Facing Madam Wang's questioning, Jiang Nuan slightly lowered her tired eyes. "Madam Wang, regardless of whether I have a medical license or not, the elder madam has been rescued. After nearly four hours of surgery, I am exhausted and need to rest. Please move aside!"
Her tone was icy and unapologetic.
Madam Wang, accustomed to being revered, was instantly angered by such disrespectful words.
With a disdainful look and a mocking tone, she sneered, "Jiang Nuan, you cannot leave. You must stay here until I see my mother-in-law safe and sound. If you leave and something happens to my mother-in-law, who will I hold accountable?"
Madam Wang's attitude was forceful, blocking Jiang Nuan's path and preventing her departure.
Manager Wang saw his foolish wife. She held prejudices against people and would continue to hold them.
But what prejudice did she have against Jiang Nuan?
She was swapped at birth, how pitiable.
How could she appear to be a person of extreme evil in Madam Wang's eyes?
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the voice of Mu Jiu Chen's patient.
"Get lost!"
The angry voice was not loud, but it sent a chill down the backs of those present.
Madam Wang opened her mouth, looking at the gloomy Mu Jiu Chen, not daring to say a word.
Ye An Ran stepped forward to appease Madam Wang, saying, "Aunt Wang, don't be angry. Nuan Nuan's medical skills are excellent. I still want Nuan Nuan to help my uncle. My uncle had a car accident some time ago and is still bedridden."
Madam Wang fell silent. In front of Mu Jiu Chen, she was intimidated!
Ye An Ran then smiled at Jiang Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, you were busy and left for a while. When you have time, could you also come and look at my uncle's legs? He has been despairing due to his disability. He weighed 180 pounds, but has recently slimmed down to 100 pounds. He doesn't eat or drink, and only eats when forced. If this continues, he may not have much time left."
Ye An Ran said with a look of sadness.
Madam Ye narrowed her eyes. This foolish girl, what was she thinking?
The death of the second son would only benefit her.
Instead, she was asking Jiang Nuan to save the second son. Kindness was a good thing, but doing so was creating obstacles for her future path.
Jiang Nuan looked at Ye An Ran's persistence and suddenly had an idea. "Come pick me up the day after tomorrow. I'll go and see your uncle."
Upon hearing this, Ye An Ran smiled happily, "Thank you, Nuan Nuan! I'll be there on time the day after tomorrow to pick you up."
"Mmm!" Jiang Nuan nodded slightly.
Manager Wang walked over and said to his wife, "Apologize to Miss Lu."
Madam Wang held back a surge of frustration. She looked at Jiang Nuan, who then slowly spoke, "No need. Madam Wang has a prejudice against me, so an apology is unnecessary."
The implication was, what was the point of an insincere apology?
She looked at Manager Wang and said, "Manager Wang, although the elder madam has been saved, her health was not good on normal days. When I took her pulse just now, the pulse was weak, and melancholic stagnation would lead to qi blockage, which is incurable. After the elder madam recovers, she must be kept in a good mood and be cheerful. Then the qi will flow freely and unblock, leading to recovery without treatment."
Manager Wang quickly nodded, "Alright, alright, Miss Lu, I understand."
"Mmm! Manager Wang, it would be best to focus your efforts on catching the hit-and-run driver as soon as possible."
As Jiang Nuan finished speaking, Ye An Ran's entire body tensed in fear.
Manager Wang's expression darkened, "Miss Lu, rest assured, I will find out who it was as soon as possible."
Jiang Nuan glanced indifferently at the tense Ye An Ran, and left the hospital with Mu Jiu Chen.
In the car, Jiang Nuan leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes to rest due to fatigue.
Mu Jiu Chen fastened her seatbelt for her and then drove her to their city apartment, which was closer.
Upon returning home, Jiang Nuan, still weary, went to bathe. After bathing, she finally felt much more comfortable.
Mu Jiu Chen leaned against the headboard reading. Seeing Jiang Nuan arrive, he lifted the covers and beckoned her over.
"Wife, come quickly." His voice was gentle and alluring.
Jiang Nuan smiled, climbed onto the bed, and sat beside him. His gentle smile was particularly captivating.
Jiang Nuan leaned into his embrace. This rare moment of warmth allowed her to completely relax.
Mu Jiu Chen placed a kiss on her ear and then gently asked, "Do you want to sleep?"
Jiang Nuan shook her head slightly, "I feel much more energetic after my bath. I'll sleep in a bit."
Mu Jiu Chen replied, "Mmm!"
He held her as they lay down, hugging her tightly. "Nuan Nuan, what are your plans next? You don't need to worry about Mu Yun Feng; everything is under my control."
Jiang Nuan thought about Ye An Ran's words from that night and said, "I've always felt that Ye An Ran asking me to see her uncle must have some ulterior motive. No matter what her motive is, I want Ye An Ran to make the first move. Once this matter is resolved, we'll have our wedding in late spring."
The wedding was something Mu Jiu Chen had longed for. Her parents had returned, and hearing his wife say this, he was overjoyed.
"Good!" A cold glint appeared in his eyes. He would also accelerate his plans.
Jiang Nuan proactively wrapped her arms around Mu Jiu Chen's strong waist, looking at him shyly.
Mu Jiu Chen's gaze flickered, and his deep eyes instantly overflowed with desire!
"Wife." His voice was husky and alluring, "Aren't you tired?"
Jiang Nuan was rarely the initiator, and every time she was, he derived immense satisfaction.
Jiang Nuan glared at him, her tone playfully seductive, "If you spout any more nonsense, I won't talk to you!"
Mu Jiu Chen smiled ambiguously and leaned over her.
Jiang Nuan glanced out the window. The myriad of lights twinkled brightly, and the room was filled with warmth.
...
The next day!
In the early morning, the sunlight was warm. Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen returned to the Lu family residence. After breakfast, Hua Ying came to pick up Jiang Nuan.
Mu Jiu Chen had business at his company, so Lu Jin Yan accompanied Jiang Nuan.
The two families were not far apart. Hua family knew early on that someone was coming to treat the elder. Hua Ying's father and elder brother did not go to work and waited at home for Jiang Nuan.
Hua Ying did not mention that Jiang Nuan was Vicky. Seeing her third brother protect her, she did not share this news with her family.
She only said that Jiang Nuan was confident in curing her grandfather, and that even though the doctors and her father had given up on him, she would not.
The two families were not far apart. Lu Jin Yan drove, and within minutes, they arrived at the Hua Ying family's courtyard.
Hua Ying's father and elder brother were waiting in the courtyard.
After getting out of the car, Hua Ying introduced everyone, and they learned that the person coming to treat the elder was Miss Lu, Jiang Nuan.
Accompanying her was the third young master of the Lu family.
Both father and son warmly welcomed the brother and sister.
Hua Ying looked at the fawning smiles on her father's and elder brother's faces and felt ashamed.
To secure investment, her father and elder brother truly had no bottom line.
Hua Ying took Jiang Nuan to see her grandfather. The grandfather lay on the bed, gasping for breath, wearing an oxygen mask, in a state of imminent death.
Jiang Nuan looked at the elder lying on the bed. He had a kind face but was trying hard to persist in living. Seeing Jiang Nuan, he slightly opened his eyes, as if seeing a beam of white light illuminating the darkness ahead.
The elder raised his hand slightly, gazing fixedly at Jiang Nuan, appearing very emotional.
