Hu Jia Sheng agreed, saying he would actively look for a partner in the future and would not refuse any introductions.
Only then did the elder agree to rest.
After a whole night of intense mental strain, now that the pressure was off, both of them felt the urge to smoke.
With a look from Zhan Bei Jue, Hu Jia Sheng followed him to the stairwell to smoke.
Standing in the quiet, empty stairwell, Zhan Bei Jue took a few puffs before speaking.
"Were you sincere towards Chen Jiao Jiao before?"
Hu Jia Sheng was slightly surprised, then smiled. "Why? Want to help me find someone?"
Zhan Bei Jue, uncharacteristically gossipy, said, "Lu Ming Zhe really didn't act properly in your past dealings with Chen Jiao Jiao. If you two were truly in love, there wouldn't have been so many things to consider."
Hu Jia Sheng shook his head, "The past is the past, I won't dwell on it. Besides, Chen Jiao Jiao already has a new boyfriend."
Zhan Bei Jue showed no surprise.
After all, with Chen Jiao Jiao's fiery personality, she wasn't the type to endure loneliness.
It had been so long; there was no reason for either of them to wait for the other.
"In any case, if you have such needs, Nan Fang has a few friends."
This was perhaps the first time the two brothers had a more intimate conversation, and it felt rather good.
Hu Jia Sheng walked forward and patted his shoulder, "Got it. When the time comes, I'll reach out to you."
As one cigarette ended, the lawyer arrived.
The brothers returned to the ward, confirmed the will the elder had prepared in advance, signed the agreement that they would not turn against each other, and the lawyer left.
The elder seemed to be out of danger, so there was no need for both grown men to stay and guard him. Moreover, Zhan Bei Jue had family matters to attend to, and Jiang Nan Fang needed care. Hu Jia Sheng asked him to leave first.
"Alright, I'll come back to relieve you after I get some rest. Call me if anything comes up."
Hu Jia Sheng agreed. Zhan Bei Jue bent down to bid farewell to the elder. Just then, Hu Jia Sheng's phone rang, and he saw it was Tang Nan Nan.
Tang Nan Nan had a light sleep. She heard a noise in the living room in the middle of the night and went to check. It was Hu Jia Sheng leaving.
He had said his grandfather had fallen ill and needed to go to the First People's Hospital, so Tang Nan Nan had been worried.
Seeing that he hadn't returned all night, she knew the situation was somewhat serious. In the morning, she decided to cook something for him and bring it to the hospital.
She was now at the hospital entrance.
"I don't have a job right now, and I'm bored staying at home alone. I always want to do something for you, otherwise, I'd feel too embarrassed. So please don't refuse."
"I don't know which building you're in, so I'll have to trouble you to come down and get it yourself."
Zhan Bei Jue had just finished speaking with the elder when his phone also rang. He looked at it and saw it was Jiang Nan Fang.
Jiang Nan Fang was also coming to deliver food, and she was bringing the four children, asking Zhan Bei Jue to come down and meet her.
A brief absence of a few minutes from the elder wouldn't cause any trouble, so Zhan Bei Jue said he would go down with Hu Jia Sheng.
Soon, the two arrived at the ground floor lobby.
No wonder Jiang Nan Fang needed someone to pick her up. She was carrying three insulated containers, two bags of clothes, and a pile of daily necessities. The mother and children were laden with items.
The two men hurried over to take her things and asked why she didn't ask Ah Cheng to accompany her and what if she got tired.
Jiang Nan Fang said, "I want to personally do something for Grandpa to express my filial piety. If I have everything done by others at such a time, it wouldn't have the same meaning."
"I'm not that delicate, am I? To make both of you come down to pick up these few things?"
Hu Jia Sheng had interacted with her before and understood Jiang Nan Fang's temperament, so he smiled.
"Actually, I wasn't here to pick you up. However, since you brought so much food, she doesn't need to come. I'll call her and tell her to go back."
Jiang Nan Fang heard the implication in his words and sensed something was up. She quickly grabbed his hand.
"Who? Sending what? Sending you food? A girl? Are you dating?"
Hu Jia Sheng shook his head, "No. Just a regular friend. I helped her with a small favor, and she wants to repay me this way."
A girl making food for him early in the morning and bringing it over was more than just wanting to repay him, wasn't it?
Jiang Nan Fang was a woman and understood women's thoughts.
"That's where you're wrong. It's only a few o'clock, and she's already at the hospital entrance. She must have gotten up very early to prepare the food. After all her hard work, to send her back without even meeting her is too disheartening."
"Besides, it's not entirely for you; Grandpa is hospitalized, and an extra blessing will help him recover faster. Why refuse?"
"We'll wait here, you go pick her up quickly. Grandpa would be upset if he knew you turned away someone wishing him well."
Jiang Nan Fang was good with her words, always providing a comfortable way out.
Hu Jia Sheng had no choice but to go and pick up Tang Nan Nan.
Tang Nan Nan had indeed worked hard. She had stewed winter melon and pork rib soup, light and refreshing congee, and a basket of fruits.
As they walked, Hu Jia Sheng asked her, "Where did you get the money to buy all this?"
"The company paid me. Although it's not much, it's enough to buy these. Don't think it's shabby and embarrass me."
Hu Jia Sheng was certainly not that kind of person; he just felt it was not easy for her to earn money.
Not wanting to keep anyone waiting too long, they walked quickly and soon returned to the first floor of the inpatient department.
Seeing the two of them walk in from the main entrance together, Jiang Nan Fang's eyes lit up instantly.
Tang Nan Nan was slender and fair-skinned. She had specifically washed her hair, and her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Although she hadn't put on any makeup, her features were delicate and three-dimensional, giving her an overall gentle and lovely appearance.
Hu Jia Sheng was, by nature, a somewhat reserved but handsome young nobleman. The two of them standing together were truly a perfect match, an unparalleled couple.
Although Jiang Nan Fang was good friends with Chen Jiao Jiao, to be honest, Chen Jiao Jiao and Hu Jia Sheng together were not as well-matched as these two.
She subtly nudged Zhan Bei Jue with her elbow.
"Look, aren't they quite a match?"
Zhan Bei Jue was not a gossip and didn't want to offer an opinion.
However, the children became excited.
Ge Er was the first to rush out, "Uncle, is this your girlfriend? She's so pretty, I like her so much!"
Tian Tian followed closely, "Sister, you're so fair! You're so pretty, I like you too!"
Zhan Bei Jue: "..."
The two boys exchanged a look, feeling a bit shy, and didn't dare to go forward. They simultaneously turned back to look at Jiang Nan Fang.
Jiang Nan Fang saw through their thoughts and asked them,
"Do you like that pretty sister?"
"Yes. She looks like our kindergarten teacher, Ms. Wang."
Indeed, Rui Rui's description was apt.
Tang Nan Nan gave the impression of a gentle and sunny kindergarten teacher who was liked by children.
"Maybe she'll be your future aunt. Your uncle is shy and doesn't dare to pursue her, so you go help him."
With Jiang Nan Fang's permission, the two brothers also became excited.
"Roger that, Mommy! Mission guaranteed to be accomplished!"
