Ning Hao knew that Jiang Qiao had come to treat his illness, but he hadn't seen her before. He heard from his grandmother that the man was almost unconscious and that Song Shutian had taken him to the next room.

So, seeing Jiang Qiao made him happier than anyone else. He grinned and said, "Thanks to you, I'm back. I'm so grateful. From now on, I'm yours. I'll do whatever you say."

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Come on, shut up. We can talk about it tomorrow. I'm leaving now. You guys continue."

Ning Hao was dumbfounded, and Zhu Lin was also anxious. What kind of relationship did the girl have with their Haozi? How come he left after only exchanging a few words? Was it because of this woman in front of him?

The old lady glanced at Xiao Jing, and her face immediately darkened. She wasn't blind during the time she had taken care of her grandson. Although this woman had feelings for her grandson, she really didn't want to judge her when it came to taking care of him. She only looked at actions; nothing else mattered.

The young man sent by the army cleaned up the grandson perfectly, but this girl secretly took all the credit for herself. Luckily, I asked the young man who was taking care of the grandson, otherwise, I would have been deceived by this woman.

Jiang Qiao left very quickly, without giving Xiao Jing a second glance. Song Shutian and Qiao Jie said goodbye to the people inside and left as well. The doctor who had come with them also left with Jiang Qiao.

Ning Hao turned to Xiao Jing and said, "Comrade Xiao Jing, I'm home now. You and the doctor can go back. There's no point in staying here. There are many more comrades like me who need your medical treatment and care."

I'm able to move around on my own right now, and I don't need any injections or medication, so let's not waste resources. You can leave tomorrow.

After saying that, he closed his eyes and went to sleep. He knew who Xiao Jing was, and he understood what she was thinking. Unfortunately, he couldn't give her what she wanted, so he might as well make his stance clear and not waste anyone's time.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing became displeased. "Comrade Ning Hao, I was sent by the higher-ups to take care of you. I can't go back until you recover, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the leaders. If you have any objections, you can go and report it to the leaders. Otherwise, you can only accept the fact that I'm taking care of you."

On the other hand, we do know each other, so it's not like we're complete strangers. What's wrong? Are you starting to avoid me now that you've seen my fiancée?

Although Zhu Lin didn't know who this "little fiancée" Xiao Jing was talking about was, her intuition told her that this was probably just some bastard trying to fool people with Jiang Qiao.

However, she couldn't bring Jiang Qiao into it in front of Xiao Jing. Putting aside whether the child agreed or not, just this statement alone would probably make her fall out with her grandson. It would ruin the child's reputation.

Clearing his throat, he said, "That Xiao Jing, Haozi does have a fiancée, but she lives in the countryside. I arranged it for her back then. What's wrong? It sounds like there's some misunderstanding here."

Xiao Jing looked at Zhu Lin in surprise, "Wasn't that Ning Hao's fiancée just now?"

Zhu Lin sneered, "Xiao Jing, you're so young, how come you're acting like an old woman? Your eyesight is failing? Jiang Qiao is so young, you can't just spout nonsense and ruin her reputation. If Jiang Qiao finds out and holds her accountable, I won't be responsible."

Ning Hao gave his grandmother an approving look. Seeing her grandson smile, the old lady affectionately patted his head. "You rascal, didn't I tell you not to tell anyone? Why did you still tell everyone? We already agreed that we couldn't go public before you were old enough, but you wouldn't listen—"

Seeing Zhu Lin's actions, Xiao Jing found them very irritating. You old lady, even if it's your own grandson, you don't have to be so affectionate. How old are you? Touching his head like that, how can you look so indecent?

Jiang Qiao, who was outside, had no idea what was happening inside. She had been stopped by the male doctor, mainly because he was too curious. Jiang Qiao patiently explained everything to this eager-to-learn doctor.

"Perhaps you don't understand all the terms I'm using. Let me put it this way: Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. There are many medicinal herbs that, in the eyes of ordinary people, might not even be considered as good as weeds. However, they can be used as medicine to treat diseases. Of course, they can also be mixed together to make poison. If you are interested, you can read more books on traditional Chinese medicine. If there is an opportunity in the future, we can meet and discuss it again, okay? I'm really a little tired today, and I want to go back and rest."

The doctor was aware of Jiang Qiao's current condition. "Alright, alright, you've explained it so clearly. I'll look it up in the book if I don't understand anything. Jiang Qiao, it's a pleasure to meet you and be your friend."

Jiang Qiao extended her hand. "I'm also very happy to meet you. Although we're not colleagues, we're both doctors with kind hearts. Let's work hard together in the future."

After walking out of the hospital, Jiang Qiao finally asked about Xiao Jing.

Song Shutian gave a wry smile. "I thought you didn't care about this woman. What, are you interested in her?"

Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I'm not interested in her, but I hope she doesn't mess with me. But today she seems to be hostile towards me, so just to be safe, I'd better find out more. I can't fight a battle unprepared, can I?"

Song Shutian chuckled, "You're so clever, you're practically a spirit now. Don't worry, even if that person wants to deal with you, they'll have to see if I agree. And there's our section chief, who would dare touch you? You're one of his top lieutenants now."

However, it would be good to know about the other party's situation..."

Upon hearing that she was the army commander's daughter, Jiang Qiao curled her lip. "I thought she was so capable on her own, but it turns out she relies on her father. Tsk tsk, I don't want to talk about her anymore."

"Brother Song, we've got this agreed. If this person ever dares to do anything to me or my family behind our backs, I won't tolerate it. Even if her father were a division commander, or even a general, I wouldn't stand for it. It's just that the ranks are different, so my methods will naturally differ."

Song Shutian patted Jiang Qiao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to my father later and ask him to keep an eye on this. They don't have the guts to mess with you. As for your father and the others, those old men are still around. It's not his place as a military commander to interfere."

Oh, I forgot to tell you something, Lu Zhiyuan got promoted again—”

Jiang Qiao was shocked by the news. "What does this mean? Uncle Lu got promoted? Where did he get promoted to, and what will he do?"

"Commander, tell me, has he been promoted?"

Jiang Qiao smiled, then sighed, "Let's take it one step at a time. There are plenty of army commanders out there, and how long they can hold their positions is anyone's guess. But it's a good thing, and it would be even better if we could climb the ranks."

Song Shutian gave a wry smile. "You silly girl, you're not greedy at all. What, you want him to be a minister? How many steps would that take? Take it slow—"

Jiang Qiao and Qiao Jie weren't in a hurry to go back. Instead, they went to Song Shutian's workplace, mainly to use his phone to contact his father and save money wherever possible.

Gu Zhengfeng had only heard that his daughter had woken up, but he had no idea to what extent.

I don't even know if the letter has arrived yet. I just finished my work and was sitting in my chair feeling really down when Jiang Qiao called.
