Chapter 23 is suitable

Zhou Mingyuan clenched his fist: "Second brother might not be so bored, but what about Tan Qingwen? Doesn't she have any ideas either?"

His mother's birthday party was originally supposed to be held at home, but since that place would become his second brother's house in the future, he suggested holding the banquet at a hotel. They had already hidden in the hotel, and these people were deliberately coming to cause them trouble...

Zhou Jia: "I don't know about that. My second brother's mother is so serious, with such sharp eyes..."

When she occasionally ran into her, she would avoid her at all costs, not daring to bump into her.

Zhou Mingyuan said nothing, went straight to Zhou Kanghui and Sun Yurong, pulled them aside, and whispered, "I just ran into my second brother."

Zhou Kanghui opened his eyes wide and looked around: "Your second brother is here, where is he?"

"He, his mother, and Miss Lin and her daughter went upstairs for dinner," Zhou Mingyuan said. "What do you think they mean by that? Why did they have to choose to eat here today? Are they deliberately trying to tell the guests that they came to the hotel but not to celebrate my mother's birthday, or...?"

Sun Yurong's face darkened. Regardless of whether Tan Qingwen did it on purpose, if people found out that Zhou Mingshi brought his mother to dinner today, even if they were in the same hotel, and didn't attend her birthday party, she would lose face completely.

Zhou Kanghui immediately started thinking: "It must be a coincidence. Tan Qingwen only returned from her business trip yesterday, and she made an appointment to have dinner with the Lin family today. She has no idea that we are having a birthday banquet here."

Sun Yurong: "So many people know her, how do you know they didn't tell Tan Qingwen?"

Zhou Mingyuan suddenly asked, "How did you know Tan Qingwen was on a business trip?"

Zhou Kanghui: "I called her, how come I didn't know?"

Zhou Mingyuan looked at him: "Why are you calling her for no reason? You're both divorced..."

Zhou Kanghui glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? With your second brother around, it's impossible for us not to keep in touch. Besides, Tan Qingwen doesn't care about your mother at all, and your second brother wouldn't do something so pointless. It's all a coincidence, don't flatter yourself."

Sun Yurong suppressed her anger and said, "Yes, I'm not capable, so people don't need to take me seriously."

Zhou Kanghui looked at her and said, "Look at you, you're still holding a grudge. I'm just telling you the truth. She has never mentioned you in front of me. Although we are divorced, I know she is an upright person. She would never do such despicable things. She really doesn't respect you. Don't overthink it. You should be happy on your birthday."

Sun Yurong was far from happy; she was furious. So, in this man's heart, she wasn't even worthy of Tan Qingwen's attention? Tan Qingwen was upright, but she was inferior?

Zhou Mingyuan felt frustrated after hearing his father's words. He didn't know whether he hoped that his second brother and Tan Qingwen hadn't deliberately come here to eat today, or that they had deliberately chosen this hotel to embarrass them.

Anyway, nothing he did made him uncomfortable.

Tan Qingwen didn't take meeting them seriously at all; he had long forgotten about them. The hotel had been booked in advance, and the food was served as soon as they sat down.

Tan Qingwen and Wang Yuehua sat together, looking at the two young people opposite them. When she saw her son serving soup to An'an and handing her a spoon, she smiled knowingly. This son had always been pampered and waited on by others, who would serve him tea and water. When had he ever taken care of anyone else?

It seems that, just as her son said, the two get along well.

Seeing this, she felt relieved.

This was the first time Wang Yuehua had seen the two of them together. She was pleased to see Zhou Ming eating by himself while taking care of his daughter beside him.

Although it was called a marriage alliance, they had considered it carefully and knew that the other party was good in all aspects before deciding to get married.

In her view, a son-in-law who is of good character, well-mannered, responsible, and family-oriented makes her feel more at ease than a son-in-law who only knows about romance.

Lin Yi-an has a moderate appetite and always eats only until she is 80% full. A bowl of soup, a bowl of rice, and some vegetables are enough for her.

When she put down her chopsticks, Zhou Mingshi, who was standing next to her, also put down his chopsticks.

Upon seeing this, Tan Qingwen said to his son, "I'm going to talk to your Aunt Wang. You can arrange your own time from now on, and don't bother us."

Wang Yuehua laughed and said, "Yes, go do what you're supposed to do and don't disturb our conversation."

Zhou Mingshi looked at Lin Yi'an: "We've been rejected by both of our mothers!"

Lin Yi'an smiled, pursing her lips.

Looking at the smile on her face, Zhou Mingshi asked, "Where do you want to go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he answered the call.

From inside came my cousin Tan Chengjun's voice: "Mingshi, where are you?"

Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "I'm having dinner with my two mothers and Yi'an."

Tan Chengjun: "You said a few days ago that Miss Lin's medical skills were quite good?"

Zhou Mingshi: "Hmm, is anyone feeling unwell?"

Tan Chengjun said, "Your aunt had back pain. She endured it without saying a word for the past two days, and we didn't know. Today, she suddenly had difficulty walking, and that's when she told us. I said I was going to take her to the hospital. She mentioned that your fiancée runs a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and many people have had good treatment there. She probably feels safer because she's related to you..."

Zhou Mingshi: "I'll ask Yi'an."

Tan Chengjun: "Go ahead and ask."

Without hanging up, he looked at Lin Yi'an and asked, "Auntie has back pain and difficulty walking. Would you like to come to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic for treatment?"

Lin Yi'an: "No problem, are they coming now?"

Zhou Mingshi asked on speakerphone, "When are you coming?"

Tan Chengjun: "Come over right away, is that convenient?"

Zhou Mingshi looked at Lin Yi'an, who nodded: "Okay, I'll go back right away."

Tan Qingwen and Wang Yuehua overheard this. Wang Yuehua said to Tan Qingwen, "Why don't we go and see their aunt together?"

Since you know that the person is sick and is receiving treatment at your daughter's clinic, you should at least go and visit them.

Tan Qingwen was also worried about her sister-in-law: "I haven't been to An'an's TCM clinic yet, so I'll go and take a look."

A group of people headed to the TCM clinic. When they arrived, Tan Chengjun and his mother were already there. Tan Chengjun was sitting with his mother in a chair while a nurse took her blood pressure.

The group walked over, and the aunt greeted them, "Why are you all here?"

Tan Qingwen: "Of course I came to see you. Why is your back suddenly hurting?"

My aunt said, "It's an old problem."

Lin Yi'an called out "Auntie" and looked at the blood pressure monitor: "Your blood pressure is a little high, but your heart rate is normal. Have you had any X-rays taken before, Auntie?"

Tan Chengjun handed her the film: "It was taken in April. I brought it with me. The doctor said I have a herniated disc."

Lin Yi'an carefully examined the film, handed it to him, and sat down to take her aunt's pulse. After taking her pulse, she said, "There's nothing seriously wrong. She probably caught a chill from being in an air-conditioned room recently because of the hot weather. Cousin, please help Aunt to the examination room first. I'll go change into my work clothes."

Lin Yi'an entered the examination room, had her aunt lie face down on the treatment bed, lifted her clothes, leaned over, and gently pressed on her lower back with precise movements: "Does it hurt here?"

Aunt: "Yes, that's the place."

Lin Yi'an: "Does it hurt here?"

Aunt: "It doesn't hurt there."

After examining her, Lin Yi'an asked, "Auntie, you need acupuncture combined with medication for faster results. Have you had acupuncture before?"

Aunt: "I've had it done before, so go ahead and get it done. I'm not afraid of needles."

Lin Yi'an took out the silver needles, lowered her head, and began to insert them into the acupuncture point. Her expression was focused, and her selection of the acupuncture points was precise. While slowly twisting and lifting the needles, she asked, "Does it feel sore and distended?"

Aunt: "It feels sour and bloated."

Lin Yi-an: "This is because he's angry."

Tan Qingwen and Wang Yuehua sat on the sofa to keep him company.

Tan Chengjun and Zhou Mingshi were also sitting on the sofa in the back. After Lin Yi'an finished giving acupuncture, he turned to Zhou Mingshi and said, "Don't be fooled by Miss Lin's young face. When she put on her white coat and calmly gave my mother acupuncture, her confident expression was truly admirable."

Zhou Mingshi smiled and looked at Lin Yi'an, who was always composed.

Seeing his expression, Tan Chengjun couldn't help but tease him in a low voice: "I didn't understand why you chose Miss Lin before, but now I understand a little better."

Zhou Mingshi said, "She's great, and we're a good match."

Tan Chengjun lowered his voice and asked, "Just suitable?"

Zhou Mingshi: "..."

Just when Tan Chengjun thought he wouldn't answer, he slowly said, "It's already extremely rare to be compatible. Some people can't find a partner who is in sync with them and suitable for them in their entire lives. I am very lucky."

Lin Yi'an is excellent in every way. He admires her. She is his fiancée and future wife. It was easy for him to fall in love with her, but in all these years, he has only met one person who is right for him.

Tan Chengjun pondered for a moment: "That makes sense."
