Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 132

The speaker was a young man, wearing a black dovetail suit, a white s.h.i.+rt, and a black bow tie. These simple colors gave a serious impression. His face was chiseled with a distinctive moustache on his upper lip. Combined with his statuesque figure, he was the kind of man who would impress women at a glance.

Compared with him, Ning Tao was more energetic and amiable, but less serious and aristocratic.

The young man approached Ning Tao and Lin Qingyu with a faint smile and said, “I'm Tamao Takeda. May I have you name, Sir?”

He was s.h.i.+nsuke Takeda's son Tamao Takeda, the future successor of Takeda Biopharmaceutical Company.

A faint smile appeared on Ning Tao's lips and he replied, “I'm Ning Tao. Mr. Takeda. You speak good Chinese.”

Tamao Takeda replied, “I've loved your culture since I was a kid, and I've been learning about it. One of the historical figures I admire most is the monk Jianzhen. He brought us not only Buddhism, but also the most advanced technology of the time.”

Jianzhen was a famous monk in the Tang dynasty. He crossed to j.a.pan and did not succeed until the sixth time. He brought j.a.panese medicine, architecture, farming and other technologies, leaving a big mark on j.a.panese history. However, if he knew what kind of damage the nation he helped later brought to Hua Country, would he still have the determination to go to j.a.pan even if he was blind?

However, Ning Tao had to say that Tamao Takeda was very sociable. He could shorten the distance with the conversation object and leave a friendly impression on people with a few simple words.

Yet, for Ning Tao, he knew that the man was a “wolf', but appeared in front of him as a “deer” or a “horse”. Of course, he didn't have any liking for Tamao Takeda. On the contrary, he even developed a slight dislike for him. “I'm sorry, Mr. Takeda, I don't know much about that history,” he stated lightly. “Miss Lin and I have some important things to deal with. Goodbye.”

Lin Qingyu gave him a polite smile, held Ning Tao's arm and left. It was an obvious behavior between lovers. She did it naturally, regardless of Ning Tao's feelings and willingness.

The smile on Tamao Takeda's lips had gone. There was a chill in his eyes, making him look scary.

How dare an unknown young man from Hua Country ignore him?

He was the eldest son of the Takeda family, the heir to Takeda Biopharmaceutical Company, with a doctorate in biology from Harvard and a black belt in karate. In j.a.pan, he was known as G.o.d's favored one. In this inland city that was not developed in his opinion, he came off the high horse to show friendly to Ning Tao, but Ning Tao ignored him!

Actually, it was just his personal feeling. The son of a big family, the heir to a big company, and the Harvard doctor of biology were not worth mentioning in front of Ning Tao who was the owner of the Sky Clinic. Which family was greater than the ways of Heaven? Which big pharmaceutical company could compete with the Sky Clinic? Whose knowledge and skills of a doctor in biology could match his skill of refining elixir? Nothing could beat him, so Tamao Takeda was not in a position to pretend to be powerful in front of Ning Tao.

“Qingyu! Stop!” Lin Donghai's voice rang out.

Lin Qingyu's brow suddenly drew together, and she stopped.

Lin Donghai came out of the door, with a sullen face, and snapped, “Qingyu, where are you going?”

Lin Qingyu nervously replied, “I, I… have something urgent. Brother Ning came to pick me up. We…”

“Shut up!” Lin Donghai yelled at Lin Qingyu, then looked at Ning Tao and said, “It's you again. You cheeky man! Why do you keep pestering Qingyu?”

Ning Tao felt uncomfortable about his words, but Lin Donghai was the father of Lin Qingyu and Lin Qinghua, so he could not scold Lin Donghai as a fool.

Lin Qingyu got angry in tears. “Dad! What are you talking about? I asked Brother Ning to come over! You're being unreasonable!”

“How dare you speak to me like that?” Lin Donghai was shocked by his daughter's tone.

Lin Qingyu threw it out. “I'm a human being, an adult, not your puppy that can do what you want! I have my own feelings, and I have the right to pursue happiness!”

“You…” Lin Donghai's lips trembled with anger. He froze, and then covered his heart, looking miserable and about to fall.

Tamao Takeda came to him to hold Lin Donghai and solicitously said, “Mr. Lin, are you all right?”

“Dad!” Lin Qingyu was worried and ran to Tamao Takeda immediately.

“You, you go away,” Lin Donghai cried in a trembling voice. “Do you still care about me? I have a heart problem, but you, you p.i.s.s me off. Do you want me to die?”

“I…” Lin Qingyu felt sad but did not know what to say. She really wanted to leave with Ning Tao, but in such a situation, as a daughter, how could she leave regardless of her father? If she did that, she couldn't forgive herself. She looked at Ning Tao and was full of guilt.

However, Ning Tao was quite calm, because in his eyes, Lin Donghai's body was surrounded by a ma.s.s of colorful innate aura, and his heart was alive without any problems.

It turned out Tamao Takeda was acting!

Lin Donghai looked at Ning Tao and said, “What are you still doing here? Get out of here. I don't want to see you!”

“Calm down, Mr. Lin. I'll call an ambulance for you,” Ning Tao said, actually pulling out his cell phone to call emergency services.

Lin Donghai almost fainted with anger.

Tamao Takeda suggested, “Mr. Lin, the consulate has an infirmary, with good doctors and regular medications. Why don't you go to the infirmary and get some treatment?”

“Okay, thank you.” Lin Donghai then turned to Lin Qingyu and ordered, “Help me in.”

Lin Qingyu was reluctant to go back, but Lin Donghai said he had a heart condition and it would be unfilial if she didn't listen to her father.

Just when she was in a dilemma, Tamao Takeda suddenly said, “Mr. Ning, I'd like to invite you to our party again. Would you like to come in?”

Lin Qingyu looked at Ning Tao for help.

Seeing Lin Qingyu's look, Ning Tao accepted the invitation. He nodded and said, “I'd like to. Thank you.”

Lin Donghai's lips moved. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't. This was the j.a.panese consulate. Tamao Takeda was in charge, not him. Tamao Takeda invited Ning Tao to the party as the host, but as a guest, he was not qualified to drive Ning Tao away.

Lin Donghai glared at Ning Tao as he walked toward the door, with an unhappy look.

Lin Qingyu smiled, but Lin Donghai saw her smile and shot a warning glare at her, so she broke off her smile.

“Please.” Tamao Takeda made a very standard gesture of invitation and went ahead to lead the way.

Lin Qingyu helped Lin Donghai into the door, and Ning Tao followed them into the consulate.

When entering the door, Ning Tao suddenly looked at the main building of the consulate. For a moment, he noticed a figure flashed and then disappeared. But he wasn't nervous at all, because it was Yin Molan, a special agent of the Ming dynasty.

“What do we need to do to stop you from pestering Qingyu?” Entering the consulate, Lin Donghai shook Lin Qingyu's hand and questioned Ning Tao.

Ning Tao said, “I don't mind what you did because you are an elder, Qinghua and Qingyu's father, but if you step in, you will know that there is a limit to my tolerance.”

“You…” Lin Donghai was shocked. He had no idea Ning Tao would say that to him.

In fact, he dared to treat Ning Tao badly because he was Lin Qingyu's father, and Ning Tao liked his daughter. He unconsciously thought of himself as Ning Tao's “father-in-law”, but he didn't even realize it. That was why he had such a strong reaction—how dare you say that to me before you got my daughter!

Ning Tao leaned into Lin Donghai's ear and added, “I understand how you feel as a father trying to protect your daughter. If I have a daughter in the future, I don't want her to be taken in by a bad guy, but you are clearly wrong about the person.”

Lin Donghai started slightly, and for a moment, he looked strange.

Tamao Takeda walked up the steps and made another gesture of invitation, saying, “This way, please.”

Although Lin Qingyu and Lin Donghai knew where to go, he still led the way politely. From this alone it was not difficult to tell that he was a very traditional j.a.panese. There were few young people like him in j.a.pan now. Between bus.h.i.+do spirit and anime, most j.a.panese youth chose the latter.

Entering the consulate lobby, they walked down a corridor to a multipurpose restaurant. The restaurant was s.p.a.cious, with not only a j.a.panese dining area, but also a stage area for performances. When Ning Tao took off his shoes and went in, a j.a.panese geisha in kimono was performing shamisen, and the geisha's face was quite white and her lips were pretty red, looking special.

A dozen people sat at a large table in the dining area. s.h.i.+nsuke Takeda and Crewe Arthur, and a few people of the consulate all sat on the same side, wearing traditional kimonos and could be instantly recognizable as j.a.panese.

On the other side of the big table sat several Hua Country people, including Lin Qingyu's mother Fang Meiling, the mayor of Shan City Hu Jilu, and several other important government figures.

Once Ning Tao went in, everyone's eyes focused on him except for the geisha who was playing the shamisen. There was a little surprise and confusion in their eyes. Probably everyone except Fang Meiling was wondering who the new guest was.

Fang Meiling glared at Ning Tao. If she hadn't had to act appropriately on such an occasion, she would probably have questioned Ning Tao.

“I'd like to introduce you to a new guest. This is Ning Tao, Mr. Ning.”

As Tamao Takeda spoke the name, Crewe Arthur's face changed. He stared at Ning Tao, as if to confirm something. Then he whispered something into the ear of s.h.i.+nsuke Takeda who sat next to him.

s.h.i.+nsuke Takeda's eyes fell on Ning Tao again with a sharp look.

Ning Tao noticed what they did, but kept his face impa.s.sive. Then he smiled and said, “h.e.l.lo, everyone. Sorry to interrupt you.”
