Hearing Qian directly say the na of the illness, Teng Daye’s face changed.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Reminding you is just my professional habit, nothing else. If I offended you, please don’t mind. My big brother’s car is here, I have to get in."
"Who exactly are you?" Teng Daye questioned.
"I am the psychologist Chen Xiaoqian, see you later." After saying that, Qian opened the car door and got in. Once the driver started the car, she closed her eyes and added in a low voice.
"I’m also Yu Minglang’s girlfriend." This didn’t conflict with her identity as a doctor.
Sitting in the front seat, Yu Mingli had been a silent companion the whole night. Now that there were no outsiders, he finally spoke up.
"Qian, what did you say to Mr. Teng? He looked terrible."
"Nothing much."
What Qian was concerned about was how long it would take her to cure Teng Shuixian’s anorexia and whether she could break her past record.
"If this really works out, big brother will credit you first." Yu Mingli said.
Qian shook her head, "I’m not just here to help you make money. I genuinely want to help my patients, big brother. I’m a doctor."
Yu Mingli was amused by her.
"Alright, big doctor, you’re right about everything."
"Seriously, big brother, you really need to lose weight. You have plenty of money, stop drinking and smoking every day outside. Sister-in-law doesn’t care how much money you make. Being healthy is more important than anything."
"Tsk, this tone is identical to my grandmother and your sister-in-law." Yu Mingli said half-jokingly, "I also want to be healthy, but in this position, socializing is inevitable. We need to work a little harder to keep our family ship more stable."
"Big brother, you’re just going too far and forgetting your original intention. How much money do you need to buy a healthy body? Spending millions on sister-in-law won’t make her as happy as having a peaceful al with her."
"Little girl, now you’re lecturing ." Big brother laughed, he truly regarded Qian as one of his own now.
After dropping off Qian, the driver asked Yu Mingli.
"Mr. Yu, back to the company?"
The boss was a workaholic, spending almost all his ti at the company, sotis working late into the night.
"Back—wait a mont." Yu Mingli thought of Qian’s words, suddenly rembering that his wife seed to be off today, and his sons were also at ho.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed an envelope in the car, which contained tickets to an amusent park soone had given him. He called his wife on his phone.
"Zhaozhao, what are you doing?"
Sister-in-law was checking the howork of the two sons, and her first instinct upon hearing her husband’s call was that he had forgotten so docunts.
"Did you forget sothing, and want to bring it to you?"
"Uh, you could say that."
"Where is it? I will bring it to you."
"In my heart, Zhaozhao, bring the boys to the amusent park, I’ll be waiting at the entrance. It seems I’ve forgotten about you and the kids."
Clunk, sister-in-law’s phone dropped on the table.
The twin boys gathered around, "Mom, what’s wrong?"
"Quick! Change clothes, your dad is taking you out to play!"
"Great!" The two kids cheered enthusiastically.
Hearing the commotion and cheers on the other end of the line, big brother smiled at the dumbfounded driver.
"Being cheesy is contagious, remind to stay away from that little girl Chen Xiaoqian next ti, she’s too sentintal."
But this feeling wasn’t bad, and his wife’s reaction was indeed happier than when he told her about any big business deals. In the future, he should make so ti to spend more with the family.
When Qian got ho, Jia Xiufang ca up to her.
"Qian’er, have you eaten?"
"I have, but the food wasn’t good, I’m a bit hungry. Mom, can you make so noodles?"
"Then wait a bit, honestly, not eating properly when you’re out and then coming back to trouble ." Jia Xiufang complained, but her hands didn’t slow down.
Qian squeezed into the kitchen, helping Jia Xiufang with the vegetables. Because she was clumsy, her mother pushed her aside in annoyance, and Jia Xiufang quickly cooked the noodles by herself.
"Chinese people attach great importance to food, and they are used to asking if you’ve eaten when they et. Food is fundantal to life. After striving around, having a fortune ans nothing if you can’t eat well. Look at how many big bosses appear all mighty outside, but are they really satisfied with their als?"
Jia Xiufang replied to her daughter while frying the wok, "How can they not be satisfied? They eat all the delicacies, lobsters and crabs, using Moutai as mouthwash."
"What you eat isn’t important, it’s about who you eat with. Eating those things every day, with als feeling like battlegrounds, every word having a deeper aning, how could they enjoy their food? All big bosses have stomach issues. As for , I think my mom’s noodles are the best."
Like Teng Shuixian with so much good food at ho yet having anorexia, or big brother who does such big business but has high blood pressure and a bulging belly, are they really happy?
Qian found the food Jia Xiufang made to be flavorful, it was quite good, she felt happy.
"Qian’er, you’re almost 20 years old, yet you can’t cook a single dish. How will you manage when you get married? I’m worried sick, I must teach you well so you don’t end up poisoning Minglang."
Jia Xiufang sat across from Qian, nagging as Qian slurped her noodles and mumbled.
"Yu Minglang can cook, it’s going to be his job later on."
"Nonsense, he’s so busy at work, where will he find ti to serve you! Just look at your lack of ambition, as a woman, how can you not know how to cook? I have to teach you properly." Jia Xiufang held a rather traditional view.
"But I can do other things that other won can’t! Mom, don’t worry needlessly. If you don’t believe , I’ll send a ssage to Yu Minglang asking if he still wants even if I can’t cook?"
"You’re shaless, eat more!" Jia Xiufang pushed the plate of vegetables towards Qian, thinking her daughter was just teasing.
"Actually, whether the food tastes good isn’t important, what’s important is who accompanies you while eating. The flavor of ho is invaluable. Mom, did your family also have als together with everyone when you were young?"
"Yes, your grandma was biased from the start. When a large family gathered for als, and there were nice dishes like at and eggs for the New Year, she would prepare two plates. For your uncles, it was always with eggs and at, and for and her side, without. Back then those were luxuries, yet in the end, her two sons were not as reliable as I was."
Now the old lady still lies upstairs, and Uncle’s family ca over to put on a show. After finalizing the house and inheritance split arrangents with Jia Xiufang, the family left again.
"Did they handle the house situation as I suggested?"
"Yes, when you weren’t ho, Uncle’s second child ca over, just as Minglang’s lawyer friend also ca. Both your cousins almost knelt before , and we made a notarization, with both and your uncle putting our handprints. From now on, as you said, everyone will take turns taking care of your grandma. Money will be frozen, the house profit split equally, and your uncle will send money every month."
