Chapter 74 Taking the Pulse
Then, in her eyes, she saw Horstley take another bite of the pastry from the spot where she had bitten it.
Jiang Qin pursed her lips and glanced at Huo Sili with a meaningful look in her eyes.
But clearly, Horstley couldn't see it at this moment.
Horst finished the pastry slowly and deliberately.
He put down his chopsticks, as if savoring the memory, and nodded.
Then he looked over and said, "Hmm, it does taste pretty good."
Jiang Qin looked at the food on the table, completely ignoring him.
The old lady was sitting right next to her, so she naturally saw the interactions between her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
But to the old lady, these scenes were like being soaked in syrup, cloyingly sweet.
Qiu Huilan smiled and said, "Okay, you guys eat slowly. Grandma will go for a walk in the garden to digest."
"We'll go to the banquet hall together at ten o'clock."
Huo Chishen was still eating breakfast when Huo Sili responded with a "okay".
Jiang Qin really wanted to go for a walk with the old lady, but Huo Sili gave her a look first.
A thought flashed through my mind, but I didn't get up.
They just said in the elevator that they should cooperate and act out the loving relationship between husband and wife, so it's a bit unreasonable to just quit now.
However, it's still early until 10 o'clock.
Jiang Qin stayed upstairs for nearly twenty more minutes.
Having feigned sweetness enough, and with the maids who were supposed to be taking care of the old lady all in the garden downstairs with her, she no longer needed to worry too much and took the elevator downstairs alone.
Jiang Qin was still thinking about the fact that the traditional Chinese medicine clinic where Old Wu worked could probably cure the old lady's illness last night when she went to sleep.
She also wrote it in her memo, and her phone reminded her of it this morning while she was having breakfast at her apartment.
When we arrived at the garden, the old lady was taking a walk, just as she had said.
Upon hearing her footsteps, the last maid turned around and bowed slightly to her.
She quickly stepped forward and told the old lady that she had arrived.
Upon hearing the report, Qiu Huilan stopped and turned to look in Jiang Qin's direction, her expression clearly showing affection.
"Qinqin's here? Have you eaten? Come here and take a walk with Grandma."
Jiang Qin stepped forward and answered Qiu Huilan's questions one by one. Before long, she accompanied the old lady for a walk.
They steered the conversation back to the fact that the traditional Chinese medicine clinic could cure the old lady's illness.
After several conversations, the old lady agreed to give it a try tomorrow.
Since it involves physical health, Jiang Qin didn't want to say much more. After all, too much of anything is bad, and the old lady had always been reluctant to seek medical help. It was already good enough that she received this advice.
Too much advice can backfire and make it seem like you have ulterior motives.
After finishing that matter, Jiang Qin naturally changed the subject and started chatting about other everyday things.
The old lady clearly preferred talking about these things, and she chatted happily with Jiang Qin, laughing heartily several times.
Just as I was about to laugh again, a familiar sound of footsteps came from behind me.
Jiang Qin's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm.
The next second, Huo Sili put his hand on Jiang Qin's waist and pulled her closer to his warm chest, in a very intimate manner.
Qiu Huilan glanced at her grandson's actions, then looked at her granddaughter-in-law, and smiled with obvious joy.
After pausing for a few seconds, as if realizing something, she suddenly looked at Jiang Qin and said, "Grandma thinks that TCM clinic is pretty good."
Huo Sili raised an eyebrow and looked at the old lady, then at Jiang Qin, his gaze clearly somewhat strange.
"What traditional Chinese medicine clinic? When did it start?"
Just as Jiang Qin was about to speak, the old lady quickly recounted the events to Huo Sili, so fast that Jiang Qin didn't even have time to react.
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Horsley clearly wanted to ask something, but before he could, he did.
The old lady suddenly took her hand, and then took Horstley's hand.
Jiang Qin blinked.
Horst raised an eyebrow slightly.
Then, the two saw the old lady put her hands together and heard Qiu Huilan say something like a playful old woman.
"However, Grandma needs someone to accompany her when she goes to the doctor."
He spoke much softer, as if he were whispering to them.
"Grandma doesn't feel comfortable going with anyone else, but she'll feel at ease with just the two of you. Would you like to come with Grandma?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qin couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
However, considering that he was being treated by Dr. Wu, he knew he wouldn't reveal anything, and quickly regained his composure.
That's settled. I'll accompany the old lady to that traditional Chinese medicine clinic this Sunday to check on her condition.
……
The birthday banquet went smoothly on Tuesday, and the following days were also relatively peaceful.
Sunday arrived in the blink of an eye.
Although the ice between the two showed no signs of melting.
But after all, one was a great benefactor and the other was her own grandmother, so the two of them always held the same opinion on the old lady's affairs.
That day, the two arrived at the old house early to pick up the old lady and take her to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
Unfortunately, as soon as I entered, I ran into the senior doctor of the traditional Chinese medicine clinic instructing the interns.
As soon as Jiang Qin entered the gate, several young faces approached her: "Miss, we are interns practicing pulse diagnosis. Would it be convenient for us to take your pulse? It won't take up much of your time."
Jiang Qin's heart skipped a beat; she tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Qiu Huilan, who was standing next to her, was quite happy and took her hand, saying, "Hey, Qinqin, don't go. Let her give you a massage."
Then he looked at the young girl and said, "Young lady, could you take a look and see if my granddaughter-in-law needs any attention? She had abdominal pain before, should she take something to help her recover?"
