Chapter 438 Love Makes Those in High Position Bow
Zhou Jian arrived late and left early. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with this marriage. He even chose the wedding photos casually.
When he left, he saw Meng Anran and Qin Mu communicating with the studio staff about the shooting location and set design.
Zhou Jian had met Qin Mu in a business negotiation. At that time, Qin Mu always held his head high and controlled the overall situation with an arrogant and unquestionable attitude.
But now, Qin Mu sat on the sofa with his back hunched, his eyes only filled with the girl he had been waiting for for twenty-one years.
A young master like him, who came from a wealthy family, lived a life of luxury, and had smooth sailing in his studies, career, and life, would actually bend down for a woman.
Love makes the powerful bow their heads and the timid become brave.
Zhou Jian now had a deep understanding of this sentence.
He thought that if he could marry the girl he loved, he might be willing to give everything for her like Qin Mu.
Unfortunately, he is not as good as Qin Mu.
You can't choose your own marriage.
The phone in his pocket kept vibrating, and he answered it: "Dad, what's going on?"
"Where have you been? Come to the city hospital right away, your grandma is having a heart attack!"
"What?!" Zhou Jian frowned suddenly, "I know, I'll go over right away."
The sound of his anxious voice was quite loud. Meng Anran heard it and looked up to see his back as he hurried out the door.
"What's wrong with him?" She didn't know what was going on with Zhou Jian, but seeing how anxious and sweaty he looked, it didn't seem like a work problem.
Qin Mu followed her gaze outside and saw Zhou Jian got into the car and stepped on the accelerator, almost taking off.
He said thoughtfully, "Zhou Jian's grandmother has a heart disease and hasn't been well recently. She's been in the hospital several times. Seeing how worried he is, I guess something's happened to her again."
"Oh..." Meng Anran nodded. There was no need for her to interfere in other people's family affairs. After all, she was not very familiar with them.
Municipal hospital.
Zhou Jian parked the car and ran towards the ICU without stopping.
He accidentally bumped into a little girl on the road, he slammed on the brakes, picked up the little girl and brushed the dust off her knees.
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and accidentally bumped into you." He was anxious in his heart, but when he saw the girl's red eyes, he felt too guilty to leave immediately.
"It's okay, brother, you can go now." The girl sniffed firmly and didn't let the tears fall.
Her mother was in the hospital, and the hospital was full of sick people.
This brother is so anxious, his family must be sicker than her mother.
Zhou Jian ruffled the girl's soft hair and asked, "What's your name?"
"Wu Yu." The girl replied.
"I've got it. I'll treat you to ice cream next time!" Zhou Jian wiped away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes and left in a hurry.
The Zhou family was guarding the door of the ICU ward.
When Zhou Jian arrived, the doctor just came out of the ward.
"The situation has been temporarily stabilized, but the patient is old and his physical functions have declined, so he is at risk of relapse at any time. Long-term hospitalization for observation is recommended." The doctor said and left.
The doctor spoke tactfully, but his words clearly implied that grandma could pass away at any time.
Zhou Jian's eyes suddenly turned red.
He was raised by his grandmother, who is the closest person to him.
After graduating from college, my grandmother's health has been poor and she always worries that she won't be able to see his wedding day.
So even though he didn't like the marriage arranged by his parents, he still got the marriage certificate, hoping to make his grandmother happy and maybe her health would gradually improve.
Unfortunately, things went against my wishes and my grandmother's condition continued to deteriorate, fainting and shortness of breath from time to time.
He hasn't had his wedding yet, and grandma hasn't had a chance to drink his wedding wine yet...
Zhou Jian slowly clenched his fists. Sadness enveloped him, causing his whole body to tremble uncontrollably.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are all destiny. Your grandma is old..." Zhou's father choked up and could not say the rest.
He patted his son's shoulder and said, "Take good care of your grandma."
Zhou Jian clenched his teeth and hummed in a muffled voice.
Fate cannot be defied, but... he still wants his grandmother to stay with him for a while longer.
Watch him get married and have children, watch him inherit the family business.
If Western medicine doesn’t work, then try Traditional Chinese Medicine!
Zhou Jian thought of Yatang.
Although Mr. Zhao Cizhen of Yatang cannot bring the dead back to life, his medical skills are superb and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the living Hua Tuo.
Maybe there is a way!

Three days passed.
Meng Anran packed her luggage and Qin Mu drove her to Yatang to continue her medical studies.
"Although I'm not very interested in practicing medicine and saving lives, I'm the master's only disciple after all. I can't let his medical skills be lost."
Meng Anran leaned in the passenger seat and sighed to dispel the depression in her heart.
The master was so strict that she could foresee what kind of life she would lead in Yatang in the next few months.
By the time she leaves on her journey to become an apprentice, she might have already been scented by the medicinal herbs in the elegant hall.
Qin Mu chuckled, "You should think about it from another perspective. If you hadn't learned some skills from Master Zhao back then, Lin Lu, Xiao Yu, and Situ would probably all be gone now."
Meng Anran curled her lips and said, "Yeah, it's always good to learn more about self-defense."
After more than two hours' drive, they arrived at Yatang. Qin Mu went in and greeted them, but was then driven away by Zhao Cizhen.
Zhao Cizheng pointed to the room at the end of the corridor and said to Meng Anran, "You can stay in your previous room. It's already been cleaned up for you. Put your luggage in there, and then go to the pharmacy to make some medicine."
Meng Anran sighed secretly, but still smiled: "Okay, Master."
Zhao An helped Meng Anran pack her luggage and then accompanied her to the pharmacy to boil medicine.
Meng Anran hasn't been back for many years. The layout here remains unchanged, but the place where the medicinal herbs are placed is different.
In order to help her get familiar with the place, Zhao An stayed with her in the pharmacy for a long time.
"Ever since I learned that you were willing to return to Yatang to continue your medical studies, the headmaster has been in much better spirits than before. He enjoys eating every day, and even his sleep quality has improved a lot. He ordered us to clean the room early, and he's been looking forward to your coming!"
Zhao An revealed the news in a low voice. Seeing how energetic Mr. Zhao was, the apprentices were also happy.
They were picked up by Old Zhao and have been with him for more than twenty years. How could they not know his temper?
The old man is just arrogant. He seems not to care, but in fact he cares the most about his little disciple Meng Anran.
In fact, the apprentices in Yatang are no different from disciples, but Zhao Cizhen always thinks about his little disciples and is unwilling to let the apprentices become his disciples.
Most of the time, apprentices learn on their own and learn from Master Zhao. If they don’t understand something, they will ask him for advice, and Master Zhao will answer their questions seriously.
Zhao An suddenly sighed, "The master is old. He's afraid that his eyesight might blur and he might prescribe the wrong medicine, so he doesn't leave the temple easily. The door of this elegant hall is locked tightly. If anyone in the nearby village comes to see a sick family, it's the apprentice who will take care of them."
