Zhuang Jingmo is a true big shot. Standing in his position, he meets countless people of all kinds every day. In his view, Jiang Ning just made the right choice and defended her dignity in the industry.
Zhou Yingzhi continued, "Third Brother, if you spend more time with Shengbao, you'll realize that she's really different from other girls."
That's right.
Zhou Yingzhi wanted to bring Zhuang Jingmo and Jiang Ning together.
Zhuang Jingmo is thirty years old this year and his health is not good. Although he had been in relationships in his early years, none of them worked out, which worried his parents a lot. So, Zhou Yingzhi's aunt and uncle asked Zhou Yingzhi to take this opportunity to introduce Zhuang Jingmo to a girlfriend.
Zhuang Jingmo then shook his head, "I'm not interested in her."
"Why?" Zhou Yingzhi asked, puzzled. "Is it because Sheng Bao isn't pretty enough?"
Zhuang Jingmo smiled and said, "It's undeniable that she is very beautiful, but while she is beautiful, she has no soul!"
Zhuang Jingmo doesn't need a vase.
If he was just looking for a pretty face, he wouldn't have waited until now.
Zhou Yingzhi immediately said, "Third Brother, you've misunderstood. Shengbao is no mere pretty face."
Jiang Ning was simply the most interesting girl she had ever met.
Zhuang Jingmo remained silent.
Zhou Yingzhi turned to look at Zhuang Jingmo and then said, "I brought so many girlfriends here today, isn't there anyone you like? If you have your eye on anyone, just tell me and I'll help you make the connection."
"To me, they are all a bunch of ordinary people."
Zhou Yingzhi: "..."
Jiang Ning carefully put the pulled weeds into her backpack, and then went to pull another weed.
Seeing that the people ahead had gone further and further away, Zhou Yingzhi walked curiously to Jiang Ning's side and asked, "Shengbao, why are you pulling up weeds?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "This is Hedyotis diffusa, which is also a traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effects of treating lung heat and cough, sore throat, and snake bites. It can also enhance the immune function."
Jiang Ning is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, so she has a slight occupational hazard: wherever she goes, if she sees Chinese herbs, she must stop and collect them.
In case of unforeseen circumstances.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingzhi asked in surprise, "Really?"
“Of course it’s true.” Jiang Ning nodded slightly. “If you don’t believe me, you can check it on Baidu.”
Zhou Yingzhi immediately opened Baidu, took a picture and searched for the answer. Sure enough, the answer on Baidu was exactly the same as what Jiang Ning had said.
"Shengbao, you're amazing!" Zhou Yingzhi gave Jiang Ning a thumbs up.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Everyone has their own expertise."
Zhou Yingzhi pulled Zhuang Jingmo over and continued, "By the way, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Zhuang Jingmo."
Zhuang Jingmo extended his hand to Jiang Ning, "Hello, Miss Shi, this is Zhuang Jingmo."
“Jingmo?” Jiang Ning reached out and shook hands with Zhuang Jingmo, murmuring his name.
Zhuang Jingmo frowned imperceptibly.
Are he and Jiang Ning very familiar with each other?
She called him by his name the first time they met?
Is she trying to get close to him knowing his identity?
He hates people like that.
The next second, Jiang Ning continued, "Jingmo, pungent in taste and warm in nature. It is made from pine soot and colloids. When applied externally, it can stop bleeding, and when applied with vinegar, it can also reduce swelling. Mr. Zhuang's name is taken from a traditional Chinese medicine?"
Zhuang Jingmo was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Yes, that's right."
The Zhuang family's grandfather was an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
So they gave Zhuang Jingmo this name.
In the past, when people mentioned his name, they would always associate it with ink.
Jiang Ning was the first person to correctly state the origin of his name.
Even Zhou Yingzhi was surprised, "Third Brother, so your name is a Chinese medicine! How come I've never heard you mention it before?"
“You didn’t ask either,” Zhuang Jingmo said, looking at Zhou Yingzhi.
Zhou Yingzhi: "..."
Zhuang Jingmo always manages to leave her speechless with his retorts; no wonder she still can't find a girlfriend.
The Su family.
Madam Su was away for a few days.
Su Hanzhou had been waiting for Old Madam Su to come home.
At 9:30 a.m., we finally welcomed Madam Su home.
"Grandma, you must save me this time!" Su Hanzhou quickly went over and took the old lady's arm.
"What's wrong?" Old Madam Su looked at Su Hanzhou, feeling puzzled.
Su Hanzhou glanced at Li Yan beside him, unsure of how to begin.
During the few days that Madam Su was away, Li Yan was afraid of affecting the old lady's mood, so she did not tell her what happened after Su Hanzhou went to the Shi family.
so.
Old Madam Su had no idea that her grandson had caused such a huge mess.
Upon receiving a look from her son, Li Yan was momentarily at a loss for words, her eyes filled with hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Old Madam Su immediately chuckled, "What's going on? Why isn't anyone saying anything?"
Su Hanzhou scratched his head, mentally preparing his words.
As if remembering something, Madam Su asked, "By the way, did Hanzhou go to the Shi family to see Shengbao?"
It would have been better if Old Madam Su hadn't said those words; they only made Su Hanzhou feel worse.
“Mom, something unexpected happened when we went to the Shi family. We might have offended Old Madam Shi.” Li Yan continued, “We might need you to help us explain.”
"It's alright, Qiongfang isn't the kind of person to be petty. Leave this to me." Old Madam Su didn't take the matter to heart.
Li Yan swallowed hard. "Mom, please let me finish what I have to say."
“Yes,” Madam Su nodded, “Go on.”
Li Yan recounted the events of that day in detail.
Upon hearing that Su Hanzhou not only returned the jade pendant but also proposed to annul the engagement, Old Madam Su was so angry that she almost fainted. She raised her foot and kicked Su Hanzhou, "You scoundrel! Do you know that the relationship that our Su family and the Shi family have worked so hard to build has been ruined by you!"
Su Hanzhou didn't dare say a word in rebuttal. "Grandma, I know I was wrong. I really like Shi Sheng. Please put in a good word for me! Don't you like Shi Sheng too?"
"You've gone to such extremes and you still expect the Shi family to forgive you? Don't even dream about it!"
Li Yan then spoke up, "Mom, now that it's already happened, there's no use blaming Hanzhou. Why don't you think of a way to help Hanzhou?"
"You're an idiot too!" Old Mrs. Su shouted angrily. "I specifically told you to keep an eye on Hanzhou and not let him do anything reckless. How could you not remember what I said?"
Li Yan lowered her head, her eyes filled with a look of guilt.
It's definitely her fault!
She simply didn't take her mother-in-law's words to heart.
Madam Su turned to look at Su Hanzhou and said angrily, "You dug this hole yourself, so you have to fix it yourself. I don't have the ability to help you!"
"Grandma!" Su Hanzhou was somewhat unwilling and reached out to tug at the sleeve of the old lady Su.
Old Madam Su brushed Su Hanzhou's hand away and said, "You have disappointed me greatly!"
This way.
The hiking activity is still ongoing.
Jiang Ning walked ahead.
Zhou Yingzhi and Zhuang Jingmo walked behind.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Zhou Yingzhi was panting heavily. She pulled Zhuang Jingmo to sit on a rock by the roadside and said, "Third Brother, I can't go on anymore. I need to rest for a while!"
Zhuang Jingmo was also covered in sweat.
Jiang Ning stopped and took out two bottles of mineral water from her backpack, handing them to the two of them. "Yingzhi, you and Mr. Zhuang rest and replenish your fluids. I'll go check over there."
Zhou Yingzhi looked up at Jiang Ning and saw that Jiang Ning's face was not red and her heart was not skipping a beat. Her eyes were full of surprise. "Shengbao, aren't you tired at all?"
