Ruan Xinxue furrowed her brows slightly, evidently not liking the woman in front of her. She turned and whispered to Qin Yang, "Qin Yang, this is my second sister-in-law."
"Second Sister-In-Law, this is the little doctor I invited."
Ruan Xinxue pointed at Qin Yang and told the plump woman.
The plump woman was momentarily stunned, then she scrutinized Qin Yang and burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Haha... You're killing me! This is the doctor you invited, just a little yellow-haired kid?"
Qin Yang frowned, his face soured. He wouldn't take this disrespect lightly, he'd retaliate immediately. Just as he was about to react, a fragrant breeze whispered in his ear.
"Qin Yang, sorry, my second sister-in-law tends to be a bit sharp-tongued, don't mind her."
Ruan Xinxue stood very close to Qin Yang, apologetically.
"Ruan Xinxue, don't you care about Grandpa's health, inviting such a kid who hasn't even grown up yet?" The plump woman lectured with a self-righteous air.
"Second Sister-In-Law, please speak politely to the doctor. Grandpa personally requested him. If he wasn't feeling unwell, he might have invited him himself." Ruan Xinxue argued.
"Hmph, Grandpa's orders?" The plump woman sneered, "Keep spinning your tales. Would Grandpa really ask you to invite a yellow-haired kid?"
"Forget it, for your sake, I won't argue with this shrew. Let's go."
Saying this, Qin Yang ignored the plump woman, took Ruan Xinxue's wrist, and headed towards the villa.
"Shrew?"
The plump woman was momentarily stunned. In her status, no one had ever dared to call her that to her face. She hesitated briefly, then her voice became sharp, "You little yellow-haired brat, who are you calling a shrew?"
By this time, Qin Yang had already entered the villa. Afraid of disturbing Grandpa, the plump woman could only suppress her anger.
"Hmph, what's there to flaunt? My Liang specially invited Zhou Yizhen from Jiangbei Province to treat Grandpa. Ruan Xinxue, you'll be responsible if Grandpa doesn't allow you to manage the family's jewelry company anymore." The plump woman cursed as she walked into the villa.
This villa with a small courtyard covers quite a large area. Upon entering, there's a rather wide cobbled path, flanked by lush lawns. There's also a swimming pool on the left lawn.
"Um, Qin Yang, you're hurting me..." Ruan Xinxue's face showed a slight blush.
"Hm?"
Qin Yang turned his head, realizing his hand was still on Ruan Xinxue's delicate wrist. A hint of embarrassment crossed his old face, about to let go, he suddenly felt a cool stream of spiritual energy.
Qin Yang's pupils shrank instantly, his gaze fixed on the glistening green bracelet on Ruan Xinxue's wrist.
"What's wrong?"
Ruan Xinxue noticed Qin Yang staring unblinkingly at her wrist, her face turning red.
"Let me feel that again…" Qin Yang seriously said.
"Go to hell, you little rogue, what are you thinking? Just now, you took advantage of me, didn't you…" Ruan Xinxue's face blushed even more, teasingly spitting back, wondering if this guy was revealing his true nature.
"Cough."
Qin Yang coughed awkwardly, a trace of embarrassment crossed his old face. This girl had misunderstood; he wasn't that kind of person, right?
"I meant the bracelet."
Qin Yang pointed at the green Jade Bracelet on Ruan Xinxue's hand and said.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xinxue's face was even redder. She glared at Qin Yang with embarrassment and annoyance; he hadn't made himself clear, causing her to misunderstand.
"Look."
Ruan Xinxue raised her hand to show the jade bracelet to Qin Yang.
At this moment, the plump woman happened to pass them, casting an angry glance and deliberately raising her voice.
"Hmph, flirting and messing around, isn't it time to treat Grandpa?"
After speaking, the plump woman sashayed into the door.
"Qin Yang, maybe after treating Grandpa, I'll show it to you."
Ruan Xinxue said apologetically.
"Okay."
Qin Yang nodded. Although the feeling just now was extremely subtle, Qin Yang had indeed caught onto it. There was indeed a thin stream of spiritual energy from the Jade Bracelet seeping into his body.
This Jade Bracelet very likely contained spiritual energy, so no matter what, he must take a closer look at the bracelet later!
The interior of the villa was decorated grandly, clean and bright.
On the genuine leather sofa in the living room sat two old men, with a lingering aroma of tea. One was Ruan Zhengtian, who had a seizure that day on the street, and was also Ruan Xinxue's grandfather.
The other old man wore a brown long robe, his hair slightly gray, an expression of harmony, and beside his right hand was a purple sandalwood medicine chest.
Besides the two old men, there was a young man in a black suit.
As soon as the plump woman came in, she animatedly told Ruan Zhengtian, "Old man, you wouldn't believe it, Xinxue, this girl, doesn't care about your health at all. She brought a yellow-haired kid from who knows where, insisting he's a doctor..."
"Second Sister-In-Law, what are you saying?"
Upon hearing the plump woman gossiping to her grandfather, Ruan Xinxue furrowed her brows, angrily speaking. She didn't mind taking some of the insult herself, but Qin Yang was here to treat her grandfather, not to take her heated words.
"Xinxue, you're so young, don't be tricked into losing money or heart. How can you become the president of Ruan Jewelry Group like this? You should learn from my Liang; he's much more steady in his actions and specially invited Zhou Yizhen for this..."
The plump woman saw Ruan Xinxue and disdainfully glanced at Qin Yang, then assuming the role of elder, spoke earnestly, belittling Ruan Xinxue while praising her husband Ruan Liang in front of the old man.
Listening to the plump woman's words, Qin Yang was a bit surprised. Ruan Xinxue was probably just in her early twenties, already the president of a group? Looking at her, she actually was a strong woman?
After a brief moment, Qin Yang snapped back to reality, his gaze directed towards Ruan Zhengtian sitting on the sofa, smiling, "Old man, we've met again."
"You little rogue, who are you calling 'old man', have some manners..." The plump woman pointed at Qin Yang, angrily cursed.
"Shut up!"
Ruan Zhengtian's face sank, he stood up, casting a cold glance at the plump woman, sternly saying, "I invited this young doctor myself."
Upon hearing this, the plump woman's face instantly froze. This yellow-haired kid really was... invited by the old man?
The young man in a black suit, Ruan Liang, also frowned. Although the old man mentioned the young doctor was young, this was excessively young.
He seemed like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school student with dyed yellow hair. What kind of doctor, might as well call him a little rogue.
The brown-robed old man was also surprisedly observing Qin Yang, doctors typically were more esteemed the older they got. He had never seen such a young doctor.
"Young doctor, please have a seat. The old man should have personally greeted you, but I troubled you to come here." Ruan Zhengtian, instead of feeling any displeasure from Qin Yang's address, had a kind smile on his face as he spoke.
