Chapter 368 Stud

He took the three of them to various departments of the Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital to learn how to diagnose diseases using methods such as observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation. Professor Liao said, "The symptoms in the book may differ from the actual situation, and the treatment methods need to be constantly adjusted and updated in the process of diagnosis and treatment."

Song Tingnan felt her legs had become thin from running so much, but she felt very fulfilled. She didn't aspire to become a famous doctor or a resident physician, but she was no longer easily drugged. Spending so much time among Chinese herbal medicines had given her a keen sense of smell, and she could even concoct various kinds of minor poisons herself.

After graduation, Li Yuxuan and Jin Suoyin, the two senior students, will go to work at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. With the rapid effects of Western medicine and the introduction of various medical devices, Traditional Chinese Medicine is gradually declining. Professor Liao can be considered to have successors. As for Song Tingnan, Professor Liao knows that she is not interested in this. He understands that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also in flux. Even if she cannot become a doctor, Tingnan will definitely be able to put her studies to good use.

The three siblings have been getting along well for three years, discussing things together and helping each other.

"Junior sister, look at your senior brother, he's been so listless these past few days, did he break up with his girlfriend?" Li Yuxuan leaned over and whispered in Ting Nan's ear.

"Huh? Senior Brother is in love? Who is it?" Song Tingnan asked in surprise.

"Hey, I want to know too, why don't you go ask them?"

"You go!"

"You go!"

"You found it, you go!"

Jin Suoyin looked at the two shoving each other and said angrily, "Hey, do you two think I'm dead? Gossiping in front of me?"

"Uh... Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother said you broke up with your boyfriend, is that true?" Song Tingnan betrayed Li Yuxuan without any sense of loyalty.

"Losing my ass! Who was I dating again? Come on, Li Yuxuan, tell me quickly!" Jin Suoyin laughed angrily. He didn't even know he was dumped.

"Hehehe, senior brother, is it because your family is pressuring you to get married?"

"Am I that old? Why are you pressuring me to get married? You should focus on your career before starting a family, don't you know that?"

"Oh, you look so lifeless, I was worried about you."

"I……"

"What happened to you? Is there anything we can do to help?" Song Tingnan also came over.

Seeing the two of them looking at him with concern, Jin Suoyin's anger subsided by half. "It's nothing, just some family troubles."

"Oh, your family is local, then we won't pry into your family matters." Li Yuxuan quickly retreated. Although he was outgoing and gossipy, he knew how to keep his distance.

After a long pause, Jin Suoyin said, "Do you guys play cards? Do you know what 'Showdown' means?"

Li Yuxuan and Song Tingnan exchanged a glance and shook their heads; neither of them had ever encountered this before.

Jin Suoyin explained: "'Showdown' in poker refers to a game where players bet all their chips in one round. In poker, 'Showdown' means that players put all their chips (or 'hole cards') into a final bet to determine the winner."

My dad was a gambler. When my mom gave birth to me, he was at the gambling table and wouldn't come back no matter how much we called him. This made my mom very angry, and she suffered a severe hemorrhage after giving birth to me. Although she survived, I was her only child.

When my father returned, my grandfather gave him a beating. To appease my maternal grandmother's anger, they even threatened to kick him out of the house. Only when my father swore he would never touch a card again, or his hands and feet would rot, did everyone's anger subside. That's how I got my name; gambling leads to ruin and death, and the devaluation of wealth is just the tip of the iceberg.

What's bothering you right now?

"After my grandfather passed away, he reverted to his old ways and started sneaking off to gamble, hiding from my mother. My mother's health was already poor, and her temper and personality had become very strange. If she found out, the house would be in complete chaos. Sigh!"

"then what should we do?"

"I'm really disappointed in my dad, I wish I could chop off his hands."

“Chop off his hand, Senior Brother, I have a plan.”
