Although Elder Jian was in a coma, he could still hear the sounds outside. He knew his son must have offended Chen Nan, and it was a serious offense. Otherwise, he would not have stood by and done nothing. Fortunately, a protective charm saved his son's life during the car accident. Otherwise, he would have been mourning the loss of his child.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Chen Nan and I are just ordinary friends, it's not like you think," Jian Ning said, her face flushed and shy.
Elder Jian said earnestly, "Feelings can develop over time. If it doesn't work out, you can get on the bus first and buy the ticket later, that's also possible."
"Grandpa, how can you say that?" Jian Ning blushed.
Elder Jian looked at Chen Nan and said with a chuckle, "Grandson-in-law, my granddaughter is single right now, you need to make a move quickly. Don't worry, with me here, I guarantee you'll be able to win the beauty's heart!"
Chen Nan was taken aback. Did this old man have social anxiety disorder? Seeing Chen Nan's awkwardness, Jian Ning quickly said, "Chen Nan, my grandfather is just an old child, don't take what he says to heart!" Although she also felt Chen Nan was excellent, Jian Ning was a very rational woman. She was so rational that Chen Nan had become a distant and unattainable existence in her heart. She also knew that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to bridge the gap! This struck her as a blow. Because, ever since she was sensible, there had been nothing that felt difficult for her!
Jian Jianhua was about to vomit blood. She is my daughter. Did you ask for my opinion before promising her to Chen Nan?
"Dad, how are you? Do you feel unwell anywhere?" The second son, Jian Jianjun, asked with concern.
Elder Jian snorted heavily, "If your eldest son kneels down and apologizes to my grandson-in-law, I might live a couple more years. Otherwise, my life is about to end!"
"Dad, do you really want me to kneel to him?" Jian Jianhua said with indignation, "I know I did wrong, but I was also for Ning..."
Elder Jian covered his ears as if possessed by a Qiong Yao drama heroine, "Don't tell me this, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it..."
Jian Jianhua was about to cry...
"Elder, it's fine, it's fine. Uncle Jian and I don't have any deep enmity. I just can't stand his arrogant demeanor," Chen Nan said. "Even if we go back ten thousand steps, he didn't die and was saved by my protective charm. This can also be considered fate. You don't need to make things difficult for him. If he really kneels before me, how can Jian Ning and I interact in the future?"
Elder Jian was filled with relief and couldn't help but exclaim, "Look, look at our family's son-in-law, his magnanimity, you need to learn from him!"
Jian Jianhua also developed a good impression of Chen Nan.
Chen Nan took out his phone and opened the QR code: "Uncle Jian, come, let's add each other on WeChat. It will be convenient to communicate about any matters in the future."
Jian Jianhua was so excited he almost cried. He never knew what "repaying kindness with enmity" was before. Today, he learned it from Chen Nan! Without further thought, he quickly took out his phone and added Chen Nan on WeChat.
But the next moment, Chen Nan directly transferred two million yuan to him via WeChat.
Jian Jianhua was embarrassed. "Chen Nan, what do you mean by this? Just because you said you'd give me two million if we met again? Aren't you humiliating me, Uncle?"
Chen Nan frowned, "Are you treating my words as nonsense?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll accept it now." Jian Jianhua quickly accepted the two million yuan. He knew Chen Nan was a peculiar and eccentric doctor, and such people always kept their word, so he dared not refuse Chen Nan.
Seeing that Jian Jianhua had accepted the two million yuan, Chen Nan publicly unfriended Jian Jianhua on WeChat: "Alright, we owe each other nothing. You can leave with one yuan left!"
"No..." Jian Jianhua was so anxious he scratched his ears and cheeks, "So you added me on WeChat just to give me this two million?"
Chen Nan sneered, "Do you really think I want to interact with you?" Some people are worth associating with. Some people are not. Jian Jianhua was the latter. He disdained having contact with such a snobbish person.
"Jianhua, you go out first!" Elder Jian said with an unquestionable tone, "Wait by the door, as long as it's not inside the clinic."
"Alright!" Jian Jianhua walked outside with a wronged expression.
"Chen Nan, I hope you can save our Jian family," Elder Jian bowed deeply to Chen Nan, "We know you're not short of money, so we won't insult you with money. You can ask for any other requests besides money. As long as we can get through this difficult time, our Jian family will agree to anything." Although he had woken up, he knew this was a superficial solution, not a fundamental one. Because the moment his son bought that Burial Jade Cicada, the Jian family's fate had been affected and changed.
Chen Nan almost cried out. Do I look rich? I don't lack anything right now, except money. You father and son... Hmph, you're really not doing anything helpful! Chen Nan said, "Elder, Jian Ning and I were high school classmates. The camaraderie from that time cannot be erased, and it's a memory I cherish. " After saying this, he sighed, "If possible, I wouldn't stand by and watch the Jian family suffer. However, this matter is beyond my control. At best, I can help break the influence of that冥器 (Mingqi - item for the deceased/afterlife) on the Jian family, but I can't help the Jian family restore their previous fortune."
Elder Jian took off his shoes and threw them at his son outside the door, cursing loudly, "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how could our Jian family's fortune be changed? I really want to slap you to death, you scoundrel!"
Plop! Jian Jianhua immediately knelt outside the door, pleading with a distressed look, "Chen Nan, Uncle begs you, please be merciful and help our Jian family!" At this moment, he realized the seriousness of the situation.
Chen Nan shrugged, "Even if you beg me, I can't change it." It wasn't that he was unwilling to help, but that changing destiny was a taboo for cultivators. Changing a person's fate would come at a heavy price, let alone changing the fortune of an entire family. This would incur karma that did not belong to him.
Chen Nan walked to the door, "Alright, bring that jade cicada here. I'll help you resolve the Yin energy on it." Jian Jianhua quickly took out the brocade box and handed the jade cicada inside to Chen Nan. The moment he took out the jade cicada, the temperature in the clinic dropped by several degrees, making everyone feel uncomfortable. The reason why冥器 could affect people was mainly due to the powerful aura they emitted.
Chen Nan formed a hand seal and injected a powerful true qi to purify the Yin energy within. The next moment, everyone clearly felt the temperature rise, and the jade cicada also revealed its original luster.
"I heard you like cicadas, Elder? If so, then as a junior, I'll offer this as a gift to you!" Chen Nan said, injecting true qi and crafting it into a protective charm. Elder Jian said excitedly, "Is this considered a betrothal gift for our Jian family?"
