This made Lin Jie furious. The person shouting nonsense was none other than Luo Shanshan's brother, Luo Pengyi! Facing the strange looks from those around him, Lin Jie angrily said, "Luo Pengyi, if you keep talking nonsense..."

Someone acted even more decisively than Lin Jie; Lin Miao stepped forward and suddenly delivered a vicious kick.

This kick was so sudden that Luo Pengyi couldn't dodge in time. He barely managed to twist his body a bit so that Lin Miao's foot landed on his thigh.

Although Lin Miao was wearing sandals, the heels were quite high, about four or five centimeters!

Her kick landed firmly on Luo Pengyi's upper thigh with a thud, and it grazed a crucial area nearby.

Luo Pengyi immediately knelt on the ground, clutching the attacked area, gasping in pain and unable to speak.

The counterforce from the kick was a bit strong, and Lin Miao also felt unsteady, taking two steps back and nearly falling, but Lin Jie managed to catch her just in time.

Lin Miao straightened up, her face flushed with anger, and said, "Brother, when dealing with someone who talks crap like that, just beat them so they can't take care of themselves."

Lin Jie was well aware of the fierce side of Lin Miao.

Even though their backgrounds and circumstances were sympathetic, there were always some brats who found joy in bullying them. Lin Miao was their go-to for dealing with such situations!

In the past few years, she had broken several of the white canes she carried with her.

Lin Jie held back Lin Miao, who wanted to kick Luo Pengyi a few more times, and said to Luo Pengyi, who had caught his breath, "How are you feeling?"

Luo Pengyi, drenched in sweat, propped himself up on the ground, not daring to straighten his body. He bent over and said, "You vicious girl, you're truly ruthless. If I'm messed up, you have to be responsible for a lifetime."

Lin Miao snorted and disdainfully said, "Wishful thinking. My brother's medical skills are great, even if you're broken, he can fix you!"

Luo Pengyi looked at Lin Jie with a bit of annoyance and said, "What are you waiting for? For my sister's sake, help me back to the hotel room first."

"He's Dr. Luo Shanshan's brother; we can't go too far!"

Lin Jie quietly explained this to Lin Miao, then went forward to support Luo Pengyi.

Just then, the elevator doors opened again, and someone Lin Jie recognized stepped out—Dr. Chen Qiuhua from Binhai Tongren Hospital.

Seeing Lin Jie, Lin Miao, and Luo Pengyi, Dr. Chen was taken aback for a moment, then went forward to support the other side of Luo Pengyi, asking with concern, "Pengyi, what happened to you?"

"You know each other?" Lin Jie was quite surprised.

Chen Qiuhua nodded and said, "When I was studying at the Medical College in the United States, Luo Pengyi was in high school there. I was his tutor."

Lin Jie was somewhat enlightened and briefly explained what had just happened.

Chen Qiuhua chuckled and said, "Luo Pengyi does have a sharp tongue and doesn't always watch what he says, but he has a good heart. Let's go, we'll help him back to the room to check on him!"

"Yeah, and congratulations on your sister regaining her sight smoothly!"

Luo Pengyi had booked a long-term luxurious suite at the Binhai Holiday Hotel!

Once in the room, Lin Jie instructed Lin Miao to get some ice from the floor's ice machine, and he conducted an examination on Luo Pengyi.

There was an obvious heel mark on Luo Pengyi's upper thigh, already bruised and elevated a few millimeters compared to the surrounding skin. The critical area that was grazed also showed some bruising.

The sight made Lin Jie have a clearer understanding of Lin Miao's combat power, realizing that this little girl had indeed held back a lot with him in the past.

He smiled and said, "Apply an ice pack, it'll be fine after a day. If you want to recover faster, I can help relieve the bruising."

Luo Pengyi shook his head vigorously and said, "No thanks, I don't trust you. If you sneak in a deep cut, I'll be bedridden."

He looked at Chen Qiushi and said, "Brother Chen, you give me the treatment."

Chen Qiushi nodded humorously!

At this time, Lin Miao returned with some crushed ice in an ice bucket!

Lin Jie wrapped some in a towel and handed it to Luo Pengyi, who applied it to the injured area.

Chen Qiushi found a needle from the hotel's sewing kit, after simple disinfection, he pricked the blue-purple areas a few times and expelled the clotted blood.

By now, Lin Jie had learned that Luo Pengyi had arranged to have dinner with Chen Qiushi at a French restaurant.

With Chen Qiushi's mediation, the Lin siblings and Luo Pengyi managed to resolve their grudges.

To apologize, Luo Pengyi canceled the two-seat reservation at the French restaurant and ordered room service for four, having them bring the food to the room.

This opportunity to feast on a free authentic French meal was something Lin Jie and Lin Miao naturally couldn't refuse, nor did they hold back.

With Shen Lanruo's guidance, Lin Jie ordered appetizers, soup, main courses, and desserts for both himself and Lin Miao! Smoked salmon, Marseille fish soup, French cheese escargot, charcoal-grilled sirloin steak with black truffle foie gras, French red wine stewed chicken, ice cream, among others, were all specialties in French cuisine.

Luo Pengyi, who initially intended to mock them, was surprised to see how professionally Lin Jie ordered. He curled his lips and jested, "I didn't expect you, a country bumpkin, to know so much. Haven't you been watching food programs to relieve your cravings?"

Just as Lin Jie was about to retort, Chen Qiushi's face turned stern, and he said, "Luo Pengyi, you're not a kid anymore, why don't you know how to behave? If it weren't for your father's money and connections, do you have anything worth showing off?"

The words were harsh, but unexpectedly, instead of showing anger or shame, Luo Pengyi accepted the criticism and even apologized to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie pondered that the relationship between Chen Qiushi and Luo Pengyi was indeed unusual!

Chen Qiushi suddenly asked, "Lin Jie, your medicine should be finished, right? Why haven't you come to my place this month to get more?"

This question reminded Lin Jie about the anti-rejection medication, and he replied hastily, "I had some leftover, so I haven't finished them yet. I'll come to get more in some time."

Currently, his medication dosage had reduced to half of the standard dosage, and under Shen Lanruo's monitoring, no adverse reactions had been found yet.

Lin Jie was eagerly looking forward to further reducing the dosage until it reached zero.

This French meal lasted nearly three hours!

During the meal, they mostly discussed matters related to hospitals, clinics, and Zhujia Port. Lin Jie also noticed that Chen Qiushi knew quite a lot about Zhujia Port and even voluntarily brought up the amusing story of Zhu Ziwen and Wen Qin swallowing a light bulb.

Lin Jie also received a request from Chen Qiushi to help translate a newly published German medical book.

The posts he originally had on related translation websites or forums had long disappeared.

However, now he no longer cared for the thousands of unstable income.

This month, Lin Jie received a payment of 40,000 from Hu Yuanqing and another 30,000 from Luo Shanshan, which constituted his monthly fixed income.

The highest priority in their monthly fixed expenses was the tonic traditional Chinese medicine he and Lin Miao took, which was about 16,000 to 17,000 per month, plus car fuel and maintenance costs, food expenses, and so on, totaling around 20,000 to 30,000 per month.

They now owned a luxurious apartment of their own, and with over seven million in cash in their bank account, they were no longer in a phase where money was a concern.

When Lin Jie and Lin Miao returned home, after chatting for a while, it was already past eleven. As they were preparing to wash up and rest, the doorbell suddenly rang urgently.
