter 25 -24: My Benevolent Heart_1
Brothers Mei Hang and Mei Bin were oblivious to their grandpa’s sarcastic remarks, hence they displayed looks of bewilderment throughout the conversation. However, Mei Bao, the young girl, seemed to harbor a considerable interest towards Mu Lin.
Similar to Madame Mei, her curiosity towards Mu Lin, who was only a few years older than her, had been piqued thanks to her grandpa’s consistent lauding of Mu Lin these few days. The joy on his face whenever he talked about Mu Lin, filled her with intrigue and a touch of jealousy.
Honestly, she was kind of jealous.
Her grandpa had never been so fond of anyone before. Yet, upon meeting Mu Lin, she herself started to like her.
Inexplicably, she had a good impression of her from the moment she laid eyes on her.
Feeling the girl’s curious gaze from afar, Mu Lin looked at her and gave a nod before she continued eating.
Though it was nothing much, Mei Bao was startled and felt as though she had been unexpectedly favored.
Since Mu Lin’s arrival, besides her grandparents, none of them had gotten the chance to talk to her. Surprisingly, she looked right at her and even nodded.
If Mu Lin knew what was going through the girl’s mind right now, she would smile and tell her that it wasn’t because she wanted to look at her. It was more because… anyone would surely feel something when stared at so openly. The reason she returned the look was because, in the girl’s eyes, she could see not only curiosity but also kindness and delight.
Of course, there was another reason – she was also a girl.
That’s why she chose to respond politely.
After dinner, everyone sat on the couch, digesting their food and engaged in small talk.
Mu Lin initially wanted to leave but was forcefully persuaded to stay.
…
“Lass, I heard you’ve been upsetting quite a few patients recently,” a chuckling voice said with a hint of taking pleasure in her misfortune.
“Not at all,” Mu Lin responded, looking confused.
Mei Qingyuan was taken aback, “Are you sure?” These few days, he had heard quite a bit of gossip in the hospital.
However, there had been no complaints, this girl was quite impressive.
“There shouldn’t be.” Facing Mei Qingyuan, Mu Lin shook her head innocently, “If I’ve really upset the patients, then why is the entrance to my clinic still packed every day?” Every day she had to deal with a bunch of troublesome patients who, despite feeling unwell, refused to seek treatment elsewhere.
Mei Qingyuan was rendered speechless.
Indeed, even though Mu Lin only sees three patients a day and prefers intricate cases, it doesn’t stop the patients from trying their luck as the first thing they do in the hospital. They would rather wait to be chosen than seek early treatment, they felt helpless.
But he was really curious.
“Lass, why do you only see three patients a day?” Given Mu Lin’s abilities, she could easily handle thirty patients a day.
“It’s a rule I set for myself.” Three was already quite a lot, anymore would be troublesome.
“Physicians should have a heart of benevolence,” Mei Qingyuan said earnestly, looking at Mu Lin. He recalled her master, whose temperament was entirely different from hers. He used to help anyone in need.
As for the girl in front of him, was she not just being lazy?
“I do have a heart of benevolence.” Mu Lin’s face still held an innocent expression. See, she hasn’t poisoned anyone to death or used them as guinea pigs.
Mei Qingyuan would surely faint from shock if he knew what was going through Mu Lin’s mind at the moment.
Factually, ever since she came out, Mu Lin had stayed away from poison for quite some time.
Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, Mei Qingyuan was left speechless. On the other hand, Jing Chen felt that he somewhat understood Mu Lin’s thoughts and intentions.
Mu Lin was a poison doctor who had been living alone most of her life. She did not know what a doctor should do. She only knew to follow her own will.
In fact, he admired her quite a bit for being able to live this way.
Indeed, she was a poison doctor – devoid of medical empathy but possessed medical ethics. Just a pity that her decisions to treat a patient or not were based solely on her mood. The lives and deaths of her patients hung by a thread. One could not afford to offend such a person… or bear the consequences.
Of course, he would be an exception.
…
Mu Lin glanced at Jing Chen as if she could sense his thoughts, though she remained silent, quietly listening to an elder beside her explaining some principles.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
In fact, she understood all of this; she was just too lazy to practice them.
The reason being, it’s exhausting.
Having lived her life once for her master, she was now living for herself, other things didn’t matter.
When nearly everyone in the room was on the verge of falling asleep from the long-winded lecture, Mei Qingyuan could only let out a heavy sigh upon seeing Mu Lin’s calm and composed face.

“Forget it, I believe your master must have taught you all these principles in the past, so I won’t repeat them. I don’t wish to bore you with my ramblings,” he said eventually.
“Hmm.” Mu Lin nodded in agreement.
Her master did indeed teach her these things. No less than ‘N’ number of times, she had heard them so often that her ears were almost callused.
Mu Jue played an indispensable role in enabling Mu Lin to remain so calm and composed now.
Seeing Mu Lin’s swift nod and the look of conformation on her face, Mei Qingyuan barely managed to swallow a mouthful of old blood that was about to erupt.
“I didn’t say you were a bother, Elder Mei.” Really. Upon realizing her reaction, Mu Lin explained in a bland tone.
She seemed to have nodded too quickly just now.
Mei Qingyuan waved dismissively, “Nevermind, I know you didn’t mean it that way.”
If Mu Lin really felt that way, she wouldn’t be sitting here listening to his ramblings. He knew that she still respected him and Elder Zhou.
But.
“Lass, I was hoping to ask a favor of you in private, if you wouldn’t mind,” he said.
