Jiang Nuan smiled and said, "I went to learn."
The old man's face instantly lit up with a smile, fully approving of her idea, "You really should go out and learn, you are still young."
"I've already come back from studying and don't plan on going back. I've opened a wellness center on Food Street and need some medicinal herbs. I've brought the prescription, so you can go and prepare them first."
Jiang Nuan handed him the list.
The old man nodded with a smile, "Master, please wait a moment!"
The old man happily went to prepare the herbs. Jiang Nuan sat down by the door. She hadn't slept well, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes, which were more noticeable against her fair skin.
Her phone suddenly rang. Jiang Nuan picked it up and saw it was Mu Jiu Chen.
"What do you want?" Her voice was listless and displeased, as if Mu Jiu Chen had disturbed her.
Mu Jiu Chen, who was already in a bad mood, heard this and his expression suddenly darkened. "Didn't you say you would come to my place to look at my hand this morning? Why aren't you here yet?"
Jiang Nuan was stunned. She had forgotten about it.
The master was angry!
No, he had been angry since yesterday afternoon and hadn't spoken to her since.
"Ninth Master, I'm here to buy medicinal herbs. I'll go to your place after this. No, I don't even know where you live. Are you going to the company? If you're going to the company, I'll come to the company to find you."
Mu Jiu Chen said coldly, "Come to my place. I'll send you the address later." Then he hung up the phone.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
His temper was truly unbearable.
Jiang Nuan also hung up the phone huffily. If he hadn't saved her, she wouldn't tolerate his infernal temper.
Jiang Nuan wiped her face. Her un-made-up skin looked even more tender and fair.
Why did she owe him a life? It was all Number One's fault.
Jiang Nuan closed her eyes and stood up abruptly. The old man, who had returned with the herbs, appeared before her with a smile, startling her and making her step back.
"Master, the herbs are ready. The wellness center is on Food Street, right? When will it open?" the old man asked with a smile.
Jiang Nuan didn't hide anything from him, "It opens on Friday."
"Good, good, good. Master, I've noted it down. I'll go and tell Grandma Jin later."
Jiang Nuan looked at him with some surprise, "Haven't you two stopped arguing all these years?"
The old man said, "We still argue, but it's always her who comes to me to argue every day."
Jiang Nuan heard this and shook her head, "Then forget it. I'll tell Grandma Jin myself, lest you get scolded by her again."
The old man's expression was a little displeased. He was really too embarrassed in front of his master.
"Okay, Master."
Jiang Nuan took out a prescription and gave it to him, "This is a prescription for you to condition your body. It's also a gift."
They were all obsessed with medicine and loved nothing else but hard-to-find prescriptions.
"Wow! Thank you so much, Master." The old man put it away as if it were a treasure.
After chatting with him for a while, Jiang Nuan went to Grandma Jin's house.
Entering the alley, Jiang Nuan quickly saw the red lacquered small door with a bronze mirror hanging on it.
She walked over with a smile, looking at the scarf in her hand, and smiled again.
Grandma Jin liked scarves but never wore them, only collected them.
Everyone had their own secrets and quirks that were not widely known. Jiang Nuan didn't think Grandma Jin's preferences were problematic.
"Grandma, I'm here," Jiang Nuan called out as soon as she entered.
Grandma Jin was fiddling with some medicinal herbs. Hearing the familiar voice, her movements of pounding the herbs paused for a moment. She slowly turned around and saw the face that had matured even more than six years ago. "Heh heh..." she chuckled.
"Jiang girl, you're back." She carefully examined the girl in front of her. Having shed her immaturity, she looked much more mature and beautiful. Her curled eyelashes were long and dense, and her pair of clear, bright eyes sparkled, making her incredibly lovely.
Jiang Nuan smiled and nodded, walked over, and stood in front of the counter.
"Grandma, this is a scarf for you. I hope you like it."
This was a pure cashmere scarf she had brought back from abroad. It felt particularly soft, was light golden in color, and had large flowers on it, which was Grandma Jin's preferred style.
"Nuan Nuan, thank you! You're so thoughtful."
Grandma Jin was very happy. She put down what she was doing and quietly looked at her. After watching for a while, she said, "You've really grown into a beauty!"
"Thank you for your compliment, Grandma. You haven't changed either, you still look very young."
Grandma Jin touched her face, feeling a little shy. "It's thanks to your prescription. After drinking it, my aging has slowed down considerably."
"Heh heh..." Jiang Nuan was amused by her words.
"Grandma, that's not a beauty-preserving prescription. It just regulates metabolism very well."
"I know, but I'm already very happy. The wrinkles on my face have reduced a lot, and my body feels much lighter. I drink it every day?" Grandma Jin wasn't joking; she insisted on exercising and drinking the medicine daily.
"Grandma, it's good that you can persist. I'm opening on Friday. If you have time, please come and have the wellness soup. It's at Tianjin's most famous Food Street."
"Good, good, good. Nuan Nuan, I'll definitely be there then." Grandma Jin held her hand and said earnestly, "Nuan Nuan, it's good that you're not leaving anymore. Carry on your teacher's medical skills and bring them to fruition. That's the greatest reward for her."
Indeed, this grandma and the bald guy were introduced to her by her teacher.
Both were skilled folk practitioners. At first, they were quite aloof, but eventually, they were stunned by her astonishing talent and only then treated her politely.
So, no matter where you are, it's strength that speaks for itself.
Jiang Nuan didn't linger too long. She hadn't forgotten that Mu Jiu Chen was waiting for her to change his dressing.
She took the medicinal herbs and drove directly to the address Mu Jiu Chen had sent.
Upon seeing it, Shallow Water Bay Villa District, she gasped. Having money really made one a big shot. The villas here were so expensive they made one question their existence.
Forty minutes later, Jiang Nuan arrived in front of Mu Jiu Chen's villa. The luxurious and imposing royal-style villa blinded her.
Her own home was just a three-story building, not even a villa.
As soon as Jiang Nuan entered, she was greeted by a woman around fifty years old.
"Hello, Miss Jiang. I'm the housekeeper here, Sister Li. Ninth Master is on the second floor. Please go up."
"Thank you!" Jiang Nuan entered with her medical kit.
Indeed, poverty had limited her imagination. The splendor here was beyond what she could have imagined.
Steward Li led Jiang Nuan to Mu Jiu Chen's room. Seeing such a beautiful young girl, Sister Li's eyes lit up. She had served Ninth Master for many years and had never seen him allow another woman to come here.
This Miss Jiang was the first.
"Holy cow, what a beauty!" Li Qing Shuo also happened to be coming downstairs to find Mu Jiu Chen.
Steward Li introduced, "Young Master Li, this is Miss Jiang, who is here to look at Ninth Master's hand."
"Oh! Is that so? I was just about to go in and see Xiao Jiu." Li Qing Shuo's clear gaze slowly fell upon Jiang Nuan's un-made-up face.
Amazing, sister, you're so beautiful even without makeup!
Li Qing Shuo led Jiang Nuan inside. Mu Jiu Chen's room was decorated simply and elegantly, not as somber as his personality.
Upon entering, Jiang Nuan immediately saw Mu Jiu Chen. She was startled because the man beside her was wearing the same style of loungewear as Mu Jiu Chen.
Mu Jiu Chen's was light gray, and Li Qing Shuo's was white.
Jiang Nuan's gaze towards Mu Jiu Chen instantly became strange.
