Chapter 1361 - 891: I Feel Indignant on Your Behalf
The re-examination went smoothly, and the director came by again. A couple of doctors followed him, clattering along.
Mr. Chen also noticed that the director held a remarkable status. After expressing his sincere gratitude, he seemed at a loss for words, appearing a bit constrained.
"The results are pretty good, no major issues."
"From now on, you need to maintain a light diet."
The first sentence was spoken in standard Mandarin by Director Chen. For the second, he switched to the local dialect and looked at Jiang Nian.
"Your mom has recovered very well, keep a relaxed mindset. There are no side effects, just rest well at home."
"Director Chen, we’re really grateful for your help today," Jiang Nian said, continuing with some polite expressions.
For example, the elderly are getting older, and as children, we don’t have much time. Your effort and the help you’ve given us is deeply appreciated.
It’s not just about gratitude, but also making his stance clear in person.
Director Chen naturally waved his hands, and after exchanging a few words, excused himself citing other commitments, then left with his team.
Chen Yunyun stood to the side, nervously fidgeting with her hands.
It was... quite worldly.
She knew she probably couldn’t say those words, and the director wouldn’t care about her gratitude anyway.
Thus, Jiang Nian is actually pretty reliable.
Not only did he come back with her, he arranged everything that needed to be arranged, and didn’t shy away when he needed to speak up.
"Let’s go." Jiang Nian tugged at her arm, "Let’s grab something to eat first, and see what your mom can eat."
Chen Yunyun was startled, snapping back into awareness.
"Oh, okay."
After a while, the two elders felt a bit embarrassed. They insisted on going back, and Jiang Nian agreed.
After all, Mrs. Chen could only have light meals.
Fittingly, on the way, they gave Jiang Nian a lift back to Zhen Nan. Mrs. Chen kept engaging in small talk with Jiang Nian along the way.
"Xiao Jiang, what do you do for work?"
"I sell clothes."
"Selling clothes is great, where do you sell them?"
"Online. And soon, there’ll be a physical store in Yuhang. Auntie, you can visit when you have time."
"Great, I love visiting clothes stores."
Chen Yunyun listened from the side, digging her toes into the ground and rubbing her forehead, but not knowing what to say, she remained silent.
Until they entered Zhennan Street.
"Mom, we’ve arrived."
"Got it, why are you rushing?" Mrs. Chen said. "Xiao Jiang, come visit at Auntie’s house when you have time, don’t feel unwelcome."
"No problem, I’ll come in a couple of days," Jiang Nian said with a smile, "I’ll take you seriously, Auntie, as long as you don’t mind me being a bother."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes."
Jiang Nian cheekily said, "To see how well you’ve recovered. That way, I can feel at ease returning to Beijing, right?"
Chen Yunyun: "...."
Waving, Jiang Nian got off the car, turning back at every step. After standing at the entrance for a while, he received a message from Chen Yunyun.
"If you keep talking, my mom might start treating you like a son."
Seeing this, Jiang Nian replied.
"Am I not?"
Chen Yunyun: "..."
"Anyway, thank you." She avoided this topic, "In a couple of days, are you really coming to my house?"
"Yes, it’s on the way." Jiang Nian shrugged, "In a couple of days, I have some things to take care of."
Something to take care of?
Chen Yunyun paused for a moment, feeling that something was off. At this time, Zhou Yuting was already in college.
At dinner, while her thoughts were wandering.
Her dad suddenly gave her a revelation, "Xiao Jiang is staying for a few days, probably to send a gift."
"Huh?"
"What gift?"
"It would be rude not to give a gift after bothering someone," Mr. Chen also sighed, "I think Xiao Jiang has a good sense of things."
Hearing this, Chen Yunyun’s feelings became more complicated.
"Hmm."
....
Jiang Nian planned to stay in Zhen Nan for two or three days, which was quite beneficial. Firstly, he reassured his parents by being at home.
Kept his cozy home, not letting it be uprooted.
Secondly, he mingled with Old Liu a bit. Maintained student-teacher friendship; Zhen Nan still being his base camp.
Whether going to Beijing or Yuhang.
Even if in the future, he becomes amazing and flies to Shanghai or abroad, his parents and teachers are still here in Zhen Nan.
There’s always a need for people, and it’s not possible to solve everything with money.
Thirdly, furthering his relationship with Chen Yunyun. When two independent individuals come together, the disparity in status diminishes.
If they are together, the gap is no longer a gap.
A single trip, three wins.
Satisfying victories.
"You still know to come back?" Li Hongmei got irritated seeing Jiang Nian, and got even more upset seeing him lounging on the couch.
Probably all moms dislike seeing their kids lazily playing video games on the couch, doing nothing.
For adults, it’s slightly better.
But now, in Ms. Li’s eyes, Jiang Nian is still a university student, roughly "a student".
"Mom, speaking of which," Jiang Nian lazily replied, "Even dogs recognize their home’s door, let alone your clever son."
"What are you thinking?"
Li Hongmei also sat down, trying to stay calm, "What’s there to think or not think about, meeting one of your future in-laws?"
"How many in-laws have you found for me, are you itching for a fight?"
As she spoke, she stood up again, grabbing a thin hanger, ready to strike.
All the grievances of a lifetime don’t compare to this past year. If word gets out, she truly would be too embarrassed to show her face.
"Mom, calm down."
Jiang Nian also panicked a bit, standing on the couch, "I’m just joking, there’s no need for you to meet the in-laws."
Hearing this, Li Hongmei’s expression eased a little.
"Can’t you just behave?"
Jiang Nian thought for a moment, "Mom, it’s not that I want to act reckless. Honestly, your son doesn’t have that kind of talent either."
"Maybe it’s fate."
"The heavens see that our family has been a single lineage for three generations, so they’re tying seven or eight matrimonial strings to me at once."
Li Hongmei: "...."
"I’m not an empress dowager, I don’t have the energy to manage a harem. Whatever you do, don’t let Qianqian down."
