The next morning, Huo Jinning got up early to accompany her grandmother to the Zhou family's hospital for a medical check-up, and she had already made an appointment with Zhou Haoran in advance.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhou Haoran warmly greeted them and quickly arranged for his grandmother to undergo all the necessary examinations.
Huo Jinning followed closely behind her grandmother, completing one examination after another, running around doing everything.
I ran from the first floor to the third floor, and then back from the third floor to the first floor... Before I knew it, most of the day had passed.
Finally, all the tests were completed, and the final results were presented in the form of a film.
Huo Jinning handed the films to Zhou Haoran.
"Grandma, Ningning, please sit down for a while."
Zhou Haoran smiled and spoke to his grandmother, while gesturing for Huo Jinning to sit down as well.
He was wearing a clean white lab coat and stood tall and straight.
His face wore a gentle smile that made people feel warm and at ease, and his voice was deep and gentle.
“Okay, Brother Zhou. Come on, Grandma, please walk slowly and watch your step. Let’s sit over here.”
Huo Jinning carefully helped her grandmother to the seat and gently helped her sit down.
"Grandma, I just took a close look at your medical report, and the overall situation is pretty good."
"I'm generally healthy, except for a slight issue with my lungs, but don't worry, it's not serious."
"Wait a moment, I'll prescribe some medication for your symptoms. Take it at home for a while, then come back to see me for a follow-up check-up to see how your recovery is going," Zhou Haoran said gently.
"Brother Zhou, really? Is my grandmother alright?" Huo Jinning asked anxiously, still somewhat worried.
"Yes, Ningning. According to the current test results, apart from that minor issue with her lungs, Grandma is indeed fine."
“However, you should still pay more attention to physical exercise in your daily life. You can take walks or practice Tai Chi. You should also pay more attention to your diet and try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to maintain a balanced diet. This will be better for your health,” Zhou Haoran explained to Huo Jinning in a gentle and patient tone.
"That's great, thank you, Brother Zhou! I understand."
Huo Jinning felt much more relaxed after hearing this, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she sincerely thanked Zhou Haoran.
[It seems that in the original book, my grandmother died because of a lung problem.]
[This Zhao Qi is inhuman. My grandmother raised him for so many years, and he still managed to do that.]
Huo Jinning felt indignant and pondered to herself.
At this moment, Zhou Haoran glanced at his watch and said, "Ningning, you're too kind. Grandma, I'm sorry, I have an emergency surgery coming up, so I can't chat with you any longer. We can have a proper chat another time."
Huo Jinning nodded quickly: "Okay, Brother Zhou, work is important, you go ahead and get busy."
Song Moli chimed in, "Haoran, you've really worked hard. Thank you for your help today."
Zhou Haoran smiled and waved his hand: "Grandma, don't be so polite with me. You watched me grow up. In my heart, I am just like Anan, your own grandson. We're family, so there's no need for formalities."
Upon hearing this, Song Moli smiled with satisfaction and praised, "Yes, yes, you are all good children. Grandma is so happy to have such filial younger generations like you."
Then, Zhou Haoran stood up and said to Huo Jinning, "Ningning, you and Grandma wait a moment. I'll go arrange for someone to bring the medicine over. I have to get there first to prepare for the surgery, so I'll be leaving now."
Huo Jinning expressed her understanding, saying, "Brother Zhou, you go ahead and do your work. We don't have anything else to do here."
Song Moli chimed in, "Yes, Haoran, you can focus on your work. Grandma is fine."
When only Huo Jinning and her grandmother were in Zhou Haoran's office, Huo Jinning started to have wild thoughts.
[I wonder how things are going between Brother Zhou and Xiao Ran?]
[How could I forget to ask that?]
I wonder if they're together or not?
[Lately, I don't know what I've been so busy with. How could I have forgotten something so important?]
[I don't have high hopes anymore; in the original book, the two were destined to be together but ultimately apart.]
[What a pity.]
Just as Huo Jinning was secretly marveling at the relationship between the two, a knock on the door suddenly rang out.
thump thump thump...
"Please come in."
Huo Jinning initially thought it was just an ordinary nurse delivering medicine and didn't pay much attention. However, when the door opened, she was surprised to find that the person who came was actually Xu Xiaoran.
“Ningning…”
"Xiaoran..."
The two spoke almost simultaneously, their voices carrying a hint of undisguised surprise.
Clearly, neither of them expected to meet here.
Xu Xiaoran had changed a lot since she first met Huo Jinning.
She was wearing flat shoes and had no makeup on. She exuded a gentle and graceful temperament, completely unlike her former passionate and unrestrained self.
"Xiao Ran, you and Brother Zhou..." Huo Jinning asked expectantly, her eyes gleaming with a burning desire for gossip.
"We're married," Xu Xiaoran replied shyly.
"Really?" Huo Jinning was so excited she almost jumped up. "That's wonderful! I sincerely wish you all the best!"
"Mmm." Xu Xiaoran nodded gently, a happy smile on her face.
"Ningning, who is this?" At this moment, Xu Xiaoran noticed Song Moli standing to the side and asked curiously.
"Xiao Ran, this is my maternal grandmother. Grandma, this is Xiao Ran." Huo Jinning introduced the two to each other with a smile and a gentle tone.
"Grandma, hello!" Xu Xiaoran bowed slightly and greeted the old woman very politely, her face showing just the right amount of courtesy and kindness.
After exchanging pleasantries, the three chatted happily. However, not long after, the nurse brought over the medication.
Due to her advanced age and the exertion of a morning's work, Song Moli appeared quite exhausted.
Therefore, Huo Jinning decided not to talk to Xu Xiaoran any longer, but to send his grandmother home to rest first.
Before parting, they agreed to meet again when they had time.
Huo Jinning also prepared a lot of high-quality tea for her maternal grandfather.
All of these tea leaves were "scavenged" from her father and elder brother.
Although everyone else knew what was going on, no one exposed it; they simply watched Huo Jinning tirelessly busy herself with this.
After learning that Song Moli was alright, Zhao Jianguo finally felt relieved.
He had initially worried that his wife's health would be severely damaged by the accident, but now it seems the situation is relatively optimistic.
Not only that, he also secretly arranged for people to test those tea leaves.
The test results have now been revealed—just as Huo Jinning said, these teas have serious problems, and long-term consumption could indeed lead to heart failure and death.
I couldn't help but feel a little scared; it seems many things will need to be rearranged...
