After listening to Mu Lin’s words and observing his sincere expression along with the pale and thin appearances of his two little granddaughters, Teacher Wang nodded helplessly. It was somewhat awkward for him to accept help from a child who previously needed his care. He felt both helpless and delighted inside, though his expression remained heavy.
Mu Lin had initially worried that Teacher Wang might refuse his offer out of pride. Now that the teacher had agreed, Mu Lin immediately stood up joyfully and said, “Great! Teacher Wang, I’ll call them right away to let them know, and ask them to send cars to help us move.”
“You don’t need to rush, do you?” Teacher Wang hesitated.
“Teacher Wang, if you were alone, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but you also have to take care of Jiajia and Nini. My clinic is quite large, and once we get there, there will be people to help you take care of them, which will make both of us feel more at ease,” Mu Lin pressed on, knowing exactly how to persuade the teacher.
“Alright then,” Teacher Wang reluctantly agreed.
Upon receiving Mu Lin’s call, Finney and the others immediately dispatched four vehicles: a luxurious Rolls-Royce, an extended Lincoln limousine, a high-end XF sedan, and a truck. Additionally, over a dozen bodyguards arrived in several U.S. military-style jeeps.
This odd convoy roared through the streets of New York, drawing a crowd of onlookers when it stopped on Mu Lin’s street. The bodyguards quickly took up defensive positions while their leader approached Mu Lin to report in.
Mu Lin hadn’t expected Finney and the others to go to such lengths. He hadn’t considered that, in his excitement, he had only mentioned that his Chinese master was coming and asked them to come help move things. Without specifying the number of people, Finney naturally assumed it was an entire family, which could include a dozen or more people, hence the four vehicles. The bodyguards were naturally there to protect the master.
Seeing the teacher’s displeased expression, Mu Lin quickly smiled apologetically and said, “Teacher, sorry, these people are all from the clinic, sent to help us move. It’s my fault for not explaining clearly on the phone—they’ve made a bit more of a fuss than necessary.”
Before Teacher Wang could respond, the two little girls had already jumped out excitedly to check out the cars. Now that they knew Mu Lin was their grandfather’s student, they no longer felt afraid of the people he had brought. Seeing so many cars arriving to pick them up for the move, they rushed out to admire the vehicles first. Imagining that they would soon be riding in such luxurious cars, they began cheering excitedly outside.
Hearing the girls’ joyful cheers, Teacher Wang could only helplessly shake his head and begin packing things with Mu Lin. Actually, the main items were medical books; everything else had already been loaded onto the truck. Knowing how sentimental elderly people could be, Mu Lin had everything moved without hesitation.
When they finally arrived at Mu Lin’s villa, Teacher Wang realized just how large this “small clinic” truly was. Even at the height of their family’s prosperity in China, they had never owned such a grand estate. Teacher Wang could only shake his head again, realizing that this little monkey had indeed grown up.
The cars drove straight into the villa’s main gate, approaching the main building. Seeing a group of people already waiting in front of the main building, Teacher Wang assumed that was everyone Mu Lin had. Thinking about how resourceful this kid was—building such a massive enterprise in just a few years—Teacher Wang couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Compared to his own struggles in Chinatown, he realized he would probably never be able to repay the debt he owed this student. His expression darkened slightly.
Finney and the others had already arranged for Teacher Wang’s family to stay in the main building, albeit on different floors from Mu Lin and the others. As the cars stopped, they stepped forward to greet the guests. The two little girls were the first to jump out of the car, but upon seeing the three beautiful, energetic young women approaching to welcome them, they shyly hid behind their grandfather, who had just stepped out.
Mu Lin treated Teacher Wang as family, so when the three women approached, he introduced them without hesitation: “Teacher, let me introduce them to you. This is Finney, this is Silvia, and this is Kelly. They’re all graduates from MIT and my senior classmates who now help me manage the clinic and the foundation. They’re also my girlfriends. Do you think they’re good enough for you?”
Finney and the others had come to greet Teacher Wang out of respect for Mu Lin and his teacher. However, they hadn’t expected Mu Lin to introduce them in such a direct manner, so they shyly lowered their heads, silently acknowledging the relationship.
Teacher Wang came from a prominent family and, in his youth, had been accustomed to men having multiple wives. Therefore, he wasn’t particularly concerned about the relatively recent one-man-one-wife policy in China. Seeing Mu Lin introduce three beautiful, modern Western girls who had graduated from prestigious universities as his girlfriends already surprised him. When he saw the three women silently confirming it, he couldn’t help but open his mouth wide in astonishment. He thought to himself, “This little monkey—others struggle to find even one girlfriend, but this kid, not even an adult yet, already has three foreign girls. Impressive!”
Pretending not to notice his teacher’s shock, Mu Lin immediately turned to Finney and asked, “Finney, have the accommodations and dinner for the teacher been arranged?”
Seeing Mu Lin’s question, Finney and the others quickly overcame their shyness and replied that everything had been prepared. Mu Lin then naturally led the teacher into the building, indicating that others would handle unloading the cars and organizing things.
Since getting out of the car, Wang Jia and Wang Ni had felt somewhat intimidated by the luxurious surroundings. Seeing the expressions on his granddaughters’ faces, Wang Shoushan naturally felt guilty and silently followed Mu Lin into the main building. After spending so much time with Mu Lin, Finney and the other three girls had become fluent in Chinese and were very familiar with Mu Lin’s gestures and expressions.
At a signal from Mu Lin, the three beautiful and clever girls immediately began engaging the two little girls. With deliberate friendliness, they soon had the two girls laughing and running off happily with them.
Thus, Teacher Wang, Mu Lin’s master, settled down at the clinic. The two little girls were also enrolled in new schools, completely relieving Teacher Wang of any worries.
Mu Lin did not immediately ask Teacher Wang to start treating patients because Teacher Wang specialized in herbal medicine, while the clinic primarily focused on acupuncture, with herbal treatments serving only as a supplementary method. Therefore, Mu Lin thoroughly explained the clinic’s treatment methods and his own ideas and environment to his teacher, naturally focusing only on traditional Chinese acupuncture. He also shared some acupuncture books he had collected during his travels, allowing Teacher Wang to improve his acupuncture skills. Naturally, with access to these secret techniques, Teacher Wang’s skills improved rapidly.
When Mu Lin introduced Teacher Wang to the VIP patients who came to the clinic, they were somewhat skeptical, as they had only seen Mu Lin’s abilities before. Originally, Mu Lin wanted to hand over the entire clinic to Teacher Wang, but the VIP patients strongly opposed the idea, and Teacher Wang himself firmly refused. With no choice, they had to adopt a compromise: after each patient consultation, Mu Lin would determine the treatment plan, and then Teacher Wang would perform the acupuncture treatment. This arrangement satisfied everyone. Thus, Teacher Wang became an acupuncture assistant at the clinic, replacing Mu Lin in handling some patients when he was away. For particularly difficult cases, Mu Lin himself still had to step in. This outcome was completely unexpected by anyone.
