"Hey, Jianhua, speak up, Jianhua."
"Why aren't you talking, Jianhua?"
"Oh!"
Jian Jianhua snapped back to reality from his shock, chuckling, "It's fine, it's fine."
"But your tone sounds unhappy!" Old Ren keenly detected the shift in Jian Jianhua's mood.
As a man with high emotional intelligence.
He knew this was the time to change the subject.
He immediately said, "Right Jianhua, didn't you say you had something to discuss with me? What is it?"
"When did I say I had something to discuss with you?" Jian Jianhua hung up the phone angrily.
His face was extremely gloomy.
He had planned to mock Chen Nan through this matter.
But.
Damn it.
That guy bought a painting for two hundred thousand yuan and resold it for ten million!
Is there any justice?
Now, look at this!
He let that guy show off again, indirectly...
Suddenly, he heard the old man bellow, "Second son, what are you doing? What is this? Did I teach you to be honest? What do you mean now?"
Jian Jianhua quickly replied, "Dad, what's wrong? Did Second Son upset you?"
"Second Son is not being honest." Old Master Jian snorted heavily.
"He's clearly laughing at you, but he's holding it back."
"Can you hold back something like this?"
"You're not an outsider, what's wrong with laughing at you?"
"Will you hold a grudge?"
"If you want to laugh, laugh out loud!"
"Hahaha, I can't hold it in anymore."
"I'll laugh first as a sign of respect!"
"Dad, as they say, father and son fight side-by-side on the battlefield. It's impolite for you to laugh alone... Hahaha..."
Jian Jianhua looked out the window with a sense of hopelessness.
What a mess...
------
Chen's Medical Hall.
Jian Ning was so embarrassed she wanted to dig a fairy castle with her toes: "Chen Nan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have thought you were crazy the day before yesterday! Please don't take it to heart!"
Chen Nan smiled, "If I took it to heart, how could I have given you a protective amulet?"
Jian Ning was overjoyed, "It seems classmate Chen is broad-minded. In that case, would you do me the honor of having lunch together at noon?"
She already had a good impression of Chen Nan, let alone the fact that he had saved their lives, her father's and hers, and also the old man's.
If she didn't feel there was a distance between them, she wouldn't mind saying something like pledging herself to him.
Chen Nan: "Okay, but you have to accompany me to buy some medicinal herbs first."
"Ok!"
Jian Ning happily agreed.
At this moment.
He Shanshan, wearing a black silk nightgown and flip-flops, walked down.
Her long black hair cascaded like a waterfall, casually draped behind her, giving her a more languid and casual look.
"Oh, Dr. Chen isn't busy yet?" He Shanshan greeted with a smile.
"Chen Nan, who is this?" Jian Ning was confused, why was there another beautiful woman on the second floor?
Before Chen Nan could speak, He Shanshan said, "I'm his landlady."
Jian Ning was relieved.
As long as it wasn't the relationship she had imagined, that was fine.
He Shanshan suddenly said, "By the way, Dr. Chen, I have to go out after lunch. If you're also going out, please find someone to keep an eye on the medical hall!"
"It's fine, we can just close up if you're not here," Chen Nan said with a smile.
Although He Shanshan was acting a bit sarcastic today, he knew exactly what was going on in his heart.
She must still be holding a grudge because he didn't retort to her yesterday.
After all, her hints yesterday were quite obvious!
"Alright, I'll go buy some breakfast first. If you go out, lock the door for me!" He Shanshan said, twisting her slender waist as she left the medical hall.
"Chen Nan, didn't you say you were going to buy medicinal herbs? Let's go?" Jian Ning didn't realize the subtle relationship between Chen Nan and He Shanshan at all.
"Okay."
Chen Nan was a bit distracted.
At this moment.
His thoughts were not clear!
Although he had secretly admired He Shanshan for many years, they hadn't interacted much.
He didn't know He Shanshan's true personality.
What if she became enraged and threw caution to the wind, finding another man? Then wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
Could it be.
He really had to lower his head and appease her?
Chen Nan lowered his head.
Looking at a certain spot.
Then he shivered.
If I lower my head, wouldn't I be raising another head?
This isn't considered appeasing her, is it?
Thinking of this.
His mind suddenly became clear.
"I need to find an opportunity to win her over first!" Chen Nan's eyes shone with dazzling brilliance.
Then he and Jian Ning left the medical hall.
They first took a taxi to the antique market, and then Jian Ning drove her BMW X5 to Yangxintang with Chen Nan to buy some medicinal herbs for refining the Mighty God Pill, the Weight Loss Pill, and the Liver Protection Pill.
In addition, he also bought some medicinal herbs for the Bust-Enhancing Pill.
The herbs for refining the Bust-Enhancing Pill were not cheap, with each pill costing over a thousand yuan to produce.
Fortunately, he had over eight million yuan, otherwise he wouldn't have been willing to buy them.
"Classmate Chen, I saw three types of pills in your shop. How effective are those pills?" Jian Ning asked casually on the way back.
"The effects are of course very good. I'm relying on those pills to make money," Chen Nan said. "You have many friends, help me recommend them."
"I won't say anything else, but you must have friends who need the Weight Loss Pill. I can guarantee you that one Weight Loss Pill can reduce ten pounds, and a refund if it's ineffective!"
Jian Ning smiled, "Since you've asked, I'll help you spread the word."
"I do have some friends who want to lose weight, and they have a weight loss group."
"If the Weight Loss Pill is effective, there will be no shortage of buyers."
She paused here and couldn't help but say, "Did my grandfather misunderstand you? Are you... not as wealthy as we imagined?"
Chen Nan rolled his eyes, "Nonsense, would I open a medical hall if I lacked money? It's just that my sect has a rule that we can't make money from our medical skills."
Jian Ning burst into laughter, "If my grandfather knew this, he would definitely come to you to apologize."
Looking at her smile, which was like a flower, Chen Nan's heart couldn't help but race, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips, "Does your old man really like me a lot?"
Jian Ning's face turned red, and she whispered, "Can't you tell?"
"Then what are your thoughts?" Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, "Do you want to fulfill his wish, or do you want him to die with regret?"
Chen Nan had liked He Shanshan since childhood.
She was the dream girl of his dreams.
But every boy likes many girls during his growth.
Jian Ning was definitely the one he liked the most during his high school years.
It was just that he knew they were from different worlds.
There was no possibility of any development.
Therefore.
His inner thoughts never sprouted.
Instead, he poured his affection into He Shanshan.
And now.
He felt he was worthy of her.
Not to mention that even Old Master Jian called him son-in-law.
So, he wanted to know Jian Ning's thoughts.
He wanted to try.
After all, only children distinguish right from wrong; adults want it all!
Jian Ning instinctively stepped on the brakes, her face as red as an apple.
Her voice revealed tension, unease, and a hint of expectation, "Then do you want to fulfill his wish, or have him die with regret?"
