"That's really great!" Jiang Yutong and her son both looked ecstatic, their faces filled with a hint of awe as they watched Hao Jian. Ever since Hao Jian had appeared, their family had been like it shrugged off a curse, with good fortune following one after another.
Even the persistent ailnt that troubled Jiang Qihui started to show signs of improvent under Hao Jian's miraculous healing. At that mont, the Jiang family's admiration for Hao Jian had beco more than just respect.
Hao Jian said, "On my way here, I forgot to buy a pouch of herbs. I need to make a trip to the pharmacy now."
"There's no need, Teacher. Let go for you. Just tell what you need," Jiang Yutong proposed, not willing to let Hao Jian personally take care of such errands.
"Alright then, I just need a pouch of Piercing Heart Lotus. Check the nearby pharmacy; they should have it," Hao Jian replied.
"Ok, I'll go right now." Jiang Yutong nodded and headed out the door.
anwhile, Wang Wanjun watched Hao Jian with a rather mischievous look.
Hao Jian was montarily taken aback, "Granny, why are you looking at like that?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Wang Wanjun twiddled her thumbs, "Well, Teacher Hao Jian, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, what's up?" Hao Jian couldn't help but laugh and cry; Wang Wanjun was obviously trying to play matchmaker.
"No? That's great," Wang Wanjun's eyes lit up with joy, and then she said, "What do you think about our Yutong?"
Hao Jian was flabbergasted, "Co on, Granny. Yutong is my student. If sothing happened between us, wouldn't that be improper? A teacher-student relationship is not acceptable!"
"Yutong will graduate in a few years, and then she won't be your student anymore, right? And you're not much older than her; it's a perfect match!" Wang Wanjun continued to approve more and more of Hao Jian, thinking such a young man should beco her son-in-law.
"I think it's better not to," Hao Jian said with a wry smile.
"What's the matter? Isn't our Yutong good enough?" Wang Wanjun pressed Hao Jian.
"It's not that, it's my own reason. I can't accept girls younger than . I... I like mature won," Hao Jian embarrassedly admitted while scratching his head.
"A lady? Our Yutong is a lady!" Wang Wanjun was montarily lost in thought.
"Not the lady you're thinking of, but more mature won," Hao Jian explained with a bitter smile.
"This... sigh." Wang Wanjun's expression turned to one of disappointnt. She really liked Hao Jian and had her heart set on matchmaking him with Jiang Yutong, but it seed Hao Jian had no interest in Jiang Yutong whatsoever.
It seed that because of the way Jiang Yutong had previously treated Teacher Hao Jian, he dared not harbor any inappropriate thoughts toward her. What a foolish girl.
Afterwards, Hao Jian started to prepare the dicine, but after waiting a full half hour, Jiang Yutong still hadn't returned. Hao Jian beca puzzled, "Granny, is the pharmacy far from here?"
"Not at all, it's just at the street corner. I don't know what's taking that girl so long to co back." Not just Hao Jian, but even Wang Wanjun was confused. Normally a walk that took only a few minutes seed to be taking half an hour now.
"I think I'd better go look for her," Hao Jian said with a smile.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, I'm really sorry, Teacher Hao Jian. If it weren't for cooking, I would have gone to find her myself," Wang Wanjun said with so apologies.
"No need to be polite over such a small matter," Hao Jian waved his hand and then stepped out of the house.
Afterward, Hao Jian found Jiang Yutong at the pharmacy where Wang Wanjun was, but saw Jiang Yutong confronting a young man.
The young man was wearing an expensive Armani suit, obviously a wealthy person, and if Hao Jian wasn't mistaken, the Ferrari supercar parked outside must also be his.
"Boss, you clearly agreed to sell the dicine, now how can you go back on your word?" Jiang Yutong said angrily to the pharmacist.
"Indeed, that's true, but this gentleman has offered more money. As a businessman, naturally, I must sell to whoever pays more," the pharmacist said with a bit of embarrassnt.
"Even in business, there must be integrity. You previously agreed to sell the dicine to , then all of a sudden you change your mind—that's dishonest!" Jiang Yutong said in annoyance, obviously angered by the pharmacist's words.
"Young lady, people die for wealth and birds die for food; that's just the way of the world. Besides, I'm offering him ten thousand yuan for so Piercing Heart Lotus. As long as he's not out of his mind, he wouldn't refuse my offer, so you can't bla him," the man in the suit laughed.
"Why do you have to compete with ?" Jiang Yutong also looked angrily at the man in the suit. If it weren't for him, she would have already bought the herbs and left.
"Who asked you to be so beautiful?" the man in the suit chuckled insidiously. He hadn't expected that buying so herbs would lead to encountering a beauty like Jiang Yutong. His heart was imdiately stirred, so on a whim, he started to make trouble for Jiang Yutong.
"I told you already, just give your phone number, and all the herbs are yours!" the man in the suit said with a sleazy smile.
"In your dreams!" Jiang Yutong rebuked furiously, how could she possibly give her phone number to such a shaless wretch.
"If you won't give it, then you won't be able to buy these herbs. It seems like you're quite anxious to purchase them, aren't you?" the man in the suit said with malicious intent.
"So what if I'm anxious? If it cos to it, I'll just go elsewhere!" Jiang Yutong snorted, then turned and tried to leave.
"It's no use, I'll follow you to other pharmacies and similarly offer them a high price they can't refuse for the Piercing Heart Lotus. In the end, you still won't be able to buy anything," the man in the suit shouted behind Jiang Yutong, looking smug. "After all, if there's one thing I have plenty of, it's money!"
"You." Jiang Yutong turned back to glare at the man in the suit, trembling with anger.
"Miss, I think you should just give your phone number to this gentleman. After all, you won't be losing out," the pharmacist suggested, unable to understand why Jiang Yutong wasn't interested in such a wealthy man. Was there sothing wrong with her mind?
"I don't want to talk to soone as dishonest as you!" Jiang Yutong scolded furiously.
The pharmacist's face suddenly turned to one of embarrassnt and he imdiately fell silent.
Seeing this, the man in the suit couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself that Jiang Yutong really had character.
"Young lady, are you really not going to reconsider? If you don't agree to my request, you won't be able to buy the Piercing Heart Lotus," the man in the suit said tantalizingly.
Jiang Yutong was grinding her teeth in hatred but was utterly helpless; she certainly didn't have as much money as the man in the suit, who could casually throw out ten thousand yuan.

And just then, Jiang Yutong saw Hao Jian walking over. Instantly, she felt as if she had found her pillar of strength and said with a relaxed brow, "You just keep being arrogant, because you're already headed for a big disaster."
