"Number One: [Nuannuan, Jiang Yuxin is in Modo.]"
Jiang Nuan replied, "I know!"
Number One: [Be careful of her. She came with Mu Yichen. The two of them cooperating has made our speculation come true.]
Jiang Nuan: [It's best that they're here. Only when they make a move can we know what they're planning?]
Jiang Nuan knew that this matter had been dragging on for too long and could not be delayed any further.
She was tired of this kind of life. To this day, it was the longest case she had ever handled.
Number One: [There's also something else. Some people who attended the banquet last night fell ill. It seems they ate something?]
Jiang Nuan was startled. She had indeed felt that the lady who had a miscarriage at the banquet was somewhat abnormal, but she hadn't found anything. Today, she was busy with the Lu family's affairs and had forgotten about it.
Jiang Nuan: [Have they done blood tests?]
Number One: [We're waiting for the results.]
Jiang Nuan: [What are the patients' symptoms?]
Number One: [Vomiting and diarrhea, some have difficulty breathing and coughing.]
Jiang Nuan was very confused, "[Two sets of symptoms?]"
Number One: [Yes. We are investigating. If the results are not good, we can only ask you to step in. You are on vacation, and I really hate to disturb you!] He then added a shy and apologetic emoji.
Jiang Nuan was a little speechless. They always said this, but they always disturbed her.
However, since the matter concerned her, she could not stand by and do nothing.
In fact, she wanted to retire and live a peaceful life. This thought would have to wait until this matter was over.
Jiang Nuan: [It's alright, I have time anyway.]
Number One shamelessly replied, "[j, I feel relieved hearing you say that.]"
Jiang Nuan smiled speechlessly. It was like the warm sun in early spring, very radiant.
Mu Jiuchen secretly glanced at his smiling wife. Who was she chatting with?
Why was she smiling so happily?
Mu Jiuchen felt inexplicably a little sour!
Upon returning home, Jiang Nuan explained the day's events to her grandfather. Only then did her grandfather feel relieved and go back to rest.
With the matter resolved, everyone could sleep soundly.
Jiang Nuan slept very soundly that night. When dawn broke, her phone vibrated. She groggily reached for her phone on the bedside table to check the message.
Kuo Bao: [Mommy, Yunyun and I are going out to play. Don't worry! Third Uncle is taking us. We should be back tomorrow.]
Jiang Nuan replied, "Okay," and didn't think much of it.
She then looked at the messages on her phone, including one from Rong Yin sent yesterday, asking how the matter was being handled.
Did she need his help?
In Jiang Nuan's life from childhood to adulthood, very few people had ever shown her such care and concern, proactively offering help.
Although there was only a transactional relationship between her and Rong Yin, with the added relationship of eldest brother, the Lu and Rong families could be considered to be getting along well.
Rong Yin's message still made her feel warm inside.
She replied: [I got back too late yesterday and didn't see your message. The matter has been resolved. Thank you!]
Just as Jiang Nuan was about to put down her phone, Rong Yin quickly replied.
[Nuannuan, it's good that the matter is resolved. You promised me you'd have dinner with me. You stood me up last night.]
Jiang Nuan: "..."
She had completely forgotten about this matter, it had flown out of her mind.
It seemed she couldn't refuse this dinner anymore.
Jiang Nuan turned around and found that Mu Jiuchen was no longer beside her. The bedding had no warmth, indicating Mu Jiuchen had been up for a long time.
She slowly sat up, looking at the message from Rong Yin, [Then let's do it tonight.]
Rong Yin: [Okay! Nuannuan, Royal Garden, how about it? You must have never eaten at the super imperial banquet under Ying Tang.]
When Jiang Nuan saw the name Ying Tang, she suddenly remembered the head of Ying Tang.
They had agreed on a time before she was injured, but neither of them had the chance to meet. They hadn't seen each other since.
She had almost forgotten about this person.
Now that she thought of it, she also wanted to meet him if she had the chance.
Jiang Nuan lazily got out of bed to wash up. After a few steps, she saw a sticky note on the bedside table with Mu Jiuchen's handwriting.
She smiled slightly, turned around, took the sticky note, and looked at the few lines of writing in his vigorous cursive script.
[Good morning, wife! I have something to do today and will be back later. Remember to miss me.]
Jiang Nuan couldn't help but smile. Mu Jiuchen was getting better and better at saying sweet nothings.
She folded the note and put it in her backpack, thinking she might take it out to recall the happiness of this moment in the future.
Going downstairs, only her mother was in the living room.
Jin Yan saw her daughter was awake and smiled, beckoning her over.
"Nuannuan, I just received a call from your mother-in-law. She said they are returning to Qi Country today. They will complete the immigration procedures in about a month, and then their whole family will move to Jinshi to live. She also said she wants to discuss your and Xiao Jiu's marriage, and that no matter what, you cannot be wronged."
"Mom thinks your mother-in-law is a good person. Isn't that right? A woman's marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so you can't wrong yourself. Don't worry about this matter. Mom will make sure you have a grand wedding."
Jiang Nuan smiled. Seeing her mother happy made her happy too. "Okay, I'll have to trouble you then, Mom."
"What are you saying? Is organizing a wedding for your own daughter troublesome? Mom is very happy!"
Jin Yan held her hand, her mood instantly becoming heavy. "It's all my fault for not discovering the truth sooner, causing my daughter to suffer so much outside."
Jiang Nuan knew her mother was feeling guilty again. This topic was always heavy.
She smiled and gently comforted her mother: "Mom, what happened in the past is in the past. Don't think about it anymore. Now that our family is reunited, that's enough."
They say imperfection is perfection, but this outcome, for Jiang Nuan, was truly the happiness she had dreamed of.
Jin Yan pulled her to sit down and opened her phone, her excitement palpable. "Nuannuan, Mom is not sad. Mom is very happy now. So, Nuannuan, your popularity on the internet is very high. Now that you're feeling better, you can start streaming. Look at the millions of messages below urging you to start streaming and sell cosmetics!"
Jiang Nuan glanced at the account she hadn't touched in months, surprised her mother had noticed this livestream.
She smiled and said, "Mom, I've been too busy lately and forgot."
What she wanted to do more was to be a food streamer.
Food could heal all her troubles.
"Haha..." Jin Yan looked at the very effective cosmetics. Her daughter could make them, so why would she buy them?
"Nuannuan, your skin is so soft and supple. Is it really because you used your own cosmetics?" Jin Yan was always envious of her daughter's dewy skin, full of collagen, so beautiful.
Jiang Nuan saw her mother's excitement and smiled, saying, "Indeed. I used some very precious Chinese medicinal herbs. When we return to Jinshi, I'll formulate a set of cosmetics suitable for your skin."
"Wow! I can already imagine myself turning eighteen again."
Jin Yan clapped her hands with joy.
"Ding dong..."
Jin Yan was a little unhappy. She wanted to spend the day alone with her daughter today. Why were people always interrupting?
"Sister Li, go open the door." She called out in the direction of the kitchen.
