Jiang Nuan's eyes flickered, and she asked, "Who? What illness?"
"It's his grandmother. It seems she's old and suddenly fell ill these past few days. Many doctors have been consulted, and they all say there's no hope. Lu Jin Yue has been looking for you everywhere these past few days."
"Modu?" Jiang Nuan nodded slightly. "Tell her I'll go." She had always wanted to go to Modu but never had the time.
Now that Xiao Rui Ming was looking after the wellness center, she could prepare the herbal soup ingredient packs, and the effect would be just as astonishing.
At most, she would be a bit busier these few days, preparing all the ingredients.
"Holy cow!" Rong Yin stood up excitedly, his face full of indignation.
He looked down at Jiang Nuan, his expression grim, and said loudly, "Jiang Nuan, you actually agreed? Aren't you very hard to invite? The world doesn't know who you are, and they don't even know where Vicky lives. I've been here trying to get you to sign a contract with me for almost two to three months."
"Now Lu Jin Yue asks you to save someone, and you agreed without a moment's hesitation. Is this kind of differential treatment fair?" Rong Yin was furious.
This Jiang Nuan was doing it on purpose to him!
And she said it right in front of him. How could he not be angry?
Jiang Nuan slowly took a sip of her herbal tea and said unhurriedly, "It depends on the person!"
Rong Yin: "..." What did he do wrong?!
"Where is my elder brother?" Rong Yin now only wanted to see his elder brother. He had lived a hard life these years, and he wanted to bring his elder brother home.
Although it played into Jiang Nuan's hands, that was his blood-related elder brother.
This time, Jiang Nuan had won again!
Jiang Nuan said, "He went out. Isn't it the fifteenth of August today? He seems to have met a girl in Jinshi, and that girl is also alone here. He went to spend the fifteenth with that girl and will be back a little later."
Rong Yin suppressed his temper again, slowly sat down, looked at Jiang Nuan, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a photo of my elder brother? I want to see it."
Jiang Nuan found a photo of Jiang Xing Yu on her phone and handed the phone to him.
"This is a recent photo. He already knows about you. Last time, when Rong Yao threatened you, he saw it too. He was very anxious, afraid that the fake elder brother in your family would do anything bad to you."
"If I guessed correctly, he has been watching the fake elder brother in your family recently, just to prevent anything from happening to you."
Rong Yin listened to Jiang Nuan's words while looking at the photo on his phone, his heart warming.
The man in the photo had gentle eyes and a warm smile. He was holding a little girl in his arms. His features were refined, and his lips and nose were very much like his. He looked more like their father, while he and his sister took after their mother more.
After looking for a while, Rong Yin looked at Jiang Nuan and said seriously, "Jiang Nuan, give me some time to investigate what's going on. Regarding my elder brother, please take care of him. I won't acknowledge him right now, as I'm afraid it will bring him danger. If the other party really has an agenda, Rong Yao is already this old, and they will find Rong Yao too. Now is the best time for us to know the truth."
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan knew that many things took time, and she was never an impatient person.
Rong Yin stumbled away. He had always envied the brotherhood of ordinary families.
He remembered visiting a friend's house in the countryside a few years ago. The friend's family had two brothers. They were a well-off family, without any scheming or contention. They could go home from school together for meals, work in the fields together, catch fish in the river together, and pick mushrooms on the mountain together. After returning home, they would cook together, chat together, and spend time with their parents, laughing and talking.
By evening, the courtyard was filled with laughter and joy.
He had always liked that kind of life, but his elder brother had wanted to surpass him since childhood.
Every time he won an award or his business went smoothly, his elder brother would be extremely jealous and always spoke to him without any respect or affection.
So, that person wasn't his real elder brother.
Everything he did was just to seize absolute power and possess the entire Rong family.
His parents couldn't do anything about such an elder brother because of their blood relation, which led to endless tolerance and indulgence.
The weather was beautiful. Rong Yin looked up at the clear sky. Today was the fifteenth of August, but he would have to spend it alone again.
However, with his elder brother worrying about him here, he suddenly felt less lonely.
Around eleven o'clock, Xiao Jinli finally woke up.
Mu Jiu Chen had been sitting by the bed, watching over him.
Seeing him slowly wake up, Mu Jiu Chen's worried heart finally settled.
"Darling, how do you feel?" Mu Jiu Chen asked with concern.
Jiang Shao Qing thought about how he had fainted from seeing blood, and a hint of discomfort crossed his small face.
"Ninth Master, I'm fine. I'm very energetic." Jiang Shao Qing smiled brightly and sat up abruptly from the bed like a carp leaping out of the water.
"Master, let's go home quickly. We still have to go and accompany Grandpa for the fifteenth of August tonight."
"Also, absolutely do not tell my mother about me fainting from seeing blood. If my mother gets angry, you won't see her for several days." Jiang Shao Qing was adept at grasping people's weaknesses.
Mu Jiu Chen stared at his son, "I absolutely won't say a word." From now on, you can forget about me taking you to eat fried chicken.
At twelve o'clock, Jiang Nuan had prepared the gifts. Mu Jiu Chen had already messaged her, saying they were almost there.
She then carried her things and waited outside the villa area.
A few minutes later, Mu Jiu Chen and the children appeared before her.
"Mom, I missed you so much! Mom, come and hug me quickly." Jiang Si Yun ran to Jiang Nuan and reached out her little hands for a hug.
Jiang Nuan, not fully recovered from her injury, crouched down and hugged her daughter with a smile.
"Were you good when you slept last night?" Jiang Nuan ruffled her hair. Seeing her hair down, she knew Mu Jiu Chen wouldn't comb her daughter's hair.
"I am Jiang Nuan's daughter, and I am very well-behaved. I didn't give Dad any trouble." Jiang Si Yun winked her bright, sparkling eyes at Mu Jiu Chen.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at them, mother and daughter, with gentle eyes, a sense of happiness welling up within him.
Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiu Chen. The man was dressed formally. The light gray custom-made suit made him look upright and elegant, exuding extraordinary nobility. He lacked his usual arrogance and coldness, possessing an innate noble and extraordinary aura.
Mu Jiu Chen took a step forward and asked her, "Nuan Nuan, where does Grandpa's house live?"
Jiang Nuan shook her head slightly, "I forgot to ask."
Mu Jiu Chen: "... Then how do we get there?"
"Grandpa will send someone to pick us up. Let's wait a bit longer!"
"Oh!" Mu Jiu Chen was a little nervous. The old man clearly disliked him.
He had bought Lafite 1982. Tonight, he would get the old man drunk and make him slip up, marrying his granddaughter to him.
Not bad, Li Qing Shuo's idea was really good.
At one o'clock, the driver sent to pick up Jiang Nuan arrived at the destination on time.
The family of four got into the car, and the car quickly sped away.
A black car followed behind, carrying two men. One of the men looked around and suddenly exclaimed with surprise, "Quick, look, that's Mu Jiu Chen's car! Follow it."
