Chapter 941: Chapter 929: Could She Really Be My Sister-in-law?
In the living room, both Su Manhan and Zhan Yao were present.
When they saw Qiao Jing pushing Zhan Yuanshan inside, they were both puzzled.
Zhan Nanjing noticed it and explained the situation before they could ask.
"Here’s the thing, grandpa mistook Third Miss Qiao for my sister-in-law, and he’s adamant about it, insisting she admit it. I saw he was really agitated, and I was worried for his health, so I asked Third Miss Qiao to pretend for a bit to calm him down."
After explaining, Zhan Nanjing muttered with a frown, "I think grandpa’s mental issues are getting worse. It can’t go on like this!"
"Luckily, it was Third Miss Qiao he mistook her for. She’s kind-hearted and willing to help us act. If it were someone else, they might have been scared off by my grandpa instead of helping!"
After understanding what happened, Su Manhan and Zhan Yao both shook their heads and sighed.
They all knew the old man’s current state was problematic, but what else could they do but go along with him?
They couldn’t just watch him get more agitated and have an episode, could they?
Su Manhan stood up, pulled Qiao Jing aside, and said apologetically, "I’m sorry, the old man’s situation is unusual today. We’ll invite Master Zhou over to take a look later, but for now, we have to trouble you to pretend to be my daughter-in-law."
Zhan Nanjing and Su Manhan were honestly asking, and considering Zhan Yuanshan’s condition, Qiao Jing reluctantly agreed.
Just as they finished speaking, Zhan Yuanshan wheeled himself over.
"How long are you going to keep Jing Girl standing here? After so long apart, I want to have a good chat with her."
With that, Zhan Yuanshan took Qiao Jing over to the sofa.
Once Qiao Jing was seated, Zhan Yuanshan sighed, "Jing Girl, you know, we’ve been looking for you all these years, searching every corner of the capital without a trace of you, but we never gave up. I always believed we would find you one day."
"And now, finally, our persistence paid off, I found you today!"
Qiao Jing stayed silent, just listening quietly.
The Zhan Family’s efforts to find the missing young mistress were something she was already aware of.
Especially Zhan Qipei’s love for his wife, it was widely known.
"By the way," Zhan Yuanshan suddenly shifted the topic, looking at Qiao Jing and asking, "The day of the tsunami, after you fell into the sea, what happened next?"
As soon as he said this, Zhan Nanjing quickly signaled to Qiao Jing not to give herself away.
If she slipped up now, grandpa might get agitated again!
"That day..."
Qiao Jing hesitated, then recalled her own experience and just relayed it as it was.
"After I fell into the sea that day, the waves pushed me to the shore, and I was rescued by kind people."
Zhan Yuanshan continued to ask, "Then why didn’t you come back to find us all these years?"
This was the most puzzling thing for him.
Qiao Jing was slightly startled, feeling a bit anxious.
She’s just pretending, how would she know why?
However, if she follows her own experience, it would make sense!
With this in mind, Qiao Jing slowly said, "Because when I fell into the sea, I suffered a severe head injury and couldn’t remember anything."
Zhan Nanjing, upon hearing this, had a fleeting thought.
She stared intently at Qiao Jing.
This explanation sounded plausible!
Could this really be how it happened?
Could this person really be her sister-in-law?!
Thinking this, Zhan Nanjing shook her head, dismissing her previous thought.
No, it’s impossible!
How could there be such a melodramatic and coincidental event in the world?
Grandpa had a condition, so it made sense for him, but she was a normal person. How could she, like grandpa, mistake Third Miss Qiao as her sister-in-law and concoct such a ridiculous idea?
Meanwhile, Zhan Yuanshan, while chatting, inexplicably became agitated, coughing violently, "Cough, cough, cough—"
Seeing this, Zhan Nanjing, Su Manhan, and Zhan Yao visibly tensed up.
Su Manhan quickly said, "Quick! Call Master Zhou! Get him here right away!"
Zhan Yao, hearing this, immediately took out his phone to contact Zhou Fu.
However, after several attempts, the call didn’t go through.
Zhan Yao frowned deeply, his expression heavy, "He might be busy with something, Master Zhou isn’t answering..."
Zhan Nanjing suggested, "It’s urgent, we can’t wait, let’s find another doctor first!"
Seeing them in a rush, coupled with Zhan Yuanshan’s urgent condition, Qiao Jing didn’t hesitate. She immediately took Zhan Yuanshan’s hand to check his pulse.
Zhan Nanjing had already picked up her phone to contact another doctor, but then she saw Qiao Jing focusing on taking Zhan Yuanshan’s pulse.
Seeing this, Zhan Nanjing suddenly remembered that Third Miss Qiao could substitute for Master Zhou, treating patients solo!
Moreover, Master Zhou had always praised her medical talent!
This meant her medical skills were top-notch!
Realizing this, Zhan Nanjing turned to Zhan Yao and Su Manhan, saying, "Dad, Mom, please be quiet, Third Miss Qiao is checking grandpa’s pulse."
Hearing Zhan Nanjing’s words, Zhan Yao and Su Manhan shifted their attention over.
Looking at the scene, Zhan Yao was somewhat surprised, quietly asking Su Manhan, "Does Third Miss Qiao know medicine?"
Before Su Manhan could respond, Zhan Nanjing spoke up, "She’s currently studying at Wonderful Hall with Master Zhou. When we went over earlier, she was substituting for Master Zhou, treating patients."
Zhan Yao, after hearing this, uncertainly said, "So, she’s the one Master Zhou wants to take as a disciple?"
He wasn’t very familiar with this matter, just having heard that Master Zhou intended to take a disciple, but the person had no desire to become one.
"Yes." Zhan Nanjing nodded, "It’s her."
At this point, the three of them instinctively fell silent.
After taking Zhan Yuanshan’s pulse and understanding his condition, Qiao Jing promptly began treating him, using acupuncture points to alleviate his symptoms.
Under Qiao Jing’s treatment, Zhan Yuanshan’s condition rapidly improved.
His previously pale face quickly regained color, and his violent coughing miraculously ceased.
This left Zhan Nanjing and the others amazed.
In such a short time, with just a few simple pushes on acupuncture points, the old man’s condition was alleviated; the medical skill was extraordinary!
Zhan Yao suddenly realized, no wonder Master Zhou was insistent on taking her as a disciple; her medical skills were indeed exceptional!
