The moment Jiang Mengou entered, there's a heavy amount of perfume permeating from her. Furthermore, Su Tao noticed that her hand was sweaty when they shook hands earlier, and in addition to looking at the complexion of her skin, Su Tao instantly figured out that Jiang Mengou had a condition with odour coming from her foot since people with bad foot odour would have a yellowish and haggard complexion.

Foot odour wasn't a huge problem since it's due to the developed sweat glands in the foot. Even an ordinary person that wears a non-ventilating shoe for a day would have an odour. However, Jiang Mengou's foot odour has reached an exaggerated level. Otherwise, she wouldn't wear such clumsy-looking shoes in summer. But even so, she was still worried that her foot odour might spread, which was why she sprayed so much perfume on herself.

An ordinary person would spray their perfume on their upper body, while Jiang Mengou sprayed it on her lower body.

Since ancient times, there were innumerable people suffering from foot odour, and most of them were inherited; something that they possessed when they were born since their sweat glands were more developed. Aside from that, it could also be acquired due to hygiene and cleanliness by contacting fungus.

Generally speaking, acquired foot odour could be alleviated through treatment, while innate foot odour was slightly troublesome.

Foot odour was similar to body odour. For the latter, it's because of the developed underarm sweat glands, and the treatment for it was to remove the sweat glands. But it's a different case for the foot. After all, you couldn't possibly remove the sweat glands on your foot, right?

One of the reasons why Jiang Mengou was so troubled by her condition was because of her status. Not only was she a woman, but she's also the founder of the White Gull Corporation, and it would make her a joke of the century if news got out that she had foot odour. Thus, she had been secretly receiving treatment for it. Another reason was that she has tried many western medicine treatments for her foot odour, and they only manage to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Even if her foot odour would momentarily disappear, it would still come back as time passed; hence, she had a strong reliance on perfume.

After taking her pulse, Su Tao was even more certain, so he said, "I wasn't wrong! Aunt Jiang's condition is on her foot, and mainly due to moisture being trapped in her spleen and stomach where the heat goes down and her meridians are clogged. So treatment-wise, we can opt to clear her internal heat."

Seeing that Jiang Mengou frowned without replying, Qin Meimei misunderstood that the former couldn't understand Su Tao's words and knitted her brows. "Can you say it in a way that all of us understand?"

Waving his hand, Su Tao smiled. "I've already described it clearly. Aunt Jiang, you should know what I'm talking about, right?"

Jiang Mengou knew that Su Tao was keeping it a secret for her, which she gently sighed and bitterly smiled, "Little Su is right, my condition is with my foot. Actually, it's nothing profound, it's just foot odour."

Hearing her words, both Qin Meimei and Lu Shimiao widened their mouths from the shock they just received.

Shaking his head, Su Tao sighed, "There are many reasons that can lead to foot odour. Some people got it because of their poor hygiene, while some people are infected with fungus. For Aunt Jiang's case, yours is an innate condition. While the heavens are fair, they're also unfair at the same time, so some people are destined to be born with some ailments. Your foot can be easily treated, but you will need time for your heart to recover."

Wearing a wry smile, Jiang Mengou understood some of Su Tao's words and replied, "I never expected that your observation would be this so good!"

"Aunt Jiang, you must have received a relationship blow when you were young, this is the reason why your foot odour wasn't recovering and got worse instead." Su Tao continued.

As Jiang Mengou's face froze, she sighed with complicated emotions, "What makes you say that?"

"The sky represents Yang, while the earth represents Yin; men represent Yang, while women represent Yin. If you have a partner to balance the Yin and Yang in your body, your condition will slowly get better even without any medicine. As for the reason why it slowly became more serious, it's because you do not have a method to balance the Yin and Yang in your body." Su Tao did not blatantly say it out loud.

Pulling Su Tao, Qin Meimei smiled. "Earth to Su Tao! Speak human language here please!"

"Putting it in a nutshell, if you have a passionate love, your foot odour would've recovered by now." Su Tao initially did not want to clearly say it out loud since it concerned the deed between men and women, and ordinary people would be embarrassed about it.

Hearing those words, Jiang Mengou's face alternated between red and white, but she wasn't bashful about it. After all, she's an experienced woman, and she would only exclaim at Su Tao's medical skills.

After Su Tao took Jiang Mengou's pulse, he obtained a shocking outcome. Although she's already in her fifties, she's still a virgin. Furthermore, there seemed to be a knot in her heart, which Su Tao deduced that she must have been wounded by a relationship in the past that she still hasn't gotten over.

Aside from taking medicine, foot odour could also be treated with the deed between men and women. It's just like some patients suffering from acne issues where they gradually recover from after marriage. Although it's a different approach, it still obtains the same result.

Qin Meimei was swift, which she smiled upon hearing Su Tao mentioning this topic. "Aunty, the meaning behind Su Tao's words is clear. He's asking you to find a partner and get married."

Letting out a long sigh, Jiang Mengou wryly smiled. "I couldn't find one when I was young, and I'm already getting on my age, so how am I going to find a suitable partner?"

Immediately waving her hand, Qin Meimei replied, "Didn't Su Tao fail to tell your true age even despite his brilliant observation skills?"

"I'm already indifferent about it. Rather than finding someone that I'm not in love with, I would rather spend the rest of my time on earth alone. Not only would I be free, but it's also less vexing." Jiang Mengou bitterly smiled.

Seeing that Jiang Mengou's opinion was somewhat extreme, Su Tao smiled. "Nature created male and female. This is a form of balance, and the lack of one will result in the extinction of an entire species. It's a natural cycle of life for males to seek females."

Thereafter, he took out his medical box and swiftly wrote down a prescription for Jiang Mengou before he instructed, "Follow according to this prescription and take it twice a day."

"No acupuncture is needed? Just taking medicine will do?" Qin Meimei asked, curiously.

Nodding his head, Su Tao explained, "Aunt Jiang's condition originates from her spleen and stomach, so this prescription can nurture both her spleen and stomach. As long as her spleen and stomach are treated, her foot odour will disappear. Although those medicines she took previously might be effective, the cause for it wasn't found, so even if those medicines can effectively get rid of the foot odour for a period, it will still return since the root wasn't treated."

For physicians, they emphasize accuracy and precision when treating patients.

Accuracy meant the accurate detection of illnesses and discovering the cause of it, while precision meant the medicine used to target the cause and resolve the illness.

Cautiously receiving the prescription, Jiang Mengou smiled. "Thank you for this."

"Aunty, the Qihuang Charity Funds needs your help. As you can see, our president might be young, but he's a capable physician. With him bearing the banner, we will definitely develop further in the future to show warmth and help for those in need."

Sourly glancing at Qin Meimei, Jiang Mengou snapped, "I got it! I'll get my secretary to contact you guys tomorrow. As for the contribution funds, it's not something that can be determined by me alone. I have to host a director's meeting on this matter."

Waving her hand, Qin Meimei smiled. "I've already investigated that the White Gull Corporation spends ¥200,000,000 on charity events annually. Rather than giving that money to those organisations that are lacking in conscience and throwing that money into the sea, I would rather you give it to me. We can guarantee that the money will be used efficiently and appropriately."

"You're really eloquent. I initially wanted you to help me out in the White Gull Corporation since you left Li Yede's company, but I never expected that you would choose to join a charity organisation. There's a huge controversy in this field, and the future isn't exactly bright." Jiang Mengou sighed as she bitterly smiled.

Jiang Mengou naturally knew that this niece of hers was talented in management, which she was intending to have Qin Meimei as her heir since she didn't have any children. However, Qin Meimei turned her down since the latter was clearly not someone who would reap without sowing.

Placing a meatball on Jiang Mengou's plate, Qin Meimei smiled. "Don't worry about it. Under the leadership of our President Su, the Qihuang Charity Funds will definitely grow into an organisation like the Red Cross."

Taking a deep glance at Su Tao, Jiang Mengou's heart was bright. Although this seemed like an ordinary meal, it made her feel as if she has received a new life.

The dishes were swiftly served and the three of them briefly drank with Qin Meimei acting as the middleman. The atmosphere in this meal was great so Su Tao mainly took the role of a listening ear and focused on eating. However, he suddenly frowned. He felt someone kicking him under the table.

Sweeping his sharp gaze on everyone, he ultimately paused on Qin Meimei for a long time. After all, Qin Meimei had the highest suspicion of being someone who would make such a daring move during a meal.

But all of a sudden, Jiang Mengou coughed as she stood up. "Pardon me, I have to visit the bathroom!"

When Jiang Mengou left, Su Tao instantly realised that the one who gave him the signal wasn't Qin Meimei, but Jiang Mengou.

He speculated that Jiang Mengou probably had some things that she would like to speak with him about privately. As he headed to the bathroom, he saw Jiang Mengou waving her hand in his direction.

"Physician Su, please be honest with me. Do I have other issues aside from foot odour?" Jiang Mengou asked in a grave tone.

Shaking his head, Su Tao comforted, "You do have some anxiety disorder, but it was also related to your foot odour."

"What makes you say that?" Jiang Mengou asked, baffled.

"Because of your foot odour, it caused your confidence to be lacking. Although you're outstanding in the eyes of others, you still feel inferior in your heart. So as time passes, you will start to develop an anxiety disorder such as sleep disorder, which you would often be startled awake. At the same time, there will also be a barrier with your social interactions, such as how you're afraid of marriage…" Su Tao smiled as he encouraged, "When your foot odour is gone, I suggest that you should try and be involved in a passionate relationship."

"Thank you for your encouragement!" Jiang Mengou sighed as her brows loosened up.

Su Tao had an accurate analysis of Jiang Mengou's character. The latter might seem to be a confident woman, but she's extremely fragile in her heart due to her innate condition. Hence, she lost the confidence to interact with the opposite sex, and this was also the reason why she's still a virgin.

However, Su Tao believed that it could be easily resolved after she has been treated.
