As the three walked, they passed a crowd standing and waiting for the famous doctor.
Liu Peinan said to a short elderly man in his sixties, "Dad, I'll take Dr. Lu in to have a look first."
The elderly man didn't have time to respond.
Another elderly man, roughly sixty-four or sixty-five, said, "Hmm, be a bit quick. Dr. Philip Hunch will come over later, and he doesn't have much time to stay."
Liu Peinan seemed helpless and could only reply, "Okay, Uncle."
Liu Peinan's father looked at Lu Li and Peng Erping, and smoothed things over by saying, "It's okay, take your time. At worst, we'll let Dr. Philip Hunch wait a bit, it's not like we can't afford the house call fee."
Only then did Liu Peinan smile, "Got it, Dad."
Liu Peinan's father seemed to know Peng Erping, then turned to Lu Li, smiled, and said, "Dr. Lu, sorry to trouble you."
Lu Li knew he was just being polite, but the other's attitude was indeed very pleasant.
