"Yes, the old man thought I couldn't bear the hardship and coarse clothes following him, so he sold the bracelet and bought me two sets of nice clothes."

"Later, I found out about it, so I redeemed the bracelet and gave your grandfather a good scolding. He knew he was in the wrong, so he gave me the bracelet as a token of apology."

"So that's how it is." Lin Yin smiled: "Grandma, can I take a look?"

"Of course." Old Mrs. An said as she was about to take off the bracelet.

"Grandma..." Lin Yin immediately stopped her: "I'm just taking a look, no need to pick it."

Old Mrs. An looked at her, said "Okay", and then stretched out her hand.

Lin Yin stared at the jade bracelet, seemingly examining it, but her fingers were unintentionally taking Mrs. An's pulse...

Old Mrs. An looked at her, suddenly took off the jade bracelet, and then stretched her hand in front of Lin Yin.

"You are such a jerk. If you want to take my pulse, why don't you just say so? Why are you doing all this nonsense? Here, let's check it out."

Lin Yin didn't expect that her little thoughts were seen through by Old Lady An. She laughed awkwardly: "Grandma..."

"You child!" Old Mrs. An's eyes were filled with doting, and she tapped her head fiercely with her finger. "I raised you, little girl. Your grandma is no fool. She says she comes to see me, but every time she does, she's just looking for an excuse to feel my pulse."

Her little disguise was exposed, so Lin Yin went ahead and took Mrs. An's pulse seriously.

Seeing her granddaughter's serious expression, Grandma An was very pleased: "I knew you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be Mr. Bai's apprentice. Grandma is so proud!"

Lin Yin was surprised: "How do you know..."

"How come I don't know?" Old Mrs. An looked disdainful, as if to say, 'Don't treat me like a fool.'

"Everyone in this village knows that Mr. Bai is very hard to hire. If you don't have any connection with him, you won't be able to see him at all. The Bai Family Clinic is also run by his grandson Bai Zhiyuan. Mr. Bai and I didn't know each other before, so how could I not be suspicious when he came here on purpose? I also heard that Mr. Bai accepted an apprentice, and it's a girl, so he thought of you, little girl."

Lin Yin smiled embarrassedly.

Lin Yin has always kept the alias of "Mr. Bai's only disciple" secret, except for the time when it was exposed during the family split. She is usually very cautious, fearing that something might happen if the news got out. Lin Yin is a person who fears trouble.

I didn’t expect that Mrs. An could figure it out herself.

Lin Yin withdrew her hand, and Mrs. An put the bracelet back on: "What's wrong? What happened to me?"

"It's no big deal." Lin Yin said perfunctorily.

"You come to check my pulse time and time again, and even invited Mr. Bai to come. How could there be nothing serious?" Old Mrs. An looked at her and said, "I know my own body well. If I'm really sick, please tell me immediately. I can handle it."

Lin Yin was still struggling with how to say it before, but now Mrs. An asked it herself.

Lin Yin hesitated for a few seconds, then replied, "You have lung cancer."

“…”

Old Mrs. An never thought that she had cancer.

"But fortunately I discovered it in time. It's only in the early stages and not serious. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, there will be no problem." Lin Yin was afraid that Mr. An would think too much, so she continued quickly.

Mrs. An was silent for a long time before she spoke with a look of disbelief: "Really?"
