So, why exactly did they co to her?
Could it be just because she happened to save him once on the road?
Jiang Ran’s confused gaze was evident, and the old man saw it clearly.
The old man smiled at Jiang Ran, "Is Boss Jiang wondering why I ca to you? Actually, I think you might be able to help ease so of my pain. Over the years, I have been undergoing treatnt, but the situation has not improved and has instead taken a sharp turn for the worse. Before you saved , I had several consecutive episodes. If things continue like this, I probably won’t live long. People on the brink of death always want to struggle a bit, don’t you think?"
It’s often said that a bad life is better than a good death. Who wouldn’t want to struggle a bit to stay alive?
Jiang Ran nodded, "If you trust , I can give it a try."
Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyes imdiately lit up as he nodded.
"Trust! Of course, I trust you! If I didn’t believe in you, I wouldn’t have co here."
Since things had co to this point, Jiang Ran stopped saying unnecessary words, "I don’t have acupuncture needles. I think you might find it easier to buy them than I would."
The old man nodded repeatedly, "Don’t worry about that, I’ll have soone buy them right away."
"No rush." Jiang Ran stopped the old man, "Since you’re going to buy them, you might as well get the dicine while you’re at it."
As Jiang Ran spoke, she stood up, picked up paper and pen, and quickly wrote down the nas of various dicines.
Jiang Ran’s handwriting was beautiful and, unlike the typical delicate script associated with won, her writing was grand and full of montum.
If you only looked at the handwriting, you would think it was written by a man.
The old man kept watching Jiang Ran write, and when she stopped, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "What beautiful writing!"
Jiang Ran smiled and handed the paper to the old man.
The old man didn’t look at it but directly handed it to a man behind him, "Go and buy these, and get what we need for acupuncture too."
The man left, and there was one less person in the room.
The old man was very chatty and did not let the atmosphere beco awkward. Instead, he kept talking with Jiang Ran.
From acupuncture, they talked about taking dicine, then various thods of body maintenance and dicinal diets.
The two of them, despite the significant age difference and it being only their second eting, talked as if they were old friends who knew each other well, with an endless stream of topics.
Pei Huai sat quietly beside them, watching their conversation, his expression growing more complex.
He had never talked with Jiang Ran this much!
In front of him, Jiang Ran was always quiet and reserved.
But now, it was as if Jiang Ran had beco a different person.
Why did she have so much to say?!
Pei Huai’s gaze was constantly on Jiang Ran, and of course, Jiang Ran couldn’t ignore it but pretended not to notice.
However, the old man finally shifted his attention from Jiang Ran and looked at Pei Huai, "And who is this?"
"I’m... the father of the child."
The words "my husband" were sothing Jiang Ran simply couldn’t say, so she put it that way instead.
The old man looked Pei Huai up and down, "You match quite well with Boss Jiang, a talented man and a beautiful woman!"
Jiang Ran: An awkward yet polite smile.
"Is this shop run by both of you together?"
Before Jiang Ran could answer, Pei Huai had already shaken his head, "No. She runs it with soone else."
"Oh!"
That single "oh" carried a deep aning.
Jiang Ran smiled, "He just graduated from university this year."
"So he’s still a college student, not bad at all."
