Chapter 1619: Grampy, How Many Years Did You Aged?
Although Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan already knew that she was a member of the Zhishan Club, Wen Xinya was not worried that they would leak this news.
Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya were both smart people.
T-K Group and Lanxin Company were in the middle of a heated acquisition battle. If it was revealed that the heir of the Wen Corporation, Wen Xinya, was a member of the Zhishan Club and that she was the one fueling the acquisition battle, T-K Group’s situation would only get worse.
As such, not only would they not reveal this information, but they would also bring it to their graves.
At this moment, Chu Jingnan urgently wanted to talk to her. Whether it was by threat, temptation or other means, he wanted her to stop partic.i.p.ating in the acquisition battle between T-K Group and Lanxin Company.
However, Wen Xinya would not buy this.
“Grandpa Du, how is my grampy’s pulse?”
Back then, Grampy had a sudden heart attack which alarmed everybody, especially Wen Xinya.
She had hired a professional nurse who was specialized in cardiac disease to live with Grampy and take care of him. It was not because she did not trust Uncle Zhang and the others. They were getting old as well and were more tired now, so they needed to take care of themselves as well.
Also, Grandpa Du would personally visit Grampy every month to check his pulse.
Du s.h.i.+nan ignored her and said sternly to Old Mr. Mo, “Give me your right hand!”
When a doctor was checking one’s pulse, it was strictly forbidden for anyone to disturb in case it affected their judgment. This rascal had been learning from him for 2 years, yet she was still a helpless case.
Wen Xinya wanted to pursue further but held her tongue after receiving a look from Old Mr. Mo.
Old Mr. Mo gave Du s.h.i.+nan his right hand and said, “Even at this age, you are making a ha.s.sle with a little rascal.”
His tone was filled with discontentment with his old friend.
Wen Xinya stood at the side and remained silent anxiously.
She should not be blamed for panicking. Since Grandpa Du started taking Grampy’s pulse, his face was stoic. It was just checking his pulse, yet he was doing it a second time.
As he checked his pulse, Du s.h.i.+nan leered at him and said, “If not with her, should I do it with you?”
If it were not for Xinya creating a ha.s.sle, his life would have been long gone.
In the past, he was so stubborn and could not be persuaded no matter what. Fortunately, there was always one thing to overcome another. In the face of his coy and thick-skinned granddaughter, this stubborn old man was no more.
Old Mr. Mo choked.
Wen Xinya quickly interrupted and asked, “Grandpa Du, my grampy’s pulse…”
Although Old Mr. Mo’s body was well maintained in these two years, he was still getting older.
After Du s.h.i.+nan checked his pulse, he grabbed the teacup in front of him. He took a sip and frowned.
Wen Xinya immediately brewed him another cup and pa.s.sed it to him. “Grandpa Du, please drink this!”
Old Mr. Mo was frowning as he watched from the side.
Du s.h.i.+nan took over the teacup. After drinking it, he praised her. “This jade green Lu Mountain Cloud Mist tea is as fragrant as an orchid and tastes refres.h.i.+ng. Xinya, your tea brewing skills have improved!”
He was full of good reviews.
Yet, Wen Xinya remained anxious and looked dryly at Grandpa Du!
Old Mr. Mo placed the teacup in his hands onto the table, and the tea lid made a clang. “Aren’t you busy with the acquisition battle? Why do you have the time to come running here?”
Old Mr. Mo had been paying close attention to the acquisition battle between T-K Group and Lanxin Company. He was pretty satisfied with his granddaughter’s performance.
Wen Xinya hung her head and retorted softly, “I didn’t come running here…”
It was because Grandpa Du was coming to check his pulse today, that was why she dropped all her work to come running to the Mo Family.
Usually, she would only visit every two to three days at most.
Du s.h.i.+nan laughed out loud and stopped teasing her. “Don’t worry, your grampy’s pulse is stable. His health is in good condition.”
Back when Old Mr. Mo survived a heart attack, it became a blessing in disguise. In these years, his body had been well maintained, his internal organs became healthy and his qi was stable. In fact, he was healthier than ever.
But Xinya that rascal was still worried over nothing.
Every time he came to check on Old Mr. Mo’s pulse, that little rascal looked as if she was facing a huge enemy.
Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief. She glared at Du s.h.i.+nan and said, “Grandpa Du, you are so mean. You were actually teasing me.”
Although she knew that Grampy’s health did not have any problem, she could not help but worry.
Du s.h.i.+nan sipped on tea as he laughed. “Why? Do you regret not learning to check a person’s pulse from me in the past? Otherwise, you would be able to do this for your grampy without me coming here personally. Do you want to reconsider learning Chinese medicine from me? I will definitely teach you everything and train you to become the best traditional Chinese medicine doctor of your generation. Forget about just checking the health of your grampy. You can even help him live to a hundred years old!”
Du s.h.i.+nan looked at her like a wolf trying to tempt the little red riding hood.
In the past few years, Du s.h.i.+nan had also been teaching a few students. Although they were rather talented, they were still nothing compared to the little rascal of the Wen Family. Unfortunately, the little rascal did not have the ambition for this trade. Otherwise, she would even surpa.s.s him as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Master.
As such, although he felt regretful, he never once gave up on convincing her in these past years.
Wen Xinya sulked.
Old Mr. Mo looked at him with a cold-shoulder. “Instead of trying to abduct my granddaughter, why don’t you spend more time teaching that young one in your family. Perhaps you can really raise a great talent.”
Du Ruo’s father had remarried. His partner was a surgeon and they got together since they were like-minded people. Last year, she gave birth to a chubby son and Du s.h.i.+nan proposed to take care of him by his side. Since the couple was busy with work, they were happy with the arrangement.
Du s.h.i.+nan aspired for his grandson to inherit his legacy and raise him to be a Traditional Chinese Medicine Master.
In order to prevent his little grandson from going the same route as his son or granddaughter, from the moment the baby turned one month old, his lullaby was a compilation of various medical prescriptions. His early childhood education also consisted of all sorts of medical knowledge.
Seeing this, one wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Wen Xinya was speechless.
Abduct—
Grampy, is this word suitable to be used?
Du s.h.i.+nan remained haughty and said, “Having just one successor is not enough, you should have two. It’s best to put all your eggs into two baskets. If you only put them all into one basket, what if you come out empty-handed?”
It was clear that he would not give up on trying to abduct Wen Xinya…
After all, he had high hopes for his grandson. But who knows where his talent would lie when he grew up? What if he chose to walk another path?”
Old Mr. Mo mocked him and said, “I don’t care even if you put your eggs in ten baskets. Just don’t ruin my granddaughter. I don’t want her to grumble all day like you in the future.”
Du s.h.i.+nan was provoked. “Who grumbles all day…”
Wen Xinya covered her face. They were fighting again…
Quietly, she moved her legs as she prepared to leave this battlefield.
